Financial Activity.

MT. Nanderlip, who is one of the vice-presidents of the City bank in New York, was a pessimist two years ago. He then made plea for eau ton, and long afterwards a period of stagnation and liquidation set in. At one time Wall street was on the verge of panic.
 The same MT Vanderlip recently de- llvered an address at St. Louis, before the Illinois Bankers association, and lis hearers saw at once that he had become an optimist. He put the story of the reaction of 1903 behind him. He predicted before the Illinois bank. CTS that our population would within ten years go to ninety-eight millions, and that tho wealth of the country in ten years would approximately be s140,000, ,0O0, ,0CO--a sum too large fo, the mind to grasp. One hundred and forty billions, think of it! No mind

TO TELL GOOD WHISKY.

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.
 "There are only two kinds of whisky. bourbon and rye" said R. w. Schultze of Louisville, the western representative of a large distillery of the Blue Grass state, "and all the different brands are made from blending these two. l do not be- lieve that there is one man out of a thousand who drink can tell a good quail ity from a poor one.
 "When l get out samples of one kind l show a liquor dealer a sample of the other kind and sell him bill of it. He doesn't know the difference Rye whisky is made of one-half rye and one-half barley malt Bourbon whisky Is made of one-quarter rye, one-quarter barley malt and one-half corn.
 "The difference between good whisky and bad whisky lies only in the effect the next morning. Poor whisky may taste as good as good whisky and may have as fine a bouquet and have as good effect on the spirits of the thinker, but |. e suf- fering and pain the next morning show that 1t was not the real pure, good stuff.
 "A man can drink all the good whisky he wants and not feel bad effects in the morning. unless he is a judge-of which there are very few-he will have to wait until the next morning to find out whether it was good or bad.'

A NUMERICAL MISTAKE.

From the Woman's Home Companion.
 Private" John Allen tells us of an old time politician in Mississippi who was making a personal canvass of his terri tory
 "One day" relates MT. Allen, "the states man was doing the southern DOT tion of the state. Suddenly he struck a community that appeared fairly a-swarm with children. Never had he seen so many little ones in so small a place. Clustered about one doorway were some fourteen tots of various ages. In their midst stood an extremely good looking young woman.
 Madam, said the politician with a gallant bow, you must permit me to kiss these charming little ones.
 "The woman merely smiled.
 After he had affectionately saluted each of them, he asked with a genial smife. All yours?'
 ''The young woman blushed.
 "The statesman, with another bow. then said, I trust. madam, that l may further trespass upon your good nature by ask ing that you will be so good as to in- form your husband that Colonel ----, candidate for congress from this district, called upon him this afternoon
 |" Pardon me- gasped the woman, but have no husband!
 But these children, madamp exclaim- ed the astonished statesman, You are not widow?

The Philippines.
the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
 we relieved Spain of this thorn in her flesh, the Philippines" said Judge Par ker to a visiting delegation, ito plunge it into our own" There is the net result of imperialism compressed into an epigram. ''We could have donated to Spain" con- tinued the judge, Ia number of millions and annexed Cuba with equal justice and less suspicion of imbeclity than we de- played in acquiring the Philippines" This is more truth forcefully stated.
 We told the Cubans that we would not appropriate their county. Did it do any harm? Did 1t arouse their hostility to us? Quite the contrary; they subnit- ted gracefully to our control because they knew 1t was only temporary. The Fill plnos resisted us as long as they were able, and they still fight us wherever they get chance, because we offer them no hope of independence.
 If we should promise the Filipinos the control of their own country when they had acquired sufficient familiarity with political methods they would have every inducement to learn the lesson of self government If we refuse them any such assurance and indicate clearly enough our purpose to hold them in perpetual sub- jecton, they have every inducement tc attack our troops when they have a chance, and to make our occupation of the islands as costly in blood and treas ure as the Spanish occupation was. Spain is better off because she has got rid of the islands; we shall be better off when we can get rid of them.

PREDICTS EXPANSION.
vanderlp Makes Enthusiastic Speech
 In St. Louis.

St. Louis Correspondent of the Chicago
 Record-Herald.
 q am convinced that the possibilities of another great business expansion are at hand. but connected with these possibil- ities are great responsibilities. Encour- agement to a wide speculative boom at this time, when improvement Is justified by hopes and possibilities more than by actual conditions might set the whole pe- riod of recovery back month, six months "a year. great speculative boom now of the special dangers
 In these words are found the essential conclusions of the address of Frank A. Vanderlip of the National City bank of New York, principal speaker at the first days session of the convention of the H. linois bankers They are words for which not a small part of the financial interests of the country has been waiting in some anxiety.
 Rememberig the period of widespread depression that followed the utterance of MT. Vanderlips warning note a couple of years ago and remembering also his con nection with the strongest financial CO., teries in the United States, bankers the country over, and stock marekt interests in particular, have awaited his speech of today as the possible start of a new pe- riod in the nations financial affairs.
 Mir. vanderlip spoke with the utmost caution. however, and disclaimed all thought of any ability to call the turn on the stock market or the speculative situa-

Commissions Amonu Doctors.

