TRUSTS AAD HOI.ITII*.
Since the election the opinion has
been expressed quite often 1n the pub
lic prints that it will be a difficult
matter to bring truirta under control,
to make them comply strictly with the
anti-trust lava for the reason that
they contribute so liberally to the cam
paign fund of the dominant party
Shat there is a willingness to deal
leniently with them.
No doubt there ts some truth in this
statement. A party that receives fav
ors from trusts cannot very well re
fuse favors to them. Asa matter of
fact, however, are the authorities dis
posed to treat trusts more kindly than
the voters are? Can opposition to
trusts ever be made a really strong
campaign issue?
This question is asked because of the
fact that the fight which the Demo
cratic party made against trusts in the
campaign this year had little or no
effect. There is no doubt that Judge
Parker made it as clear, as it was pos
sible to make anything that he was
the opponent of trusts, and that if
elected would use all of the power of
his office to make trusts comply with
the laws. The arguments against
trusts, however, seem to have made
no Impression whatever.
And isn’t there reason why they
didn’t? Isn’t K a fact that the trusts
securities are held by nearly all classes
of people? There is no doubt of course
that the rich own trust stocks and
bondß and there is every reason to
think the poor put their little savings
Into them. Not long ago the state
ment was made that there were over
forty thousand holders of the shares
of the steel trust. Assuming there are
that many In one trust how- many are
there in all of the trusts? It is known
there are many thousands in the sugar
trust and tens of thousands in the great
railroad combinations.
And then are not about all of the
wage earners employed by trusts and
great combinations of capital in sym
pathy with trusts and these combi
nations? Do not these wage earners
argue that they get better pay than
If the trusts and combinations were
broken up and there was very general
cut throat competition? If it be a fact
that they do, is it not a fair assump
tion that the owners of the shares and
bonds of the trusts and great combi
nations of capital and the employes
of the trusts and combinations com
prise pretty nearly, if not quite half
of the voters? If tt Is, what chance
Is there to elect a president pledged
to crush the trusts? And in this cal
culation no account is taken of the
money alleged to be spent by trust and
combinations of capital to control elec
tions In their own Interests.
The government is pressed to enforce
the laws against trusts because their
danger Is well understood, but the In
ference to be drawn from the result
of last week’s election Is that the peo
ple. while they are ready to talk against
trusts, are not so ready to vote against
them.
THE TALK OK PEACE).
There is talk of peace between Rus
sia and Japan by the neutral nations
because they see the time has come
for steps to be taken in the direc
tion of bringing the war to an end.
The Japanese, as soon as they have
taken Port Arthur, will be in posses
sion of about all for which they have
been contending. They will control
all of maritime Manchuria, and all the
country for a long distance Inland.
The surrender of Port Arthur oannot
be delayed much longer, and then,
probably, Japan will announce her
readiness to treat for pdace on the
basis that both parties to the war shall
evacuate Manohuria.
It Is not believed that Russia Will
respond favorably to such ‘an an
nouncement. She doubtless entertains
she opinion that having so much great
er resources than Japan she can "wear
her out,” as it were, and that even
tually she will Wave her way by sheer
force of numbers. In that opinion she
may be mistaken. The Japanese are
not lacking In staying powers. In
respect to their fighting qualities the
Russlnns are already satisfied
Is Russia placing dependence upon
her Baltic fleet? It hardly seems pos
sible. Port Arthur Is certain to fall
before that fleet can be of service to
It. Besides, after Admiral Togo had
paid hls respects to the fleet It would
not be in a condition probably to be
of much service <o Port Arthur, even
If that fortrese should be In need of
assistance from it.
Russfa doubtless trealir.es that It
would be the wise thing to do at this
time to let it be known that media
tion would be acceptable to her, but
her pride Is In the way. She refuses
to think of peace with such a loss of
prestige as she has suffered. She may
have to accept mediation under cir
cumstances more humiliating than
those which now exist.
Strongly as the neutral powers
think the time has come for steps In
the direction of peace, they will not of
fer to Intervene until they have as
surances that suoh an offer would be
acceptable. It looks as If there will
have to be more fighting before Russia
will be ready to talk peace.
It is not probable that anything will
come of the correspondence that Is be
ing conducted between Queen Alexan
dra and the Czar. In London the opin
ion Is expressed that It may open
the way for Intervention, but It Is
doubtful If much confidence is placed
In that opinion. Our government and
that of Great Britain are ready to
do what they osn to bring about
peace, but they think It would be a
mistake to offer their services until
they know they would be accepted.
