the distribution Of eerman capital
abroad. He says:
Especially noteworthy in this con-
nectIon is the success which has follow
ed the efforts OF Germany TO obtain a
firm footing in the far east and secure
her share of what her fnrsighted states
men recognize as the chief commercial
prize of the twentieth century. the trade
OF China. The occupation OF Riaochou
was a definite and scarcely disguised
step toward this result. From the best
information that can be obtained, Ger
man commerce with China has In
creased 10 per cent during the past four
years. In 1892. seventy-eight German
firms were established in that country;
in 1887 they numbered lO1. and they are
rapidly increasing in numbers and I'm
,fuence. Important mining and other
concessions have been secured in Shan
tung, and German railway is to BE-
built from Riao-chou to Hoang-ho. In
connection with these enterprises a con-
tract has been or is TO be concluded be
tween the Imperial government and
syndicate Of East Aslatlc-G
houses, which has its principal Office at
Tsln-tau and a working capital of 5O,-
100000 marks.
"The specialized information and
commercial samples brought home by
the commission Of 1897 have been d.
gested, classified and put into the hands
Of German manufacturers and export
ers, who know therefrom exactly what
the trade of China requires, how the
goods should be made. packed and
labeled to meet the wants and tastes of
the people in that country.
I'm the whole chapter OF Germany's
foreign commercial policy there is no
object lesson more striking and valuable
for the study Of Americans than the in
telllgent audaclty with which. German
capital Is launched and invested in dis
tant fields of enterprise, It is not mere
iy the German government, the sub
sidlzed steamship lines. the export as
soclatlons of manufacturers and mer-
chants, who are working together like a
trained and disciplined army for the
prosperity and expansion Of German
trade, but their banks and capitalists;
the active money Of the Fatherland is
at every outpost, seeking investment
not only for immediate prospective
profit, but to get the channels and ma
chinery of trade securely into German
hands"

Ahsurd Logic.

The impudent class of law breakers
have fashion OF advancing extraneous
arguments In excuse of their violation
of the laws that is quite absurd to thu
thinking. rational being. The situation
in Cleveland fits in some measure the
condition OF things in this city. 1t
seems that a fight is going on In that
city with saloonReepers who are persist
emit in offending against the ordinances.
The Leader in speaking of the lame
contention OF this class. says:
"saloon-keepers who complain be-
cause the police do not always permit
violations of the Sunday liquor laws and
the midnight closing ordinance to go
unpublished, have an amusing habit of
referring to the notorious fact that
grave crimes often escape the penalty
fixed by the statutes, as II that made
1t wrong to interfere with other Of
fensesl In effect, they say that II the
police let some murderers escape and
do not succeed in catching all the bur
glars they have no business to modest
men who plainly violate the laws regu-
latlng this trade in Intoxicating liquors
To appreciate fully the absurdIiy of
this suggestion 1t is only necessary to
consider the chaos that would result
from the successful use Of like plaza by
all manner OF law-breakars. Bicycle
"scorchers" might claim that because
the police did not arrest every saloon
keeper selling liquor contrary to law
they should not be molested in running
down pedestrians or racing through the
busiest streets of the city. The owners
of horses might drive them on the side
walk, on the same principle. Trap doors
and cellar holes in sidewalks might be
left open, and 1t would surely be absurd
to molest any one for falling to clean
sidewalks after snow storms or because
leaves were burned on street pave
ments, as long as saloons were suffered
to 10 business after midnight Or on Sun
day."
This statement OF the case FITS the
Wheeling base hall club, for We under
stand that they argue that they have a
right to violate the Sabbath because
other offenders against the law are not
molested. This is their logic, and how
weak and absurd It Is.

Our Commerce with Germany.

