man when the opportunity offered.
About 1890 a delicious lunch was
spread and 'that cake" in company
with huge dishes of rich ice cream
walked off the table in an amazingly
short time. It was thought one of the
heartiest eaters was going to have a
chill but he, upon being told that a
doctor was present and that his calls
were *3 each, quickly recovered and or
dered third dish of cream.
AS the hands of the clock neared the
midnight hour the guests took their de-

was not mads in vain.

INCREASING WAGES.

A wave Of general prosperity has GER
tainly reached this continent, and from
every section comes the report of a
marked increase in wages. In every
quarter are wages being restored to a
living rate, and the laboring classes are
enjoying an era Of prosperity not known
under Grover Cleveland's or that of any
other Democratic administration. The
Republican doctrine Of "Protection to
American Labor and Industries" has
proven itself all that has been claimed
for it, and under Republican govern
ment alone will our nation be prosper
Gus.
This mornings Anaconda Standard
contains at least ten accounts where
wages have been advanced and the
daily publications OF the east are con-
tinually citing cases where the income of
the wage-earner has been advanced.
An increase in wages OF 10 per cent is
announced by the Pennsylvania Bolt g.
Nut Works, of Lebanon, Pa, TO take g..
feet April l. The Lebanon Rolling
Mills and Sweed's furnace, at Norris
town, Pa, have both advanced the
wages of their employees 10 per cent.
The managers Of the Amoskeag corpor-
alton, of Man chester, N. H., voted yes
terday to advance the wages Of their
10000 employees over 10 per cent. The
American Tlnplate company, Of Chicago,
has also given notice Of an increase in
wages in all it plants of from to 10 per
cent. day. Fully 10000 men are af-
fected by this advance. Another report
OF raise in wages comes from the
Blackstone valley in Rhode Island.
Every cotton mill from Woonsocket to
Providence will advance the wages of
its employees 10 per cent, beneftting
over 10000 men. The Pacific mills
Of Lawrence, Mass, voluntarily restored
the wage schedule of it's 5000 employees
to that of former years. The American
Tinplate company of Martins Ferry,
Ohio, has also notified its employees
of the various plants Of a voluntary in
crease in wages of from to 10 per cent.
Over 1000 men are effected by the adj
vance.
This is simply an illustration of what
is transpiring throughout the country,
and the announcements of better wages
being paid to laboring men can be read
IN the newspapers every day. The con-
dltions prevailing during the Cleveland
period have been completely reversed,
and instead of Coxey's armies marching
to Washington to demand food from the
nations executive, the thousands Of
idle men are now employed and are
earning good wages. Who ever hears
of public soup houses these days? Not
only are the people sufficiently supplied
with food, but they are earning gooc
wag and are not even compelled to re
sort to strikes to receive what is justly
their due.

tain that President Mckinley himself
does not share in this belief. There is
perhaps, some excuse for this assur-
ance when 1t is recalled that in 1896,
when the italian and Hungarian coke
workers of Pennsylvania called on Mr..
Mckinley at his home on North Market
street, they gave three cheers for
BILLY McKin, the next United States"
What was then looked upon as a joke
unwittingly perpetrated by lot of ig-
norant laborers VINO had been imported
to take the place of intelligent Ameri-
can labor, has in the light of more re-
cent events become a belief by the
more partisan adherents of the pres
ident, and his imperial policy. When
ex-President Harrison assured the
French people that the attitude of the
United States 'is limited outside their
own boundaries to the safeguarding
of liberty" he no doubt meant that,
that is whatwe set out to do and are do
ing in Cuba. But is that what we have
done and are doing in the Philippines? /?
Mr.. Harrison admonishes the French
not to become disturbed over the ac-
tions of our politicians and party lead
ers. This remark from the ex-presi-
dent probably has reference to Mr.. Nc
Kinley, the chief of the politicians now
engaged in a "War of conquest" The
ex-president further says that Ideas
on colonization have been attributed to
us that are not ours" and declares that
America wishes to grow by the expan-
sion of her commerce, by exporting her
products and not by force of arms" In
Cuba, he affirmed, America would have
welcomed no arrangement which would
have assured the island a liberal and
just government under the control of
Spain. For our true position, repeat,
is to guarantee the liberties of people,
but not to dictate heir laws"
1--WE have been forced there, as in the
Philippines, to assume great respon-
But we will not fail to dis
charge them, you can rest certain, as
soon as the course Of events will per-
nit"
Contrast this declaration with the
proclamation of Mr.. Mckinley and his
question, "Who will haul
down that flag"

A AMERICAN GOODS NEEDED
MEXICO.

