A COMMERCIAL WAR.

A few days ago a Vienna dispatch
had held a meeting and protested
against the opening of American shoe
stores there. In our dispatches yes
terday there was an account of the
draft of the new German tariff law. It
appears Germany has increased great
ly her customs rates upon American
products. particularly American ma
chinery.
1t looks as il a tariff war was immi-
nent between the United States, and
the countries of Europe. A Washing
ton dispatch in the Morning News yes
terday stated that our imports during
the fiscal year ending June 30 last,
ports reached the enormous sum of
S1.4S7, 1855, sol.
The amount of our exports is alarm
ing EurOpe-exports that exceed so
greatly our imports. European states
men see that if this condition of af-
fairs continues very long practically
the gold of all the world will find its
way TO this country. 1t cannot be
otherwise. If we sell hundreds of
millions of dollars worth annually more
than we buy it stands to reason that
the wealth of the world will come to
us.
That Europe is becoming alarmed is
shoemakers and the new tariff schedule
of Germany-a schedule that Is doubt
less intended to cut down imports from
the United States.
Prominent American recently return
ed from Europe say that on the CONT
nent there is strong feeling in favor
of forming an offensive and defensive
tariff alliance against the United
States. Indeed. it is stated that steps
in the direction of such an alliance
have already been taken.
1t is probable that an alliance of that
kind would now be in existence IL it
were not for the attitude of Great Brit
ain in regard to it. The indifference of
that Power in the matter is the sub
ject of a great deal of comment in the
capitals of continental Europe, where
it is not understood. But is IL not
probable that in time Great Britain
will act in harmony with other Euro
pean Powers in tariff matters, and in
opposition to the United States? Is it
not likely that the time is close at
hand when the United States will be
engaged in a commercial war with
the whole of Europe? 1t certainly
looks so. 1t is not dificult to predict
the outcome of such a war. 1t Is in
evitable that the United States will
be victorious. though the war may be
a long one. The seat of the empire OF
wealth is TO be in the new world.

Senator Jones, chairman of the Dem
ocratic National Committee, seems dis
posed to accept the view that Hon.
Henry Watterson has been expressing
relative TO the next nominee of the
Democratic party for President, name
~, that the nominee is likely to be
some obscure person-that is some per-
son who has not figured conspicuousiy
in public life. In view of the fact that
Senator Jones and Mr.. Watterson have
not been in close touch politically since
Mr.. Bryan came to the front as the
party's leader. it seems a little curious
that they should be in harmony as to
the probability that the party's next
presidential candidate will be COM
paratively unknown man.
1t is true that, excepting ex-senator
Hill of New York. there is no man
about whom Democrats gener-
ally are thinking for the
presidency. Once in a while the
name of some man of more or less
prominence is mentioned, but it does
not attract enough attention to excite
discussion. It is believed that Mr.
Hill is pla aning to get the nomination.
though nobody appears to be in a posi-
ton to say what his intention is.
1t is almost certain that a man now
obscure will not get the nomination
unless he does something that will at
tract the attention of the entire coun-
try before the meeting of the nomi-
mating convention. Polk, Pierce, Lin
coin, Tilden, Cleveland and Bryan
have all been mentioned as instances
of obscure men being nominated for
President. all of them being elect
ed except Bryan, but as a matter of
fact every one of them was pretty well
known to the country before being
made the standard bearer of his party
Probably Pierce was the least known
of any of them, but even he had held
prominent positions in civil and MILL
tary life. 1t may be that he was not
looked upon as a great man, but it Is
certain that he was not an unknown
one.
There is time of course for an OBJ
scure man to come to the front, though
just dl pltSSHl IL uOeS not look as II
there would be any great question be-
fore the country within the next three
years that would offer man an oppor-
tunity to make a reputation for him
self big enough to impress the entire
people. Stin, there may be such an
opportunity. A great question is like
ly to be sprung upon the country at
any time.
Senator Jones must think it would
not be advisable to nominate one of
those who have been candidates for
the nomination for years. He may
have nothing against them, but he may
believe that no one of them would
stand as good chance of being elect
ed as a man comparatively unknown.

Taking No Chances.

