Of the Berlin Ministry. VINO has done

columns he shows that the navy should

affection for this naval officer was
shown when, speaking TO a naval at

'Heeringen is my Captain Nahan"
Captain Heeringen has gone to Mu-
mich to explain to the Prince Regent OF
Bavaria, the features Of the naval plan
and its necessity. He also goes on the
same mission to Stuttgart, Carlsruhe
and Dresden. In the meanwhile the
sentiment Of the nation in favor of the
plan is steadily growing and the bulk
of the press is apparently being con-
WINGED. \ number of popular move

arranged including one for lectures in |
all the important cities under the |

have offered their services are Admiral |

communications from all sorts and Icon

THE DISAPPEARING FALLACY.

THE VARIOUS industrial combinations which
are continually being formed will have to be on the
lookout if they are to keep track of all the new
manufactures which are being built in the South
as result of the tremendous industrial prosperity
which has swept over the entire country. A
trust which complacenty reflects upon the pleas
ing fact, to-day that it has controlling interest
in any particular industry will be likely to wake up
tomorrow to find itself hopelessy in the minority
because of the many new and independent indus
tries which have sprung UP under the encouraging
influence of Our present industrial policy Men of
money are evidently taking more stock in Henry
Wattersons advice to "build new mills" than they
take in his fallacious arguments in favor of the
policy of Free-trade. which would soon make new
mills swell as old ones just so much waste prop
erty. ssr|R9 @.
Naturally goodly number of the new mills are
being built in the hitherto undeveloped South It
will not be many years before the South will be a
manufacturing as well as an agricultural section
Then goodby to Free-Trade as the policy of the
South. The passing of that fallacy as Southern
policy has already been foreshadowed in numerous
expressions of opinion which have appeared in
Southern papers, references to some of which have
been previously made in the Economist. The day
is fast approaching when the Southern States will
be as enthusiastic in their support of Protective
Tariff as is Pennsylvania or Massachusetts,

Mr.. BRYAN, ADVERTISING AGENT.

THERE are signs that Mr.. William Jennings
Bryan has decided to combine business with pleas
ure-in other words, that in addition to his daily
diversions at trustsmashing he is willing to act
travelling agent for few desirable frms-for con-
sideration. For example: Col. Moses Whetmore,
of ST. Louis, tobacco manufacturer, who not long
ago was "obliged" to sell his establishment to a
trust for considerably more money than he expected
to get for it, is in business again, and announces
that he will spend his cash as we'll as his time to
drive the trusts into innocuous desuetude. He de-
nounces monopoly shouts for Bryan and sells plug
tobacco by turns, Naturally this combination is
very pleasing to Mr.. Bryan, who, in addressing a
meeting in one of the Missouri towns few days
ago, testified his appreciation as follows
My friend Col. Wetmore, of ST. Louis, is fight
ing death struggle with that great monopoly
the tobacco trust Will you stand by him?
(Voices: "We will; we will.") Then chew his
tobacco. And remember, fellow citizens, that
every time you take chew of Col. Wetmore's
tobacco you are chewing up one of the most in
solent and aggressive corporations in the
world the tobacco trust. loud and continued
cheering)
Mr.. Bryan's hearty recommendation of the Wet
more plug offers timely suggestion. Why not
enter into contract with the makers of various
articles of daily to exploit their products as
sort of interlude in his political speeches? Imagine
the enthusiasm that the Nebraska orator might ex-
cite by pausing in the midst of terrific assault up
on the money Power" to make an observation
something like this:
My friend, Major Whacker, is fighting death
struggle with that great monopoly, the axle
grease trust. Will you stand by him? Yes?
Then use Whacker's axle grease, and remem-
Der, fellow citizens, that every time you ap-
ply Whackers axle grease you are lubricating
the way to smash tor one of the most insoent
corporations in the world.
Just consider how the demand for that particular
brand of anti-monolopy axle greese would boom as
result OF such advertising! And suppose that Mr.
Bryan, after an impassioned excoriation of "imper
ialism," were suddenly to stop and announce:
My friend Gen. Boiler is fighting a death
struggle with that great monopoly the soap
trust. Will you stand by him? Yes? Then
use Boilers soft soap and remember, fellow
citizens, that every1time you use Boilers soap
you are washing away the foundations of one
of the most insolent corporations in the world.
These are but hints of the possibilities that lie
ahead of Mr.. Bryan in his dual campaign as pol
itical stump speaker and advertising agent
There is more money in it than there is in Populist
oratory alone. And, besides that, it would enable
him to repay many little acts of courtesy which he
has enjoyed at the hands of the various gentlemen
who have Joined hands with him to make times
better by paralyzing business enterprise. New

DEATH OF DR.. M. L. BROOKS.

Mrs. @. F. West was in Cleveland
last week assisting in the care Of her
aged brother, DIR. M. L. Brooks He
had been in failing health for some
time. Death came to his relief Satur.
day at 10 p. m. He was 81 years old
and been a resident of Cleveland for 55
years and a practicing physician for
nearly half century. He relinguish-
ed his practice when he reached the
age Of 80. Mondays Plain Dealer un-
der the head of "a Beloved Physician"
said of him:
"Full of years and rich in the garner
ed friendships Of half-century's busy
life, DR.. Martin L. Brooks has passed
from an earth that he did much to
make pleasant for poor humanity. He
was an honor and an ornament to the
noblest of professions, and in that
branch Of the service which he made
peculiarly his own, that Of family ply
sician, he endeared himself to grateful
thousands. His smile was light in
the sickroom. and his cheering words
have brought hope to countless de-
spairing souls.
He early aged in appearance, and
many Of our older citizens well
remember that he bore venerable air
for a quarter of a century or
more. But though time left its
impress freely on the outer crust of
the man it never touched his heart.
There was sadness in many homes
when the news Of his death was read,
for no man beyond the border Of the
hearthstone is quite so dear as he who
has lightened the pain, or mayhap,
shared the sorrows, of the family circle.
And it is as such friend and comfort
er that the dear old Doctors memory
will be best revered and longest cher
ished."