HEUIIBT KUU (OCR It l~.l.l„
It Is worthy of notlcs that even
Republican papers are regretting that
the Senate will lose Senator Cockrell
of Missouri as one of the results of
the Roosevelt landslide of last Tues
day. He is highly regarded both by
members of ills own party and those
of the Republican party. There are
few as able and cousuleutious men In
Congress us he Is. In the recently
published memoirs of Senator Hour
the statement Is made that Mr. Cock
rell Is one of the ablest and wisest
men In the Senate, and this tribute to
SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 13. 1904.
him la accepted by his colleagues of
both parties.
Senator Cockrell is now 70 year* of
age. and at the end of his term next
March will have served full thirty
years in the Senate —five continuous
terms. There is only one other senator
who has served longer, namely. Sena
tor Allison, who Is in his sixth term.
Another distinguished Missourian,
Thomas H. Benton, served thirty years,
and rounded out his career by writing
his experiences in that body, a work
that is frequently consulted by public
men and is held in high reputa
Senator Cockrell Is one of the sen
ators who is always at hls post of
duty. There are many men In the
Senate who are more showy—that Is,
who attract more attention by their
oratory or their wealth, or their pe
culiar characteristics, but there Is no
one that commands greater respect or
who is more conscientious in the dis
charge of his duties.
If the people of Missouri had voted
directly for senatorial candidates they
would have re-elected Mr. Cockrell.
They have nothing against him. On
the contrary, they admire and respect
him, but they voted for members of
the Legislature and that body elects
senators. For one reason or other
they wanted a change In Its political
complexion. It Is because the Legis
lature is Republican that Mr. Cockrell
will not be given another term in the
Senate.
CI’PID AND THE COOK.
There is an old adage that says the
way to a man's heart is down hls
throat; which means that love Is often
pretty much a matter of stomach. Miss
Mary Hart of Illinois doubtless stands
ready to Indorse the adage. She is
reputed among her acquaintances to
be a remarkably pretty and vivacious
girl. She can do a cakewalk In fine
style, oan sing a rag-time song In a
manner that w-111 bring the applause
of the audience, and can read through
from cover to cover any novsl that
was ever written by Laura Jean Lib
bey or Mrs. Southworth. In addition
to this she can repeat, word for word,
many of the poems of Ella. Wheeler
Wilcox. Nominally, therefore, Mary
ought to make a most desirable wife
and her accomplishments ought to rec
ommend her to any young man In
search of a wife.
Mary’s beauty soma time ago at
tracted the attention of a young man
who for convenience may be called
John Smith. Since she was so comely
to look upon, John had a strong In
clination to make her Mrs. Smith. But,
being a hard-headed sort of fellow,
he desired to ascertain previous to the
closing of the contract Just how far
Mary’s accomplishments extended. He,
therefore, through clever manipulation,
arranged it so that he would be In
vited to eat a dinner of Mary's cook
ing. John will never forget that din
ner, and neither will Mary.
The soup was half done, watery and
decidedly unpalatable. John hoped
better of the fish. But he was disap
pointed. It was burned on one side
and raw on the other. Then he look
ed forward to the roast in eager an
ticipation of the redemption of the
other courses. But again disappoint
ment was his lot. He then pitched his
hopes en the aa lad, but that was, if
possible, worse than what had gone
before. And the dessert was the worst
of all. After the meal John was frank
enough, and brutal enough, to tell
Mary that he knew of 10-year-old girls
that w-ould take a handicap and beat
her a mile In cooking, and that he
guessed he wouldn't call any more.
Mary was indignant and threatened to
bring suit against John for breach of
promise. But better council prevailed.
Had John told the experience of hls
dinner to a Jury, there Is little doubt
of what the verdict would have been.
Mary, it is alleged, hes left off rag
time songs and Llbbey novels for the
time being, and is regularly attending
a cooking school.
SEW LEADERS.
Will one of the results of last Tues
day's election be new leaders for the
Democratic party? In some of the pa
pers the position is taken that Mr.
Bryan and those in sympathy with
him will again be entrusted with the
control of the party, while others
think that Joseph W. Folk of Mis
souri and 'William L. Douglas of Mas
sachusetts, on account of their re
markable success, will be prominently
mentioned in connection with the Dem
ocratie nomination for President in
1903.
