CARNEGIE AND PEACE

MARRIAGE.
(New York Telegram.)


 In London a man from Honolulu met young woman amid falling tim bers as a. stand collapsed at the cor onation ceremonies. They met sew eral times in the English metropolis and the man from Honolulu returned to his plantation. A correspondence followed. and he met her the other day as she landed from steamer in New York. He had come from the Orient and she. had come from Eng land to be married
 Such matches arouse wonder as to how they ever come to pass. Why does a man travel half way around the globe to win bride? At home there certinly must have been any of available girls. The man in this case lived in Honolulu, but he vas reared in the United States. Un- doubtedly he met many girls before he crossed two seas and a conti- nent to find his mate. Was it sde- creed by the fates that he was to marry this one girl out of all on earth or did it just happen that he met her at the psychological moment?
 Surely the incident of the falling tin1bers did not cause this mutual love. They probably will be a very happy couple, but isn't it just as prob able that they would have been equal ly content if each had married some one known from childhood?

COLLEGE MEN IN
 TOBACCO FIELDS.
(New Britain Herald. )

tNGW GTlId1Ar
 Men of Yale, Harvard, Dartmouth and smaller colleges who are work ing their way through are helping to harvest the Connecticut Valley to- bacco crop.
 From the west comes the complaint that sfaands"f can not be procured for the record breaking wheat crop this season Any man who wants job may get it at $20 month 'tand found' it is said, ins the great western grain fields
 Presumably the western .collegians are not less avid for such opportunl- ties than eastern young men and they may find opportunity for summer work easily without the aid of the college managed farm that Princeton proposes.
 Of course the women collegians are right on the heels of their brothers and men friends. Many of them have applied for work at ''stringing' the green tobacco leaves Apparently the tobacco growers are shy on the pro- priety of this innovation. But the young women believe next year they will be employed in large numbers.
 Just why the prejudice against them is not stated Perhaps the growers realize it will be inconsistent for any young women to preach to Him" about excessive use of tobacco after she has spent tine summer helping pre- pare the weed for the cigarette and cigar manufacturer.

MEAT PRICES
 HERE AND ABROAD

On Friday, August A, prime sirloin of beef sold in London for 1s 1-2 cents per pound, and in New York for 2S cents per pound Just at present meat prices are higher in this country than ever before. while the identical cuts that bring such high prices here are sold in London for about two-thirds as much. This despite the water haul of 5000 miles, and the two rail hauls,
 board and from Liverpool to London.

 The farmer does not derive any benefits from the tariff when he goes to market to sell his products, but on everything the farmer buys there is an artifieially high price due to the tariff tax''
 High protectionists in Congress have for many years deceived the farmers into believing that because a tariff is kept on wheat and corn the farmer is necessarily beaefitted thereby. That this is false logic is apparent to any student of American import and ex- port statistics, This country produces more wheat and corn than the Amer jean people consume, which obviously makes it impossible for any country of Europe to sell wheat or corn here. Europe, which is the great market for surplus American grain, uses all the grain produced there for home con sumption, and in addition, the Euro peap countries have to send over here for more.
 If there were no tariff on grain, therefore. the American farmer would not be menaced by the possibility of foreign competition, for. the. reason that foreigners have no grain to sell
 But the situa ton is vastly different with the farmer when he comes to buy the tools. machinery, clothing and other necessities of life He finds every article that he uses in produc- ing his crops taxed higher and higher, until as Gov. Wilson says, it is get ting to be next to impossible for the American farmer to make a legitima te profit" The farmers implements, his smaller tools, wagons, household arti- cles. clothing, lumber and harvesting machinery have steadily risen in price.
 That this rise in prices has been due to artificial causes is proven by the fact that the identical articles used by the American, farmer are sold abroad for from 25 to 46 per cent less. B. D. Townsend, in his report to Pres ident Roosevelt on the harvester trust, reported that the same harvesting machines that were made by the trust in Chicago, and sold to the American farmer for $125, are sold in Russia for $50 and s90. Nothing but the tariff thus enables the trust to rob the Am erican farmer because, if it were not for the tariff. the danger of competi- ton from Canada would force the American trust. to sell it's machines for one price. to all.
 Governor Wilson has shown a deep grasp of the tariff question as it af- fects farmers, and it is certain that before the campaign is much older he will have some Illuminating things to say to the farmer on this vital sub- AJSS1. P ..fsst- 4xp=+ s

