An amusing incident took place at
the Grand Central station few weeks
ago. A portly man with clothes Of for
eiyn cut. outlandish baggage and de-
cided German brogue bought ticket
for a western point and then bought a
sleeping berth and waited for his train
to be announced. AS soon as IL was
called he got into line. occupied much
space with all his bags ana bundles
him uncomfortable. He had no sooner
reached the platform than he dropped
his baggage and freight and pushed
his way back into the waiting room,
ran up to the police officer and said
breathlessly:
"Say, lost my birthmark."
"Your birthmark? Where was itT
"Here in my pocket in"
''In your pocket? That's nice place
To have one" said the officer, wishing
to humor a crazy man. How did 1t

can without ii not in the sleep wagon

dow. where they knew that the Ger
man meant berth check when he said
birthmark, and the matter was settled
to his satisfaction. The crowds had
gone throagh the door, and it was near
ly train time when he came bounding
back and up to the ticket window,
where. with profuse apologies he told
the clerk that he had found his birth
mark. New York Tribune.

The reported settlement of the Samoan

The reported settlemepto of the Samoan
matter and the division OF the islands
by an arrangement under which a por-
ton of the group will come under Ameri-
can sovereignty, makes more manifest
the destiny of the United States to play a
very important and prominent part in
the future of the islands of the Pacific
and the lands beyond the ocean. Pango-
Pango harbor, part OF Americas por-
ton, with a coaling and naval station,
will be of great assistance in the develop
ment of Australian and South African
trade. A handful of objectors will prove
themselves powerless to stop the onward
march of American commercial activity
and development.

Our Iron and Steel Giants.

From the Inter Ocean,
The steel rail workers in the South
Chicago mills of the Illinois steel works
will receive on January an advance of
100 per cent in their wages. This is be-
cause contracts for 100000 tons OF steel
rails at S35 ton will go into effect Jan
uary l. The men are now receiving from
$50 to $3.50 per month. Under the new
advance they will receive from 500 to
$500 per month. To our knowledge there
never have been such wages paid for
similar work. The nearest approach to
them was in 1892, when the price of steel
was 500.
Within the last year increase in wages
has been noted in nearly all the iron and
steel industries 1t was contended for a
time that the period of phenomenal
activity would be short. 1t was iutimated
by Mr.. Bryan and his associates that the
demand for labor was artificial and that
the incidental increase in wages was the
work of manufacturers who were inter
ested in exploiting the Dingley tariff law.
But despite the prophecies of these croak-
ers. conditions in the industrial world
have grown better, and wages have been
increased from time to time up to the
point of the almost incredible rise un-
der consideration.
The indications are that the present
conditions as to the labor market will
continue because of the extraordinary
demand for American iron and steel pro-
ducts. In the last few days of October
the orders for steel rails exceeded in the
aggregate 100000 tons. In all, more than
100000 tons of rails were sold in August,
September and October for 1900 de-
livery. In the month of October there
were recorded also orders for 33O23 cars
and 323 locomotives.
The United States is now the largest
producer of pig iron and steel. In 1898
we produced II, ,773,934 tons to 8,609,719
for Great Britain; 7,232, 1888 tons for Ger
many; 1854 ,427 tons for France; :, ,222, ,469
tons for Russia and Finland. In the
same year the United States produced
1892, ,S57 tons of steel, to 4,665,9S6 tons
for Great Britain; 5, 5,779570 tons for Ger
many; 1,473,000 tons for France, and L.,
145, ,75S tons for Russia and Finland
There Is not only an extraordinary in
crease in the home demand for manufac-
lures in steel, but our export trade in
iron and steel products has been growing
heavier. We sent abroad 1908 tons of
steel rails in July last, 29,567 tons in
August, 27060 tons in September. In the
three months we sent abroad also 153 To-
comotives. Our exports of manufactures
of iron and steel IN the eight months end
ing with August, 1899, amounted to $685.
OOS,O71, against S52,925,OOO in the CORE
spending months of 1898; 40,757, 800 in
the corresponding months of 1897 and
500 ,957 900 in the corresponding months
of 1896. All these articles of manufacture
have been sold at increased prices.
Statistics recently published compar-
ing industrial conditions in March, 1899
and 1895, showed gain of 40 per cent in
the number of hands employed of "a per
cent in the amount of wages paid and of
nearly IL per cent in the average wages
per capita.

