WROTE HERSELF OUT OF OFFICE.

Mrs. Rebecca j. Taylor was, up to a
generals office of the war department.
Now she is hunting for a position some
where else. In other words, Mrs Re-
beca ]. Taylor has been bounced. Her
offense was a sewers criticism OF the
conduct Of military affairs in the Phil
a criticism published in a newspaper
over her own signature.
This was more than the president and
secretary OF war could stand; so the
lady was old she had better seek a
livelihood in some other employment
where there would be no improperly
in giving full vent TO her Indignation
by those human blocdhounds," as she
characterized those in authority over
the affairs OF the war department.
1t seems that Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr..
Root objected to being designated in the
press as human 5~loodhounds," es-
pecially when such uncomplimentary
terms were applied by one of their
subOrdinates.
If Mrs. Taylor had confined her criti-
cisms of her superiors to the family
circle or even had admitted a few per-
sonal friends into her confidence re-
garCing her opinion OF the conduct Of
affairs in the Philippines the matter
most probably would have been over
looked. 1t is said, even, if she had
rushed into print with a criticism Of
some other branch Of the government
she would have gotten off with a repri-
mand. But when Mrs. Taylor saw fit
to criticise and denounce in public print
her own chief and commander-in-chief
her doom was sealed.

IMPORT OF STEEL.

London Statist: We hear that an
American order for steel-if our in
formation is correct, for about 10000
tons of steel-has been placed in Ger
many. The fact is both interesting
and instructive from two points of
view. In the first place, the reason
assigned for placing the order is that
American steel manufacturers, even
the steel trust itself, are all not only
SO busy for the moment, but so fully
booked forward that they are not in a
position to execute the order within
the time required-a remarkable testi-
mony to the continued great activity
of trade in the United States! The
second reason for which we say the
transaction is interesting and instruc-
tive is that, if our information is cor
rect, the order has been taken in Ger
many at such a very low price that
there will be little, if any, profit. Ow-
ing to the great crisis through which
the country is passing, manufacturers
in numerous cases think themselves
fortunate when they can get orders
enough to keep their works going
without actual loss. And in the CASE
here under consideration it follows,
therefore, not that German steel man
ufacturers can work more. cheaply
than those in the United States, or
that, for the time being, at all events,
the cost of manufacturing in America
has been raised too high, but simply
that business is so exceedingly active
in America that the order cannot be
executed within the slime specified,
while business is so exceedingly slack
in Germany that manufacturers are
willing to take orders from which
they expect little or no profit.

NO CAUSE OF ALARM,

Those who see in the order of the
Louisville health officer prohibiting the
sale Of Limburger cheese in that city
a blow at a German industry or an
effort to disrupt The cordial relations
existing between this nation and the
German empire have the matter sized
up wrongly. It is possible that the
official mentioned may be prompted
by pique because Prince Henry show
ed apparent preference for the pro-
duct that has made Milwaukee famous,
to the manifest disparity of the Blue
Grass states famous output, but even
So, his order will not have any ap-
preciable effect on the importation of
Germans odoriferous delicacy. The
amoun of Limburger cheese made
in Germany which is consumed in
this country is so very small at best
that a pound more or less will not
make much difference. In the matter
of making the loud smelling tidbit this
country has shown it's versatility as
well as in other matters. While it
may be true that at one time the low
ers of the tear compelling and nose
~suffocating luxury may have been de-
pendent upon Germany for their sup
ply that time has passed, long ago.
Limburger fully as loud and as strong
of body and physical robustness as
any that ever gave a hazy appearance
to the atmosphere of Deutschland is
now manufactured in this country, a
statement attested by the order of
the louisville doctor, which prohibits
the manufacture as we'll as the sale OF
the article in his city :.
While the sentiment may cause Of
tense to our friends on the banks OF
the Rhein and Elbe, their material
interests will not be affected by the
embargo declared by Louisville's
health officer. Beside, Henry has
seen enough of the country to be able
to assure his Germanic majesty, del
kaiser, and both houses of parliament
that Notwithstanding it's majestic con
tributions to the annual output Of
jags on this side of the ocean, Louis
vile is not the whole country, no moi

OF ENGLISH.

Modern Mexico: The progress that
the English language has made in
Mexico in the last few years is really
remarkable. 1t has not been long
since French was easily the second
language of the country, but today
it is effectually replaced by English.
The Mexican people are much more
apt at acquiring languages than the
average Anglo-Saxon and the ease and
correctness with which many Mexi-
cans who have never been out of the
country and who have had little op-
portunity for practice speak English
is a frequent subject Of comment.
Where a h%alf-dozen years ago only
the large establishments or those ca
tering particularly to foreign trade
employed English-speaking clerks, to-
day it is possible for an American to
make his wants known in his own
language in every store of any i'm
portance. The demand for English
newspapers, magazines and books
among the better classes throughout
the country has increased to a nota-
BILE extent. So much of the important
business transactions in Mexico to-
day have an international character
and so many English-speaking for
eigners are Interested in business con-

Glass Matter.
TUESDAY, MARCH 10, 1902.
HERE is A

Although with not the slightest idea
that any thing will come of it, yet moi
wishing to lay itself open to the
charge that it has weakened and given
up the struggle, The Gazette desires to
call the attention of the Commercial
committee of the Billings club to an
offer now said to be before a north
ern Montana town, and which offer is
open to any other town in the state
that may care enough to look into
it's merits.
A Butte newspaper is authority for
the statement that a Chicago man has
written to the mayor of Belt offering
to erect a wooden mill at that place
if he received assurances of support to
an amount equalling that which he
is prepared to invest in the enterprise.
He says he has $4,000 to put in a
mill of that kind and the sum of his
capital and the bonus of the citizens
is to represent the value of the plant
when it is in running order.
The informant of the Butte paper
declares that the bounty asked by the
protector of the enterprise is beyond
the ability of the people of Belt to
raise, although they may make an at
tempt in that direction. If any other
town in the state wants to make an eff
fort to secure the mill he says its
mayor should write to the mayor of
Belt and obtain the address of the Chi
cago man and enter into negotiations
with him, as the latter says he has
looked over the country and believes
Montana, above all other western
states. offers the best inducements for
an institution of that sort.
1t might be a good idea if Mayor
George were to take it upon himself
to correspond with the mayor of Belt
and at least learn the name and adj
dress of the Chicago man, when o
r~espondence could be entered into
with him and something definite as
certainei as to his plans and wishes.