The American Medical society con demned last year the payment of commissions by the older and better known physicians to the younger doc tors who send to the former cases pre- sumably of difficulty The customary commission .- 25 per cent The prac- tice has been carried so far that some of the you ger or country doctors will not hand over a case unless they re- ceiye the usual commission.
 A recent inquiry from an Illinois town addressed to Chicago doctors elicited eighteen "bids," and the eigh. teen are to be investigated by the To- cal medical society on the charge of a violation of the ethical code of the profession.
 The action in Chicago will be widely Gi cussed and applied. Patients will begin to think that they shouldNnot be handled on the commission basis, especially whel they have to foot all Lills. Many will dislike to think their trusted physician would treat them in that way, but what is done in Chicago i3 probably done elsewhere. The practice has not, let us hope, spread as far towarGs the gulf as Alabama, and the new movement in Chicago may nip it in the bud. Commissions are burdensome ,in trade; in politics they are vile, and in medical practice they are even worse, for they touch in the last named health and even life itself.

Coming of the Illinois Central.

The contract between the Frisco and the Illinois Central stands intact. and it is in course of execution. Un- der this contract the Illinois Central will give the Frisco access to New Or leans, and the Frisco will do a like favor for the Illinois Central in Bir- mingham. The two acts will take place simultaneously, or as nearly so as circumstances will permit. The Frisco is building towards New Or- leans, and it will be about six months before the Frisco's new line is com pleted to a connection with the llli- nois Central near Baton Rouge.
 When that takes place the Frisco will build a freight house and yard conveniences in this city for the llll- nois Central, and freight and passen- ger service will be inaugurated by the latter to and from this city as freely as if that company had laid it's own rails to the heart of this district. The trains of the Illinois Central should be in operation to and from Birming- ham by next June.
 Tn the meanwhile the Brunswick and Birmingham is being reorganized, and the reorganizers are fully deter mined to builC to this town, and Vicksburg and Cantor are striving to secure a direct route thither. We will soon have railroads in abundance, and these must serve until they are to a certain extent relieved of heavier traffic by an Open Warrior

Coal Production This Year.

The coal production of this district in the year 1903, was 11,700,753 tons In view of the strike of the union miners, beginning in July, fear had been expressed as 10 the production of the present year. State Mine h. spector Gray expresses the opinion that the production of the present year in this district will go to 12,50O,- 900 tons, although the strike has con fessedly cut down the output to the extent of 100000 tons.
 Tie merchant operators who have signed a temporary scale will over come some of the loss in the mines from which the miners have gone out The non-union mines are work ing, too, with all possible energy, and altogether much coal is brought out daily. The market is kept we'll sup piled, and MT. Grays estimate of the states production this year may be ret.
 It should be remembered that while Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and Illinois outrank Alabama in coal pro .d1ction, there is close race for fifth place between Indiana and this state. If the production in this district Is carried to 12,5O0,OO0 tons, we will certainly hold fifth place, but if we show no gain over the previous years yield, we will have to accept sixth place, letting Indiana pass above us.
 The figures of tho year will be in- teresting on account of the closness of Indianas production to our own. There is no strike among the Indiana miners.

can grasp or measure such a sum. Our wealth will be in ten years over three times what it was in 1880. rms we can understand. MT Nanderhp says railroad gross earnings will Ill ten years rise to ten billions year, and our foreign trade will, says MT. Vanderlip, be three billions of dollars, chiefly on account of the increase in manufactured products sent abroad.
 MT. Vanderlip goes on to show that by avoiding mistakes on a national scale we can count upon a healthy and steady business prosperity. We have an abundance of natural re- sources to handle. We are in sound financial condition. We can command today international credits. We have just gathered great crops. All the conditions are favorable, but specu- lative spirit must be repressed, II not suppressed. The fever of speculation is always at hand, and we should fight it at every turn.
 Thus far Mir. Vanderlip is beyond criticism. But he should have gone on and explained the dangers of cen tralized capital and monopoly trusts, and even of overgrown insurance cor porations. The focusing of vast un- precedented wealth in New York leads directly to speculation, and if capital continues to be centered In New York MT. Yanderlip's ten-year figures will be equalled in a direction that will prove a danger to the entire country.

NATIONAL POLITICS.
Are We Doomed

From the Nashville American.
 Says the staid old Springfield Repub- liean; TO keep along indefinitely on the assumption that the democrats are not fit to govern is about the same as saying that substantially one-half of the Amer ican people are not fit for self-govern- ment. It is an assumption that gravely reflects upon the country as a whole, for If one-half the people Tn democracy are not fit to rule. then the democracy itself cannot endure"
 This Is the logic of the arrogant re- publican assumption that the democrats are incapable of wisely conducting the af- fairs of government On the other hand, if it be assumed that a party which sue ceeds through the support of majority of the voters of the country will rapidly lead the country to destruction it must be conceded that our form of government Is failure, and that the people are un- fit to rule. The two great parties In this country are pretty evenly divided, not only in numbers, but in intelligence and patriotism The triumph of either Is a triumph and a vindleation of the basic principle of the republic majority rule If 1t be said of one party that it is in capable of governing, or of the other that it's success means the ruin and destroc- tion of the government, the republic or which we boast Is a failure, and the American people are unfit to rule them selves. And no good American with healthy mind and a liver and stomach In fairly good working order believes any | such pesslmistic rot.

