Hats Off to Uncle Sam.

A striking statement showing the
industrial pre-eminence Of the United
States has been made by Postmaster
General Smith at the annual banquet
of the merchants and manufacturers
of Baltimore. 1t shows that this coun-
try is the busiest bee hive on earth. 1t
is so interesting, so encouraging anu
so generally gratifying that 1t is worth
space here. Here it is;
Our growth is the wonder of man
kind. In 1870 the value of our manu-
factures was $3,7OO,O 100000, in 1899 it
was nearly $12,00O,OO0, 900. In 1870
the manufactures of the United States
just equalled those of Great Gritian;
in 1899 they were two and a half times
as great and equalled those of Great
Britain, Germany and France COM
bined. The increase in the annual
American product within thirty years
has been double the combined increase
of those three great nations. Our man
ufautures are now equal to all theirs,
and are growing twice as fast. We
are manufacturing nearly two-thirds
as much as all Europe with its &c.,,
900, 900 people, and more than one
third of all that is manufactured in
che world. If you take the whole
range Of Industries the proportions
stand about the same. The aggregate
value of American industries is more
than double that of Great Britain,
three times that of France, and two
and half times that of Germany. 1t
is one-half that of all Europe combin-
ed. Within forty years the United
States has gained more than S67 ,000,-
900, 900 in wealth, while Great Britain,
France and Germany together have
gained less than 100000, 100000. Our
present annual gain is about $1,000
100000, and every working day sees
the United States more than $6,OO0,O 900
better OFF than 1t was the day before
What's the matter with the United
States now? Isn't it a country to be
proud Of? Isn't it country worth liy-
ing in and sticking to? isn't it any
wonder other countries, the hitherto
proudest nations of the earth, are glad
to get a smile from Uncle Sam and
shiver at his frown?-Columbus Dis
patch.

The congressional situation from a
Republican standpoint, in the Fiji
teenth district. is increasingly comph-
Gated by the statement that, at the
proper time, Morgan county will have
its candidate in the person of Hon.
e. NJ. Stanberry, former member Of
the Ohio general assembly, and a
very strong man. In addition, the
Republicans of Guernsey will have a
candidate in T. R. Brown, manager
of the Morton black sheet mill at
Cambridge and they will stand val
iaatly at his back. This gives every
county in the district with the excep-
tion OF Noble, one or more candidates
for congress, with Muskingum fur
nishing two to divide the vote.-Ohio

Catarrh is blood or constitutional di-

take internal remedies. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, and acts di-
rectly on the blood and mucous sur

quack medicine. 1t was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in the coun-
try for years. and is a regular pres
criptlon. 1t is composed fthe best

The City Convention.

The approaching April election
brings up again the much discussed
question of the best method OF nomin-
ating candidates for city offices;
whether by petition, as has been the
custom in the past or by party conyen-
tions, as adopted by the Republicans
last spring.
Regardless of what our theories may
be on this question and regardless of
what may be best for other cities, it
must be generally admitted that as far
as Marietta is concerned, most any
method would be superior TO the free
for-all scramble which has character
lied the selection of candidates for
city offices in the past.
AS a natural consequence OF this ir-
responsible system any person, wheth-
er he had any qualifications for Office
or not, who felt that he had a special
call to serve his city could secure
enough petitioners to nominate him
self. 1t was with the intention of do
ing away with such irresponsible
methods that the Republicans met in
convention last spring to nominate
a complete ticket.
Although that convention was call
ed too late to secure a complete or
ganization throughout the city and
make an aggressive campaign, yet it
demonstrated to the citizens Of Mari
eta that parties are as essential to a
good city government as they are in
state and national politics, but the idea
that the selection of city candidates on
party lines means the adoption OF
platform Incorporating chat particular
party's views on questions OF tarlfI,
currency, etc, is utterly absurd. The
nearer we approach strict party lines
on the vital questions of municipal
government. the less corrupt will be
our officials.

Don't Wet Your Pencil.

Most persons in using lead pencils
wet their pencils by alternately plac-
ing the lead to the tongue and then
to the paper, with the idea that the
pencil writes a denser black. The
notion is wholly wrong, and the habit
destroys the lead in the pencil by
forming crust on the lead so that
on the outside of the lead is always a
hard crust or glaze that makes a soft
lead hard. Always do without the
wetting process and your lead will be
satisfactory.

Andrew Jackson Descended
From an Irish Father.

To the Editor of the Sun-Slr: Your
correspondent, America" is too hasty
in calling down Congressman De Ar
mon for styling Andrew Jackson an
Irish-American The truth is Jack
son gloried in his Irish ancestry. Let
me state single instance.
Jackson visited Boston in June,
1888, while President of the United
States, and stopped at the fremont
House. On the 22d OF that month
the Charitable Irish Society of Boston
founded 1880 visited him in a body
and presented an address Of welcome.
In replying President Jackson said
81 feel much gratlfed, sir, at this
testimony of respect shown me by the
Charitable Irish Society of this city.
1t is with great pleasure that l see so
many of the countrymen of my father
assembled on this occasion. have
always been proud of my ancestry,
and of being descended from that no
BILE race, and rejoict that l am so
nearly allied to country which has
so much to recommend 1t to the good
wishes of the world. Would to God,
sir that Irishmen on the other side of
the water enjoyed the comforts, hap
piness, contentment and liberty that
enjoy here!"
Then, taking President Boyd, of the
society, by the hand, Jackson contln-
ued: Il am somewhat fatigued, sir,
as you may notice; but cannot allow
you to part with me until | shake
hands with you, which l do for your
self and the whole society. l assure
you, sir, there are few circumstances
that have given me more heartfelt
satisfaction than this visit. l shall
remember it with pleasure, and 1 hope
you, sir. and all your society will long
enjoy health and happiness
The above can be found in the pub
lished records of the society in Cul-
lens Story of the Irish in Boston, -
Page Al, and in Boston newspapers of
the period.

