Preparations for King Edwards cor
onation are now in active progress and
already the daily papers are speculat-
ing as to how the multitude of expect
ed visitors is to be cared for. The pros
poets of great influx of foreign visi-
tors who know little or nothing OF the
English language have led Barry Pain,
a. London humorous writer, to prepare
a short guide to the sentences that
they may expect to hear or may re-
quire to use. THE following" he
says, should certainly be committed
to memory"

THE kAssoN TREATIES.


The address which President McKin-
log delivered at the Pan Ameri-
can Exposition, the day before he was
fatally SHOT. has attracted wide
spread attention. II is being dis
cussed not only in this coun-
try, but also in pretty nearly
every European country. Europe is
profoundly interested in the leading
topic of the address. namely, reciproc-
ity treaties. From time to time there
have appeared in the European dis
patches statements to the effect that
European countries were preparing to
form a tariff alliance hostile to the
United States. These statements have
commanded some attention, and now
and then have been commented upon in
a way to create the impression that we
have nothing to fear from such an
alliance.
AS a matter of fact we have taken it
for granted all along that Europe was
virtually at our mercy, because she had
to have our products-at least our
grain, provisions and cotton-and we
have felt able to manufacture so cheap
ly with our improved machinery that
she would have to take our manufac-
tured products.
We got a little jolt from Russia re-
Gently which awakened us to the fact
that Europe can get along without a
great many of the things we have to
sell, and that she will make it a point
to get along without them unless we
give her a chance to sell something in
our market. 1t seems that the Presi-
dent had been of the opinion a long
time that If we are to extend our trade
in Europe we must give Europeans a
order to bring this condition of affairs
about we shall have to make a gen.
eral revision of our tariff or adopt the
reciprocity treaty system. The Presi-
dent had determined to give reciprocity
a trial, and therefore had Mr.. Kasson
negotiate a number of reciprocity
treaties.
He was astonished to find that the
Senate would not ratify a single one
of them. Mr.. Kasson resigned the
place he held, feeling that his time was
being wasted. 1t was in behalf of such
treaties as these that the Presi-
dent spoke at the Pan-American Expo
sition. One thing which he said all can
understand, and that was that other
countries cannot continue to buy of us
unless we buy of them. For instance
England is good customer of ours
but she cannot go on many years
longer taking hundreds of millions OF
dollars worth of our products annually
unless we buy something from her.
OF course the extreme protectionists
are opposed to admitting the products
of other countries to our markets on
the terms which our home products en-
joy. The home market they say must
be preserved for home products. That
was the argument that was offered
against the reciprocity treaties. 1t was
the argument that defeated them. Fol-
instance, in the reciprocity treaty with
France provision was made for the ad-
mission of French wines into this
| country on extremely favorable terms
But California said no, and enough
support to secure the ratification of the
treaty could not be obtained

MIR. Chonte Didn't Know Her.

A very well-known lawyer and his
wife were in London this summer. and
the wife had to be operated on for ap-
pendiciHs as soon as she arrived, says
the Philadelphia Post. They were great
friends of Mr.. Choate, and the ambass-
ador sent at once to inquire of her con-
dition, and kept her room supplied with
flowers.
The first day she was able to walk
out, husband and wife met the am
bassador on the street. Mr.. Choate
quickly jumped from his hanson and

SENATOR JONES HARD FIGHT.

]
Senator James X, Jones of Arkansas
| is now serving his third term. and de-
! sires a fourth. But 1t appears that
| he is not to have it without making a
| strenuous fight for it, and there is
some doubt that he will get it even
then. A true old proverb has it that
nothing succeeds like success, and Sen
ator Jones has not made a reputation
for political successes during the past
few years. In a measure the failure of
the two Bryan campaigns which he
managed as chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee weighs upon
his personal fortunes. Prior to the cleo
ton in each campaign he made the
most glowing predictions of Demo-
cratic successes, thereby misleading
his friends with respect to the strength
of their party. And now many of
them are somewhat inclined to qualify
their faith in his judgment and grasp
of public affairs.
A pretty strong opposition to the
Senator has grown up in Arkansas. 1t
is a candidate to succeed Mr.. Jones in
the Senate. Mr.. Clark is making
spirited attacks upon the Senators
record in the Senate and as the man.
ager of Mr.. Bryan's two campaigns.
He charges that Senator Jones' leader
ship of the Democratic party in the
Senate during the last two terms of
Congress was as fat a failure as mis-
leadership of the campaigns, that he
was not consistent on the matter of
imperialism" which the Democratic
platform made one of the leading is
sues, and that while denouncing trusts
before the people he has actually be-
come a member of the round cotton
bale trust. In so far as the last named
matter is concerned. it will be recalled
that Mr.. Bryan himself has declared
the round bale company is not a trust
in the ordinary acceptance of the term,
| and has absolved Senator Jones from
all blame in the matter. Nevertheless
| it is being claimed in Arkansas that
the concern is a trust, and that Sen
ator Jones is in it.

successor to Senator Jones will not it.
self be elected until next year, still
the campaign for the office has already
opened and is being prosecuted vigor-
ously. Both Senator Jones and Mr.
| Clark have taken the stump, and have
| engagements ahead of them that will
! last, with almost daily stump speak
ing, until well into November. An in
teresting story that comes out from
Little Rock is to the effect that Sen
ator Jones is being so hard pressed
that he has appealed to Mr.. Bryan to
come to his aid; and there are predic-
tions that Mr.. Bryan will find some
good reason for keeping hands off the
Arkansas fight. 1t is alleged that the
! former candidate and his manager are
not on terms of close intimacy and
mutual admiration

The strike had been on for several

South honors and reveres the memory
Of President Mckinley, for whom she

She Accented the order.

Not long ago a magazine editor re-
ceived from a young woman an arti-
Gle entitled THE Home and Sociel
Life of the Chinese" says the Chicago
Record Herald. He knew the writer
very well-so well, indeed, that he sent
her the following letter regarding the
manuscript:
My Dear Madam: The reading of
your paper on 1.-The Home and Social
Life of the Chinese" has suggested to
us the subject for a similar article
and has further suggested that you
are eminently fitted to write it. The
subject, which will of itself explain
to you the matter we desire handled,
is 1.-The Home and Social Life of the
Angels" Perhaps, with your charac-
teristic modesty you will excIaim that
you are absolutely ignorant concern
ing all matters angelic, but, in our
opinion, you are as we'll furnished with
knowledge of the beatific celestials as
you are with the celestials of China.
We will deem it a great favor and
would pay you for the same if you will
secure photographs for the illustration
of this article. If you see fit to ham
die this subject for us, and we trust
you will, and if it meets with our favor
and is found available, we shall ask
you to accept the editorship of a col
umn which we are contemplating
starting, to be headed Hints From

sake of illustration the estimates may
be permitted to stand. They total ST.,

1t will be observed that In the table
the South is treated almost wholly as
an agricultural section. 1t is given
no credit for manufacturing, save of
cotton. for mines and minerals and
for forest products. AS is very we'll
known during the past twenty years
the South has made gigantic strides in
manufacturing, especially in cotton
manufacturing. 1t has now more than
$780, 900 cotton spindles. Furthermore,
as the Manufacturers Record points
out, the South's iron production now
equals the entire iron output OF the
United States at a period as late as
1879. Her coal output is very large and
constantly increasing. She is produce
ing hundreds OF thousands of barrels
of oil every month. Her lumber trade
is vast. and in many lines of manu-
featuring she is becoming important.

value of the output OF the interests
