RRApsT7EET,s REVIEW.

New York July 3i.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say;
 The weather and crop conditions are seasonably favorable, and establishments of consumption to enlarged production is going on. Rains in the corn belt and in the western corn region have removed some of the uneasiness existing as to the outturn of these two great crops, and despite this backwardness, the outlook for general trade has been measurably helped. Iron and steel buyers are still backward. Prices of the cruder forms tend lower. pig iron and billets both de- clining this week. though formation of pool to maintain prices in the latter product is noticed The industrial situa- ton has improved the railroads. having all they can handle with talk of conges- tion again being heard. The country's re- turn of cereal and food products prom ises better than a year ago. in so far as quality is concerned A favorable feature this week Is the reported im- provement in foreign demand for our breadstuffs, considerable quantities of new wheat and old corn being reported taken.
 The first six months of 1903 witnessed a record-breaking production of pig iron. and the same is true of the fiscal year ending June 30.-In addition, 956.000 tons of pig iron were imported. and the im- ports of other iron and steel, partly man. ufactured, make our imports of foreign iron equivalent to over 1,676,0O0 tons. This, added to the production of 1S,7200O0 tons, indicates a total consumption in the past fiscal year of 2O.s96OOO tons total of B. 0OO,O0O tons larger than that of the pre- vious year.
 Cotton Goods Dull.
 The situation in the cotton goods trade Is apparently no clearer. Re-imports of American cotton from Europe are report ed heavy. and a large number of spindles are idle. The same Is true in the Eng fish industry. where short time rules. De- spite the almost certainty that the crop has made favorable progress during the last week. prices of new crop are higher now than two weeks ago. A fair summer business is reported in dry goods. Wool en manufacturers are doing a fair busi- ness and buying steadily of raw material.
 No special activity Is noted in leather and shoes Hides are rather irregular but the shipments from eastern points are 3z per cent larger than this week a year ago.
 Wheat. including flour, exports for the week aggregate 3,19l ,442 bushels against 1 9 7S1, ,esS last week.
 l Corn exports for the week aggregate i BPS S3a against 1,501.S3S.
 Railway earnings indicate an aggregate | for the third week nearly IA per cent | larger than the same week year ago. Business failures for the United States l this week number 190 against 1S3 last | week.
 | Canadian failures number 17 as against | 20 last week.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE PUBLIC.

The haste with which the Florida Baptist Association
Lake City week rushed to the of Rev. Dr.
Forbes president of Seson University is commendabe
rather as an example of the charity that thnketh
evil than for sound judicial A convention of
Christian ministers ought to know that what The public
has right to expect in matters of this kind is
thing besides ''gush."
Dr. Forbes has been charged with gross immortality.
These charges Investigated by the board of trustees
the university last and the board passed
outons generating the doctor Mr. Stetson founder of
the university says the work of the board not hon
est-that it's report was simply ''whitewash." The
board of trustees is composed of honorable gentlemen
among them. being the governor of Florida But Mr..
Steson for whom the university is named who has
given haf-miion of dollars for equipment is also
honorable gentleman, and it is not of record that the
Florida Baptist Association investigated his side of the
story the evidence which his attorney stands ready
to submit. Why?
1t may be that the Baptist ministers of Florida
afford to pass judgment after hearing but side
the case but that judgment is not going to satisfy the
people of Florida Nor should it Salty Dr. Forbes if he
is innocent.
If plain John Doe charged with immortality and
the state failed to make it's case John would suf-
fer in the estimation of his fellows But if the accused
happened to be the Rev. Dr. Richard Roe the failure
convict would not re-establish confidence in the
minister. Plain John would have to be proven guilty
beyond reasonable doubt but the Rev. Dr. Richard Roe
would have to establish his innocence beyond
BILE doubt or his usefulness minister would be gone.
The resolutions of good Baptist brothers simply
vote confidence in the trustees, pride in the university
and its equipment recognize the eminent abilities of it's
president call his sanderers and record their
belief in the innocence of Dr. Forbes They all very
pretty and undoubtedly make pleasant reading for the
accused but they would have been to the point
had the association performed its full duty-made all
honest investigation first and allowed the resolutions to
follow.

THE ACT OF A COWARD.