demption Of Water Works Bonds,


An adjourned session OF the City
Council was held last evening. the

tion of the resolution for the issue and

demptior of $4,000 worth of water
works bonds. The following members
were present: Blume, Curtis, Eve
leigh, .LofIland. Lorenz, Marsch, storck
Strain and Wood.

The resolution provides for the issue
of 100000 worth of 20-year bonds,
bearing interest at 3h per cent, to be
known as Waterworks refunding
bonds. The resolution was adopted
without a dissenting vote.
DIR. Curtis stated that some time ago
committee had been appointed to in
vestigate the matter OF certain ad-
ditions now outside of city limits. He
said that they had found that the mat
ter was not started early enough to Sc
cure the advantages to the city of hav-
ing these additions annexed in time to
have them classed as part of the city
by the next census or to have the prop
erty appraised on a city basis at the
decennial appraisement this year. He
also advised the careful consideration
Of the matter by members of the Coun-
Gil as the annexation of some addi-
tions would entail heavy expense for
improvement.
On Marschs motion, the Clerk was
authorized to advertise for bids for
paving Hart, Wayne, Sixth and Mon
roe streets.
Mr.. Strain stated that pavements on
Church street between Second and
Fourth had been flooded by reason of
the roadway being higher than the
pavement and that the residents were
complaining The matter was referred
to the street Committee.
Mr.. Eveleigh spoke of the danger of
fire from the tar and oil empted into
Gooose Run at the Gas Plant and on
motion committee of three-Eve-
leigh, Strain and Storck, were ap-
| pointed to consider the matter
On motion the Street Commissioner
was instructed to make temporary
cinder walk between Front street and
the railroad bridge.
The Engineer was instructed to
draw plans and specifications fer a
pavement on Butler street from Front

The Street Commissioner was in
structed to notify builders at the cor
ner of Second and Scanned streets to
keep pavement in passable condition.
Mr. Stcrk made a motion that the
janitor be instructed to purchase a
waite rcooler and glasses for the Coun-
Gil chamber Mr.. Eveleigh thought
that the kind of cooler should be spe-
Gifted and Mr.. Storck added as an
amendment that the Janitor buy the
cooler subject to the approval of the
Building Committee. The motion car
ried, Strain voting against.
Council then adjourned.

Ellis GIenn's Alleged Brother
Said to Have Been in Park
erSbufg Last Week.

Elbert Glenn the mysterious broth-
er OF Ellis Glenn, who she says is re-
sponslble for all the crimes with
which she is charged, has been in
Parkersburg within the last few days
and has actually been in the court
room in disguise since the trial of FL
lis Glenn was commenced last week.
Such, at least, is the assertion OF her
counsel, Charles T. Caldwell.
It will be remembered that the per-
son who lived at Marietta and Will
Jamestown and who had the business
transactions with VIM. Richardson
for which Ellis Glenn is now under in
dictment was known as Bert Glenn, or
Elbert Glenn or e. b. Glenn, and. was
known as a man! Ellis Glenn, the wom-
an, claims that she has brother 81
bert b. Glenn, who looks very much
like her, and that 1t must have been
he who lived in Wiliamstown, as she
never did.
This brother. though often heard of
since her arrest, has been by many
people considered a myth, but Mr..
Caldwell says that he cannot only
prove by witnesses that he does exist,
but that if the worst comes to the
worst he can produce Bert himself, al
though this will not be done unless it
is necessary. to save his sister from
the penitentiary
Bert Glenn, Mr.. Caldwell says, has
been in Parkersburg frequently in the
past, and since the trial of Ellis began
he has been in the court room, dis
guised Of course, to talk with her
about the case. He says that whatev-
er may be the outcome Of the case, he
can most positively prove the exist
ence of Bert Glenn, a man. He can
prove that, he says, by Miss Duke, the
Illinois girl to whom Glenn was en-
gagged to be married, and by other
persons, And in the event of Ellis
Glenn's conviction Bert Glenn will
come he says, and give himself up to
save his sister from the penitentlary.
She once saved him from the pen and
he will do as much for her if it be-
comes necessary.
Mr.. Caldwell says there was no mis-
take about the conviction of Ebert
Glenn in Illinois, but that he was
switched" while on the way to the
penitentiary; his sister in masculine
attire was substituted for him and he
got away. Now if she should he con-
vlcted for crime that he must be
guilty of, If either of them is, he
would come to her rescue in the same
way.
But he does not look for this to
happen, as he says Ellis can prove
conclusively that she was travelling
in England as gypsy queen at the
time the forgery is alleged to have
been committed and that she never
was in Williamstown.- n.-Sentinel.
