A POPULAR PRESIDENT.

1t is source of qualification to Re.
publicans that our Democratic breth-
rem find so much to admire in Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The claim that he
stands for Democratic ideas and poll
cies can be regarded with levity and
charitable forbearance. The fact that
they admire and praise the man does
credit to their Americanism, which is
superior to party fealty. At the late
Tammany convention in New York
city. fulsome resolutions endorsing
Mr.. Roosevelt, were passed amid
scenes of the widest enthusiasm.

in the local campaign, but much of it

soME DOG sAGAeLTK.

This is the season for dog, snake and
other animal stories. a fine story illus
trating the intelligence of a Boston ter
rier comes from a New York police
court. where the knowing terrier made
his appearance yesterday. About six
weeks ago a AIRS. Betz lost Boston
terrier, prize-winning dog. Recently
she learned that Daniel O'Rourke had
such a dog. and she had him hailed to
court yesterday. The animal was plac-
ed on the bench beside Magistrate Bar
low. First Mrs. Betz called Daisy"
and the dog wsnt to her and licked her
face. Then O'Rourke called "Tessie,"
and the dog went to him and licked his
face. The magistrate didn't call any
thing, but the dog went to him and
licked his face too.
All of which shows the great intslli-
gence of the Boston terrier. If it doesn't
what does it show?

THE MISSOURI MULE.

The Missouri mule is as extensively
and justly celebrated as the Missouri
apple, and perhaps more so. But it is
probable that there are many people
who don't know how many kinds of
Missouri mules there are. There are,
it appears, cotton mules, lumber mules,
railroad mules, sugar mules, farm
mules, city mules, and miners. Miners
are classed as surface and pit mules.
To properly classify these mules is a
harder thing to do than for any other
kind of livestock, and one expert thus
explains the process: Cotton mules are
the commonest kind in regard to num-
Der. Their build makes little differ
ence, so long as they are smooth. Lum-
Der mules are the largest, heavy-boned,
rugged grades, 1873 to 16 y hands, or
better. They are used in the big lum-
Der CAMPS for logging and must have
the weight for good, heavy pulling.
Similar to the lumber mule is the rail-
roader. They are used in grading,
hauling and all the work that is known
in the construction of railroads. Sugar
mules belong to the fancy class. They
must be smooth, built rangy, small
head and neck, small bones. Farm
mules vary in size, but are formed from
the rejected ones of the foregoing
classes.
All of which is interesting and i'm
portant. The Missouri mule is so use
full that he richly merits right classif-
cation.

Mr.. Brandenburg citss many more
examples to prove his point, and, what
is more important, he presents two
remedies for the trouble. He would in
.creas~ the two-dollar head tax on i'm
migrants to twenty-five dollars, though
this would work some injustice on
poor but deserving foreigners who wish
to settle in the United States; and he
believes that we should exclude aliens

cannot earn a living. but are exposed

ANOTHER PREDICTION.

As long ago as 1890 a Kansas man
got up on his hind legs and announced
that very soon there would be no wheat
in this country for export, and hardly
enough to so around here. We believe
he has died without the sight of the
fUlfiIment of his prophecy, and the in
dications now are that for several more
years we shall have some wheat TO sell
to hungry foreigners But the Rail-
way world apprehends that within a
brief period the United States will con-
sumo nearly all of its food products
and cease to export grain. Wheat Gull
ture is passing away from the Missis-
sippi Valley to the cheap lands of Okla
homa, the Dakotas and the Canadian
Northwest, This accounts largely for
the diversion of grain traffic to Mon
treal and the Gulf ports. The export Of
wheat, says the World, is not likely to
continue for many years an important
factor in our foreign trade. 1t is the
same with corn and meat products.
Statistics of exports, which show a
small advance in corn. reveal a heavy
decline in meat, and here again the
consuming power of the United States
is rapidly overtaking it's productive ca
pacity. In fact, the only raw material
of domestic production which can be re-
lied ON in our export trade is cotton.
The inference is drawn that "since the
bulk Of our import trade now comes
from the tropics the lines running
north from the Gulf ports should be
large gamers in traffic. These roads
have already developed a heavy south
bound tonnage, and the growth of inn
ports will likely give them an evenly
balanced traffic and enable them to re-
duce operating costs, which are already
astonishingly low"
It will be. well to wait and see what
irrigation and some other things do be-
fore deciding that the days of grain
exports from this country are past.
