tarding the American invasion of manu-
featured goods. The fact that the pro-
posed trade treaty between France and
the United States is still in limbo may have
something to do with the welcome given
by France to advances from other coun-
tries, all the more that American experts
have frankly stated their belief that in
this treaty, which the United States Senate
refused to accept. France got decidedly the
worst of the final agreement.
Until the colonial premiers return to their
own peoples and ascertain the sentiment
at home it is impossible to say whether
one of the results of the coronation gath
ering will be a remarkable series of trade
treaties between England and her colo
MES or whether the revival of imperial
spirit was merely sentiment. The colonies
have not been under the spell of imperial
glory which has illumined the English mind
for weeks past. To contribute money to
the imperial army and navy, to give trade
preferences to English goods and to other
wise assist the mother county to hold her
own may not appeal with overwhelming
force to hard-headed colonials who see
nothing tangible to be given in return
Little England" is at a disadvantage in
making a bargain with Greater England, -
for she has not much to offer except the
pride of empire and access to great and
friendly market. but on practically the
same terms as to all other competitors.
COLONIALS WAKING UP.
1t must be borne in mind also that coloni-
ais are not Englishmen, though giving
tribute to the same flag. This important
discovery was made by the visiting coloni-
ais themselves during the coronation visit.
1t came to them as a revelation. The CO.
lonial much resembles the American in his
freedom from form and tradition and his
abundance of nervous energy. The intelli-
gent American is fairly we'll aware Of
wherein he differs from the insular En-
glishman. This. roughly speaking, may
serve to illustrate the Importance and sig
nificance of the discovery made by the
colonial during his recent visit home"
He found he was a stranger. and, after
seeing the sights. was glad to take passage
for his own land. These things will make
more difficult the English plan for an en-
pire bound to the mother country by a
series OF trade treaties so largely one
sided in favors bestowed as to amount 10
substantial tribute TO the seat of imperial
power.
Russia and England are treating together
for increased commercial exchanges and
with fair chance of results beneficial to
both countries concerned, but not desirable
from an American point OF view. Russia
is a great agricultural country. which only
needs development, transportation and
commercial knowledge TO become a much
greater factor I'm the food supply OF the
world than she is now. France is finding
the English markets immensely valuable

A New Albany gentleman who is the
owner of a large stove foundry which is
located in Louisville, employs number Of
fine Percheron horses to do the
great amount of heavy hauling which
his business necessitates. He has a
delightful home in the suburbs of
the Indiana town, on hilton
which is generously endowed with warm
sunshine and fresh breezes. During the
pleasant months Of the year one or two
of the work horses are at his country
home, enjoying a four weeks holiday in
well to spare each of them in turn for that
out with hard, incessant pulling, which is
rendered exhausting in the summer by ex-
cessive heat and aggravated in winter by
bitter cold and icy streets.
During their holiday the animals are
freed from all hardships and enjoy perfect
liberty. How they snort and roll I'm the
soft grass when first released! IL is pleas
ant to fancy their surprise when removed
from their labor in the hot, dusty streets
to those breezy slopes. where they idle, run,
roll or Craze, according TO their mood, from

blissful period of their lives. wondering,
perhaps. just when the long-expected treat
will come TO them. Any summer morning
they may find themselves trotting gaily
over the long briGge across the Ohio and up
the steep hillside road. instead OF returning
to the foundry TO groan and sweat under
a load of iron. Their holiday is we'll
earned. and doubles they return TO their
labor with renewed zest. A kind master

WOOD IoXaS, NOV. "a, lVO2.
Mr.. Editor. Perhaps few dots
from this part of the world would not
be amiss. Just at this time we are
having very wet weather, had the
heaviest rains on 22nd since June.
Crops are about all gathered, corn is
hardly half crop, cotton about 60 pc
cent The top crop that the cotton
spectators have said so much about
is being eaten by the cattle as it
always is. The cane crop is very fine
and Syrup making is the order of the
day now, and this sandy soil makes a
fine article. I see from the News that
you are likely to have fine crop of
candidates next year. That's good,
nothing like having plenty to select
from. Our county (Panola) voted on
the whisky question on the 9Th of
October and went dry by 80 majority.
Texas is going that way-the days of
the saloon are numbered So mote
it be. We get the News regularly and
read every thing in it. With best
wishes for you and yours.
I am yours truly,
