] GREAT INCREASE IN TRADE. Due to Cordial Relations Between
 RuSSia and tha I-nited States

Washington, Feb 21.-United States Consul Winter at Annaberg. Germany, has transmitted to the state depart ment a translation of an article which recently appeared in a German pulp licauon bearing upon Russian-Ameri can trade, and the eXportation of American machinery to Russia in par Iicular. The article is as follows:
 ''The increase in the trade of the United States with Russia is notice able. This is due to the cordial rela- lions which exist between these two countries, and to the less friendly at titude of Russian merchants towards the manufacturers of other countries. The greater part of the orders for the Siberian railway has been placed III the United States. Another large order, amounting to S595,O0O in value, has just been placed in America for machinery to cut 2. tunnel of about one and one-half miles in length not far from Charbin. in Manchuria. The tunnel Is to be finished in one years lime. Direct connections then will be completed between Europe and Vladi- Fostock. The United States has out distanced Germany in the markets of Russia"
 New York, Feb 21.-Russia's min- ister of finance. $. J. De Witte. was asked the following questions relative 10 the sugar question by the Journal nnd Advertiser:
 Are the additional duties just inn posed upon American products con- fined to American goods, or are they part of a general tariff which hereto fore has been delayed in our favor?
 "1s there any truth in the report published here that Russia's action is the beginning of the anti-American crusade foreshadowed by Count Goluchowski?
 What are the facts about Russias s system of internal taxes and rebates on sugar which has been represented as equivalent to a bounty on exports :?
 If Russia really paid q bounty on exports, would she have any objection to the exaction of corresponding duty here, as in the case of German Sugarl''
 A reply in French was received, the translation being as follows:
 By order of the minister of finance. the industrial section has the honor 10 announce:
 A lowered tariff, the same as that upon the products of countries with which commercial treaties had been concluded was applied to American products. To-day instead of the con- ventional tariff, the general tariff with the additional duties is applied to American products.
 This measure, having been taken exclusively for economic motives, has for its sole purpose the defence of the commercial interests of Russia.
 Russia sugar is subject to an in- direct impost applying only to inter- nal consumption and this impost does not nPply to sugar exported to foreign countries.
 No bounty to encourage this ex- port of sugar exists in Russia

A Newspapers Enemies.

A newspaper without enemies is
hardly deserving of friends. The
vicious and lawless never like a
bold, fearless paper, and every self
respecting editor should be proud
of their enmity. There are other
newspaper foes, however, who are
far more troublesome and conse-
quently more to be feared. First
and foremost is man who owes q
newspaper an honest debt and will
not pay it. Then there is the am
bilious mortal who wants an office
and complains because the news
paper cannot consistently champion
him; he is pretty likely to become
an enemy. The man who wants
to shape the policy of a newspaper
and is not allowed to do SO, is a
sure enemy. But the meanest man
of all is the one whom a newspaper
has befriended, and who deliberate
ly condemns the sheet after secur-
ing from it all the assistance he
possibly can. The newspaper can
to some extent respect an open and
avowed enemy, but an migrate is
beneath contemplate.

A Substitute for Timber.

The discovery for substitute for
wood ties for railroad use would mater
tally aid in the preservation of the
forests. Practically, every tie destroys
young tree of several years growth.
The steam and electric railroads be-
tween them exhaust the suitable tree
growth of large area every year.
Frederick w. Dunnell has patented
leather tie, by which he expects to uti-
lize the waste leather of the country.
He claims that his discovery makes
better tie, one that will last thrice as
long, and is but a trife more costly than
the wooden tie. The Bessemer railroad
has resolved to experiment with steel
ties, something wholly new. This road
is in position to make the most thorough
experiments. Should the attempt to
find substitute for the wooden tie fail,
the recourse seems to be the cultivation
of tie trees 1t is suggested that de-
nuded forests lands could be sowed to
acorns and crop harvested in reason
able time. 1t is q question, says
writer, ifrailroads could not buy mount
ain lands in many places on their lines
and plant oak trees for ties with profit.
Farmers with woodland near railroad
could make second-growth white oak
the most profitable crop on the place if
they cared to look SO TAR ahead. For
the matter, with the destruction of
forests is likely that the planting of
any kind of trees on large scale would
prove profitable to the man with wild
land which he does not want to clear

