PRESS COMMENTS.

The west is not fanatical with
regard to the tariff. 1t demands
adaptation to the new conditions. It
wants markets and outlets, and real
ICES that these can be secured only
by a policy of "give and take."-Chi-
cago Evening Post (Rep.).
Foraker is not enthusiastic in
his support Of the shipping subsidy
bill. But after all, that is not es-
pecially surprising. If Senator Han
ne can just secure his associates
support, no doubt he will himself
supply all the enthusiasm the occa-
sion demands.-St. Paul Globe.
I'm effect the sugar trust has
said to the legislators: Do what you
want to gain your own political pur-
poses; increase or decrease tariff
rates on Cuban sugars, but do not in
terfere with the tariff so far as it af-
fects II monopoly. Philadelphia

Too bad President Roosevelt
couldn't wait until the dog days to
muzzle the cabient. But then there
is considerable work ahead of him.
He has made the army and navy shut
up. Also all government employees,
who are not even to ask for a raise
of salary. And it may take from
o on until August to make con-
gress, the newspapers and all the
rest Of US shut up and let the presi-
dent do all the talking. Speaker

tool realized at once my new responsibilities and these maze me
more determined than ever to succeed. l knew that as a single man
failure would have affected myself alone. Now there was the comfort
and we'll being of another to provide for. Every married man OF
character feels the same way.
AS A CLASS KNOW THIS.
Married? p they say to an applicant for a position. "Chldren?
they ask. And s~tra.ghtway they give that job to the wife and babies.
So that marriage is a good investment. 1t does more than inn
prove the man himself, it acts as a letter of recommendation. For
there is considerable chivary in the business man of the twentieth
century-a very practical chivalry that says to him: Here's a chance
to make a whole family happy" and he usually avals himself Of that
chance.
Marry just as soon as you can, young man-when you are GER
tain of your ability to support your wife-and take my word for it,
you will not regret the step. You will be amazed how your wife will
aid you in all your efforts. YOU MAY THINK YOU ARE IN
TERESTED IN YOUR WORK AT PRESENT, BUT OF
COURSE, YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT REAL INTEREST
IN WORK IS UNTIL YOU GET MARRIED.
All this, of course, presupposes that you marry a sensible woman,
one to whom you have explained fully your condition in life, one who
will help you to achieve your ambitions. In this class are not included
social butterflies. l should hesitate to recommend an investment OF
the latter characters.

Newspaper Comment.

London, March 24.-Few of the pa
pers here comment on the news from
Pretoria. These take it for granted
that Mr.. Schalk-Burger and his com
panionS are on a mission of peace
and again engage in a discussion of
possible peace terms, expressing the
hope that the overtures will have a
successful outcome. The presence of
Lucas Meyer is regarded as signifi-
cant, as he is an intimate friend of
Louis Botha.
The Daily Chronicle, commenting
on the absence of Botha from the
delegation, suggests he is standing
aside owing to the failure of his over
lures OF q year ago, and considers
that, although the conditions Lord
Kitchener then offered to Botha had
been annulled it is highly probable
that peace may still be arranged on
similar lines, but that the Beers can
not expect lore lenient terms.
The Daily News remarks that a
settlement would be possible if the
Beers were treated like civilized com
batants, 'but men do not surrender
Internationally just after taking one
of the enemy's generals and four OF
his guns"

CALLED ON
Said to Have Been Hard-Pressed by
the British for a Week.

Pretoria, March 23.--Acting Presi-
dent Schalk-Burger, +. w. Reitz, ex-
secretary of state of the Transvaal,
and Commandments Lucas Meyer and
Trough, with their secretaries and
attendants, arrived here yesterday,
March %, at 2:04 p. M, on a special
train from Balmoral, about fifty
miles east of here. They came into
Balmoral under a flag of truce.
Upon arriving here Mr.. Schalk-Bur-
ger and his party drove Immediately
to Lord Kitchener's headquarters,
where he had an interview with the
British general.
The Beers afterward proceeded to
the railroad station and %entrained at
five o'clock for Kroonstad, whence
they will go out under a safe con
duct.
For a week past Mr.. Schalk-Burger
and his colleagues have been sta
toned at Rhenoster Kop, north of
Balmoral, where they have been close
ly pressed by British columns. Dis
patch riders entered Balmoral Friday
night. and notified the British of the
approach of Mr.. Schalk-Burger and
his party.
1t is reported that the Boer posi-
ton at Rhenoster Kop had become al
most hopeless and that Mr.. Schalk-
Burger once narrowly escaped cap
ture.

