In Chicago the other day a club war
formed for the purpoce of "urging the
usefulness of men past 15 years of age."
Il seems that In that city a man of 45
years or more has difficulty In securing
employment, because of his age. Oan It
be true that the Chi ago man becomes
"oM" at 15? Heretofore. In other com
munities. It has been the custom to re
gard a man of 45 as being in the prime of
life.
Again titers Is talk of removing the
wreck of the Maine from Havana harbor,
and Incidentally of determining from an
examination of her bottom as to how she
met her fate. Schemes for raising the
vessel have been perennial ever since she
went down, but she still lies In the mud
at the bottom of the harbor. Into which
she Is sinking deeper and deeper. The
chance* are that the secret of the fatal
explosion will never be known.
Father McGrath, of St. John's Cathollc

Mr. Debs claims that he will poll llt.WO

holds Ihe balance of power In that state.
The probabilities are that the most of
Debs’ votes will come from those who.

Democratic ticket. Since he Is very well
aware that he cannot he elected. It would
seem that Debs le doing what he can for

Miss Hollis Ermine Rives of Kentucky,
kinswoman of the lady who. before her
several marriages, was Amelia Rives, au
thor of "The Quick or the Dead," and la
row a Princess Hornet h i ng-or-Ot her. has
written a book that Is said to be a
"warmer" article, by several degrees, than
the story by the former Mtss Rives. The
new book. If some of Its critics are re
liable, will have to be bound In asbestos,
and when the reader lays It aside It will
have to be into a tub of cold water to
pievent the calling out of the fire de*
pertmtsil. All of which being true. It

it was fi|k t ti th t Great Britain's* an

will follow the J* el of Hu -
Thu* far then fore tin United Btatt
and GrctM Britain are on one fide and
Germany. Russia and J*i*2*n on the other.
Just why Great HrttMtn elded with th#
United Btate* t# not apparent. Her new*- i
paper* criticised quite severely tht ac- j
tlon of the PreM'Unt In refusing ’ ; •
prove the t; rnutn note. It will sv- p
within a few day* probably why Lord
Sail*bury derided to follow the lewd of the
United Slate*.
It l* certain that the President'* ccaire#
In <io’kiinK not to tap|irov# th* Q< roan
note i* very generally commended tn this
country. It l# pointed out that when we
*< nt troop* to China it was distinctly
stated that the purpose w#s to re* u* our
minister and the member* of our lega
tion who were besieged in Pekin. It was
stated that ti* noon at that wn ac< om
plbted our trooj** would le withdrawn.
Minister Conger and all the member* of
our Pekin Ideation are safe. The purport
for which we invaded China hit* been nr
compllahed. Why then should we not
withdraw? We have not declare*! war
against China, and we have no good
reaeon for keeping troop* on her soli. We
have In fact, done h great deal more than
we ee# out to do. We tiave M*nt troops
to various place* In the vicinity of Pekin
to aid native Christian* in escaping ffom
the Boxers. and. if report# ar*- correct, our
eoldicr* have done a great deal of looting.
All things considered we have done China*
alout all the Injury we have any excuse
for doing her, and all we ought to do her,
uni* ** we Intend to rob her of *om> of
her territory. Before doing that we ought
to put her on notice hy declaring war
against her. At present we are poking
as her friend.
There is a suspicion that tho German
note w*a* constructed with the view of
securing nn excuse for a w # nr on China,
and the taking of a part of her territory.
It Is hardly probable that the Chinese gov
ernment wuld or could give up the |.irtlc*
responsible for the Pektfl outrages against
international law If the Powers should
mnk'* the demand for their surrender,
and It does not appear that the Power*
have the right to make such a demand,
li t* certain that no government having
the ability to resist would respond favor
ably to a demand >f that kind. The po
sition of our government I*, that China
should drat be given the opportunity to
punish the guilty parties.
It Is worthy of notice that our govern
ment la collecting a large fleet on the
Asiatic station. It is apprehending
trouble In China notwithstanding its de
cision to withdraw from Chinese terri
tory?
TEt WSHtI’S t mKSTMKVrs.
Some twq month* ago we dl*cu**ed
steamship* a* an Investment for the ac
cumulating idle capital In this country,
and ventured the <ptr.lon that It would
not be surprising If the American bust
n ** men should solve the problem of
hull Hi g. owning and operating such shljw
profitably "before Congress gets through
talking about the plan for subsidizing
steamship line*."
Since that lime a Ttoston syndicate,
headed by a well known banking Arm.
has reached Ihe conclusion that the
American merchant marine offers oppor
tunities for earning fair Interest. It has,
therefore, determined to Invest ll.stD.ntM
In two ll.WMon frelgb't steamers, and
given the contract for their construction
to the Maryland Steel Company, of Spar
row Point, Md. The vessels are to be
constructed of steel and tilted with all
modem appliances for economically han
dling cargo. They will not be put on any
regular line, but are to be of the "tramp"
class of vessels—the class so potent In
British commerce—ready to touch at any
port where a cargo may be obtained or
to take a charter wherever a profitable
one I* offered The members of the syn
dicate hove no fear that the Investment
will prove unprolltahle. On the other
hand. they t are looking forward to the
construction of other similar ships.
The demand for freight room In deep
sea uteamers haa been quite strong for
the past twelve months. Indeed, the sup
ply has been far short of the demand,
owing to the withdrawal of so many
freight canters for army transport ser
vice. Meanwhile the export trade of the
Hulled Slates has been growing rapidly.
It is to day larger than ever before, with
the prospects good for a continued heavy
movement
In th * condition of affairs Ihe Boston
capitalists hate turned to tramp steamship
owning as in Investment, and a prom
ising soune of prollt. They have not
waited to s< e If It wen possible lo se
cure government aid for Ihrlr enterprise
before entering the business They will
enjoy government il protection In the
* casting trade, but they expect also to
compete for and secure whatever foreign
trade may offer a profit.
Discussing the placing of th order for
these two shirs the Manufacturers' lle
cord says: "For the first time since
American shipping Interests lit gan to dr
cline, as an accompaniment and o* a con
* quence of the war between the North
and the South, Investment In vessels as a
distinct financial undertaking by a prom
inent banking firm has been made." It Is
reasonable to suppose thal this departure
by the Boston capitalists will le followed
shortly by capitalists of oth*r cities. It
certainly will If. after the ships have been
put Into commission, they give good
promise of a fslr return upon the money
Invested In them.
Eighteen clergymen were nmoog the

