! We arrived at Manila on
Tuesday afternoon, just 50 days out from
Frisco and after putting ashore the three

Before leaving the ship your letter of Aug.

After leaving the latter place we next made

pan, a distance of about 900 miles, and the
scenery was such as to pay up for manv
months of hardshlps. Mountains on both
sides of the channel and all farmed, with hun.
dreds of Japanese villages within speaking
distance of the ship, presented fine sight,
one claimed to be unequalled anywhere in
the world. Passed by the sunken Morgan

on liberty in the latter place ran across one
of the Columbia's marines who is now serv-
ing in some Montana regiment. Also know

Our officers considered 1t best to give the
men chance to stretch their old legs and
we got all the liberty we wanted in Japan.
Ispent one day and one halfin Yokohama
and 2 days in Nagasaki, and at fret every
thing seemed very strange. The latter place
was the more Interesting as very few customs

Where Franklin Failed.

A recent critic, writing of some ones
''new version of the book Of job" says
that we have Matthew Arnold's author
ity for the great difficulty of improv-
ing on that masterpiece of literature.
Mr.. Arnold reminded the world that
no less sensible a'person than Benjamin
Franklin once attempted revision Of
Job. The old version, Franklin said,
had become obsolete, and therefore less
agreeable 81 give" he said, "a few
verses, which may serve as a sample Of
the kind of version 1 would recon-
mend"
We all remember famous verse in
the accepted version:
"Then Satan answered the Lord, and
said, Doth Job fear God for nought?"
Franklin made this read, in his more
agreeable version:
''Does your majesty imagine that
Jobs good conduct is the effect of mere
personal attachment and affection?'
AS an observation on it Mr.. Arnold
added: II well remember how, when I
first read that, drew a deep breath Of
relief and said to myself, After all,
there is a stretch of humanity beyond
Franklin's victorious good sense"

Creates New Wants.


A few of the followers of Golden
have begun to perceive that system
which has the effect of diversifying the
industries of nation may prove more
beneficial to the world generally than
the one their apostle advocated of con-
verting one country into the workshop
Of the world, and RELOCATING all other
countries to the position of producers
Of food stuffs and raw materials for
manufactures. Recently a writer in a
leading English review declared fatty
that Russia's resort to protection had
actually benefited Great Britain, and
he buttressed his argument with sta
tistics which clearly showed that the
diversification of industry was Great
ing new wants which would never have
been felt by the Russians if they had
persisted in remaining strictly agri
cultural people. By and by this import
ant result of the protective policy will
be perceived by all kinds of economists,
and then it will be admitted that the
best system is that which encourages
peoples to try their hands at all kinds
of industry, and not remain content to
accept the position of inferiority to
which the nations with established
manufactures would cheerfully assign
all would-be rivals.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

Has Proved It's Value.

The advocates of free trade should
take a hint from an incident in the
House of Commons the other day. Mr.
Douglass Coghill, a conservative, saio
that the present United States Dingley
tariff was working serious injury to
British manufacturers, and asked il
the government would not enter into
negotiations with the United States for
a tariff that would be more favorable
to Great Britain. The milk In this CO.
coanut is that the Dingley tariff pro-
tects American industries against Brit
ish competition so that better wages
can be paid American Workmen and
even then our exports abroad have in
creased largely during the past two
years. The Dingley tariff has proved
it's value in more ways than one

No Better Man.

All of the Republicans in Ohio, in
Guiding the President of the United
States, will rejoice over the nomina-
ton of George X. Nash. A better man
than is Mr. Nash could not have been
found, and the Leader says this with
great sincerity and with happy willing
ness. No man in all the world can
truthfully say anything to the detri-
ment of the Republican candidate for
Governor. George X. Nash as citizen,
as a lawyer, and as an office-holder,
has lived an open and righteous life
and has done his duty in all things and
at all times. He is an honest man, a
good man in every way, and all who
know him will so declare. His heart
is kind and pure and his confidence in
mankind comes from his own integrity
and splendid personal character

Some Truths at Louisville.


The speeches of Bryan, Altgeld, Will
Jams and o. P. Belmont at Louisville
afford little material for comment. The
speakers themselves felt this, and I'M
Willingly they admitted some damag-
ing truths. Mr.. Bryan, for example,
made this lapse:
''The gold standard is so simple that
every one of us can understand it and
its effects"
This is perfectly true. 1t is the free
silver proposition that is understood
least by those who shout for it most
loudly But the number of shouters is
rapidly diminishing. Mr.. Williams
tried to explain away the melancholy
fact as follows:
''It is true that the bimetallic ques-
ton has been largely argued on. Little
that is new can be said. Some Of our
friends have tired of the discussion not
because their belief is weaker, but be-
cause they deem the merits establish
ed, and that the opposition does not in
tend to be fair. Perhaps for this rea-
son it may be that the issue will not be
as prominent in the coming Presiden-
tial campaign as in the last"
But convinced men do not tire Of
truth. If the silverites are weary and
listless, it is because they have lost
and know it. Few can be induced to
treat silver as live issue, and the ora
tors will have to cast about for new raj
lying cries. Mr.. Williams uttered an
important truth, however, when he
said:
1--WE are now approaching the first
campaign in which any party has ven
tured it's fate upon the support of gold
recommendation. We shall enter upon
the next campaign with no evasion or
duplicity Every man who votes the
Democratic ticket in 1900 will vote for
the free coinage Of silver
And the people will vote for the gold
standard without ifs and butts. They
have learned something since 1896. The
facts have argued better than scholars
can. The facts have destroyed silver
and established the gold standard. The
voters will accept a condition, not a
theory.-Chicago Post.

who witnessed her meeting with her lover,
so modest, yet so joyous, and who saw the
grace of manner and pride Of bearing with

Straight through the orchard and the

who he had expected would come out to

house. Candles had been lighted within.
For the first time, an odd little smile of
amusement curved his lips, and a new

the high-spirited lady of his love who
would be sought to the very last.
He stepped boldly out from the shade
Of the old elm tree under which he had

to the door. Arrived there, he knocked

Facts as to Tin Plate Prices.

1t is worth noting that the price Of
tin plate, with the increase Of II per
cent. in wages, is still $1.1O per box less
than it was when we relied on foreign
supply for all our tin plate under free
importation. What has really been &C.
complished is this: The tin plate in
dustry has been transferred to this
country; whatever profits there are
now go to American investors, the
wages expended in that industry are
distributed to American laborers, and
these have been increased since the
trust was organized II per cent; the
producers are undoubtedly making a
good profit, and still the product is sold
to American consumers at $1.1O a box,
or % per cent, less than before the
tariff was adopted and the trust or
ganized.-Gunton's Magazine.
