aERMAN-vENEzuELAN POLICY.
Heartily Commended for Prudent
 Conservatism-Castro's Attitude.

Philadelphia Inquirer (Rep.)
 4. me Inquirer remarked a few days ago Kaiser. being a man of great shrewdness and good sense, might be expected not 10 play into Castro's hands by precip- ltate intervention at a time when there is ~ least chance that a successful rev. olution may presently render any inter Vention unnecessary. The latest dis patches from Berlin justify that opinion. It Is obvious that Castro. conscious that his position has been severely shaken. Is seeking to strengthen it by the means which discredited rulers similarly situ- trying to divert public attention from domestic affairs by provoking a foreign disturbance. That is he most reasonable explanation of the needlessly insolent at- titude toward Germany which he has seen ft to assume.
 It is not difficult to divine the calcutta lions which underlie his conduct. He thinks that if Germany makes a menacine oemonstration the national pride of the venezuelan people will rally them to his support and break the force of an insur- rection which is threatening to develop beyond his power to suppress Then he Is probably ignorant enough to imagine that in any case Germany will be pre- by the inter position S of the Unit United ss states. Thus he has everything to gain and nothing to lose by repudiating claims dispute. and by. treating Germany with an lmpudent defiance which is evidently intended to precipitate an attack.
 The policy thus described is no less in- genious than audacious. but 1t is likely to fail because the premises upon which It Is founded are unsound The Kaiser ls as The Inquirer conjectured, too in- telligent and too we'll informed to play into Castros hands. as the latter hoped ha might. The German Government means to take its time. Nothing Is to be done until after the German Minister arrives at Caracas, which will be about January 5. and then four Sr five weeks will be consumed in negotiations, intend- ed to convince Castro that Germany re- ally means business and further to dis abuse his mind with regard to the action likely to be taken by the United States in the event of a procedure to extrem- ities. No coercion will be applied until after every precaution has been taken to render it effective.
 So far as the United States Is con- cerned. Castro will do we'll not to make any mistake. If he imagines that be- cause this country intervened between Venezuela and Great Britain it is going to uphold him in an indefensible position. he is greatly in error The United States Is not engaged in that kind of business, as if he keeps on, MT. Castro will dis cover to his cost.

of the American himself. ''a productive agency, the most sl<ilfu1, fruitful and wonderful the world has ever known"
 MT. Shepard permitted himself pes- simistic view of the future commercial and industrial conditions, because of an eagerness to quickly multiply leading to productive and wasteful invest ments, to improvements premature or mistaken, to extrayagant consumption: asserting that the largesses of American production should be distributed so fairly and justly that in truth those receive who create. and that there be no laws or policies working injustice but in time
 President Roosevelt had. in his mes sage, issued challenge which unmis- takably presents the issues of the day. He proposes on one hand an alliance of the great corporate interests, and on the other a military and imperialistic spirit. Wealth under few extremely able men called captains of industry" and the people stirred and diverted by an ap- peal to the warlike and even barbario spirit
 MT. Shepard does not agree with the President that there are no trusts, and to his declaration that much antitrust legislation would have been exceedingly mischievous had 1t not also been inef- fective."
 He. considers Mir Roosevelt's remedy dilat9Fy, illusory and futile. in that it Washington of the trusts, thereby de- priving the States individually of their rights to govern industrial and com- mercial interests within their own terri. tory.
 Mir. Shepard declared his belief in as sociation and incorporation as essential features of modern business and said the Democratic party was not hostile to the legitimate accumulation of wealth. He believed that any State should be permitted to try its own experiments in the administration of its own affairs or even resort to vagaries.
 MT. McKinley's speech at Buffalo was referred to as That last public and ex- alted utterance," in which he had advo- vated a change of tariff policy, at which open-door plans President Roosevelt looks timidly and askance, dealing only in glittering generaLties. The speaker said that the time had come for a per- sistent demand by the Democratic party that import duties be reduced at least to point where the great Thonopolies are deprived of their advantages arti- ficially conferred by law.
 MT. Shepard opposes shipping subsi- dies. favors liberal reciprocity with Cuba, is against the proposed increase of the navy. and reiterates his protest against the retention in practical slavery of the people of the Philippines. The speakers conclusion was:
 The genuine American note,. which we find in Jefferson's messages, and Jackson's and Lincoln's of a sober re- gard for the dignity, well-being and in- dependence of the plain citizen is out of favor at Washington. It is for the Democratic party to return them there into triumphant favor"

Mind and Pain.
Bay Minette. Jan. 8. 1902.

