STRONG IN ORIENT.
America Will Lead in Trade Interests
There.-..Europs Alarmed.
Journal /:

minneapolis JOurudl:
John 81. Ladd, New York finan-
cier, who has large mining interests in
Colorado, is at the West. Until few
months ago Mr.. Ladd, who was born
in Boston, was a resident of London,
where he has lived for the past quar-
ter of a century. While on visit to
this country this year he learned that
the Geyser silver mine, located in Gus
ter county, Col. about 200 miles below
Denver, was for SALE He inspected
the mine last March and completed the
deal little more than a month ago.
Recent interviews of Denver mining
experts contain the prophesy that the
Geyser will develop into one of the
richest silver properties in the world.
Mr. Ladd has travelled much. He has
encircled the globe over the old routes
three times. He was engaged in bust
ness in China for years. He predicts
that America is to take the largest
chunk of the Chinese trade.
Coming years will prove the value
of President Mckinley to this coun-
try" said Mr.. Ladd. His oriental
policy is the admiration of the deep
thinkers of all nations. 1t is laying a
foundation for the future prosperity of
this country that coming decades will
prove with magnificent results. The
oriental is already learning that
America makes the best goods. Eng
land cannot compete with this market
for that trade, and she knows it.
''All that English humor attempts to
say about the American invasion of
Britain, they can say in serious terms.
Made in Germany has been for years
the wording on freight packages arriv-
ing in England. German goods have
competed tiercely with those of British
manufacture in that market But a
new factor now appears in the shape
of American goods, and this new fac
tor is rapidly becoming the dominat-
ing one. England has but one means
of self-defense, and that is protec-
tive tariff. There is no question but
that every European country realizes
that America is the great candidate
for favor in the worlds markets. Rus
STA is developing fast. She will make
great customer for this country if we
can but hold her friendship, and we
should hold it if possible.
1.-The foreign markets, which care
full foreign policy on the part of this
government will create for American
goods, will almost insure continued
prosperity for this government for an
other twenty-five years. 1 have no
fears of panic in this country as long
as the present demand for American
goods is maintained. But limit your,
market. and the production is limited
That means closed factories and idle
men. The wealth of America is not
tied to one section now, and a fnan-
cial pinch in one money market can be
relieved by aid from another, just as
Chicago and the western towns came
to the aid of New York during the &C
weeks ago.

He Dot Off.

The wife of a German farmland in
Ohio was taken sick and finally died,
the husband, of course, leaving his
work for several days in consequence.
Two weeks later he appeared at the
house of his employer and asked to be
relieved for couple of days, when the
following conversation took place . .-,n,
81 would like to get off for about two
tags.
81 can't spare you unless it is abso-
lutely necessary. You know you los t
several days two weeks ago, and we
are behind in the work what is the
necessity for your getting OFF, in
quired the farmer.
''Vell, | vas to be married -
"Why, Fritz, your wife died only
two weeks ago, and now you are about
to get married AGAIN. do not under
stand that.
"Vell,' replied the German, 81
don't hold spite long"
The farmer dismissed the case with
out p prejudice.

FINED HIMSELF.
A Justice Who Plead Guilty and Admin.
istered the Law to Himself.
Minneapolis Journal

w. II. Chappell of Fergus Falls, one
of the state dairy and food inspectors,
says he has many queer experiences in
his travels. One of the most amusing
occurred the other day at Childs, Will
kin county.
Chappell dropped in the other day
with his hand satchel, and made the
rounds of the grocery stores. The first
he struck was kept by the village con-
stable, and the first thing he saw was
some cans of baking powder on the
shelf without labels to show the in
gradients as required by law. He
showed them to the proprietor, who
admitted that he knew better, and
agreed to go along to the Justice of
the peace and plead guilty.
The justice also kept a grocery
store. BE busted his coat and con-
vened court. The constable pleaded
guilty and was fined $50, the least the
law will -aflow Then Chappell took
an eagle glance over the shelves of the
worthy justice. Right to the front was
some of the offending baking powder
His honor was very much shocked to
find that he had been violating the
law. So was the constable, who stood
patiently by, waiting for the machin-
cry of the law to move again. A seri-
GUS question arose. There was no other
justice in the village Could the JUS
tice plead guilty before himself? He
thought not. Chappell thought the
only thing to do was to go to the next
town. His honor demurred at that, and
decided to waive formality. He ar
raigned himself, pleaded guilty, and
fined himself $25.
There might have been COSTS The
justice had assessed So costs on the
constable. and why not fine himself
He concluded, however, to knock off
all the costs and call it square. Chap
pell took the money and went on his
way smiling. He finished up the town,
but strange to relate, the grocery stores
kept by plain citizens were all run
ming in strict conformity with the
law, and he collected no more fines at
that stop.

