OR z number of years past there has been more F friction in our commercial dealings with Germany. WVe have had occasion more than once to complain of an unfair treatment of our agri- cultural products sent to that. count while the Germans, on the other hand, have not failed to-find or le of us. some cause of compla additional igor to the discussion of the trade relations of the two countries, and accordingly there will be a good deal of interest in the recently published bulletin of the Treasury Bureau of Statis of tt last The figures show that imports of a new tariffi in Germany has given cs showing the growth mimerce of the two countries during the hirty years. into the United States from Germany have increased from $27,000,- 000 in 1870 to $100,000,000 in 1901, and that our ex- ports to that country during the same period have in- creased from $42,000,000 to $191,000,000. Thus there has been an increase of nearly 300 per cent in the value of orts from Germany and of nearly 400 per cent The s the export sid; five 3 have doubled, heing in go1 $191,072.2 n the value of our exports. ¥ 0n greatest growth has been during in which time our exports to 1896 - $97.807.197, The growth is distributed zmong a large number of articles. Comparing our exports to Germany in 1805 with those of 1901, corn has increased from $1,672,539 in 1895 to $17,305,229 in rs, 1901; wheat, from $1,522.736 to $7.871,573; lard, from $8018,516 to $13,700,8; oil cake and oil cake meal, fr $2,339,885 to $5,242,624; flour, from $740,- 264 to $2,011,2; agricuitural implements, from $556,014 to $2,677,319; and copper, from $1,604,390 in 1805 to $7,785,496 in 1901. Machinery of all kinds, including steam engines, increased from $1,595,135 in 1805 to $8,100,005 in 1000, the figures for 1901 in this item being not yet available. On the import side the articles which show the greatest growth during the last decade are coal tar colors and dyes, chemicals, laces and embroideries, earthen, stone and china ware and sugar. Coal tar colors and dyes have increased from $1,272,275 in 1801 to $3,822,162 in 1900; other chemicals, from $1,368088 to $3,068,116; laces and embroideries, from $945,186 to $2,402,372; earthen, stone and china ware, from $1,475057 to $2,787,163; sugar, from $7,200.150 to $12,346,734.” By comparing the articles exported by us to Ger- many with those imported from that country it will be seen that should there be any such improbable thing 2s a tariff war between the two nations the ad- vantages will be on our side. We send to Germany vast quantities of foodstuffs that are necessary for the ng of her people and a good deal of raw material and machinery for her factories, while we import hardly anything that we do not produce in our own country. Without American corn and wheat and mezat products the German people would fare much worse than they do, while were we to lose the bulk of our imports from Germany our working people would hardly know it A New York actress who a year ago sued a man for breach of promise is now suing him for a di- vorce. If her pleadings in the second instance are as correct as they were in the first she has a very bright prospect of losing her case. The Bogr war has had a worse effect on Kipling than on the Poet Laureate, and as a consequence the former favorite is now getting more scorn from the critics than the other fellow. The self-styled Progressive Democracy seems to have struck 2 snag in an effort to raise money for the Ohio campaign and is no longer xm\gressing Telephone Press 204 A A o The recent drait | manage sc well. In full it reads: “We declare un- alterable opposition to the criminal trusts and to every illegal Combinati_o} of capital. We denounce such trusts as a serious menace to public welfare, re- stricting the opportunities and absorbing the sub- stance of the people. They are the direct product of partial and unjust legislation, and a reckless mul- tiplication of corporations without suitable provisions for their control. The rights of American freemen must not be sacrificed in the interests of corporations banded together for their destruction. We arraign the Republican party for both its failure to enforce existing laws and to enact laws against the trusts.” A motion for a bill of particulars would confuse the makers of that plank. What is a criminal trust, and what is an illegal combination of capital? To be criminal an act must be obnoxious to existing criminal law. To be illegal a combination of capital must violate ag existing civil statute. In either case any citizen can invoke the law against that which is criminal and that which is illegal. Then why arraign the Republican party for a fail- ure to enforce existing law? Virginia is a Demo- cratic State. That party controls the executive, leg- islative and judidial branches of the State govern- ment. The presence of a criminal trust in that State, as a buyer or seller, subjects it to Virginia law. Is the