Bay Minette, Jan. s, 1902. Editor The Advertiser:
 I am not a Christian Scientist, but I understand their principles. am a men tai scientist, Master of Electro Therapeu- tics. and telegraph operator in active ser vice; for years a student under the finest scientist of America, and daily practice eliminating of pain by mental process. May explain the above? Mind does con- trol matter. especially of the human sys- tenn: mind is the physical brain envolved by the spirit producing our thoughts. which, in turn. are things. Mind must have material to work with. We see the spirit of God works through material forces. The mind, then. is the dynamic forces of our conscious existence-physi" cal and organic, conscious or sub-con- scious.
 No physician that has made a study of this will claim any organ of pain in the body apart from the mind. The nerves are the telegraph wires to the brain and must notify this organ before pain can exist. Pain, then, is our friend and not an enemy, as 1t keeps watch and notifies us of any obstruction or interference. In case of the boil, it is an obstruction of circulation, and the nerves notifies the mind the same as the telegraph does the railroad officials and your newspapers of any Instructions along the hne. Traffic. then, is suspended. as circulation Is in case of the boil. Where is better proof of the mind over matter than when the physician uses morphine. hypnotism, etc. to deaden the feeling of pain? If this had no effect upon the mind 1t would have none upon the pain. It is psycho- logical fact that the mind does control pain, and is demonstrated every day by noted scientists. In telepathy, We have a nerveless, as in telegraphy we have the wireless means of communication at any distance. To have control over all your pains, aches and sickness is simply to know the power within yourself to con troI them through the sub-consciOus mind Very respectfully,
 c. J. Campbell.

The Chattanooga News throws an oc- casional lit because Democrats in various portions of the country are showing q disposition to ignore MT. Bryan" That is perhaps not proper term to use, be- cause neither the country nor the Demo- cratic Party can be ignorant of Mir. Bryan while he lives. He is a man of parts, of splendid personal character and might be very useful member of the party if he would. As long, however. as he insists on setting up an impossible standard for Democrats to be bound by he will find himself without influence, even if he is not actually ignored.

, It is reported that an X-ray examina- ton of a Chicago mans stomach disclos- ed the presence of a snake which he declares has been in his midst for almost a score of years. There's really noth- ing surprising in the statement that a man who has been drinking Chicago water should have snakes and other marine monsters inside him. but the singular feature of the affair is that it should remain in the stomach for nine teen years. Another thing-if this eX- animation Of stomachs shall become gem eral will not many more of them be found inhabited by the same tenants?

MT. Alfred B. Shepperson is one of the most accurate of cotton statisticians. He is careful and painstaking and because of this fact his publication "Cotton Facts" ranks high as authority. The December edition is full of interesting facts and figures. He thinks that the cotton crop of 19O1-02 will be in the neighborhood of 1O.5OOOOO bales.
 MT. Ellisons's estimate" says MT. Shcpperson. indicates that fully 100000 bales of American cotton will be used by the worlds mills this season. unless there should unexpectedly occur very cx- tensive and widespread depression in general business here or in Europe. A demand for cotton upon this scalo would undoubtedly hold prices considerably above the parity of 1-2 cents in New Ycrk, and should recession occur on account of incrcascd acreage for the next crop, it is unlikely that the decline would go blew cvuts."

Admit Silver Issue is Dead.

Indianapolis Special.
 Mayor Rose of Milwaukee was the principal speaker at the Jackson Day banquet tonight. There were present members of the State Committee Na- tional Committeeman Taggart, who is prominently mentioned for National Chairman, and several hundred State leaders.
 The general expression was that the silver issue is dead and the party must wage it's fight against a colonial policy and in favor of a low tariff and no trusts Mayor Rose said in part:
 'It is not necessary to hold an autop- sy upon the remains of those Issues that wrought such havoc in our ranks. Kind nature came to the rescue ana with gem cIous hand gave the wealth of her riches in such abundance that the supply of one metal is now entirely adequate for all of the demands of business and commerce.
 In tho last great struggle one issue was urged to be of paramount import ance. The imperialistic policy of the ad- ministration in power by which 1t was sought to engraft upon our republic a scheme of colonial dependencies, whS challenged in our platform.
 High tariff may live without trusts but trusts cannot live without high taFr if. These two twins of wickedness are the destroying worms that are gnawing at our Vitals. We appeal to the party in power, but only the mockery of it's brok- en pledges answers our petition. Low tariff and no trusts should be the slogan of the next campaign, and with this for our battle cry the great army of wage earners will rally to our standard"

REPLIES TO PRESIDENT ELIOT.
Samuel GomPers Takes Issue With
Him on Labor Unions.

Boston, Dec. 5.-'The Organization
of Labor Trade Unions" was the title
of a lecture given by Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, before the Twentieth Cen
fury club during the evening. Dur
ing the lecture he dwelt at length on
the reported adverse criticisms of la
Dor unions by President Eliot and par
ticularly on his statement that "the
modern strike-breaker is a good type
Of an American hero" He. thought
President Eliot either did not mean
what he said or did not grasp the i'm
portance of what he did say. Mr..
Gompers said further that if the strike
breaker is a hero, then all associated
effort is wrong, the efforts of the
whole world for social, Industrial and
religious liberty are wrong. IF Presi-
dent Eliot is right" said MI. Gompers,
then Benedict Arnold was a patriot
and Judas ~Iscariot a saint"