Consul General Mason has furnished
some interesting facts in his report to
the state department with reference to
the German trade for 1899. Il appears
that the exports Of Germany to the
United States Increased from S74,22S,4S7
in 1898 to SS3.74i,7Ol In 1899 The in
crease was mostly in articles OF dress
and luxury. but Mr.. Mason suggests
that the growing productive capacity
Of the United States In silk, wooden and
cotton dress goods, hosiery and under
wear has had a depressing effect upon
SONS branches OF German exports. He
says, regarding trade relations between
the two countries:
"The value Of German exports to the
United States during the calendar year
1898 was $77, 7OO. OOO while Imports to the
Fatherlnnd from our country during tbs
same twelvemonth were. according to
the best attainable statistics. tlGS,SOO,-
900, difference OF SS6,lOO.OOO, which lies
heavily on the hearts of the agrarIlns
ana a large class Of writer's and speak
crs. who do not reflect, or Mt least ne
elect to point out, that while German
exports to the United States are largely
of hlgh-class manufactured msrchln-
disc, finished and ready for consump-
ton. Imports from our country are
largely food products, which Germany
cannot produce in sufficient quantities
at home, cotton and other raw materials
without which her industries would be
helpless, and machinery which day by
day increases Germany's productive
capacity and equips her more fully for
the competition OF the future. Nothing
of all this figures in the arguments of
the complalnants. who are constantly
urging the German government toward
higher duties. rrprIslls. anything that
can serve to restore the balance Of trade
with our country to where lS was dur
ing the fiscal year of 1889, when Ger
man exports to the United States were
eos OO2, 500 and our imports from Ger
many Ssi.742,54S."

No truer words were ever uttered
than the following from the Cleveland
Leader with reference to the Boer sym
pathy meeting held in Washington, last
sunday evening: with the exception
Of Speaker Henderson, of the house Of
representatives, every prominent public
man who attended the Washington
mass meeting on Sunday evening to ex-
press sympathy with the Beers, was n
Democrat. PopulIst. or an enemy OF thu
administration on purely political
grounds. That was to have been ex-
peeted, not because Republican mem
bers of Congress or officials connected
with the administration are lacking in
sympathy with the Beers but because
the whole sympathy business is being
exploited by the Democratic politicians
for partisan purposes, The mnin OBJ
jact is to make 1t APPEAR that the Presi-
dent is n foe to freedom"

CENSUS QUERIES.

on the EnumeratorS' SCneou4es-A
Number of Explanations.
The blank schedules to be used in
the next census are now being distrib-
uted by the census office to the enum-
orators, who will start to work on June
1. The schedules contain questions
which some persons may think pryinG,
purposeless, or excessive in number.
But their number and character have
been determined by Congress, not by
the census office, and all OF them have
been asked in previous censuses. The
only important change since 1890 Is
that some questions have been aban-
doned.
People are often offended at the
question, "How old are your and are
aot to wonder what use the govern
ment can make of their replies. Taken
as whole the replies are as important
as any class Of information the census
office collects. Age returns penetrate

many men the nation contains who are
capable of voting or of bearing arms,
and whether the relative number Of

In Mohammedan or semi-clVilIzed
countries like india householders are
often unwilling to answer the question
regarding the sex of persons in the
house, but in civilized countries where
the sexes are regarded as on an equal
ity. such unwlllingness does not app
pear. The answers to the questions
show that In nearly all cities the fe-
males outnumber the males and that
the same is true OF most OF the states
along the Atlantic coast. The belief Is
widespread that taking the world IN

at any given time than males, and that

The seals and sea lions which infest
the mouth of the Columbia river have
created such havoc among the salmon
fisheries that a crusade with dynamite
is soon TO he begun against them. The
animals are both shrewd and bold. and
it is said hat a seal will police a set
net with great regularity, and take a
bite out of the throat of every salmon
it contains. Frequently when a fisher
man is taking his net into a boat and
is about to gaff a fish which is entau-
gled in the meshes, a seal will rise and
bite its throat. The seal herds con
gregate on "A certain sandspit in tn,
mouth of the river. and it is proposed
that dynamite mines be SUNK in the
sand and connected with the main
land by wires. When the animals are
ashore the mines will be exploded
Similar plans are laid for the destruc
ton of the sea lions, which do not
gather with the seals.-San Francisco
Chronicle.
