THE story of the massacre of Amer
leans and British in Samoa, printed in
yesterdays HERALD, was one of great
interest. In the first place it is not un-
likely that the United States may get
into some sort of trouble with Germa-
ny over the affair owing to the fact that
the ambush was prepared on a planta-
ton belonging to German citizen.
There has been much hard feeling
against Germany all along in this Sa-
moan matter and this latest incident,
accompanied by bloodshed, will not
serve to lessen that feeling. Great
Britain will almost certainly demand
PREPARATION tfrom the GeI man govern
ment, and we can do no less for our
people than that nation does for hers.
The second and less remote possibility
as shown by the fight at Apia is that
of an active alliance. or at least COM
plete understanding, between England
and the United States in oriental poll
ties, If indeed such an arrangement
does not already exist. It is an in
spring thought, of British and Anne
rican marines fighting shoulder to
shoulder in common cause. And 1t
almost looks as if they were fighting
at this moment against Germany rath-
er than against the Mataafaites. The |
situation is one of unknown possibili- |
ties. Only time will tell what the re-
suit will be.

Elder David Walk.

An Ell Psso, Texas, paper says: THE
series Of revival meetings now being
conducted at the Christian church by
DR.. David Walk, is attracting consider
able local attention, and there is q
large attendance at the church nightly
to hear this eloquent minister. DR.,
Walk was a pupil under Alexander,
Peter Cartright and "Raccoon' John
Smith, the three founders of the de-
nomination known as the Christian
church. He was pastor for Is years of
q Paris, KY, church, the church, as is
well known to its worshippers, having
been founded in Kentucky. 1t was in
Bourbon county, that state, where the
celebrated debate between DIR. Camp
bell and DR.. Rice. noted Presbyterian
minister, took place. DIR. Walk went
from Paris to Memphis, where he was
in charge of the largest Christian
church in that city for several years,
before being called to Los Angeles
He is considered by many of the church
to be the peer in ability to Drs.
Sweeney, Wilkes, McGarvey, Lord
and Hobsop. the recognized leading
divines of the Christian church today.
DR.. Walk has a forcible delivery,
shows himself to be deep student and
learned in matters theologically. The
revival services here are to continue
Indefinitely"
There are some striking errors in
the above article. Alexander Camp
bell was meant: Peter Cartwright was |
Methodist, and possibly taught Walk |
Methodism, as he was at first a Metho- |
dist. Walk was not in Paris Is years. |
The Rice-Campbell debate was in |
but Rice lived in Paris. |
Barton Stone should have been named |
instead of Peter Cartright.-Paris,

THE free silver agitation will die a
natural death before many years, and
it will never again have half the fol-
lowing that it secured in 1896. It is
now predicted that the production of
gold by the year 1900 will annually
amount to as much as the com bined
output of gold and silver In 1896. There
is not now, if there ever has been, any
doubt that gold will hereafter be able
to supply all the needs of the world as
a money metal. The gold standard is
now an urdisputed fact in this country
and there is slight possibility that it
will ever be overturned.

On May fret, 1898, Admiral Dewey
destroyed the Spanish fleet in the bay
Of Manila, and crippled Spain's power
in the orient, fighting almost half the
war on one Sunday morning. 1t would
be highly fitting that on the first of
May this year, il every city and town

ton should be given to that great
victory. The HERALD suggests that
the occasion be properly observed in

ceive suggestions as to the best form
the celebration might take.

IMMIGRATION QUESTION.
A Practical Test Supplied by . New York
Factory.