It I# *ald that many German financier*
expressed great Indignation when they
found that their government had placed
a part of a recent loan In tho United
State*. They tli dared their ability to taka
all tho loan* their government had to of
f- r. It may tie that they could have taken
the bonds In question, but, for some rea
son or other not disclosed, the German
government decided to offer some of the
bonds In ibis country. Doubtless the rea
sons It had for doing so were eminently
satisfactory ones.
It has not been very long since England
was a borrower In our money market, but
there ta no evidence that British finan
cier* felt aggrieved They were only too
glad to gel some of our gold, which. It
I* sail, the Bank of England needed
badly.
But It Is not our Intention to call at
trntlon to thi* fact that European coun
tries are borrowing money of us. Inn rath
er to point out that an American finan
cier ha undertaken fo construct an un
derground railroad system for Igimlon It
would have naturally been supposed that
English engineers and English capitalists
Would have undertaken thl* great work
Somehow or other London I* rather alow
about *uch matter*, and so a Chicago
mow, Mr. Charles T. Yerke*. th* origina
tor and builder of Chicago's street rail
road system, went to London, secured the
franchise, raised the money and will build
the system Most of the money for the
enterprise will be raised In this country.
It Is said that London capitalist* really
feel badly about this matter. They had
no objection their government placing
bonds In this country, but they do object
decidedly to Americans coming to their
city and building their rapid transit street
railway systems It 1s evident that If they
do not show a greater spirit of enterprise
there will lie other great undertakings
financiered by American*—undertakings
that are really within the financial field
of tho English.
Senator Slew-art recently evinced a de
sire lo go back lo hls pockel borough of
Nevada to make political speeches for
the Republican luirty. But Ihe Republican
managers do not want Stewart lo get on
Ihe stump, hence the)' have been trying to
scare him out of hls proposed plans. They
have been reminding him that out In the
Rockies Ihe people sometimes have a way
of hanging those who selt them gold bricks
or otherwise practice fraud upon them.
They remind him that the Nevadans elect
ed him utMn the Issue of the "Crime
of '7V which he has now deserted, and
ask how he expects to Justify himself In
his present lnwltlon In view of hls re
cord on silver. These arguments. It I* al

so powerfully to the old man lhai II Is
probable that he will give up his contem

Misfortunes hsve fallen rapidly anl

—lt 1s gratifying to learn that Colonel
Plequart, who testified In favor of Drey
