New York Hospitality.

The hospitality of smaller places is
rare if not unknown in New York
Hospitality there is different and tends

There was considerable complaint
last week because there was no cleo

to be for economy's sake, as there was
a moon the other side of the clouds.
The cause however, was from
another consideration-a defective
boiler. When this is fixed, or what
would be better, larger boilers, we are
assured the cause will be remedied.

represents himself as a census taker.
He recently went to the farm of Frank

farmer Harper sign paper, which af-

Range Horses.

The range horse market season is now
on in full blast, and train loads of West.
ern horses, good, bad and indifferent,
are east -bound from Montana, Idaho and
Washington TO be dumped into the sale
ring or retailed throughout the country.
There are 80 many buyers in the West
now that there is really competition for
the branded horse, and even the Indian
cayuses are in demand by the railroads
and the commission men, at least, who
make the same on the poor animal as on
the good one. The indiscriminate ship
ment of these common Western horses
has proved a loss to the shipper and al.
ways will. 1t is quality and not quaint
ty that is wanted-and this holds true
with the Weetern horse. The sale at
South st. Paul Thursday showed this
when several hundred head sold at prices
that did not make good feed, freight and
commissions.-New Brighton Reporter

Trade Under Expansion.

Washington, June 6th.-Senator
Lodge is one of the most careful and
thorough Investigators Of the expansion
question in all of its bearings. He has
just been examining the growth of our
trade with Hawaii, and finds that five
years ago, in 1895. the total Hawaiian
traGe with the United States amounted
to only s11, 100000. Last year it reached
S33,500.OO0 having increased almost
threefold within five years, and most. of
this increase has occurred within the
past eighteen months.
The Senator says we may not think
that a business of s33,5OO,OOO amounts
to very much, when our foreign trade is
o running up into the billions, but to
compare our trade with the Hawaiian
Islands, with their handful of people,
with our trade with some of the larger
countries of the world, gives a better
idea of the value of colonies to the
United States.
AS a result of his Investigations Sen
ator Lodge finds that
Ourtrade with the Hawaiian Islands
is over 100 per cent larger than our total
trade with Austria, Hungary.
1t is 10 per cent larger than our trade
with Denmark.
1t ist60 per cent as large as our total
trade with Italy.
1t is nearly four times as large as our
trade with Portugal.
1t is over $50 per cent greater than our
total trade with Russia.
1t is almost double our trade with
Spain.
1t is l25 per cent greater than our
trade with Sweden and Norway com
bined.
It ls more than double our trade with
Switzerland.
1t is ten times as / rye as our trade
with Turkey.

The lower house of Congress passed
the Littlefield antitrust bill last Satur-
day, with kbut one dissenting vote.
The bill amends the Sherman antitrust
act SO, it is hoped, as to make it more
effective in the prosecution of those who
violate it's provisions. As all of the dem
ocrats present voted for it, and as it was
a republican measure, it will be inter
esting to note whether the Chronicle
will continue to belabor the republican
party on account OF the existence of
trusts, while basking in the sunshine of
self glorification as the originator of
