The shrub has been growing there for two or three years, and has attained a vigorous size. Last year it bore fruit for the first time. There is a noticeable falling off in the supply of pastors for Protestant churches in, both England and Ameri ca. There is also a prospect of a sim ilar deficiency In Germany, for while 10 years ago out of every 1,000 students who entered the German universities 206 were students of theologj, in 1893 the number was 150 for each 1,000, while thto year it to only 101. It to claimed that there are fewer gum chewers In Washington than in any other city of its sue in America. Any person who walks down a public street masticating a wad of gum lmme diately becomes the subject of remarks. On the other hand, it to asserted that more cigarettes are smoked each day in Washington than In any other city of equal population except those in the extreme southern part of the United States. Every year at Tunis a solemn re ligious service is held in memory of the early Christian martyrs, Vivia, Perpetua and Felicita. The ceremony was conducted this year a few weeks ago by Mgr. Combes, archbishop of Carthage. One of the most picturesque incidents in the celebration was the procession to the subterranean cham bers attached to the ancient arena of Carthage, the very place where. In the third century, the two martyrs were delivered to the wild beasts. The acquisition of new territory has stimulated American Interest in travel, both at home and abroad. Just now the ten-thousand mile trip of the pres idential party Is having an effect in the same direction, as wilt the several congressional parties which are mak ing preparations to go to the Philip pines. The steady current of Informa tion coming from all these outlying islands to quickening the enthusiasm of American travelers and making us to an extent 'familiar with the world." To render the familiarity an Influence for good everywhere should be our main concern. No stranger monument ever existed that that which was erected at the Ho tel da Vllle by the Inhabitants of Lune bwrg, la Hanover, in honor of a Pg This, which took the form of a kind of mausoleum, contained a large glass ma i which, was hermetically ln- ' rkiasfl a fine ham cut from the an! SAaL whoee memory was to be handed Aowm to posterity. Above was a tomb- atoas slab of black marble, on which, engraved la letters of gold, was the following inscription in Latin: "Passers-by contemplate here the mortal re mains of the pig which acquired for It self imperishable glory by the discov ery of the salt springs of Lnneburg." The discontented worries of a mo rose person may very likely shorten his days and the general justice of nature's arrangement provides that his early departure should entail no long regrets. On the other hand, the man who can laugh keeps his health. To the perfectly healthy laughter comes often. Too commonly, though, as childhood to left behind, the habit fails, and a half smile to the best that risits the thought-lined mouth of a modern man or woman. People be come more and more burdened with the accumulations of knowledge and with the weighing responsibilities of life, but they should still spare time to laugh. The sons of the German emperor are being brought up in a strict school. While the crown prince to being Initi ated into all the solemn rites and practices of student lite at Bonn his three younger brothers, Eltel Fritz, August Wilbelm, and Oscar, are hard at work at Pleon, where they are sub jected to a daily routine stricter even than that to which they are accus tomed at home. Every day they are np at J: , have their cold tubs, then their breakfast, and forthwith begin work.

