To a large degree our mineral
production is indicative of what
protection has done for our indus.

Of the Dingley law. The coal for
our furnaces and for engines in
mills, on the railroad and as the ba-
sis for all motive power; the iron
ore which IS the basis of our great
iron and steel output; the stone for
construction purposes; the copper
and silver and gold all show a most
wonderful increase during the past
FIVE years, In value our mineral
production has increased from $613,
ooo, 900 in 1896 to over $I,zoo.-

In all the above the increase was
enormous, except silver. which
shows a slight decrease in both
quantity and commercial value.
Several of the less important
products increased in even greater
proportions, such as graphite, from

$4,000 to 100000; precious

Hon. B. r. Russell,s Say.

AAohs - r. ANuSaCAlf NSpuutiSait
candidate for Congress in the 18th
Nc. district, in a recent letter to the
Globe Democrat, gives out the fol-
lowing clear statement of facts:
In your issue of this morning /
call attention to the misstatement in
the Democratic platform as to the
entire expenses of the state govern
ment being paid from the tax of 10
eeuts on the SIoo valuation, show
ing from the last AUDITORS report,
page 4, the gross falsehood of such
a clam. In your next issue / de-
sire to present from the same audi
tor report, proof of the falsity of
another claim made in the same
platform:
ave congratulate the people of
Missouri on the magnificent pro-
gress made by the state under Dem
ocratic rule"
The value of this declaration is
best tested by another reference to
the auditors report of ISoo-Iooo,
page $50. According to that report
the progress of the state under Re-
publican rale was much greater than
it has since been under Democratic
rule. The policies of the Republic
can party that brought general pros
perity TO the country, have, Of
course, benefited Missouri, and
Democratic misrule could not en-
tirely destroy that prosperity, but to
a large extent il did so for a series
of years, and the Democratic audi
tors reports Of the state furnish the
direct proof. The Republican pai-
ty came into power in this state in
1863, and at that time the assessed
valuation of property in the state
outside of railroad property is given
in the report alluded to as SIoS,-
7o2.sI6. The Republican party
ably administered the affairs OF the
state up TO 1871, and in hat year
the assessed value of the property Of
the state, as given in the table on
page $50, was s5S5,s59,7os. an in
crease of $3.50. 657,579, or about
500 per cent IN eight years. Every
year Of Republican control register
ed an enormous increase in the
assessed valuation Of property. the
largest by many millions Of any
period in the history Of the state.
The Democratic party came into
control, through It's allies. and 4 re-
markable change At once occurred.
Within ono year the assessed valua.
ton Of property fell $4,000, 900,
and At the end Of ten years the val
uation Of property was SIs 1000 600
less than when the Republicans
went out Of power in 1871. Ae-
eording 10 the auditors report the
valuation in 1851 was S573,Iso,s $40,
against s5Ss,sS9,79s in 1871.
During the next ten years, =
period Of great prosperity in the
nation, the assessed valuation Of the
state increased but $4,000. 600. a
gain OF 20 per cen, in twenty years,
or $40, 900, 900 less than the Repub.
l'ean gain in eight years. The pop
ulation during the Republican
period gained from LISBON to
i,7aI,a9s, oye 81 per cent. Dur
ing the next decade, under Demo
cratic control, the population 10.
creased AZ 900. only 40 per cent

LICENSES FOR CATS.
Auth critics of Berlin, Germany Inn
pose Restrictions on the
Feline Tribe,

It has recently been discovered that
there are about 10000 cats in Berlin,
and, full of their knowledge, the Ger
man Society for the Protection Of
Animals, has conceived thoroughly
Teutonic idea, says Berlin CORE
spondent of the Chicago Inter Ocean.
According to its carefully conceived
plan, the town council of the city is
to take the matter in hand, and to
issue licenses for cats, just as they
do for dogs.
Cats are only to perambulate the
city when wearing their authorized
little badges, hanging, locket-like,
from their throats. There is nothing
in principle to be said against the
issue of the licenses, but what puz-
zles reasonable people Is the list of
penalties that these ingenious people
have drawn up. The owner of a cat
is to be fined If the latter "be found
wandering in the public gardens of the
city; or If the birth of kitten, or lit
ter of kittens, be not punctually re-
ported to the authorities; or, II a
citizens pet is discovered prowling
about the streets without its distinc-
tive official badge, etc" This word
"etc." sticks in ones throat, after the
enumeration of the previous offenses.

