The picture of Miss Alice Roosevelt,
eldest daughter of the President, pub
lished from her latest photograph in
Golfers Weekly, is the likeness of a
very beautiful girl-beautiful in the
truest sense of the term, having ma
tive beauty and charm which are not
at all dependent on any adventurous
aids for their attractiveness. And in
respect of Golfers Weekly, it has no
superior, not to say equal, among the
illustrated papers, in the beauty and
variety of it's illustrations, i'll the val
ne and interest of it's literature. In
both, the paper is popular in the | est
meaning of the word. 1t is good for
amusement and entertainment, for in
struction and for information respect
ing wide variety of men and things.

The Los Angeles Times is authority
for the statement that the liberal pat
ent system of the government is in q
great measure responsible for the pres
ent supremacy of the United States
in the industrial world. The induce
ments it has offered have been large,
as have the rewards of successful in
vention. Improved machinery and
methods have given America an adj
vantage that Europe seems unable to
overcome in spite of her much cheap
er wage scale.

81 AM AGAINST THE STEP. !"

Which of the powers of Europe first
raised it's arm to smite the United
States in the late conflict with Spain,
and sought to unite Europe in the
movement, is now as much of mys-
terry as the identity, in old Know
Nothing times of the man that struck
Billy Patterson.
81 am against the step" wrote
Emperor William on the margin of the
note sent to his government for it's
consideration and approval. While
out i'll Manila bay, Admiral Diedrick
seemed to be very much for the step.
Still, the circumstance that his inn
perial master called down his belli
cose representative in the Far East,
and attuned him to notes of peace and
good will, ought perhaps to be ac-
cepted as evidence of the pacific dis
position, all the while, of William
the Third, which has eliminated in
sending to these shores the Emperor S
brother and the princely plans for his
entertainment here. The Prince will
meet here his old crony of the Kiel
canal celebration, Capt. Robley d.
Evans, and the daring commodore,
now an Admiral with big A, who
cautioned him, in an impending con-
flict, not to come between the Spanish
ships and the Yankee guns.
There ought to be some pleasant re-
miniscences exchanged when the
Prince and Fighting Bob" and Adj
miral Dewey meet in the cabin of the
historic Olympia. The recent devel-
opments, at Berlin, of the attitude of
the German Emperor i'll the matter
of the intervention of the United
States in Cuba, in the spring of 1898,
ought not to introduce chill into the
reception Americans are preparing to
give Prince Henry of Prussia. On
the contrary, the temperature of the
formal functions and among the peo-
pie is likly to rise many degrees. In
the joyous phrase of the Sun of New
York, "Hoch der Kaiser! Hoch der

Republicans generally are opposed to
his programme as calculated to dis
turb condition satisfactory to CAPT
tai and labor, while Democrats are
doubtful as to what should be their
attitude. Men well posted on the
propositions involved aver that the
bill is full of inconsistencies, and as
Democrats are never, no never incon-
sistent, they are finding difficulty in
discovering a way by which they can
at once support high tariff and low
tariff provisions in the same bill, par
ticuarly since their special hobby is
no tariff at all. The fact is, there is
so little support for Babcock's move
ment that it is not regarded seriously
in any quarter, and it is generally
conceded that the bill cannot pass.

rock lodged in my stomach, about the size
of an egg. 1t was so apparent that no one
could make me believe different. People

Well, l felt it for about year. 1t was

Baron D'Estournellesde Constant,
the noted French diplomat, has just
arrived in this country. He will
make an address at Chicago on Wash
inghton's birthday. He says he is
not visiting the country solely for
pleasure, nor to celebrate the glory
of Washington, but to seek instruc-
ton ard take back examples and mod
els that will be useful to his country.
He will try to demonstrate the need
of closer union between France and
America in development and progress.
He says all the European countries
have great deal to learn from the
United States.

A FRUITFUL YEAR.