"Svingali," the hypnotist has
gained widespread prominence in
this state the past week, because of his
efforts to solve the mysterious disap-
pearance of John Rohn, a wealthy

believed to have been murdered.
1t will be gratifying to the friends of
Prof A. L. L. Suhrie to know that he
was re-engaged as Supervisory Princi-
pal of st. Marys schools at $3.50 per
month. This is very substantial in
crease.
Prof. Suhrie was few years ago,
connected with the Emporium high
school as assistant principal. In this
position ne was very successful and
won the confidence and respect of all
pupils.
For the past two years Mr.. Suhrie
has been at the head of the st. Marys
school, and, as evidenced by the board
of education, has been successful in
the highest degree.
By his untiring energy and superior
scholarship he has kept the st. Marys
schools abreast the times, and by the
same earnestness and efficiency will be
able to keep the schools in the van of
educational progress.

Letter to Ernest Williams.

emporium, Ta.
Dear Sir: Ira Gould, painter in
Colebrook, N. H., bought of our agent
there, Wesley Wentworth, gallons of
paint, thinned it down with two gallons
of oil, and gave his own house one coat.
Every painter in town declared he
had painted two coats.
"That's all the far the story goes"
as Uncle Remus says. We don't know
whether it made good job or not; but
the painter thought it did. We should
call it printing. Maybe the house
didn't need painting. A priming coat
is enough if put on often enough.
But if Ira Gould had set out to do us
favor, he couldn't have done much
better. One printing coat of Devoe is
enough to make painters say, "He's
been painting two coats; and wants us
to think he has done it with one, and
that half oil ! No thank YOU"
We don't know Mr.. Gould but we
know Mr.. Wentworth. Guess the
story is straight.
Yours truly,
Al F. w. DEvoE & Co.

The old maid stood on the steam
boat deck, whence all but she had
fled, and calmly faced a kissing bug
that circled overhead. The maidens
shrieked and the matrons swooned
and the men all swore amen, but the
game old maid like a hero stayed and
whispered come again." There was
a buzz-a thunder sound-the old
maid: was she dead? Nit; she stood
and cried for more, but the kissing
bug had fled. Elk.

One of the most effective means OF
promoting the better understanding of
farmers and educators, says the Farm
Magazine, is the local press. Under
the influence of the syndicate there
has been in the more thickly settled
portions of the country, deterioration
of the country papers. There re.
main, though, in Mississippi, as in
other parts, weekly papers which rep.
resent the labor and the origina,
thought of their editors, and which
are therefore the more potent in effect
upon their readers. They talk tC
home folks about home matters, anC
are among the best influences for good
or i'll in a state when acting collect,
lively, as any keen politician will ac
knowledge. A persistent campaign
on their part for farmers institutes
will bring Prof. Welborn's hopes to a
mighty realization.

VAST MORGAN. HANNA COMBINE.

The SENTINEL contained last week
a mention of a visit by Mark Hanna
to j. p. Morgan ito pay his respects. 4"
We predicted that this practically
meant another combine. Well, this
wasn't far wrong as recent press
dispatches say that a combination of
the Pennsylvania railroad, American
Transport line, Chesapeake and Ohio
fleet of ocean steamers sailing from
Newport News and a majority of the
shipping of the great lakes is said to
have been the object of that visit.
n combination of interests thus
formed in conjunction with the Ley
land line deal would give the pro-
motors and the new combination the
transportation from the lakes and
West practically to Europe. If the
American line should come into the
deal it's vessels and those of the Ley
land line would form a fleet that
would be a formidable rival to the
Cunard, White Star and German
lines. And still the Morgan-Hanna
combines grow in number. They
will own the world with a fence around
if they live long enough.

The Omaha Bull Fight.

The Governor of Nebraska having
lent his presence and c%ountenance to
the South Omaha bull fight, says the
Chicago American, the prosecuting
attorney of the county thinks that
he is not called upon to take action
against the men that have managed
the show in violation of the law.
This position is, of course, illogical
and foolish, but not so hard to under
stand.
1t illustrates the harm that may be
done by one man with little brains
and a hard head.
The name of the Governor of
Nebraska is Savage.
q. We have not often encountered an
instance where a mans patronymic
seemed more appropriate.
We are curious to know just what
the people of Nebraska think of their
Savage.
