Charles Metcalfe has invented new
method of putting his ore in shape for
iigging. He uses large fiat rock
around the edge of which is a heavy
wooden frame. The ore is placed on
this rock and reduced to the required
size by the use of Joplin hammers
The rock is easily crushed. From this
crusher it goes to the jigs, where the
gangue is worked off. BY this method
high grade silver-lead product is
made. Mr., Metcalfe has an immense
ore body to work on and will soon be
shipping in carload lots to the smelter

Laurence Harris, superintendent of
the Mollie Gibson mine, returned from
Needles last Thursday morning, hav.

Gibson ore to the Needles smelter. He
was we'll satisfied with his treatment
by the smelter people and claims to
have obtained good results. The ore
of the Mollie Gibson is the best lead
ore in the Chloride camp and ought to
be just the thing for smelter. For
the first time the smelter people blew
in their lead stack aud made a most
satisfactory run They have consid
erable ore on hand and ought to run
regularly instead of spasmodically.

The Farm Laborer's Poverty.

Mrs. Anna Lea Merritt, the artist,
paints vivid picture in the May Century
of the poverty that prevails in Hampshire,
England, where she has made her home
Our farm houses are usually fine brick
buildings, with tiled roofs, in the stately,
severe taste of two centuries ago, standing
back from the road among their colony of
barns, ample ricks and walled yards, shell
tered by noble trees. They bespeak life
of ease and abundance The laborers
cottages, near at hand, are little whitened
huts, curiously compounded of bricks, tim
ber, hurdles and mortar (called expires
sively waffle and daub, and covered with
thatch From distance they are scarcely
distinguishable from ricks. Two or three
tiny rooms shelter large families, living by
unceasing toil-toil which has no reward
but daily bread, and hardly enough of
that Yet in this narrow home affection
and self-sacrifce find room. Many man
with eight or nine children receives only
l / shillings week for daily work from
dawn to dark. A little extra money for
harvest provides rent and spare fuel. They
must begin their life of toll as soon as
School Board requirements are satisfied,
and very often have to trudge two or three
miles to their work, which begins il winter
at o clock. Boys have only sixpence a
day, with 80 shillings at Michaelmas
What wonder that sometimes they look
rather longing and listless, with their
growing youth hunger never quite salts
fed at the crowded home table
At harvest or haymaking they often
work seven or ten miles distant, where
they sleep under hedge, and walk home
occasionally for cooked food Meat is
certainly not tasted except on Sundays.
How can they study in the evening?
Have you ever tried to read or study after
ten hours of manual labor? 1t must be
something of extraordinary interest that
will keep one awake, and, besides, these
poor people have no bright lamps no quiet
rooms There is nothing for the growing
men SO cheerful as the Plow Inn, but there

Turning the Tables On Us.
From the Baltimore Sun, May 4.


