Casting Out the Critics.

Emperor William, who once said
| that no socialist was worthy to be a

should leave the fatherland for more
congenial cline. By process of elm
ination the kaiser would make of Ger
many one of the most select of ma
tons
No doubt if heads of states could
choose their subjects to suit, the world
would witness some interesting i'm
provements in government, says the
New York World. All Germans would
then wear uniforms on weekdays and
on Sunday don medieval armor and
listen to sermons on divine right ard
jesttatsbeleidigung. All works of
art would have the Hohenzollern crest
stamped in and the music of the ma
ton would be composed at Potsdam.
Here at home we should have no
weddings or cravens. Every citizen
would be a phonetic speller and every
matron a COrnelia counting her chill
dren her jewels.
In a nation of optimists. there being
no criticism or c6nsure, whatever was
would be right. Neither kings nor
corporation directors could do wrong.
Everything would be above par. Gold
bricks would pass as pure metal and
financial bubbles would swell to bal
loon-like proportions ere they burst.
1t would be Utopia and the Isles of the
Blest realized and a modern state with
halcyon and vociferous times for ev-
erybody.
But would it last? To exile the
grumbler and the critic would be TO tie
down the safety-valve and invite the
explosion. They are the ferment
which leavens the lump. and a nation
without them would speedily degener-

New Rival ofPanama Canal.

While congress and the administra-
ton have been trying to find out what
kind of a canal they are going to dig
at Panama, the Mexican government
has been quietly putting the finishing
touches upon an enterprise for inter
oceanic traffic which bids fair to be
come a very formidable competitor of
our own chosen route, writes Rene
Bache in Technical World magazine
for September.
This fall it will open for business a
railroad running across the isthmus OF
Tehauntepec from the port of COatzo
Coalcos on the Gulf of Mexico to Sa-
lima Cruz on the Pacific. Great har
bors and docks have been built, at
both termini.
The Tehauntepec railroad proposes
to compete for all traffic between our
own Atlantic ports and the Orient;
also for the trade between New York
and San Francisco, and between Euro
pean ports and the Orient-in word,
for all of the traffic that is now NOV
ing around Cape Horn, over our trans
continental railroads, and through the
Suez canal
AS compared with Panama, the aver
age saving of distance to all points in
Europe and on our Atlantic coast is
no less than 1850 miles. An ordinary
freight steamer travels at the rate of
10 miles an hour, or $50 miles day;
so that it would save five days time
by shipping its cargo via the Tehaun-
tepec isthmus. Surprising that time is
worth to it $500 a day, this repre-
sents saving of $4,000 in money.
Another advantage of the Tehaunte
pee route is that it is out of the region
of Gains and variable breeZes. Sailing
vessels. which must always carry
much of the worlds commerce, are
likely to find Panama inaccessible.

for the fact that behind Cuba stands
the United States.
For despite the fact that with I'M
paralleled magnanimity" and with the
uplifting of righteous hands in the
sight of the whole world, we gave the
Cubans their liberty, it must be re-
membered that we tied a string TO our
beneficence.
And the shrewd financiers are quick
to see that as the rebellion grows the
probability of our Intervention in
creaseS.
Intervention. in their minds, means
annexation. And annexation means
the full payment of the Cuban bond..
by the United States. The only factor
the financiers leave out of their cal
culation is that of public sentiment
factor which financiers have notably
failed in diagnosing. They are strong
on sentiment.
The bond buyers take it for granted
that our government is only waiting
for an excuse to SwOop down upon the
island that has cost us so much trOu-
BILE and take it in. Which, TO say the
least, is not complimentary to our al
truistic feelings.
But money talks.
And money says that annexation is

To be such G. successful wife, to re-
tain the love and admiration of her
husband. to inspire him to make the
most of himself, should be woman's
constant study.
If woman finds that her energies
are tagging, that she gets easily tired,
dark shadows appear under her eyes,
she has bacl<ache, headaches, bearing
down pains, nervousness, Irregularities
or the blues, she should start at once
to build up her system by a tonic with
specific powers, such as Lydia e. Pink

Following we publish by request a

marvellous recovery. 1t brought me health,
new life and vitality Mrs Bessie Ainsley,

What Lydia r. Pinllham's Vegetable
Compound did for Mrs. Ainsley it will
do for every sick and ailing woman.

When Lord Dufferin was governor
general of Canada he examined into
certain transcontinental railroad mat
tiers and found cause for much con-
domination. AS result in an unguard-
ed moment he delivered himself of
some remarks which, he realized at
once, were most undiplomatic. Only
one reporter was present and his lord
ship at once invited him to a private
conference The newspaper man had
written out the speech, having taken
it in shorthand. Let me see your
notes and the transcript said the
governor, and having received them he
told the reporter to refill his glass and
have another cigar. Lord Dufferin
took the notes and the copy into an
other room and returned in few mo-
ments and announced that he had
burned them. OF course, the reporter
could do nothing and the governor gem
eral saved his bacon.

If the republicans elect a majority

% per cent higher than present rates.
This maximum rate will apply to i'm

to enforce against those countries that
do not negotiate reciprocity treaties