Republican party responsible for failure to en- force the laws of Virginia in the Democratic courts of that State? The civil law of Virginia is ready to be invoked against illegal combinations. Why is it not put in action? Do the Virginia Democrats in- tend to be understood as saying that only Republi- cans or the Republican party is charged with the en- forcement of existing law? The courts are open everywhere, to any citizen who desires to rebuke the violation of law. The Democratic party was in power in the National Government and a majority of the States for eight vears. At that time the oil and whisky trusts and others were in existence. Accord- ing to the Virginia plank the Democratic party was arraignable for failure to enforce existing law and to enact laws against the trusts. The only Federal statute on the subject was | drawn by John Sherman, a Republican Senator from Ohio. The cold truth is that any man anywhere in the United States can invoke existing law. If the Demo- crats of Virginia think there is not law enough their Legiclature can make more. It can outlaw trusts in that commonwealth. It can refuse the benefit of its collection laws to all articles imported there by trusts. It can make illegal the collection of a bill for powder, tin, steel, whisky and even for the kero- | sene oil used in burning negroes at the stake. It can even make the cale of trust goods criminal and prosecute to fine and jail the agents, drummers and other representatives of trusts, and can make it a | criminal offense for 2 merchant to have in his pos- sion and offer for sale the products of a trust. Virginia has a quiver full of arrows for the criminal trusts and illegal combinations of capital, but in- stead of using them she prefers to bluster and draw an empty bow, for political effect. It must in fairness be said that the Virginia poli- ticians are like their kind everywhere. They shy and cry out about diseases in the body politic, but arc the last to vaccinate against them. Just now the Democratic politicians are badly in need of a | grievance. They find it in the justifiable public soli- That solic citude over the aggregation of capital. tude will work out firally in the protection of in- | dividual rights. This will be done by the enforce- ment of existing law, not by politicians, but by men whose rights are imperiled. If such enforcement demonstrate-the insufficiency of the law, it will be re- inforced. A very large nur of ing combina- | > | tions are destined: to fail because of inherent infirmi- | ties.

Senator Tillman’s recent speech in Wisconsin de- fending lynching has not been received with favor in South Carolina. For example, the Columbia State says of it: “Every speech of that kind is an obstacle in the way of better, saner and safer rela- tionship between the two races. excuse It is a fomenter of discord and distrust, an for hostility and hatred.” THE MARYLAND CAMPAIGN. ARYLAND Republicans have met the Dem- M ocrats of that State fairly upon the issue chosen by the Democrats themselves. Since Mr. Gorman induced his party to ignore not only Bryan but all national issues as well and to ask sup- port of the people upon State issues only, the Re- publicans have consented to waive every advantage of the prestige of the party in national affairs and { have started out to meet their opponents on the ground chosen by themselves. About the only State issue the Democratic* con- vention could conjure up was that of suppressing the colored vote. They have raised the cry that Maryland is in danger of negro domination and that all white men should vote the Democratic ticket in order to secure a white man’s government. It is on that plat- form and with that sort of a campaign argument they are now seeking to capture the State that they may return Gorman to the United States Senate.. That the cry of negro domination in Maryland is but a bugaboo has been convincingly shown by Mr. Goldsborough, chairman of the Republican State Central Committee. In a recent statement he says: “The suggestion that the more than 8 per cent of white population in the State is in jeopardy, from any standpoint, from the less than 20 per cent of negro population is an insult to a brave and intelligent peo- ple. There has never been a time when there was not a white man’s government in Maryland, and as the, percentage of colored people has steadily decreased each decade since 1810, when it was 38.22 per cent, to ithe present time, when it is but 10.78 per cent, the puerility and absurdity of crying aloud for a white man’s government are apparent.” Republicans, however, have not been content with exposing the humbug of the State issue raised by the Democrats. They have in their platform declared the real nature of the issues that confront the people of Maryland. The State and also the city of Bal more have long been under the domination of pol cal bosses, one of whom and the chief is Arthur Pue Gorman