Production and Expansion,

In giving his views about trusts and
monopolies to the Industrial Commits
sion at Washington last week, Mr.. F. B.
Thurber of this town presented incident.
ly the case of expansion from the bust
ness side:
with consuming power OF 100000
we have a producing power of 100 O00,-
900. Our problem is to keep our labor
and capital continuously and remuner-
atively employed by preserving our
home market and reaching out for a
place to dump our surplus among the
other l,365,0O0,000, each of whom
has some wants"
Mr.. Thurber was speaking Of what he
regards as the necessity of the organiza-
ton of industry, but the necessity of ter
ritorial expansion is even more evident.
The excess of American production
over American consumption keeps in
creasing, and the Americans will be the
victims Of their own energy as agricultul
tralists and manufacturers if they can
not find new markets for their surplus
products. Fortunately the Philippines
will give the United States a distribut-
ing station for trade with the East and
means Of promoting. commerce with
China. A consuming power of 10000,
600, a producing power OF l50,0O0,OOO;
that is the problem of which the acquis-
ition of the PHILIPPINES is at least parti-
al solution.-NeW York Sun.

a gain in European products imported
into China of less than / per cent
The most significant feature of the
report is the tremendous gain in i'm
ports of American cotton, flour, oils and
railroad materials. American manu-
facturers are crowding out Dutch, Eng
fish and Japanese sheetings, while
American kerosene oil is leaving it's
Russian rival far in the background.
The fact that American flour can be
laid down at Chinese ports at a less
cost than flour ground locally from ma
tive wheat also means the ultimate dis
placement of the inferior Russian pro-
duct and the building up of a great
market that will tax the granaries of
our great West as soon as American
capital develops adequate transporta
ton facilities from the Pacific coast.

On one occasion an Earl Spencer
much against the will of the queen
presented himself for admission to the
royal christening, resolutely refusing to
forego his right.
OF the validity of his claim there was
no doubt, but as last resource the
Lord Chancellor directed that the gold
buttons on his coat should be weighed
to see if they compiled with the condi-
tons. One of them was foundlto be be-
low the prescribed weight, and this
proved to be sufficient reason for ex-
Guiding the earl from the ceremony.

PRIVILEGES OF PEERS.

Only Three May Remain Covered in
Presence OF the Sovereign.
The more ancient peerages of the
British realm have attached to them
certain curious privileges, granted to
ancestors Of the present holders by
monarchs of the past and many are the
quaint and ridiculous ceremonies the
present holders have to perform Oft
times III order to preserve the right to
| their titles
For instance, the office of royal cham
pion is held by the Dymokes Of Scri-
velsby Court near Horncastle. Will
liam the Conqueror granted Scrivelsby
to Robert De Marmion on condition that
he and his successors for all time should
ofticiate as royal champions, STIMULATING
that If at any time the owner Of the
manor failed to appear either in per-
son or by deputy, as champion al the
coronation banquet the Scrivelsby es-
tate would be forfeit to the crown.
For eight hundred years a represen-
tative from Scrivelsby Court never
failed to perform this duty, even
though In 1892 the manor passed into
the hands Of the Dymokes, who have
held it ever since.
Attired in complete armor, with lance
at rest, the champions duty consisted
in riding into Westminster Hall during
the progress Of the coronation banquet,
preceded, of course. by a herald.
Reigning up his steed by the side Of the
sovereign he then had to challenge all
corners to deny the justice of the mon
arch's claim to the throne, and offer to
fight them on the spot.
Needless to say, no one coming for
ward to accept the challenge, goblet
Of gold filled with wine, was handed to
the champion, who then drank to the
sovereign's health. This goblet was al
ways retained as q souvenir.
A peculiar right is possessed by Lord
Inchiquin, who can dress his servants
In the same liveries as the royal attend
ants, In the reign Of Henry VIII.
Lord Jnchiquln was king of the south
ern part of Ireland, and in return for
giving up HE authority the merry
monarch granted him this privilege.
1t may surprise many to know that
her majesty has such a servant as a
sandal bearer. This office is fulfilled by
the Earl of Rothes
Another curious right is possessed by
the Spencers. When royal christen-
ing is about to take place, with or with
out leave, an earl Of that name is enti-
tied to be present Mhe feels disposed to
avail himself of the privilege though
to be in order he must present himself
with his coat decorated with solid gold
buttons each Of which must be Of a
certain weight.
