TRIBUTE TO AN u. S. OFFICIAL.

Mr.. s, C.. Mcfarland, u. S. consul at
Nottingham, England, formerly resi-
dent of Marshalltown and editor of the
Evening Times Republican, recently
exchanged consulships with Frank w.
Mahin, who was stationed at Reichen-
berg, Austria. On his departure to his
new most a writer in the Nottingham
Daily Express has this to say Of the
change:
To-day a gentleman leaves Noting
ham whose departure will be regretted
very much by the business confraterni-
ty Of the city, tho in some respects his
interest and theirs were not perhaps
identical. I refer to Mr.. Silas G. Nc
Farland, United States consul for Not
ingtam during the last four years, who
has exchanged" with Mr.. Frank w.
Mahin, the representative of the United
States at Reichenberg, Austria.
"Mr. McFarland's duties did not
bring him into touch with the general
public, of course, but the business men
of the city knew Of his abilities, and
he has been regarded as probably one
of Americas smartest representatives
abtoad. He leaves here with every ones
good wishes.
FTasI had the pleasure Of an interesting
conversation with Mr.. Mcfarland last
night in his office. With him was his
successor, Mr.. Mahin, a typical Ameri-
can Of the highest type. who is likely
to become very popular with all those
with whom he comes into contact.
Shrewd and full Of energy, he has
tactful manner, and. like his predeces-
sor, will make plenty of friends before
he has been long in Nottingham.
at was pleasant to be told by Mr..
Mcfarland that during the four years
he has been here the export trade from
Nottingham to America has steadily
Increased. This applies particularly. Of
course to the lace trade but the mis-
cellaneous exports have also gone up.
Just at the present time, and also
for the past year, the special feature of
the local export trade to America is the
demand in the States for Nottingham
lace machinery, more especially in the
curtain branch.
"This certainly indicates, says Mr..
Mcfarland. that the manufactures
across the Atlantic are steadily grow
ing, and are likely to become a factor
which we here will have to reckon with
in the not distant future.
'.Mr. Mcfarland supplied me with
figures which are doubly interesting be-
cause they have not been published be-
fore. The total value of the exports for
the fiscal year ending June goth last
from this district (including Noting
hamshire Derbyshire and Leicester
shire) amounted to 1869, 47s.77, or an

the convention it was any mans privi-
lege and right to work. for or against
the tariff revision idea, or for that mat
ter any other sentiment they desired
expressed or omitted in the platform.
But after the delegates adopted plat
form, then for a republican paper to
characterize it as foolish, unwise, or a
democratic platform is setting up indi-
vidual opinion as against the many. It's
what we would expect from demo-
cratic paper, but not from the source
from whence it comes.

There was an unmistakable appearance
of another wave of commercial invasion
of increased magnitude. l heard in
every direction comments on the
growth of the United States in it's mil
itary and naval power, as well as in its
domestic and foreign trade. and I do
not believe that there is nation in
Europe that would not do all it could to
avoid war with the United States.

atty. Promises are made by the men,
but the company assumes no obliga-
lions whatever. The contract is a most
inequitable one, and should bind no.

sentative labor men, and 1t is expected

too, that an appeal to the courts would
have, brought similar decision.
1t furnishes one case, however, where
state arbitration will be made effective
If the employers yield to it heartily.
They are yet to be heard from on this
point.
It appears that 1t makes difference
whose OK is gored by such decisions.
In the two countries where compulsory
arbitration is enforced the workingmen
are now objecting oit. The New York
Times says:
I'm New Zealand, which has so often
been proclaimed the one country In the
world where strikes are unknown and
where every difference is adjusted by
the beneficent system of compulsory
arbitration, the plan is not working
well. Several decisions of the arbitra-
ton court have gone against the un-4
ions, for the reason that their demands
were wholly unreasonable and imprae-
ticable, the court has become unpopu-
lar with the workingmen, and the labor
leaders are now advocating its aboli-
ton and the enactment of a law max
ing 1t the duty of parliament to fix the.
rates OF wages and the hours of labor
in all trades. In New South Wales
compulsory arbitration law, founded on
the New Zealand act. has lately become
operative, and one of the first decisions
OF the court was against one of the
most powerful and domineering Of the
unions. The result has been received
with great disfavor by the unionist
leaders,, and to save the system the
court has sustained the claim OF the
union for recognition of its right to
use it's funds for the publication Of a
to advocate socialism and
to require every member to subscribe
to 1t, whether he approves it or not.
Judged by it's net results. compulsory
arbitration is failure III Australia and
New Zealand. Those who quote anti
podeon experience as warranting plac-
ing weapon so dangerous in the hands
OF the labor leaders in a state in which
the labor vote is counted as of more
consequence than any material interest
involved, would do well to advise them
selves as to the facts.
Discussion and study OF this subject
will go on, it is hoped, until the best
course of action can be outlined.

IOWA NOTES AND OPINIONS.

In referring to Boies' run for cons
gress. the Humboldt Republican asks,
What have they got 1t in for the old
governor for, anyway? He never did
anything very bad
The Estherville Republican suggests
that People can spend what they save
on potatoes this winter towards making
up for the additional cost of fuel"
The Alden Times thinks ut is quite
true that the tariff may need some sur
gical attention, but the people will see
to it that the cutting is done with q
lancet, not with battle Az"
The Rockford Register is, of the opin-
ion that the Iowa idea" on tariff re-
form bids fair to become the creed of
the party on this subject.

