GERMANY ~ SALVADOR.

remarkable development of German com
mercial enterprise and competition against the
United States in Latin America is reported
from Salvador. 1t comes by the authentic way
of Frankfort-on-the-Main. The Worlds Trade
which is leading organ of German export in
terests. announces that an industrial exhibition
is to be held at San Salvador next year. 1t
will begin July Is and continue for eight
months. It is intended to promote commercial
interests in Salvador. and also in the other
Central American States. 1t is not, however,
TO be universal exhibition or Pan-American
exhibition. On the contrary, it is to be distinct
ly anti-American and Pan-German.
According to THE Worlds Trade" there
lists in the leading circles of Salvador "a GER
tain aversion against North American prod
"ucts. as also against the United States" There
also exists strong sympathy with Germany
and German productions" 1t is because of
these feelings that this exhibition has been
planned. Precisely who getting 1t up does
not appear, but 1t is to be assumed that both
Germans and Salvadoreans are concerned in It.
At any rate "it will be literally supported by
the government'-of Salvador. AS for its
scope, it will in the main be an exhibition Of
German industrial products. Such COM
pete with those of the United States will re-
-ceve special attention" Austrian and Swiss
exhibits viii be received. 'but products of North
America will be excluded" The paper quoted
adds that il Is expected the exhibition will be
well patronized by the people of the various
Central American States and WILL Of course,
receive the support of German manufacturers
and all interested in German trade
We should think 1t is a shrewd move on
Germany's part; more shrewd by far than on
the part of Salvador. Germany has an un-
a. ;nI,{ la
Salvador to give It hospitality. Or If it be
Salvadorean enterprise, Salvador has a right
to hold it and Germany to participate in 1t and
take advantage of it. But it would not be
creditabie to United States commercial enter
prise TO let 1t pass unchaeDged and TO sur
render the field TO German competition. On
the contrary, United States competition should
be stimulated by this very incident TO sti
greater endeavors. If Americans have futtered
the dove cotes in Corioli by carrying their
terprise into Germany and Austria, they should
surely be able to hold their against Ger
man and Austrian competition in Central
America. They can do But they cannot do
so by sitting still. In the eight months begin
ming on July Is next they should in the most
practical and aggressive manner demonstrate
to the people of San Salvador, and of all Sal
vador and of all the Central American States.
the superiority of American industrial products
over those of Germany, and the greater ad-
vantage OF dealing with Americans than with
the tradesmen OF any European State.

PAGERS AND TROTTERS.

The unbeaten PAGER Dan Patch, the present
champion of the class of harness horses often
called side wheelers,' because of their peculiar
gait which seems to be a conglomerate of the
characteristics of the lope the canter the gal
lop, the run and the trot, has been sold for a
price said to be in excess Of any ever paid
before for animal of this type. The genuine
American animal with the true trotting action
has not reached the two-rninute mark for a
mile, and may, perchance. not accomplish that
feat for years to come. But Star Pointer sew
eral seasons ago paced a full mile in 1894, and
Dan Patch has equalled that exploit
Only in the United States is there a market
of Importance for fleet side wheelers" Trot-
ting contests on racetracks have gained some
popularity in France and Germany, in Russia
and Australia. although they have been and are
still rather lightly esteemed in England But
many Yankee trotters have been sold abroad
for driving upon the excellent roads of Great
Britain and the Continent of Europe Nowhere
outside of this country, however. are PAGERS in
eager request When they picking up their
heels and devouring space at top speed they
far from exhibiting the choicest flights of
the poetry of motion. Yet the heetest among
them defeat the fastest of trotters and
upon American speedways and tracks they
the applause of hosts of adnliring specta
tors.
No PAGER has ever been valued so highly as
an Arion or an Axtell, and the champion trot-
ters of the highest class are more worthy of
public favor than the most rapid side wheeler
ever foaled. Yet it must be admitted ungrudg-
ingly, even by the most jealous devotee of the
trotter that Star Pointer in his best estate was
a wonder and that Dan Patch is now anotber
marvel in his way. Moreover, 1t is generally
expected that Dan Patch will lower the pacing
record of 1:59A next year. His future per-
formances will have throngs of hopeful fol-
lowers

PROGRESS IN PORTO RICO.

