HALL CANE ON AMERICA.

The average English1nan who comes
 to America and spends a few short
 weeks in incidentally tu1ning this big
 country over in his mind rushes back
 to his island and with captious smart
 ness proceeds to divest himself of im-
 pressions which imply that he is glad to return and get the bad taste
 out of his mouth. Up to recently the
 example of Dickens was almost invar-
 iably initiated by Hitler minds which professed to find nothing here to praise It is therefore refreshing to
 read the impressions of Hall Caine, the author, who in letter to an Eng fish journal is wholly laudatory of America except for. few special criti-
 cisms. MT. Caine says, for example, Of the American newspaper:
 "Whatever the interviewer may be lit is folly for Englishmen in America to Iattempt to escape him. Apparently there is no libel law in America strong or swift enough to cope with the doings of space writers. The extraordinary vigor in the every day work of the American journalist is what first inn
 presses you. He is always on the nail. Today'S subject is today's need, and
 whether it be the fate of the Philip pines or how to sweep snow out of me streets, the journalist tackles it for all it is worth. Then the general enter prise of the American press is beyond comparison, greater than that of almost every other press in the world. Not even the London Times, Telegraph or Standard can surpass the amazing en- terprise of the best papers or America. The best and most popular of the American newspapers appear to have neither policy nor party.
 There is chance for dispute in this last assertion, for, lwaiving the matter of best" it is apparent that the news papers of America with neither policy nor party" are hopelessly in the minor ity as to number, circulation and infiu- ence. The New York Evening Post is a type of that class. It has no party and if it has a policy it is that of in- variable abuse of all who disagree with its vagaries; and it's circulation and iE- fluence are limited. Certainly in Amer ica's greatest cities the mos. prosperous and influential journals are the party organs. M:. Caine again errs in saying that there is no increase of favorable sentiment here toward England. There is an increase, and vast one though it may not go so far as to desire an Anglo-American compact. And one of the potent reasons why this era of good feeling did not sooner arrive is that English travellers in the past have so f1ippantly and consistently abused America and it's people and institutions "a custom that MT Caine has departed from widely and handsomely.

HE CALLED THE TURN.
New York Man Predicted Many No
 table Events of 1898.

A year ago the New York Journal offered $1,000 to whoever should most closely predict the events of the year 1898. The predictions were deposited in sealed boxes and were last week opened and submitted to committee This committee has awarded the prize to Mortimer Delano of 1O4 West One Hundred and Twentieth street, New York, and the following were his pre- dictions:
 In general a year of prosperity for America (United States). Election of republican governor for New York, small majority Annexation of Ha- waii as territory to the United States. Failure of Spain in Cuba, and a forced declaration of war against the United States, followed by capture and defeat of troops and navy of Spain.
 Complete freedom of Cuba. Agi.a- ton to annex it to the United States. Spain or the brink of Carlist war and agitation for republic.
 The United States decides to build the Nicaragua canal. Pope Leo XIII dead, succeeded by Cardinal Sera1no

 Germany seizing more land in China Trouble between England and France in middle Africa. Change of prime ministers in England Representative of Gladstone becomes premier. Secre- tary Sherman retires from the cabinet Queen Victoria abdicates Edward VII | king.
 Success of submerged torpedo boat in United States navy. First appear ance and use of a motor cycle. Great rush to Alaska Population 1 increased by hundreds of thousands, 7U per cent from the United States. First railroad built in Alaska Decease of Cornelius Vanderbilt at Newport. Race for the American cup won by the Amer jean yacht. Russia and the United States supreme on the Pacific. A little war between Russia and Japan
 Altogether the year is not more re- markable than previous ones. It is perhaps more eVentful than calamitous. Fewer accidents than in 1897, and more natural changes in the geographi- cal and political conditions Of govern ments.
 1lIeraCufe StMI continued Ut LOW ebb, with but one or two remarkable works as in 1897. The stage notable for but two productions meriting long runs.
 As in 1897, there is still room for very much improvement in the fiction department of the newspaper maga- zine, though this is equally true of the best periodicals.
 Altogether 1898 is notable year for the close of this century, but not an epOch-making twelvemonth. Many things are at a standstill, but the new year, as usual, is full of promise

A POLICY WORTH STUDYING.