RAILROADS CONTROL PRACTICALLY DIRECT LEGISLA TION IN EVERY STATE. Bales tha Faaaia Swaka w4 Dai laliteUva aaa BSafaraadam oa AH taws avast tha Baaaaw a at W1U Dtsappaaa, Six men control all the trunk rail roads of the country and unless un looked for disagreement arise compe tition to a thing of the pasL This wonderful combination or "community of Interests" as they now call It, has been formed with extraordinary rap idity and in addition to controlling the railroads they dominate what Is known as Wall street These six men also monopolise other lines of industry, iron, steel, tinplste, oil and anthracite coal and the accumulation of their vast wealth is being invested in other trusts and combinations. These six men are J. P. Morgan, A. J. Cassatt, W. K. Vanderbllt, James J. Hill and George J. Gould. Morgan controls the Southern rail way system, the Mobile and Ohio, the Northern Pacific, the Erie, the Phila delphia and Reading, the Jersey Cen tral, the Lehigh Valley and the Monon system. A. J. Cassatt controls the Pennsyl vania railway, the Baltimore and Ohio, the Western New York and Pennsyl vania and owns jointly, with the Van- derbilts the Chesapeake and Ohio, and the Norfolk and Western. . W. K. Vanderbllt controls the New York Central and allied lines, the Cleveland. Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis, the Lake Erie and Western and the Chicago and Northwestern. E. H. Harriman controls the Illi nois Central, the Union Pacific, the Southern Pacific, the Chicago and Al ton, the Kansas City Southern and the Chicago Terminal and Transfer. James J. Hill controls the Great Northern and Jointly with Morgan, the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy and large interests in the Northern Pacific and Erie. George J. Gould controls the Mis souri Pacific, the SL Louis Southwest ern, the Wabash, the International and Great Northern and the Texas Pacific. Associated with these railroad mag nates and owning large blocks of stock are William Rockefeller, Jacob it. Sckiff and others whose specialties are banking and trusts. What a vast political power these men can wield, u only by their con tributions to the political party they think will best serve their Interests. They are all acting with the Republi can party and their donations to the Hanna campaign funds at the last two national elections and the coercion of the large army of railroad and corpo ration employee, turned the scale in favor of the Republican party and at least la 18M defeated the honest ma jority of the American people. They control legislators and elect congressmen who do- their bidamg, there are but few counties in the United States that have not their paid attorneys at the county seat to watch their interests and manipulate caucuses and conventions of both parties or of which ever to the dominant one for the time being. They are so well served by the present administration that they hope to see it perpetuated and are willing to pay a high price to hare it so. McKlnley suits them well, they are paying the expenses of his trip through the country and furnish ing tb choicest foods and wines, not only for him, but for his cabinet and all the followers that make up the party. They are amply paid for this large outlay, for no appointment to of flee has been made by the president that was opposed by any of these rail road magnates and none ever will be, Not that they favor a third term, Han na would suit them just as well, may be better, or any other man of the same stamp. These six men, therefore, control the government of the United States. Is It any wonder that many are look ing for government ownership? THE SOVEREIGNTY Or THE PRESIDENT. The supreme court decision an the Porto Rico cases has made consider able flutter on the president's train, according to the correspondent of the Washington Post, who accompanies the party on the trip. He forecasts the action of the administration to meet the new conditions in the Phil ippines brought about by the decision as follows: The president will probably Issue an order applying solely to the Philip pines, imposing upon goods exported from these islands to the United States a rate of duty equal to the tariff Im posed by the Dlngley law upon the same articles entering the United States. This, it to believed, will close the door by a method certain to be sustained by the supreme court if a teat case should be brought before that tribunal for decision. foBM consideration was given to the question whether the president had the power, nader the Spooner act, to Im pose a doty la this country upon ar ticles Imported frost the Philippines. The gsaeral satatoa was that grave doubt extotsd as ta whether he pos sessed the power, sad It seemed to be accented that the export duty plan of fered the most feasible solution. The importaaea of speedy action was