EEH MONTHS HENCE.

If we can live until few months hence we may then be able to live longer and more economically. Meat is going to be cheaper a few months hence. This is not chance predic- tion. It is a statement made by MT. J. E. Church, late. the president of the Ma tional Live Stock association. He re- ports that there is a great increase in the number of cattle, sheep and hogs that are being fattened in the west, and that the price of desired meat of all kinds is likely to come down soon.
 Let us persevere until few months hence. and hope on, hope ever. Per haps coal or something else will be so high few months hence as to offset whatever reduction there may be in the price of meat then, but there is no use borrowing trouble.

 1 Morocco will claim the secratary's s attention very early in his service. Re presentatives from the United States to the conference at Tangier must be selected, and their duties will have to be outlined. We have even less inter est in the political side of the Morocco settlement than we have in that of the usso-Japancse adjustment, but we are expected to participate at Tan giyer, and one of the things We will in sist on at that gathering will be the maintenance of an equality among all nations in Mor0cco's trade.
 We have two Venezuela issues on our hands, one of which concerns Eu- rope as well as ourselves. The strickly American part of the Venezuelan ques- tion has already received the secre- tarys attention in the interview which he has just had with Judge Calhoun, who is going to make a special in- quiry at Caracas in the affair of the asphalt trust.
 ] Then there is the Isthmian canal to be attended to. in which the secretary, as the official head of the enterprise, may be said to hold a sort of steward ship for the world, every nation of which has an interest in the Isthmian waterway. It was Secretary Jef- ferson's task in Washingtcn's cabinet to induce the powers of the globe to accord to the new nation the rights be- longing to it as member of the worlds family of nations. Secretary John Quincy Adams, by the formula tion of the policy called by the name of his official chief, President Monroe. was called on to head off the conten- plated attack by the holy alliance on Mexico, Peru, Chill and other Latin- American countries. In Lncoln's ad- ministration Secretary Seward had, as part of his duties, the task of heading off all hostile combinations against this country. and in Johnson's admin istration, in the enforcement of the Monroe doctrine he brought the pres sure r'o Louis Napoleon which forced him to take the French troops out Ot Mexico, and thus to let the Mexicans sot up with their own government.
 No other head. of the State Depart ment however, has had as many inn portant issues to meet as present themselves to Elihu Root at the out set ill his career, and none had as great an opportunity as he has to i'm press himself in many directions on the worlr's affairs-st. Louis Globe Demo. crat.

INTER ESTING.

Things are becoming interesting in the Department of Agriculture, and it is now announced that rigid inquiry into the methods of the Department of Ag- riculture, not only the crop estimating bureau, but of all the bureaus connect ed herewith, will be forced at the next session of congress. President Jordan of the Southern Cotton Association. in his demand for the retirement of Sec retary Wilson, will have powerful con- gressional backing. Demand will be made for thorough Investigation of the crop reporting system and the en- tire department according to present plans.
 Representative Livingston of Georgia, who insisted on Investigating crop re- ports last session, is prepared to renew his fight next winter, and will have all the support the leading influences in the southern association and the vari- ous elements opposed to Secretary Will son can muster. He IS the leading Democratic member on the House ap- propriations committee, and will be in position to hamper appropriations to the department greatly and compel close scrutiny of expenditures in that branch of the government.
 Good. They used to say, Let no guilty man escape, Some of the guilty men did escape, and perhaps some of them will now. It's a careless world, my masters.

 THE yEW GERMAN TARIFF.

The recent action of the German Reichstag in ratifying the new com- mercial treaties with Russia, Austria Hungary, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, Roumania and Servia completes the work of preparation of new German tariff on which the Imperial Govern ment has been engaged since 1S9S The new tariff law will go into effect March i, 1906, and will remain in force at least until the end of 1917.
 Under the old tariff imports from the United States have been subject to the lower or conventional set of duties, at first under the so-called Saratoga convention of 1892, now no longer in force. and later by virtue of the com- mercial agreement between the United States and Germany Of July 10, 1900. By the terms of that agreement this country was granted the conventional rates of duty fixed by the commercial treaties of 1S91-94, between Germany and the seven countries mentioned above, in consideration of the reduc- ton of duties on imports into the United States from Germany of argols, brandies, wines, paintings and statu- ary, authorized by section of the Dingley act of 1897. This agreement may be terminated by either country at any time upon giving three months previous notice. There is, moreover, a most favored nation" treaty between the United States and Prussia, con cluded in 1928; this treaty may be ter minated upon one years notice.
 The importance of the United States to German foreign commerce is seen from the fact that during the calendar year 1903 this country held first rank among the nations from which Germany receives its imports, U nd third rank among countries of &lstination of German imports, while

THE. ISSUES THAT FACE ROOT.
Secretary of State Is Obliged for Inn press His Views in World Politics.

