NIAGARA NOW AT ITS BEST.
The Great Cataract WIN Lose In
Beauty in Five or Six Hum
dred Years.

The Niagara river belongs to our own
era of the worlds interminable history,
and to it alone. We may believe, with
some recent Investigators, that it be
gan to cut its way through the higher
table land about 6,O00 years ago, or we
may say, with others, 10000 years ago.
But even the farther end Of $4,000 years
is a geological yesterday; and if 1t Is
true that the falls viii stand well back
of the head of Goat island in 500 or GOO
years, that is very near tomorrow.
Moreover, the finest phase of Niagara s
life belongs TO the geological to-day.
II is at its very best now that Goat is
land is the central feature of the falls.
Before they reached it they must have
formed n single undivided and relative
ly narrow cataract or series Of cas-
cades; and after its upper end is left
behind there can never again be such
combination of diverse majesties and
lovelincss. Only for the half mile along
Goat islands side are there divided yet
fraternal channels filed with shining
shouting rapids. When il has been left
behind, the wide river, flowing over an
almost level bed, will approach its cliff

plunge. like q millstream over a dam

that he has always been an able and
uncompromising exponent OF partisan
politics. To all intents and purposes
he is an extremist. Should he desert
the old party to lead a new one, having
for its object the defeat Of the old one,
he would lose rapidly in both popular
ity and strength, and his following as
a bolter would be as nothing compared
with his following as a regular
party man. If the man from Maine
loses his political regularity, he will
find himself in substantially the same

MEAT PRICES HIGHER

GONE UP THREE CENTS A POUND,
BUT NO DANGER OF A FAMINE.
Meats OF all kinds have advanced in
price. However, there is no danger Of
a famine during the coming winter,
notwithstanding the advance in price
and the scarcity Of cattle.
The war depleted the country OF the
poor mans cattle" and it will be
fully two years before the number can
be again raised to the proper stan
dard Stock farming has OF late been
rather neglected, so that at the present
time there are 100000 less cattle in
the country than there were five years
ago, while the demand has increased
more than 10 per cent. The farmers
have been discouraged by low prices,
and severe weather has so frequently
caused losses among the stock as 10
rob the business of its profit.
The present advances will chiefly al
feet the wage-earner. The retailer, to
live and maintain his trade, is Obliged
TO increase the price of his cuts from
one to three cents pound. Usually
such a condition of the market is
blamed upon the freight charges. but
/ in this instance there is no advanced
rate. and it is also denied that there i.
a combination of the packing conpan
les to control the trade. With theii
immense facilities to utilize every por
tion of the slaughtered animal in vari
GUS food products such as beef teas
butterine. soups, ETC.. the packins
companies have the advantage Of thi
small dealer, who is unable to sell AM
parts but those for direct consump
tion.

ADVANCED PRICES IN STEEL.
INCREASED IN PITTSBURG BY
MANUFACTURERS - SCARCITY
SAID TO BE THE CAUSE.

Almost all lines of iron and steel
materials were advanced last week,
says the American Manufacturer and
Iron World. 1t began with the rise in
Bessemer pig iron, which had been
quoted at $2O.75 in the valleys, the
last sale being made at S2150. This
makes the maximum Pittsburg price
$22.25. Almost all lines of finished
materials were advanced about 81 per
ton, excepting structural shapes.
Steel billets sold at s37, some guam
titles having been disposed of at $36
earlier in the week. The plate situa-
tion is serious. The plate mills of the
country are being crowded more and
more, and It is said that an order for
10000 tons Of ship plates were ordered
from Glasgow by an American firm.
Light rails bring fancy prices. A
sale was made by a Pittsburg concern
at $40 per ton, while the minimum
price is f42. Track supplies we're al.
vanced one-tenth Of a cent per pound
All lines of hardware have also beer
advanced, especially builders supplies
There has been no change in the Do
sition Of the tube and pipe market.

RRYAN las MADE No DEAL

None is SO hard to please as those
who do not desire 10 be pleased, and il
is quite evident that the Republicans
are determined not to be pleased with
Mr.. Bryan. When he sits down they
complain that he is too short, and when
be stands up they object that he is too
tall Just now they are engaged in
twisting, distorting and misrepresent-
ing his speech at Des Moines, Iowa.
They profess to see in it an effort to
meet Mr.. Croker half way and to give
consent to a movement intended to
relegate the money question to the
rear. Yet this very speech contained
a declaration that the Chicago plat
form was written not for one cam
paign, but for all time-a permanent
declaration OF Democratic faith. All
talk about deal between Mr. Croker
and Mr.. Bryan. by which Mr.. Bryan is
to give up one jot or little Of his politi-
cal convictions, is so manifestly false
as to be silly. Mr.. Bryan is not that
kind Of a man. He never compromises
matter of principle. The truth
about Mr.. Croker's movement to the
support of Mr.. Bryan is simple and
easy to understand. He is a practical
politician, and knows the advantage ol
being on the winning side. He has
come to Mr.. Bryan's support because
he believes Mr.. Bryan is a winner, anC
he has come without making any terms
or seeking to make any. Naturally his
support will be welcomed by Mr. BryaI
and his friends, because Mr.. Croker, az
the head Of Tammany, is a power II
the party, and his support makes
Bryan's nomination in 1900 sure ant
certain. It is not too late for some o
the practical politicians in Delaware L
turn. as Croker has turned, and to SET
as he viii get, the advantage Of follow
ing the winner to victory.
