This is so because our relations with Eng land have been closer and our deal- ings more extensive. For almost a hundred years, since we gave her a sound threshing in 1812 and '13, we have been able to come to an amicable understanding on ail disturbing questions. Some of the matters in dispute have been settled by arbitration, and it must be ad- mitted that our experiences in that line have not been al'ogether satis- factory.

The bill known as the Torrey bankruptcy bill, has been before congress for a number of sessions and was passed by the House at the last session. The senate com- mittee, however, substituted a bill radically different, and no bill has Generat Wertar started out a yet been passed by the senate.

Men who fail in business and are unable to pay their debts are resting under an in- cubus which often prevents a really capable man from rising again. Kept under continual threat of a descent by old creditors upon any property he may accumulate, he usually fails to accumulate anything, or if he does he has it in his wife’s or his son's name, thus placing himself un- der temptation to defraud a new set of creditors. When a business man finds his affairs inextricably involved, if it were possible for him to obtain, by turning over all his property to his creditors, a discharge, many men who took advantage of it would eventually pay the old obligations; men who without the protection af+ forded by the disvharge of the obli- ‘Tur superficial character of Mr. Bryan’s thought is evideneed by his expressed intention of writing 350 pages of his forthcoming book in two weeks. Itis safe to say that Mr. Bryan’s book will be as signal a fail- _ ure as has been the other two enter- prises upon which he bas recently en- tered, the race for the presidency and his lecture tour. —_e—__ A wiperat advertiser is always liberal minded and enterprising busi- ness man, the man with whom it is most pleasant and profitable to do business.

The unreasonableness of their Undyr a silver standard, such | demands is so apparent thitit is un- nevessary to notive them. It is pos- sibie that without the votes cast by the sound money Democrats for the Repubzican ticket it would not have been elected. But even this 1s by no means conceded. It is believed that had the sound money Demo- crate suppo:ted Palmer and Buckner the Republican ticket would have been elected. But whether so or not, our Democratic friends must re- member they did not support the Re- publican ticket or policy because of a love of Republicans or Republican- ism, but merely from a hatred of the principles they would have had to support as an alternative. Republi- cans were of course glad to receive the support of such Democrats, but had it been tendered on the terms of the demands now made by these busybodies it would have been promptly declined. The Republican party, whose policy was known be- fore the election, is still Republican snd will not commit the folly of sur- rendering the time tested principles, upon which it has attained whatever of success that has attended it, at the behest of those who found their own party habitation so badly wsec ked a8 to be compelled to shelter under the roof of their whilom enemies, each as we would have had with the suc- cess of the Bryanite forces each of these depositors would have received the equivalent of $169 for nis savings hal he checked it out.

The interior finish is entirely of oxidized copper, instead of paint and varnish. It is said to be more durable and to be complished at about the same cost in one third the time required by the old method of finishing. Itis also susceptible of a high degree of deco- ration, The greater safety in case of fire is also an argument in its favor. Ir is estimated that the direct losses to American investors in Cuba by the ten years’ war was $100,000,- 000. The losses by the present war have scarcely fallen below that sum now. With the independence of Cuba future investments would be comparatively secure. With the re- storation of Spanish authority in avy form on the island the future invest- ments would be constantly menaced by threatened disturbances, for Span- ish rule would be a thousand fold mote hateful to Cubans than ever be- fore and would most probably be far | and oppressive, THAT ARBITKALION TREATY. There is good reason to believe that a properly arranged arbitration treaty with England would he pro- ductive of good results. There are very many small differences arising from time to time whose settlement could be very properly referred to the Board of Arbitration, and with satisfactory results. ‘‘Many mickles make a muckle,’ says the old Scotch proverb, and in the same way many small abrasions makea big sore. The less friction there is in the settlement of the small differences between the two great nations the more tyrani Dip General Weyler possess the at- tributes of a great general, the pres- ent Jamentable condition of things in Havana would not exist.

PASSING OF SENATOR HILL. At one time, and it was not long since either, Senator Hill, of New York, stood head an shoulders above every other Democratic leader. He was practically the oracle of the party. When the apostosy of his party to the populistic doctiines oc- curred at Chicago the Senator stooi forth like a mighty general at the head of the hosts of sound men, and refusing to vote reserved the to right to refuse support to the tick- et and platform nominated, Mr. Hill was universally accepted as the leader of the opposition to ,the Bryan element. Had he, fullowing the convention, after the manner of such men as Cockran, Flower, Pal- mer, Bragg, Morrison, Carlisle, Cle- yeland and nearly all the really great party, taken a boli money leaders of the and unequivocal stand in favor of the right as he saw it, he would have in- curred the enmity of some of the Bryan wing of the party, perhaps, but he would have retained their re- spect, while he would have continued the recognized head of the sound money wing of the De- mocracy, and in the rather improbable event of the reuniting of the two wings of the party would have been the certain leader of its hosts. But the segstor did not rise to the o-casion. He did not appre- ciate the situation in which he was placed. By refusing, through false ideas with reference to the demands of fealty, to pronounce against the suividal policy he had condemued in convention, he lost the respect of the sound money wing of his party, and by his refusal publicly to indorse and advocate the election of Mr. Bryan he incurred the enmity of the Populistio wing of the party, He is now cordially hated by both, and his very small support in the New York the recent senatorial legislature in contest leaves small hope for his po- litical future. By a vacillating and uncertain policy he has succeeded in alienating all factions of his party, when by coming forth boldly in favor of the right as he saw it he would easily have been the leader of the sound money forces. ‘The people will not tolerate too much policy ia a politician, ‘They demand character and independence of men in high po- sition, and when they see in a man of Mr. Hill’s standing a disposition toparley with burning issues, at a needed, for fear of injury to personal standing or prospects, they lose pa- tisnee with him. He is sure, out of his abundance of caution, to bring upon bunself the very evils he is en- deavoring to avoid. And this is what has happened to Senator Hill, His great opportunities have come and gone and lo has failed to grasp them. He will henceforth be a pigmy in politics, if indeed he is not entirely unbeard of, **How are the mighty fallen!’* Where a catarrhal affection of the throat or head or any pulmonary ail ment exists, a slight cold or a hack- iug congh is a serious thing to have— it is so serious you can not afford to have it.

