English firms are establishing factories in the United States. A Birmingham firm is erecting a $500,- 000 plant ior the manufacture of vegetable silk at Chester, Pa. We imported nearly $250,000,000 more merchandise in 1910 than in 1909. Thatis jolly good indorse- ment for the Payne tariff bill but it makes us clutch at our pocket book. It’s too bad John Lind did not have something to do with the building of the democratic plat- form, He no doubt would have seen to it, that the ¢ big beam” that supperts the republican plat- form was also the main prop and support of the' platform upon which he will or will not run—¢‘re- aportionment.” Oh, John will run alright, but what an awful handi- cap is the platform, “The Graymatter,” a new paper edited by J. H. Grant is scheduled to make its initial appearance this afternoon. It is edited by J. H. Grant and is said to be, devoted to the interests of socialism. The paper will be a weekly of all home print and after this week will be issued every Thursday. The editor and backers say they plan to put out a clean sheet which will not be at all rabid over the subject of social- ism, but will try to educate people to their way of thinking by appealing to their reason. The Pioneer welcomes the Gray- matter and wishes it a prosperous career. THE TABLOID AGE. The following statement comes from Hon. John Overmeyer: "Nen‘rly all speeches are far too long-winded. This is the ‘tabloid’ age. There is ‘tabloid’ tea, coffee, sugar, milk, etc. Three other things that might be reduced in volume, condensed and put in tabloid form: First, politi- cians’ speeches, second, lawyers’ speeches in courts; third, preachers’ prayers in churches.” TWO TO ONE THAT CHICAGO WINS THE NATIONAL PENNANT! I predict (says, Second Baseman John Evers of the Chicago Nationals) that the Chicago Cubs ‘and Détroit Tigers will have to meet again' this fall to decide which will be the champions of the world. I believe the Chicago Cubs will win by a safe margin and that the othier tedms will follow in this order: Chicago, Pittsburg, New York, Cin- cinnati, . Philsdelphia, -St. Leuis, Brooklyn, Boston. It is easier to place the first four teams in the list than the last four, but that the Cubs will ‘tofie Gat on top I am positive, ‘and if I -ever wageréd on baseball I would almost as soon bet that we would win by twelve games over the next competit- or as to bet that we would win by two. And I would bet two to .one that Chicago wins. My reasons for this belief are numerous: In the first place, we are in the lead at this writing, June 17th, although so far we have played the worst ball we know how and have had the weakest pitching we have had in the last five years. I argne that if we have been able to gain and hold the lead under these con: ditions, we ought to go stronger and better from now on as the team' begins to hit its proper stride.— August Metropolitan Magazine. ———— [ BY THE WAY | Why is it that no woman ‘tells a funny story until it is old enough to have become serious?

WEYLER WILL BE THERE Captain General of Catalonia and Count Sagasta, Minister of the In- terior, to Be in Immediate Charge of the Situation—Authorities As- sume Charge of All Means of Trans- portation Leading to the City. Madrid, Aug. 6.—Alarmed by fears that the proposed demonstration of the clerical forces at San Sebastian, the summer capital, will assume the character of an uprising the govern- ment is rushing troops into the “city. A regiment of hussars left Madrid for San Sebastian, followed by another regiment of cavalry and two battal- ions of chasseurs. A regiment of in- fantry also was ordered to San Sebas- tian from Vitteria. Both General Weyler; the captain general of Catalonia, and Count Sa- gasta, the minister of the interior, will g0 to San Sebastian to be in imme- diate charge in case of disorder. The government denies 'that the Carlists and the members of the re ligious orders, which are numerous in North Spain, are openly inciting their followers to violence. - The governors of the Basnue provinces and the ad- joining provinces of Navarre issued orders to the mayors of all the munic- ipalities in these provinces to”warn the Roman Catholics against assem- bling or entering the ¢ity of San Se- bastian with arms and that the most energetic measures would be taken to repress any attempt at a manifesta- tion. TO PREVENT DEMONSTRATION Spanish Authorities Seize ‘All Meéans of Transportation. San Sebastian, Spain, Aug, 6.—The governor of San Sebastian has issued a proclamation against ‘any but the regular Catholic gatherings on Sunday and prohibiting outsiders bearing. arms from entering the ‘town, This last precaution was taken as a result of the report that the village priests in the Biscayan -provinces were giving arms and ammunition to their parishoners and urging them to march to San Sebastian. The authorities throughout all the Northern provinces have begun ‘seiz- ing trains and boats to prevent a gen- eral movement against San Sebastian on Sunday. The prospect riow fs that only a few thousand people will at: tempt to carry out the plan for a dem- onstration against 'the ‘government’s course in the Vatican dispute. The authorities have acted with such dis- patch and have the city so well guard- ed that the public' generally seems de- terred from making a violent demon- stration. e i Fire Routs Hotel' Guests. - Spokane, Wash., ‘Aug. 6.—Fire de- stroyed the John W.

NEW SPEAKFY PROBABLE 8aid That Sonie Régulars Will Oppose “Uhcle Joe”sShoiild He Seek a Re: nomination in the Republican Cau- cus—“Insurfents” Gain -Seats In Nearly Every State' Where ‘Pri maries Have Been Held. ‘Washington, Aug. 6.—If there was ever any doubt that Joseph G. Cannon will not be speaker of the next house of ‘représentatives, ‘provided the Re- publicans control that body, that doubt has' been ‘effectially set at rest by { the outcome of the primaries for con- gressional nominations which have been held to date. ‘While the showing msde by the Re: publican progréssives 'does not assure them anywhere near a majority of the Republican caucus ‘in the next.house, the number of progressives who voted consistently against Mr. Cannon in the last congress, added to progressives who have already been nominated to succeed Cannon ‘men in the house, makes it almost certain that there will be not fewer than fifty instead of twenty-eight antl-Cannon, dyed-in-the- wool . progressive Republicans in the next house. s Some Regulars Oppose Cannon. In these figures no account is taken of “regular” Republican ‘members of the last house who have pledged them- selves not to vote for Mr. Cannon again in order to obtain nomination. To the known' progressive strength in the last house is added only the list of those Republican ~nominees of avowed tendencies who have actually beaten Cannon Republican nominees who were seeking remomination. The fact is shown conclusively that while progressive Republicanism has not swept states in their entirety, there have been consistent gains in nearly all Republican states which have held primaries up to date. ‘The history of the state primaries held to date shows a net gain for the progressives of not fewer than seven seats and probably more. Many of the larger™states remain to be heard from. STATE ?IALUATION LARGER South Dakota Assessment Figures Show $16,000,000° Increase. Pierre, 8. D, Aug. 6.—While the complete flgures have not yet been secured it is certain that the increase in ‘state valvation this year over last year will be morz than $1€,300,000, bringing the total assessable value of the state up to $338,000,000. The in- crease shown in the returns on town lots and goods and merchandise has helped to run up the total beyond ex- pectations. GRAZE WHERE BIG BOATS RAN Lake Pepin Is So Low Cattle Have Enlarged Pasture. Maiden Rock, Wis.,, Aug. 6.—Lake Pepin is so low at this’ point that the steamer Red Wing no longer can land at either of its usual landing places and is ‘obliged-to land at Rattlesmake hollow, some distance below the vil- lage.
