Americans Have Achieved.

Americans founded the first gov
eminent under which all men were
equal before the law. Since the
declaration OF independence was pub
lished TO the world the democratic
idea has hourly received new impulse.
until now its march seems irreslsti-
bic. Americans were the first TO
demonstrate the feasibility to relying
on citizen soldiery to defend the
land and its institutions against for.
eign and domestic attack Americans
were the first to abolish titular dis
tinctions and TO deprive social emf
nence of any support save character
or the consensus of those who choose
to consider themselves as socially
elect. 1t was an American who in
vented the steamship. An American
invented telegraph. An American
invented the telephone. An Ameri
can invented the electric light. An
American invented the reaper, which
makes it possible to feed the billion
and more people on this planet. 1t
was an American. too, who invented
the sewing machine. Americans also
were the conquerors of pain when
they discovered how, by the use OF
sulphuric ether, the tenderest human
nerve could be made insensible to the
surgeons steel.-Boston Globe.

Taxation in Ennland.

In England Prime Minister Asqulth
Is pushing a bill to increase the land
tax. In Great Britain nearly all the
land is owned by a few persons. The
number OF tenants there is prodigious.
The land tax has not been increased
Tor century but in the meantime
taxes have been steadily piling IN
upon manufacturing plants and all
other branches of trade.
Mr.. Asquith's bill has not yet been
adopted, but certain of the dukes are
preparing to retrench. For instance
the Duke of Buccleugh, who owns
100000 acres in the United Kingdom
and not unnaturally objects to a land
tax, has cut off nearly all of the an.
nual subscriptions he has been max.
ing to benevolent work on his
estates.
This is somewhat parallel to the &C.
uon OF the Duke of Westminster. who
with an income of over $2.0OOOOO. cut
OFF small annuities his family had
been making to aged laborers upon
his estate because the government
under the old age pension scheme
was willing to give the same men
$1.25 a week.

large Crop of suItana Basins.

A report from Consul General Erin
est l.. Harris at Smyrna, dated July
2G, states that this seasons crop OF
raisins in that Turkish district is esti
mated at 100000 kintals (145,230, OOC
pounds), against 100000 kintals QOS,
922,50 pounds) last year, the vines be-
ing overcharged with fruit. The quail
ity is not yet definite, as weather con
ditions in July and August have great
influence on the crop. 1t is feared
that prices OF sultanas this year will
be very low on account of the large
crop. but the Ottoman government has
proposed to submit to parliament a
law prohibiting the expectation of sui
tanas of inferior quality, so as to sus.
tain prices and give chance for the
introduction of alcohol manufactutring
ndustrieS.-Consular Bulletin.

ST. Plerre san pesolate

There is absolutely no truth in the

chester w. Martin of the American
consular service, stationed at Bridge
town, Barbados, TO the Washington
Herald. Il visited st. Pierre not
long ago. said Mr. Martin, "and the
only houses that I saw there were
two houses which were put up by the
French government and are used by
the gendarmes. The French govern

the scene Of desolation and laid bare
the streets; but there is no intention
OF rebuilding 80 far as l am aware"

To Prevent Stream Pollution.

Fish commissioners representing
the Federal government and the
States of Ohio, Pennsylvania and
West Virginia have just concluded a
conference at Pittsburg devoted to a
discussion of the best means OF pre-.
venting the pollution of the waters OF
the Ohio river. 1t was the consensus
of opinion that the status OF this
State are defective, but that the other
two have codes approaching the ideal.
AS a result, an appeal is to be made
to the Ohio legislature at the coming
session to enact new laws or amend
the old ones and bring them into har.
money with those of the other two.
Meanwhile an appeal is to be made to
congress for the enactment OF meas.
ures to prevent the pollution OF all
waters over which the central govern
ment has jurisdiction.

UNITED STATES NEEDS
MUCH LARGER NAVY
BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK. May 2S.-Sir William
White, K. C. B., the retired director of
naval construction for the British ad-
miralty, who built most of England s
big warships is in New York for a brief
American trip. In an interview given
out shortly after his arrival. Sir Will
liam talked of naval construction here
and abroad.
"I see no reason why the United
States should not have large navy
said Sir William. "With your over
sea commerce, which is steadily grow
ing. and your foreign possessions, this
country needs big navy.
"The United States navy has had a
great advantage over the navies of
many other nations. There was prac.
ticolly no navy here TO speak of up to
the time of the civil war. Naval con
struction began later in this country.
and thus the United States navy has
benefited by other nations experience
and at the same time 1T has applied
its own skill and ideas.
"The navy belongs to the nation and
not political party. 1t is wrong to
bring politics into the navy. We had
a recent illustration in England of this,
first during what is known as the war
scare, and secondly at the recent elec.
tions.
HThe future of shipbuilding must de-
pend very much on what the united in
genuity of all the ship designers in the
world may bring about. 1t is not the
work of one man, it is matter of evo-
luton and competition.

LOOKS LIKE REAL FIGHT
OF PERU AND ECUADOR
Rv Associated Press.

WASHINGTON. May 2S,-Oficial dis
patches received at tho state department
from both Lima. Peru. and Quito. Ecua-
dor. indicate that warlike preparations
between Peru and Ecuador are being rap
idly pushed forward and that confie,
seems inevitable.
In view OF the fact that both Peru and
Ecuador had accepted without reserve
Secretary KnoX's proposition for The
United States. Brazil and Argentina TO
mediate between those two countries OF
the matter OF their boundary dispute the
STATE department officials are ut a loss to
understand their present attitude.
1t was the understanding OF the officials
that in opening the mediation proposition
they had OF necessity accepted the condi-
lions proposed by the offer, the principal
one being the immediate withdrawal OF
frontier.
