OBSTINATE AMERICANS.

Americans are inclined to be con- ceited and perverse, and this applies to manufacturers of goods for foreign trade as we'll as to other things. Be- cause a certain article or tool of a certain size and shape is popular here the makers think 1t ought to please the foreign customers, and they un- dertake to educate the foreigners to prefer. our way. instead of consulting their preferences.
 "obviouslyP remarks The Manches- ter Union, 1t applies to everything that Americans produce and have to sell. Many Mexicans prefer a blow with one handle. because with such an implement they can hold the blow with one hand and guide the mule with the other. It might be better agricul- ture to hitch two mules together and use a blow with two handles in the American fashion. but why should the American manufacturer of blows waste his energies in an attempt, probably fruitless. to bring the Mexican to his way of thinking when 1t is easily pos- sible to make as good a profit from the sale of one-handled blows as from the sale of blows with two handles It should matter nothing to the Amer ican manufacturer if somebody hap pened to want a blow with no handles at all. It Is said to be in this respect that the English and German manu- lecturers gain an advantage over their American competitors. They study the markets of the world, and then endeav- or to supply the demand as they find it. If certain width of cloth is de- sired, they proceed to supply it, with out trying to change the taste of the people of a country by demonstrating that another width would be as use- full or perhaps even better. The ma chetas in .-uniRersal use in Central America, the Antilles and elsewhere af- ford an example in point. The people. from long habit, prefer a certain shape and weight. The English man ufacturer supplies 1t and asks no ques- tions, while the American manufac- turers have been trying to persuade these people that another form and weight constitute a much more desir- abe implement. The result is that the English go on supplying the machetes. while the Americans are waiting for orders which rarely or never come"

 At the age of 7s years. Henry NJ. Flagler sees approaching the fulfill ment of his most splendid dream of
 Humorists of the press have already bestowed upon Mir. Flagler's new line --an extension of the Florida East Coast Road-the title of the sea-going railway. It is literally that When the first train ran from Miami to Knights Key Wednesday 1t passed over thirteen miles of water and nine- teen miles of submerged swamp. The whole length of the line is 109 miles. About forty miles more will bring the terminal to Key West, whence great ferry boats will carry whole trains to Havana, ninety miles away.
 The new railway complete will touch forty-o one of the little off-coast Florida islands called keys. Between some of them-as for instance on the two miles of Long Key viaduet-passengers pass out of sight of land, and the low footholds of the rails offering no mark against the horizon And herein is the marvel: This whole extension practi- cally a mans highway of steel and con- crete, built up where for ages here tofore only winds and tides have ruled over the shallow seaA
 Commerce is of course the end of this S15.000000 Dream. On there lies Cuba, developing: over here is Amer lea, always growing->in these days al- ways reaching out. Mir. Flagler ia a practical man. who may have seen ahead of his own times. but scarcely ahead of destiny.

George Meredith.

George Meredith. the distinguished poet and novelist, whose elghtietn birthday will be celebrated in England today, was born in Hampshire, Febru- ary 12, 1898. He received most of his schooling in Germany, Returning to England, he studied law for a time, but soon abandoned 1t for literature. His first literary effort was q volume of poems brought out ..tr, in lssl:, lssi: T as EhSe enat.S eTsichard Feveral," 1" San dra. 'and other works which brongnt .gE Ea dith has written more than twenty suc1 cessful novels. besides innumsrabie poems and critical essays. He IS a Liberal in politics and has been a leading spirit in the Home Rule Party. Of late years, however, he has led a re- tired life at his home in Surrey, where he has continued his devotion to out. door sports. being especially fond of cricket. His occasional literary pro- Auctions retain their old-time vigor: It has been said that MT. Mere eth has more literary followers than any other living writer, and his disciples never fail to assign him the highest place In English fiction.

Temperature of the Continent Con-

Temperature of the Continent Con- . stantIy Becoming Lower.
 Philadelphia Record.
 Some months ago there appeared in these columns some tables worked up by Camille FlammaFion to show changes of a meteorological character which seem to have taken place in Flu rope. Writing again, he states that from actual figures obtained within the past six years he has become cer- tain that the temperature of Europe has been falling. France has been suf- fering for a long time from an excess of cold weather. the thermometrical readings at Paris having been 1 de- degree below the normal height.
 Other readings show even less favor able results. The fall is more notice able during the spring than during oth- CT periods of the year. Similar phe- nomena are recorded in Great Britain, Belgium, Spain. Italy, Austria and Germany. In the days of Philip Au- guste, in the thirteenth century, the wines of Estampes and Beauvais were the favorite beverages at court. Henry ", a pronounced bon vivant, frequent ly expressed his fondness for the pro- duct of the Suresnes grape. At the present day there is not a vineyard of importance north of Paris, and as for the petit win now made at suresnes, it has become the drink only of the poor CT classes.
 Tn the middle of the sixteenth cen tury Macon was celebrated for it's mus cate1 wines. wheras the muscatel grape at this moment can scarcely be made to thrive there. Ancient chron- icles mention the cultivation of the vine in northern Brittany. where now even apples are not plentiful. Again, it is to be remarked that trees which once fiourished in the north of France are at the present time found in the extreme south, and considerable mum Der have disappeared altogether
 LangUedoc no longer grows the lem on; there Is not an orange left in Rou- sillop. The Lombardy poplar. so fa- miliar and picturesque in old French line engravings. Is now nowhere to be found on French soil. These are facts which, putting statistics out of the question, serve Co illustrate the changes wrought by temperature in the great
 ruit-producing country of France.