A noteworthy difference be- tween the publicity departments of the great New York stores and those of many other cities is that the former make no relaxation in their advertising after the holi- day rush. This policy is doubt less justified by the teaching of long experience which proves that advertising is less necessary when people are buying freely than when they are not. Just ibeHore Christmas everybody shops. After Christmas, the busi- mess house which advertises the best inducements draws what buyers there are and continues to SOW seed for the future holi- day harvest by acquiring new customers with the attractions of its place. There is no better proof that the best advertising policy is one of continuous ef- forts in publicity than the con- duct of the shrelwd and experi
 enced metropolitan merchants.

It is a good time to set forth for adj
miration and instruction the results of
the Dingley tariff bill, and the Boston
Journal sets them forth. 1t notes that
since March the customs receipts have
amounted to $1O3, 900, 900, or more than 25
per cent. in excess of receipts under the
memory The daily average for the past
six months has been $700,000, or about
innate. No such result could be brought
about except by a generous increase of
ment reports shows that there has been
an important increase in importa lions
of manufactures and raw materials
that do not enter into competition with
American products. The expectation
of American manufactures has reached
proportions, while the
Of foreign manufactures
has been, on the other hand reduced,
The importation of foreign woolens, for
example, has fallen from SAG, 600 600 to
$14, 100000, and there has been a signifi-
cant decline in imported manufactures
Of ffbres, wood, iron, steel, leather and
tin plate. On the contrary, the increase
Of imports is especially noteworthy in
the case of raw silk and other fibres
crude india rubber and block tin.
There will be some difference of opin- |
ion about the part the Dingley tariff
has played in the condition of things
above set forth, but in claiming in such
matters it is usual to claim all in sight

HOW MANY VOTES FEEL
Don't Want Mr.. Mckinley Again, bu
VIII Vote for Him.

Don't Want Mr. Mckinley Again, but
VIII Vote for Him.
| 1t Is plain that a good many people
who voted for Mr. Mckinley in 1896
are not satisfied with the record which
he has made as President. They frank
ly admit this, yet when you ask them
if they repent of the course which they
took at the last Presidential election
they reply: mo, indeed; for under
similar conditions we should do the
same thing again" This may look like
paradox, but in reality their position
is quite illogical Their vote for McKin-
ley three years ago was purely ana
SIMPLY a vote against Bryan, 1t was
case of Hobsons choice with them, and
if they find themselves shut in to Ike
narrow alternative next year, they will
repeat their action. No doubt it will
be more distasteful to them than in the
first instance, for, as we intimated
above, their experience of Mr.. McKin-
ley's Presidential qualities has not
commended him to their judgment for
a second term But however reluc-
tant they may be, they will not hesi-
tate in giving practical expression to
their decided preference for Mckinley
over Bryan. AS between these two
candidates, they will take the former
every time.
In saying this it Is not so much our
own opinion that we are giving as the
views of a number of Western men
whom the writer met during a recent
trip. on one chance occasion he found
somewhat to his surprise that, out Of
nearly a dozen Chicago business men,
all of whom had voted for Mr.. McKn-
ley only one or two expressed any de-
sire for his reelection. Yet with nearly
equal unanimity they said, when direct
ly questiond on the matter, that they
expected TO vote for Mckinley again in
1900. They saw no escape from the
necessity, for the Democratic party APP
peared to be Joined to its Bryan idol
They would not help 10 raise any can
didate who believed in the freee coinage
of silver to a position where he could
do runous mischief to the business in
terests of the country. On the contrary.
they would both vote and work against
him. Here is an impressive instance
falling within the writer's observation
on which the leaders of the Democratic
party may probably ponder. If they
force the voters 10 a Hobson's choice,
the Democrats will foolishly throw
away all their political chances, and
commit something like deliberate po-
liticaI suicide.-Boston Herald.

