CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record (Dem) says:
In a letter to the Philadelphia Press.
Booker T. Washington speaks very en-
couraginsly of the trea tment of colored
people by their white neighbors in the
South. He says, among much else that
is of interest: In any case I have non
seen single colored man who had Sc
cured intellectual and moral properties.
and had a high character who did NOT
have the respect and confidence of the
white people where he lived on the
whole it has been long observed that well
behaved colored men are much better
treated In the South than in the North
The negroes will be treated better still
in both regions when they shall cease TO
be used as mere voting cattle by one
party az the expense of the other"
The New Orleans Picayune DEM says.
The Southern states of the Union are
far behind those Of the North in all the
textile industries, nevertheless. progress
is being made in all departments. The
South grows all the cotton the South
produces much of the wool, while the eli
mate and vegetation Of the Southern
states are admirably adapted to the Gull
ture of silk worms. The day will come
without doubt, when the Southern states
will be pre-eminent In all SORES of spin
ming and weaving; but time will be re-
CURED for its contamination"
The Providence Or. - Journal Cnd.-
Rep) says: When the President de.
scribed the Democratic partys policy
abroad as one of 'scutte' he came near
to giving his enemies term for his
own Chinese policy. The President CON
demned himself out Of his own mouth
with plain duty and backward STEP He
should beware Of 'scuttle.'"
The Portland tMe) Argus (Rep) says:
"rhe European greed for grab is al the
bottom of the troubles in China. But We
live in a glass house and cannot afford 10

argument IN its favor.

The wonderful development of cleo
tricity within the past decade has had its
eff ct upon all those branches of industry
drawn upon to furnish electrical sup
plies, but perhaps none has hid so great
a boom as that of copper-mining. There
has recently been published in Germany
an interesting book entitled "A Century
of Copper" which shows that the United
States now furnishes more than half of
all the copper used in The world. While
the production has increased with great
rapidity in other countries, in none has
the copper industry developed so rapidly
as in the United States. In 1890 the
total value of copper manufactured was
only 2.349. 1902 in 1899 it had increased
to S35 .9S3, 529. In 1890 we exported 90

sending Money by Mail.

Among the minor needs of the Amerl-
can people is some safe and simple meth
cd of sending small sums of money by
mail. Bank checks do not serve the pur
pose, for not every one who has occasion
20 send money has bank account to
draw against and not every recipient of
a check is within a convenient distance
of bank which will cash it. The regis
tered letter is not a very convenient
way of sending money. For small sums,
the registration fee of eight cents is a
large tax, while for large sums the
method is pIecarious, as the government
liability, if registered letter goes as
tray. is limited to ten dollars. Money
orders are widely used, but as the small
est fee is three cents, this is quite a
heavy toll on sums less than one dollar,
and there is, besides, the Inconvenience
of a visit to the pOstofllce to make the re-
quisite arrangements. That so many
people keep sending banknotes. postage
stamps or coins in letters to settle small
bills, taking the chances of theft or ac-
cident by the way, is largely due to the
absence of cheap and convenient methods
of securing the safe transmission of
small sums.
1t is to meet this need that bills have
been introduced into both houses of con,
gress TO introduce system of United
States "pOst check notes, in denomna-
tions ranging from five cents TO five dol
lars. Each of these notes would be like
a bank check, except that II would be
drawn on the government Instead of on
bank. 1t would have the name of the

Increase of Nermont's summer Business.
Rutland NeMs.l


There has been considerable discussion
recently among the Vermont papers rela-
tive To the matter of developing this
states summer resort business. Some of
the papers. particularly the Burlington
News, have taken the ground that these
resources could not be developed without
hotels, and hotels could not exist as long
as there was a prohibitory law on the
statute books. In this discussion, as the
Middlebury REGISTER points out, one
fact has been lost sight of That is the
fact that is patent to every one who has
followed the trend of events, that in
many sections of the state the hotel bust
ness has largely increased within the
last year or two. New hotels and sum
mer resorts have been opened and old
houses enlarged and moderniZed. Every
first class resort in this section of the
state. Lake BOmoseen. Woodstock. Lake
Dunmore, sudbury, Manchester had to
turn away large numbers of city people
last season for lack of accommodations.
Thus 1t seems that the summer resort
attractions of Vermont will draw the
business if the facilities for entertaining
and taking care of the people who will
cope are equal to all demands upon
them. Infuse the utmost energy into
booming Vermont as the ideal summer
resort and success will attend the effort.
whatever the sumptuarv laws may be.
