Commerce In the Far East.

Commerce In the Far East.
Secretary Wilson, who has just re-
turned TO Washington from western
trip all the way to the Pacific coast,
where he went to study agricultural
conditions, so as to make the work of
the agricultural department as help
full as possible to the farmers in that
section, says the talk about a senti-
ment in the West against the Philip
pine policy of President Mckinley is
all manufactured in the East, and that
he did not meet a single anti west
of Chicago, although he met hundreds
of men in all stations of life. He
found the farmers prosperous all
through the West, and especially SO
in the corn belt. He says the wheat
crop of that section will be little
short, but that the crops of corn and
oats and other farm products are
enormous. Speaking Of the annexa-
ton sentiment in the West, Secretary
Wilson said:
1.-THE people of the West understand
this question better than do those of
the East They know that Dewey was
sent to the Philippines to protect our
large and growing trade with the
Orient We have labored to build up
a trade with China and Japan, and
when the war began Spain had
a fleet in Oriental waters ready to at
tack and destroy our commerce. She
also was ready to encourage priva-
teering, and Dewey went to Hong
Kong to protect our shipping. He
destroyed the Spanish fleet as the safe
way to prevent it from preying upon
American merchant ships.
Had the battle resulted in a victory
for Spain rather than for Dewey, the
Spanish feet would have crossed the
Pacific to attack our western ports.
The people out West realize this, and
they also realize that Dewey's victory
and the subsequent events which
transferred the Philippines to the
United States have given an extraor-
binary impetus to the commerce of
this country with the Orient. At all
the Pacific ports the docks are piled
up with goods awaiting shipment TO
the Orient, and we have not ships
enough to carry them.
The people of the West regard the
Pacific as an American lake, which
should be covered with ships carrying
the American flag, ard | don't know
but they are about right. Why.
went on one big ship loading at Ia
coma, and l found in the cargo lum-
Der, wheat and flour from the state of
Washington; butter and eggs from
Iowa and Michigan; fruit from Cali
fornia and Oregon; steel from Ala
bama; cotton goods from the Caro-
Enas; bicycles from Chicago; notions
from New England, and something
from more than half the states in the
Union.
This cargo was bound for China
and Japan. and il represented every
section and nearly every branch of
industry in the United States. It
showed me more clearly than l had
ever seen before the general interest
We all have in this Oriental trade

Correspondence.
A Pertinent Question.
WEST FRANKLIN, Aug. IA, 1S9

WEST FRANKLIN, Aug. IA, 1879.
To the Editor Of The American:
Will you allow me space in your paper
to inquire why Italians are allowed to run
beer saloons unmolested, while our citi-
zens are debarred from the privilege?
While the Italians were here they ran
their beer car and sold beer. One of our
citizens made an attempt to sell beer. and
visions of Ellsworth jail were promptly
brought to his view. He had to stop. The
Italians kept right on selling, and sold to
Yankees as well as to the dirty sons OF
Italy.
Now am in favor Of temperance, but
believe in giving an American the same
privileges that foreigners have. Now will
some one please inform me why these for
eigners should have these special priv
ileges? CHARLES f. BUTLER.

There's work for real live game warden
in the vicinity of Ellsworth. There is
every indication that the law protecting
cartridges is being fiagrantly violated.
Last year a partial stop was put to the
poaching by the activity OF game warden
at Bar Harbor, but SO far this season the
hunters apparently have been unmo-
Tested. AS every hunter knows, at this
season the young cartridges are easily
killed. A bevy of young birds will fly to
a tree when flushed, and will remain there
until shot down Bar Har Dor furnishes a
ready market for the birds, and they are
sold there at fancy figures. An energetic
game warden could make his expenses q
good many times over in few days.

CHINESE COURT HISTORIANS.

There are cCuTt historians in China as there arc in i-tner countries, but there is One striking difference, and it lies in the fact that the work of the Chinese court historians does not see the light until the reigning dynasty comes to an end.
 In this way these celestial historians have an opportunity to describe most trUthfUIy the virtues and vices Of the various rulers and the real significance -f t1e events which take rtace during their regime. They can write what they Dlcase without fear of censure for they know that their work vii, net be published as long as the reigning dynasty lasts.
 This has been the rule for more than two thousand years, che first court his 0orlans having been appointed by the imperial rcuse of Han. which reigned frtoGn 206 B. c. until 25 A. D.
 The duty of these historians is to write 2 I-ain acccunt of all the events thaj1 occur during their tenure of office. At regular intervals t.heir completed work $ taken from them and is locked ui3 in an iron safe or vault. There it reErains until the first member of 2 new dyrasey ascende the thrcne.
 It is then given Win all the cther histories in the vault to the court his 'tonian whc is then living. and from the mass of docjtn er15 ilc is exEac.ei to prepare a truthful history of the dy nasty which has just expired. The present dynasty has been rcigning since 1544. and consequently no c2urs history has been published since that date.-New York Herald.

