A new use has been discovered for
some of the yachts, tugs, and other
small craft added to the navy as auxil-

AMERICA SETS THE PACE.

(kanSaS City Sldr.)
The ability of the manufacturers of
this country to supply steel for Indian
railways, for English government
bridges in the Soudan and ever locomo-
tives and steel rails to the home rail-
way companies of England indicates
that a great revolution in trade has
taken place, the consequences of which
no man can foresee. The decline of
English manufactures under the ag-
gressive competition of Americans
seems imminent unless something &C.
ours to give a sudden and decided slim
illus to English enterprise. The Eng
fish will have to adopt many American
methods of manufacture and trade to
hold their own in the contest. They rec
ognize this, and are carefully studying
American ways.

FUTURE OF MUNICIPALITIES.

The feature of American civilization
in the next century seems likely to be
the growth and application of the nom
partisan idea in municipal government.
The realization of that idea will NEAR
not only emancipation from the calling
and degrading thraldom Of Ignorance
and prejudice, but a municipal life that
will be in every way healthier, happier,
more comfortable, more beautiful and
more effective. 1t will represent the
triumph of common sense over the
evils and follies of p~artisanship. In
volved in it as a stimulant, as well as
a result, is the civic pride to which we
have already alluded. We shall be
proud then of u cities, as we have
heretofore been of our states-proud Of
their order, their beauty, their system,
their management-that they are DEM
ocratic in truth as well as in name, and
are administered for the happiness and
welfare of the people, not for that of
bosses or politicians Of high or low de-
gree.

O0NGhESs TO BE CALLED

Washington. May i0.-The revival Of

reasons chiefly control the president in
this matter He wishes the policy Of
the government with respect TO the Phil.
ippines defined and the currency ques-
ton disposed Of before the party enters
the campaign Of 1900.
The president has declared his belief

li'hed In the Philippines within the next
30 days, and that the ownership and
Possession Of those islands will no longer

The president j. unwilling 10 do sny.
thing that will lessen the present album

in the coming campaign lie feels that
looking like delay and indecision will
have bad effect For this reason he
wants the whole country 10 know he
fore 1900 exactly what the policy Of the
government will be with respect to pos
sessions IN the far east
Another powerful controlling motive
that Il actuaiing the president. Is his
strong desire to have an early and posi-.

SAMOAN LIFE.
When Not mt War They Have . Very
Easy and Agreeable
Time.

When native Samoans are not at war
they seem to foreigners to have very
easy and agreeable life, There is never
very much to do, and what there is is
not arduous or firing. The old women,
for instance, braid mats or sit upon
the rocks and beat and strip the bark
for making tapa, the native cloth. The
men spend much of their time in max
ing fishing nets and tackle.
In spite of the simplicity Of the ma
tional attire, the Samoans are rather
vain, and spend good deal Of time in
identifying themselves. The hair is
often plastered with white line, giving
it, when dry, the effect OF white wig.
The lime is washed off by night. The
result is gradual change in the color
of the hair from a red to bright yell
cow. Apart from this strange fancy,
the Samoans quite share the Euro
peans' ideas in regard to beauty. They
particularly admire tall persons.
A fad of the young man of Samoa is
to wear the name Of his sweetheart
tattooed upon the forearm. As the
Samoan wears no sleeves this ornament
is always visible, and he is very proud
of it, which is easily understood, as the
young lady herself always does the
tattooing, it being impossible to in
trust to professional workman a task
so full of sentiment.
