Our Growing Importance Abroad


Senator Depew of New York, who
much impressed abroad by the position
this country has assumed in the esti-
nation of foreign nations during the
last two years. Before 1885," he said,
mo ruler or minister in Europe was in
terested in American opinion or action.
Now the situation is the reverse Ev-
cry cabinet reckons the attitude of the
United States In formulating plans.
The excellence and In many cases the
superiority of our goods, the energy of
our traders and the cheapness of our
transportation are exciting alarm. The
taking of one-half of the British war
loan In New York at nearly ] per cent
less than London offered amazed Lom-
bard street 1t put thinking caps on
f1nanciers everywhere. If New York
Is to be the financial center of the
world and our surplus money Is for
loan cheaper than it can be had else
where, the event is of the greatest con-
sequence on both sides Of the Atlantic.
The policy and tradition of centuries
are upset, and old world bankers must
go to school. If the governments Of
the continent saw any way to check
our advance, they would adopt 1t.
II heard more discussions, and intel
ligent ones, as to our home conditions
this summer than in 20 years before.
The powers are so nicely balanced that
our position on eastern questions is of
vital Importance. The one question is,
What will the United States do in Chi
ma and afterward in the orient? There
is no disposition to forcibly prevent our
entrance on an equal footing into Chi
ma and the east, but tremendous anx-
iety for us not to press the subject and
especially not to push our products in
competition with theirs among the peo-
pie of Asia"

Some idea of what a big hotel a
transatlantic liner is may be gained
from the following from Ainslie's Mag
azine; Everything about the kitchen
of a great steamship is on most elab-
crate scale. The range weighs many
tons; the various soup caldrons are
constructed to hold 20 gallons; loaves
are baked by the hundred, joints roast
ed by the dozen, each in a separate and
specially constructed compartment. To
serve the meals thousands Of plates,
pieces of silver, cups and saucers and
napkins are required, and the average
breakage in the galley of a big ship
amounts to barrel of china every day.
"The amount of stores required for
single voyage by great liner is COM
parable only to the commissariat Of an
army. Here are few figures furnish
ed by the chief steward of one of the
big German ships from the order sheet
for a recent trip: Sixteen tons Of fresh
beef, five tons of lamb and veal, $500
head of chickens, ducks, geese and
game, four tons of sailed meats, 1000
dozens eggs, three tons of sugar, 100
barrels of flour, 700 bushels Of pota-
toes, 21a tons of butter, 1000 quarts of
milk and 500 gallons of ice cream. OF
course this is not an exhaustive list,
but it will serve to give an idea of the
enormous appetite which the store
rooms Of the ocean liner must satisfy"

Bryan's Notification Speech.
The above is just exactly the doc
trine that the Bourbon Democracy OF
the south believes in and puts into
practice BY brute force" it has dis
franchised nearly one half of the vot
ers of some Of the southern states
thus establishing in those states "gov-
eminent without the consent of the
governed" and taxation without rep
resentation."
1t is passing strange that Mr.. Bryan
is compelled to go to the Philippine
Islands to find wrongs to be denounced
and people to be sympathized with.
Isn't the black man of our southern
states, robbed Of his political rights by
the Democracy, as much entitled to
sympathy as the brown man of the
Philippines?
Why does not Mr. Bryan also protest
against the injustice Of allowing q
southern state which casts only 100000
votes to have as large representation
in the electoral college and in the con-
gress of the United States as a north.

Four LEGGED weather Prophets.

Though the tortoise is an excellent
weather prophet, the fact is known to
comparatively few people. Tortoise
farmers on the African coast notice
that even "a hours before rain falls
these curious animals prepare for it by
seeking the convenient shelter of over
hanging rocks. 1t may be a bright,
clear. sunshiny morning, but the farm
ers believe implicitly in the tactics of
the tortoise, who is seldom mistaken,
for the downpour is certain to come
within the time stated.
A pet tortoise would be a practical
present to bestow on ones friends.
This curious premonition of the APP
proach ofTain Is shared by many other
animals and birds and may be explain
ed partially by the fact that while rain
is forming the atmosphere is increas-
ing in weight but there may also be
some need of moisture which makes
them aware of it's approach or some
habits of life which make them thus
sensitive.-Chicago Record.

No section of the country has had a
larger share of the general prosperity
during McKinIey's administration than
the south, and it is passing strange
that the southern Bryanites should be
preparing to do their utmost to defeat
McKinley's reelection and to check
this prosperity. Never before In the
history Of the United States has the
output of southern iron ore and pig
iron, lumber, coal and coke been so
large as 1t has been In the past two
years, and not for years, If ever, have
the prices been so high. Never before
was so large a proportion of southern
products shipped from southern ports.
Never before has money loaned there
at such low rates of interest. All this
under the gold standard and a pro-
tective tariff. A few years ago the
south did practically no manufacture
ing. 1t now has over 81 ,000,000,000 in

100000 in wages AND producing be-
tween 81, 500, 100000 and $1,000 100000

this increase has been secured under

rectly due to the operation Of the Re-

Death to the workmen.

1t was in an art store in Fifth ave-

ed clocks and candelabra to a Gus
toner. Pointing to one particularly
handsome set, he said, "That is worth
$780," Pointing to another of similar
pattern, but not so handsome, he said,
"That is worth $780,"
"But the other one is better" said
the customer.
"Well," said the dealer, "the chief
value of this one pointing to the 5000
affair is in the gliding. 1t was gilded
by the mercury process which is now
forbidden by law almost everywhere.

it killed them, and it wasn't long do

Cooling water In NfcarsGun.

primitive method of cooling water In

because this is a task that requires
more energy than any male Nicara-
guam was ever known to possess. The
jar is made Of baked clay, and, not be-
Ing glazed, is partially porous and soon
becomes moist on the outside. Two
leather straps are firmly attached to
the neck, and, selling these i'll her

HAM SMELLING A BUSINESS.
Peculiar Occupation For Which Only
Few Are QuaIifed.

Peculiar Occupation For Which Only
Few Are Qualified.
The ham smeller's only tools are a
long steel trier and his nose. He stands
in barrel to keep his clothes from be-
ing soiled by the dripping brine, and
the hams are brought to him, and he
plunges his sharp pointed trier into
them, withdraws it and passes it swift
ly beneath his nose. The trier always
goes down to the knuckle joint.
In testing meat in that manner the
man with the trier judges by the slight
est shade of difference between the
smell of one piece of meat and anoth-
er. The smell of the meat is almost
universally sweet, and that is what he
smells. The slightest faint or devia-
ton from the sweet smell is therefore
appreciate. 1t is not the degree of
faint that he expects to find, but the
slightest odor that is not sweet.
When he detects an odor, he throws
the meat aside, and if it is not I'M
wholesome it is sold as rejected"
meat, but if it is tainted it goes to the
rendering tank. The ham tester smells
meat from o'clock in the morning I'M
til o'clock at night, and his sense
must never become jaded or inexact or
his usefulness would be at an end.
Ham testing is not pursuit danger
GUS to the health, as tea testing is sup
posed to be, but the ham smeller with
a cold in his head is like piano player
who loses his arm in railroad wreck.