himself. Another prominent member of the gang is a Baltimore boss named Rasin. The Repub- llit:an platform deals with these men directly. In one plank it says: “The Republican party compelled offi- cials of the Gorman-Rasin administrations to dis- gorge public moneys and collected public dues from long .exempted corporations. The Republican party promises that our unconstitutional election law shall be“repealed, so that every male citizen in. Maryland having the qualifications prescribed by the constitu- tion shall have the right of suffrage.” Another ringing plark of the platiorm says: “We appeal to all good citizens to unite in defeating the selfish political bosses in their conspiracy, begun with the extra session to perpetuate themselves and their methods, by one-sided elections, and to thwart the first purpose of that conspiracy by defeating the elec- tion to the United States Senate of the Democratic leader who dictated the disfranchising election law to a servile Assembly. If we succeed we will defeat the election to the United States Senate of a man whose views on tariff and finance fluctuate with political exigencies, who is stable only in unvarying control of the Democratic party machine. If we succeed we will forever destroy the power of that Democratic city boss who, beyond the average span of human life, has made legislation and controlled Baltimore politics for revenue only.” That, then, is the issue that confronts the voters of Maryland. It is not a question of domination by the colored vote but of domination by bosses who are seeking to suppress the colored vote and to nullify that of respectable white men. In fact, as the Bal timore News puts it, the question is: “Shall the fruits of twenty years of reform agitation, culminating in the great popular victory of 1895 over ring rule, be surrendered? Shall we go back to the domination which for so long a period stifled all honest political life and made corruption, fraud and subjection to boss dictation seem the only possible condition of public affairs in the State of Maryland and the city of Bal- timore?” That is the true purport and meaning of the State issues in Maryland this year, and when the votes are counted after election day it is probable Mr. Gorman will have reason to be sorry that he said anything about State affairs at all. ———— Since the Navy Department was so prompt in cen- suring Rear Admiral Evans for the strictures upon Secretary Chandler, which he embodied in his book, it is a little strange that something in the way of a ithe laborious historian who charged Schley with DEPEW’'S RETIREMENT. ENATOR DEPEW recently announced in London: *“I am going to retire from the inter- viewing business permanently. S my full, time and generally have enjoyed it; there have been so many fictitious and erroneous re- ports of my sayings and speeches since I have ar- rived in. Europe this summer that I have determined to give up the job.” That the American people will receive this I have served but an- nouncement with regret goes without saying. Had Depew determined to retire from the Senate no one would have cared, for we do not know him as a Senator; had he decided to retire from business the don the habit of after-dinner oratory there would be no mourning, for the world is now familiar with his style of “piling story on story” and there are plenty of younger men who> can take his place. It is dif- ferent, however, with his retirement from the field of the interviewer. wide world to take his place as a purveyor of inter- views for space fillers on every subject from the way to solve the Chinese question to “what I would do if I were to be born again.” Depew interviews have been a part of the lighter generation. There was no topic of the time they did not tecuch and they touched nothing without telling a pleasant anecdote. That the anecdote was not always relevant to the theme and never at any time pointed a moral did not detract from the agreeable- ness of what he said, or at least permitted the re- porter to say for him. To have no more such inter- views will be a loss both to the passing and to the arriving generation. The one will miss something for which it had acquired a taste and a longing, while the other will never have an opportunity to study the interview as a fine art and learn how to say nothing in such # way that none but an expert could find out that nothing had been said. Senator Depew attributes his decision to retire to the fact that his sayings and speeches have been erroneously reported ever since he has been in Eu- rope. That, however, cannot be the real reason. The Senator is enough of a logician to know that the misrepresentation of his words by reporters in Eu- rope affords no valid ground for refusing to be in- terviewed by reporters in New York or Chicago. The Senator’s retirement, then, must be due to causes other than that which he gave, and the suf- fering public has an interest in knowing