The News in London.

London, March 24.-The news that
the wandering Boer government
had entered the British lines is re-
garded as having but one meaning,
namely, that another attempt is be-
ing made to negotiate peace. The
fact that the ensor passed the news
of this movement is accepted as con
firmation of this opinion. Nothing is
actually known here of the intentions
of Messrs. Schalk-Burger, Reitz,
Meyer and Krogh. 1t is possible they
have only sought permission to
traverse the British lines in order
to consult with Mr.. Steyn and the
Boer Generals De Wet and Delarey.
But whatever their object the news
has been welcomed in London as
pointing to the possibility of peace.
Some correspondence, which was
seized a short time ago when Mr..
Steyn narrowly escaped capture,
proved that he and Mr.. Schalk-Burger
were anxious to conclude peace. No
extravagant hopes, however, are be-
ing built on the outcome of the move
ments of Mr.. Schalk-Burger and his
companions, chiefly because it is
feared that Delarey, in the flush of
his recent success, will refuse to be
a party to any negotiations.
The war office has informed a rep
resentative of the press that it has
received no official information either
confirming or contradicting the news.
Commandant Krogh is M of the Sec
retaries of the Boer government

Under the alluring title THE Money
Maker Alfred Mathews contributes to
the current literature an article brim-
full of welcome information for the Gu
rious about the Philadelphia money
factory. We quote:
when the morning whistles blow
their strident, strenuous chorus in
Philadelphia, an immense industrial
army goes regularly and methodically
to work in some sixteen thousand fac
tories. Every one of these many thou
sand hives of industry, great and small,
is supposed to be a money making
concern" and yet the solitary one
among them all, that deserves, in an
exact sense, to be so-called, is, by a
seeming paradox, absolutely the only
one that is conducted without intent
to produce a single penny's worth of
profit. This is, of course, the United
States mint.
1.-The Philadelphia money factory of
the Federal government is easily en-
titled to Characterization by such big
phrases as largest in the United
States and most perfect of its kind
in the world and yet, in some of the
details of comparison, 1t occupies a
very humble position among the in
dustries of the city in which 1t is To-
Gated. There are many factories here
which employ one or two thousand
men each. or, say, one or two regi-
ments of the industrial army. There
is one, right next to the mint, which
employs total of eleven thousand men
or three brigades, but the mint force
of workers, If organized on a military
basis, wouldn't even be regiment. 1t
would constitute only a paltry battal-
ion, the highest officer of which would
be a mere major. 1t has only $50 en-
ployes, or one-twentieth the number of
its next neighbor.
But in various other respects the
comparisons would be largely in favor
of the mint, in opposition to any of
the other manufactures. Almost all
of its employees are of the order known
as highly skilled and even that term
does not fully express the high status
of many of the mint's superior stew
ards and servants. They are of the
very elect among scientific, mechanical
and art experts. Then, too. if the value
of raw material and finished product
Of this factory is brought into relative
view with that of other industrial es-
Establishments, Uncle Sans money max
ing monopoly is seen at once to occupy
the vantage point; for in round sum
this value at any time fOOts up the
almost terrific total of $500, 100000. Then,
finally, the mint is absolutely unique
among all the vastly varied manufac-
tories of Philadelphia; and surely no
one will deny the superior popularity
that its product enjoys. being indus
triously and necessarily sought for by
all classes and conditions of men.
''The new mint building, with it's four
front stretching straight
away an entire block on Spring Car
den street, is an impressively substan-
tial and beautiful structure of granite
and marble, rising from a granite ter
race. OF the mOdernized classic archi-
lecture, massive. monumental, it COM
bines the qualities of elegance. security
and utility, as is befitting in a struc-
