British government had not signified its
formal acceptance up to noon, although
in the absence Of Lord Salisbury, the
acting officials of the foreign Office take
such favorable view that British ac-
ceptance is considered assured. The
British Characteristic of mature delib-
Grafton is asserting itself. however. and
tor this reason it is thought that final
acceptance may be deferred for some
days.
No Need Of Hurry.
1t was remarked in high diplomatic
quarter that there was no need Of hurry
in the matter, now that the three gov

quired for the selection of the men, the
issuance of their instructions, the con-
ferences and study given to the question
and the long journeys to Samoa.
The American government made no
explanations to Germany regarding any
feature of the Samoan affair. save to
set forth the American position. This
government has not thought its action
required any explanation further than
to express regret that there had been a
collision at Samoa. At the same time
the opinion is expressed that there
would have been no hostile action had

But whether its general reputation for
wisdom, or political sagacity, has ma
terially improved is another question.
The great majority of the plain people
of this country, the square-headed
business men, the workingmen who
look ahead and get there, are soundly
convinced of the futility Of the free
silver project. They will never sup.
port any ticket in the interest of that
scheme, and they are beginning to
doubt the prudence of intrusting all
the great interests of the national gov
ernment to any party whose majority
Is hopelessly attached to such q barren
ideal.
Free silver is still q live issue in some
quarters, but if it persists until the
presidential election of 1900 there Is
not doubt that the party which es-
pouses the utterly foolish doctrine will
be hopeleesly defeated. For our own
part. we believe the republican party
should bend it's efforts to make the
gold standard the permau emit and fully
recognized standard for the currency
system of the nation, and that the
party should exert itself In every pos
slble way to secure the very necessary
financial legislation that will fulfil the
popular demands and head off the alb
surd cry for free silver. There Is no
doubt that changes are needed in our
financial system, but change is not
necessarily ruin.

He Conquered the Desert

Many newspapers have lately quoted
from the London Times it's narrative
of the life of James Tyson, the richest
man in Australia, who lately died and
left fortune of $4,000, 900. That IL
not very much for an American, but
in Australis 1t is considered to
be positive afluence. Tyson
was an Australian by birth, who
began life in poverty, and made all his
money in buying and selling cattle and
sheep. In that he began and in that
he ended, devoting himself to it to the
absolute exclusion of all other concerns
and interests. He knew nothing
about spending money, and was as in
different to the luxuries of life as our
cheap ready.m.ds clothes, lived
remained unmarried. But accord
ing to his lights he had fun. His fun
was the cattle business, and what he
called lighting the desert. His
money did not seem to interest him.
Once he said, 1.-THE money is nothing;
it is the little game that was the fun"
And being asked what the little game
was, he answered.:
"FightinR the desert. That has
been my work. I have been fighting
the desert all my life. and have
won! 1 have put water where was no
water, and beef where was NO beef. I
have put fences where there were no
fences, and roads where there were no
roads. Nothing can undo what have
done, and millions will be happier for
it after am long dead and forgotten"
Tyson seems to have been the mo-
dern millionaire reduced to his SIM
plest terms. The chief end of million
aires, after they get the few millions
which they require to make them COM
Portable, is to bestow their surplus in
such q manner that it will grow. It
seems hard to do that successfully with
out incidentally promoting the comfort
and we'll being of ones fellows. The
.'little game" is q good game; 80 good,
indeed, that the players are al
ways In some danger of getting over
interested in it and forming too many
of the combinations called trusts"
It may be necessary presently to put q
limit to it. How would it do TO pro.
claim that when q man has played it
till he has won five hundred millions
he shall keep five per cent. of his win
nings, and the rest shall be put back
into the general pool and the cards
reshufded?- E. s. Martin, in Harper's

THE years1898, the first full year
under q republican administration
since the disastrous depression In
under the administration of the demo-
cratic president Grover Cleveland, was
an unusual one in commercial affairs.
It will be remembered by every one
that the years 1895 and 1895 were years
when business of every sort was sink
ing lower and lower, when money was
being Withdrawn as fast as practicable
from every industry to save it If pos
sible from the inevitable vortex, and
when banks and corporations of every
sort were forced to the wall and COM
PEELED to liquidate at an enormous
sacrifice. It was not more than q few
weeks after the republican president
white house before business men
began to gain confidence, the
awful rush down grade was
stopped, and the country turned
sharp around.and started once more
upon q career of marvellous business
activity. In no other way can the
great change in the business situation
be shown SO we'll as by review of the
failures and. defaulted liabilities during
the last year, to be compared with
the record of the proceed
ing years. Dun's Review prints the
following record, which is indeed are
markable one not to be explained on
nfh he ~
public confidence and strengthening of
public credits on account of the as
suraace that was given when Mckinley
was elected that stability and honesty
would once more be the watch words
of the government. Says Dun's:
Failures in the exact year 1898 were
IL, 266, with liabilities amounting to
S146, O57 1893. The decrease in all lines
compared with 1897 Is 1873 per cent, and
compared with 1896 it is 46.1 per cent.
So great q change in the amount of
defau!ted liabilities has very rarely oc-
CURED. The decrease in number of
banking failures compared with last
year is 53.2 per cent, and in amount of
banking liabilities 34.7 per cent. The
commercial failures we're IL, 1876 in
number, not quite per cent less than
last year, while the amount of default
ed commercial liabilities was $3.50, 062,-
ee9, decrease os 1873 per cent COM
pared with last year, and compared
with 1925. 096. 1874 in 1896, a decrease of
1922 per cent. The aggregate was
smaller in 1892, and yet not smaller in
proportion to the volume of solvent
business transacted and the average of
liabilities per failure, only S1O,772, is
not only smaller than in 1892, but in
any other year of which full records
exist, running back thirty years.

August and September are the best

Never remain longer than half an hour
In the water. however well bathing may
suit you.
II bathing Is found to be invigorating.

Boys and girls should be enrly taught
to swim. This exercise expands the chest

After the bath pleasing glow over

whore was w..hinxtoa Weadea

although one OF the most interesting
events in Washington's private life, his
wedding has been comparatively neglect
ed by the majority Of his biogra phers, -
writes William Perrinc In The Ladies'
Home journal. "It Is generally agreed
that the cessmony took place ON the 9Th
Of January Tor the 18th OF January, new
stylc). 1859. But MS TO whether it was
performed in st. Peters church. IN New
Kent county. or at the home of the bride.
known as the White House, there IL a
wide variance Of opinion.
''The weight of local authority is
against the belief that 1t occurred In the
church. Nor is there any record In the
church indicating that the couple were
married there. although its rector, Rev.
Mr.. Mossom, who had been In the pulpit
for 40 years. soleninized the contract. On
the other hand. those who insist that the
clergyman otficiated in the church point
to accounts that Washington rode on
horseback on the day Of the wedding and
that the pair were attended by u bridal
cnvulcnAe ms evidence that there was n
Journey between the church and the home
of the bride. This. however, Is offset by
the conjecture that the cavalcnde was es-
corting the couple Immediately after their
marriage to Mrs. Custis' house in the
town Of Williamsburg. or to Mount Yer