She was shirtmaker, writes Mary
Gay Humphreys, in Scribner's. The
girls had the trade in their own hands,
and made good wages. First one black
bearded man got in and he brought his
brother and his son. Soon the room
was half filed with men in shiny clothes
and big black boards. who brought their
relations The girls first objected be-
cause they made the factory towel 80
black with their dirty hands. After
that the girls brought their own towels.
but the black men seemed to choke up
the room and swallow all the air. Then
work began to give out; the black
bearded men were taking il home to do
nights, when their wives and daughters
could help them. The old people and
the little children. who could do moth
ing else, pulled out the hastings. The
boss found he could get his work done
cheaper and save in rent and fuel At
last prices We're cut until the girls might
as well strike or starve. They struck.
1t is irrelevant but instructive to
know that they made gallant fight and
lost. The black bearded men came in
greater force and took all the work
home; the factory was given up. the
girls thrown out of work. Thus was
the question of immigration pressed
upon them

CANADA'S POPULATION.
The Majority in Her House of Com
mons Moving from the Enst
to the West.

The shifting of the majority of the
Dominion house of commons from the
eastern to the western portion of
Canada. which has been going on slow
ly since the union Of the provinces, is
likely to be greatly accelerated now.
In the first parliament after the union
there were only SO members for all of
Canada west Of the Ottawa, and 90 for
the portion east of the Ottawa river.
In the present house there are 104 mem
bers from the east and 1903 from the
west. The expectation among those
who watch the drift of population is
that the redistribution of the parlia-
mentary representation. following upon
the census Of 1901. will add materially
not only to the western contingent at
the expense of the east, but also to he
total number of the VESTS representa-
tives.
The province OF Quebec is holding its
population much better than during
the last census period. This means that
there will be several thousands more
of population to each of the IS members
to whom she is entitled. As n result.
the population unit, per member, in the
other provinces must be increased also.
In the maritime provinces, where the
natural increase Of population still
drifts largely to the western portion of
the Dominion. or to the United States.
reduction in the representation will
he inevitable. The increase of popula-
ton in the west will more than make
up for this shrinkage. Unless western
prophets are entirely too sanguinc.
there will be population of at least
100000 between Lake Superior and the
Pacific by the end of the century. The
fact that the west viii be in few years
hold the control Of political power in
the Dominion is becoming more and
more apparent TO public MEM. Y.

GATHERING AQUARIUM STOCK.
How Live Fishes Are Selected and Pre-
pared for Transportation.

Men experienced in gathering aquari-
I'm stock never ship fish long dis
tances Immediately after they are
caught, if it can he avoided; the NOR
tally is almost sure to be great among
stock so shipped. BY whatever means
a fish has been captured, says the New
York Sun, it is likely to have been more
or less excited and it may have suffered
some injury which would make it liable
to attack by fungus. 1t is the practice
when possible TO place the newly
caught fish in fish ears or in some other
suitable place at or near the shore in the
vicinity of where they We're caught.
where they may be rested for the jour
ney, accustomed under favorable con-
ditions to captivity, and accustomed to
feeding. and where the weak or injured
fishes may be weeded out.
In this way only good and sound fish
are finally started, and these are start
ed in the best possible condition. Fishes
thus selected and prepared are far more
likely to get through all right, and
such fishes are, of course. far more like
ly to survive in an aquarium

LONDON GAME SHOPS.
from the Best Of wild Fowl
That Flies.

