A MERE INCIDENT,

The shipment of gold to Europe by
New York bank a few days ago, the
first in more than n year, was not
bearing upon financial conditions. It
was, as New York paper says, mere
incident, probably not at all related to
our own conditions, excepting in one
way, the one suggested by the ease Of
money rates. 1t is likely that the bank
that made the shipment found an op-
portunity to use a million of gold in
Europe at better profit than can be
obtained here. 1t is stated that the same
institution a year ago discovered abroad
such opportunities for making money
through loans and discounts that at one
time it was creditor with the bankers
of Europe by little over $3O,OOO,O0O.
But even if this shipment was not
made for special reason and had no
relation to normal conditions, there
would be nothing alarming about it.
Europe has been selling a good many
American securities, large amount of
exchange has been carried abroad by
travellers IrOIH Cne UulIeu StdLeS, llu-
ports have increased and the interna-
tional trade balance is lower just now
than at any time in the last two years,
but all this occasions no concern or
should cause none, so great is the bal
ance in favor of this country. Moreover
there is reason to believe that before
fall we shall again see the trade balance
in our favor growing, though probably
not on the scale of the last two years.
The financial situation of this country
is so strong that it could not be dis
turbed by the export of several millions
of gold, the supply Of which here is
greater than ever before and larger than
that of any other country. Those who
give closest attention to financial con-
ditions expect further imports Of gold
before the close ot the present year and
there are very sound reasons for this
anticipation.

4MERICA THE 4RBITER.

The former minister of the United
States to Siam, Mr.. Barrett, addressed
the New York Chamber of Commerce
in the far east. Mr.. Barrett had an
experience of five years in that quarter
of the world and therefore is qualified
to speak intelligently respecting Ameri-
can interests there. He declared that
this country is today the arbiter of
China's future and that this sudden
and unexpected responsibility which
has come upon the United States di-
rectly involves the preservation, protec-
ton and development of our present
considerable and future vast trade and
commerce with this most populous and
wide-reaching empire of all Asia. 1t is
not merely question, he said, of $15,-
100000 of exports in 1898, but one of
$150,0O0,0O0 within the next two dec
AIDES If we are alive to our possibilities.
The arrangement between England
and Russia in regard to Chinese terri
tory places the former, in the Judgment
of Mr.. Barrett, irrevocably in the cate
CORY Of nations that recognize spheres
of influence" or "areas of development"
which are nothing more than diplomatic
phrases and synonyms of areas of nc
tual sovereignty. Russia, Germany,
France and even Austria and Italy had
long ago indicated their position. Now
that England has joined them "Amer-
lea stands alone as the only great power
not committed to such a destructive and
divisional policy. In other words, If the
United States tomorrow, in diplomatic
note or agreement, recognize spheres of
influence, all hope for the maintenance
of the integrity of China Is gone-that
is, America at present is the arbiter of
China's future Mr.. Barrett urged
that we must either contend that this
cannot go any further, or, if it is to go
derstanding with Russia, Germany,
France and the other powers concerned,
that they will guarantee the practical
and permanent operation of the princi-
pies of the open door, without discrim-
mating duties or differential rates, in
their respective sections of control. Such
assurances can be obtained, Mr.. Barrett
thinks, If asked for before the break
ing up of China shall be accomplished,
but once that empire is divided 1--WE
may have nothing but the dead sea fruit
of diplomacy for our pains"
Mr.. Depew makes suggestion in the
same line. He says that America must
go further in the far east, that our in
terests and England's are identical.
1--WE both want open markets. America
will exercise her influence alongside
England to secure this great potential
field which is not to be closed to com
merce. The entente cordiale between the
two nations is SO firmly established now

CORNING THE WORLD.
Teaching Mankind to Partake of
Good Thing.