The great industrial activity of last
year is illustrated in part by the sum-
mary of internal commerce just issued
by the treasury bureau of statistics.
There were in 1901 extraordinary gains
in the trade movement of most of the
staple commodities and losses in only
few. In the past five months there
were poured into four leading spring
wheat markets 1879, 1874, 597 bushels,
the amount in the corresponding
months in 1900 having been 81, 743, =
974 bushels. At four winter wheat
markets, on the other hand, the re-
cord for six months showed decrease
of 10, 900, 900 bushels over six months
in 1900.
The average weekly output of -four
at Minneapolis in 1901 was 315, 1913 bar
rels, compared with 1856, 81, barrels in
1900 and PAT AGO barrels in 1899. The
average weekly shipments were 292,
2ll barrels as against 1884, 73S in 1900
There was a decrease in shipments fol
export, the reason being, according tC
the millers, that the rate on -four was
unfayorable compared with that OF
wheat.
Chicago did not receive so mucl
grain, all sorts included, as it did il
1900, The amount is given as 245, 207,
653 bushels The trunk line move

grain shipments 2,025, 557 bushels

tons a week.

Admiral Schley's journey through
the South and West, says Collier s
Weekly, "has been the means of
showing the feeling of the people of
this country toward this officer.
Everywhere he was greeted by enthu-
siastic crowds, and in Chicago he re-
ceived honors which are exceptional
even in that extremely hearty com
munity. Regardless of the merits of
the controversy over the battle of San
tiago, it is quite apparent that the
people are with Schley' and that they
refuse all technical evidence against
his right to the glory of the great
victory in the face of the fact that
he was the ranking officer present
when the engagement took place.
They may be wrong, but, right or
wrong, they are quite convinced in
their position, and nothing that has
happened recently has shaken that be-
lief"

much widespread interest, has been the

things merely go to show what can be done

The last horse-car has disappeared
from use in Massachusetts,. Two days
ago the railroad commissioners pub
lished their report on the street rail
ways of that state, and in it appeared
the statement that not a single horse
car is used on the 2,215 miles of track
over which 433, 900, 900 passengers
were carried last year. That marks
the end of electricity's splendid move
ment for the prevention of cruelty

stumbling of jaded horses on icy pave
ments. Every friend of animals must
welcome the change.

AN INTERNATIONAL EPISODE.

A suggestion as well as-to Ameri-
cans - extremely amusing matter of
current publication and comment is
the protestation of the powers of Eu-
rope of their innocence of participa-
tion in proposition for a continental
alliance against the United States
during the late conflict with Spain.
Each power, like the members of the
Tweed ring as portrayed by Mast,
points with his thumb to the next
power in the circle as the instigator
of the combine. Russia and Germany
have denied that they had any part
in the movement and France, to
which the circumstances pointed most
directly, semi officially denies that
she was abetting Austria, who was
the undisguised and willing head of
the movement-and the least capable,
alone, of giving it effect
For reasons that can hardly be said
to be entirely unselfish or philan-
thropic, England opposed the PROPOSE
Spain At a very grave period in the
history of the United States, the gov
eminent of Great Britain had gone to
the verge of open warfare with this
country in its hostility to the North.
England had learned discretion, cir
cumstances counselled extreme eau
ton.
The disclaimers the premiers of
European governments have been max
ing, in respect of this matter, would
seem to indicate that the continental
armies and navies were at the call of
the United States shor'd IFS govern
ment find itself overmatched by
Spain. But the battle Of Santiago
was fought and Spain's most power
full naval squadron the Oregon and
the Brooklyn had driven in wreck and
dismay to the coast of Cuba. Coin
cident with this victory, which mark
ed the practical extinction of the
naval power of Spain, European hos
tility was exchanged for demonstra-
tions of friendship, in the expression
of which the nations of Europe are
now vieing. England is ELUSIVE. The
Emperor of Germany is sending here

In the Senate last week some eXcit-
ing scenes occurred during the consid-
Grafton of the Philippine bill which
has not yet been passed. The Demo
Gratis taking the ground that the
measure is sanction of Imperial
ISM contested it at every point and
delivered harangues which it is said
they hope will stand as a basis for the
next campaign. So violent and UNI
reasonable have been some of their
protestations that Senator Foraker re-
Gently felt called upon to inform Sen
ator Tillman that if it were not for his
he wonld be indictable under the law
against treason. AS matter of fact
the Democratic course is open to the
severest condemnation. The insur-
gent are, according to Judge Taft's
testimony before the Philippine COM
mittee, little more than brigands, and
the Democrats are pursuing a sys-
tematic course of encouragement of an
enemy in open revolt against the au-
thority of this government. Nothing
more unpatriotic could be imagined
than the course of the Democratic side
the Senate at time when their
cheerful acquiescence would result in
the immediate end of the strife and
perhaps save the lives of hundreds of
American boys who are fighting in
support of their country and their
flag.
