A Home View.

We have previously given in our
columns biographical sketch of the
work of Mr.. Dale. Now we propose
to state not so much what he has
done but what he is; and we do this
with great satisfaction because we
have an opportunity of stating just
exactly what man should be and
of being certain that everybody who
knows him will know it to be state
ment without the concea1ment of
eXaggeration. In the first place his
private life has been without suspi-
cion. We never heard of it's being
criticised. His daily work has ever
been upright, his conduct manly,
his department gentleman1y, and his
conversation entirely free from vu1
garity, slang or profanity. He is a
Christian gentleman, with broad
benevolence and charity. His friend
ships are not demonstrative or en-
thusiastic, but absolutely true and
consistent. This is much to say,
but we incur no peril in saying it
because we are in the midst of people
who know his character as we'll as
we do. AS a scholar he is cultivated
and we'll grounded in educational
matters. AS a lawyer he is candid,
just, good strong reasoner and
presents his views in a becoming
manner. AS a business man he is
painstaking, Industrious, energetic,
and efficient, and has the poise of a
man of maturer years. His expert
ence has been various for a man of
his years and his judgement and dis
erection have invaribly secured good
results. AS a speaker he is dignified
and impressive, and he has always
in a way been associated with the
public. In politics he has ever been
absolutely consistent, devoted to the
Republican party, Industrious and
Jealous for his prosperity and he is
in full sympathy with the theories
of the present administration.
Such is the man whom the Herald,
in obedience to the universal and
enthusiastic wishes of the people of
Essex county and numerous friends
las we understand it) in various |
portions of the Second Congression-
al District, presentes as a candidate
for congressional honors He is of |
most desirable age, being 80 years
old. 1t has for long time been
the dream and the hope of the peo-
pie of this county that they might |
have some one of her sons to repre-
sent this. district in congress, and |
she has been flattered with assur-
ances that when the proper time came
and a worthy and well qualified man
should be presented for the place,
that their wishes should be respected |
and her hopes realized. She now
feels she can present a man who is |
in just ahe right time of life and
who has all the essential elements |
to develope career of usefulness
and honor which may ever be looked |
Upon by the district with pride and
satisfaction. Island Pond Herald. |

Undoubtedly we need cable con-
nections with our new Pacific posses
sions, but whether it should be an
all American Geographic cable or
that it should run along the Alaskan
coast to Russian Asia, to Japan, to
Formosa, to the Philippines is ques-
+ionab1e. Thus to connect with an
established line would probably be
cheaper, but we would be subject
to delay, and in the event of war
either between this country and
some other, or between two other
countries-all communication with
our possessions would be cut OFT as
would not be the case with an all
American line.

John Ruskin, the great English
man, died January 20 from Influenza.
He would have been 81 years old
had he had lived until February 8.
His literary inclination was toward
poetry until he reached the age of 80.
However, he was not as successful
in this line as in his later productions
of prose. He was a famous painter
and critic as well as an author.
Perhaps his best known works are
his various volumes of Modern Paint
ers in which he defends Turner's
paintings from the critics, who took
the ancient painters as their stand
ard.

A bill has been introduced into
the House of Peers by the japanese
government. 1t is religious bill
and establishes christianity for the
first time upon the same official
standing as Shintoism and Buddh-
ism. 1t is quite likely that it will
pass. And if it does, in accordance
with the constitution, which grants
religious freedom, ali religions will
be equal before the law The mis-
sionaries should find encouragement
in the recognition thus afforded the
faith, for which they have sacrificed
so much.

At the end of this year the United
States will have twice as large a
navy as it possessed at the beginning
of the war with Spain. This is very
encouraging to those who wish to
have this country become the first
naval power, and is at the same
time in the direction of peace.

that he will again assume his duty

IRON MARKET
Rogers, Brown 6 Co.'s Review for
 Week Ending Saturday.

Cincinnati, November 11.-(Special) - Tn reviewing the iron market for the week ] ending Saturday, November 10, Rogers, Brown & Go. say:
 "The activity of the market the past week has exceeded that of any week since the revival began. The demand has been for every quality and grade and from ev- cry class of manufacturers using pig iron, a good percentage going to agricultural im- plement makers, who find the man with a hoe cheerful cash customer. The car works have taken important orders for cars, and they have been liberal buyers.
 "The result of the election was discount ed by many sagacious consumers who started the market on the up grade by lib- eral purchases before the eventful Novem- Der 6, and the pronouncedly patriotic re- suit of the election has added a stimulus that has carried rices on foundry and mill grades appreciably upward. The numerous orders that had been entered contingent upon McKinleys election have, of course, been confirmed. Prices are very irregular as is always the case in turns of the mar ket. The old reliable brands are naturally the first to feel the impulse and fill their order books. the furnaces less favorably known following and those unpopular for any reason bringing up the rear. Hence quotations necessarily show quite a wide range of prices.
 "The moving of the phenomenal corn crop, together with the increasing general business of the country, renders quick de- livery of iron and coke on the many 'hur- ry' orders very difficult.
 ''The market closes with fresh inquiries from every direction and there are indica- lions of a continuance of legitimate heavy demand, which will, in all likelihood, lead to advances the coming week in all classes of pig iron"

GENERAL MANAGER MURPHY
Remarkable Earnings of the Central
 of Georgia Railroad.