what they are. Some light upon the question is thrown by further remarks of the Senator in the same conversation in which he announced his retirement. For example, he is reported to have said: “As a United States Senator I am precluded from discussing Lord Kitch- ener’s proclamation. I presume’ Mr. Balfour and Mr. Chamberlain will enlighten us on the subject when they speak at Blenheim, and it would have been a pleasure to me to be near them and witness the demonstration at the Duke of Marlborough’s charming palace had I not thought my presence there would be misconstrued in the United States.” From that statement it appears Mr. Depew has his Senatorship on his brain. He retires from the field of interviewing because he deems the old sport in- consistent with his new dignity. It is sad to have to exchange a unique master of the art of being inter- viewed for a very prosy Senator, but the country must bear its fate. The police officials of New York, who are again under the lash for alleged corruption, are crying that they have enemies enough already. If current reports of police crookedness be true, these enemies ought to be encouraged by the reputable people of the metropolis. —_— In a recent dispatch General MacArthur is credited with the very wise and by no means new suggestion that Providence is a poor mainstay in war. _The general evidently has some confidence in his guns and ‘the men behind them, ; Since Santos-Dumont cannot make a trip round the Tour Eiffel in a balloon it is more evident than ever that when Andree tried to make a journey in one to the north pole he was a long w3y ahead of the pro- cession. o ’ FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY., AUGUST 1 mild reproof at least has not been sent to Mr. Maclay, | country would not lament, or even were he to aban- | There is no one in the whole | reading of American people for the whole of this | @ it el e @ ANSWERS TO QUERIES.| NEXT LEAPYEAR—A.

HONORE BAUDRE AND HIS UNIQUE INSTRUMENT OF RESONANT FLINTS, CONSTRUCTED AFTER MANY YEARS OF PATIENT RE- SEARCH FOR STONES GIVING THE PROPER NOTES OF SCALE. ERMONS In stones have become common enough since geologists learned to Interpret the secrets of fossils. To awake melodies and harmonles in peb- bles and rocks would seem a much more - difficult, if not Impossible. achievement. It has been accomplished, howevér, for there is in existence a wonderful plano, the notes of which are given forth by flints arranged in a regular scale. The tones of this geological plano are of remarkable quality. Mozart dreamed of an orchestra of stones for the “Magic Flute.” If the pa- Henae and skill of the plano's creator and owner, M. Honore Bagdre, could be carrled on to further lengths, it is not impossible that such an orchestra could be forthcoming. It was a work of ye ears, says L'Tllustration, for M. Baudre to make the collec- tion of filnts which constitute his geological plano. They are now to be seen at an exhibition which is being held at Brest. The stones do not belong to the class of resonant rocks known as ‘“phonolytes,” such as are found in Auvergne, not | far from Mont-Dore, but are flints collected by M. Baudre with Infinite toil and search, each giving when struck a true musical note. By accident, while taking a country walk one day, he picked up a flint and chancing to strike it heard a faint note respond to the blow. The idea took hold of him to gather, if possible, enough flints to form a complete chromatic scale. Difficulties in the search for such stones only increased his ardor. For more than thirty years he pursued the quest, making it the principal aim of his life to form out of a collection of flints the instrument he called the “geological iano."” P rom the nefzhborhood of the little village of the department of L'Indre, where he lived and first met with the singini flint, he extended his search far and wide. Only once in a while would he hit on the ideal fiint which uttered a trus ndte with generous vibration. That was finding the precious stone which repa him for his thousand and one disappointments, his toilsome wanderings, his dil- igent search in stony places. After many years he had at length got together the full scale in flint notes, and numerous examples of each, with the éxception of one. He had been so f?r unsuccessful in putting his hand on the first “do.” Perhaps it did not exist In nature. He gave up hope that he could meet with it in France. He would try Canada. But the New World showed no trace of the initial note of the octav and M. Baudre returned to his native land resigned to the notion that the chase must be abandoned in his old age. Fortune once again smiled and the stone of which he despaired suddenly appeared as he was walking in Berry. Advanced in years he now passes his leisure In playing, as he does with skill, on this curious piano. | PERSONAL MENTION. T. A. Kearney, U. 8. N,, is a guest at | the Occidental. General J. W. B.