Mexico is enjoying an era of great
commercial prosperity. Foreign capi-
tai in large sums is seking investment
in manufacturing industries and min
ing enterprises in different parts of
the country, and the effect of this in
| fux of money is to cause beterment
in all lines of business. In some parts
of the country there is much complaint
of a scarcity of labor.
Exports are largely increasing. AS
was shownin the Commercial yesterday
the increase in receipts at the six prin-
cipal consular districts of Mexico over
the last fiscal year amounted to S1,917.-
60 in United States money.
Anonio Leon Grajeda, chancellor of
he Mexican consulate general in this
city and acting consul-general, said
yesterday:
Mexico was never in a better posi-
tion than she is today. Trade and COM
merce are thriving and active. Not only
is our internal commerce in good shape,
but our import and export trade is
growing. According to statistics pre-
pared by my government the imports
into Mexico from the United States
during the first six months Of the fiscal
year 189S-'99, amounted to $10,764, 767.
The exports from Mexico to the United
States during the same period amount
ed to $5O,764,767, which is about five
times as much as our imports from this
country amount to.
American merchants and manufac-
turers have alarge and rich field in
Mexico, and they are beginning to real
ize it. The vast natural resources of
our country are being rapidly develop
ed, and many things which your people
can supply are needed in the process.
Our principal imports from this coun-
try just now are machinery and all
kinds of steel and iron manufactures.
Lately there has been a large in
crease in he importation of electric
plants for lighting and power purposes.
Along with these have come all sorts of
general supplies.
Another fact that is interesting
concerns the old horse cars that are
exported from this country to Mexico.
believe you call them 'bob-tailed' cars.
Mexico is just beginning to develop and
enlarge her various street railway sys-
TENS, and necessarily we must begin
with an inexpensive equipment. The
street railway owners can buy these
discarded horse cars very cheap in this
country. Old American street cars are
to be found in various cities all over
Mexico. We also import sewing ma
chimes and typewriters from you. The
latter convenience is in use in all of the
larger banks and business houses.
"Of course, all Of our exports to this
country are in the form of raw materi-
ais, such as tobacco, hemp, sisal and
many oher things"

GUN WITH OUR GOSPEL.

Rev. Sam Jones, the famous evangel-
ist, is opposed to Mr.. McKinley's ex-
pansion policy. He believes that in
spite of the progress of the nineteenth
century, the world has not moved
enough to disprove the advice given by
Washington in his farewell address.
"Those principles" he says, "were
eternal, and no fight of time could rem
der them valueless or inapplicable to
the needs Of the republic"
ITO tell the truth" says Mr.. Jones,
II think we have more crops planted
than we can care for. If we are no bet
ter guards of the Philippines than we
have been Of the Indians, the Cinnamon
and the negroes,I fear for the results of
our so-called philanthropy. If French
men who came to our relief in the war
the revolution, had assumed the same
attitude we have taken toward Cuba
and the Philippines, we could have been
fighting that country yet.

Latterly we have been using the gun
and the bible as our implements of con-
version and civilization. We Proestants

Therefore, we argue, we put the heather

is kind of us to give him Bible after
we kill him.
"I am not Deliver in annexation by

ic, but it is not just. The poor barba-
rians may be wrong in misinterpreting
our efforts to give them the benefits Of
civilization, but believe they are just
flied in thinking that nation which
cannot take care of its own inferior
races need not bid for any more con-
tracts until it has shown that it knows
how to fulfill them. The advantages of
commerce are more than Offset by the
difficulty of holding those poor savages
until we can drive a bargain with
Them"

TRUE AMERICANIsM.

Ex-President Harrison in an inter-
view in Paris, assures the French peo-
pie that the United States have no
desire for war or conquest" He says:
Their attitude is limited outside their

liberty" The ex-president is right
when he states that "the United States
have no desire for war or conquest"
But some people will not understand
Mr.. Harrison, because they cannot dis
tinguish between Mr.. Mckinley and the
United States. In fact, there are a
great number of otherwise good citi-
zens who have deluded themselves into
the notion that Mr.. Mckinley is the
United States. And It is not dead cer-

REVOLT AGAINST HANNA BOssIsM

Hon. John L. Locke, of Madison
county, for a quarter of century one Of
the leaders of the Republican party in
Ohio, has come out on the side of the
people and against Hanna bossism, i'm
perialism, militarism and the trusts.
The brutality of Hanna and his lieuten-
ant, Dick, drove Captain Locke into the
Democratic ranks. as 1t is this that is
driving thousands of the very best
element out of the Republican party
in Ohio. BY making a platform with
the cruel, brutal methods Of Hanna as
one of the leading issues, Mr.. Locke
consented to accept the nomination from
the Democrats of his county for Repre-
sentative. In accepting the nomina-
tion Mr.. Locke said:

SHELL BAND STAND
A Feature of the Park at Wheel

Band Played.

Aother evidence of the reputation
of the Grand Army band was the enor-
nous crowd attending their Valley rail-
way excursion to Wheeling, w. Va,
Sunday. The supply of tickets was ex-
hausted and many Of those who had
seats in the cars and accordingly had
their money refunded.
The $50 excursionists, filling seven
coaches, arrived at Wheeling at II a..
m. An ideal day smiled upon the
pleasure seekers and the crowd at
Wheeling park to listen to the famous
band was the largest of the season.
The concert lasted from 2:30 to 500
p. m. and the band was given a rousing
reception by their Wheeling admirers.
A special attraction for the musicians
was the magnificent band stand, which
on account Of it's shape, is called a shell
band stand, and is desirable on account
of its remarkable acoustic properties.

Mr.. Elihu Root, the new secretary of
war, announces that the war against
the Filipinos will be prosecuted vigor-
ously with $4,000 men, after the rainy
season ends, October l. Heretofore the
rainy season in the Philippines did not
end until December 1. BY what process
Mr. Root proposes to lap two months
off of the rainy season is perhaps a
secret known only to himself-and may
be the president. But it will be prob
ably as easy for Mr.. Root to cut down
the rainy season as it will be to prose-
cute war vigorously.

The Union Reform party met in con-
vention in the assembly room Of the

room. There was whispered conver-
sation and Cooks name was with
