TEE YEAR AND TIE WORLD.

Tie year which closes to-day has been his
eory making year in nearly all the lands OF
earth. Tremendous deeds Of both peace and
war have marked ii above most years within
living recollection. In our own land we have
lad one Of the most impressive and significant
general elections in all our history, giving a
trend 10 our political progress the full effects
OF which VIII be seen during many years to
Gene. The race question Ia politics, the indus
trial question. the question of municipal admin
isration and Others Of vital importance have
been urged perceptibly forward toward the
radical solution which must one day be made.

SECRETARY METCALPs WORK.

The interest excited by the Bureau or Cor
porations Of the Department of Commerce mas
in q measure overshadowed other imp 1ftant
features of the work which Secretary Metcalf
Is irving to do. Aside from curbing or regulat-
ing trusts he has functions to perform when
NAV be of great benefit to American Industry.
and in performing them he should have the
earnest support of Congress and the people
The isolated, 'what-do-we-care-about-E
stage In American manufactures is past we
have reached the time when success in both do
nestle and foreign trade-and our trade is IN
creasingly foreign-depends on accurate expert
knowledge of the business of the whole world
and readiness to take advantage Of every scien-
titic advance wherever made. MANUFACTURERS
need much the same aid from the government
that the Department of Agriculture has given
the farmers The invaluable service done In
the search for plants adapted to different soils
and climates and In the Improvement Of prod
ucts in quantity and quality is universally rec
ognized. It has added millions of dollars to the
wealth of the country. So, too millions can De
added by furnishing to the manTfactuTer equal
II authoritative information as to markets ana
methods The daily consular reports are OF
considerable value. but their usefulness may Dc
greatly increased. These are now published by
the Department Of Commerce. though the con-
sular service itself is properly left under the
jurisdiction of the State Department, for its
function as an organ OF international relations
is paramount. Secretary Metcalf however
may, and we believe will, make this branch OF
the service more responsive to the neeos OIL
manufacturers than it before the eTnpna-
sis Of special organization was placed upon IL,
and while conSuls regarded the inquiries OF
manufacturers and merchants as something Oh
q nuisance if not. indeed, an impertlnence.
Some little time ago manufacturer of spe-
ciaI line of goods made from imported trop-
cal raw material, whose principal compeuton
came from Germany, addressed letters 10
many American consuls asking certain speclnc
questions of some concerning the trade II his
raw material which went on about them, and
Of others concerning the markets in their dis-
tricts for his finished product. To some or MS
letters he received admirable replies otner
consuIs ignored him altogether or gave an
swers which revealed complete and lndiherent
Ignorance AS O. matter Of curiosity, he al
dressed letters 10 British consuls at the posts
whence he had received the least satisfaction,
and though he had no claim on them, in almost
every instance he received q painStak1ns anu
helpful report
This is the sort of experience which no Amer1-
can merchant anxious to develop American
ly1siness should have. 1t is an experience
which no farmer with an agricultural PROB
lem has Ii Secretary Metcalf receives the

to see the Department Of Commerce become

is the fact that arbitration treaties nave been

THE DUTY OF THE PROSECUTION

District Attorney Jerome has had i'll fort
une Of late in various matters concerning which
calm AID unprecedented persons would have been
glad to see him successful. Here is the Patter-
son case, for instance. His assistant, Mr.. Rand
has carried on the prosecution in a fair vigor
Gus. earnest manner, but has been hampered
from the start by the natural sympathy Of
considerable proportion Of the jurors, who held
themselves in stubborn opposition to the policy
OF sending young woman TO the electric chair.
Then, too, there was the difficulty caused by the
fight from the State of one or two important
witnesses for the prosecution Then the pres
enee OF the prisoners old father at the trial, al
ways comforting and consOling her. aroused
great deal Of sympathy for her.
Mr. Jerome, too. has many difficulties TO con-
tend with in the case Of Dodge. whom he has
brought 10 New York from Texas after an alb
sence OF many months. Certain persons seem
TO be strongly Interested III keeping Dodge from
telling OF oath the entire truth about the case
The District Attorney says that up to the pres
ent time they have succeeded in keeping the
prisoner in so uncertain condition that il is I'm
possible now 20 trust the dubious statements
which he makes
There is a third case OF which Mr. Jerome
now has charge. In which the public feels 10
small degree of interest. Not long ago profess
s!on2l keeper OF Il faro bank shot a fellow
gambler near Thirty-ffth-st and Sixth-ave I'm
the presence of many witnesses. Tho wounded
man soon died, refusing to the last to make
charge against his aSsaiiani. The person who
