With regard to Senator McCumber's
bill now before congress for the appoint
ment of a commission to investigate the
Asiatic trade, Bradstreet's, one of the
leading business publications of the
country, says:
At least one bill is now before congress
calls for the appointment of a commits
sion to study and presumably visit China
and Japan with the aim of examining
the commercial conditions of those coun-
tries and the opportunities for expand
ing u already rapidly growing trade
with the far east. We believe this, or a
similar measure, a good n within limi-
t%ations, and in some directions we believe
the limitations already set may be profit
ably waived. For instance, a bill restrict
ing the commissions work to the two
countries mentioned would be a partial
measure only. Our interests in the
Philippines would seem to call for a close
examination of the trade conditions of
the other islands of the east, to the end
that valuable points in reference to the
possible trade of the new possessions
should not be missed. Then, again, any
investigation which would leave our ex-
banding trade in flour, machinery and
railroad supplies with Russian Asia out
of the reckoning would be in a high de-
gree incomplete. 1t may be that the
work will require more time than ex-
pected or that more than one commits
sion may be sent. That such commits
sions furnish opportunities for junketing
is probably true: but these are merely
details, details, too, which the executive
will have to handle and be responsible
for, but there is 10 good argument there
in to be made against a properly organ
lied commission acting in a businesslike
way and with the good of the mercantile
community of this country at heart.
Investigation by commission of Asiatic
trade is no new feature. The work of
the British Commercial mission in China
is of too recent a date to need %recapitu-
lation, and it may be recalled that an
American commission representing a
quasi-public institution visited China
some year or so ago.

The newspapers give the tax collec-

to attend a lecture, held perhaps at the
district schoOlhOuse. Here the sub
ject of beet culture is carefully ex-
planned, the natural advantages which
the surrounding territory possesses for
raising beets is gone into, and on be-
half of lie railroad company the expert
urges the farmers to undertake the bus
mess, perhaps pledging the company
to find a market for the product. If a
certain district IS best fitted for the
dairy business the expert holds a SINH
lar farmers and endeavors to interest
the farmers in the establishment of a
cooperative creamery. In some in
stances the railroad furnishes, free Of
charge, the services of an expert to sup
erintend the building of the creamery
and to manage it for the first month,
or until a regular manager a be Sc
cured. In many other similar ways
the railroads are now doing their part
in putting agriculture on a scientific
basis.
That the work has passed far beyond
the status Of m experiment is shown
by the fact that one railroad in Mis-
souri, has established no less than ff-
teen cooperative creameries along it's
lines, in not one of which does the rail-
road company have any other interest
than in the additional revenues thus
secured for it's freight department. In
each case, it also should be stated, the
railroad also guarantees a market for
the product of these new enterprises.
This it is aDle to do by the aid of it's
agents in the large cities.
But the railroads in their new work
do not stop with the farmer. A single
instance may suffice to show how they
also are lending aid and comfort to the
manufacturers along their lines. The
commercial agent of a western road
went to the proprietor of a flour mill
in a small town and asked him how
many barrels of flour he was making
daily. He was told that the output
every t%wenty-four Aours was fifty bar
rels, but that the capacity of the mill
was double that amount. The mill
was not worked to it's full capacity be-
Il of the lack Of a certain market.
The railroad agent, after getting the
miller's lowest price, found a firm in
Brooklyn, N. Y, that was ready to buy
the extra fifty barrels for a term of
months. Thus at one stroke he bene-
fitted the miller and added fifty barrels
of flour to the daily freight receipts of
his road,

OF the clustering statements of that gen.
tleman, who appears to have been several
sizes too small for his position. Hay says
there have been no complaints lodged by
Macrum of the opening of his mail by
the British or the censor, and that the
department was in ignorance of any such
thing until Macrum deserted his post
and came home, to slobber in the arms
of the democrats. The secretary also
gives a fat denial to the secret alliance
bugaboo-stating that no secret a lance
with England OF with any other nation
exists. 1t is now Macrum's move. He
should go back to glass blowing, for
which he is better fitted than diplomacy.

The Original Smith.

Charles Dudley Warner represents the
camel as remarlSing, there are three of
us, me and the date palm and the pyra-
mid-the rest are modern" But accord
ing to Prof. J. p. Mahaffy, the camel is
mistaken-the three he mentions are not
the only veritable antiques. IN letter to
the London Athenaeum he shows that the
name Smith goes back well nigh to the
dawn of time. Among the yet unpublish-
ed curiosities of the Petrie papyri is a
list of names connected with the manu-
facture of beer in Egypt Writing of
these the professor says:
'There is one which appears regularly
in the same form. and of which we can
give no further explanation. It is the
name of Smith-unmistakably written
Smith. We have never found anything
like it before, and it is surely wor,a tell
ing the many distinguished bearers of the
name that there was a man known as
Smith in the twentieth year of the third
Ptolemy, 227 b. c., and that he was oc-
cupied in brewing beer or in selling it Is
there any other English name comparable
to this in antiquity?'
The next time the Smith family has one
of its reunions it may decide to send a
commission to Egypt for the purpose of
continuing the Investigations which Prof.
Mahaffy has so promisingly begun, Per
haps the grave of the original Smith

Twain shed some fIial tears-wlil yet be
