mIENDsHIP 20 AnIERICA.

The European nations have all re-
Gently shown their anxiety about prov
ing their friendliness to the United
States at the time Of the breaking out
Of the Spanish-American war. Several
Of them have sent out disclaimers of
unfriendliness, charges and counter
charges have been made; but the plain
fact is that Russia was our steadfast
friend, at the time when Austria sent
out the note to the powers proposing
a concert to cOerce the United States,
and spurned the proposition at once.
All the other powers discussed the zen
tente" and exchanged notes, several Of
them indicating their willingness to
enter into it provided all the great
powers would unite. So it comes out
that Russia was our steadfast friend
then just as she was at the critical
time in the civil war when both Eng
land and France were especially
unfriendly. Great Britain destroyed
American commerce, and, by the Gene
va award, had to pay the United States
Sl5s0OO,OOO damages. Napoleon III, of
France, set up an empire in Mexico,
for the Austrian Archduke Maximil-
ian, and at the close Of the war in 1863,
the United States sent $1,000 troops to
the Mexican frontier and demanded
the withdrawal of the French forces,
which was speedily done. In crises in
our history England has always sought
occasion to embarrass and destroy
US, and to rob US of territory and the
fruits of victory whenever she dared to
enforce that policy. American history
is full of facts supporting this conten-
ton. 1t makes one very tired to hear
the AnglOmaniacal gush about ENG
lands friendship for America"

CHANGING Inauguration Dar.

F. The senate has passed joint reSOlu-
ton changing the date Of presidential
inauguratiOns from March 4 to the last
Thursday in April There is every
reason to believe that the house viii
concur. The vast majority of the
American people viii approve the
change. The reason for the change
is almost purely climatic. During the
first week of March, the weather in
Washington Is usually at its worst,
cold, stormy and clustering, while in
the latter part Of April it is warm,
balmy and agreeable.
Very many prominent people have
come to their death from exposure at
inauguratiOns. There is no sentiment
al or historic reason why the presi-
dent should be inaugurated on March
4. The continental congress by resO-
luton directed that the first congress
should meet on the first Wednesday in
March, which happened to be March
4 So slow were the various depart
ments of the governments in getting to
New York and putting the federal ma
chinery into motion that it was April
80 before Washington was sworn into
office.
subsequently congress passed an act
fixing March as Inauguration day.
There seems to be no good reason why
it should remain so, in view Of the
public desire for a change. Inaugural
tiOns are becoming more and more
popular occasions for visiting the cap
ital, and it seems outrageous to compel
thousands Of people to stand out in
the rain or snOw-and there is always
some kind of a stOrm-during the in
augural ceremonies.-ROcky Mountain

The recent report of the bureau of
statistics of the treasury department
shows that this country exported mer-
chandise to the value of 81, 43S OS3, $50
in 1901. a comparison of our foreign
trade with that Of Great Britain shows
that in the six years from 1896 to 1901
there has been an increase of over 80
per cent in the exports Of the United
States, while the increase in the trade
of Great Britain was only Is per cent.
The growth of our foreign commerce is
further emphasized by the fact that in
1901 our exports were only II per cent
less than those of Great Britain, where
as in 1896 we were 334 behind her. Our
progress is due in large part to the
heavy increase in mineral products and
their manufacture, notably iron and
steel, copper and petroleum.

WAsHINeTON,s BTRTHDAY.
IT Has Been PublieIy CeIsbrated since
I7s1-The Setting OF q P-eoedent for
the Adjournment OF ConeresE.


One hundred and seventy years ago
next Saturday, February -, George
Washington. the first president Of the
United States, was born at Wakefield,
WestmOrslsnd county, Virginia. As
early as 1781 the soldiers OF the patriot
army and the allied French forces cele-
brated his birthday il elaborate fashion.
Gen. Washington then had his head
quarters at Newburg, and wrote Count
de ROchambeau as follows:
The hattering distinction paid to the
anniversary Of my birthday is an honor
which dare not attempt 70 express my
gratitude; confide in Your Excellency's
sensibility to interpret my feelings for
this and for the obliging manner in
which yen are pleased to announce It.
In 1870 the Society Of the Cincinnati
gave a public celebration in Philadel-
phia in his honor. They marched through
the streets and to the executive mansion
where they paid their respects to the
president general. Six years later a mo-
ton was made in congress to adjourn in
honor Of WsshiDgtOn's birthday The
motion was lost by disaffected members
who made a plea Of bad precedent
/ When this became known about the
town a large crowd gathered, which
made so much noise that congress had
to adjourn, aad the precedent was set
Nor has there been any falling of aftel
all these years in the attention paid t.
this anniversary. In-every state IN the
union, except Mississippi, the day is I
legal holiday.
The revival Of interest IN things histo
rical, which has been evidenced in man!
ways in the last fsE years, has given 1
new impetus to the study Of the life anC
character Of Washington. The libraries
report an increased demand for liters
ture on the subject, especially among
children. The practice Of holding Wash
ingtOn exercises in the public school
has become general, and is followed ever
in Mississippi, where there are no stat
utOry holidays. AS some one said nan,
years ago: Never, perhaps, was TIT
memory Of a man 50 hOnored, for Deve
had there lived before a public maj
whose virtues only can be remembered.

DEAD BODY STANDS UP

Special TO The Journal.
Negaunee, Mich, March 12.-The work
mon engaged in the search for the bodies
of nine victims of the Negaunee mine dis
aster of Jan. Z, to-day came in view of
one body, but the ground was caving so
badly in the immediate vicinity that they
have thus far been unable to take it out.
The ground is being securely timbered
and it is expected the body will be re-

standing erect, Indicating that the fall
of ground caught the victim while in that
position.

The report states that Lake Superior
ores are of better grade than those
from any other part of the unltea
States, and that the actual amount OF
iron produced in the Lake Superior,
region is four fifths of the totai
amount produced in the United states

REORGANIZATION ASSURED.
Property of Consolidated Land com.
Pauy to be Sold. by Decree Of Court.

The re- organization cf the Consoli-
dated Land Co. is now an assured fact
For several months past interested
parties have been hard at work to
bring about & re organization Of the
company and take the property out
of the hands Of the receivers and place
it on solid fina ncial foundation. One
Of the first moves in this direction is
the decree OF Judge Bum in the fore.
closure proceedings pending before
him in the United States Court at
Madison, ordering the property sold.
The sale of the property will take
place in February, 1902 at the easterly
front door of the court house of Doug
las county The proceeds of the sale
will apply in liquidating the com
panys liabilities amounting in az to
about $500, 0oo.
The judge also issued separate
order directing the receivers to sell
imme diately certain parcels of the
property to the Northwestern I'M
provemenr company for s1O6, 900. This
money is to be applied on the back
taxes of all the property, the cost Of
court, attorneys fees and other
charges growing out Of the present
suit.
The re organization Of this powerful
company means much to the city and
especially to the East East.
