In every section of this grand country of ours,

stronger financially, socially, commercially, aud
physically. Its people fairly tumbling over

factor in the great development with which the
whole continent seems aAame. OF course there
must naturally be abuses grow up under such a
tension, for those entrusted with public functions
realsze their opportunities for wrong doings, and
when the whole people are busy, the design

easily works himself into position to afford the op-
pOrtunity These abuses, however can scarcely

The inventive genius of the American has for

has finally come to be conceded that in all advance
ments the American way must be taken If the best

GS5@ffEE-i5eA uous trait extant eur most certain
ly be traced to that famous American game called
bluff," and there is little to be wondered at when,
in almost every game played the world over, the
American gets in and usually rakes in tGe Jack pot
When Mr.. J. P. Morgan went to Europe, and the
telegraph informed his neghbors at home that he
was in fair way to form transportation trust that
would control the commerce on the high seas, every
true spirited American smiled and said: "The old
man Is playing that four flush to the ceiling"
But the result was different ON the other side The
inexperienced foreigner in the run of the American
game took the matter seriously and concluded at
once that ''the old man" had at least four aces
up his sleeve. Glancing about and realizing the
weakness of the various companies carrying on
shipping industries, and comparing themselves with
the gigantic associations lately formed with Mr..
Morgan at their head they fairly tumbled over
each other TO get aboard Of his ship in his proposition
to combine all the great companies operating on
the high seas in one association and they even i'm
plOred the American to accept the leadership Of
them ell. The fact is that Morgan was never call
ed upon to show his hand at all. He didn't need q
cent to cOnsumae his entire scheme but returned TO
bis New York heme and friends the King Of the
seas, monarch Of the worlds commerce. The same
kind OF demonstration was made when our Couu-
try found itself locked horns with poor old SPAIN
When the war department wired Dewey to find the
Spanish feet and capture it, the idea of the old sea
dog steaming into the Manila bay was not dreamed
Of But Dewey had grown gray hoping for chance
to test bis PrOwess with some foreign clan and he
just put up surprise for the bosses at Washing
ton that made their hair stand on end. The only
place that an American bluff don't always go
through is In America. About every American is
