cotton goods. With South America at
our very doors, with Republican institu-
tions, and with letters of credit upon the

What is the matter with these repub-
lican brats? Why should we pay tribute
to their raw materials in order to sell for
cash in London? Are We too luxuriant
at home? Is it that the American must
have the best of everything in his houss
and his office, on his railroad and in his
steamship, no matter at what cost to his
ability to extend his trade? Can We rot
spare the men TO go after the South
American trade? Can we not put up with
small orders from new countries, in order
to encourage them to come again? Is the
advertisement of European sales worth
the money that 1t costs? If 1t Is, where
are we to make the money, if not In
South America or the Orient?
1t would be manifest advantage to
our makers of goods If their at .entioM

much 1t means in gold exchange in the
money markets. We are the greatest cof-

no more than we do our liquor bills. Eut
the coffee habit is even more costly to US

buy the coffee abroad for gold. while we
make our liquors out Of our own grapes

WEDNESDAY. APRIL Ii, 1900.
ARE THERE NO OTHER COM
PLANTS?

There is something unspeakably child
like and bland about the order recently
issued by Mayor Tliefer to his chief Of
police. There is also something supreme
ly amusing in the air of self-commenda-
tion with which the administration. which
has been so contemptuously discarded by
its own party, asks public approval of
the action taken as the result of that or
der, Notwithstanding that, like all other
such undertakings, It has thus far re-
suited in nothing.
So that the world may not too soon lose
the recollection of this remarkable execu-
tive order Of our mayor, 1t Is here repro
duced. as follows:
Vigorous complaints have been made
a. this office against cigar and candy
stores in which, 1t is declared, women ply
their vocation, enticing men to enter
their dens by rapping at the window and
making other demonstrations etc. etc
Such places should be looked up and
closed. "A. r. Kiefer, Mayor"
Vigorous complaint has been made
about these things! The inference is no
doubt. that they are the only things
about which complaint, vigorous or 9TH
erwise, has been made. And. So there
can be nothing else involving the proper
policing OF the city which requires urgent
attention!
Mayor kiefer has not heard complaint
made against the promiscuous. licensing
OF crime of this character. He has not
heard that the poorer people who occupy
our tenements have complained of being
brought into enforced contact with the
representatives of this class in the vicin-
ity of their homes, and often under their
own roofs. He has not heard complaint
that solicitation is not confined to the
windows OF cigar or candy stores, but is
being conducted openly in daylight ON the
public streets, with but little care of
concealment. He has not learned that all
of these people, wherever and however
they ply their calling, have paid their
fines and rely accordingly on doing as
they choose to do with impunity.
But as the eyes Of virtuous admins
tration are never turned on such consid-
erations when 1t can be- avoided, it may
be asked whether thcre are not other di-
rections still. involving the unpunished
and general commission Of crime, in
which complaint, and vigorous complaint
at that is heard daily. Do the daily op-
erations Of the confidence men on confd-
ing visitors to the city not occasion any
complaint which comes to the mayor or
his chief of police? Has It come TO pass
that burglars can draw up their hired
trucks in front of a city store on bust
ness tkoroughfare and proceed leIsurely
to.ioot that store without any thought Of
police interference, carrying away Their
booty by the huniaelweight, without

EdItor of the CLONE.

To the Editor of the Globe:
Admiral Dewey has said he will not re-
fuSe the honor If the American people
wish to make him the head of the ma
tion Certainly, no man in America de-
serves more at the hands of the people
than Dewey, and no man has ever served
his country better than Dewey. But i'm
mediately politicians all over the country
are ready TO say that Dewey is not fitted
for high office. The fact that he could
even be mentioned seems to excite their
surprise and ridicule. One St. Paul poll
tician has said that we want no more hero
presidents, that Grant was enough for
us. This man seems to forget that Wash
ington and Jackson and Harrison and
Taylor were all hero presidents. Another
mas said that Dewey is no longer popular:
while the Chicago papers are telling OF
the demonstration to be given Dewey
May l. If it is a matter OF filling the
streets with people, no man today can do
that as well as the admiral One man
puts himself on record by saying. Il am
disgusted with Dewey. $50 are the
mighty fallen!'
Now for the defense: In the first place,
Dewey as a hoy received the finest educa-
ton that can be had in this country-a
cadet four years at the naval academy.
navy, where, IL a man is not honest and
brave and truthful to a dot. he is quickly
dropped from the rolls. All his life he
has been student Of international poll
tics as well as national, and there is
probably no man in the country today
who knows more about the questions that
must be settled by the next president. II
any one thinks Dewey cannot act with
promptitude and courage let them read
an account Of the battle of Manila bay
Why don't those people who say they are
not sure about Dewey read what has been
written by Joseph T. Stickney, of the
New York Herald, and Frederick Palm
er, OF Golfers Weekly, and Mr.. Murat
Halstead, all men who saw Dewey in ac-'
tion and on shore after action?
You will always find the politician ready
with flippant, ungenerous sneers for the
man who, from boy, has lived under
the flag. But the country is not alto
gether made up of politicians, please God,

themselves, and, best of all. respecting
