LEAD, 3. D Sept. 8. (Special.) Tho
Galena mining district Is extremely llvoly.
This Is due partly to tho building In of
narrow gaugo roads by both tho KIkhorn
and the Burlington railway companies.
This district was nt one time worked to
a great extent for Bllvcr ores. There Is a
theory that nt a depth of something llko
00 feet, all of tho surfaco veins, which cut
the ground In every direction, will como
together, forming one large body of galena
oro. Capital has not been centered there
strong enough to sink a shaft In it centrally
situated place to determine this theory.
Just as soon as tho railroads nro com
pleted, tho attention of capitalists will bo
turned that way.
Twenty stamps have been otdercd for tho
Uncle Sam mill, on Elk creek, owned by tho
Clover Leaf Mining company. The mill
has sixty stamps already. This mlno is
turning out to bo a remarkably rich pro
ducer, it is stated that the monthly clean
up amounts to over $75,000 and thut from
only twenty stamps. The company which
recently acquired tho property has spent
several hundred thousand dollars In open
ing up the oro ledgo and It Is said that there
Is ore enough In sight to run the mill a
number of years, full rapacity. The next
largest hoisting plant In tho niuck Hills
baB been erected nt the uhaft. Tho com
pany lias acquired several thousand acres
of mining ground. Tho mlno Is on the
southern end of tho Ilomestake oro belt.

Tho peculiar freaks of an ore shoot In
missing n certain property and going con
trary to all expectations of mining men
and experts, nan been shown on tho ground
of the Sunset Mining company, a Minne
apolis concern, Tho ground Is In the Paid
Mountain district, surrounded on all Bides
by mines that nro heavy producers. Tho
Golden npwnrd and Horseshoe companies
have largo mines there, Hnd when tho com
pany bought thlt. particular ground It was
generally supposed that the mammoth
shoots of Blllcious ore thnt have kept the
Dcadwood smelter and the Pluma chlorl
natlon worku busy for years, would bo found
running across It. These shoots usually
run In n northcrl and southerly direc
tion In the Dlack Hills, resting conformably
upon the lower uuartzlte. The Sunset com
pany bought good hoisting machinery and
put down n shaft to qunrtzlte.'a distance of
'250 feet, and then n crosscut tunnel was nin
clear across the north end of the block
of ground, a distance of 1,700 feet, but no
oro of any consequence was encountered.
Tho company spent a lot of money and
finally bad to closo down the work.
Ilocent development work by the Golden
Howard lompany bns located the big shoo
of ore, scheduled to cross the Sunset prop
erty, Jylng farther east and on another
company's ground. It was at first believed
that the Tornado shoot of ore passed across
lhe Sunset ground, but It, too, has been
found to lie farther west, so that both
big shoots of ore have been found to turn
their courses contrary to tho usual law.
The Oolden Iteward company gets one
of tho big shoots, which Is about 300 feet
wide, and has been hoisting ore from It
through tho old Union shaft, but it has
now been decided to sink a new Bhaft
nearer the shoot. These shoots of ore are
from five to eight feet thick and resemble
large rivers, boing continuous In their
courses.
The Sunset Mining company has not
entirely abandoned Its prospect In this dis
trict, although it has commenced the de
velopment of nnother property In Colorado.
Tho uncertainty of mining Is Illustrated In
the porverso course of the two oro shoots,
which most mining men said must certainly
pass through tho property of tho Sunset
Mining company.
The shaft of tho Illack Hills licit Devel
opmcnt company Is now Hearing 'the COO
foot level, at which depth n crosscut will be
run east nnd west, unless ore should bo en
countered In tho shaft bottom. It Is be
lieved that tho oro vein will not be far from
the shaft. It may be necessary to sink
tho shaft to tho 1,'000-fcot level before tho
ore shows up, for tho formation dips In
that direction. Tho ohnft will bo sunk
1,000 feet If necessary. This compnny Is
operating on a block of sround located Im
mediately south of the Homestako mine.