UNJ UST IND L1MPOLITE

That is queer news which keeps COM
ing from the boundless and the bound
Ing West On Saturday we were fold
that movement, or a conspiracy was
on foot in kenosha, Wisconsin, to make
females who want to ride bicycles in
kenosha pass an examination as to
their ability to ride and then take out
license to ride. Now it is said that
in the great and wide open city of Chi
cago Commissioner McGann, Health
Commissioner Reynolds and Chief of
Police Ripley favor the idea of prohibit
ing women from riding bicycles in the
streets until they have passed an ex-
animation as to their proficiency.
The star of empire may be taking its
way westward, but the star Of justice
and the star of politeness don't seem
to be going that way. The female
bicycle riders of Kenosha and Chicago
are probably more careful and safer
riders than the male riders are, and
anyhow they are entitled to equal
rights on a wheel. 1t will be a dis
grace to Kenosha and Chicago if there
is any such discrimination against
female" bicycle riders as is proposed.
They should be encouraged rather than
checked. There is nothing prettier in
the streets than female bicycle rid
ers, nothing more graceful and nothing
legs troublesome They don't scorch
all over everything, at least not with
their wheels, and they do cheer the eyes
and the hearts of all who are not ut
terly lost to proper feeling, They do
not need licenses. If anybody should
be obliged to take out licenses it is the
men who are privileged to look at them
as they roll gracefully along in beauty
and glory.

BY and by automobiles Will do heaVy
cartfng as well as light work A series
of trials of automobile wagons for
heavy merchandise has just been held
near Liverpool. Nearly all the entries
We're British, but one firm from the
United States being represented. All
these auto trucks were propelled by
steam, and although it is very unlikely
that we on this side of the water shall
adopt the use of steam to any extent
for this kind of service, yet the trials
are evidence of a desire to find out the
best kind of horseless truck. There
were five entries in the competition, the
lightest vehicle weighing three and
quarters tons and the heaviest six
and one-half tons in working order. The
trials consisted in thirty-six-mile con-
tinuous run over ordinary country
roads, and a hill test The incline was
about five hundred feet long, one part
of 1t having grade of one foot in nine.
The wagons all succeeded in climbing
the hill, their loads varying from three
and quarters to six and one-quar-
ter tons. They We're obliged to stop
when about half way up, at the foot of
the steepest part Of the incline, and
start again and go to the top Again,
when descending the hill, they were
obliged to come to full stop with their
load, to demonstrate their controllabili-
ty and the efficacy of their brakes. Some
of the vehicles had water-tube boilers,
and all were to carry pressures between
It's and $50 pounds per square inch. The
boilers were all arranged with furnaces
for liquid fuel.

A Look Into the Gulf.

| looked on night and there Semiramis
With all her mourning doves about her head
Sat rocking on an ancient road of hell
Wlthered and eyeless, chanting to the moon
Snatches of song they sang to her of old
Upon the lighted roofs of Nineveh
And then her voice rang out with rafting
laugh
"The bugles they are crying back again
Bugles that broke the nights of Babylon,
An then went crying on through Nlneveh.
"Stand back. ye trembling messengers of i'll!
i'll!
Women, let 90 my hair; am the queen.
A whrlwnd and blaze of swords to quell
Insurgent cities. Let the iron tread
OF armies shake the earth Look, lofty
towers
Assyra goes by upon the wind,'
And so she babbles by the ancient road,
While cities turned to dust upon the earth
Rise through her whir.ng brain to live again
again
Babies all night, and when her voice is
dead
Her weary lips beat on without a sound
