ent Congress in the matter, a Pacific
cable is assured and that is the main
thing. Whether it will be built by a
private company for commercial pur-
poses or under contract with the gov
ernment is uncertain, but it will be
quilt at any early day. Private capi-
tai is ready and American enterprise is
equal to the task. No argument is
needed now to show the prime impor-
tance of Pacific cable under Ameri-
can control. 1t is not a matter of
sentiment, but business demands it
and it is something of national impor-
tance. 1t cannot be built too soon, and
the delay in the matter is not credita-

The Pacific Gable.

The bill for the construction of
government cable across the Pacific
has been defeated in Congress, but this
does not mean that the United States
is not to have cable connection in the
immediate future with Hawaii, Guam
and the Philippines. 1t does not mean
that the achievements of Marconi have
convinced Congress that cables are not
to be needed for transoceanic COM
munication in the future. 1t means
that the majority in Congress believes
that it is not necessary or advisable for
the government to build such cable
at this time. and Incidentally the ad-
verse vote shows something of the
sentiment of the House on the
correlative question of the government
ownership of land lines. Perhaps the
majority is mistaken, as majorities
have been known to be before now,
and if so the mistake will later be
remedied. a
But whatever the action of the pres

leigh of Augusta, for representative TO
Congress to succeed himself, and in Sep
tember next he will be elected for a
fourth term. Mr.. Burleigh's official re
cord as land agent, State treasurer and
congressman is too well known to cal
for more than a passing reference. He
has honored every public position to
which he has been called, and faithfully
performed every duty entrusted to him.
His congressional career has been
marked by increasing influence and use
fulnesS. He has looked well to the in
terests of his district, as is well demon-
Strated by the appropriations secured for
public buildings and improvements, and
the extension of the rural free delivery
service. And at all times he has been
ready to serve, to the best of his ability
and the extent of his influence, the inter

readily conceded that the honor of a re-
nomination by acclamation was justly his

The wo-Step Doomed.

1t is time OF transformations and
disturbances on the earth and within
il. The atmosphere is heavily charged
with iconoclasm and revolutionary ten
dencies. Hardly has the awful detOna-
tions of Pelee's explosion died away
and Hayti settled down to interim
surrection calm, when the world is
staggered by the report from Mil
waukee that the two-step is doomed.
The dancing masters of America are in
annual convention there and this is
their relentless edict. Hereafter Mil
waukee will be famed, not for the
amber product of its breweries, but as
the city where the two-step, beloved
by all dancing humanity, was ruth
lessiy slaughtered. The dancing mas
ters say that the two-step is lacking i'll
grace, that there is too much go" in it,
and that the Siddy disciples OF Terpsi-
chore have made a romp Of it. Think
Of that. ye millions who have enjoyed
its ravishing delights. Think of it, ye
who never succeeded in mastering any
other dance, The two-step 10 be aboi-
ished,
These tyrants assembled in Mil
waukee propose to popularize in place
Of the two-step something more Sim
pie" and less strenuous. This is the
"fve-step' which is said to have
gained favor in some sections. That
the public may know how simple,
graceful and easy is the 'five-step" j
description of it is given as follows:
Glide left foot toward the left, and
draw right to left; then glide left back
one full step, and glide right outward
and back on a line with left, and
chasse toward the right. Then repeat
The chasse toward the right, of course,
is made by gliding the left foot to the
right. simultaneously gliding the right
out again, and again, drawing up the
| left foot This leaves the dancers in
| the first position, and ready to repeat
| the figure"
| We think this were better called the
"centipede dance" from the number OF
left feet required to execute the figure
with expedition and grace. And what
assurance is there that the ''ten-step'
will not follow to surplant the five
step" as soon as the latter is in some
degree mastered by the long-sufferina
dancing public? If the dancing masters
want to do a real service, why don''
they popularize the stately, dignifiet
minuet of the good old times? There
was grace and charming daintiness fo,
you. and the world had not yet beer
| vexed with Goth century strenuosity
But let the dancing masters go hang
| We vote that the two-step be allowed
to divide honors with the waltz OF
the dance order for at least anothe
season.

Uncle Esek'S Wisdom,

We stand in our own sunshine oftener
than others do.
1t is the little things that are the mos
wonderful and difficult; ii is possible lOi
human enterprise to make a mountain
but impossible for it to make an oyster.
There is nothing so necessary as nccos-
sity; without it, mankind would have
ceased to exist ages ago.
The heart gets weary, but never gels
old.
fla man is right he can't be too radi-
cal; if wrong, he can't be too cOnserva-
tive.
The silent man may be overlooked now
but he will get a hearing by and by.

When a mans appetite for dinner is not
as good as usual his wife begins to fret
right away about whether he is wearing

The Business Outlook.

Henry Clews. the acute observer of
all things affecting the industrial and
financial interests Of the country,
sums up the business outlook in his
weekly bulletin. and lays much stress
upon the labor situation. In speaking
of the coal strike he holds that the
operators cannot afford to surrender
management of the property entrusted
to their care by thousands of stock
holders, and that the miners are to be
pitied for blindly following leaders
who are guiding them to ultimate de-
feat. Many of labor's troubles un-
doubtedly would be avoided if they
could only be induced to select abler
and more temperate men as district
leaders. AS it is, their leaders must be
blamed for putting the men in an ut
terly untenable position. Perhaps the
miners will learn by experience: if so,
the lessons of the strike will not be
lost.
The, crop situation, says~Mr. Clews,
is very encouraging. In spite of the
reduction of wheat acreage the present
outlook is for crop of about $4,000, 900

Some people in New York don't mean to be left without a party if Bryanism is repudiated by the New York Demo- crats, as 1t probably will be, They met Saturday in New York city and put g. full ticket for State officers in the field. They adopted a platform which had for it's main blanks a reaffirmation of the Chicago platform of 1896, and vigorous denunciation of ex-Governor Hill and his efforts to reorganize Democracy on the basis of eliminating Bryanism. The leaders in the movement appear to be Henry George men" in New York city and men in other parts of the State who were Populists while that party had an organization there from 1892 to 1896.

He alludes to Swatow, where there ara a number of Chinese who have returned from the United States and where the demand for American flour has increas- ed twentyfold in nine years. He does not believe that the actual coin brought back by returning Chinese is very great, but the remittances made in American products, in his opinion, amount to at least $10,000,O00 a year from California alone.
 Of the net imports, valued at some thing like 27o,O0O, 1000 taels, Great Brit ain and her dependencies supplied 196,- 0O0,00O, Japan 32,O00000, the United States 23,0OO,00O, the continent of Eu- rope, excluding Russia, 100000 and Russia about 3000,000, this including European and Asiatic Russia. Of the 43S ,000,0 900 of taels exported, Great Brit ain took 2S3, ,000, 900, the United States 40, GOO, 900, Europe, excepting Russia, 4G,- 000,O00 Russia, European and Asiatic, 12,000,000, and Japan 49000,000. The United States, therefore, has a larger trade with China than has any other country, with the exception of the Brit ish empire and Japan. In fact, we had in 1901 larger trade with China than the entire continent of Europe, with the exception of Russia. As far as firms and residents are concerned, the British empire is represented in China by 427 firms and 5,410 persons; Japan has 2S9 firms and ALTO residents; United States, go firms and 2,292 residents; Germany, 122 firms, and 1,531 residents; Russia, 19 firms and 1,648 residents. ana France, 64 firms and 1861 residents.
