-pROSP US,

The country is surely enjoying great
 prosperity. Everywhere, north and south east and west, business is boom- ing. The activity in the iron trade is immense, The great foundries and ma- chine shops are taxed to their utmost, with lots of orders ahead now Great
 activity in the iron industry is a sure
 index as regards business prosperity. The south, which for many years after the civil war, lay paralyzed and dor-
 mant has shaken off her lethargy and now welcomes northern capital. All
 through the southern states new manu-
 factories are being built and new bus
 mess enterprises started. Brainy men of great executive force, among whom
 was our recently deceased toWnsman, MT. Plant, have built and established big
 railroad systems in the south, immense
 aids to the development of southern in-
 sight, the corn crop in particular, so great as to more than compensate for
 the shortage in winter wheat Great also is the demand from abroad for our
 wheat and corn ensuring again good returns for the western farmers. The west, with three successive great crop years, is waxing fat and prosperity takes the place of the leanness which Bryan shouted so vociferously about as incurable unless the nation swal- lowed his silver quack medicine. The logic of events has adminis- tered to MT. Bryans theories knock down blow, but he is on his feet again, not quite as smiling as be- fore, but with the presidential bee in his bonnet buzzing as assiduously as ever, and he appears to have a fair chance of being again a candidate for the White house. Hardly had Mckinley been elected before the cry was heard, where is the promised Mckinley pros- perity? Several months elapsed neces- sarily before the nation could emerge from the slough of despond into which poor crops and the free silver humbug had plunged it. With the gold standard predominating again, a result due in part to the patriotic gold democrats, business revived, credit was restored, confidence was restored, capital no longer halting and timid took courage and with a wise tariff policy assisting, the nation, under wise republican rule has become grandly prosperous, With a continuation of republican rule and the establishment beyond a preadven- ture of the gold standard, prosperity will remain.

RAPID IRA NSTT.

Bold and brave, yea, worthy indeed
 of the impershable renown which they
 won were the hardy Norsencen and the
 intrepid Columbus and his men who
 crossed the then unknown as well as
 trackless ocean, facing unknown perils
 and dangers in crossing the mighty
 deep, and discovered portions of the
 new world. Brave indeed also were the
 Pilgrim fathers and mothers who toiled
 their little stormtossed vessels to seek
 a home here. Slow and toilsome was
 the passage across the broad Atlantic
 in those days of long ago. Now how
 changed is all this. Instead of a jour-
 ney lasting months the trip is but a
 few days excursion. When the era of
 fast ocean voyages began, the trip took
 seventeen days. This was the fast
 time made by the Sirius in 1888. The
 Great Western soon after easily beat this time, crossing from Bristol to New York in fifteen days ten hours. In 1S4O
 the Britannia, a Cunarder went from Liverpool to Boston in fourteen days eight hours, only to yield the palm to the Great Britain, of the Great Vest ern Line, whose time was twelve days twelve hours. In 1851 the Africa, of the Cunard Line, ran the record down to ten days sixteen hours fifty minutes; then the Baltic, of the Collins Line, im- proved upon those figures, her time be- ing nine days thirteen hours. In 1866 the Cunarder Scotia ran over in eight days seven hours twelve minutes, and in 1875 the Inman City of Richmond in seven days eighteen hours fifty min utes. The first ship to reduce the rec ord lower than seven days was the Cunard Silvia. But in 1884 the Oregon, Of the Guion Line, "led all the rest" with record of six days nine hours forty-two minutes. The record was not taken from the six to the five day column until 1889, when the Inman ! City of Paris made her second trip in l five days twenty-three hours seven | minutes. Since then, in 1897, the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse ran 564 knots from ! noon to noon and made the entire pass- age of which that unrivaled run was a part from New York to the English Channel in five days fifteen hours ten and in 1898 ran from South

Despite the difficulties that attend on handling the fan-spread skirt it is be- coming more plentiful. It cannot be said in explanation that women do not realize how awkward it's draperies are to lift or carry, for no woman with sense in her noddle could consider skirt like that shown here without being thoroughly forewarned. These skirts are now appearing in fall goods, Which is evidence that they are to continue etylish, and that most of the gowns into which they enter are of the short-lVed between seasons sort, shows that their wearers are moneyed eXquisites.