The Hidden Fortune company of Denver
Ib meeting with great success In tho de
velopment of a property north of the Home
stake mine. The shaft that was started
on tho top of the hill is getting Into n
olid ledge of frco-mllling ore, which aB
Fays about $15 a ton gold. It Is ono of
several ledges that run parcllcl In that
particular pnrt of tho ground. They widen
out with depth, forming a largo ledge ot
good ore. This company has sold sovoral
hundred thousand dollars worth of stock,
the largo mining estate having been paid
for already, with ample working capital.
The Highland Chief Mining company is
building a cyanldo plant, which will bo
used In connection with n twenty-stamp
mill. Tho property la at the north ot
Spruce gulch. Tho mlno was worked sev
eral years ago at a profit, until tho oro be
came too refractory to bo handled by amal
gamation alone. The plant will be ready
to start by November 1. There are already
oro reserves nt tho mlno that will pay
well by tho addition of the cyanide annex.
A carload of machinery has arrived for
the Titanic Mining company, which ownB a
large tract of patented ground In tho Car
bonate district. A shaft Is to bo sunk to
tho quartzlte lovel, where oro bodies arc
supposed to exist.
Chicago parties have taken up tho Old
nill mine, four miles north of Custer, It
Is owned by N. Itoss and II. II. Wood of that
city, In the early days ore was hauled by
wegon from tho mlno to n stamp mill at
Central City, which paid tho owners well.

A completo hoisting plant, with electric
drills, will soou bo Installed nt the shaft

Mining company of Michigan, A shaft Is

with the expectation of finding out tho best
process for its treatment. The company
will erect a plant nt the mlno. The
ground Joins tho North Star mlno on the
north, which Is proving to be mich a bo
nanza property.
The University company doubled Its
working shift the first of this month and
will ruh the work of sinking the main
thaft to tho ore ledgo. It is expected
ninety feet of the shaft will catch tho ore,
which was sunk upon 100 feet fjom tho

sltlon and Follow Citizens. It Is with
genuine pleasure that I meet once mora
with the people of Omaha, whoso wealth of
wolcomo Is not altogether unfamiliar to mo
and whoso warm hearts have before touched
and moved me. For this renewed mani
festation of your regard and for the cordial
reception of today my heart responds with
profound gratitude and a deep appreciation
which I cannot conceal and which the lan
guage of compliment Is Inadequate to con
vey. My greeting Is not alone to your
city and to the stnto of Nebraska, but to
tho people of all thu states of tho trans
Mississippi group participating hero and I
cannot withhold congratulations of tho
evidences of their prosperity furnished by
this great exposition. If testimony were
needed to establish the fact that their pluck
has not deserted them nnd that prosperity
Is again with them, It js found here. This
picture dispels all doubt.
In an ago of expositions thty havo added
yet another magnificent example. The his
torical celebrations at Philadelphia and
Chicago and the splendid exhibits at Now
Orleans, Atlanta and Nashville are now a
part of the past and jet In Influence they
still live nnd tholr beneficent results ara
closely Interwoven with our national de
velopment. Similar rewards will honor
tho authors nnd patrons of tho Tranamls-
slsstppl and International Exposition.
Their contribution will mark another epoch
In tho nation's material advancement.
Ono of tho great laws of life Is progress,
and nowhere have the principles of this law
been so strikingly illustrated as In th
United States. A century and a decado
of our national life havo turned doubt Into
conviction, changed experiments Into dem
onstrations, revolutionized old methods nnd
won new triumphs which hnvo challenged
tho nttentlon of the world. This Is truo
not only of tho accumulation of material
wealth and advance In education, science,
Invention nnd manufactures, but above nil
In the opportunities to the pcoplo for their
own elevation, which havo been secured by
wlso, free government.
Hitherto, in peace nnd In war, with ad
ditions to our territory nnd slight changes
in our laws, we have steadily enforced the
spirit of tho constitution secured to us by
the nohlo sclf-sncrlfico and the far-seeing
sagacity of our ancestors. Wo havo avoided
tho temptntlons of conquest in the spirit
of gain. With an Increasing love for our
Institutions nnd an abiding faith In their
stability we havo mado the triumphs of our
system of government In tho progress and
prosperity of our people an Inspiration to
the whole human race. Confronted at this
moment by new and grave problems, wo
must recognize that their solution will nf
fect not ourselves alone, but others of tho
family of nations.
