The condition of the country was de-
scribed by Speaker Canncn, in his speech
on taking his place as chairman of the
late Republican convention, aud among
other good things relating thereto he said;
LET me call your attention to the fact
that the people of the Uuited States now
haye far greater wealth than the people of
any other country on earth. Capital is
abundant; interest rates are decreasing
and capital seeks investment. Aud while
the law prohibits unlawful combinations.
great blocks of competitive private capi-
tai have been and are being invested in
all theindustries of the country. 1t can
be easily foiseen that when legitimate
plant comes into competition with plant
that is capitalized Tor two or three times
its value, the oyer-capitalized plant Will
go to the wall. 1t is an open secret that
within the last two years the shrinkage
from over capitalization has been many,
many hundreds of millions CT dollars
The property is all there now as it was
two years ago; but the wind and the
water and the gas have disappeared,
greatly to the advantage Of the people of
the country. And yet, on the average,
say again, our people are better en-
ployed, aud at a better wage, and have
been for the last twelve months than ever
before, and Notwithstanding this great
shrinkage Of fictitious values, the mill
ions Of people throughout the country
who live in the sweat of their faces, do
not know thereof, and are not affected
thereby

EXClSEMAN BURNS.
The Way an Old Woman Outwittcd
the scotch Poet.


A story is told about Burns in his
capacity of exclseman. Old Jean Da.
wilson kept small whisky shop and
was suspected of putting more fresh
water into her liquor than was need
ful or lawful. Burns accordingly came
with his apparatus ana at once detect
ell the irregularity. "Now, Jean, ma
woman he said, Il Gamma tax this to
DumfrieS this night; tbs over late,
But I'll seal it wi the kings seal and
return to lift It in the mornin'." When
he had gone to his lodging Jean fetched
the village cooper, who removed hoop
from the barrel and bored hole,
through which the adulteratcd liquor
was drawn Off and STUFF of regulation
strength put in. Then the hoop was
retiXed, and Jean, with a brave heart,
awaited the gauger. In the morning
up came Burns TO claim the keg. Zone
minute, Mr.. Burns" said Jean sweetly.
'Yc might Jest test that whisky to
convince me, since | Gamma see how |
could have been maxim sic Il mistake"
ut means breaking the kings SEAL"
said Burns, but I'll just fix on an
other" SO the sample was taken and
tested and of course found to be all
right. Burns was bewildered. "Was
there aught wrang wi me, Jean last
nicht?' he asked. "Weel, Mr.. Burns,
'tis na for me to say Weel just

GENERAL MILES it appears is not
Prohibitionist, which probably accounts
for his refusal to become the candidate
of that party. Even the Rev. DR.. Swal-
low, who has been nominated may not
accept. In 1892 this party polled 249, 1873
votes, but 1896 its total was only lS2,OO7.
In 1900 it ran up again to l99,O55, though
that was some $4,000 short OF the number
of votes it polled eight years before.
There were nearly l4,OOO,OOO votes cast in
1900, and the Probibitionists got about l
per cent. them and then were far behind
their former record. No wander they
have difficulty in getting a responsible
man to head their ticket

An old Clergyman in Maine in dry

The Salvation Army has opened its
international congress in London. The
worldwide esteem which this once scotf-
ed at form of philanthropy has won for
itself is well illustrated by the fact that
King Edward sent the congress an espec-

mentation. About the Salvation Army's
faith the world at large knows little; but
its works are manifest and cammend it
to all men.

SECRETARY SHAw's estimate last Aut.
umn of a Sl4, 100000 surplus at the end of
tie fiscal year was remarkably correct.
He did not include in his estimated expen-
ditures anything for The Panbma Canal
for that was uncertain and had been pro-
vided for; and he did not, of course, in
clude the loan to the st. Louis Exposi-
ton. Excluding those two matters the
actual surplus was Sl3, ,247 ,674, very close
to the Secretdry's estimate.

and landed effectively on Cans stom-
aoh throughout the first round, in
which the Canadian had slightly the
better Of it. In the second round Cans
began 90 land on Wards Jaw, and from
then until. the fight was stopped the
champion kept Wards head bobbing
back with his punches.
Ward showed we'll in the last minute

period. Cans. however. had a de-

somewhat and fought stronger in. the

to slow his superiority over the young
Canadian. In the ninth round Cans
knocked Ward. down with a terrible.
right swing on the jaw and almost
put him out. Ward took the count and
the bell saved him. He came up for
