IMMENSELY OF THE RUBBER
TRADE

The enormous demand for rubber has
greatly stimulated the culture of the
rubber plant in Brazil and other South
American States. It promises indeed
to become one of the most profitable
and extensive industries in all South
America. The bicycle is most largely
responsible for this condition, and the
bicycle in North America especially,
since it is ridden more in the United
States than anywhere else.
But the firing of horse vehicles with
rubber is now becoming common, and
hence there is a new demand for the
raw material It is said that Brazil
alone now exports 100000 600 worth OF
raw rubber annually, and that the vol
ume is rapidly increasing. Ecuador
and Colombia, however, have better cli-
mate and plants than Brazil for rub
Der production, but the people there
are not so much alive to the possibili-
ties of their trade as are those of Bra
zil. Nevertheless, the export from these
states IS rapidly expanding IN volume.
1t embraces the rubber from every
known variety of tree or shrub that
exudes the raw material.
The belief is now entertained that
the rubber trade is soon to eclipse in
money and industrial Importance and
value the cocoa and the coffee trade
Yet twenty years ago the rubber trade
was light, so very light in view of the
then large supply of raw material, the
profits for gathering a crop were toe
small to much stimulate the business
Now, however, the swelling of the de-
mand has made fine profits possible,
without much advancing the price OF
finished products to the consumer.

The old custom of giving many names
to girls is, according to the New York
Sun" going out rapidly in this coun-
try, while still adhered to in Europe
For instance, it is found that at Rad
cliffe College, a New England institu-
ton, among the 413 girls at school
there, only one in three has a second
Christian name. The variety of names
is very small, only 120 being divided
among the lot. One of these, Mary, IN
one form or another, belongs to every
sixth girl; every Twentieth has the
name Elizabeth Frances, Helen, Edith
or Alice; while Anne, Sarah, Louise
Mabel, Katharine, Caroline, Charlotte,
Florence, Margaret, Henrietta, Harriet
and Grace are in a small minority
There is a scattering of names such
as Ruth. Lucy, Emily, Dorothea, Rose
Agnes, Constance, Faith, Olive, Laura
Beatrice, Susan, Julia and Della
Strange as it may seem.for New Eng
land, where scriptural names once
abounded. not an Esther, Abigail,
Rachel, Deborah, Judith or Miriam is
found AS for classic names, there are
Cornelia, Arethusa and Euphrosyne
one each; and there is a solitary Beu-
lah; one Puritan reminder in Delight,
and one brace of ingenious parents has
created the name "Happie." Happily
for New England taste, there are no
such absurd names for American girls
at Radcliffe as Florina, Velma, Melora,
Alzora, Philinda, Elva or Luenna, sew
eral of which a Western girls seminary
reports their pupils bearing, among
life's other burdens.

ALL TO THE FRONT!

Santa Rosa Press Democrat: When a
nation .has become involved in war the
supreme duty of all citizens is to rally
to the support of the Government, to
the end that the struggle upon which
1T has entered may be brought to an
early and successful conclusion. There
is room for no discussion now except
such as relates to the ways and means
for most quickly striking down the
public enemy and compelling him to
sue for peace. Whatever sacrifices may
be required from use we should make
cheerfully. Mothers must be prepared
to part with their sons, wives with their
husbands, and children with their
fathers. The rich must be ready to give
up from their store without stint, and
the poor to surrender still another frac-
ton from their pittance. However
greatly we may have differed in the
past as to the necessity or wisdom of
an appeal to the arbitrament of arms,
we must sink our differences now. Di-
vided counsels would be unpatriotfc,
and opposition treason Americans to
the 'front.' Union and victoryi

THE PRESIDENT.
Colusa Sun: The war clouds have OBJ
great national expense, to stop trades
and demoralize our people. The press
as a general thing, has formed public
opinions for war, and our national
Legislature, to say the least, has been
unreasonable, ignorant of the situation
ana craving the excitement of an i'm
brogllo. The people elected to the Pres
ldency a man of ability and judgment
ana then sent Congress there to keep
MN from exercising that judgment for
the benefit of our country. A diplomat
oy nature, skilled in the politics Of his
own country and we'll informed in those
OF other lands, he has done more than
could be expected with the excited Con-
gress With whom he had to deal They
nave curbed and biased his ability to an
extent that has given more trouble than
all his dealings with the second-class
power.that threatens to draw the world
into s. war
GROWTH OF AMERICAN SHIPPING.
Los Angeles Record: Those who have
not kept in touch with the maritime de-
Velopment of the country will be sur
prlsed TO learn that Buffalo now ranks
fourth among the commercial ports of
the world The tonnage of the lakes
mas already far surpassed that of the
Suez Canal, the total of which was
GOOO,00O tons for the year 1896. During
the same period the shipping of the 500
reached over 100000 tons, and this
aggregate falls far short of representing
the entire tonnage OF the lakes.
In view of these facts it is not sur
prisfng that about S12000,000 is being
expended in deepening and otherwise
improving Erie Canal. During last year
II, ,563 vessels entered at Buffalo, repre-
senting tonnage of II ,581, ,S5S
The above figures show the rapid de-
yelopment of the country tributary to
the Atlantic seaboard With the con-
struction of the Nicaraguan Canal, the
commercial development of the Pacific
West will be even more marked, to
which may be added heavy islands and
Oriental ocean traffic. If Congress were
alive to this country's possibilities legis-
lators would not return to their homes
from the present session without inau-
gurating the work that would surely
lead to American supremacy on the
seas

Riverside Press: The directions sent
out to the Governors of the various
States. in making the call for 12o,0OO
volunteers, are very explicit on the
point that the preference shall be given
to members of the National Guard, be-
cause they are already drilled and
equipped 1t is obviously much better
to make use of forces that are trained
and armed so far as possible, rather
than to take new recruits and equip
them. The militia will therefore un-
doubtedly be given the preference in
making up the quota from each State,
and hence every member of the Ma
tional Guard in California is on the
oli vive these days waiting to be
called into active service. Whether the
National Guard companies and reg1-
ments will lose their identity and be
organized with new officers when they
become regulars is a question that is
being very earnestly discussed. The
bows are loyal and patriotic, and they
will s.obey orders strictly, but it will
be a keen disappointment to them If
the present companions are broken up
and the present officers are superseded
by others.

The clerks in the express department
have been particularly busy for the last
few days sending off Christmas boxes.
II now rests with the merchants and the
people generally as 10 the future Of the

10 uphold it, then it is an assured institu-
ton which is there 20 stay.
Broad street is now to Richmond what
Broadway is TO New York and the time
is now at hand when the people should
have every advantage on that thorough
fare that is granted Main street. 1t has
been suggested that II would be well 10
have the bank observe later hours, 50
that the merchants on Broad street can
secure accommodations after the down
town banks close.
1t Is understood that n thorough can
yass will be made of the street after
Christmas and that hours will be OBJ
served so as 10 benefit the greatest num-
Der who express themselves for hours
most suitable to the merchants.
