From Harper's Weekly.
 That the geographical area of the Uni ted States Is not fully comprehended by the average foreigner Is illustrated by an anecdote told by Jefferson De Angelis, the comedian who Is starring in Fan tana.' An Englishman. accompanied by his valet. had been travelling due west from New York for four days. At the end of the fourth day, master and ser want seated themselves in the smoker of the train, whence the man looked steadily out of the car window. At last his com panlon grew curious. ''John," he said, 'of what you are thinkng?"
 'I was just thinking, sir, about the discovery of Hamerica," replied the valet. "Columbus didn't do such a wonderful thing when he found this country, did he, sir? Halter alPs said and done, 'ow could e 'elp it?''

YOUNG MEN IN THE souTH-

4 writer in Lesiie's Weekly pays a
glowing tribute to the young men of
the south. In it he says:
The young southern men, often mere
boys Of y and %, are running the
banks, the stores, the hotels. They are
exploiting great tracts OF land, feeding
vast forests into the sawmiIs. They
are the railroad men. the promoters,
the brokers. Oil wells gush at their be
hest, towns rise at their command BY
men under 80 the greater part OF the
business Of the South is now being
done. The northerner who thinks of
emigrating to the South because he be-
lieves he can surpass the natives in
business capacity viii find fOemen
worthy OF his steel-keen, untiring and
fun OF the verve and enthusiasm of
youth The South is the new part, the
young part, of our domain. The West
has become staid and middle-aged. The
young man has come to the front in
the South and with him the South
comes into its own once more"
We venture TO disagree with the
writer's statement that the south has
'oome into its own once more" The
south has not come into its own" It
has just found itself.
All this was there before, but IL failed
10 find expression. The fathers Of these
young men were just as keen and IN
firing, just as full OF the verve and
enthusiasm Of youth. but their energies
were directed to other channels than
the ones they now follow. They chung
too closely to old-wOrld ideas and failed
10 keep pace with the progression Of
their age. Il was not their fault so
much as the fault OF their education.
their traditions. their environment.
They were victims OF a system.
But their sons have departed from the
old regimen. The new south ruthlessly
tramples over the grave OF the old.
Hgoyant, brave, vigilant, it marches in
the van
The south has merely taken the place
that was always its own but which Il
had failed TO claim.

H0CH MURDER CASE BEGUN
Opening Address of Prosecution Ex-

Chicago, May 1.-The jury in the case
Of Johann Hoch, the alleged blue
beard, who is now on trial charged
with wife murder, was completed to-
dav.
After the jury had been accepted and
sworn in. Hoch turned with a smile
TO the reporters. and said:
That jury is fine
Assistant States Attorney Olsen ex-
pressed himself as satisfied with the
men to try the case. HOch became
much excited when Assistant States
Attorney Olsen declared i'm his address
10 the jury that two more grains of
arsenic were found in the body of
Hoch : late wife, Mrs. Marie Walker

The embalming fluid has been Civ

ROWEN'S RECALL

Minister Bowen's recall from Vene-
zuela- is probably not wholly on ac-
count of his difficulty with Acting Sec
rotary Of State LOOMS. A change at
Caracas was almost imperative be-
cause of President Castro's dislike to
Bowen, As the relations between the
United States and Venezuela are once
more i'm the strained condition that has
so often characterized them, the Wash
ington authorities no doubt believe the
situation would be better, served bv
having another man at Caracas. Mr..
Russell, who succeeds to the Venezue-
Ian post, is said TO be popular in Vene-
zUela, and is therefore in a position
10 do more than the retiring minis
ter.
The fact that Mr.. Bowen is already
mentioned in connection with another
diplomatic post indicates that the
LOOMS matter Is not regarded as Sc
rious. It is likely the affair was seized
as furnishing an excuse for the recall
Of Mr.. Bowen without reflection upon
his handling Of the Venezuelan ques-
ton.
Regardless of the outcome of the
trouble between LOomis and Bowen, 1t
may be accepted as true that the ad-
ministratioH welcomed the opportunity
to get Bowen away from Caracas.

pressed a violent personal dislike TO

tariff legislation which should prevent
the United States from invading the
European markets and underseliing
their manufactures. unless some con

yby European manufactures could have
some mutually advantageous openings

by Washington wiseacres as improb-

REFORM OF THE PACKERS.