Leave u.s. they make answer, "all

ports, announcements - everything
you have ever published"
And they master that literature
and then they visit the asylum and
inspect it thoroughly. BY this time
they acquaint themselves with the
character of the institution in ques-
ton, learning whether or not the
benevolent rich would be likely to
help it If its case were laid before
them. According to that likelihood
they set their price, saying they
will beg" for the place If they are
given ten, twenty, or thirty per cent.
of all the money they solicit.

WOMEN VOTERS.
Are More Considerations Regarding
Their Franchise Privileges
Than Men.

An Australian newspaper tells of
some curious facts shown by the new
electoral rolls of South Australia. The
number of men on the rolls has shrunk
in little over three years from So, $40
to 6,767. On the other hand the wom-
en- voters have increased during the
same period from 6S,375 to 1852. In
the three chief metropolitan districts
the men voters have dropped from &c.,
5S7 to 3O,4S4. reduction Of nearly 16
per cent. Women voters in the same
district have slightly increased their
numbers, and now count no less than
32.sO1. The women seem to be grow
ing more conscientious in the fulfill
ment of their political duties and the
men more careless.
When equal suffrage was granted in
New Zealand the estimated number of
adult women in the country was $780,
915. OF these, 100, 461 registered to
vote. OF the women who registered,
81 per cent. voted; of the men who reg
istered, only 67 per cent.
According to the report of the
Wyoming secretary Of state, 90 per
cent. of the women vote. In Denver,
at the election last November, 3!,7S0
men voted and 23,449 women.

HUMAN BEINGS NOT IMMUNE
eases Frequently Attack People
Second Time

1t is fallacy, widespread but
nevertheless fallacy, for anyone to
suppose that IA person who has once
had smallpox, measles, scarlet fever
or other contagious disease is there
by made immune to that particular
disease for the rest of his life. A
Swiss physician has been examining
the records of such diseases, and in
the statistics at his sposal-wbich
are very defective, rs comparatively
few physicians take the trouble to
report such observations to the med
zeal Journalistic finds no less than
52S persons who have had smallpox
twice, nine who have had it three
times and one who has had It seven
times. For scarlet fever he finds 144
double and seven triple attacks. A
hundred and three persons had two
and three had seven attacks of
measles; 203 had typhus twice, five
thrice, one four times, and even
cholera shows 30 second and three
third attacks. The natural inference
is that during the prevalence of an
epidemic one should not rashly ex-
pose himself to contagion even If he
has already had the disease.

OLD-FASHIONED SURF BATH.
How Long Island Farmers Used to
Go Bathing In Their Big
Wagons.

1t is not so many years ago when
surf bathing of very primitive kind
prevailed at the eastern end of Long
Island and, for aught l know, at other
points, says a writer in Outing.
Every Saturday morning or after
noon as the tide willed, throughout the
summer, big farm wagons trundled
down to the beach and were swung
around abreast of the line of breakers.
Old fish houses served the purpose Of
modern bathing pavilions, and the sea
costumes were those of last years
village street. A long rope was drawn
from under the seats and hitched to
the wheel, and then some sturdy ex-
whaler or life crew man, in red flannel
shirt and old trousers tied at the an
kles, slipped his wrist through the
loop at the end of this primitive life
line, and. wading out, sept It as taut
as circumstances permitted, while the
women and children hung to it and
revealed and wallowed and shrieked,
rejoicing in their Saturday tub"

NO POUND WEIGHTS IN TROY.
The Measure Exists Only In the
school Books and Not In the
Jewelers' shops.

"Did il ever occur to YOU" said q
college professor to a Chicago gold
smith, "that you have no such thing
as pound weight"
1t had; but the professor is willing
to bet that not one graduate of a
high school out of twenty has an idea
that there is not a metal weight of IL
ounces to represent the Troy pound.
But there is no such thing. Twelve
Troy ounces make pound but there
is no such material unit of measure
ment. There are the grain, the scru-
pie. the drachm. and the ounce weights,
but nothing more. The man who has
ten pounds of gold in reality has only
1870 ounces, and for him to go into
the gold market and speak of gold as
by the pound would be for him to be
laughed at
Incidentally these units of measure
ment in the Troy scale look a good
deal more like Greek or Chinese coins
than they look like weights, says the
Chicago Tribune. For the average
high school graduate to pick up set
of these weights would be to bewilder
him.
1t is the contemplation of such alb
surdities of the English tables of
weights and measurements that bring
the student 70 the metric system as
the sane solution of it all.

