AmERIcANIzING GERMANY.

American ideas, machinery and manu-
features are making Roadway In Ger
many; and in some instances at SO rapid
a rate as to alarm some of the prominent
interests of that country. The Minister
Of Finance. Herr Miguel. has recently
been petitioned TO increase the duties on
certain manufactures, among them paper
and iron. in view of the growing impor-
tation of these products from America.
The paper and iron makers fear, the COM
petition OF American articles will inter-
fere seriously with their trade.
Up TO about year ago no American
locomotive had ever been seen on Ger
man soil Then the Bavarian government
decided TO give the American machines.
Of which they had heard much. a trial on
the states road. Three locomotives were
ordered. A twelve months test has
shown them to be superior to the German
make of engines. They are stronger, Of
better workmanship. more durable and
more economical than the German loco
motives, and they cost less money. These
points in favor of the American engines

srs for a number OF locomotives. 1t has
been predicted that the Prussian railway

gines, and that the American type will

The Michigan Legislature has made
about four-htths OF its new laws to be-
come operative Immediately upon re-
celving the signature OF the Governor.
Thus something like 225 new Laws have
been dumped upon the people all in a.
bunch. A few days ago Coy. Bliss sent
the Legislature a message in which he
sharply reprimanded that body with re-
spect TO the matter. lie called attention
10 the fact that the constitution provides
that laws shall become operative ninety
days after the adjournment Of the Legfs-
laturs, unless othersiss directed by Q
two-thirds vote. The trainers Of the con-
stitutiOn. he said. wisely desired the peo.
pie 20 have time 70 learn what the new
laws were before those isgs went into
effect.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Baltimore Sun (Dem,) says: "Mr.

the South. In other words, the South

The census frauds in Maryland, which
have made a new count necessary In three
counties. are directly trsceable to the
Republican party. The frauds we're per-
petrated in Republican counties, and the
object of them was to secure increased
representation in the Legislature. Will
lam L. Curtis writes to the Chicago Rec

Even the dead are now in the grip Of a
trust-the coffin trust. There is, how
ever, the hope that this grip may be brok-
en-, or at least slackened, by a new in
vention. A Brooklyn doctor has adapted
paper to coffin making. The paper cof-
fin, he says, can be produced and mar
keted at least 50 per cent cheaper than
the prices now charged for collins OF
other materials, while it Is 50 per cent
better than any other conn now in the
market. That ought to give the paper
product abe call over the others. At pres
ent it costs ali the way from $50 to 500
for any sort of a CONN that a fellow
could feel comfortable in, or rather that
the survivors of the family would feel
comfortable az seeing him in. If this
expense could be cut in two, 1t would be
a boon to poor folks, who persist in ex-
ercising the right to die and be buried
just as the rich do. There ought to be nc
prejudice against the paper comm. 1t can
be made quite handsome and strong, and
treated with asbestos, il ought to be bet
ter than the wooden or metal casket.

Secretary Root is in favor of abolishing
the transport service between Cuba and
Porto Rico, and letting out the govern
ment's fetching and carrying by private
contract. One of the main reasons in
fuencing him, it is. said, is that he is
heartily sick and tired of the deadhead
business that the government has been
compelled to do on its transports. Hun
dreds of persons with political pulls have
been carried to and from the islands free
of cost to themselves. but at governments
expense, on the army's ships. Should the
transport service be abolished, that class
of persons would have to pay fare to visit
the islands 1t is said that strong efforts

RUBBER HISTORY.
Man That Came with Columbus Saw
Haitians Playing Ball.

''The world was a long time learning
the uses and value of rubber" says FL.
f. Armstrong in Ainslee's. For two
centuries after the Spaniards saw the
gum In the hands of natives of the new
world it was little more than curios-
ity. Old Herrea, who went with Co
lumbus on his second voyage. made a
note of an elastic ball which was mold
ed from the gum of a tree. At their
games due nude Haitians made it
bound high in the air. The Aztecs were
familiar with the gum and called it ule,
and from them the Spaniards learned
to smear it on their coats TO keep out
the wet. They had crossed the seas
for gold and never dreamed of a time
when the sticky milk the uncouth In
dams drew from strange trees would
bee worth more than the treasure of the
hills.
Jose, king of Portugal, in 1865, comes
