From industrial paralysis has come
Industrial activity; from labor vainly

an isolated nation, living within itself,
seeking only the development of Its
own resources and unknown In the
politics and policies OF other countries.
we have become. by Il series of vic
tories which surpass the achievements
on sea or on land Of any period. a
great world power
The wheat of the Pacific coast will

pool Civilization and Christianity
and orderly liberty. following the flag,
will bestow inestimable benefits upon
distant semi-barbarous and alien races.
There will be TO our own people the
reciprocal benefits which come from
1000. 100000 instead of 7O,OOO,OOO of
people wanting the products of our
soil, the results Of our agriculture, the
output of our mines and the surplus
of our mills, our factories and our fur-
naceS.
The growing friction between the
east and the west has disappeared.
The dude respected on the plains and
the cowboy cheered in New York are
only evidences of far deeper and
most beneficial sentiment.
The bugaboo Of the scarcity OF gold
to meet the standard of the world has
disappeared in the increased supply.
The demand for the precious metal
stimulated activity and discovery and
the American mines alone have
doubled their output in the last year,
while a similar result is found in the
gold coming from the markets OF the
world from fresh discoveries in Africa
and Australia.
We rejoice in the strengthened bonds
of national union. 1t was wise states
manship and fervid patriotism which
commissioned as generals of our army
in the war with Spain Joe Wheeler
and FitZhugh Lee. The faded gray OF
the cOnfederacy became Il souvenir of
Il cause gallantly fought for and hap
PLY lost, and the blue of the republic
mighty and imperishable by the loyal
" and love of all its citizens.
The gold in the United States treas
ury under the conditions produced by
distrust of revenue and currency ran
down to $42,000,O00, but to-day the
amount is $223,O00.OOO. the largest
sum which the treasury has ever held.
Our imports have decreased S14S,OOO,-
600 since the Inauguration of Repub-
lican president, and our exports have
increased S2O0,00O,OO0.
Wheat, in its upward flight, ran
away from silver SO rapidly that the

Best Figures on Record.

The apportionment of school moneys
this fall in Michigan is $1.50 per cap
ita, by far the highest figure ever
known In the State. This is brought
about by the good money turned into
the State Treasury under the new rail
road taxation law. and lessons the

pie of the State to that amount Every

TO REMAIN IN MANILA.
Admiral Dewey's Presence with His
Fleet Will he Needed for Some
Time to Come.

Secretary Long said that Admiral
leave of absence and he would remain
at Manila as long as the situation de-
manded his presence there.
Admiral Dewey will not leave Manila
until the Philippine question has been
settled by the peace commissioners at
Paris. Everything is quiet at Manila
at the present time, but Aguinaldo
realizes that his representatives at
Paris will not receive any recognition
at the hands of the peace commission.
He may be disposed to make trouble.
The administration has perfect conf
dence in Gen. Otis ID handle the situa-
ton whatever it may be, but at the
same time it is the intention of Pres
ident Mckinley to keep Dewey there
for the moral effect his fleet would
have if anything disquieting should
occur. In the event that Aguinaldo's
followers should become restless and
commit any overt acts, the desire TO
interfere might manifest itself again
and his representatives may under
take TO cooperate with the insurgents.
For these and other reasons Admiral
Dewey's presence at Manila is just as
necessary now as it was three months
ago. In addition TO this, when the
Washington authorities intimated to
Dewey a short time ago that his pres
ence here was desirable, he replied
that he had better remain at Manila.
Since then nothing has been said about
Admiral Dewey leaving his post.

Ed ward Baxter Perry.

Edward Baxter Perry. to whom our
people will be privileged to listen, at the
opera house, November 9, is a remark
able type of American manhood. He
was born in one of the suburbs of Bos-
ton on st. Valentines day, 1855, and by
accident became totally blind at the age
of three years.
Through the kindness of his parents
and friends and his own determination,
his education was obtained in the com
mon schools by having his lessons read to
him, and he reciting from memory,
He began the study of the piano at the
age of six years, under Mr.. Junius w,
Hill of Boston, and at the age of sixteen
resolved to devote his life to that instru-
ment; not as Blind Tom ana Others have.
merely playing as we sometimes say, ''by
ear" but he resolved to rise superior to
his physical infirnities and take his
place, man among men, and, measured
by that standard, to either rise or fall,
asking no favors. Accordingly he never
played by ear, but got his music the
same as he did his lessons in school.
BY long practice, he has acquired such
facility that he takes all compositions at
first reading, even the most difficult con
cert solos. And in his professional work
he has proven himself the first genuine
blind musician of prominence: that is,
the real artist, not a prodigy, and the only
one to challenge fair comparison with
the leading members of his profession.
Besides his studies in Boston, he spent
six years with European teachers. Two
years with Theodore Kallak in Berlin,
two with Pruckner in Stuttgart, one
with Listz in Weimar and one with Clara
Schumann in Frankfort.
After completing his studies abroad
he settled in Boston, and for the first
three years devoted the winter months
to teaching and the fall months to con
certs and recitals At the end of three
years his concert engagements were so
multiplied as to demand all his time. and
for the past ten seasons he has done
nothing else.
In his popular lecture recitals he ap-
pears as both lecturer and pianist, pre-
facing each piece with descriptions and
explanations.
Mr.. Perry has appeared in concerts in
every large city and before every college
and seminary of prominence in the mid
die states, and he but recently returned
from very successful European tour.
Mr.. Perry is credited with having given
more concerts in given length of time
than any pianist that ever lived. His
compositions are not numerous, but of
high order. Actuated by love for his
profession, Mr.. Perry has never catered
to the trivial idea, which regards music
as mere pastime, but has always made
firm and uncompromising stand for the
highest ideals in his art, and to raise the
standard of music and of humanity has
been the object of his life and labors.

results of which are already evidenced
by a remarkable decrease in the death

probably, Porto Rican and Cuban

THE PRACTICAL JOKER.

when his door was knocked half off its

man, jumping up in a panic. "What the
dickens is the matter?"
Bang! bang! bang! went the door like
three cannon shots. "Get upl Get up!"
called somebody from tho hall, and then
there was a sound of quickly retreating
footsteps.
The drummer was thoroughly alarmed.
