The ship trust was a crazy scheme OF
over-capitalization by Mr.. Morgan, and
it is now owned by Englishmen, and
doesn't care a rap for New York, or
any other American city. yet I hale
sympathize with it in the dispute. New
York can borrow money at three peg
cent. or so, yet it wants the trust to
pay rental Of five per cent. upon the
cost of the docks. That would be we'll
enough IL the steamers had to come to
New York, but when other cities airs
offering pier space at nominal rentals
it does look as if New York might
come down. For a generation the city
has skinned" foreign commerce By
high wharfage charges fixed long ago
by Tweed, by needless pilotage, by
railroad "differentiaIs" fixed by New
York railroad owners In favor OF other
cities. The town must wake up il it
wants to keep its trade. The fact that
the headquarters OF the cotton game

New Orleans is not recompense. New
York has enough business gamblers,
What It needs is business.

Orange rinds in their fresh state
make fine havoring. A good extract
made without alcohol is prepared by
boiling the yellow rind OF a Mediter-
ranean or seedless California orange
with enough water to cover 1t, and
enough sugar to make a thin syrup.
Every particle of bitter inner white
skin OF the rind should be peeled Oh
and only the juicy yellow part used.
This extract, though 1t does not keen
indefinitely, will last as long as any

'tChauncey de Peach" Hehas kept up his
reputation as a charming after dinner
speaker, but he has also proven that his
merits lie a great deal deeper. He has
demonstrated distinct ability on the
floor of the senate, and some of the most
eloquent addresses and sound argu-
ments made on the great questions that
have arisen in the past six years were
delivered by him.
Mr.. DepeW is an unusually well pre-
served and handsome man. To some ex-
tent he has been one of the show
pieces of the senate. In spite of his 70
years he carries himself with an almost
youthful jauntiness, and his dress is al
ways perfect. When about to make a
speech in the senate he dresses for the
occasion in the regulation black frock
coat. buttoned in statesmanlike style
about his form. He is the cynosure Of
all eyes in the gallery. It is not personal
pulchritude alone that attracts atten-
ton to him, for the meat of his speeches
commands hearing and a careful con-
sideration.
The man talked of as his successor
from New York is ex-Gov. Frank s.
Black, one of the most famous epigram-
lists in America. He has a close second
in Representative Hamilton, of Michi-
gan in the house, but Blacks epigrams
have wider circulation and were espe.
cia1ly notable in his speech at the re-
publican Chicago convention last June,
when he placed President Roosevelt's
name in nomination Mr. Black is tall.
thin gentleman, wears glasses and has
rather long hair that clusters about his
forehead and face, giving him the ap-
pearance OF typical poet.

This chief did not raise his head when
the senator entered, or respond to the
latter's pleasant sgood-morning He
went on with his writing, and about ten
minutes afterwards raised his head and
found the senator seated at an opposite
desk engaged in writing.
Stimulating surprise he nonchalaetly
greeted Mr.. Hoar with "How are you
senator? Can do anything for you?''
No, sir; | only dropped in to write a

mildest tone. Then, pressing button,
he summoned messenger and sent his
card to Secretary Moody. In about ten
seconds the secretary came rushing out
with hands outstretched, exclaiming:

In this country since the Blaine-Cleve-

change during the first few campaigns
which followed that battle, but certain
il is that since the contest of 1884 there
has been " gradual subsistence of the

until, at the present time, there is an abb
sence of the old methods which proved
50 effective There is not the same dread
to-day of the demoralizing effects Of the
national campaign. There is not the
same business stagnation. The COM
mercfaI interests have come to so pre-

eraI public, that instead of business be-
ling side-tracked while the political spec
tacle goes laundering back and forth
over the country, keeping people in a
turmoil Of excitement and enthusiasm,
Gt has come to pass that politics must ac-
commodate itself to the exigencies of
business.
The Mckinley Bryan campaign in '96
served to crystaIize the sentiment which
had been growing in favor of saner
methods in national political contests.
More campaign literature was used,
there were fewer spectacular displays,
and greater dependence placed upon the
intelligent consideration of the questions

A WONDERFUL INyENrIoN


1t is interesting to note that fortunes
are frequently made by the invention Of
articles Of minor Importance. Many of
the most popular devices are those de-
signed to benefit the people and meet
popular conditions, and one OF the most
interesting of these that has ever been
invented is the DR.. White Electric Comb
patented Jan. l. 80. These wonderful
Combs positively cure dandrutf, hair
falling out, sick and nervous headaches,
and when used with DR.. Whites Elec-
trio Hair Brush are positively guaran-
teed to make straight hair curly in %
days time. Thousands OF these electric
combs have been sold in various cities Of
the Union, and the demand is conse-
quently increasing. Our agents are rap
idly becoming rich selling these combs.
