EROSION STUPENDOUS

The surface of the United States
is being removed at the rate of
thirteen ten-thousandths of an inch
a year, or l inch in 76O years, &C.
cording to the United States Geo.
logical Survey. Though this amount
seems trivial when spread over the
surface of the country, it becomes
stupendous when considered as a
total, for over 27O,OOO,OOO tons of
dissolved matter and $4,000, 900
tons of suspended matter are tran
sported to tidewater every year by
the streams of the United States.
This total of 783,0OO,O 900 tons repre-
sents more than 350,0OO,0OO cubic
yards of rock substance, or 61O, ,OOO.-
600 cubic yards of surface soil. If
this erosive action had been con-
centrated upon the Isthmus of Pan
anna at the time of American cccu-
patton. it would have excavated the
prism for an S5-foot level canal in
about 70 days.
The amounts removed form in
teresting comparisons. In respect
to dissolved matter, the southern
Pacific basin heads the list with 1T
tons per square mile per year, the
northern Atlantic basin being next
with l30 tons. The rate for the
Hudson Bay basin, % tons is lowest;
that for the Colorado and western
Gulf of Mexico basins is somewhat
higher. The denudation estimates
for the southern Atlantic basin corr
very closely to those for
the entire United States. The
amounts are generally lowest for !
streams in the arid and semiarid re-
gions, because large areas there !
little or nothing to the
run-off. The southern Pacific basin
IS an important exception to this
general rule, presumably because of
the extensive practice of irrigation
n that area. The amounts are
highest in regions of high rainfall, /
.hough usually the waters in those
sections are notso highly mineralized

POOR OLD WALL STREET!

Call-loan interest touching 20 pei
cent has brought forth the familiar
cry that the treasury should help
out poor old Wall street by dumping
surplus money into the mart.
Really, the case is pitiful!
Country banks have recalled for
business use much of the money
they commonly keep in Wall street;
and now. war rumors and peace as
surances following each other at
short intervals, and perfectly lovely
gambling weather, there is short
age of chips. "Underspeculation"
is complained of. which sounds an
impossibility.
There are two measures that
might help. One is to reduce taxa
tion so that the treasury will not
collect so many unneeded millions;
this we hope to see done soon. The
other is to make usury illegal south
as well as north of Trinity's after
noon shadow and thus abolish priv
ilege. Neither would make Wall
street wholly happy.
For the present, if Secretary Mac
Veagh does come to the relief" of
stock-gambling he will find the trial
well worn by obsequious predeces-
sors.-New York World.

SNUBBING OF MR.. BRYAN

Governor Mann of Virginia ha.
snubbed Mr.. Bryan: and the Ari
zona Republican reasons that thai
will not hurt Mr.. Bryan and it will
certainly not do Governor Mann any
good outside the Old Dominion. He
has perhaps affronted many Virgin.
ians for Mr.. Bryan has a large fol.
lowing in every state.
Continuing, the Republican says:
We remember once Governor
Pennoyer of Washington snubbed
President Cleveland and became the
laughing stock of the country.
Even the enemies of the president
joined in the ridicule and contempt
for the offending governor.
Mr.. Bryan, it is true, is a private
citizen. He is charged with having
assumed too much for a private
citizen. He has dictated the utter
ance of his party in the nation and
he has attempted to dictate the
course Of its representatives in con-
gress. 1t was in the latter attempt
that he gave affront to Governor
Mann.
But Mr.. Bryan is more than a
private citizen. He is the unofficial
leader, far overlapping any official
leader. Nor is his self selected
leadership. He has been placed in
that position by the overwhelming
choice of his party. No other man
ever welded so great an influence
in the democratic party and no man
has so represented the party as he
has done constantly for the last six
teen years. His assumption of au-
thority over representative of the
party is therefore not a personal
but party matter and can not be
taken to task personally for any
course he may pursue with respect
to public affairs.
Whether or not one may think
that the leadership has been confer
red upon Mr.. Bryan wisely or that
he has wisely exercised it, it is his
and no democrat can deny it with
out putting himself into a state of
rebellion.

