after joining the international family OF
European states, the United States can
not afford to fiout gratultously Its asso-
ciates, and that foreign governments and
peoples cannot be expected TO discrlml-
nate between the American people AID
those who represent them in appearance
however much they may misrepresent
them Ia fact
Though historians will probably as
sign the abandonment of the isolation pol
lev of the United States to the time when
this country and Spain went to war ov-
er Cuba, and though the abandonment
may have been precipitated by that CON
test, the change was inevitable, mad been
long preparing, and could not have been
long delayed The American people
were fast opening their eyes to the TACT
that they were one of the foremost pow
ers of the earth and should play a com
mensurately great part in its AFFAIRS
In short when our troubles with
Spain came to a head, it had, 1T Is be-
lieved, already dawned upon the Ameri-
can mindsthat the international pollcy
suitable to our infancy and our weak
ness was unworthy Of our maturity ana
our strength; that the traditional rules
regulating our relations to Europe, al
most a necessity Of conditions prevailing
a century ago were inapplicable to the
changed conditions of the present day I;
and that both duty and interest required
us TO take our true position in the Euro
pean family and to both reap all the al
vantages and assume all the burdens IN
cident to that position, Therefore, while
the Spanish war of 1893 is synchronous
with the abandonment of its isolation
policy by the United States, it was not
the cause Of such abandonment and at
the most FASTENED it by an inconsider-
able period
The article is scholarly and thought
full and will have an effect in directing
the thought of the day.

AN Appendicitis Club has been formed
in Cleveland, O. Any one who has been
separated from his appendix is eligible
to membership, and the promoters in,
tend to make the organization national.
There are said to be several thousand
appendixless people in the United States
who will rush to enroll themselves.
What the object of these clubs is does
not appear. Probably the political par
ties will now have to get out and hustle
for the anti appendix vote in every cam
paign. The clubs will doubtless demand
an neutrality-suspicious. plank in every
politica! platform and maintain lobby
at Washington The inauguration of
the movement just on the eve of a presi-
dental campaign certainly lends color
to the suppostion. Next we shall hear
of smallpox clubs, cholera clubs, meas
lo- clubs, chickenpox clubs, bunion and
wart clubs and amputated leg clubs
Then the party managers will have to
establish another bureau to go after the
cholera vote, the measles vote, and so
on. There would be as much sense in
this AZ in bidding for the hyphenated
American vote of various kinds.

ly it may be said he is not only one of the
leading businessmen of the city but one
of the most public spirited as well, in
formed me that the work of Improving
the country roads is done by the conyicts
and that these magnificent roads are
constructed at an average cost of 800
per mile We of Wisconsin may gather
some ideas of practical value from our
southern brothers.
Memphis is one of the southern cities
which early broke the limitations of To-
cal prejudice. 1t had sufficient conser
vatism to exclude the boom feature, so
that reverses from an overstimulated
growth have been avoided, and every bit
of growth has developed from legiti-
mate cultivation of resources. The sol
idity resulting from this is apparent on
every hand One feels there is perma
nency in everything and tinsel appears
nowhere. This characteristic appears
in the bearing of the people There is
soundness of Judgment, frankness of ex-
preston and independence of action
which give an added expression of pleas
ure to the acts of courtesy which is one
of the charms of the south.
Memphis, Nashville and Atlanta are
developing on parallel lines, quick to
take advantage of conditions without
vulgar exhibition of greediness and not
neglecting this cultivation of social
graces while progressive on the line Of
business.
No city could do more than Memphis
did in the entertainment of its guests.
Everything of interest was shown them,
that could be in the space OF one day,
and not in the spirit of parvenu,-
the delight of exhibiting but to give
pleasure to its guests
Memphis is great cotton market,
though its lumber interests are being
pushed with considerable vigor. Cotton
is king again this year. The advance in
the price has made the people happy.
! The advance averages about x1S per
bale, the weight of bale being from
400 to 800 lbs This advance has made
the people jubilant though the growers

/ Memphis informed me that he never
knew before of more perfect feeling OF
satisfaction among the people. The adj
vance has given them money beyond
their expectations and he says it is not
unusual to see people, proverbially hard
up, now with wad of money, and meet
ing all their obligations promptly.
/ But Memphis has taken too much
space already, not because of its lack Of
merit, but detailed mention of events on
trip may prove wearisome.