Secretary of State Is Obliged for Im- press His Views in World Politics.
 Such a collection of important issues never presented themselves to any head of the State Department at the outset in his service as those which confront Secretary Root, as he begins
 his labors. Europe, Asia, Africa and America present problems with which this official right at the beginning of his career, will have to grappie. With in two weeks the representatives of d great European and a great Asiatic power will meet at Washington to en- deavOr to arrange terms by which the greatest of the wars of the past third
 of century will be brought to a close.
 The Asiatic power, Japan, has it's re- presentatives already in this country, and the secretary will be called on to meet them in a few days About a week hence the commissioners of the European nation, Russia, will land in this country. The meeting here of l two great old-world powers to frame a peace is uneXampled in our annals. A meeting of leading Asiatic and lead ing European power for peace pur-
 poses anywhere outside of Asia is something new to the world.
 Manifestly, Secretary Roots coun- ltry will not only have 6 profound in , terest in the adjustment which is made here, but indirectly it will have infiu-
 ences in shaping this settlement, al- though it's hand will not be seen in the affair at any stage of the negotia- tions. Korea is sending an embassy to the United States to appeal to Presi- dent Roosevelt to intercede for that country, with the hope of inducing Jap-
 an to allow 1t complete independence
 in twenty years, providing it shows a fitness for self-government at that time. This is something which neither the President nor the Secretary of State can undertake to dc, except pos-
 sibly to present the request, in an in- formal way, to the Japanese represen- tatives. China has made a somewhat similar appeal to us for aid in enabling it to get Manchuria back, and to pre-
 serve the rest of the empire from spo- liation. The formal note telling the
 world that she will not recognize any adjustment affecting herself unless her consent has been previously obtained
 has been sent to all the nations. But
 special request has been made to our government to follow up the doc

GARDEN CITT YORK.

England is expecting much benefit from the English Garden City Associ- ation, whose efforts are directed against overcrowding in large cities and the consequent deDopulation of the rural districts. The plan consists in the development of new industrial and residential towns surrounded by belts of agricultural land; the unearn- ed increment being retained in each case for the benefit of the inhabitants after payment of five per cent per an- mum on the capital. The first step towards practical realization was talk en in 1903, when a joint stock com pany CThe Garden City Pioneer Com pany, Limited) was started with a capital of e3,C0O,OOO to develop an es- tate of 3,S50 acres situated between Hitchin and Baldock. During the last two years, building, roadmaking, and other operations have been carried on with vigor. applications for small holdings, and for residential and fac tory sites have come in with greater and greater frequency, and there is reason to think that, before the close of 1905, the first Garden City will have risen on what short time back were only the open fields of Letchworti.
 This seems plausible and feasible. Perhaps by and by Connecticut can help New York in the same way.

An Italian engineer, Signor Jelpo. has invented a submarine elevator for rais- { ing wrecked vessels. The invention was recently put to a practical test, with complete success, in the Bay of Naples, where a stone laden barge, sunk @ couple of years ago, and lying at a depth of about fifty feet, was brought to the surface with ease. The weight lifted was about sixty tons. The ap- paratus consists of compressed air cham bers Of canvass and wire, each equal to lifting capacity of sixty tons, and it is possible to attach as many of these as may be necessary, after calculating the weight to be lifted. All the port authorities witnessed the experiment, and warmly congratulated the engineer.
 The Halifax Herald joyfully an- nounces that on July a rich seam of coal was uncovered near Lingan and about nine miles from Broughton, Cape Breton. "The biggest coal strike ever made in Canada" it exclaims; and con- tinues: This discovery adds over 100 per cent. to the Dominion Coal com pany's proved coal areas on land, and assures numerous other lease holders of a profitable coal seam in their leases. Tbet Dominion Coal company hold the leases upon which the strike has been made, and will undoubtedly proceed with their development. The seam is known as the Mullins seam and has been lost to prospectors for upwards of fifty years. It showed six feet of clean coal, equal in quality to the coal of the Low Point areas, and it's outcrop line will measure from IS to 20 miles, extending from Lingan to Mira Bay, it's greatest distance from the coast line being at Broughton, which is about six miles. This shows land area of about 100 square miles, or 619,520,0 900 tons of coal. President Ross is jubiant over the discovery.
