ONCE MORE.

Some things die hard. One of them
| is the notion held by some people in
England that the government of the
United States will ultimately take steps
to bring about the payment of the
bonds of the southern Confederacy. A
correspondent of the London Financial
News directs attention to the highly in
teresting fact that within one hundred
yards OF the Mansion House In the
British metropolis are deposited over
$2o0, 100000 of these bonds. He eagerly
observes that the southern States are
prevented from paying them by act of
congress; that the anger which prompt
ed the destruction of the cotton deposit
ed ais security for these bonds and the
passage of an act rendering PREPARATION
to the bondholders Illegal should have
been appeased by this time. Therefore
it is suggested that the United States
should now permit the South ''to do
what 1t can toward an amicable settle
ment of the debt" These, it should be
remembered, are not the repudiated
bonds of the Reconstruction period, but
cid Confederate bonds, which the South
would surely have redeemed had the
fortunes of war been ON the side of
Dixie. There Is not the remotest posi-
bility that they will ever have any val
ue except to curiosity hunters. Since
the war there has been some specula-
ton in these securities, but, as the
Financial News says: "a person who
bought chances for a repayment of
these bonds at a cent per dollar would
be guilty of a rash, hazardous specula-
ton within the meaning of the act for
bidding the taking Of such chances
Why don't the English holders Of
these bonds try new game? Perhaps
they could hire Mr.. Lawson to put some
frenzied finance into them and unload
them onto somebody

about one-eighth of Russia's. Her own
people have exhausted their powers in
taking s1O0,0OO,OOO of unsecured bonds.
But there are no indications yet that
she will have to give up soon because
she can't get money. She still has her
railroads, the tobacco monopoly and
the excise to offer as security. Min
lister Griscom's report to the State de-
partment does not bear out the theory
that Japan is drifting RAPIDLY into a
desperate financial position. The crops,
he shows, have been unusually good,
the rice yield inf particular being
$22,S2O,OOO more valuable than in 1908.
Imports Of merchandise have increased
heavily, as they always do in a nation
at war; but the slp,0O0,0OO increase was
nearly counterbalhnced by a $6.4Oo.O0O
increase in the exports. These figures
cover only the first nine months of 1904,
but they are certainly enough to re-
move any notion of an Immediately i'm
pending collapse.
The friends of freedom everywhere
are hoping that Japan can hold out
until Russia is made to see that she
can't afford to continue to fight.

lGREAr ann GLORIOUS

The greatness and the gloriousness OF
this country are very dimly appreciated
by many OF us. Mr.. Morton, secretary
OF the navy, has something to say
about a part of it which may give our
imaginations flip. The West, he
says, is at its beginning! People talk
of the richness of the Valley Of the
Nile. 1t is nothing compared to the
Valley Of the Mississippi. That is the
greatest and richest valley on earth. 1t
extends from the Alleghenies to the
Rockies. and its resources are billions,
The corn crop raised there brings in
almost billion dollars a year. A large
part of our cotton comes from there,
and it is a beehive of mining and man
ufacturing industry, We are adding
enormously to the West by the new ir-
rigation works now going on. Take
California. 1t is half again as big as
Italy, and it will raise the same prod
ucts and feed as many people. Never
the less. it has now only million and
half population, while Italy has thir-
ty-two millions. The irrigation works
of California win bring in a'vast area
Of new land. This is so in many other
states. And then take Texas. That
State could feed this whole country and
raise enough cotton to clothe our peo-
Pile for all the time to come.
So however big we are feeling. we
are not feeling big enough. 1t is a fine
thing to be living in this country, un.
der the Flag Of the Free.

Is Incombustible and Can be Worked
With Like Wood.
Have you ever heard Of uralite?
Probably not, for it is new invention.
Yet 1t is well worthy Of your notice,
since it is superior to anything of the
kind that has yet been produced. 1t is
the invention of a Russian artillery Of
ficer and chemist, named Imschenetsky
and its claim to distinction lies in the
fact that It is absolutely fireproof. 4
Uralite is composed of asbestos fibre,
with q proper proportion OF silieate,
bicarhonate oe soda and 1t is supplied
in various finishes and colors, accord
ing to the purpose for which it is in
tended. In a soft form sheet uralite
Is like an asbestos board; when hard
It resembles finely sawn stone and has
metallic ring. Besides being a nom
conductor Of heat and electricity, 1t is
practically waterproof (and may be
made entirely so by paint.) and is not
aected either by atmospheric influences
or by the acids contained In smoke in
large towns, which rapidly destroy
galvanized iron,
Moreover, it can be cut by the usual
carpenters, or woodworkers' tools: 1t
can be veneered to form paneIling for
walls or partitions: 1T can be painted,
grained, polished and glued together
like wood; 1t does not split when a
nail Is driven through 1t; it Is not
affected when exposed to moisture or
great changes Of temperature, and 1t
can be given any desired color either
during the process of manufacture or
afterward.-Dietic and Hygienic Maya

The seed wheat problem is now dis
turbing the northwestern States. 1t is
estimated that eighteen million bushels
are wanted and uthat it must come
from Canada or Europe. The duty on it
will amount to four and a half million
dollars, which, as may be imagined, the
northwestern farmers do not desire to
pass over to the government. The cost
OF the grain. all told, will be fully
eighteen or twenty millions.

Japan can do many things well. Her
official control of the use of opium in
Fornlosa is success. Its import into
that island fell from $769,110 in 1902 to
$5s4,oa5 in 1903, a decrease Of $175,ooo.
The price is fixed by government, and
selling agents are only allowed a profit
of 11s per cent. Since late In 1900 the
number Of opium smokers in Formosa
has decreased by about a Thousand a
month. Each opium smoker has to be
registered. Public opinion as well as
the law is against its use.