"The quill pens with which Goethe wrote his festival poems are now in Chicago" says a Chicago paper, "and will within day or two be on exhibi- tion. With these old fashioned uuills will be exhibited an autograph letter from Schiller, the poet. The quill pens are the property of Charles Spaeth, manager of the German Aid society of Chicago He received them from Paul J. Mauss, to whose grandfather, Dr. Robert Friedel, of Jena, they were be- queathed by Herman Schuetz, who pro- cured them from Goethe, his intimate friend in December, ISIS. So much stress was laid on their possession by the original owner, Herman Schuetz, that in 1927, when Goethe was a visitor at the Sehuetz home, in Berka, on the Iber, his host asked him to certify to the fact that the quills were used in writing the festival poems. The request was granted, and this certificate, sign ed by Goethe, Is now in the possession of MT. Spaeth, the present owner of the old fashioned quills."

AT LAFAYETTE's GRAVE.
Ex.president Harrison the Speaker Of
the Occasion.

Paris. May 30.-A large throng gather
ea this afternoon in the cemetery Of Plcpus
70 assist in the annual decoration by the
Americans of the tomb of Lafayette. The
iote, est of the occasion was enhanced by
the knowledge that ex-President Benjamin
Harrison would speak.
General Porter, the United States am
bassador, opened the ceremony with a
brief address, and Mir. Harrison followed
with an grafton that was frequently aP'
p!auded.
..The nation that cherishes the graves OF
its soldiers and assemblies to honor them'
he said, sis the nation that preserves ano
anlarqes national life. The monuments to
our dead show no trailing ranks of sad and
weary captives following their conquerers'
but display broken manacles from the
hands and feet of emancipated blacks
The result of that emancipation was seer
at Santiago, where the black troops anc
Texas troops We'd with each other to bf
the first to leap upon the enemy's breast

Mr. Harrison then referred to the "gal
,aot and glorious son of Vermont now re
turning homeward after achievements tina
will keep his name ever illustrious IN tn
annals of all nations"
"Here in the capital of our great slste
republic" he continued, "where no sol
der of American birth finds resting
place we see the sentiments Of gratitud
and veneration finding suitable expression
around the tomb of Lafayette, the crusade
of liberty, who came to our aid in tim
of stress, whose name is perhaps NOR
closely than any other connected with tn
name of Washington"

IN FAVOR OF REVISION.
Civil Section of Court of Cessation So
Reports.

Paris, May 27.-Early this afternoon 1t
was rumored that the president OF the
civil section of the Court of Cessation, Nj.
Ballot de Beaupre, had reported to the
president of the Court of Cessation, M
Nassau, in favor Of revision Of the Dreyfus
trial and sending the prisoner again before
a court-martlal.
This, later in the day, was confirmed by
a direct statnent that the president OF the
civil section had so reported to the presi-
dent of the Court of Cessation.
1t is believed the report is practically
certain to be accepted by the Court OF
Cessation, and that means that Dreyfus
will be brought back to France and re-
tried.
From the president OF the Court OF
Cessation, the Dreyfus report will pass
into the hands of the Procurer General,
NJ. Manau.
The proceedings in the case will be pub
lie, although the greater part of the court
room has been reserved for ticket-holders
The procedure will consist of the reading
of the report of NJ. Ballot De Beaupre
followed by speech by Maitre Mornard
counsel for Nine. Dreyfus, and the ad
dress of the public prosecutor, NJ. Manau
The court will then retire to deliberate
upon verdict, which it is expected vii
be rendered on Friday Or Saturday.