THE DISCOVERY OF AMER.
ICA sNSAa,

| SSSkE&Ss
A. city named ByAanspnh was
founded byGreeks on The present
site Of Constonlmopl about the
time Rome was founded, !7o0 years
B. c. 1t was taken by the Romans
in 1856 A. D., and the Roman en-
peror, Constantine, the Great, made
it the capital of his empire Id $50,
and changed it's name to Constanti-
nople, the city of Constantine The
Romans held it until it was permafl-
emily conquered by the Ottoman
Turks, in 1853, A. D. 80 years be-
fore the discoyery3of5 America by
Columbus. This conquest actually
led to- the discovery Of America,
hence it is of, more than passing in
terest to Americans.
For some centuries before the
Turks took Constantinople, the COM
merce between Europe and Asia
was in the hands of Venice and
Genoa. Venice's route was by ship
to Alexandria in Egypt, thence over
land to the Red Sea and then by sea
to all southern points in Asia. The
merchants of Genoa sailed through
the Dardanelles and the Sea of Mar
mora to Constantinople, went thence
by camels to the Tigris and Eu-
pirates rivers, then by boats to and
from the sea. Sometimes they sailed
on through the Bosporus and the
Black Sea, then by caravan to the
Caspian Sea, then by caravan to and
from interior points in Asia. But
in both branches, the Genoese made
Constantinople their trans-shipping,
buying and selling headquarters.
On capturing Constantinople, the
Turks cut off trade. over. this route,
and this at once killed the flourish
ing city of Genoa, which had been
built up by this commerce.
OF course everyone knows that
Genoa was the birthplace of COL
umbus, where he was born in 1446,
seven years before the fall of Con-
stantinople. The one pressing prob
em then was, with him and all his
townsmen. to find some other prac-
ticable route to India. All the
countries of western Europe that
had been supplied with Asiatic goods
from Genoa felt the need of a new
quite. The Portuguese lead in ef-
'orts to reach southern Asia by sail
ng round Africa, which they &C.
'omplished in 1897. Columbus be-
ieving that the earth is a sphere
md much smaller than it actually
5, believed he could reach India by
ailing westward from Europe, which
e tried and always believed he had
cached when he discovered America.
ience he called the native Ameri-
ans Indians. II

THE ANSWER!

A writer in tbs St. Johns Heralt He,
asks why so much gooassthat is fol
l@ls atSsopie, isbousht in foreigi
markets. ~ NY Hl #i III
The answer lis easy. Becaus.
Nine tenths of our home business
men are so short-sighted that they
will not let the people know wha
they are carrying. while the wide
awake merchant in some other towr
or city, takes advantage of this con
dition and sends his advertising mat
ter into every household, and thru
that, receives the large number o1
mail orders that are sent from each
community.
! 1t is true that some of our home
merchants advertise their goods in
the home paper, but most of them
rely on window display or sign posts,
The result is that the sign post
won't carry the news to the pros.
pective customer, and if he or she
stops in front Of the window dis
play in an endeavor to see what the
merchant has for sale, they are
made jokes Of by passers-by. and
the purchaser gets disgusted and
sends his orders through the mail
to those who send their advertise
m'nts into the home.
If the home merchant would ad-
vertise his goods in his home paper.
the paper that is making it possible
for him to do business in the COM
munity in which he lives, the paper
that carries message to the entire
people of that community every
week, the postoffice business would
cease. But instead of doing this
large number of merchants say that
if ONE advertises he will bring the
crowd into town, and that THEY
will get their share without expend-
ing anything on advertising; and at
the same time the home paper is
pounding away just as much in their
interest, as it is in the interest of
those who are trying to make the
town better.
For instance: Thousands of dol
ars worth of Christmas goods were
shipped into this valley this year. A
few merchants have told the people
what they had; they have almost
cleaned out their entire stock; the
,thers must either hold the goods
,ver and try to make you believe it |
s new next Christmas, or sell at
prices below cost. Had they been
'nterprising enough, and seen far
.nough ahead to know that they
must tell the people what they have,
here would be no complaint about
'eople ordering through the mails,
nd this mail order business amounts
o thousands of dollars every month.

ANTI. TRUST LEGISLATION

Newspaper report that some of the
progressive republicans in the senate
are planning to push antitrust leg
islation. But why should a demo-
cratic house allow progressive re-
publicans to take the lead in such a
matter? asks the Commoner. The
party that repudiated Morgan, Ryan
and Belmont ought not take back
seat on the trust question for party
whose campaign was so largely finan-
ced by Perkins, Hanna and Munsey.
The Baltimore platform points
the way and Governor Wilson has
indorsed the demand for legislation

sible,