st. Louis Globe Democrat.
A great corn exhibit is to be made in the
Paris exposition Of 1900. 1t is proposed, in
deed, to make this one of the most interest
ing Of all the American displays at that
fair. The object, of course, Is to popularize
this great American product throughout the
world. Thus far the outside world has been
strangely shy of Indian corn. 1t has more
nutriment than rye and barley, which are
much more widely used in Europe than
corn. This propaganda has a great interest
for Americans. Practically all of the prod
uct which is raised in the world is raised OH
this side OF the Atlantic. 1t is the most
valuable of all the crops grown in the
United States.
Historically and socially, as well as eco
nomically, maize is of great interest to the
United States. 1t is one OF the three most
important products native to the American
continent, potatoes and tobacco being the
other two. The important part which corn
played in the settlement and development of
the present territory of the United States
has never been adequately set forth. In the
early days of the occupation OF the wilder
ness or the west corn was raised where no
other grain could have grown. 1t was
planted between the tree stumps in the little
clearings. 1t could be grown on soil where
and demanded very little care. The tree
stumps ordinarily stood Intil disntegrated
by the action of the elements. This process
TOOK about ten years for the ordinary soft
woods, but In some varieties OF trees twenty
years were required for the work. Until the
stumps were removed the plow could not be
moved freely over the farm, and wheat
growing could not be done to advantage.
Durlhg all or this time corn was the prin-
cipal food of the American farmer BY
being Transmitted into hogs or whisky it
was an article of food and of commerce
Whlch was OF the highest consequence to
the early Inhabitants OF the western wider
ness. One of the reasons why the French
were unable to cope with the English in the
planting of colonies on this continent was
that in the French region, Canada, corn
could not be produced in any important
quantities.
The endeavor to open new markets for
Indian corn by the exhibits at the Paris
exposition next year will undoubtedly be
successful. In fact, corn is conquering new
markets already although not to the extent
which its merits as food crop demand In
1884 the corn expectation OF the United
States was S66,O00.0OO 1t was s2s, 900 900 in
1885, SlOl 900, 900 in 1896, s17S 900 900 in 1897
and s2l2,OOO,OO0 in 1898. This gain is en-
eouraging. 1t should be kept up. There is
chance that 1t can be largely increased IL
the propaganda which has been started for
It's general introduction throughout the old
world is prosecuted inteligently and per-

position will be watched with great interest

TIE TrRMOM IN PARIS.

The popular demonstration against
been deliberately organized, was an ex-
preston of the chagrin and anger Of
the element which has opposed the
efforts to give Dreyfus a retrial, the
president Of the republic being regarded
by them as largely instrumental in
bringing about the success of those
efforts. 1t is the supporters of the army
who are responsible for the outbreak
and the circumstance emphasizes the
necessity Of a firm policy for the subor-
dnation of the military to the civil
power in France, If the republican in
stitutions there are to be preserved.
President Doubet 1t appears, con-
Quoted himself with courage and dig
nifty, while the ministry showed com
mendable determination and energy in
dealing with the situation. A number
of prominent persons identified with the
violent demonstration were arrested and
held in custody and 1t is proposed to
bring them to trial. partly with a view
to determining whether there was a
conspiracy. The course of the govern
ment was approved by an overwhelm-
ing vote in the Chamber of Deputies.
There will probably Ie no further
serious disturbance, but the circum-
stance should more strongly impress
the French people with the dangerous
influence which the army exercises and
the imperative necessity there is, in the
interest of republican institutions, for
putting a check upon this influence.
Meanwhile President Loubet does not
propose to be intimidated into resigna-
tion, as was Casimir Perier, and the
better sentiment of France will applaud
his attitude and rally to his support.

may rage and Mr. sherman imagine vain
things, but that General u. h. Henderson OF
Dubuque, Ia, will be the speaker OF the

certain as anything political can be before
the event

OF Mr.. Hopkins Of Illinois in favor of Gem
eral Henderson seems to settle the ques-
tion of the speakership. For Illinois offers
no other candidate, which has the effect of
consolidating the west upon the lowan. MIR.
sherman of New York is unable to COM
mand the support OF solid east, and, there
fore seems doomed.
St Paul Pioneer Press David b. Hen
derson represents the broad and more pro-
gressive spirit of the republicans OF the
west. And 1t Is fitting at this time, when
these new issues are confronting the party
and invite its wisest craftsmanship and its
most courageous leadership, that the chair
of the speaker should be filled by man in
full sympathy with that spirit OF western
republicanism which is now the controlling
force in the public sentiment of the ma
ton.
Minneapolis Tribune: Representative
Henderson has still better claim to rec
ognition than that OF sectionalism. He is
probably the most competent man that
could be chosen in the whole list of men,
bers OF the next house to step into the am
pie shoes OF Speaker Reed. He is man of
force and character, of high courage and
intelligence, and he has had the legislative
experience and training without which 1t
would be useless for any man to attempt TO
preside over a body like the American house
OF representatives. He will be worthy sue
cessor of the man from Maine.

UNCERTAIN LOUISE.

