The Mexican extradition treaty has
expired. There are but few fugitives to

An English traveller in Spain writes
to a London newspaper that he found
no unfriendly feeling toward Ameri-
cans among the people. The returned
soldiers have given favorable accounts
of their late foes, and the writer de-
clares that Americans, for whom the
Spaniards seem to have a real liking
would be well received everywhere in
Spain. The people feel sense Of relief
because Of the end Of the war and their
release from the burdens of an unruly
colonial empire. The politicians and
newspapers Of Spain would represent
public opinion better IL there were less
iiliteracy. They would be compelled
to.

A visitor from another planet where

American election, where are the ex-

ceptance Of fairly wrought defeat, the
return to ordinary rounds of duty, a
whole nation stirred and then calm-all

story Is told in a word: the republic has
cherished the principle that the hon
estly ascertained will of the majority

In 1894. by act of Congress, Hon. Car
roll D. Wright, the able Commissioners
of the United States Bureau Of Labor,
was directed 20 investigate all Ques-
tions relating to the effect of machin-
cry upon work and labor. His report,
recently published, has attracted wide
attention, and is likely to be appealed
to as an authority. 1t had long i'cen
known that the Introduction of ma
chinery lessons the cost Of production.
and thus lowers the price Of manufac-
tured articles; but ripple Of pleased
surprise runs through the land when
the evidence Of facts and figures seems
to demonstrate that the use Of machin-
cry also increases the demand for labor
by creating new industries. and raises
the rate Of wages, while reducing the
hours Of toll and lessening much of It's
severity. The use of machinery favors
overproduction; but this evil is general
ly short-lived and self-corrective. 1t
rarely affects many lines of business at
once. There are irregularities In shop
and market from other causes; but TAX
ing long and broad view, it must be
said that the comfort and welfare Of
our modern populations have found a
powerful auxiliary in the Harvesting
of natural forces to mechanism. 1t is
true that the first effect Of labor-sav-
ing invention is hardship through dis
placement of labor. But then follows
a reAdjustment under new conditions.
1t soon appears that new occupations
are brought to light. These call for
new hands. Some necessity of life has
been cheapened by the new invention
and is better distributed, and labor has
found employment in the new condi-
ton Of industry. The Introduction and
development Of railroads Is an obvious
illustration. All the earlier methods
of transporting freight and passengers
seemed at first driven to the wall Soon
it was found that the construction,
equipment and operation Of the new
iron roads gave employment to vastly
larger armies Of workmen than the old
method of transportation. It then be-
came possible to carry ton Of coal a
mile for cent, and the surplus bread
stuffs and products of States far inland
were laid down in seaboard cities and
factory villages at nominal cost, and
the demand for teams, to redistribute
goods and to take passengers to and
from the stations, soon silenced the
complaints Of horse-breeders and
wheelwrights. In turn. the output Of
multiplied factories, whose raw mate
rial now came within easy reach, was
supplied with ready facility to the COM
fort and advantage Of pioneer popula-
tions beyond the lakes and the Missis-
sippi. The researches conducted by
Col. Wright are given in tables cover
ing nearly seven hundred articles, and
contrast the results and cost Of hand
labor and machine-work. They furnish
valuable contribution to popular edu-
cation along the line Of Industrial eco-
nomics and general progress.

This custom on the death of a dis

Men who 90 out fishing in an open boat
in the midst of binding storm and enjoy
It, must be strong and healthy and are
pretty sure to live to ripe old age. I'm
fortunately. the rush and hurry of modern
business life will not permit the average
man to take frequent outdoor exercise.
In lieu of life spent partly in the woods
and on the water, a man must tind some
kind of medicine to tone up and invigorate
him and incite the vital organs of his body
to the faithful performance of their normal
functions. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery Is the only thoroughly effective
medicine for this purpose. Its principal
action is upon the organs that feed the
blood. the stomach, the large intestines and
the liver II facilitates the flow of the di-
gestive Juices in the stomach and the
production of healthy chyle in large guam
titles in the large intestines. II invigorates
the liver and puriies and enriches the
blood. When the blood is rich and pure
the old, inert tissues throughout the body
are torn down and replaced by new and
healthy flesh tissues and nerve hbers. If a
mans blood Is filed with the rich, pure
elements Of health he can get along with
scauty amount Of exercise. Disease germs
can gain no foothold in his system.

were present, and on several special

Adams.
The result of this play ground work

instruction in many ways. The police
authorities at the close of the season
stated that the children of the down