If it had been plain Bill Smith or Jim Jones who
murdered Editor Gonzales in such cowardly manner
instead of James H. Tllman, lieutenant governor
of South Carolina there would probably have been
a lynching in the old palmetto state ere this
Viewed in all its visible aspects the killing Of
Gonzales was deliberate and cold-blooded murder,
for which the murderer makes one feeble and i'm
probable excuse
Tillman has been an aggressive politician. Con
tales was newspaper man, who had criticized him
sharply and to criticize Tilman in South Caro-
lima seems to be equivalent to lese majestic Till
man started down the street walking between two
friends Gonzales met the three and passed with
out recognition on his part. Tillman did not try
shot at his enemy as the two stood faced. Why?
He waited until Gonzales had passed, and when the
man on TilIman's right was lnterposed between the
two enemies, and Gonzales was not expecting hos
tilites TiIlman thrust one of two big guns toward
Gonzales's exposed side and fired. The course of
the bullett the cavity of the chest from
right to left 1t was fired from new model maya
zine gun, of unusual power, and death was the
suit.
Gonzales was a bold man, but it is not probable
that he was a fool. Tillman excuses his act by
saving that Gonzales had sent him word that he
would settle with him with pistols. Even in such
case brave man would have refused to take advan-
tage of the shelter Of two friends. He would have
let his enemy know his intentions. 1t is mighty
cheap sportsman that will not give even bird u
chance for it's life. Gonzales not armed, and
he denied that he had ever sent Tilman any such
statement He passed without thought of HOSTILE
ties and lost his life 1t will be easy enough to find
among TllImans political friends parties who will
swear to the authenticity of the message but even
if Timan has a letter from Gonzales his act will
still look like a cowardly murder

WHAT is A "COLD2"
The Word That Covers n Multitude
of Ills ExpOunded.

Professor LOhnberg, In the Vienna
Clinical Review, on an essay ON colo
in the head, says that the ordinary
cold is no individual complaint, but
only collective name for large mum
Der of different complaints"
He continues, THE attempt to dis
cover a universal remedy against a
cold is just as absurd as to search for
a generally etticacious remedy for
headache" The particular complaint
of which the cold is the symptom
can only be ascertained by careful ex'
animation of the nasal cavities and
neighboring parts" Hence sufferers
should be circumspect in the use Of
remedies.
The professor says only that which is
true, but of which the mass of man
kind is ignorant. Colds are of innu.
merable varieties, but the most COM
mon one is that which is persistently
misunderstood. 1t is attributed to any
thing but the right cause, which Is a
micrObe.
All its symptoms are those of a high
ly infectious fever, and the public in.
stead of blaming the microbe Of infec-
ton and striving to kill it will persist
In denouncing drafts, wet feet, low
temperature, etc.
They exclude air, the enemy Of the
microbe, from their rooms; they supply
a temperature in which 1t can multiply,
and, having become thoroughly inocu-
lated by breathing the germ laden at
mosphere, they find that cold current
of air causes them to shiyer. The shiv-
ering of the ordinary mind decides the
question of causation.
1t is significant of every fever that
it begins with shivering, and a cold
is no exception.
Cold, wet feet, drafts, etc, are at
most only accessories. By putting a
greater strain on the animal economy
they decrease its resistance to micro
bal infection.

THE KAOIAK BEAR.
His Winter Habits Much Like Those
of Bears the World over.

of Bears the World Over.
The Kadiak bear finds no trouble in
getting all the food he wants during
the berry season and during the run of
the various kinds of salmon, which
lasts from June until October. At this
period he fattens up, and upon this fal
he lives through his long winter sleep.
When he wakes in the spring, he is
very weak and hardly able to move, SO
his first aim is to recover the use of
his legs. This he does by taking short
walks when the weather is pleasant,
returning to his den every night. This
light exercise lasts for a week or so,
when he sets out to seek upon the
beach kelp, which acts as purge. He
now lives upon roots principally Of the
salmon berry bush. and later nibbles
the young grass. These carry him
along until the salmon arrive, when he
becomes exclusively fish eater until
the berries are ripe. have been told
by the natives that just before he goes
into his den he eats berries only, and
his stomach is now SO filled with fat
that he really eats but little.
The time when the bears go into win.
ter quarters depends upon the severity
of the season. Generally speaking, II
is in early November, shortly after the
cold weather has set in. Most bears
sleep uninterruptedly until spring, but
occasionally they are found wandering
about in midwinter. My natives seem.
ed to think that only those bears which
have found uncomfortable quarters are
restless and that they leave their dens
at this time of the year only for the
purpose of finding better ones.-From
big Game of WesteEzftAlaska," by
James Fl. Kidder, In Outing.