BUSINESS A MODERN DISEASE:
Many People Do Not Know How to Let
Well Alone.

Well Alone.
We have only to invert the telescope
in order to find the civilian from his
writing table at home carefully en-
deavoring to instruct the soldier in
his duties regardless alike of military
methods and of local conditions. 9th
er examples of like nature might be
quoted. but the foregoing will suffice
to direct attention to a quality of mind
which appears TO be increasingly
prevalent among a certain class of
writers and takers and which cannot
be regarded as a sign Of healthy social
life. It is not vigilance or prudence
or deliberate and considered judgment;
1t is not even a natural and rational
anxiety, though it may exhibit itself
in the guise of any one Of these. 1t is
mere fussiness. Serving in itself no
profitable purpose, it mingles with and
impedes every useful work, damping
energy and discouraging initiative and
the sense of responsibility in those ems
gagged in 1t. All the while it may be
preaching moderation, patience and
self-cOntrol.
This neurosis Is not confined to any
people or part of the civilized world,
though it seems to be more prevalent
In some quarters than elsewhere.
Wherever there exists a suitable soil
in the form of an intellect equipped
with the visual organs of education,
but without corresponding reflective
power and self-restraint there the
morbid germ develops until it may
even become epidemic over a wide
area. We have already noticed some
| OF it's manifestations and have referred
to the instability of will and the inco.
ordinated action which are it's natural
consequences. In these circumstances
its effective treatment is obviously
most desirable. Fortunately it is a
true functional disorder, and there is
no reason to regard 1t as incurable. If
only the exciting cause be frankly
recognized and grappled with, much
will have been done towards provid-
ing a remedy. In order to arrive at a
successful result, however, it is neces-
| sary to begin by admitting that scru-
| tiny in technical matters, even by
those whom it may concern, may be
! overdone.
1t matters little whether it be car
ried out by a subordinate government
official, by an over-zealous pressman.
or by a private individual more eager
| than judlclous; If superhuous, the ef-
feet is the same. To let well alone is
an axiom synonymous with sound
practice. To say that details of mat
ters not belonging to the province Of
common knowledge should be left in
the hands Of selected and competent
persons is another way Of expressing
the same truth. The contrary method,
that of prying and open-mouthed pub
liclty, is incompatible with successful
business, with the public service and
with the very desirable extinction %

Book Lovers and Their wives.

| In q casual summary of matrimonial
relations woman is generally supposed
to be the abused member of the part
nership, but bookstore clerks tell an
other story.
"You haven't any idea,' said the
black-eyed girl in the old-book shop,
what brow-beaten set of men nearly
all our customers are. When a liter
airy woman comes in here and buys
an old book or any number of old
books, she always has them wrapped
up, and marches off with them, 'as
bold as brass as the old saying goes.
But our men patrons-well, such a
scared and craven lot as they are.
"Only yesterday a man bought a
lovely old three-volume set of books
he paid SIS for them, and they were
cheap at that. But he didn't take them
all away with him-said he didn't dare
to-that he would carry them home
one volume at a time-and perhaps he
could sneak them into his library with
out getting caught at it, Then another
literary man who buys a good many
old books from us never will have
his books wrapped up. He says that
his wife always pounces on him if he
brings home bundle of wrapped.up
books; one book in each coat pocket,
or a single book under his arm will
not always attract her attention. In
that way, he says, he has smuggled
in half the old books he owns; but a
package of books invariably irritates
her dreadfully.
'I'm sorry for the men who love old
books,' concluded the girl; "they all
have such tyrannical wives. "-Detroft

when Mountain Climbing Began

Now that Cecil Rhodes has estab-
llshed the poetry and romance of the
Matoppos it is worth recalling how
very modern is this love of mountains
and mountain scenery. Even till the
eighteenth century was more than half
told their rugged grandeur was re-
garded with superstitious awe on the
one hand, and with entire indifference
on the other. For Europeans the Alps
stood as typical; yet it was not till
1856 that the summit of Mont Blanc
was reached by Jacques Balmot,
tempted by the reward offered by M.
de Saussure, who himself made the
expedition the following year in silk
coat, silver buttons and smart shoes
so little was mountaineering under,
stood. But it was not till after 1851,
the year when Albert Smith, having
climbed Mont Blanc, gave a popular
entertainment at the Egyptian Hall
concerning his experiences that the
great rush of tourists to Mont Blanc
and the Alps began. Whereas be.
tween 1856 and 1850 there Were only
fifty-seven ascents. and then mostly
for scientific purposes, from 1852 tc
1857 there were slxty-four ascents,
and the Alpine Club, started in 1858
became an inevitable corolIary. Lon

UNFINISHED THINGS.


Unfinished thingsl The verse begun y
In ringing meteor, strong and free;
Yet laid aside, ere it was done,
BY some weak soul of poesy.
The booSs--the books to help mankind
To Danish care and sorrows stings;
Abandoned in the daily grind
The pathos of unfinished things
The sentence broken all too soon,
Before the kindly words were said:
The words that might have been Groom
Where sore affection made its bed.
The plans unheeded-plans that might
Have made of swineherds ermined kings
No day goes by but brings to light
The pathos of unfinished things!
The songs unsung What mellow strains
Had lent their gladness to our lifel
What cadences to soothe our pains
And hush our pretty stress and strife,
Had some blithe measure faltered not
When hands all careless spewt the strings
With lilt and rapture now forgot
The psthos Of unfinished things