Strawberry Culture.

There are many places in Shades Val ley that are ideal for strawberry cui- ture,' said well informed citizen on agricultural matters. Above all other things the spot selected for raising this luscious fruit should be situated where It can be irrigated. Strawberries must have plenty of water and they must have It at the right time. There are plenty of spots in Shades Valley that can be irrigated with very little cost.
 Another thing, the plants should be set out In the spring, but not allowed to pear the first year. If the vines bloom the blooms should be pulled off. First let the roots get a good hold in the soil be- fore they are allowed to bear fruit.
 Strawberries are a fruit that one can always find market for, and for which good price can be obtained. It has also been clearly demonstrated that more can be made with the same amount of work on one acre of ground than with any other crop."

In 1876 MT. Tilden was counted out and in 1888 Mir. Harrison secured a majority of electoral votes under our clumsy system, although he lacked about 100000 votes of a plurality.
 In 1900 the prohibition candidate polled 20S,555 votes; the social dem ocsats, S4,O03; the social labor, 39,5 ,537. the poprlists, 5O,S7S, and two lesser parties, 675S--total 3S9,526. The votes of the socialists and populists will be increased this year, and one will be surprised if the total vote of the eccentric candidates is carried to half a million.
 The total vote four years ago was 13,970, 300, and the full expectation is that fifteen million voters will go to the polls next month The vast army of voters Will be almost evenly divid- ed, whereas in 1900 MT Mckinley had plurality of S32,O00. The winners plurality this year will probably not exceed 250,000, and it may be cut down to half that number.

Gold and Silver Output.

From the Baltimore Sun.
 The director of the mint puts the worlds production of gold in the calendar year 1903 at $S25. .5OO, ,OOO an increase of $29, 600, 900 over 1902 The output of 1904 is estimated by the London Economist at s350 10000, the Transvaal. with an output of s75,O00,O0O. having largely re- covered it's prcductiveness In 19c5 and 1906 there will be further gains, owing to the introduction of Chinese labor. After a time South Africa will contribute to the worlds supply, the Economist thinks, as much as s150, 100000 year. Australia took the lead in 1903, with SSs 210,O00, the United States holding second place, with s73, ,591.c CO., and Africa third place. with $67. .s9S, 900. The worlds out put of silver was worth s92, 0So, GOO. the United States producing s29S22,O00 worth of the white metal and Mexico SOTO, ,000 worth, while Australia produced but s5,- 22S, GOO worth. The Economist thinks that unless new mines are discovered the worlds gold supply will begin to decline decidedly after few years. Already the mines of the United States, Australia and Canada show signs of exhaustion.

GREATEST CATARACT IN
 SOUTH AMERICAN JUNGLES

to believe these assertions. which seem so predict that within year the Falls of Iguazu, will well have taken their place before the world as the greatest nat ural wonder yet discovered"
 In the last seventy miles of it's course the Iguagu river Is the boundary between Brazil and Argentine, just as Is the Mag ara between the United States and Can ada. The Iguazu's channel twists and winds through a lofty, hilly and broken country Twelve miles above it's junc- ton with the Parana river the Iguazu. flowing with incredible swiftness, ab- ruptly turns at right angles and at this bend are the falls
 The precipice over which the cataract plunges Is 210 feet high; that of Niagara 167 feet The falls of Iguazu are 13,123 feet wide. about two and half times as wide as Niagara. It is estimated that 10000O,000 tons of water per hour roars and foams over Niagara; a like estimate gives the falls of Iguazu 14O0Oo,000 tons
 At any time of the year the Iguazu is the greatest cataract in the world, but the sight of it in the rainy season is said to far surpass in sublimity and grandeur it's appearance during the rest of the year During the rains the river above the falls rises from six to ten feet over a width of 30, 900 feet when the islands in the river disappear and the falls assume an indescribable magnitude.

These clubs also manage to have meet ings every week, which are largely at tended and which also bring out consid- erable enthusiasm

"After Election"

From the Boston Post.
 So President Roosevelt is going in for reciprocity with Canada after election" It has been deemed advisable to send out this announcement from Washington to placate if possible the revolt among re- publican business men in Massachusetts, which is assuming formidable propor- tions
 What MT. Roosevelt proposes to do "after election is to reconvene the joint high commission. This is certainly harm less as well as vague. And with the rec ord of the failure of the whole batch of reciprocity treaties negotiated under the Mckinley administration, it amounts to just nothing at all.
 An interesting point is the loading up of MT. Roosevelt with promises of what shall be done "after election" Suppose Roosevelt were not to be elected. How many beautiful reforms would fall of re- alizationl