In this ago of trcqucnt Interchange nnd
mutual dependency, we cannot shirk our
International responsibilities if we would:
thoy must bo met with courage nnd wisdom
and wo must follow duty even If desire
opposes. No deliberation can bo too ma
ture or self-control too constant In this
solemn hour of our history. We must

Royal Fetes in Bohemia
Such days as thes wo havo Just gone
through In Prag. and, for that matter, such
n tlmo of new Impulses In the old realm of
Bohemia In general, tho present generation
of Bohemians surely has never seen. Older
or younger. It has scarcely ever dreamed of
seeing such. Tho emperor In Trag re
siding for half n week with the Vienna
court in the magnificent old Hradchli. put
Into sumptuous order for the royal visit
tho emperor In the majestic Karlstoln castle
tho cmpsror entertaining and entertained
by tho proudest nnd oldest feudal aristocracy
of Prag, many of whom havo hitherto been
conservative as to such honors almost to
the point of discourtesy tho Thuns, tho
Waldstclns, Coudenhorrs. Czcrnins, Traut
mannsdorf, Klnskys, the Lobkowitz, the
Schwarzenbergs tho emperor making
speeches In CzcchlBch anil the most emblt
tcrcd Czech making speeches to him In Ger
man the emperor opening the new publlu
bridge named for him that crosses the
Moldau and prophesying In set terms Its
symbolism as well as praising Its utility,
and all Prag and German Bohemia In n
delirium of cnthuslnsm and fireworks.
Surely this is a strangely fair rontrast to
tho scenes In Vienna and tho capital of
Bohemia within recent years. And every
body (or every other body) talking of the
"real," permanent suspension of tho blttor
fight that has bo long been waged, even to
tho casting of Inkstands and rulers at one's
Austrlnn adversaries, In lieu of Javelins
and daggers, and over and over again one
overheard the words, "When tho coronation
of tho king comes off" "tho king of Bo
hemia," "When tho court Is In residence
hero next time." Old Tycho Drahc, tho
great astronomer, whoso bones have Just
been verified In his grave In the Toynklrch,
never read such a wonder In his stnr-gaz-Ins,
nnd aa for somebody clscs bones those
of King Oltoknr of Bohemia well, It 1 a
marvel If they havo rested quietly through
kuch Hapsburg proceedings and triumphs.
It will not bo worth while to describe,
especially as ocean posts aro at their best
slow transmitters of such special corre
spondence, half of the aspects of this hur
ried fete, the splendor and dignity and
beauty with which Prag has been clothed
for so extraordinary nn event and political
opt80de. Literally the old city put on Its
beautiful garments as not for fifty years,
perhaps for a hundred. Draperies, banners,
flags and garlands were the clothes, and
by night the blnzo of electricity running
riot across every historic or trivial facado
was as Jewels. Moreover, old and rich na
tional costumes were brought out, fur
bished up and worn, day by day, by princes
and peasants. All tho world of Bohemia
nrao trooping to Prag In "Acht und
Trncht" fashion. Kvery now and then you
saw, In n suburb especially, groups of men
and women that made you rub your eyes
and ask yourself If you went not at a big
gratis performance of Smetnnn's "Dallbor"
or "Prodanol Novesja." Tho Bohemians
aro not, ns are tho Austrlans nnd Hun
garians, n handsome race to my mind.
They lack beauty of feature and elegance
of figure. Thoy have not the exotic and
Oriental richness of physique whereof thei
Magyar Is so Justly vain, Is there anything
quite so overcome with a senso of his own
charms ns a Hungarian I.lfo guardsman?
Tho Hussites nnd Protestantism and op.
presalon havo lpflucncud the dress of the
aristocracy, perceptibly to its sobriety.
