Songs Of the Soil"
By FRANK L. STANTON
A Song of Memories.

Why should we care
For little love-trinkets and tresses Oh
lair;
Over sad memories sighing along
When Naytime is music, and lie Is ="
song?
Wher the winds blow the blooms through
the rain-sweetened air,
Why should we care?
Why should we care
For the grace of a dream. when all dreams
may be fair?
Over dead altars all signing to stand
With shadowy forms in shadowy laho'
Oh breath o. the blooms i'm the ram
sprinkled air
Why should we care?
Why should we care?
Is Mem'ry star i'm the Night of Despair :
Life is SC. sweet to go signing along
When the throats o. the wild birds are
thrilling with song,
Blow. blooms. through the sunshiny, ram
sweetened air.
Why should we care?

American Exports to Foreign Couu.
tries.

We have heretofore called atten-
tiOn to the growth of our foreign
trade relations by showing the aggr y
gate value ol our foreign exports, but
in looking over the consular reports
for the current month we have come
across several significant items
which show that while the bulk of
our foreign shipments has been stead
lily increasing from year to year, e
have commenced to export to foreign
countries many of the same kind of
goods which we have heretofore been
importing from them, and that we
are forging ahead of them in the man
ufacture of products for which they
have enjoyed an acknowledged pre-
eminence in the worlds market for
generations past.
For instance, We 1--we made such
rapid progress of late years in the
manufacture of silks that we have
actually cor lenced to export the
products of our American looms in
large quantities to France, and
France, as every one knows. is the
great silk emporium of the globe.
Until recently we purchased nearly
all our silks from Paris on the idea
that We could not possibly expect to
compete with our French rivals in
the manufacture of silks, but our en-
terprising American establishments
have pushed ahead with such wonder
full strides during the past decade
that even France has been fol ced to
admit that we can manufacture GER
tain qualities of silk as well as she
can, and at prices which she cannot
afford to meet. So far as the nner
grades of silk are concerned we will
probably continue to import the-l
from France for some time to come.
but eventually we will no doubt be
possible, at least, if not probable.
that France may sooner or later be-
come dependent upon us.
Still another item in our bill of
foreign exports is tin. At one zine

manufacture tinware at all with
profit and we looked across the wa

pies, but we have lately become sue
cessful in the manufacture of tin
ware to such an extent that We now
supply our entire domestic demand,
and e,~l Wales herself has COM
menced to purchase tin bars in the
American market in the hope of pre-
serving her endangered prestige.
For several years past we have been
making large shipments of cotton
goods to foreign countries, besides

Something Lacking.

(From The Philadelphia Record)
The Atlanta Constitution says that
what the white men of Georgia need
more than anything else is education.
The remark will apply to white men
everywhere. There is something more
than education. however. Philadelphia is
a tolerably literate town. The great bulk
of its population can read and write.
Many of the residents are very high
headed and aristocratic. but. having the
most corrupt municipal government in
the country, a part of the educated cit
izens manage and participate in the plum
dering, and still larger number are too
indolent and uncaring to assist in the
work of reformation. And this is the
city where the Declaration of Independ-
ence was adopted and constitutional gov
ernment set on it's feet. Education and
wealth we have-and rottenness, enerva-
ton and civic decay. The white trash"
in Georgia are not represented by such
men as Matthew Stanley Quay in the
United States senate. Georgia has never
had such a governor as William A. Stone.
No city in the Empire State of the South
can match our Samuel III. Ashbridge.
The Atlanta constitution., 1902-04-14
Justice to the South.

Some days ago We editorially COM
mented upon the slurring of the south
by the administration in the distribu-
tion of nigh governmental appoint
ments. The esteemed Philadelphia
Record admits the facts as we stated
them, but thinks the south fares no
worse than the rest of the country in
these consequences of partisan ad-
ministration.
It is proper that we should recall
the fact that our contention was not
in favor of a republican administration
giving high appointments to southern
democrats. We did not complain of
the victors for appropriating the
| spoils. On the contrary, we expect
that rule to obtain among the repub-
licans, and the exceptions to it are
rare.
We say that the south, by reason of
territory. population and general sig
nificance in commerce and ethics,
should be given fair share OF the
high positions which are at the dis
posal of the national administration.
We expect the appointments to go TO
republicans and we spoke of the mat
ter to call attention to the fact that
they are withheld even from the CO.
partisans of the party in power.
For instance, in the cabinet there
are eight secretaries and only one
Hitchcock, of MissOuri--is from the
south. Are we to understand that
neither President Mckinley nor
President Roosevelt have been able
since 1897 to find another republican
in these southern states fitted to hold
place in the cabinet? Yet we should
have two of the members of that body,
at the least.
On the supreme court bench the
south lacks one justice to equalize
her representation in proportion to
her national status. Is there no re-
publican jurist in all these fifteen
southern states worthy of place
among his fellow republicans in that
tribunal?
The above are but examples of how
the republicans of the south have been
ignored by the administrations under
that party, and in ignoring them the
proper rights of the south have been
slurred. We have in these southern
states many able, accomplished and
| deserving republicans. quite as fit to
be cabinet secretaries ambassadors.
ministers and heads Of departments as
those from northern and western
| states who are now snugly ensconced
/ In those exalted inches. Some of
these southern republicans have borne
and endured more in proof of their
] loyalty to their party. in its odium and
defeats locally, than any republican in
/ the north. east or west has ever
dreamed of in his philosophy of par
| tisanship.
Therefore we hold to our original
ceDtentIcn that the south is being
/ slurred by the administration in its
refusal to give to our republican fell

