 There Is something very catchy in the phrase "society circus, something that makes one feel that it would be very un- fashionable not to be seen there, that of all the proper things to do one must not over look the society circus. "So- ciety" inspires columns in the newspa- pers; circus or circuses inspires miles of advertising; a combination of the two is simply irresistible. I was asked to "get a story about the Athletic Clubs society circus" which will be the dram attic social event of the week, The re- suit was that I was told so many things that I feel that have beeen gazing at three rings, each with a continuous per- formance.
 The society circus will be given Tuesday afternoon and evening at the Jefferson Theatre, the partic- ipants includinb so many promi- ncnt society persons that the occasion will be quite fashionable. Then, every one is interested in the plans of the Athletic Club for their new club house, and the entertainment for the clubs benefit will interest hundreds of friends. Altogether the society circus will be the most suc- cessfu1 entertainment ever given under the auspicies of the Birmingham Athletic Club.

ITS SHORT MEMORY.
rhe Democracy Forgets All About Its
Fight ON the Anti-BeIIum
Cuban Question.

EX-Gov. Stones recent remarks on
the desirability of the annexation of
Cuba leads the st. Paul Pioneer Press
to say that if Cuba sets up for itself un-
der republican administration 1.-The
democracy will point to the fact as the
result of republican laundering. wholly
regardless of the fact that democratic
opposition prevented any intervention
in behalf of the Cubans until repub-
lican leaders had yielded a reluctant
consent TO the famous 'self-denying
pledge of our pronouncement against
Spain, which bars us from anneXing the
island" The Pioneer Press predicts
that the democratic party will raise a
clamor that Cuba was lost through
republican weakness and mis-
management, and the history of
that party warrants the opinion. Sen
ator Hoar has declared. upon his own
knowledge of the circumstances, that
Bryan's trip to Washington when the
Spanish treaty neared a vote was to
urge senator's with whom he had the
moral influence to support the treaty
in the belief that it would be disastrous
and so improve the prospects of the OPP
position.
With its proverbially short memory
the democratic party has ceased to con-
slider the fight it made, just before the
declaration of war with Spain, to recog-
nize Cuba as an existing republic. The
report of the senate committee on for
eign relations, on April 13, 1895. signed
by five republicans and one democrat,
did not go far enough to suit democrat
ic ideas. so there was amiu ority report,
signed by three democrats and one re-
publican. recognizing the republic of
Cuba as the true and lawful govern
ment of the island. The resolutions as
finually passed by congress stopped
short of the immediate recognition of
Cuban republic demanded by the
democrats, but it was the prolonged
and heated contest on that point that
resulted in the insertion of the self
denying pledge" by the conference
committee. If the democrats had had
their way the United States would have
gone into the war with a declaration
that Cuba was already republic and a
sovereignty; and the mind can scarcely
conceive all the complications to which
that wild absurdity would have led

Missourians win.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The United
States supreme court yesterday rem
dered an opinion in the case of the
Chicago drainage canal. overruling
state of Illinois and the Chicago
drainage canal district board. The
proceeding was brought by the state
of Missouri against the state of Illi-
nois and the drainage board, the end
sought being to prevent the use of
the canal because of its supposed
pollution of the drainage water of
st. Louis. The effect of the decision
sustains the contention of Missouri.

RECORD OF PROTECTION.
Worked Out Its Own Sal
VatiOn.

No other principle of government has
worked out its own salvation TO an
equal degree with protection. which is
now accepted as a settled policy except
by the few who are so ignorant as to
believe that an unfavorable balance of
trade makes no difference with the
general prosperity of the people of
the country having an unfayorable bal
ance. The American people enjoyed
an uneXcelled degree of prosperity dur
ing the year 1900, and the final official
reports will show that the balance of
trade in favor of the United States was
larger than ever before. The report
for the port of New York was made by
Dun's Review of recent date. That re
port states that the aggregate value of
the exports from that port during 1900
was S577,1 ,9S1. while the imports ag-
gregated but S531 .93S.107. which makes
the balance of trade in favor of the port
of New York during the year $45 .22S.-
S74, or nearly 81 goo, 600 per week. The
advantage of that large favorable bal
ance of trade to the increased general
prosperity of last year is sufficiently
shown by the trade balance at that
port for each of the past eightyears:

La Grippe is epidemic catarrh.-It spares
no class or nationality. The cultured and

per. The masses and the classes are alike
subject to la grippe. None are exempt-all

Have you the grip? Or, rather, has the
grip got you? Grip is we'll named The
original French term, la grippe, has been
shortened by the busy American to read

word has been coined that exactly describes
the case. As if some hideous giant with
awful Grip had clutched us in its fatal clasp.
Men, women, children, whole towns and

Dun's Review called attention TO the
fact that the significance of the com
parison of 1900 with the other years
named is increased by the further fact
that "only 4G.4 per cent. of the total eX-
posts of the country pass out through
the port of New York, while CAT per
cent. of the total imports enter here"
An examination of the foregoing com
parison should be interesting to every
person who desires the continued gen
eralprosperity of all the people who are
willing to work their hands and their
brains, yet it is true that visionary the
orists will assert that the balance of
trade does not affect the conditions of
the people, Notwithstanding every man
who can read knows that when he pays
out more money than he receives the
balance is on the wrong side of his cash
book, and he is operating under condi-
tions which lead to bankruptcy and
poverty. Iowa. State Register.

which was accentuated after the publi-

tionS as to further expansion in loans
were not borne out, the statement on
the contrary showing a decrease in this

good showing, however, was more than
Offset by loss in cash of s2,71S,OOO
which was quite unexpected, as the
estimate yesterday figured on a gain
of nearly $3.50, ,000, 900. Some uneasiness
was also felt at the efforts making to
close various steel mills, which have
continued in operation since the strike
was declared. Persistent selling of the
United States Steel stocks, which made
extreme declines of 7s and is respec-
lively for the common and preferred,

Prices yielded steadily from the out
set, especially for the grangers, Paci-
fics, local fractions, Sugar and Anal
gamated Copper. which were lowered
from 1 to points. The Southern and
the anthracite and bituminous coal
roads stocks also relapsed sharply
An incident of the day was the pro-
nounced weakness in the sterling ex-
change market, offerings of all class of
bills being very large with scarcely any
inquiry. Demand bills were marked
down to 4.S6A, but long sterling was

there was more general purchases of