Still, only In Hungary will ;oii seen certain
color effects most seductively, if accident
ally, occurring. Perhaps the height ot
this Bort of Bnrtnrlal kaleidoscope came
by day, when tho Franz Josefs bridge was
opened, or by night, at tho gala opera per
formance, when part of Dvorak's now opera,
"Itussalka," wns sung In the National thea
teran amazing spectacle ns to Jewels and
stuffs that outdid the fctago bhow. In tho
supplement to this Imperial trip to Prag,
tho visit of tho emperor to Leltmerlts and
Ausslg and Thereslanstadt, there was really
not much less of national costuming aud
of Bohemian suggestUv-ness In many de
cades although thoso localities aro German-Bohemian
so largely In population
nnd thorough going party spirit, as the
politicians of the empire know to their woe.
The opportunity to air goodly veitraents

THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, SEP! EMBER 0, 1901.
Omaha Speech
promote our own nnd tho general good.
It hoa been said by oomo one that tho
normal condition of nations Is war. That
Is not true of the United States. Wo never
enter upon war until every effort for peace
without it has been exhausted. Ours has
never been a military government, l'ence,
with whoso blessings wo havo been so
slngulnrly favored, Is the national desire
and tho goal of every American aspiration.
On the 25th of April, for the first time
for more thau a generation, the United
States sounded tho call to arms. Tho
banners of war were unfurled; tho best
and bravest from every section responded ;
a mighty nrmy was enrolled; the north and
the south vied with each other In patrlottc
devotion; science was Invoked to furnish
Its most effective weapons; factories were
rushed to supply equipments; the youth and
tho veteran Joined In freely offering their
services to their country; volunteers and
regulars nnd nil the people rallied to tho
support of the republic. Thero was no
brenk In tho line, no halt tn (ho march, no
fear tn tho heart, no resistance to tho
patriotic Impulse at home, no successful re
sistance to tho patriotic spirit of the troops
fighting In dlstnnt waters or on a foreign
Bhoro.
I'n t rlnt Inn Klnmm Out,
What a wonderful experience It had been
from the standpoint ot patriotism and
achievement! Tho storm broke to sud
denly that It was hero almost beforo we
realized It, Our navy was too small,
though forceful, with Its modern equip
ment, and most fortunate In its trained
officers nnd sailors. Our nrmy had years
ago been reduced to n peace footing. Wo
had only 10,000 available troops when tho
war was declared, but tho account which
officers and mon gave of themselves on tho
battlefields has never been surpassed. Tho
manhood was there and everywhere Ameri
can pntrlottsm wps there and Its resources
were limitless. 'The courageous und In
vincible spirit of tho people proved glori
ous nnd those who a little moro than a
third of u century ago were divided nt war
with each other were again united under
tho holy standard of liberty. Patriotism
banished party feeling, $50,000,000 for the
national defense was appropriated without
debate or division, asa matter of course,
and as only a moro Indication of our
mighty reserve power.
But If this is true of tho beginning of
tho war, what shall we say of It now, with
hostilities suspended and peace near at
hand, ns we fervently hope? Matchless In
its results! Unequaled In its complete
ness and the quick succession with which
victory followed victory 1 Attained enrller
than It wns believed to bo possible; so
comprehensive In Its sweep that every
thoughtful man feels tho responsibility
which has been so suddenly thrust upon us.
And above nil and beyotjd nil, the value of
the American army nnd the bravery of tho
American navy and the mnjesty of tho
American name stand forth in unsullied
glory, while the humanity of our purpose
and the mngnnnimlty of our conduct havo
given to war, always horrible, touches of
noble generosity. Christian sympathy and
charity and examples of human grandeur
which can never be lost to mankind. Pas
of a thousand. "For," Bays Dickens, when
telling us of tho supposed hostilities be
tween Mrs Gamp and Betsey Prig, at tho
tea table In Klngegate street, "for a quarrel
can bo taken up at any time, but a limited
quantity of pickled Balmon cannot be."
This was Prag's day for pickled salmon--or.
If I may maku so lamo a pun, pickled
"Slava! Slava!" One hear thnt exclama
tion of greeting and Joy hour by hour.
Will a blessed pickled Balmon "Aus
glelch" hae been" really begun by this
Incident? And will It last an era of pick
led salmon, peace, mutual concessions,
national brotherhood between Austria nnd
her wonderful old tormentor-ln-chlof ?