To the naturalist, and in some cases
to the gastronomist, the wild fowl in
the London shops are even more inter
esting than the game. The first rush
of the duck, teal and widgeon finds it's
way to the market at about the end
of the first week in October, and from
that time till December these three
STANDARD ducks" for the table form
the main part of the supply. Their
numbers are supplied equally by Eng
land and Holland, though it is noted
| that the Dutch ducks are nearly all
mallards, not more than 10 in 100 be-
ing females. In one large dealers shop
in Leadenhail market the writer saw
a mountain" of 1900 wild duck, teal
and widgeon, all freshly killed, which
arrived from Rotterdam on the morn
ing of November IA.
Some duck come from France to Lon
don. This was shown by curious
piece of circumstantial evidence. In
the inland lagoons and lakes in the
Landes, near Bordeaux. ducks are reg
ulArlv shot by means of decoys. Tubs
are sunk in the water for the gunner
to stand in, some times backed hv n
subsidiary tub to hold his water poodle.
and the decoy ducks are fastened to
strings some six yards apart. The gym
is carefully laid so as to shoe; down
the lane between the rows Of dCr1ys.
and the gunner waits until enough wild
birds are collected and then lets f1y.
I'hc decOv duck, are a cross between
the wild mallarI and the white tame
ducks, partly that they may be dis
tinguishel by their color. One Of thesr
French "dccoy ducks" was included in
a batch Of forc'~n Wild fowl on sal p
in a game shop in October. II had an-
parently been taken in a real "decpy"
with others. as its neck was broken. and
il was not shot.
In December the fancy ducks" and
Wild brent geese appear. The brent is
n small blacknecked goose. Of quiet,
and elegant plumage When pluched it
is not much larger than tame duck.
Last year they were early on the mar
ket, and a few bcrnicle geese. another
black and white sea goose. also APP
peared. The usual price asked for a
brent goose is two shillings six pence.
but little bargaining reduces him to
two shillings, as there is little demand
for any Out-of-the-way fowl. Birds Of
the year bred in the arctic circle aud
fed later on sea grass round our coasts
are excellent. They may be eaten with
in three or four days Of being shot The
breast is as good as that Of a wild duck.
though the legs are apt to have a slight
" fishy flavor. The pochard, n red
headed duck, almost as large as a NAL
lard, is not common, but when it can
be had is better even than teal.-Corn-

A PANToMIME DRILL.
An ARTILLERY Company's Iastrustien
At the start - the
Civil War.

One Of the first artillery companies
organized in the west at the beginning
of the civil war was formed at st. Jo-
seph, Mo. 1t was known as long as any
of the organization were left as Coon
Thornton's artillery. Thornton was Il
lumber merchant in the town. He was
n Yankee. Prior to the war he was
66sregarCNed socially. The community
was suspicious of the eastern man, es-
pecially one from New England. But
when he espoused the cause of the
south he became favorite. When he
organized a company to fight the union
lie was hero.
There was not a cannon in the town
where the company was organized. 1t
was considered advisable to drill be-
fore going to the front. The only pub
lie hall in the town was used for this
purpose. A local artist who had seen
pictures of cannon chalked out the out
line of one on the floor OF the hall. a
man who had been in the Michigan war
and had book on tactics was drill
master. The evolutions necessary to
famliarize the company with
cannon were made about the chalk out
lines. In other words, the drill was a
pantomime. But the men were as
earnest in the motions as il they had
great gun.
From some unknown source there
came cargo of Roman swords. They
we're exact copies Of those worn by
Caesars legions. Where they had been
stored and for how long no one knew.
unless it was the donor. and he kept
his personality in the background. But
when Coon Thornton's artillery com
pany went into camp with the state
guard it went armed with Roman
swords and no cannon. The company
never had a cannon until il went into
the first fight. II was attached to the
regiment OF a Missouri colonel, who
ordered Thornton to drop few shells
into a thicket. where a federal squad
was seen to go. Thornton said he would
do it If he had the gun. There was a
brass field piece in n wagon in the com
missary department. and il was brought
out. 1t was swabbed, rammed and fired
in accordance with the chalk drill, and
did effective work. Coon Thornton's ar
tillery made an effective record dur
ing the war. The Roman swords were
never brought into rcquisition, how
ever, except when raids were made on
hen roosts or on fugitive porker.-

Some Good Shots,

There is more in the way you shoot
than the gun you shoot with. One man
near Hay Lake, Me, killed a moose with
the smallest working cartridge known
"A 22-caliber. He encountered the
moose suddenly in the woods, and, with
in less than 80 feet, fired two shots
from his little revolver. The animal fell
dead at the second shot. which, on ex-
animation, was found to have pierced
its heart. Another Maine woodsman
brought down moose with n 22-caliber
revolver. and out west there are stories
of grizzlies being killed by 22-caliber
express rifles. The ordinary hunter.
however, would rather take chances