PROPHECY OF GLADSTONE.
One That the Grand Old Wan Made
Many Years Ago Which
Has Come True.

Prophecies, even when the prophets
are politicians, sometimes come true.
says the st. James Gazette. Here is
notable Gladstone utterance which
we can now look back upon as quite
prophetic. Speaking or writing %
years ago of the menace which, in
the prospective development of her
resources, America offers to the com
mercial pre-eminence of England" the
grand old man predicted that Amer
lea, and America alone, "can, and prob
ably will, wrest from us that CONNER
cial primacy. We have no title, have
no inclination, to murmur AT the pros
pect. If she acquires it, she will make
the acquisition by the right of the
strongest; but, in this instance, the
strongest means the best. She will
probably become what we are now,
the head servant in the great house
hold Of the world, the employer of all
employed; because her service will he
the most and ablest. We have no more
title against her than Venice, Genoa
or Holland has had against us"

is GROWING IN FAVOR.
Tendency Toward Disposition OF
Human Dead by Cremation BE-
coming More Popular

The custom of cremation prevailed
throughout the civilized world before
the Christian era, excepting among
the Egyptians, Chinese and Hebrews,
and recent statistics show that there
is constant and growing tendency
to return to the custom.
The disposition of the human dead
by incarceration has been meeting
with more and more favor, that has in
no wise been retarded since the first
cremation society was formed in Lon
don in 1874. That same year crema-
tory was erected in Milan and two
years afterward one was built in
Lodi, Italy. In two years more there
was one in GOtha, Germany, and aft
erward they began to appear in all
lands.
The first one in this country was
erected in Washington, Pa, in 1888,
and the one in Fresh Pond, l.. l., came
two years afterward. In this latter
eight bodies were cremated the first
year and rs in the second year. In 1900
the total has passed the 600 mark, and
during last year it reached ga.
There are now 20 crematories in the
United States. In the year that New
Iork's first crematory WAS opened
only 46 bodies were cremated in the
entire country, while last year the
number was 2,645.

DAMAGED BY SEA WATER.
Steel Rails Succufab Rapidly TO Cor
rOsiOn in the Tropics Near
the Sea,

Mr.. Bricks, one of the engineers In
charge of the railroads owned by the
French government, recently read a
paper in which he said that sea wa
ter, particularly in tropical coun-
tries, has n very destructive influence
on steel rails. A few weeks ago the
same observation was made by Mr..
DelpraJ, the engineer in charge of
the Dutch railroad in Sumatra.
This gentleman says that the short
railroad at Port Emma, on the coast
of Sumatra, which has been in opera
ton for ten years, and which occu-
pies a position only little above
mean high tide, has been greatly
damaged by sea water, the rails hav-
ing been largely eaten away by rust.
The rails on one of the shorter
branches of this road, which runs
over breakwater, have been dimin-
ished in weight by about two and a
half pounds for every three and a
half feet of the length of the rails.
He says that every year these rails
are losing about four per cent. of
the weight of new rails. The width
of the rail surface has been dimin-
ished about one inch.

AN UNAVAILABLE LAND.
boundary Between Utah and ArizOns
Desert from One End
to the Other

A wcll-known civil engineer, II. B.
carpenter, who has recently com.
pleted the survey of the southern
line of Utah, says the boundary be-
tween that state and Arizona does
not cross a foot of cultivated land
1t traverses u desert, which is cut
up by great canyons that are almost
impossible. The length of the line
is PIT miles. Landmarks along the
line will make it possible for the
boundary to be located without any
difficulty in the future. just east OF
the Colorado river a sandstone butte
rises LOCO feet above the plain, and
the very peak of this butte is exact
ly on the boundary. Mr.. Carpenter
named the peak State Line butte.
Not far from this butte is another,
which stands 1900 feet above the
plain, ind was named Tower peak.
These two gigantic stones will al
ways be a guide to persons who have
enough curiosity to penetrate the
desert IN search of the state line.