Or will the quarrel be taken up and over
In Vienna the Ink bottles nnd paper weights
soon again go flying about tho Parliament
house In stormy sessions and fierce per
sonal Indignation llko Mrs. Gamp's pippins
that fell in a wooden rain on the heads
of tho combatants? Is this visit of tho
uncrowned but titular king of Bohemia
to precede not only other visits of the em
peror and his Immediate family (for Prog
has formally requested that an archduke
bo "stationed In residence" In the capital!),
but the actual miracle of miracles, a coro
nation In Prag, and n "King of Bohemia"
In very truth? a Bohemian government,
for Itself? exactly as Hungary possesses
her crowned sovereign nnd autonomy, nnd
Its crowned sovereign and autonomy, and
has so smiled disdainfully at the folly of
an excessive and undiplomatic Moldavian
patriotism that has mado tts rival so un
fortunate. It would bo easy to answer these ques
tions in Austro-Hungarlan politics too en
thusiastically In the affirmative, on the one
hand. Many persons lately, carried away
by the spirit of the hour In Prag, have so
enswered them. On the other hand, the
kind of sneering skeptical reply that cer
tain bitterly partisan temperaments aro
making In a grumbling eotto voce Is equally
unwise and thick-sighted. The .highway to
tho coronation of the king of Bohemia, of
course, is not yet by any means made
Rtralght. Nobody need begin to cut roses
to strew In tho path of Franz-Josef to the
Cathedrnl or the Teyn church In Bohemia's
capital, and ths king of Knglnnd will bo
crowned before tho Hradschln Is decorated
for the anointed ruler of the Moldau land.
But 1 have yet to moet any person and
I have talked with many, Intelligent nnd
cautious In tho topic who denies that thero
Is every indication that the long lano of
cmblttorment botween Austria nnd Bo
homln has really a turning, that calms,
ltko storms, occur when no weather prophet
sees their advent. There Is much reason
to believe the chango has really come, tho
hour of pence tho peaca that Is a preface
to a definite accepted monarchlal unity. As
for reasons tho truce absolutely necessary.
The stress was at tho degree when yield
ing or breaking must come. In such hours
ns those lately told oft to Bohemia even
tho demagoguo fools that he has reached
the stopping place nay, has been a fool;
and the most dull-witted, arrogant aris
tocrat, suddenly out of nerves and treats,
can be mado to realize that he is an ass;
that, like Hamlet's famous ape, he will In
a moment or so "break his own neck
down" by a valor that Ib suicidal. Whether
the famous remarks last year by the em
peror, Intimating that ho would suspend
tho constitution an act Involving such
serious complications for the emplro that
It seems scarcely a pratlcable thought
has worked such n honey spell or not, Is a
doubtful suggestion. Certainly the Parlia
ment opened in n fashion not suggesting
much rispect for such nn Idea. But equally
certainly the Parliament Is as peaceful
now as a pan of new ruUk; the emperor
has visited Prag and German Bohemia, and
ho will go there again soon, nnd, what Is
more, into Czech Bohemia. The Czechs,
old or young, appear to have taken a leaf
out of tho polltlcul book of Hungary, nnd
to have realized that good children aro to
bb rewarded surely, and bad ones kept In a
corner and much good may It do them so
to feel. The other afternoon, In a Prater
farce here In Vienna, an actor asked, In
course of his part, "Not a Chinese? What
aro you then? Oh, a German Bohemian
a German Bohemian? Reully, are there any
nowadays?" with an effect on the audience
that was Immediate

One accent nlone of great Importance,
especially failed. In the general greetings
nnd Joy of nil In Prag the Catholic clerical
voice. Glacial, formal, behaving with per
fect dignity and unresponsiveness, wore
such churchmen as tho new Prince Cardinal
Skrbcnsky and hin associates, day by day,
festa by fettn. Pnrbons and rabbis wcro
open-hearted and outspoken. But though
the cassock and bcrettn were in all, not
once did they show a sign of really being
sympathetic to anything that was In pro
gress. Tho emperor's speeches (In perfect
tact and taste, like all Franz Josef's utter
ances In public) were often of a sort to
Invite a response or to meet some sort of
recognition from the religious rulers of
Prag; ho sent orders and gifts In discreet
nnd generous measure to such recipients as
deserved that sort of formal attention on
tho occasion. But there wns nn ominous
Catholic silence, and not one really Im
portant token of the good will of Catholic
Bohemia. Catholic Prag, to the king of Bo
hemia was mado manifest through nil the
program for the royal stay. Evidently
Cardinal Skrbcnsky, so new to his title (I
saw him receive it with- a fine proud hu
mility In Rome a few months ago, In overy
gesture and look the diplomatic and ele
gant priest of the aristocratic political
world), dor3 not purpose to commit himself
to any new things, nor to help Austro
Bohemian brethren to dwell together In
unity by his benedictions. In fact, he and
other of Prag's hierarchy have walked nbout
ns If they did not think such fraternity
particularly "good nnd pleasant," Whether
they will hinder It or help It we must wait
awhile and decide.