ELECTION OF SENATOR'S.

The characte~ Of our government is the test Of republican institutions A fountain cannGt rise higher than it's source. We cannot have a better gov ernEnent than we have a people. If the people will not create honest legis- latUrcs they vii. not create honest state conventions. If any improve ment is required in the character Of senatorial representatives it is not to be attained by substituting a state convention for legislature. It is by elevating public sentiment, applying higher tests for office, and the general performance of citizens duty by all citizens.--Cinclnnati Enquirer.

Mines and MininQ

alloy of metals, which go to form the ordinary beer tankard in an inn The collector of pewter, however. knows very differently, ard mc.t people will be surprised to hear that real old pewter is extremely rare.
 The modern public house tankard, although it may be known by the gen eric title of pewter is not pewter at all, but much cheaper and less in- teresting mixture of metal known as sand pewter
 In fact, the cid art of pewter making is almost entirely lost, and no modern makers have been able to produce q combination of lead and tin equal to ] that which was current 100 or more years ago.
 Experts in the subject say that in all probability the famous pewter mak- CTS, Hobhouse, Jarmyn and the like, possessed the secret of a third ingredi- [ ent which is not known. When the improved processes of glass making made glass vessels extraordinarily cheap pewter making fell into disuse and with it's fall its secret perished also.
 For the collector bf pewter this is j most happy circumstance, for it makes his objects rare and valuable. Prob ably the best known pewter collector in England is Frank Jackson, the well known artist and the secretary of the London Sketch club.
 It was owing to him that the first. dinner was eaten entirely from pew ter and it is through him that the pewter dinners have become an art istic function, to' which many amateurs of the curious in life would give a good deal tc be invited.
 The originator of the idea began to collect pewter some lime ago, in frag- ments. He wiould come across a dish here, a riate there CT fine tankard in some country tavern. As the col. lection graT it became his ambition to have a complete dinner service for ax least six persons, a thing which, as every collector knows, is extremely difficult cf achievement
 Gradually ,he set grew. The fine col lection Of tankards belonging to one Of the smaller inns of court came into thes market and was at once bought up Some w3nderful tureens and basins ,)f pewter were found Tn Rome, the re- mains Of the table service Of cardinal in the middle ages.
 The great-so difficulty Of al. was ex- perienced in the Sear,h for liquor ''giasses' of pewter. The artist was determined that nothing should be wanting in his dinner service and that it should be conp,ce dl-wn tc the smallest detail.
 Eventually, strange as 1t may seem. the IiqUcr glasses" were picked up Tn Algeers. They are of very rare and curious workmanship. Pewter seems so thoroughly an English product that one finds it difficult fJ5t imagine it of Mc'o~ish workmanship.
 The knives were discovered at the sale Of an old country mansion with it's effects. The handles are of thick pew ser It is curious also to find how diff fcCtt it is 10 eat with pewter spoons after the light silver cnes in use in the present day. When the whole dinner service was completed the plan o1 reg Ular pewter dinners was inaugurated by MT. Jackson. These take place in 8 great studio at the home Of the art ist, Bradford Park. More than ore old English tradition is kept with due solemnity and old English fare is eaten.-Cnicago Chrcn;cle.

BABIES AGAIN.
A Difficult Problem.

One of the most difficult problems
a mother has to solve is what to feed
the baby on when the mothers milk
gives out or when the baby arrives at
an age that it seems to demand some
food besides the mothers milk alone.
Cows milk will agree with some
children and with others it will not,
but when cows milk is served with
Marjorie's Baby Food, it will agree
with all children, for the reason that
the Baby Food is of such a character
as to prevent the formation of hard
curds in the stomach.i
The elements required to properly
nourish child's body are we'll known,
having been discoveEed and classified
by analysis. Use has been made of
this knowledge and a scientific food
that proves its value by use has been
put on the market and carries the
name of Marjorie's Baby Food. 1t is
made by the Postum Cereal company,
at Battle Greek, Mich, and can be OBJ
tanned of grocers and druggists at 10
and 30 cents per package.
A free package will be sent to
mothers or invalids applying by pos

The visitors were overwhelmed by

work and Stricklett's puzzling pitch

two innings, the Kreigites getting a
pair of scores, but thereafter he set
tied down, and twisted the sphere in
such an enigmatical manner, that try
as they would, the. visitors could solve
him but occasionally, not being able
to secure passage around the circuit
for another of their men.
Rothermel. the first man up for
Rock Island, was hit by Sonier. AS
if to avenge the assault on their COM
rade the locals began forthwith a
round of the cannonading for which
they are famous. And they main
tanned the charge until. the third
Kreigite turned up his toes in the
ninth.

lett and Ball, the clever hitting of
Wright and O'Rourke and the beauti-
full fielding of Bay. The score:
