Yankomania in Great Britain.

Earl Mayo in The Forum.
 A decade ago much concern was dis played by numerous worthy persons in this country over what was then desig- mated Angomania. The complaint, how ever, together with It's cause. has largely disappeared. The force of British exam pie as affecting American manners and customs Is far less noticeable than it was even half a dozen years since; but Rritons are becoming exercised over a manifestation among themselves which might be designated Yankomania. The Yankees. as our British cousins like to call us. have turned the table completely, and are today cXerting a greater infiu- ence on English life than ever the Eng fish did on American ideals and habits.
 Throughout Great Britain one hears the American question discussed as a topic of never-ending interest. Some times it is referred to as the American invasion" But whatever the terms em- ployed, the essential fact and one that Is every day more and more widely rec ognized, is that the United States IS coming to exert the most profound in- fiuence on the commercial, social and po- litical life of the mother country. In c word, Great Britain is becoming Ameri- canized.

From Washington to Chicago Tribune.
 Senator Aldrich, the party manager TOT the Republicans on the floor of the Sen ate, was in his seat today for the nrst time since the holiday recess. He con- ferred with various influential Senators and Representatives, including senator Allison. who returned yesterday, and pre- liminary steps were taken for getting together upon legislative program Tor the session. |, steering Committee, authorized some time ago by the Republican caucus, III the meantime matters will drift, the fnli' ippine tariff bill being the order or pusi- ness. After looking the ground over Senator Aldrich said today: ,.
 "In my Judgment the Senate Will m sist on canal within reasonaole time and after full examinaton oi both routes will proceed to act at thls session upon the principle that canal should be authorized before we aaJousnai
 This expresses the opinion of the iead, CTS and of Congress generally that all attempt to prevent legislative action this session by playing off the Panama route against the Nicaragua route, or vice versa, ought to fail. This opinion has not abated since 1t was first formed before the recess, and 1t has not been ma terialIy affected by the supplementary report of the Isthmian Commission.
 The report has, of course, added tne weight of the expert authority of the of the Panama route. That 1t shall re. suit. however. in such delays as might accompany any effort of Congress to decide definitely between the two routes is entirely foreign to the present purpose of the leaders.

The Charleston Show.
Richmond Times


 Two weli-known citizens of Richmond returned last week from Charleston, where they visited the Exposition, and they bring a most favorable report. They say that the Charleston Exposition is one of the most beautiful and instructive ever seen in this country. and that it is a credit to the State and to the South. They speak in very high praise of the beauty of the grounds, while the mechanical part of the Exposition Is most creditable. The management have met with many difficulties and have been de- layed in completing the work. but the show will be in perfect condition a little while hence, and when the grass is green and the flowers all in bloom, it will be as garden of paradise, so our Richmond friends say.
 This is good news. The people of Charleston have shown great courage and industry in getting up this industrial show, and we believe that it will do not only Charleston, but the whole South much good. Southern newspapers ought to advertise it as much as possible, and the people of the North ought to make it a point to go to Charleston and see this exhibit of Southern industry and progress. All eXpositions are not exactly alike. The Charleston Exposition is De- culiarly a Southern Exposition, and we believe that the people of other sections who visit it will find it not only enjoy- able, but in high degree instructive. Nirginians can learn much from the ex- hibit and we hope that there will be a large attendance from this State

THE NEW IsTHMIAN REPORT
Deserves Serious Consideration by
 Congress.
Chicago Chronicle (Dem.

Chicago Chronicle (Dem.)
 The report of the Isthmian Canal Com mission on the offer of the Panama prop erty for $40, 900 has been transmitted to Congres by the President without rec ommendation and has been published in full.
 view of the new offer and the attending conditions is that the most practicable and feasible route forNan isthmian canal to be under the control, management and ownership of the United States, Is that known as the Panama route.'
 There is no inconsistency between this report and the one which was transmit ted to Congress some time ago. The lat CT report is, In fact. reiteration of the earlier one in all matters of vital im- tages of the Panama route even more strongly than the former. It gave pref erence to the Nicaraguan because of the unsatisfactory terms offered by the Pan- anna company.
 The present report. in which all the members of the Commission join. is tC the effect that the first cost of the Pan- anna canal. including the 900 asked would be about $5.500,Go0 less than that of the Nicaragua canal and that the an nual cost of maintenance and operation would be $1.300,00O less.
 The disadvantages as well as the ad- vantages of the Panama route are plain ly set forth. Against the lower cost of construction and the much lower cost of maintenance and operation. against the fact that the Panama route is much shorter and that the time of passing a ship through the canal would be much less is set the fact that the Nicaragua route is nearer to our own country and would afford conmunication between our Atlantic and gulf ports and our Pacific ports in from twerty-four to forty-eight hours less time. that the sanitary condi- tions are somewhat better there and that there are greater natural resources to be developed. But the balance of adVantage is found on the side of Panama.
 The commissioners note the fact that there are international questions. such as the securing of perpetual concessions, the necessary police Jurisdiction and the like with which they have nothing 60 do. They seem to have no reason to doubt that as good terms can be made through dplo- matic channels with Colombia as with Costa Rica and Nicaragua.
 The fact that the report Is unanimous will no douht insure for the Panama route the very serious consideration of Congress-

Evils of Present Plan of Electtng
 Senators shown

From Washington to Chicago Tribune.
 Representative Corliss of Michigan to- day made a favorable report upon a resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution providing for the election or Senators by the direct vote Of the peo- pie. Resolutions of this character have frequently been reported favorably and been put to sleep in the Senate.
 In the report accompanying the reso- iution, after referring to the dimcuity of electing Senators by Legislatures III certain States. the corrupt methods em- ployed, and the number of States being deprived of their representation in the upper branch of Congress, MT. Corliss goes on to say that the impression pre- walls that 1t is as difficult for a poor man to enter the Senate of the united States as for rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
 Lead us not into temptation. con tinues the report The Constitution m it's present form spreads in the pathway of members of the Legislatures moral temptation. through which many good and true men of merit are forced to de. feat and the glory and honor of Sem atorshlp is snatched from the hands of the people by corrupt means.
 Take from the Legislature the selec- ton of United States Senators and you will destroy one of the most potent pow now holds its sway Give the people the right proposed by this amendment and you will once more restore the United States SeEate to the position intended by the fathers of UT country and re- move the influence that now threatens the confidence of the people in this im- portant branch of our government

YOUR BLOOD MADE NEW

Your heart beats about sixty thousand times day. Every drop of blood in your veins visits every part of your body about five hundred times each twenty four hours. Is it any wonder that many troubles arise when the blood is not right?
 IS 1t hard to understand why health quickly returns when you take a rem edy like Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic, . rem edy that purifies and enriches the blood?
 It does far more than that, because 1t Is the perfect example of everything that tonic" stands for. But it would be a wonderful remedy if its power to make red, rich blood was it's only property. 1t IS far better than so-called blood purifiers. because 1t both makes and purifies the blood.
 It is not one of the crude forms of iron that injures the teeth and stomach, but a delicate harmless form that is almost instantly passed from the stomach to the blood. In the blood 1t battles against weakness and disease, and helped by the other ingredients of that famous remedy 1t rids the system of all impurities and helps each sluggish organ to do it's full duty. -,
 If you have skin disease. Rheumatism stomach trouble, nervousness, or if you have any reason to believe that your blood is -disordered or that your health Is running down. be just to yourself and try this remedy.
 Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic has for forty five years been made only by The Dr. Harter Medicine Co.,, Dayton, Ohio Sold everywhere. O

AT HEAD or THE LIST.

According to statistics compiled by The London Mail. the United States is the richest country in the world. That is. the total wealth of this country is greater than that of any other country on earth, being almost forty per cent. greater than Great Britain. Not only that. but our per capita debt is much below that of any other country, and less In the agsre- gate than that of England, France. Rus sia or Germany. Another important fact shown by The Mails figures is that our taxes are lower, taking the country as whole. than are those of any of the na- lions named. We are not only power ,ful and growing people. but a very wealthy and lightly taxed one. compared to those Of the. Old World. The United States arfe nearly at the head of the list. though some of us feel that we m ght be better off.

Only One Chance in 2,3oe, 900.

New 1OrR WOTlu.
 The State Railroad Commissioner re- port. published yesterday, records 2,S@S accidents on the railroads of this State for the year that ended June 30. 1901. in which no fewer than 795 persons were killed outright and 1855 were injured. This was a death list longer by PA names than that of the preceding year.
 The fact is worth noting that of the 795 persons Killed on New York railroads in the year covered by this latest report only sixteen were passengers. This ac- cords with the new World Almanac 6 latest report covering the whole coun- try. which states the total number of lives lost in the year at 1885, of whom only 249 were passengers.
 As the total number of passengers car- ried on United States railroads for the same year was nearly 5T,0Oo,0O0, it is a nerve-quietipg deduction that the chance of death by railroad accident which every person takes who boards train Is 1 in 2,2oS. .00o On the whole. about the safest place for person is on an American railroad train.

A MIXED ARGUMENT.

It is father amusing to read some of the comments of Northern papers on the action of the ladies of Lexington regard ing the Uncle Toms Cabin" business. The amusing partof it is that they al- most invariably jack themselves up with their own derricks before they finish. A paper published at Lynn, Mass, called The Times, begins an editorial on the subject by declaring that "a more ridic- ulous thing than the action of certain parties in the South" etc. could hardly be imagined. and then continues with this unexpected admission:
 The charge that Mrs Stowe's famous work is a libel on the South is undoubt- edly true from a historical standpoint It was not a fair presentation of the case. though the writer evidently believ. ed that 1t was: 1t was written with the avowed purpose of making trouble; and 1t accomplished the writer's object. Would any Southern person criticise the original book more severely than is here done? Tt was written with the avowed purpose of making trouble" de- clares The Times. and that is really charging Mrs. Stowe with more diaboIi- cal hate than Southern people had at- tributed to her. When the book was written the cords which bound the North and South together were strained almost to the breaking point, and the spark nec- essary to kindle a flame which should ilumine the earth with its ghastly light was liable to fall at any time. All over the North were men who were preaching the doctrine of sectionalism and hate, and who were doing everything in their pow CT to precipitate bloody conflict. Yet, with full knowledge of these condi- tions. and of the tension of feeling. Mrs. stowe's wrote this false and libellous book with the avowed purpose of mak- ing trouble"

 There must be some mistake about this" said the visitor. "CSo back and tell him that want to see him personally" Again the doorkeener went into the House. called on Mir. Mudd. and told him what the young lady said. and MT Mudd replied; Tell her am not in the House" Again the doorkeeper perform ed his mission. and the young woman who was by this time thorough,v anprv said: You go and tell my father that his daughter wants to see him" MT Mudd. upon receiving this message, hast ilv secured his hat and took Miss Mudd down to the House restaurant where he gave her nice lunch and asked her to forget it.

THE NORTH AND NEGRO EDUCA
 TION

The New Orleans Item, a Republican paper has been compiling statistics about the assistance given by Northern people to the cause of negro education in the South, while none of the donations come to the white schools. adding:
 Though the South, becoming exhausted from a war waged upon her with such destruction, has had to carry the burden Of educating the negro; though she has been drained of her substance to pay pen sions to Northern soldiers; though she has contributed her share to the vast fortunes amassed by men like Rockefeller ana Carnegie. she has been practically ignored in the matter of benefactions
 The Item then details some of the amounts spent by Southern whites for negro schools. and the sums donated bv Northern people for the same purpose. and continues:
 Whatever donations have been given oy rich men and women of the North to the South have been to the negro schools. The Item Is not complaining. The South IS not begging aims, and we can educate our own people. but We have a right to crlticise the marked abhorrence of the rich people of the North towards any penevolence which has a Southern white tace. And still the Civil War has been over for thirty-seven years and most of those who participated in it have crossed over the river and are resting under the trees ''o
 No. "the South is not begging aims" but the Southern people are not blind shA ern people who are so free with their money to advance negro education and so parsimonious towards white schools and colleges. The Advertiser, like The Item is not complaining, but it can see, and can resent the criticisms sometimes indulged in by certain Northern people over what they are pleased to call the indifference of the Southern whites to the cause of negro education. If, at the close of the war, the South had said to the North: You have freed our slaves, and now you may educate them if you like" there would have been such a howl as has never been heard outside a wolf 8 den. but instead of that the Southern people have furnished 70 to 90 per cent. of the money for educating their former slaves and are still at 1t. If Northern philanthropists would spend some of their money for white schools and colleges and have less to say about illiteracy in the South, they would be entitled to more credit than they now have. We can edu- cate our own children, white and colored. in time. and if Northern people have nothing to give but advice. they may as well keep it.