4 splendid vindication Of the policy
OF making public the results Of the gov
eminent Investigations Of the food pro-
ducts of the country is found in the
expressed determination Of the great
meat packers of the country to abandon
the use Of any preventative that has
not the endorsement of the governments
experts The packers have even gone
50 far as 10 declare against the use of
all personalities.
For this The publication Of the analy-
ses Of the government agents is respOn-
si0le. The packers made no move to-
ward disseminating the use of preserva-
tives until they found that the startling
revelations OF the chemists struck a df-
rect and powerful blow at their purses.
Consumers of canned meats. learning
that they were being systematically
poisoned. ceased to purchase the pro-
ducts Of the packers. The falling off
IN receipts soon showed the packers
that they had consciences. Vt once they
proceeded to meet to adopt bigh-sound-
ing resolutions. which they may be de-
pended upon 10 keep while the consum-
er's eyes are on them.
But il really looks as r great pro
gress had been made in the right di-
rection. The government should not
drop the work at this stage. however
The packers should be watched con-
stantly and the public should be
promptly informed. Frequent and COM
plete reports to be given the widest pos
sible publicity viii do much to prevent
the wholesale trafficing in life and
health that for SO many years has been
a public crime and national disgrace.

AEANILA's ANNIVERSARY.

Seven years ago yesterday Dewey
sailed into Manila bay and wiped cut
the Spanish fleet, setting in motion
forces which established this nation in
Asia overturned all the traditions Of
the republic as to dominion over alien
peoples, and made the Old World rub
its eyes in amazement at the develop
ment over night of new power in in
1er-continentaI affairs.
Developments have come fast since
that eventful day, so fast that even the
closest observers have scarcely been
able to follow their trend OF foresee
their ultimate results Great Britain
has changed the map of South Africa
since then; the newest Of Asiatic ma
lions has hUmbIed the most autocratic
and supposedly the most powerful of
all governments; the key to the Pacific
on the isthmus has passed into control
of the United States. and the star Of
empire has risen definitely on the
shores Of the great western ocean.
Although none perceived it at the
time, the accident Of Dewey's presence
in Asiatic waters when war opened.
has led to greater world changes than
any event since Nelson's victory at
Trafalgar. Through il the United States
P has become a potent factor in the far
east because of its own interests there.

We stood as the advocates of freedom

We have become the owners of depen-
denotes and rulers of subjects by mil

CMALL NATIONAL BANKS.

Figures that have been made public
at Washington recently. seem to prove
conclUsiveIy the success of the law
permitting the organization of national
banks with small capital. The law has
been in operation five years and dur
ing that time 1883 banks have been or
ganized, while SS5. 100000 has been add
ed TO the stock of the national banks
Of the country. Deposits have in
creased by more than $4O,0O0,oO0
Much Of this increase is undoubtedly
due TO the organization of the small
banks Many small communities that
had been obliged to get along without
banking facilities have awaited them
selves of the law 10 establish small
banks As a result much money that
otherwise would have continued TO lie
idle in the hands Of individuals has
found its way TO the banks and is in
general circulation.
The west has participated largely in
the change brought about by the es-
tabHshment of the small banks. In
the intermoUntain region especially
numbers of small banks have been es-
tablished in the lesser communities
which have profited greatly by the in
crease, in money thus made available
The government figures show that in
the western states individual deposits
have increased more than 100 per cent
since the law became operative.
It cannot be doubted that but for the
small banks in the isolated communi-
ties no such showing would be possible
and the condition has not failed to
have an important and beneficial effect
on the general prosperity.
