FREE-TRADE AND SAVINGS.

There is no better way to judge th>
future than by the past. From theil
experience, the people of this country
especially the middle class" and the
workingmen, can readily foresee thai
the abolition of protection. which has
enabled them to increase their savings
a billion dollars in the past four years
and the adoption of free trade, with
the idleness and want which followed
that policy before, would not present
any necessity for postal savings banks
During free trade in this country the
middle class" and the workingmen
were more interested in and had more
use for free soup houses than savings
banks, and the same conditions would
obtain if free trade were again inaugu-
rated.-Helena (Mont) Record

ufacturers of the country not to enter
upon this great struggle with all man
kind for an antagonist by placing any
letters upon their own limbs.
The possession of your own marker

ground. Remember that nearly ever,

ever made, especially our old reciproc-
ity treaty with Canada, has been 6

OUR NAVAL EQUIPMENTS

Increased efficiency in our big naval
guns must be looked for from the use
of the heavier projectiles and the pro-
duction of powder possessing high
ballistic qualities, rather than from an
increase in the weight and dimensions
of the guns themselves, says Rear Ad-
miraI Charles O'Neil, chief of the
naval bureau of ordnance. in his an
nual report The last types of guns
are so large and heavy, he says, that
it is inadvisable to make an increse
in either respect, and the bureau will
now confine itself to developing
weightier projectiles and powder of
greater energy. The only material
change in the system of gun construc-
ton last year was a provision that
guns of and above 6 inches in caliber
for greater safety shall have an inner
and outer tube instead of solid forg-
ing, as heretofore. Admiral O'Neil
believes that the ordnance equipment
of United States naval vessels is fully
up to the highest standard maintained
abroad for vessels of corresponding
age and class, and says he knows of
no guns afioat or soon to be put afloat
equal in energy to those manufacturing
for the United States navy. The man
ufacture of gun mounts and other ord
nance fittings for the new vessels of
the navy, he says. is well in hand.
and he has every reason to believe
that the outfits will be ready when
the vessels are ready to receive them

DR.. j. J. Lafferty, editor of the
Christian Advocate, has in his posses
zion one of the strangest of canes. 1t
was made from a sapling that fed on
StonewaH Jackson's body. At the
time of the burial of Jackson someone
set out a mere twig upon the grave.
1t grew in time to be a sapling sew
eral inches in diameter. Friends of the
Jackson family deplored the fact that
the bush had ever been allowed to
grow there and Mrs. Jackson had it
removed The men found that the
root of the sapling had found its way
into the plain wooden coffin of the
soldier and had twined itself about
his skeleton 1t was taken up and a
cane was made of part of it The cane
was artistically carved and given to
Doctor Lafferty.

wonder if many of US attach due
Importance to the fact that Theodore
Roosevelt is the first president we
have had in forty years who has not
come under the influence of civil war
times and prejudices. Roosevelt be-
longs to a new era. He is of the pres
ent and future. He comes upon the
stage of national action at a time
when the country is united and he has
no sectional prejudices to hamper
him. To him the civil war is a matter
of history, to be read by the student
with interest and profit, but not to
live over in memory or to canker the
mind through vain recollections of bit
terness and strife. Roosevelt has a
great opportunity to stamp his admin
istration with the spirit of nationality.
On his mothers side he is connected
with the South and his fathers family
is identified with the North. He has
nothing of fratricidal strife to re-
member, nothing of hostility to forget
He also has the advantage of having
fought side by side with Southern men
in the Spanish war. The work of uni
fication was done for him by the war
with Spain and the broad catholicity
of his predecessor. He is free to pur-
sue a truly national policy. If he
avail himself of the splendid posi-
bilities of the situation it will be well
for the country and for his own fame.
What he will do remains to be seen.
No president ever had a better chance
to make nationality the guiding prin-
ciple of his policy.-Pennsylvan

Gen. Buffers campaigning in
his forty-three years of soldering he
has seen much service-has been prin-
cipally in Africa. Having served in
the Red river expedition in 1870, he be-
came one of the Garnet Wolseley
ring and served under Sir Garnet in
Ashanti. But his fame rests chiefly
on his exploits in South Africa and In
the Sudan. In Zululand. after Isan-
dula, he largely helped to aver the
consequences of defeat and took part
in the battle of Ulundi. Still more
notable was his record in the Sudan.
When Sir Henry Herbert Stewart was
wounded and Col. Burnaby killed MAJ
Gen. Butler took command of the des-
ert column and withdrew it in safety
from Gubat to Gokdul in the face of
the mahdists. whom he defeated at
Abu Kleathe same spot where Burma
by had been killed a month before. His
record in the Boer war is fresh in ev-
cry ones memory.

Some mischievous boys who attend
a school in New Fairfield, Conn, fut-
tered a red rag before a bull which
was quietly grazing in a lot near the
schoolhouse. The animal became en-
ragged and chased his tormentors,
breaking down a fence in his pursuit.
Boys, girls and teacher fed to the
school, hurriedly entered, and barred
the door. There the bull stood guard
for several hours, butting and kicking
the door and smashing the windows.