A face cut like a cameo,
A wealth of dark-brown hair,
Loose-blown DER brow of creamy snow
That nestles meath 1t there.
An ear that vies with sea-shell's grace,
A hand just made to squeeze,
Whose heart-line deep one loves to trace
And that's Louise.
A nose like Grecian sirens wore,
Well poised 'twiXt two dark eyes,
Whose depths hold all of Cupid's lore
Such mystery in them lies.
A voice as sweet as fairy bells
That float on summer breeze,
And echo mid the sylvan dells-
And that's Louise.
A tender mouth, whose glowing lips
Would tempt a king to kiss
And who their honeyed nectar sips,
Can know no greater bliss;
An air reserved, half frank, half shy
Most difficult to please: -
AS tickle as an April sky
And that's Louise.
Her eyes are frank, and wondrous clear;
They win you in a trice;
One moment sweet they will endear,
The next they chill like ice.
Her grace, and many charms allure,
And bring SWANS to their knees,
But none of her can be quite sure
And that's Louise.

VALUE OF MILK INSPECTION.
Most Important Means of Promoting
the Public Health.
Chicago Record.

Chicago Record.
One of the good results of the Berlin con-
gress on tuberculosis has been to awaken the
country more thoroughly to the necessity of
checking in it's fearful and almost unimpeded
progress the disease Of consumption, which,
as scientific research has developed, can be
done by the taking Of obvious precautions.
1t has been shown that among other causes
which lead to anaemic conditions Of the
blood and eventually to tuberculosis is the
milk supplied to large Cities where the
necessary safeguards against the sale of dis
eased dairy products are often found want
ing. In Chicago many reforms in the traffic
could be made with beneficial results.
The governments of most foreign countries
guard with unfailing care all products in
tended for human food and the dairy re-
ceives much consideration. The European
farmer has been taught that he can profit
only by the hygienic feeding and caring Of
COWS and such educational lessons have pro-
duced wonderful results. That it pays the
dairyman to apply the best and most scien-
tific methods is shown by the present pop
ularty of Canadian butter and cheese in
England. The expectation Of butter to Lon
don and Liverpool in 1894 was valued at
100000. Two years later. Of after this
branch OF agriculture has undergone pro-
cess Of improvement by scientific teaching,
the export of butter had reached the sum of
$1,700,000. Canada's revenue from the
cheese she sells the mother country is now
in the neighborhood of $7,0O0,000, whereas
in 1892 it amounted to less than 100000

Unquestionably both Mr. Barrett and

ANTI-PAsS LAW IN OPERATION.
Significant Eject of the Reform In
wisconsin.

wisconsin.
Chicago Chronicle.
There was a meeting OF the Wisconsin
members of congress in Milwaukee the
other day to consider the speakership ques-
ton. In the past in that state, the same in
Illinois and other states in which politics
Is always red hot, such an occasion has
called from all parts OF the commonwealth
from the capital to the frontiers-the
politicians OF every degree and rank to offer
their advice and assistance in caucus affairs.
kt this meeting the corridors OF the big
hotels in town were no more thronged than
on other ordinarily busy days; the party
leaders and laborers, the local and general
bosses" the captains and the rank and file
were conspicuous by their absence. They
could not get railroad passes. The caucus
was a lonesome political function and was
without the interest which numbers give to
party events
The attorney general OF Wisconsin has
given an opinion on the anti-pass law which
will render its operations more drastic. The
railroad commissioner OF that state desired
to attend national convention of state rail-
road commissioners at Denver and was
furnished passes on the railroads outside OF
the state leading to that city. He asked the
Wisconsin law officer If the anti-pass law
prohibited him from riding on a railroad
pass while beyond the jurisdiction of the
state. He was told that he was bound by
the terms of the law wherever he went as
long as he held a state office-that he dii
not cease to be a state officer when he was
on his travels and must obey state laws.
This ruling will tend to keep the officials OF
Wisconsin at home the most of the time.
state officer OF Wisconsin says that the
anti-pass law will cost the state about $780,
900 year, that being the expense as esti-
and employees and officers and agents OF state
Institutions travelling on official business
This statement must be taken with many
grains OF allowance, unless the officials OF
Wisconsin are much more conscientious
than those CT other states, that is IL all
charges are true. According to common re-
port, 1t is the usage OF officials having pas
ses to charge up railroad fare among other
expenses when they are travelling on public
business. The amount which they are re-
imbursed for alleged railroad fare Is their
"rakeoff." II the same usage has held in
Wisconsn-of which there is no evidence
the state will be at no greater expense in
having to pay railroad fare for officials tsan
1t was before.
But, much as 1t may cost directly II will
be money in the pocket OF the state, for
state officers, members OF the legislature
their posts OF duty and attend TO public
business instead OF being abroad half the
time on junkets and excursions OF pleasure
at the expense OF the railroads for their |
fare.