"King of Bohemia" la hardly n sweet
phrase for Hungarian nars. Nor Is It loved
elsewhere In tho emplro. But sometimes
ono thinks that Hungarians and Galiclans
and Bohemians do not look often enough at
what Is Inscribed on tho current coinage
of the great and complex dual-monarchy
really a triple, a quadruple or a scxtuplo
monarchy, bo curiously devolving on tho
mere duko of Austria. But one step for
one means other steps for all. If wo havo
a king of Hungary, and if there Is to be
boon a crowned king of Bohemia, with
whatever Is to come with that concession,
why, Just so must thero anon bo an oily
pacification of wrangling Gallcia nnd a core
nation In Lemborg. a crowned king of
Gallcia, as well as merely that sort of
monarch on a crown-pleco and In an alma
nac of politics. They aro talking of Just
thnt very possibility over In Gallcia this
week ns never before. The oxample of
Prag Is catching. However well we will
do to wnlt beforo buying tickets to an
Austro-Hungnrinn-Bohemlan-Oallclnn sort
of political Utopia, whero everything Is to
bo adjusted to everybody's good pleasure,
nnd all such trifles aB taxes, religions, lan
guages, boundaries, titles, surcosslons, nnd
so on, nro In lovely equipoise, one may
dream deep of the trip. And meantime ono
can remember thnt also on the coins of tho
fairest and most perplexed ruler In Europe
Is to be ready the hopeful, manly personal
motto of an emperor unspeakably dear to
tho mingled races ho rules "Vlrlbus

Since It is always profitable) "to see our
selves as others Bee us," sas tho Phila
delphia Record, it Is Interesting to read a
condensation of a review, translated from n
prominent Gcrmnn paper, of certain pub
lished observations and deductions by a
prominent German, Mr. A. Van Gulpcn,
founded upon his experiences nnd travels
In tho United States. Mr. Van Gulpcn was
one of tho most prominent delegates from
Germany to tho International Commercial
congress, held In Philadelphia last fall
under the auspices of tho Philadelphia
Commercial mutoums. Some of tho deduc
tions made nre deserving of closo attention,
as he traveled from Philadelphia to Cali
fornia and from the north to the south.
Tho review quoting tho nuthor says:
"That which really nstonlshes the Euro
pean In North America is the method of
work and tho energy expended upon It.
Upon this Is found the rapid growth of all
industries and of agriculture and In connec
tion with them tho extension of the cities
and tho Increase In population. Kor cen
turies the most energetic and nblo pcoplo
of all nations emigrated to the land of free
dom, while the less energetic remained at
home and doubtless the mingling ot that
clement in the different races had a favor
able Influence upon the population. Even
many of those who left tho older countries
for moral, pecuniary or political reasons
assisted tn bettering the raco In America,
whero room existed for many millions and
whero the surplus of energy which In
Europe was a detriment became an advan
tage. 'In AmcrlcR much more stress is laid
upon physical exerclss than in Germany.
In Germany no ono has n conception of
the passion and enthusiasm with which all
forms of sport nro carried on In America.