 the wagon trains did not keep up with the marching troops. This IS unfortunate because in martial affairs it is proverbial that an army travels on it's stomach.
 From such casual observations as we were able to make of the rnaneuvers, we would say that the army carried altogether too much impediments, large part of which would be thrown away in real warfare before cam paign was seven days old. TFere is absolutely no necessity of weighing 9 man down with fifty or sixty pounds of baggage while or the march. A blanket a change of underwear, a gun with a. few rounds of ammunition and a combination drinking and cooking cup is all that is necessary.
 The wagon trains of. the recent cam paign were grossly overloaded. We felt sorry forr the army horses and mules It would be better if each company had it's own light wagon with ed such absolutely necessary food and supplies as the company would need on the march. The regimental or brl- gade wagon train was a dismal fail- ufe if the present maneuveI'sv are any indication
 Certainly, the present system cannot be called a success when it fails to supply d SAAAeAt c"A AAAS " -fs~AANS and men during mock warfare What would happen if under the pres ent system an army of thirty times as large had to be supplied when rail- road, telegraph. telephone and high way facilities were seriously inter rupted if not put out of commission?
 It certainly is a rather, expansive experime Bk, this war game. Uncle Sam has paid out upwards of three million dollars to find out that under the present system, or lack of system, an American army of twenty thous- and men on the march through peace ful territory canMot be feds The whole thing would be Imaginable, If it didn't cost SO much.

NEW EMPEROR OF JAPAN
 WILL BE B TOMORROW

While preparations are going for ward for the imposing funeral of the late Mutsuhito, Mikado of Nippon, bis successor on the throne of Japan, Yoshihito Haru ne Miya, will quietly celebrate his thirty-third birthday to- morrow. One of the first official acts of the Japanese Government, follow ing the death of Mutsuhito, was the issuance of a proclamation stating that the imperial holiday had been changed from November 8, the late Mikado's natal day, to August 31. the birthday of Yoshihito. Owing to the Nationwide mourning for the man who raised Nippon from a. barbarism to civilization and a recognized post ton as a world-poE4er the birthday of their new ruler will be a festival clouded by sorrow and sadness

CHINESE SCENT SCHEME OF GREAT BRITAIN TO SEIZE
 DEPENDENCY OF THIBET

Pekin, Aug. S0--'The objection regis tered by the British minister Sir John Jordan, to the dispatch of Chinese troops into Thibet or, the maintenance of a big Chinese military establish ment there amounts to notification that England wants the dependency itself, Chinese said, today.
 Thibet is in rebellion and if soldiers canot be sent to put the revolt down, the territory wills be lost to China. The theory here is that the British mean to give the Thibetans independ- ence under British control

SOME QUESTIONS

(HartfOrd COufant.)
 Yesterday the New York Herald ask ed some strange questions about the presidential campaign of 1904. It in- ollired whether a man who had threat ened to divulge a report on the To- bacco trust was appointed to great diplomatic post and whether another man who had been promised sum of money for supporting Roosevelt and Fairbanks in a denominational paper was induced to accept as part pay ment an appointment to a diplomatic post. '"The third term candidate ,'' it says, has taken the position that he is the only honest man in the Unit ed States. The public, then, has a right to know Were diplomatic posts traded in, in this way, in 1S04?" That would be as bad as taking Standard Oil money and lying about it. If only such trading occurred eight years ago, decent Republicans, the rank and file of the party, knew as little about it at the time as they did about the Hartman and Archbold transactions and that was nothing at all.

A STRAW vOTE-A FETISH

 About this time look for straw votes says the political almanac They are coming, and coming fast From all parts of the country are re- eeived data and results with delight ing the amateur in politics, religiously reported in the press and used as a basis for calculation by those who wish to be not without honor in their own bailiwicks.
 Yet of what possible value is a straw vote? Everyone will tell you, even politicians, that the west pook- et'' vote is what turns the day, and how many of this rapidly growing class are going to express their pref erences9
 ''Straws show which way the wind blows" says the old saw, but it is also to be remembered that the wind changes a good many times between the first of September and the first of November. When you hear that a poll of the Butter Cutters union shows a strong preference for Taft, while that of the Milk Skimmers shows a huge majority for Wilson, re- member that after all, straw votes are valueless as a basis for computa tion, worth about as much as the fore casts issued by the chairman of the national bureaus at this time, in fact.
