Keokuls Gate City: We are not of
those who rejoice very much over the
senate committees refusal to recognize
Senator Clark's right to seat in that

There is no doubt about that. But
what is the fact? No man is elected
to Office in the United States, England
or any other country without eNpen-
diture of money for campaign pur-
poses. There is not a senator who has
not had to meet more or less outlay

A BarOnet of Maryland.

II is told Of Mr.. John Contee Fairfax,
who died on September as. at North
hampton, Md, that though he was a
baron Of the peerage of Scotland and
his rank and title we're recognized in
Great Britain, he never made use OF
them at home, and never went abroad.
1t was nothing more than good sense in
Mr.. Fairfax not to use his title in
Maryland but that he never cared to
visit England, where it was good, and
where peerages are still very much in
fashion, argues a tranquility of mind
and an entire satisfaction with republi-
can plain living which persuades the
observer that he must have been a
superior man. 1t was like having a
good pair of stills in ones garret for
whole lifetime and never caring to use
them
Mr. Fairfax was the descendant and
successor of that Lord Fairfax who was
the early friend and patron OF George
Washington. He was born seventy
years ago in Fairfax County, Va, and
in early life practIced medicine in
Washington, but for a long time he had
lived a country gentleman in Maryland.
Two of his sons live in New York, and
one OF them has inherited the family
title, which will probably continue to
be stored away in the family garret. No
doubt a British title of good quality and
in good repair makes pleasing furniture
for an American garret.

Trade IN Son1h fricn

The September number OF the
DeHAschs ExbOyt Zsifi.ag has an inter-
esting article from a commercial expert
who has just returned from South Africa
on the subject OF how manufacturers
may best capture the markets there
after the war is ended, which our own
manufacturers might study with profit.
He says:
THE South African markets will fall
to those countries which understand
best how to specialize.
Samples OF articles actually used by the
Boer farmers must be collected The
Boer is much more conservative than
the Englishman. For every broken pot,
for every torn coat, worn out ploW,
saddle, and kitchen utensil, the Boer
must have one just like 1t as nearly as
possible when he buys again. have

just like the old one.
The blacks are far more curious and
susceptible. However, this does not
mean that they will buy every new thing
which they see. On the contrary, their
tastes run in definite channels, and only
those who know these tastes will be in a
position to sell the Kaffir something

JOHN SHERMAN DEAD.

Hon. John Sherman, who for nearly
half a century has been a leading figure
IN national affairs. died at his home IN
this city last Monday morning, and was
buried at Mansfield, Ohio, on Thursday.
The passing of John Sherman removes
from the public stage about the last of
those towering figures whose public
lives, beginning with the Civil war and
covering period of the last forty years,
were interviewer with the great events
ofthat epoch. AS his illustrious brother,
William Tecumseh, shared with Grant
and Sheridan the highest place among
the military heroes OF his generation,
so, too, John Sherman stood in civic
life along with Seward, Sumner, Evarts,
Blaine, and that cOtsrie of intellectual
giants OF war and reconstruction days,
Always leader, twite member OF the
Cabinet. first as head OF the Treasury,
and then of State affairs; three times a
candidate for the Republican nomina-
tion for the Presidency, and for years
one of the great creative forces in Con.
gress, bis name was Identified with the
laws, the law making. and the political
struggles which engaged attention for
almost half a century. Few men had
more continuous public service in such
a diversity OF fields, and in all of them
his work was conspicuous.
The whole country is familiar with
the methods By which Mr.. Sherman was
forced out OF the Senate in March, 1898,
for the benefit of Mr.. Hanna. His
intimate friends know that he was not
in the least enamored of the idea Of
further Cabinet honors, and preferred
to end his career in the arena of debate
where he had won most of his honors,
He resented, as was natural, the strict
ures upon his management OF the State
Department, which were nstlgated
largely by those who had persuad, d
him to take the place and who argued
against his own doubts in the matter in
the beginning. After few months at
the head OF the State Department he
was quite willing to retire from It and
rest the memory Of his public career
upon his record before entering it.
Mr.. Sherman had not been In robust
health for more than year. In March,
1899. while on a pleasure trip to the
French and Spanish West Indies he
was attacked with pneumonia, which
almost proved fatal, When the ship
touched at Santiago it was reported Mr.,
sherman had died, THIS, however, was
soon proved to be false, and the family
accepted the Governments offer TO
bring the patient back to the United
States on the cruiser Chicago. He was
safely landed at Fort Monroe, and
thence II transferred to this city.
In private life Mr.. Sherman was known
as a Ehrewd business man, whose habits 4

THE CANrREN QUESTION

To condemn the canteen without
having seen its practical workings, saws
Harpey'S Weekhv, is an injustice OF which
40 thinking man will be guilty. In this,
as in most other matters in life, the
majority Of us must accept the opinion
Of those qualified to Judge. If we are
sick we do not go to a merchant to be
told what is the matter and to obtain
treatment. So in this canteen question
why should we accept the perhaps sin
cere but misguided opinions of those
who really know nothing about it, when
we can get the judgment Of those who
have everv means OF knowing the truth
about the matter, and who are perfectly
capable OF forming and expressing pro-
iessional or expert opinion2 No army
officer derives the least benefit from the
csnteen, except indirectly as it aids
discipline. And the majority Of our
nation are today ready to admit that the
discipline which means efficiency, the
welfare and the we'll being of the men
is the first thought OF all regular army
officers. 1t Is these very officers who
say that to abolish the canteen means TO
encourage drinking and the breaking OF
regulations, and is a direct blow at the
efficiency of the whole army-au effici.

To RAISE THE PR1cE oE BEER.

AT recent meeting OF the Brewers
Exchange, of Louisville, Ky, it was
decided to raise the price of beer from
Sc. 40 to 81 per barrel. The saloonkeepers
set up a howl when informed OF this
decision but the brewers claimed that il
could not be avoided in view of the fact
that the cost OF the products used in the
manufacture of beer has within the past
year been advanced at an average of so
per cent, The brewers said that only
two courses we're left for them to
pursue, either raise the price of beer or
reduce the wages of the workingmen.
The former was decided upon as the
best way out OF it.

self were thrown into his company by

with ladies in getting off train, he help

stated that my husband met me walking
