WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
A Second to the Motion

To the Editor of The Journal.
Heartily second your motion that it IN
the sense of the citizens of: Minneapolis
that the money appropriated for main
tanning parks and boulevards should not
be used for the purposes of a telephone
company I am carefully nursing num-
Der of young elns and have had them
trimmed Several times at my own eX-
pense Il was naturally indignant when a
park board crew came along the other
day and cut back the tops in order that
the Twin City telephone wires, which
were long ago ordered under ground,
might not be interfered with. There is no
question about the authority of the park
board to act in any way they see fit con-
corning trees in boulevards. but it occurs
to me that this is scandalous way to
use public money, to say nothing about
the direct injury inflicted on citizens.

FOX. HUNT WITH AN ENGINE

y Locomotive No. 1 of the Bloomsbury &
Sullivan railroad, with James Casey, en-
gineer, and Wilfert Lyons, fireman, went
fox hunting on its run, to, Jamison City,
Pa. the other day., and returned with a
half-grown red fox which it overlook and
killed near Coles Greek. The fox sped
along the track for some distance ahead
of the train, but was finally overtaken
and the locomotive passed over it. On the

The government allows, its employees
"sick leave" Of thirty days each year with
full pay. Not long ago Willis Moore, chief
of the weather bureau, discovered that
three clerks had availed themselves of
this privilege regularly every year for five
years. Thereupon he reduced their rank
on the ground that their. health was; SO
bad that they could not properly hold
their places. 1t is likely tosinprove under

Friday Evening,

by the marvellous creation in the Guilt
ing frames! The passing of the crazy
quilt and all the other quilts as home
products and objects of domestic pride
may be highly significant Of the change
which has oyertaken feminine tastes
and ambitions, but we are not prepared
to say right offhand that society has
protited by it unqualifedly.
Furthermore, fair without a crazy
quilt is far remove from the fairs
of other days, and it is not quite evil
dent how the big show at Hamline is
going to maintain it's claim to the favor
of the great public when it loses the
representation of such longtime i'm
portant branch of rural domestic in
dustry.

The proposed visit Of Mr.. Bryan to New
York has made Judge Parkers managers
very nervous. They do not like to try to
keep Bryan away, because they would
probably be unsuccessful and If not in
touch with him when he comes would be
utterly unable to advise with him as to
what he should say. At the same time
they are afraid to have him come for fear
that he will do more harm than good.
There is one excuse, for :" his presence
there, however that may induce them to
make the experiment, and that is his
ability, if he is so disposed, too offset in;
some measure at least the work of Tom
Watson, who is making his headquarters
in New York and paying special attention.
. to that state. ! Watson is an effective
speaker and, unopposed by Bryan, he
might turn many old-style populistic
democrats from following Parker They
might not support Roosevelt, they would
be more likely to vote, for. Watson but
they would be lost to Parker, and Parker
cannot afford to lose them. There is
enough of this radical vote in New York
to be worth taking care of on a close year
like this.

SOUTH AFRICAN TRADE.
Revision to the Lower Plane of Ante
Bellum Conditions,

1t is noteworthy fact that South Africa
is our only foreign market in which our
sales do not seem to be increasing. Elk
ports from the United States to British
Africa were about $11 100000 in the
eight months ending August 81, 1904
as compared with over 10000 600 for the
corresponding period in each of the two
years preceding. OF this $11, 451 900 exports
to all British Africa, $9,659, 600 or SIS per
cent, went to British South Africa. The
Department of Commerce and Labor
through its bureau of statistics has recent
ly received some foreign periodicals which
show that the decrease is due to a general
reduction in imports of South Africa from
all countries. Detailed figures for the pres
ent year are not available to show how
much the trade of each of other countries
has fallen off, but 1t is known that Great
Britain, with It's large trade, has suffered
fully as severely as any other nation.
The African Review of August says that
the decreased trade for the fiscal year
ended June was less than for the previous
year and adds:
THE retrogression is therefore merely a
reversion to the lower plane .of ante bellum
trading, and, though embarrassing for the
treasurer general in estimating the budget
yields no appearance of fundamental de-
cay"
