Our "Frlendship" with Great
Britain.

Ex.President Benjamin Harrison
in discussing ous sentimental rela-
tions with England in an article in
this months North American Re-
view says that "should we present
a.cIaim of suzerainty or paramount
oy over Cuba, similitude to the
South African situation might be
found"
The ex-President bitingly CON-
siders the present state of "friend-
ship" with Britain, saying:
81 is quite logic to use the re-
cent display of friendliness by
Great Britain as a sponge with
which to wipe from the tablets of
memory the decisive Intervention
of France during the revolution
and the helpful friendliness of
Russia during the civil war.
Washington did not allow graft
tude to France for an armed and
saving intervention in our behalf,
to be used as the basis of an alli-
ance that would bring us into
European entanglements; and can
we now allow the friendly monin-
tervention of Great Britain during
the Spanish war-whioh involved
no cost to her-to be so used2
"The Fronoh demands upon our
gratitude were thought to be ex-
cessive, though they did not insist
upon permanent naval base in
New York harbor."

The fall from Cincinnati to New
Albany, just below the Louisville

28- foot descent, making the drop
from Cincinnati to Louisvill 39
feet-less than that of any similar

Markets.
CHICAGO, March 8. President
Mitchell, of the United Mine
Workers of America, in discussing
the production of coal in the State
of West Virginia and it's effect up
on the coal industry in the other
GOAL producing states said:
at is apparent to every one in-
terested in the mining industry
that the West Virginia operatorsi
are being favored by the railroads
hauling coal from that state. II a
thorough Investigation is made /
am satisfied that it will be shown
that the Interstate commerce law
is being violated, and that as a re-
suit the welfare of all those de-
pendent upon the coal industry in
other states is being seriously men-
aoed by reason of the extraordinary
increase in West Virginia produo-
tion and the extremely low rates at
which that coal is being sold in
every market which it has invaded"

New Li0uOr Law.

The recent Legislature passed an
act of considerable importance to
liquor dealers. 1t is known as
Senate Bill No. 161, and provides
that no liquor dealer can be accept
ed as surety on another liquor deal
er's bond; also, that no one inter
eeted as stockholder, officer or
director of any corporation engaged
in the manufacture or sale of spir-
itous or malt liquors can be accept
ed as such surety. Heretofore it
has been the practice of good
many saloon keepers to go on each
others bonds, but more particular
ly the practice of the brewers to go
on the bonds of liquor dealers who
handle their product.