em phasised, la vOw of the tact that If the taattar la ktt asseWed aatll eon jvtaa steels sax raartiit, there will be very torgs Importations from Us rmntam without the payment of osty. la addHloa to this it waa re Mtai that the ex sorters of Cklsese tea, which pays It easts s sound doty, asd Chinese silks, which ara also sab. totted to s sigh tar!, would sead their goods to the Philippines, paying the slight duty there exacted, and then have them forwarded to the United States, where they could be entered without additional cosL Japanese and Oriental gooda of all descriptions could also enter the United States by the round-about but economical route. From this it will be seen that the triumphs of imperialism also haa Its trials and tribulations and the end to not yet FOREIGN COMPETITION. The reduction of the rite of inter est In the United States Is bringing about a great change In the induatrial conditions and Is removing one of the chief props of the protective tariff. Manufacturers are nearly always large borrowers, and the high rates of In terest that prevailed until the last few years, was one of the chief reasons why they could not compete with their foreign competitors. This barrier Is now removed and the charge that we are still unable to compete with for eigners Is well answered by the Chi cago Chronicle, which says: Somebody signing himself "A Lanca shire Cotton Spinner" writes from Highland Park to a Chicago contem porary to offer proof that English cot ton mills are far behind the pale of competition from the United States. Some twenty years ago the late James G. Blaine, when secretary of state, pre pared an official report showing that even then American mills could pro duce common cotton fabrics at less cost than English mills could, and that the only reason why Americans needed protection In this branch of manufae? ture was because their plants cost more and the rates of interest were higher in this country. Late'y we have heard a great deal about the abundance and cheapness of capital here, and our su periority In machinery, construction of plants, and so on. Then can it be true that as competitors we are relatively worse off than we were in 1881? True, our cotton manufacturers are still han dicapped by our tariff to a considerable extent. But tbey are less so than for merly because machinery costs less in spite of the tariff. If, then, we are less able to compete we must bave retro graded, relatively, In skill. POLITICAL COMMENT. When congress tackles the tariff question, the Porto Rlcan, Cuban and Philippine tariff will give the admin istration a good many sleepless nights. Funds are getting short in the Phil ippines and sundry expenses formerly borne by the insular treasury are now being paid by the treasury at Wash ington. This to to be expected, for extravagance and high salaries are running riot there. We shall either have to be taxed to keep the Philippine government going or the natives will hsve to be burdened with more taxes than they can bear. This to one of the results of imperialism. The meeting of railroad commis sioners at San Francisco shows the changed conditions between the rail roads and the public that haa taken place during the last twenty-five years. Since that time the supreme court of the United States baa decided that con gress, In the case of interstate rail roads and the states, has the power to regulate and control them. The law Is on the side of the people, but the railroads evade that by controlling the commissioners and congress. Where the railroads are charging too high rates the people are themselves to blame, they must select congressmen and commissioners who will attend to their interests. Looting from your enemies seems to 1 come within the Golden Rule of some of toe missionaries in China. "Now and then I branched out to loot from those who were our enemies," says Rev. Gilbert Reld. This "foreign devil" Is, according to his own show- Ing, worse than the Boxers, for tbey at least pretended to have a patriotic purpose In expelling or killing all for eigners who hsd Invaded their coun try and If any proportion of these for eigners were like Gilbert Reld, they certainly were fully justified In doing It is one of the strange political changes wrought as a result of the new policy of expansion that an ad ministration beaded by a statesman so prominently Identified with protection as was Mr. McKlnley should now be organists an effort to break down the tariff walla for the parsons of open ing new markets to Amerlcsn manu facturers and of building up depen dencies by opening our own markets to the products of the islands of the sea. It is a situation which Demo cratic tariff reformers are justified ta regarding with much satisfaction, sine It vindicates the principles tor which the Democracy battled for years. Buffalo Courier.