/ spoils-those of the cabinet and the
| court as well as those Of the menial

soul. II is error that warps life, that
distorts and diseases the spirit. that
sears conscience. that blinds spiritual
vision and dulls the ear of the soul.
Every sinful life is a mistaken, mis-
directed life. II is falsely lighted,
falsely aimed and falsely acting.
The salvation which any sinful man
needs is that light and power of divine
truth that will inform his spirit as to
righteousness and strengthen 1t to do
'the word" that it has heard. The
words of Christ are spirit and they
alone can wholly reach and wholly
saturate the spirit of a man. And be-
cause they are spirit of His Spirit they
are the power of life-eternal life
and can infuse that life into the soul
that is wholly surrendered and loyal
to them,
This is the glory. and power, and
victory of the gospel. that all they
who receive with meekness its en-
grated word have found it able to
save their souls,

HONORS FOR HENRY.
Prussian Prince Will Receive a
Genuine Welcome.
VIII Represent the Emperor at the
Launching of His Majesty's
Yacht on Staten Island
Diplomats Interested.

Prince Henry of Prussia is to be Civ
en- reception BETTING the high sta
tion he occupies and the representa-
tive of such great alton as Germany.
The programme for his welcome,
which will be Immediately prepared, is
almost as interesting subject of spec
ulation in diplomatic circles as are the
reasons which induced Emperor Viii
liam TO send him here.
Prince Henry will be treated with
the most distinguished courtesy. Up
on his arrival at New York he will be
received by representatives of the
president and of the army and navy
and by a military escort. Before he
lands salute of p guns, the number
given to the president, will be fired.
At the launching of the imperial yacht,
which will be christened by Miss Roose-
welt, his address will be answered by
the president in terms as cordial as he
himself will employ.
When he reaches Washington he will
be received by the president and will
be invited to be the guest of the nation.
He may prefer to stop at the German
embassy. Following his call upon the
president Mr.. Roosevelt will return the
courtesy and will subsequently invite
him to dinner, which will be attended
by the most prominent men of the
country. Everything will be done to
make Prince Henry's visit pleasant
memory.
The imperial yacht Hohenzollern
will also be given a cordial reception.
1t is possible that the North Atlantic
squadron may find its itinerary cut
short, and that it will be ordered to
receive the yacht at sea, accompanying
it to port, and take it's share in doing
honor to the prince of Prussia. Such
action will give Prince Henry, who is
an officer of the Germany navy an OPP
portunity to see the latest American
battleships.
In diplomatic circles there is dispo-
sition to regard Emperor Williams

and when she left Cape Nome she
brought with her nearly 100000 in

United States and British Columbia.
I left the Summit hotel on June 6

distance of eight miles, in a driving
snowstorm. We started at three
O'Clock in the morning, but we did
not reach Log Cabin until seven

WOMAN GOLD MINER.
Baroness Lillian Won Tilse Back
from the Klondike.
Brought S2cQ. goo, I'm, YeIloys Metal
from the Frozen North-Un-
daunted by Past Trial, She
Will Return in Spring

Baroness Lillian Won Tilse, a Ger
man woman of noble birth, who is
known as the only practical woman
miner in all of Alaska, is in Chicago
after an absence of four years at
Cape Nome, Dawson City and other
points of the great Eldorado within
the arctic circle. She came to the
state to buy machinery for hy-
draulic mining and ten-room porta-
BILE house, which she will have shipped
in sections to Cape Nome. The bar
oness is only 80 years old and is I'M
married, having taken her title from
her father, Baron Karl Won Tilse of
Leipsig, Germany, who came to the
United States about % years ago and
resided both in Cincinnati and st.
Louis.
She went to the Klondike not be-
cause it was necessary for her to
make her own living, but because
love for adventure led her to seek the
gold fields. A fortune was left her
by her father, and the first business
in which she engaged in was wheat
speculation in Los Angeles. She made
money for time, but finally lost a
great deal, and then it was that she
determined to go to the Klondike.
She left Seattle early in the spring
of 1898 alone, and she has been alone
in her adventures ever since. She
travelled without aid, did her own
shedding with her own reindeer, shot
the swiftest rapids of the Yukon and
other rivers in Indian canoes, did her
own prospecting, staked out her own
claims and then guarded them.
1t being necessary to do certain
amount of work on each claim in or
der to hold it, she called to her aid
two men, one of them an Eskimo, and
the three sunk shafts and prepared
for placer mining. From the first her
