FrJontls of tbo two applicants for
statehood have started out on iv now
took and propoao to conplo on to the
Panama treaty. Itisfiomo Batlsfactirn
to ( ho people to Icnow thnt with the admission -
mission of those states to the union
there are few others that can bob tip to
interfere with the oonrso of important
legiplatiro matter.
President Roosevelt has intimated
that unless the treatioa before congress
aroratifled ho will smntnon the imtioiml
legislature in extraordinary session
after March . It is evident that Mr.
Roosevelt intends to bo president of
this country in more than name and
will assert that ho has a right than
r-ooDRrosa is bound to respect in certain
important matters.
It is announced that Germany in
tends to enforce the collection of debts
dao from Brazil and Colombia , and in
stead of modifying its policy toward
South American countries it will bo
moro aggressive in the f uturo than it
has boon in the past. The Gorman
government proposes that its trade ro >
jktlous with South America shall also
be Btjeugthonod even though it is neces
sary to bombard a few moro ports.
Since the emperor's government has
found the doors of the now world open
to- that sort of demonstration it is
probable that it will bo worked the
limit. It is evident that the plan is to
see how close they can come to the Mon
roe LOO trine without hitting it.
Managers of western railroads express
their belief that under the Elkins law
they will not bo permitted to giro passes
or any other privileges to shippers or
passengers. It is undoubtedly consid
ered that this statement will cause n
tremor to pass through the hearts of
those who have heretofore received
favors from the roads and may influence
them against the law. While this maybe
bo the result to certain shippers it is be-
heved thnt tbo abolishment of such
privileges will work to the benefit of
the people at large nnd they should
stand pat on the proposition in spite of
what the favored ones may believe. If
there ure no favors in the pass line it
may bo expected that there will be a
corresponding reduction of rates or other
arrangements that will benefit nil
equally and none will lose thereby.
The advice , "Patronize home indus
tries , " is good and sensible , but like n
good t-ermou it sounds best when it
comes from ouo who practices what ho
preuctus. It is impossible to under
Ftand how a person who depends al
most solely on the patronage of homo
people for bin prosperity can afford to
jeopardize his interests by sending
a 3rjad for that which ho uses , for the
purpose of having a few cents , when
fchoaM the facts become known , ho
would lose dollars from those have beei
contributing liberally to his fiuanciu
botteru.out. At the present time there
are five job printing establishments in
Norfolk , and yet it is a fact that n considerable
siderablo amount of this class of print
ing is regularly ordered from outside
offices. From the very nature of the
situation it must be conceded that there
in enough competition hero in the print
ing line to make the prices as low a
cdn be consistently done to harmonize
w th the prices charged printers fo
what they are obliged to buy to eat ant
wear. Outside printers can undercu
the prices of the town enough to make a
jibowing of cheapness , of course , be
cause it coats thdtu nothing to handle
the business they thus secure they payne
no rout on account of it , it costs them
no extia for insurance , taxes or inci
dental expanses. But priutiug is not
thp only nrtinlo that is ordered ontRido
of town which should to bought hero.
Clothing , dry goods , groceries , meat , in
fact nearly everything required in the
maintenance of ( a family la regularly
shipped In by freight and exprons all
because a.few cents can bo saved over
the price charged by the Norfolk dealer.
And the strangest part of the whole
transaction in that merchants themselves
are guilty of doing this very thing on
lines of goods they do uoc < handle. Yet
they expect the general public to pat
ronize them on the lines of goods they
sill 1 0jusUtouoy is a jewel. If the
practice continues it will not bo many
years before wo will not need any stores.
Then wo will all order our supplies from
Montgomery Ward and Sears-Robuck ,
save a fuw cents on oaoh article , and
loss in the deterioration of our property
dollars where wo save cents. Reform is
needed along this line rightuow in Nor-
oik , and that reform should bo inaug
urated by the dealers themselves.

coming forward ho lifted the lid of the

odd , " ho remarked , "but I cannot see
the fowl. Extraordinary ! No ono hns

been stolen. "
Well , the long and short of it is that
a week or two later 1 called again at
the studio , noticed a peculiar odor and
discovered the old fowl wrapped up In
a piece of brown paper. "Ah ! " said
Wills , "now I know how It all hap

When Women Cnrrcil.
In George I.'s reign it was the bounden -
en duty of the mistress ot a country
house to carve for her guests. Eti
quette demanded It of her , and no one
might relieve her of her arduous task ,
not even the master. To the latter was
only assigned the easy labor of passing
the bottle and looking on while each
joint was placed in turn before his wife
or daughter , us the case might be , and
by her rapidly manipulated. Carving
became one of the branches of a good
feminine education , and there were pro
fessional carving masters who taught
the young ladles.
I'idy Mary Wortley Montagu took
lessons in the art three times a week
and on her father's public days made a
practice of having her own dinner an
hour or two beforehand. A guest who
did not receive his portion from his
hostess' own fair hands would have
considered himself much aggrieved.

Wlnsters , administrator of New

government that James Josslck and

former California miner , had been
killed by Kwarumanu tribesmen.
Both wore killed with clubs. Settlers

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
That Contain Mercury
as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole- system when entering it