Effect of Message on GOverament by Polit.
 teal Organisation.
 Philadelphia Public Leader.
 When Mckinley and Roosevelt were elect cd it was a common observation among po- liticaI students that. for the first time in the history of this country, government by party was completely established. The party itself. we'll knit, definitely organized. and committed to understood policies. waa in command of all branches of the nation at government The President stood for lit- tie. that was separated from the party, and was in accord with all the accredited lead CTS. It seemed that the party was the re- sponsible agency in charge. Mr. Root in speeches delivered ct the period. dwelt up- history. He treated 1t as an epoch in pro- gress toward the permanent adjustments of the nation.
 The charge is abrupt. We must 60 back to Andrew Jackson for a parallel of a per sonality overshadowing a party. Party ma chinery was not in Jaeksor's' day what 1t ts now, but but the similarity of defiance. disregard and defeat of veteran party leaders by President of personal aggres- siveness is evident. The indifference to offending and aIienting classes and inter ests previously strong in party couneils is another similarity. What Is the historical meaning. It Is not probable that Mfr. Rose welt Is. as Jackson was. founding sub stantiaIly new party to last for genera tions. The likelihood is that this is one of a series of oscillations between periods of broadly organised party responsibility and the dominance of one or few personalf- ties possessing the fortune of popularity.

AN UNEXPECTED JOLT.

For a Republican newspaper, The Portland oregonian can take some of the most unexpected positions, and positions at variance with its party, of any newspaper we read. In a recent issue it has a strong editorial on the tariK question, showing how some of the trusts notably the great Steel Trust, enriches it's members by rob ping the people. 1t details some of the enormous profits made by that organ ization and then, referring to the peo- pie. 1t adds:
 They have been robbed, shamefully robbed by men like the Laird or skibbo who has studded the land with shame to the system by which he robbed the many for the benefit of the few. Schwab frittering away his million dollar salary and $10,000.000 an- successor, reveling in a nastiness that disgusted two continents: and Thaw, another beneficiary of the system, are all shining examples of the effect of an unreyised tariff. Meanwhile Cannon. Payne. ct al, will continue their Ajax fying-the-lightning" stunt until there comes an upheaVal or pubtlc Opln- ion that will sweep into power a party that will revise the tariff. Unfortun- ately, there is nothing in the past re- cords of that party that warrants the belief that the revision will be whole some or effective. It would be far bet ter for the country if the Cannons and Paynes were jettisoned from the Re- publican Party before 1t is wrecked.
 We might expect that from a Demo- cratic newspaper. for they are gener- ally in favor of a revision of the tarift that will put an end to the enrichment of a few at the expense of all the oth- CTS, but it was not expected from a paper which is continually advocating and defending Roosevelt and his poli- cies. Of course The Oregonian must make dig at the Democrats, which 1t does by charging that they will not revise the tariff as the people demand. but that was to be expected. We can overlook that in consideration of the blows It gives to the stand-patters of it's own party. The Democrats might not do everything that ought to be done in this respect. but at any rate they would be a decided improvement on the Republicans.

Amour rrrANCrAL AFFAIRS.

The Norfolk virginian-Pilot thinks 1t Is a credit to the Democratic ssna- tors that they could not agree on the
 Bailey currency measure. "The meas ure.~ # says, 'fs an attempt to resur. rect ths heresy of fiat money and if adopted would open the door for a pe- riod of wild imitation on which but one end could ensue. The unsoundness of Democratic minds on Financial subjects appears to be ineradicabie. and 1t is that more than anything else which makes the people hesitate in turning to Democracy for relief from the bur. dens and corruptions of Republican rule.''
 The Charlotte Observer, leyel-head- ed contemporary. is pretty much dis gnsted at the way things are going. Tt is to be regretted" it says. ''that the Democracy. the historic party of sound money and sound financial sys- tenn. should have allowed the Republi- can Party to chisei it out of it's finan- ciaI principles and leave 1t lodging from side to side in search of some poll icy that Is popular. And 1t is strange, in view of it's general integrity and it's astuteness in some respects. that it does not learn after it's many disap- pointments that it does not pay to run after new devices or old vagaries in new guise. The people of this country have a great deal of sense and as vot- CTS they have first care for the sound ness and stability of value of. their cur rency. No party that they doubt on this point will command their support and bitter experience should have taught the Democracy ere this that this is not q subject it can afford to trife with Of assume a position upon that is not exactly erect. It Is upon this that, as our Norfolk contemporary points out. it is most distrnsted; and wisdom would suggest to It's leaders an effort to restore the broken conf- dence in 1t instead of aggravating the afstrust by financial propositions against which common sense revoIts."