BULL PRO-BRITISH ADMINISTRATION IN SORE STRAITS. WmmU ta Malta Toot OM DMltelas Brtlala a laar la the Niearafaaa Caaal I Uaj Oallir af Traaaaa Ttj lag ta "CoavtaMT Senators. The United States Senate In the last congress refused to ratify the treaty known aa the Hay-Pauncefots treat; without some very radical amendments were added. This the British government refused to accede to and our pro-British administration was la a bole. President McKlnley was much disturbed by this action of the enate and used every means possible to bave the treaty ratified. Secretary Hay was much cast down, poor man, and waa said to be talking of resign In. He still hangs on, however, and has been putting in what time he could spare, when not writing poetry or on juukeslng tours. In trying to find out from such senators as he could Inter view Just bow much the administra tion would be allowed to concede to the Biritsh government and yet allow a new treaty to be ratified. Fortunate ly, more than one-third of the senate to composed of Democrats, and any treaty that hints at abrogation of the Monroe doctrine or that does not give lis full control of a canal that we are to build and pay for haa no chance of being ratified. Englishmen are beginning to see this and prompts the London Spectator to ' sincerely trust" that the Britlah government "will handle the problem with more care and attention than hitherto, and also with more shrewd ness and common sense." It asks Eng lish statesmen "to Inquire not whether we (they) have a right to stop the canal being made under the conditions on which alone congress will sanction Its construction, but whether it is worth our while to stop its construc tion, and, on the other band, whether it will not be very much to our advan tage to have the canal made. We want the whole subject approached as If the Clayton-Bulwer treaty did not exist, and decided on Its merits." That would suit the American people and the president and John Hay must stand to the rack and demand the rights that the United States are en titled to. When we were less than one-tenth as powerful as we are to day we obtained our rights in the Ore gon controversy under President Polk. But Polk was a Democrat WATERED STOCKS. One of the great evils of granting corporations franchises In nearly all the states is the lack of any provision to prevent an undue lsaue of stoek. commonly known as "watered stock." The issuing of a vast amount of stock for which no money or value to paid, Is to overreach or defraud some one, either those whom the stock is sold to, or to force the public as in the case of the railroads to pay extortionate rates, so that dividends can be paid on what is just so much paper. No state should allow any company to be in corporated that docs not receive full value for all the stock or bonds Issued, As the earnings of all corporations must come directly or indirectly from the public, they should be protected by the law from this Indirect way of making them pay double toll ou dou ble capitalization. The financing of the American loco motive combine furnishes a very good Illustration of the way these things are done, says the Chicago Chronicle. The stock issued is 125.000,000 7 per cent cumulative preferred and $25,000, 000 common. One share of the latter goes as a bonus with every share of the former subscribed for at $110 per share. Assuming $25,000,000 to be a fair capitalization on the basis of the earning power of the plants before consolidation, the other $25,000,000 must be regarded as what Is assumed to be the capitalized value of the mere combination over and above the origi nal value of the property. The origi nal owners get preferred stock to the full value of their property, with per cent dividends, and all they can get for their common stock to an equal amount above $10 a share to so mucn to the good. To judge from expres sions of which tbe air was full not long ago multitudes really believe that the mere act of combining properties was going to Increase their earning power from W to 100 per cent or even more. Probably It Is now seen that the foun datlons for such a belief were pretty fralL THE SUPREME COURT AND . PORTO RICO. To layman tbe decision of the su preme court In tbe Porto Rlcan esses to rather wobbly and presents some rather curious anomalies. Tbe consti tution does follow tbe flag and then again It does not stay with It Ths Island to territory of ths United States and yet ths people there have no free trade with ths country to which they belong. Then again they decide that vessels trading with the Island are ta ths coastwise trade of ths United States, sad yet when they ship say goods by those coastwise vessels they cannot toad them la aay of oar ports without paying a tariff duty oa the same. Yet the goods tbey shipped here prior to ths passage of ths Foraker act should sot have paid doty aad It must be refunded to those who paid It There Is osly oas clear matter aboat the decisions that congress has ths sols right to legislate as it pleases for thaw territories; otherwise, If Presl seat McKlatoy had htoaself wflttea ths stoeMoas, they soald sot hare ban a mors complete straddJs from ths view of sa ardlaary layman. No doubt ths lawyers will understand the exact stat us, In time. That ths court Itself wss not Tory etas about some of ths points st tosns can be seen by the remarks or one or the Instlees who taunts his brother judged with reversing themselves oa one of the nine cases. Justice Harlan, ons of four minority Judges, said: 'I retoct altocether the theory thai congress, la Ms discretion, can exclude the constitution from s territory whicn we have held to be a domestic terri tory of ths United States' acquired, and which could only have been ae- aulred in virtue of the constitution. 