A SENSIBLE POINTER.
The Tax Commission Ought TO Follow
Judge Simpsons Advice.
Minneapolis Journal

Minneapolis journal
A valuable suggestion for the state
tax commission may be found in
proposition by Judge Simpson to the
effect that one of the most necessary
amendments to existing laws would
be in the line of a grant to munich
palities of the right to levy special as
sessments against railway property to
pay for local improvements in the
benefits of which the roads participate.
For many years past the railways
have been taxed under the gross earn
ings system, which provides that they
shall pay to the state 3 per cent OF
their gross earnings, such payment be-
ing in lieu of all other taxation. Thus
it comes that while an entire railway
system may be found within the
boundaries of single county, as is
the case in st. Louis county, the tax is
all paid to the state and the county Sc
cures little or nothing.
Under the present system the rail
way company is completely exempt
from local assessments of every form !;
the city furnishes police and fire pro-
lection to it without receiving a cent
of remuneration although all the tax
paid upon the millions of railway pro-
perty in this city is paid to the state,
the latter pays nothing in return it is
the city which is compelled to pave
the streets alongside railway property
in case the roads themselves will not
do it 1.-THE city builds bridges across the
tracks of the railroads and sidewalks
alongside tracts of lands owned by
them or no sidewalks are built; the
city furnishes lighting in the railway
districts of the community and gets
nothing from the railways for doing
so all of which is pointed to in sup
port for the right to make special as
sessments.
Judge Simpson suggests that the gross
earnings law is nothing more or less
than a contract, and as each is liable
to revision In fact the recent legis-
lative session voted to submit to vote
of the people proposition to increase
the amount of the tax from to A per
cent, Notwithstanding the protests
from the roads that such an increase
would be impossible and unconstitu-
tional in that the present contract was
irrevocable and binding for all time.
But, conceding that the law passed
will stand the test in the courts, Judge
Simpson states that it is his belief that
other changes besides the ratio could
be made, following with the sugges-
ton that the grant to municipalities
of the right to levy special assessments
to cover the cost of local improve
ments upon property adjoining rail-
way holdings should be first in order.

Superstitious Great rIen.

Superstition has not only prevented
mankind from attaining superior
eminence of happiness, but what is
more deplorable, it has added in a
great degree to an already extensive
catalogue of earthly miseries. 1t is
not by the ignorant alone that super
stitious beliefs are entertained. but by
many eminent men of the past and
present. DR.. Samuel johnson was a
firm believer in ghosts and second
sight. Josephus, the great Jewish his
rorian, relates that he saw the extra
ordinary sight of an evil spirit being
induced to leave the body of an afflict-
ed mortal upon the application of Solo
mon s seal to the patients nostril.
James vi, who was noted for his in
tellectual attachments and theological
learning, was firm believer in witch
craft. So deep hold did this absurd
notion have on him that he published

What Might Have Happened.

A sporty young gentleman of the
city who drives dainty runabout
which is the envy of the other young
men of his set was driving down Main
street the other day when he nearly
ran over a six-foot countryman. The
countryman caught the bit and sat the
horse upon it's launches without APP
parent effort and then complacently re-
marked to the driver:
"Sonny, you had better be careful
how you drive that doll buggy of
your'n. If | hadn't collared this here
horse, you would "a run that thing
into me and smashed.it all to kindl-
ing. Memphis Scimitar.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way TO cure Deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by inf1am-
ed condition of the mucous lining of the Eust-
achian Tube. When this tube gets intiamed
ing. and when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever,
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh.
which is nothing but an inffamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
