British Bunting OH Yankee Pine
The British banner floats over Wind
sor Castle from . Flagstaff cut In an
American forest. The fact has recently
been mentioned. and it is typical Of the
tremendous truth that the glory of Eng
land is beginning to depend upon
America for support. An American
stan upholds the British flag; America
itself is the stan upon which Great
Britain begins to lean for support.
Far-seeing minds in England have
long perceived this drift, and when a
prominent Englishman recently made
public his speculations ~ to whether,
should Great Britain and the United
States become one country, the govern
ment of the united powers should be
monarchy or . republic. he but put into
words thought that has vaguely come
to many; a thought which is but the
carrying to an extreme the practical
wish of the great majority Of English
people for close and friendly alliance
with Us.
The glory Of England depends upon
America. She needs our moral support
Of our material resources. 1t was her
sense Of dependence upon US that made
her 90 ready to withdraw from an ex-
treme position in regard to the Nicar-
aguan canal. Her sense Of this depen-
dence might even make her offer favor
able terms to the Beers should united
America demand such course on her

One reads from time to time OF fKs
fabulous sums paid for cigars. A fat
vorite story ia that Mr.. Chamberlain
never touches anything cheaper than
a five-shilling cigar. and that every
time Lord Rothschfld smokes ten
shillings vanish into the ambient air.
According to Mr.. Weingoft, the we'll
known tobacco merchant, al such sto-
ries are the purest invention. As fan
as mere quality Of tobacco. goes. the
best cigar in the world can be pur-
chased for one shilling sixpence, and
anyone who gives more than this num
is paying for size, peculiar shape or
for some peculiar brand which is only
valuable for its rarity and not k5r It's
excellence, says London Tatler
Those torpedo-lil<e cigars which enc
sees in tobacconists' windows inessed
in glass sheathE are mainly traps %
catch the unwary. The most remark
able thing about them = their size
and their startling variation IN price.
according to the locality in which they
are sold. IN the West end they ara
priced at anything between 81 shil-
ling and Is shillings; in the less Eildsd
precincts they are sold for shfllinga

Beef Trust Gradually Obsorbing
Other Food Stuff.
How Long, Oh Lord, How Long
Will The American People Con
tinue to Suffer.

Chicago, H., April 2I.-Be-
cause of the high price for mea
for which the beef trust is blamed
the American citizen will have 4
pay more for his shoes aud leather
goods. The advance which is i'm
minent in the price Of footwear i
due to the higher cost of cattle
which makes the hide as well az
other portions more valuable.
Dealers in hides and leather are
already beginning to feel the eff
fects of the straiued market, and
claim that they will soon be forced
to raise prices Of all feathers in
self defense.
Meanwhile the cost of all meats
goes still higher. Following res
cent startling advances in beef.
Pork went up 2 cents yesterday.
The suggestion that the American
workiDgman eschew meat in order
to fight the trust has already been
forestaIIed, il is said, by the pack
ers, who are thought to have un
der way the formation of a colos-
sal food trust to control The mar
kets in poultry, fish. eggs and
bread stuifs. as well as these of
beef and pork.
public relief in the fruit and vege
table market also threatens to vail
nothing, for the trust magnates
are beginning to turn their atten
ton to control in that direction it
is said. Butchers who have suffer
ed by reason of the prohIbitive
prices for meats, and who also
have been subjected to systematic
blacklisting, are preparing to fight
the packers. The following adver
tisement appeared in local news