The German statesman who was quoted
in The Sun yesterday as saying that his
country "has not the least desire to quar-
rel with the United States, and wishes in
every way to cultivate friendship and good
relations with the American Republic,
probably expresses the sentiments of the
overwhelming majority of the German peo
ple There is no reason why the best re-
lations should not exist between the Teu-
tonic Empire and the United States. Such
ILL., feeling as exists in both countries is in
large measure due to the invasion of the
German market by Americans Our meat
packers, for instance, were building up
profitable business in Germany. But there
are many Germans as well as Americans
who are firm believers in the principle of
protection, and who insist that it is gov
eminent business to make it impossible
for the foreigner to sell his products in the
market of any nation but his own Con
sequently the German Government at the
instigation of the agricultural interests of
that country, imposed restrictions upon
imports of meat from the United States,
and in enforcing Objectionable protection
ist measures gave great ofense to the meat
packers of the United States.
Americans are the last people in the
world who have right to complain when
European nations impose restrictions upon
imports from this country. The American
tariff system was established avowedly for
the purpose of keeping the foreigner out
of our market-that was the object which
both the Mckinley act and the Dingley
act sought to accomplish. Since we have
made it practically impossible for the Eu-
ropean to compete with us in our home
market, it does not become us to grow an
gry and make threats when Europe turns
our tactics upon us. Whenever, in the
past few years, the foreigner has endeavored
to secure modification of our prohibitory
tariff through reciprocity treaties, Congress
has refused to give its approval to the
commercial agreements negotiated by the
Executive. President Mckinley has sent
treaty after treaty to the Senate in the past
twelve months but that body of protec-
ZIONIST statesmen has refused to approve
them Europe undoubtedly has griev-
ance against the United States, and if
European countries decline to make it easy
for Americans to invade their markets they
are only paying us back in our own coin.
The German statesman whose frank ut
terances were quoted in The Sun asserts
that it is not the policy of Germany to in
terfere with the United States in respect
to the Monroe doctrine. That is the bogie
which certain jingoes in this country and
in England have been bringing out Of late
in order to create bad feeling between
American and Teuton. A New England
Senator at the last session of Congress
made speech in which he almost chal-
lenged Germany to go to war with the
United States over the Monroe doctrine.
Some of our jingo newspapers have worked
themselves up to the point of believing
that Germany has sinister designs on South
America, and that, therefore, it is the
duty of Uncle Sam to issue defiance to
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1901-05-11
he world in general and to the Teuton in

the world in general and to the Teuton in
particular The German statesman, who
speaks for his Government, repudiates any
intention on the part of Germany to make
an issue with the United States over South
America or our Asiatic possessions. Prob
ably the jingoes in this country who are
looking for trouble viii insist that they
know more about the policy of the German
Government than its responsible represent
atives do. They will look wise and insin
uate that Germany is simply pulling the
wool over the eyes of unsophisticated
America. Practical and sensible Ameri
cans, who believe that it is to the interest
of all nations to preserve peaceful relations
with each other, will accept the German
statesman announcement without reser
vation or suspicion. After all, it is simply
matter of common sense. The United
States has nothing to gain from war with
Germany, and Germany would gain moth
ing from war with the United States

Newspaper Correspondence.

Nothing so benefits the student of Eng
lish as composition and few if any cores
pondents consider the trials of an editor in
trying to make readable many of the let
tiers and communications which are sub
mitted to him for publication.
A well known newspaper reporter of
Washington, who has risen from country
correspondent TO city reporter, has for
mulated few rules which all contributors
to newspapers should follow. The rules
he has given are as follows
Express your thoughts in plain, sim
pie language, and use two small words
rather than one large one. Newspaper
readers haven time to look up the mean
ing of high sounding words in the die
tionary.
''Avoid such expressions as lurid
flames, along these lines last sad rites,
as it were, "a red letter day and a hun
dred other phrases which have become
hoary with age Even patient, suffer
ing public becomes tired of seeing the
same thing week after week.
always use the initials of man
name, no matter how much trouble it is
to find them, and to be sure to spell his
name correctly. A person can never quite
forgive newspaper which misspelled his
name
''Dont believe everything that is told
you, but investigate for yourself.
''Dont let your personal likes and dis
likes creep into your news reports. The
public is entitled to the news and is not
interested in your personal quarrels.
''Be truthful and never sacrifice truth
to make a story read well The editor
wants you to tell things as they are.
Don't try to dictate the policy of the
paper. That is what the editor is for and
he is responsible.
"Never communicate other than mat
ter of public Importance.
''In case of DEATH fire, flood, destruc-
tive storms, serious accidents or weddings,
send particulars in full.
''Write your communications IN PLAIN
language, and in your own style, if it needs
revision or correction it will be done by the
editor.
''Avoid saying anything about any local
quarrel, feud OF disturbance, as 1t might
interfere with the good name Of the paper
you are contributing to.

feet high, which he has named "Lost

The falls are in Box Canon, q miles
northwest of Hell's Half Acre. The
water plunges to depth Of 300 feet or
more. A dense growth of timber hides
the sheet of falling water, and a person can
walk to the brink of the falls without re-
alizing his danger, warned only by the
noise of the falling waters.