SECRETARY Root has sent to the SEN
ate letter from Gen. Davis accompany
ing petition from the people of Porto
Rico asking for free trade with the Unit
ed States, so that some market may be
found not only for the surplus tobacco
crops of 1893 and 1899, but for the matur-
ing crop of 1900 The whole Of this would
not exceed 3, 800, 600 pounds. Gen. Davis
says in his letter: Il cannot in any words
at my command overstate the urgency
and gravity Of the industrial paralysis
row existing in Porto Rico, owing to
the Porto Ricans being practically shut
out of all markets. 1t seems pitiful
that this great nation having taken
Porto Rico cannot permit its people
to make a living. What harm would
it do us to let them sell their poor little
three and a half million pounds OF to-
bacco, the surplus of three years crops,
when we produce annually hundreds of
millions Of pounds? The effect would
scarcely be noticed by our well-protected
growers, while it would be a godsend to
the impoverished and unrepresented
Porto Ricans. 1t is to be hoped that the
Republican opposition to the proposed
Porto Rican tariff will prove strong
enough to defeat it.

IT IS interesting to note that many of
the most prominent republican news
papers are now advocating tariff reform.
They see that the protected industries
are no longer infants and should not be
carried any further by the great govern
ment perambulator, the tariff The Chi
cago Tribune and the st. Paul Pioneer
Press are among the western papers that
are working in the republican party for
tariff reduction.

ADMIRAL DEWEY has expressed the
opinion that the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
concerning the Nicaraguan canal should
be ratified He says that the canal
should neutralized and considered as
commercial rather than a military ad-
vantage to this country; and that in case
of war the American navy could easily
guard it. Dewey's opinion in a matter
of this kind carries considerable weight.

PAPER.

The Missouri editorial association held
meeting recently to discuss the causes
of the present high price of print paper
The net result of the discussion and in
vestigation was that the democratic edi
tors found the trouble to be caused by
the ariff-protected paper trust, while
the republican editors maintained it was
all due to the excess of demand for print
paper over the supply. 1t is an interest
ing question. 1t vitality concerns every
newspaper published in the country.

Of business. The point is made that
while the tariff on print paper is only
So 90 per ton the advance in the cost of
it to publishers has been nearly 5000
per ton, and that therefore the protect
i've duty can not be held responsible for
the rise Still it would seem that the
abolition of the 81. 90 duty would reduce
the price per ton that much The trust

of which $40 600, 600 was water. The
remaining $35, 900, 900, consisting OF pre-
ferred stock and bonds, was issued for
the machinery, buildings and equipment
of the various paper mill concerns which
entered the trust. 1t is now known that
S35, 600, 900 was a heavy generalization

~ the trust has To earn dividends on

properties worth perhaps half that.
This involves the making of enormous
profits on the product sold. The organ
izers of the combine in figuring mp the
possibilities Of profits and consequent
dividends undoubtedly took the $500
per ton tariff into account and relied up
on it TO insure them IL portion of the big
profits they needed for their purpose.
The withdrawal of the duty would eth
or force the trust to reduce prices or it
would not the reduction would come If
foreign manufacturers could afford to
sell paper here at less than the present
could not afford to do it. In the former
case there would he some relief to con
sumers. and in the latter we should at

that our weak and struggling paper
makers no longer needed protection
from cheap foreign paper. At any
rate it would seem that there could
be no harm in wiping out the duty.

SENATOR CLARK of Montana is one
of your true philanthropists, His pity
of the people of Montana undel the dom
ination of the unspeakable Marcus DAILY
was so great that he came to the front
and contributed some $4,000 toward
the legitimate expenses involved in de-
posing the said DAILY. To make his phil
anthropy the more noteworthy he con-
scented to bestow himself upon the people
of Montana as United States Senator
for the period of six long and weary
years. The senate committee on cleo
tons may, however, ruthlessly separate
the people of Montana from their servant
Senator Clark and thus interrupt the six
years of devotion to the public veal that
Senator Clark had in mind. Republics
have always been ungrateful, and Clark's
DISTINGUISHED efforts in behalf of down
trodden Montana are in danger of going
unappreciated.

THERE is more Catarrh in this section
Of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For
great piany years doctors pronounced it
local disease, and prescribed local rem

with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment. Halls