The United States seems to be doing its plain
duty to Porto Rico, notwithstanding the food
of Mysteries about the Oppression Of its peo-
pie and the -'despotisn'' imposed upon them
by the Foraker act The annual report of
the Governor of Porto Rico for the year
ended July, 1902, has just been published. and
shows a gratifying advance in prosperity and
civilization. AS everybody knows who has
studied Porto Rico as a practical problem, not
merely in the endeavor to fit it into an a priori
political theory, Governor Hunt has long and
difficult task before him, and his success de-
pends steady adherence to the principles on
which the civil government was founded The
insular administration must be supported with
a firm hand at Washington, and no local in
trigues and jealousies must find any support
here which would encourage Porto Rican poll
| ticians 10 bring their quarrels to Congress for
adjustment Likewise Porto Rico should not
be involved in any Of our home party rivalries
Lastly, the government of the island should be
| left free to develop fiscal and administrative
| policies suitable to local needs, unhampered by
attempts TO assimilate those measures to our
laws and constitution.
The report of Governor Hunt shows 2 re-
markable Increase in commerce and manu-
! factures The imports from the United States
amounted to slo,il9,944. and the imports from
| foreign countries to S2429000 Exports to the
United States We're SS297420. and to foreign
countries S4,592,505 The receipts for the wear
were s239,96s more than the expenditures. not
withsfanding the extraordinary efforts to spread
education. improve sanitation, build roads and
otherwise hasten the development of this long
neglected island The number of deaths was

strenuous efforts still further to extend the
benefits of schools. He has succeeded IN awak-
ening a remarkable enthusiasm among the
Porto Ricans The native teachers in the nor
NAL training school recently decided IN favor
of exclusive English teaching in the near future
and one of the instructors who supported the
project announced that if he had not. when the
time came, mastered English sufficiently he
would resign or ask to be transferred to some
less important school, rather than block what
he regarded as an advance.
This progress is the direct result OF American
rule, and it is likewise the direct result OF
American rule under the much abused Foraker
act 1t never could have been achieved if Porto
Rico had been made Territory in obedience
to the dictates of the anti-mperialists and the
timfd Republicans who were carried on their
feet by the clamor of 1900. A large part OF the
income which permitted the building OF roads
and schools has from duties on that
S2,429,OO0 of foreign imports and from local
revenue imposts spirits and tobacco. Ii the
revenue laws Of the United States had been e1-
tended to the island under the constitution
every cent of that money would have gone into
the United States Treasury, and the insular
government would have been dependent upon
direct taxation of a poverty stricken people.
Federal internal revenue taxes are higher than
those of Porto Rico additional sum would
have been drawn from the island in the guise
of liberal treatment Under such circum-
stances it would have been impossible for the
island to prosper. AS it is, low internal taxes
and customs foreign imports of luxury or
habit support the needs of the island, and free
trade with the United States supplies popular
wants and promotes general commercial pros
perity. And a liberal government which gives
due freedom of local initiative while guiding
affairs with steady hand, offers the best pos
sible guarantee of progress, freedom and order.

Suspicion of disappointment in MI Maroon
work at Table Head Cape Breton, has been eN-
cited by the circumstance that what looked like
wires were being taken down from the towers
there a few days ago. brief dispatch from
Sydney says that the reconstruction now III
progress is purely mechanical, and is intendeo
to brace the towers more effectively against the
blasts of winter. This suggestion is the more
credible because of the wreckage Of the poles
originally erected at Cape Cod last year All
the same, there is no definite explanation or the
fact that nearly six weeks have now elapseo
since Mr.. Marconi reached Table Head, ana
that no noteworthy achievement has been an