Bet Compulsory, Bat Beneficial to United States Cavalrymen. The Cossack drill, as it is known, is not a compulsory drill in the United Staves army in any sense of the word. It is offered to the men, and they may learn it or not, as they please. Troop T's men (Seventh United States cavalry) have learned it perfectly, and they dis- | played {t last spring in the field in | a state of absolute perfection. Speak- j(ng of the drill at Fort Riley, Capt. | Garlington said “What the public has named the Cos- sack drill, as far as it applies to my troop, is the introduction of acrobatic feats into the cavalry drill, and has | for its object variety and relief from | the tedium of formal drill, cultivation | of self-confidence in the rider and the | thorough training of the horse. It is the means of creating interest on the | part of the soldier in his horse, which | {is the first step in the making of a cay: | alryman. It also brings abouta healthy spirit of rivalry in feats of horseman- ship, as well as in the care and train- | ing of the horses, | “The animals are taught té lie down, | rider up, primarily to discipline them, | and, secondarily, the principle can be | successfully applied in the secreting | of small detachments of cavalrymen, | such as patrols or scouts, With a troop | of trained horses such small bodies of troops can be almost instantly con- | cealed in ravines, washes, tall grass ot slight underbrush, and an enemy pase | very close to such a concealed force without being aware of its existence. The soldier, if occasion requires, may fire over their horses on the ground, using them as breastworks. This is 4 | valuable feature, and not only pro tects the man, but if the horse escapes injury as well the soldier has # good mount under him upon which to get tway if he is too close pressed. You | know, in war it has ofttimes become | necessary for soldiers to kill thelr horses to use their carcasses as breast works. In such a case, even if the en- emy be driven off, the cammlryman finds himself in a very undesirable position, | afoot in an enemy's country. Again. this feature serves a valuable purpose in accustoming the horse to the reports pt Arearms, for when he ts down and | his head held down he is perfectly pow: erless to get away | “The degree of self-confidence whiob | the men acquire from this drill is alec | to be considered. When a man finde that he can stand on his hend on his horse, while at a gallop, he has a bet ter opinion of himself and will make extra efforts to further tmprove both himself and his horse, Improvement in horsemanship, skill in the use of arma when mounted, nerve, confidence and | rood judgment have been most marked singe T began this drill in my troop bout 2% years ago.”—Portland Ore | gonian. A WOMAN AT THE THROTTLE. Progress of Senertzeticn in the Wilds Ivania, Twa lumber buyers of this elty have returned from a recent tFip, bearing tle reports of the progress of woman in the wilds of Pennsy!: Vania. At Du Bots the lumber buyers were directed to Miller's sawmill, several miles away, In a neck of the woods found it to be # small portable ll, which had shut down, while @ man and a boy carried out into the yard a pile of freshly sawed boards Dut just as the visitors camo with!n henring distance they heard the boy eall out i "Let 'er go, mother." ‘Tere she goes,” answered a femi Pine voice, and, with a few preliminary snorts and hisses, the engine got dow? to business and the circular saw re sumed its musical buzzing. The lumber buyers looked at each other and then proceeded to investi gate. The engine was housed ina rough shanty by itself. Looking through its open door the visitors saw a woman oiling up the mechanism. She had o heavy ducking apron over her calico dress and the perspiration ran in streams from her face, which was en+ veloped in a calico sunbonnet Noticing with a critical eye that the engine was running smoothly and that the water in the boiler was at its proper the woman filled up the furnace with slabs and sawdust and then, pick- ing up an ax, proceeded to chop more slabs into suitable lengths, Presently the saw got sivek on a knot and the driving belt slipped off. “Hey, there! “Stop ‘er! Stop ‘ert” shouted boy and man together. Whereupon the woman made a grab for the throttle and brought things te @ standstill again. rhe visitors learned that the engineer in petticoats was Mrs, Miller po ce the community contained no male mem- ber of that craft who was considered her equal, Cartons The oldest and most curious herbart um in the world {s the Egyptian mu- seum at Cairo.
