AN APT ANSWER.
One That silenced n Dragging skip
per who Lacked In
Courage.

The dangers associated with the
fishing industry on the Newfoundland
banks are many and grave. Foremost
among them is that the dories may be
upset while fishing, which involves the
almost inevitable loss of their occu-
pants. Callous captains, secure them
selves from the necessity of going, fire.
quently order their men out when the
weather does not warrant IL and disas-
ters are the result. One Of these brutal
shippers was aptly answered last year
by bankman, of whose courage or ca
pacity there was no question, relates
the Little Chronicle.
"Out with you" shouted the captain.
"Hurry up there. It's fine fishing
day."
ooh, no, skipper" replied the dory-
man. sits too stormy to-day for boat
to fish,"
Nonsense, man." rejoined the skip
per. "If my old grandmother from
Provincetown was here to-day she'd
get her dory out"
"Then, skipper" said the man, eff her
grandson will come out with me now
I'll haul my trawl."
1t is needless to say that no dories
were launched from the schooner on
that date.

equality now prevailing, the hands Of
the legislature being tied just as firmly
DIS before. Why Will II not be better
to set aside per capita income for the
primary school fund, devcting the ex-
cess of tax collected from the so-called
Specific tax properties" to the general
fund. and thereby relieve the proper
ty which alone contributes to the gen
eral fund at this time. IL this propo-
stlon meets the view Of the leglsla-
ture, constitutional amendment
should be submitted limiting the
amount the state Is required to pay
to the primary schools to some
certain portion Of the tax collected
from the corporations now paying spe-
clfc taxes, the remainder to be COW
cred into the general fund of the state.
Economy.
In calling your attention to economy
In the conduct of public affairs, l adj
wise the practice of an economy Of the
kind which appeals to every business
man, farmer and householder. 1t Is
of no value to secure fair and equal
assessments II the expenses Of the
state are not brought to an economical
basis, and 1t should be borne In mind
that appropriations regulate the tax
rate. The appropriations should be
such as will commend themselves to
the people as necessary, and If the af-
fairs of the commonwealth are con-
Quoted along this line the people will
congratulate themselves upon having

Fire Warden system.

There Is great merit in the PROPOSE
ton that the legislature should enact
n law creating state fire warden sys-
TEN, seeking through such legislation
to prevent in part at least the enor-
nous destruction Of property annual
ly recorded for Michigan. If there is
merit in the saying that penny saved
Is penny earned, then there Is rea-
son for legislation which is intended
to prevent the loss Of wealth to the
state. 1t is argued that an efficient
system Of state supervision will aid In
keeping fire insurance rates at the min
imum.

GENERAL REVIEW
 OF WEEKS TRADE Business Continues to Expand
 in the South STEADY DEMAND FOR STEEL Premium for Quick Delivery of Af- fected Products Are Higher-Pig
 Iron Is Also In Much
 Better Demand.
STEADY DEMAND FOR STEEL

New York. September 6.-Bradstreets tomorrow will say:
 Trade advices are. as a rule, very good Business continues to expand at the South. Specially marked features are the reports of a large seasonable distri- button, heavy shipments and improved collections from leading Western cen ters All measures of trade demand point to the maintenance of general business on scale not heretofore equal- ed for this time of year, while failures, though more numerous than last year, are less hurtful than one of two months ago. Industrial disturbances are not cutting the figure they did earlier. Prices for the fourth successive month have advanced and are now well up to the highest of the year.
 Steel product demand steadily grows and premiums for quick delivery of af- fected products mount up Much of the business usually offering has been mere ly postponed and great activity awaits the re-opening of the mills Pig iron is in better demand at nearly all markets and foundry and forge iron are in larger demand, even at Pittsburg.
 Jobbers' stocks of finished goods are badly broken The cotton trade is in an interesting position. The actual yield In the season just closed was 10,SS3,ooO bales valued at nearly $5oO,OOOOOO.. The latest government report shows that on l7OOO,- 900 out of 27, 900 acres planted the con- dition Is better than a year ago, and the outlook is, therefore, for somewhat larger yield than last year.
 Corn is slightly stronger on improving speculative interest, while oats are steady. Hog products are higher. The statistical position of lard is very strong. Raw sugar is further demoralized at 1-16c lower on the weak centrifugal, being at the lowest point In four years. Upper leather dealers are yielding to the inevit able and some asking prices are fully 1 cent better than a month ago. Hides are advancing Talk of higher prices for shoes is heard.

DUN,S REVIEW.

New York, September 6.-R. G. Dun &
 Co.'S review of trade tomorrow will say:
 holiday reduced the volume of legiti-
 mate business, while speculative opera tions were seriously curtailed by the gen. eral closing of exchanges from Friday af-
 ternoon to Tuesday morning. In the movement of merchandise and in many manufacturing lines there has been effort
 to make up the loss by working over time, but the weeks record will fall be- hind those immediately preceding. Actual sales of many iron and steel products are recorded at material advances and the tone throughout Is hardened by vigorous demand Placing of sample orders for spring footwear is of such character as to indicate a healthy market, and some jobbers are so anxious for early delivery that contracts are being closed now De- spite more activity in the market for cot ton goods and placing of government con- tracts, the staple shows no great strength Although unsettled in tone
 little alteration occurred in the principal cereals. Trading was restricted and there was an apparent disinclination to assume an aggressive stand on either side of the market. Commercial failures in August

MINISTER'S TALK
 OF WAR AND PEACE
EcumenicaI Conference Holds a Stormy SesSion-Dis-
 cuSsed South Africa

London, September GA stormy meet Ing of the Ecumenical Methodist confer ence resulted today from the reading by Rev. c. W. Smith of Pittsburg. Pa, Of paper on 'The Influence of Methodism in the Promotion of International Peace"
 The five minute rule was adopted and the pastors made many fiery speeches for and against the war in South Africa The campaign came in for lot of criti- cism, and finally the chairman ruled ref erence to 1t out of order. Many Ameri- cans took part in the discussion, but none of the more prominent bishops spoke. The speeches were punctuated by frequent noisy interruptions, and cheers and counter-cheers. There was a scene Of considerable disorder and the discussion terminated without any conclusion being reached.
 The Rev. George Elliott of Detroit, say ing he had often been called a little American, bitterly denounced the war.
 The Rev. R. J. Cook of Chattanooga defended the necessity of hostilltes to vlndicate principle.
 The Rev J. M. King of Philadelphia said the best solution of the question was in President McKinley's sentences, ut tered at Buffalo, as follows:
 The period of exclusiveness is past The expansion of our trade and commerce is the pressing problem. A policy of good will and friendly trade relations will pre- vent reprisals. Reciprocity treaties are n harmony with the spirit of the times, roaans of retaliatio are not"
 The reading of President McKinley's re- marks brought forth loud applause.
 Robert Perkins a member of Parlia- ment. contractor and vice president of the Liberal Imperial Council, deprecated the uselessness of clerical manffestoes. He believed that such wars were necessary but the growing tendency toward unnec' essary strife was due greatly to the in' fuence of corrupt, unlicensed journalism.
 The Rev E. E. floss of Nashville said 1t would be impertinence for the confer ence to tell Great Britain what to do in South Africa.