The writer first learned this fact when by
chance he attended a foot ball match be
tween the students of Ilerkoley and Stam
ford. Thousands of pcoplo docorntod with
the colors of tho contending parties oc
cupied tho enormous stands built especially
for tho purpose, and displayed an Interest
nnd an enthusiasm which to foreigners ap
peared incomprehensible. With yells nnd
cheers the players wcro received and en
couraged. In tho arena, however, It was
no play. It was a combat for the honor of
victory, whero even tho cndangorlng of
llfo was not shunned, and, Indeed, a sur
geon's aid was often needed. In earliest
youth one begins In America to strengthen
tho body In a way which, if Introduced In
Gormany, would, for both mind aud body,
be an excellent preliminary schooling for
military service.

"Alongside of tho different spsrts In
struction is cared for In tho moU gener
ous manner through elementary schools,
high schools and free public libraries with
beautiful reading rooms. Tho writer says
at Columbia colloge In Now York, near tha
Instruction nnd study halls, a wcll-eaulpped
gymnasium and a splendid, clear, Inviting
swimming pool. All In nil, tho American
pays moro attention to the cleanllncs of
tho body than docs the German. The
numerous free baths nnd washing basins
In tho hotels give rlso to tho Inference that
similar arrangements nnd corresponding
uso of them exist in prlvato houses. In
the railroad trains numerous towels with
soap nro always nt hand. German railway
management could learn much In America.
Even In German express trains thero Is
not that to be had for money and kind
words In the way of cleanliness whl'h In
America U everywhere customary und
gratis.
'Itesldo this custom which redounds to
tho common good Is the fact that tho grea'
extent of tho United Stntcs gives room for
productlvo growth. Many talents nrto crip
pled In Germany llko plants In pots, too
small because there Isn't room for thi. de
velopment of all. Everywhere In tho United
States ono finds tho same scalt of work
and the same manner of living. Wherever
ono goes, let It bo Now York, San I' ran-
clsco, Chicago or St. Louis, ono cats, drinks
and lives exactly tho fnmo way, Shoul 1
someone Invent somotblng practical In n
short time he Is n rich man, for his inven
tion finds accoptunco at onc thiougbout
tho entire country. In Germany, on tho
contrary, everything that milts North Ger
many does not suit South Germany and
many Inventors boforo they iichlovo mc-
cess become old and poor.
"Tho location op tho ocems, tho great
waterways In tho Interior of tho country,
th cheap freight ratC3 and tho extraor
dinarily developed net of street railways
aid tho striving to rlso nnd nrtlsi tin
healthy development of tho cltlc3 In Uo
highest degree. In some American U Irs
ono can rldo for seventy-five miles or the
amall sum of 5 cents, rho many centimes'
experience of huropo and enormous chean
strotches of land aro at tho dlepofiil of ths
Americans In laying out thulr nsika and

from tho beginning a capability for nulck
oxtenslon and a suitability for all kinds of
industries hitherto undreamed of. Soc'al

"For the American, rconey-mnklng Is the
principal thing. The American carries on
his business without rest nnd with a cer
tain lack of consideration for himself. He

"For the workman in Amcrlcn tho ar
rangement of the dnlly wage Is very favor
able. Wages aro higher than anywhere else,
nnd necessaries of life aro comparatively
cheaper, though houses nro dearer. While
tn Germany tho stnto Is compelled to enro
for tho aged nnd the Invalid. America
tcachea Its workmen tho 'help yourself
motto nnd encourages them to save In tlmo.
As offsetting our cheap wages of labor tho
American uses many labor-saving machines.
Tho enormous natural wealth of the land
adds to tho above-mentioned favorable con
ditions, which are aided further by splendid
governmental Institutions for the support
of Industry nnd agriculture. The Commer
cial Museum In Philadelphia is nn example
which might serve as a inodol for every
country In the world. Considering tho man
ner In which America fights against the In
troduction of foreign products, Germany
would be today entirely Justified to tax tho
products of tho American trusts with a dif
ferential tariff.