Apple Storage.

Proper storage for fruit is an important
adjunct of the apple growing business. In
certain circumstances it is indispensable.
For this reason apple growers have CIV
en- considerable attention to the construc-
ton of storage houses and to learning the
best methods of keeping the fruit. From
information collected and sent out by the
horiculturist of the Vermont experiment
station it seems that apple storage house,
are becoming rather common in the princi-
pal apple growing sections of Vermont,
particularly in Grand Isle county.
These houses are built without mean, of
artificial refrigeration. They can be kfpt
cool enough from the outside atmosphere
and can usually be kept warm enough il
the walls are carefully built. A small stove
is usually kept in the storage house aud il
called into use on especially cold nights
Old barns or granaries are sometime.
converted into apple storage rooms. A
good cellar is occasionally used to an ad
vantage. Adequate protection from colo
weather and suitable ventilation are the
principal requisites.
The most important condition in storing
apples is the temperature. The storage

freezing point, 33 to 35 degrees Farh
Even degree or two below freezing vii
ordinarily do no damage. Temperatures
which will ruin potatoes and other vege
tables are entirely favorable to apples
and, conversely, temperatures which art
suitable to potatoes are to high tor apples
This last consideration explains why +.
great many folks have difficulty in keeping
apples in their cellars. The same celia
which keeps vegetables perfectly will no
give best results with apples.
This is something to which every farmer
especially ought to give attention, fol
every farm certainly ought to raise apple
enough tor the family. Even if there il
no fruit to sell, there ought to be enough
to furnish full supply throughout the win

protest against the extension OF American
sovereignty by Spanish methods.
We demand the immediate cessation ot
the war against liberty begun by Spain and
continued by us. We urge that congress
be promptly convened to announce to the
Philippines our purpose to concede to
them the independence for which they have
so long fought. and which Of right is theirs
The real firing-line is not in the suburb,
of Manila. The enemy is of our own
household. The attempt of 1861 wa, 70
divide the country. That of 1899 is to de-.
stroy its fundamental principles and noble,t
ideals. Whether the ruthless slaughter Of
the Filipinos shall end next month or next
year is but an incident in contest that
must 90 on until the Declaration OF indie
pendence and Constitution of the United
States are rescued from the hands OF their
betrayers.
We deny that the obligation of all citi-
zens to support their government in times
of grave national peril applies to the pres
emit situation. If an administration NAV
with IMMUNITY ignore the issues upon which
it was chosen deliberately, create condi-
ton of war anywhere on the face OF the
globe, debauch the civil service for spoils
to promote the adventure, organize truth
suppressing censorship, and demand of all
citizens a suspension of judgment and their
unanimous support while it chooses to con-
tinue the fighting, representative govern
ment itself is imperiled.
We purpose to contribute to the defeat
of any person or party that stands for the
forcible ,ubiugaton of any people. We
shall oppose for reelection all who in the
White House or congress betray American
liberty in pursuit OF un-America ends, and
hope that both our great political parties
will support and defend the Declaration Of
Independence in the closing campaign Of
the century.
We hold with Abraham Lincoln that nc
man is good enough to govern another mar
without that others CONSENT When the
white man governs himself that is ,elf-gov
eminent, but when he governs himself ant
also governs another man that is more than
self government, that is despotism.
Our reliance is in the love Of liberty
which God has planted in US. Our defens,
is in the spirit which prizes liberty as the
heritage Of all men in all LANDS everywhere
Those who deny freedom to others deserve
it not for themselves, and under just Coo
cannot long retain it.