1 cannot agree that It is a domestic ter ritory of the United States for the pur- cose of oreventlns the application oi the Dlngley tariff act imposing duties upon Imports from foreign countries, but not a domestic territory and part of the United States for the purpose of enforcing tbe constitutional require ments that 'all duties. Imposts, and ex cises' imDosed bv congress "shall be uniform throughout the United SUtes.' I do not understand how Porto Kico can be a domestic territory of tbe United States, as we bave distinctly held In De Lima vs. BIdwell, and yet that It to not. as is now held, embraced by the words throughout the United States.' The 'expanding future of our country,' justifying the belief that the United States la to become what to called a 'world Dower' of which so much was heard at the argument does not justify any such juggling witn me words of the constitution as would au thorize the onurU to hold that the words 'throuzhout tbe United States.' in the taxing clause of tbe constitution, do not embrace a 'territory of the United SUtes.' This Is a distinction which I am unable to make, and which I do not tblnk ought to be made when we are endeavoring to ascertain tbe meaning of a great instrument of gov ernment" THE HANNA BOOM. Many people think the Hanna boom for president is nothing but newspa per talk and that tbe republican party would not dare to nominate him, as his record In favor of subsidies and trusts would make bis defeat certain. The facts are that Hanna and the corpora tions, the money power and the trusts, think they own the country and can nominate and elect whomsoever they may select They know they own tbe republican party and that with the enormous power they can bring to bear the electoral vote can be manipulated to their purpose. That thto program to being arranged is quite probable, for a dispatch to the Chicago Chronicle from Philadelphia says: The boom of Senator Hanna for pres ident In 1904 Is now well under way. The matter waa settled when Senator Hanna visited Philadelphia recently and bad a conference with Clement A. Griscom, president of tbe International Navigation company, and Senator Hen na's close personal friend. At tbe In terview it was formally decided to make public the boom of tbe senator from Ohio. According to a statement given out the senator will be in tbe race from start to finish, and If he falls It will not be because be did not fight every Inch of the way. Nearly every national committeeman has written a party Indorsement ot Hanna as the logical republican candi date and important officeholders have done likewise. The suggestion has also received a most flattering response from Senator Hanna's Influential ac quaintances among the business men of the north. Senator Hanna Is a great deal more than a possibility and preliminary ef forts in behalf of others have beea effectually halted without committing Senator Hanna to anything. He can now await events complacently and, unless further contingencies change tbe present aspects of tbe republican situation, he will have things bis own way three years hence. HAMMER AND ANVIL. ' The Porto Rlcans had a taste of the constitution for a few months until the Foraker law came along and took It away from tbem again with a 15 per cent tariff. But then tbey still have "the flag." The supreme court decides that the constitution did follow tbe flag for awhile In Porto Rico, and during that time no tariff duties could be collect ed, but congress had the rigbt to take It away from them again, and the flag still waves there.

Ho Othar CUgioa la tha World A bo a a da la Bach a Varlaly of Attraction. Tbe most wonderful scenery in the world Is In Yellowstone National Park, the great natural curiosity shop of the universe. Nowhere else, within equal bounds, are found so many natural wonders grouped, almost aa If by de sign, for the special conventvce of alght-seers. The wonders of the Alps and tbe Himalayas, could tbey be gath ered together and compressed Into an equal space, could not hope to rival In grandeur, In variety nor In number, the attractions of tbe Yellowstone. Were all the attractions except tho geysers removed, tho region would still be famed world wide, drawing nature lovers from all countries to witness the exhibitions of unequalled power of tbese matchless glanta, which, with a roar that may be beard long distances, spout huge columns of seething water high Into the air, sus taining them there for varying lengths of time. Old Faithful, with a regular ity that begot Its name, at Intervals of C5 to 75 minutes, sends up a huge col umn of water 150 feet into tbe air, re maining active for four minutes. Olant, with a deafenlrg roar, spouts 250 feet every third day for 90 minutes, wblie Giantess, at longer Intervals snd with slightly leas power, maintains activity for twelve hours at a stretch. Many others, at Intervals ranging from five minutes to several days, spout water to varying heights, remaining active for periods ranging from one second to an hour or more. In all, there ara thirty-three members of this Inter esting Geyser family ot sufficient importance to deserve special mention.
