Michael pavltt.

''rhe first time I had the pleasure of the personal acquaintance of Michael Davitt was in the early days of the Land League" said an Irlshman. An immense meeting was held In Athy, County kil- dare, Ireland, under the presidency of the late pr. O'Nell, coroner of the county. I went down in the train from Dublin with the party, which included besides Davitt MT. A. J. Kettle, MT Graham and Father Denis O'Callaghan of South Boston. Davitt was in great spirits that day and l remember him joking with MT. Graham. who was an extensive far mer in County Dublin. How many land lords have you, Graham asked Davitt. Seven replied Graham Well said Da- witt my friend, if you start shooting your landlords you will have your hands full
 "The meeting, as the chairman said. was the greatest since Mulaghmast and Davitt made one of his most scathing speeches, denouncing in unmeasured terms landlordism and Castle Rule, which he described as the curse of Ireland. Father buckingham made what l believe was his maiden speech on the cause of Ireland that day, and was, no doubt, inspired like so many others, by the sincerity and singleness of purpose of Davitt We had a banquet at Dr. O'Neills in the evening, and l could not help remarklng the dexterity with which Davitt used his single hand, and that the left. He han died knife and fork without the slightest apparent awkwardness. On preparing to take his leave, the host politely offered to help him on with his overcoat. but ne as politely declined, saying he had long ago learned that if a man wanted any thing done he should do it himself Tho loss of hls arm did not seem to discom- mode him. l have seen him give his arm as gracefully to lady a courier of Louis NIV, might have done, and his handwriting was like copperpate."

Uncle Sam Buys Silver.

Away back in 1902 silver went down until the silver in a silver dollar was worth but 40 cents; it is now worth 51 cents, and the value of 1t is tend ing upward. The standard silver dol lar of the United States may yet be- come a pretty valuable dollar outside of it's first value
 The advance in the price of silver is due to the increased demand for the metal. The production is at a stand still while British India, and China, and Japan are buying more silver yearly. So is the rest of the world, including the United States
 For the first time in thirteen years this government is a purchaser of sil- yer for coinage purposes. It will buy about 100000 ounces a week through out the year. This silver is needed for the coinage of dimes. quarters and the like The silver bullion in the treasury, purchased for the coinage of silver dollars, had been diverted to the coinage of subsidiary pieces, but it has given out, and there has not been any bullion available for subsid- iary use in over a years time. Con gress neglected to grant the right to turn silver dollars into subsidiary coin. and thus the government has been compelled to enter the silver market as a purchaser of bullion.
 This country is a large producer of silver, and the steady buying of silver by the government will add to the country's wealth because it will assist in raising the price of export silver.

Problems oi the District.

Our ambition to make steel and our ambition to establish melters begin to conflict, and both are undermining our position as producers of foundry iron in the markets of the country. The prestige of the district in the foundry iron trade is imperilled by the fact that we are not making much more than enough for southern melters' uses Aside from the Sloss-Shefield the Ala bama Consolidated and the Woodward companies, there are no large produc- CTS who have an ambition in that dlree- tion. The rest are planning to make basic rather than foundry iron.
 This is regrettable in many respects but chiefly because "Old Hard Red, ," of which we possess unlimited quanti- ties, makes excellent foundry iron. Melters in all states prefer it.
 As things are going this district will soon have no foundry iron to sell, for every pound we produce will be needed by home melters, who are increasing in number yearly. We want all the melters we can gather in and we want 10 maintain our prestige as makers of foundry iron, and we also want to be- come steel center. There is only one way to do all this-buld more stacks on or near Red mountain. A dozen additional stacks are needed there today, and President Topping of the Tennessee-Republic is in a good position to build them.

BELL THAT TOLLS MISSING SHIPS

From Black and White. London.
 Great is the regret felt at Lloyd's by the retirement of Sir Henry Hozier, who for thirty-two years has been secretary of that institution. He has seen some startling moments in the great shipping office, and he said some time ago that the blackest day he could remember was in October. 1881, when 1os vessels were posted as lost in twelve hours. When a vessel is lost it is announced by the toll ing of the bell which hangs beside the criers box. It Is tolled once when a vessel is lost. twice, when a missing ves- sel comes to port, This bell has rather a strange history. It belonged to the Ltn- dine vessel which went down in the Zuyder Zee over a century ago with a million and half In coin on board, out of which less than million was wrenched from the jaws of the sea. Colonel Hozier is a Scotchman, and started his career in the artillery, till subsequently, be ex- changed into the life guards. He was a war correspondent throughout Prussia s campaigns with Austria and France, near ly losing his life in the former campaign hy a spent bullet.

Janan and Cotton.

The South Carolina Cotton Growers association recently declared conner cial war against Japan by adopting the following resolutions
 "Whereas, There is some apprehension that the policy of Japan. as indicated by her course In Manchura, may not be for the open door and whereas. there exists in the minds of some the suspicion that the policy of the Japanese government will be for giving its own manufacturers preference, either by the placing of inn port duties upon manufactures other than theirs. and by restriction of trade on other countries, be it resolved, that we call 1t to the attention of the Con gress of the United States to consider the proposition whether or not, in view of certain restrictions which may be placed on American trade in the Orient, the time has not now come for the imposition of an expert tax on cotton, with core spending compensation to the planters in the way of bounties. drawbacks and pro- tection, which will equal the said import tax"
 This is a call for a change in the federal constitution. Export taxes are forbidden by that instrument. and there is no way to evade that pro- vision. A change in the constitution permitting export taxes would arouse various interests, including the es- teemed standpatters, although the lat ter should keep still, for they are In no manner connected with federal taxation. What the standpatter gets is monopoly and a Chinese wall, and that. of course, eliminates revenue He wants protection or privilege at the hands of the government in order that he may be enabled to plunge his hands into the pockets of his neigh bors fearlessly and freely.
 There is no reason, and never has been any, for the provision in the fed eral constitution relative to export du- ties, but that can be said of several other obsolete lines in that instru- ment Time works changes that no written constitution can withstand

BUSIEST STREET IN THE WORLD

John P Fritts in Leslie's Weekly.
 West street In New York presents net work of piers and dock for its whole length. Most of the great steamship and railway transportation companies have their pier terminals there, and other steamship companies have built their ter mlnals on the New Jersey shore oppo- site; so that all transatlantic. and large share of the continental travellers must cross West street in coming to or leav- ing the city When one considers the great number of short-trlp travellers. in- way in and out of the metropolis across this busy thoroughfare, faint idea of its importance may be gained Manhattan Island has thrty-two miles of water front. and the city of New York derives approximately, s35OO.O0O yearly in rentals from it's docks and ferries. Of this great revenue the West street section from the Battery to and including the new marginal street which extends from Gansevoort street to Twenty-third street yields almost two-thlrds. In this section the Pennsylvania Railroad company alone pays the city more than s22S.0O0 a year for the privilege of maintaining it's freight and passenger terminals. The White Star Steamship company Is paying ss5,OO0 apiece yearly for two piers. These figures give an idea of the great value of pier privi- lege along West street.
