Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1900-02-14

The stories which are printed from
time to time to the effect that large
numbers Of Americans have been and
are enlisting In the Boer and British
armies are undoubtedly exaggerations.
There are many persons In the United
States who are in sympathy with the
Afrikanders and many others who
would be glad to see the English win,
but it Is safe to say that very few are
going to transmute their feelings into
deeds. The Transvaal is a good many
thousand miles away from the United
States. The war in that quarter Of the
globe is a matter in which Americans
In general have no great interest ex-
cept In purely historical sense. Prob
ably there are a few Americans on
each side in that conflict. but the num-
Der of these and the number who will
engage in it are undoubtedly much
smaller than is popularity imagined.

1t is an unhappy thing that two rival
biographies of the late Dwight L.
Moody should be in preparation and
that publishers should be pickering
over the matter so soon after the great
evangelist has ceased to preach the
gospel of peace and love. Mr.. Moody's
son, William r. Moody, is writing one
of the books, and the Rev. DR.. j. Will
bur Chapman Of New York is said to
be writing the other. Both are being
spurred on by eager publishers with q
view of being first in the field. These
are not conditions that conduce to good
work. The probability is that we shall
have two hasty and unsatisfactory BIZ
ographies instead of one that is thought
full, authoritative and complete. The
writer should take plenty of time to
collect the letters and materials neces-
sary to make an authoritative and In
teresting book. There are enough has
ty and useless works foisted on the
book market without spelling the biog-
raphy of a prominent and good man to
make another.

The state department at Washington
has received report from Consul Gen.
eral Stowe at Cape Town showing that,
notwithstanding the war, the South
African states are making heavy de-
mands upon American manufacturers
for edge tools, electric cranes, electric
machinery, engines, windmills, brew
ers' grain, household articles, farmers
tools, school and house furniture, can
ned goods, etc. American mules and
horses are arriving in large numbers
on private orders and are sold on ship
to the British government. and the
Transvaal and Orange Free State gov
ernments ealso heavy buyers. Among
the items specified by Consul Stowe
are boilers and match plants, ordered
from Chicago manufacturers. He Is of
opinion that when the war is over
trade with the United States will be
greatly increased.

The report Of the agricultural experts
Of this country. just issued by the agri.
cultural department at Washington, Is
interesting and suggestive. About
$516,OO0,O0O worth, or 60 per cent. OF
our agricultural exports in 1898 went
to Great Britain and her dependencies
Germany comes next, having taken
about - per cent Of our agricultural
exports during the past four years
This fact would seem to indicate that
there exists between this country and
Great Britain at least a commercial
and industrial entente, which, in view
Of the fact that that country and her
dependencies are our best markets,
does not appear to be bad thing for

In June next it will be 500 years
since the birth of Johann Gutenberg,
whoinvented the art Of printing with
movable type. 1t is not, as matter
of fact, exactly known when he was
born, but for the sake of convenience it
is assumed that the interesting event
occurred in June, l40O. That he was
born in the German city of Mayence,
on the Rhine, is not disputed, and in
that city the fifth century of his birth
will be celebrated this year by an in-
ternational printing exhibition.

A bill has been introduced i'm the
house of the Iowa legislature to regu-
late telephone charges. The bill pro-
vides that telephone companies shall
not charge TO exceed So per month per
phone for office service and 81 for
homes. The rate for telephoning to
points outside the municipalities shall
not exceed 25 cents for ten minutes
talk. This is a radical reduction and
will set the telephone companies on
their metal in opposition to the meas
ure becoming law

DURING the last fiscal year 6.855, 0SS
pieces of mail matter found their way
to the dead letter office because of i'm
proper directions. Because 756,0lS
pieces had return addresses they reach
ed the writers; but the 6.l0l 500 pack
ages that could not be returned had to
be opened to ascertain If they could be
returned. OF this number S,775, 64S
pieces remained for which no owners
could be found. Doubtless postal clerks
are blamed for their failure to reach
same, but the truth is that the skill Of
many clerks keep millions more from

The Chemnitz Tageblatt recently
printed an article upon the wealth of
Russia which contains some statistics
Of the resources of that vast empire
not generally known. According to it's
statement. Russia has S.GA. 100 square
miles Of territory. extending over one
seventh of the earth's surface. Its wa
tiers cover 293.01S square miles; its pop
ulatiou is 133.OOO.O0O: 1t has 1l.00O. 0o0
men able to fight; 1t can send 1.2o5.300
men into the field In few days and
100000 more few days later: its to-
tai prepared fighting force Is 2.500.000
men and 407.415 horses: Its feet COM
prises % battleshi2s. IA coast defend
ers. 16 cruisers. % cannon boats" ard
90 torpedo boats. The government
owns 1861 miles of railroad and pri-
vate parties 5000 miles. Russia Is
practically independent Of the world
for food since the opening up Of the
grainfields Of Siberia. In European
Russia alone 24.GO0. 26O head of cattle.
44.465. 450 sheep and 9.243.O0O hogs
roam over its vast meadows and
steppes. and 1t cultivates 1.O9S.507. $50
acres of land. While In the event Of a
general European war Russia would
cut most conspicuous figure. the Mus
covites are now apparently more in
terested In the development of their
vast esources-building railroads. open
ing mines, draining marshes. clearing
forests and putting new lands under
cultivation.