General Manager w J. Murphy, of the Queen and Crescent lines, leaves Cincln- natl today on his annual tour of inspec- tion. He will probably reach Birmingham the latter part of the week. General Mana ger Murphy is accompanied on the trip by several other officials of the Queen and Crescent, and will be joined by the super intendents of the various lines when such lines are reached.
 The Central of Georgia Railroad Company has established new record in the matter of earnings for any one month. During the month of October of this year the earnings of this road were $74,794 greater than in the same month a year ago, or gain of il per cent. The earnings for October 1899, were the greatest in the history of the road, and were never exceeded in any one month ex- cept October, 1900 President Egan says that the large increase is particularly pleasing on account of the fact that it is not due to abnormal or unusual conditions, but is derived directly from regular busi- ness and the industrial development of the country through which the Central of Georgia runs.

MANCHESTER MARKET.
Improvement Noted-Much Better De-
 mand for Cloth.

Manchester, November 1.-The market conditions here continue to improve There is an increase of inquiry and some active business Is noticeable in several sections. Progress, however. Is irregular, and it Is not easy to estimate the volume of trans actions.
 The hardening in cotton brought out or ders, but buyers have been holding back while makers are independent. Buyers are sceptical regarding the reports of frost in Texas, especially in view of easier cotton in New York. Although inquiries were numerous, comparatively few offers were acceptable to the producers. Prices were irregular In some instances advances were obtained but in others reduced rates were offered.
 Inquiry for China Is improving, while there are occasional transactions with that section. Minor Asiatic markets were very active throughout the week. There was a moderate demand for Egypt and the Med iterranean, and purchases of finishing cloth were effected for South America and Gen. tral America, where the sellers were not too obstinate.

SECRET SESSION
Of the Spanish-American Congress
 Begins Today.

Madrid November 1.-The secret session of the Spanish-American congress will be- gin tomorrow. They will be devoted to a study of various propositions for the de- velopment of the commercial relations be- tween Spain and Latin America.
 The press today warmly welcomes the delegates in language which is circumspect, showing no hostility toward the United States, but upholding the necessity of the unity of the Latin family in America.
 At yesterdays session of the congress Senor Sierra, the delegate from Mexico, emphatically disclaimed the idea that there was any incompatiblity between the pres ent congress and the one that would be held in Mexico in October of next year for the purpose of discussing customs duties among all the American nations. He ex- pressed the hope that the two congresses would result in benefit not only to all the nations in the western hemisphere, but to all humanity well, adding that universal blessings would follow if compulsory arbi- tration for differences between nations should result.

LONDON MARKET.
American Securities Absorbed Atten-
 tion-A Busy Week.

London, November u.-Interest on the Stock Exchange last week centered in Americans, a very large business being done in this department. The public showed a revival of interest, beginning early Wednesday, mainly on New York buying. Prices went up by bounds. and for many brokers Wednesday proved far and away the best business day of the year.
 British and continental holders hardly realized the situation. They contented themselves with taking profits in New York and accepted all stocks offered. Conse- quently, while prices fuctuated, the under tone of the market never lost firmness; and the net result of the week was that prices went from to 6 points and closed even above the best quotations given in the flush of MT. McKinley's victory. Yester- days buying was largely on British and continental account.
 Baltimore and Ohio shares rose 31s points; Denver and Rio Grande preferred, 2h; Chi cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, 2h; Union Pacific, 17; N. & ". common, IFS; North ern Pacific common, IFS; Chesapeake and Ohio. 1A; Erie firsts, 1as; Reading firsts, 1as; Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, 1, and otherss from k to %.
 The situation in Americans, from the British point of view. is thus summed up in the financial column of the Sunday Times:
 "The remarkable progress which the remarkable progress which the United States have made during the past three years will now proceed at an accelerated pace. The situation Is sound, with plenty of money, every promise of great activity In trade, increased profits, greater earnings and better dividends for railroads. America will continue to buy and Europe to sell. Europe will buy later on.''
 The boom in Americans imparted vitality to the other markets, although consols were lower.
 The hardness of money is not surprising, as the Bank of England has taken 5O00. 900 off the market within a week. The pay ment of the last installment of the war lean absorbed another f2,00O, 900, while f3- OOO.OOO will be needed this week for the treasury bills and exchequer bonds. Yester- days demand for money was brisk, rates for call money ranging from 3A to per cent. Money for a week brought 31b per cent, and three months bills per cent.

BERLIN MARKET.
Result of American Election Had
 Good Effect-Business Brisk.

Berlin, November 1.-The German bourse was completely dominated last week by the election in the United Staes and Wall streets interpretation offs it. Financier here had been arguing that since a reaction here was started in April by the decline in stocks and iron prices in the United States, so the elections effect upon the business would be strongly felt here. This view has been strikingly confirmed. The large sales of iron In the United States last week attracted much attention, causing unusual firmness in German iron shares and giving a great impetus to American railways.
 Ffnanciers here express satisfaction with the outcome of the election, interpreting the result as favorable to the German money market.
 The Vossische Zeitung says:
 "The immediate future of the European markets depends upon whether America will prolong the loans made to us or will withdraw considerable sums from its bal ances. Should the latter result have been caused through any doubt with respect to the financial policy of the United States, the German market particularly would have experienced no slight stringency to- ward 1901. McKinley's reelection means for us an avoidance of panicky turns in the money market"
 Contracts let here for rolled iron by the Prussian railways show prices ranging from 9 to 30 per cent below last years fig ures. French company secured the con- tract for the Brunswick water works pip ing at S5 marks, as against 140 marks, the lowest German bid.
 Prussia's coal production for the nine months covered by the official statistics was 75,S09,92S tons, or an increase of 4,490,- 6S5.
