The shipyards of New England and
the maritime provinces are enjoying a
period of great activity this year, fol-
lowing upon successful business ir,
1901, and the outlook for all branches
of the industry is bright. Vessels of all
classes, from small pleasure craft to
great merchant steamships and war
vessels, are in brisk demand and near
ly every yard on the coast is busy.
There are now building or under con-
tract, in New England and the prov
incse 1S2 vessels, aggregating over 10O,-
900 tons, while in addition to this mer-
chant and pleasure fleet New England
builders have government contracts
amounting to nearly $17,000,000.
The story goes that the governor of
Bermuda has stopped the distribution,
of tracts among the Boer prisoners by
the American Tract Society. The
psalms of David keep alive the wa,
spirit of the prisoners and the governor
has seen fit to cut off the source of
such inspiration.
Kansas City papers find satisfaction
in the fact that their city has grown
large enough to have considerable
fire in one part of town without at
tracing the attention of other por-
tons of the city.
The senate has taken the obviously
wise course in dealing with the subject
of Chinese exclusion. The present law
is reasonably satisfactory, and even if
it is not so drastic as to shut out every
clever Chinaman, it is amply sufficient
to guard the country from any Asiatic
peril The demand for more strin-
gent law was largely due to political
rivalry, one interest striving to outbid
another in show of zeal for American
labor until Pacific coast politicians
were committed to extreme PROPOSE,
lions which they never soberly and
with foresight would have advanced.

For many years the western colleges
have been singing their college songs
The compilers of Songs of

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

Differing from the opinion of the
Republican says: The mulct law has
eliminated the liquor issue from every
phase of politics in Iowa. The measure
that was denounced as the most illogi-
cal hodge podge ever placed upon the
statute books has in practice demons
| trated itself to be the acme of wisdom
in legislation designed to make the
| liquor traffic conform to public opinion
| in the several localities of the common
wealth."
| The Webster City Freeman Tribune
predicts that "At the present rate there
will be as many issues as assures in
the democratic party
/ The Davenport Leader gives warning
that las long as supply and demand
regulate prices by the strict rules of
economics, a reduction of 10 per cent in
the demand for butchers meats would
soon bring the price down to normal.
The people in this case have the rene
| dy in their own hands"
The Davenport Republican thinks
IF Mark Hanna were doing the king
stunt in Belgium he would soon adjust
the labor troubles"
1t passes the comprehension Of the
Ellsworth Chronicle How any republi-
can who has been resident of this or
any county the past ten years and has
the best interests of the party in mind
can encourage man to become a cam
didate for third term"
Speaking of the Cuban bill the Du-
buque Times says: THE possibility is
suggested that the senate, from mo-
tives of hostility to the trust, will
aodpt the bill as it stands, but to most
minds it appears that the question re-
naming is whether Cuba will get 20
per cent concession or none at ALL
The Muscatine Journal believes "the
popular sentiment in this state will not
be fully justified till the liquor laws
are made in harmony with the verdict
of the people at the election on the
prohibitory amendment in 1882 or at
least till the people are given another
like opportunity to reject or reatfirm
that verdict"
The Capital asks What do the Des
Moines merchants and business men
think of the idea of, for example, one
manufacturing concern preparing to
go to Marshalltown and another look
ing elsewhere for a location? What is
the matter? Who is to blame? Can
alton somewhere"
after all said and done,'' says the
Sioux City Journal, "the tariff is likely
to present the paramount issue in 1904.
The democrats have been looking for
an issue in every direction, and now
one is likely to be forced upon them. I
And yet the tariff question, to demo-

easements"
According to the Greenfield Trans
cript the legislature is gradually get
ting over its niggardliness in the matter
of the salaries of its officers. and this
fact speaks well for the intelligence Of
the people Of this great state.