"Tho United States seeks to control all
America. They will eventually win for
themselves South and Central American ex
port markets. This should serve aB a warn
ing to Europe to seek In time tho same goal
and to fcrm n European 'r.ollvoroln,' tn
America a moro capable race Is at work
than the European. Europo need expert no
consideration Necessity will compel Europo
to taite tho steps later which today nro!
neglected. The United States Is a working '
giant In his youth. That is exemplified best J
by the recklessness with which It. nt-
tacked tho old gentleman, tho Spaniard, nnd!
the Joy which It has experienced over
tho easily secured victory Germany must
look nbout In tlmo for other avenues of
trndo for her Industries ns a substitute for'
the docllne of tho market In North America,
and must seek to cultivate a market Is tho
country Itself for export to North America,
for Gcrmnny Is on ho point of dying out.
For the present tho Americans cannot do
without Germany and Germany cannot do
wdthout the Americans. Tho arrangement
of commercial treaties Is a matter of mutual
Interest, but as on tho other side a pan
American union Is tho nlm, bo In Europe
should It be a 'zollvercln.' "

"Nearly cery city Is more or less famous
for ono or moro types of its women," said
a Washington globe trotter to a Washington
Star man, "and the cnpltnl must not bo ex
cluded from the list.
"In tho stores It Is rnro to see women
employes with grny hair or past mlddlo
ago. They nre mostly young girls. In tho
departments probably 3.", per cent of tho
female employes nco past mlddlo life, Hnd
25 per cent aro over SO years of ngo, Thero
are hundreds of women tn tho dcpnrtiuentu
over 70 years of age, earning from $900 to
$1,400 and $1,000 n year. In no other field
of labor nro positions paying such very
high salaries opened to bo, filled by women
of "0. grandmothers In fact.
"According to some Into figures compiled
by the United Stntcs civil nervlco commis
sion some extremely Interesting analyses,
comparisons nnd deductions may be drawn.
"Of these 8,000 salaried queens nearly ono
In every eight receives $1,000 u year, nnd
over, or, to bo exact, 903 drew salaries
ranging from $1,000 to $1,800 n year, threo
ladles tailing around the top notch of sal
aries paid by the government for clerk
hire, getting $1.S00 n year. In no other
employment for women on n salary aro
wiges from $10.21. to $34.61 n week paid to
oue out of eight of tho "wagecamcrs. Ot
thla special clnss 300 receive $1,000 a year.
450 receive $1,200. 100 recclvo $1,400, and
fifty recclvo $1,600 per nnnum. Tho remain
ing 7,000 draw from $C0 to $000 per an
num. In tho bureau of engraving and
printing, where Uncle Sam's money la
msde, there nre 1,260 female printers' as
sistants, who rocclvo $1.25 a day, who nr
not Included In tho nbovo estimate. In tho
ccntms office thero aro over 1,500 women,
most of whom draw $14,61 a week, or $75
n month, and tho aggregate total of our
queens rises, theroforo, to considerably
over 8,000 who earn ovor $2 a day, or moro
than a largo proportion of men In salaried
and WHgo-eavnlng pursuits. Nnturnlly, they
look cool and comfortable aa they rldo to
work every morning In tho open cars.
"During tho past seventeen years, 2,044
women hnvo cntorcd the servlco ot tho gov
ernment in Washington through tho means
of the competitive examinations of tho civil
service alone. In tho civil servlco thoro
nre no less than flfty-sovon different ex
aminations which nro open to women. Ono
thlrd of the entlro forcn of the government
In Washington is composed of women, nnd
thoy nro being nppolntcd through tho clas
sified service channels nt a proportion of
about one-sixth to tho total number of nil
clerks appointed by this means. In tho un
classified servlco this proportion I should
estimate nt not less than 25 per cent, nnd
perhaps nearer 40 per cent, aB In tho rural
mall delivery servlco, for Instance, the per
centage is not fnr from 80 per cent, If not
above thla figure,
"Tha percentage of woman appointments
through tho classified servlco varies In tho
different years, as it docs in tho unclasnl
fled positions. For Instanco, In tho first
the highest percentage was In 1808, when
It was 13 per cent of tho total.
