We have pointed out many times
little of the trade of Central and
South America is because our mer-
chants and manufacturers don't pay
enough attention to packing goods or
dered from them. In the last Com
gress there were long and weighty ar
guments for the ship subsidy bill, one
of them being that with subsidies for
ships we should have lines of steam
er5 to all of the Central and South
American countries. and hence should
get their trade-that it was the want
of transportation lines that prevented
US from getting that trade. AS mat
ter of fact, as we have already said,
the real reason why we don't get that
trade is because we do not try to sat
isfy it in the matter of packing and
credits. The foregoing remarks are
based upon a letter received from a
party in Colombia by a merchant in
New York. 1t seems that the Colom-
bia party ordered two cooking stoves
and when they arrived they were
found literally broken into small bits
The stoves were worthless, and yet
they had to be paid for.
In his letter to the New York 'ner-
chant the party in Colombia expressed
himself strongly in regard to the
methods American manufacturers and
merchants employ in packing goods
for export. He said they seldom or
never Obeyed instructions, and that
the consequence was that the trade
of Central and South America went al
most wholly to Europe. There was only
one manufacturer in the United
States, he said, who gave proper at
tention to packing. and that was the
Baldwin Locomotive Works of Phila-
! delphia. That concern has about all
of the trade of all of these Central
and South American states in its line
of goods.
1t does seem strange that so little
effort is made in this country to get
the trade of these countries to the
south of us. Evidently our manufdc-
turers and merchants don't want
it or they would take the proper steps
to get it. If they would get the trade
| there would be no difficulty about
| transportation lines. The ships would
be on hand IL they had anything to
carry.

For 100 years, maybe, it has been the
rule of the Treasury Department that if
a corporation received a government
check or warrant, that warrant must
be Endorsed by some person specifically
authorized by the board of directors of
the corporation to indorse it before
the treasury would pay it, says the
New York Times. Any bank in the
country, if not in the world, will ac-
cept the usual Endorsement of any cor
poration, but in the case of the treas
ury warrants it was held that the
person making the Endorsement must
have direct and specific authorization
from the board of directors, and proof
of this authorization had to be filed
at the Treasury Department. The COM
panies doing business with the depart
ment had been kicking about this
trife for years-it made an endless
amount of trouble. Finally Secretary
Shaw heard about it. He ordered it
stopped.
But" protested some of the treas
ury people, this rule has been in force
100 years here"
That's long enough for any rule,
especially a foolish one, to be in ex-
istence," said Mr.. Shaw. stop it,,
and if the government loses any money
by its being stopped, 1 will pay the
loss out of my own pocket"
The rule was dropped and a chorus
of approval went up from the people
doing business with the treasury.

IMPORTANCE OF A GOOD COMMITS
SION.

The Importance of putting men Of
ability and integrity on the Isthmian
Canal Commission cannot be overesti-
mated. In discussing this matter, the
Engineering News says: 1T viii be a
national shame if we undertake this
great. work as a government enterprise
| and repeat the record of corruption
and dishonor made by de Lesseps' I'M
| fortunate company 1t is not too much
| to say that the result hangs in large
measure on the Presidents good judg-
ment in selecting the members of the
| commission"
| Congress made every possible effort
to frame the law so that the right sort
of men would be put on the commits
sion, and it is probable that the inten-
tions of the President in the matter
are in the right direction, but I'M
fortunately he is not always free to
do as he pleases in making such APP
pointments; besides, he is as liable to
make mistakes in choosing men for
high positions.
1t would be interesting to know how
many applications are on file for these
commissiOnerships The number must
be very large. Among the applicants
are the names of men who have ire
mendous political influence; others to
whom the President is under political
obligations and doubtless still others
who are Endorsed by financial insttu-
lions and commercial bodies. Just how
the President is to get the best men
out of this number it is difficult to
see. Perhaps he doesn't undertake to
do so, having already decided in his
own mind as to the men he will APP
point.
There is one thing the President
ought to be careful about, namely, TO
appoint men who will not be afraid to
visit the canal and remain there
part of each year. A commission
that would administer the entire af-
fairs of the canal from richly furnish
ed offices in New York or Washington
would be pretty certain to open the
way to a scandal before much had been
done towards constructing the canal.
OF course, everybody that gets a con-
tract either for work or for supplies
is going to make all the money out of
it he can. 1t will require the utmost
watchfulness, therefore, on the part of
the commission to protect the inter-
ests of the government.

Last Words of Greeley and OchiI-
tree.

Horace Greeley was one of the most
profane men that ever lived, says the
New Yerw Press. Cursing was second
nature to him. He even called him
self names that would cause duel IN
the South if applied to a friend or en-
envy. When he realized that he was
dying, he said aloud: We'll. the dew
lis got you at last, you damned old
-" A week after the funeral his
daughter, Miss Gabrielle Greeley,
wrote to Whitelaw Reid, the young cd
itor in the Tall Tower (Tribune) to
know what were the last words of her
father. Reid wrote back: Your dear
fathers last words were, I know that
my Redeemer liveth.' "
Last words of great men are US
ually faxed. 1 believe Tom Ochiltree
was one of the greatest men that ever
lived-the greatest in managing to get
along on nothing. When the old fellow
was on his last legs a Catholic priest
was called in to administer extrame
JUNCTION. At the conclusion of the
rite he said: Now, colonel, you are
absolved. You may rest quite easy.
Everything is wiped out You Will
have a white robe and a pure spirit
in which to enter the heavenly gates. -
The gallant old Texan, rolling over on
his side, remarked in a voice shaking
with emotion; Then you can tell the
devil to go to hell" Within three min
utes he was dead,

She was buttoning her gloves in the
car, and by accident, it appears, drop
ped the hairpin fastener to the floor,
says the Philadelphia Press. A young
man, sitting by, not only picked it up
politely, but offered his services to COM
plete the fastening. He was smiling
ly allowed to do so, as the car was not
crowded. and, though she did not. know
him, his manner was pleasing, and but
few noticed the chance meeting.
The task over, the young lady delved
into her purse, and, producing a nickel,
rendered it in payment for the gallant
services. He blushingly and indignant
ly refused it, and a dime was next Of
fered. His refusal this time was met
by remark that will ever be remem-
bered by the ever-polite young man.
Il have never yet had to pay for hav-
ing my gloves fastened, but, judging
from the value of the work compared
with shining ones shoes, / think that
dime is as much as l can afford for
it," she pointedly remarked, and fore
ing the coin upon the staggered gent,
got off at the next corner.