''It was exciting while it lasted" said
the commercial traveller who is home
for few days, according to the De-
troit Free Fress. Now, what people
may say never causes me any uneasi-
ness; so when l saw good thing in
the new shirt waist that is all the go,
Immediately fitted myself out with a
yellow affair that rivalled the famous
sunsets that we had a number of
years ago As 1 look back at 1T now
| am satisfied that l must have left
a yellow streak through all the towns
that 1 visited, and I doubt if the ex-
element created has subsidized yet.
The candid and open comments l heard
would have caused a man with less
nerve than 1 have to blush and give
way to public opinion. But I am, made
of sterner stuff, and the frank com
ments that I heard only made me the
more determined to see the thing out.
TT remained for a hotel keeper in a
little town that | visited to take fall
out of me. / sailed up to the desk in
all the glory of my shirt waist, seized
the register, dashed down my name
and demanded the best room in the
house.
Two dollars down. said the old
man calmly, looking at me without a
CULVER of the eye.
What's that?" I shouted.
Two dollars down. he answered,
as he rescued a fly out of the ink.
"a See here I stormed. what do you
mean by demanding money in advance
of a man who has two trunks and a
grip? Haven't 1 been here a dozen
times and always paid my bills?'
Cant help that he answered. It's

"He runs the only hotel that the
town affords, or I wouldn't have argued
with him as 1 did. There was no train
out that night, and 1 had to stay
where I was, so l returned to the at
tack once more.

beat2' said 1, mad as a wet hen.

slowness. But if a man is so ALFRED

ture, and not the heat. When the bridge

run over it. These trains run at short
distances apart, and are very heavy

the traffic has increased beyond the ex-
pectations of the engineers who plann-
ed the structure. G. c. Henning, the
engineer who had charge of the con-
struction of that part Of the bridge in
which the accident occurred, is of the
opinion that the bridge is a
menace to the safety of the
people who cross it, and that
it ought to be rebuilt entirely

without stopping travel for a single

Ign bridge has had nothing done to in
crease its strength since it was first
opened many years ago.

A drama that included a good many
phases of Western border life was en-
acted on Saturday night in Green's
burg. Ind. says the Indianapolis News.
when Sheriff Davis and a deputy, both
heavily armed. went out the Michigan
road to arrest a horse thief that had
been reported as headed for Green's
burg from Shelbyville. At the city
limits the officers met horse and
buggy and commanded the driver to
halt The latter dashed the horse and
started on a run through the city, with
the officers in pursuit. The sheriff
was whipping his horse. and at every
jump there was pistol shot from the
pusurers. The chase occurred about
midnight, and the few men on the
streets were commanded by the sher-
iff to join in the race.
The clatter of the running horses,
the shouts of the men and the firing
of pistols awolxe the people In the
houses along the way. When the sup
posed thief reached a livery barn he
turned the horse in. jumped from the
buggy and hid in a pile of straw The
sheriff and a crowd of excited follow
ers poured into the barn and began to
search for the supposed thief. Mean
while the owner of the barn appeared
and identified the supposed stolen out
fit as his own. which he had hired to
Forest Edwards, the young professor
of a Birmingham. Ala, college.
Edwards had driven the horse 70
the country TO call on a young woman.
From his hiding place in the straw the
professor overheard the explanation
and ventured into view. He was so
frightened he could hardly speak. He
thought robbers were chasing him
through the streets. Two bullets
struck the buggy, and the professor
had a close call for his life. The Off
GERS say they shot into the air, but
the bullets in the buggy tell differ
ent story.

A CONSPIRACY AGAINST sCHLEY.

From our own Washington dis
patches and from the Washington dis
patches in other papers the impression
is gained that there is a conspiracy in
the navy against Schley. In fact Sem
ator Wellington of Maryland boldly
charges that there is. In his opinion,
Schley has little or no chance of get
ting justice from a court of inquiry. He
does not think. of course. that the
court win be composed of officers who
would willingly do him an injustice In
deed. he is satisfied that the court will
do all il can to discover the truth, but
he says that the Navy Department has
proofs against Schley. proofs which the
ring in that department manufactured
for the express purpose of running
him.
This is a serious charge to bring
against the Navy Department. II does
not seem to be possible that there are
records in the Navy Department which
cannot be shown to be false, if. in fact,
they are false.
1t may he true that the officers who
will compose the court of inquiry will
not have the ability to discover the
conspiracy in the Navy Department,
IL one exists. and expose the methods
for running Schley. but the latter will
undoubtedly have able counsel. He
win not lack assistance in his fight
with the navy ring. Besides the pro-
ceedings will be open and any effort
20 deal unfairly with him would be
detected and condemned.
II seems 10 us that the difficulties
that Schley viii have 20 overcome TO
get justice are magniaed. Already.

contracting tuberculosis from cattle
especially from milk. At one of the ses-
sions of the tuberculosis Congress an
American physician gave an instance
which came under his own observation
where an entire family contracted the
dread disease from milk taken from
cows afflicted with tuberculosis.
Prof. Koch's position in respect to
the matter will provoke discussion and
encourage Investigation. No doubt in
the course of time it will be determined
satisfactorily whether or not his theory
is correct. And if it should appear that
it is not doubtless some progress will
have been made in the direction of ad-