There is no doubt that Mr. Folk
and Mr. Douglas havs won national
reputations. They are very able men.
Missouri Is a Democratic state, and
Mr. Folk’s election as its Governor
wouldn’t attract attention except for
the fact that the state was carried by
Mr. Kooscvelt. Indeed. Mr. Folk is
about the only Democrat on the state
ticket that was elected. His success
was wholly due to the record he made
os a prosecutor of corrupt officials In
St. Louis. The people had confidence
in him. and, therefore, elected him, al
though they refused to indorse other
Democrats on the state ticket.
The success of Mr. Douglas was due
almost wholly to his own efforts. Mas
sachusetts Is a strong Republican
state, and few. if any, expected he
would be elected. The large plurality
of nearly 87,000 which he received, not
withstanding the tact that Mr. Roose
velt carried the state by a plurality
more than 85,000, waa therefore, a great
eurprlse to both friends and opponenta
But if Mr. Folk and Mr. Douglas
ore considered presidential timber why
Isn't John A. Johnson also so consid
ered? He was elected Governor of
Minnesota on the Democratic ticket by
a plurality of 20,040, although the state
went Republican by fully 125,000. He
made a run that was more notable in
some respects than was that of either
Mr. Folk or Mr. Douglas.
If ths Democratic party Is hunting
for new leaders there is no reason why
Mr. Johnson shouldn't be taken into
consideration. Ho must be a man of
I strong personality and have done
| many things that brought credit to his
state, or he wouldn't havs boas so
| highly honored a* ha was.
1 Here ate three men who have shown
they understand the people, and that
the people have confidence In them.
No doubt either of them would make a
good race for the presidency.
Of the three Mr. Folk has the beat
chance because, on account of the St.
Louie boodle prosecutions, he Is pret
ty well known throughout the country.
If he shows himself to be as great in
dealing with the affairs of his state
as he did in prosecuting the tblevee
who were robbing the people of 9t.
Louis and Missouri, he may be asked
by hls party to acoept ths nomination
for President.
But whether any one of them le ask
ed to become the presidential candi
date of bis party there is no doubt
that all of them will occupy a much
higher place In the counsels of their
party than ever before.
Farmer Charles Nagle, of Nebraska,
has a most peculiar fear of the devil.
He Imagines that If the evil one should
ever discover him sitting down, that
w-ould be the last of Mr. Nagie's earth
ly existence, and he would find him
self being stewed in brimstone imme
diately. For this reason Nagle never
sits down. He takes his meals stand
ing, he never rides in any sort of
conveyance and falls prone across his
bed when he gets sleepy. It is said
that he has not sat down for more
than six years, and the other day chas
ed a neighbor with a pitchfork because
the neighbor wanted him to sit down.
The neighbors say Nagle is sane on
every other subject.
The President has seen fit to an
nounce to the country that John Hay
witl remain in the cabinet as Secre
tary of State after March 4, next. But
he would say nothing about the other
members of the cabinet. Ths coun
try at large will be pleased to hear
of Mr. Hay’s retention, but it would
like to know something of the others
at the same time. Is Mr. Shaw, who
thanked God for the high prices that
consumers have to pay for their food
and clothes and coal and plows and
sewing machines, going to be retained
in the official family?
Dr. Swallow, the Prohibitionist can
didate, lacked some 450 votes of carry
ing hls own precinct. But let him not
despair. After the conclusion of Mr.
Watson’s term as President he may
reasonably hope for the election.
PERSONAL.
—Queen Amalie of Portugal Is an
accomplished muse, holds a doctor's
diploma and personally takes part in
the management of certain hospitals,
and even in the nursing of special pa
tients. At her private expense she
maintains a hospital and dispensary
for the benefit of sick children of the
poor.
—The family of the Lord Bishop of
Carlisle, England, is noted as a clerical
family. The Bishop's father, now de
ceased, was Rev. James Bardsley. Hls
two brothers and seven sons were
clergymen and the ten were all living
and in orders at the same time. He
had also nine nephews who were
clergymen.
—The English bar still clings devot
edly to its robes. A solicitor who for
some reason was not prepared with his
professional costume asked permission
of a London Judge the other day to
appear without it, hut the judge de
clared that he oould give no such sanc
tion. However, to avoid delay, he re
sorted to a fine legal distinction: "I
do not give you permission, but if the
other professional gentlemen present
raise no objection I will consent to
hear you.” He was heard, and It may
be trusted that no sacred precedent
was damaged.
BRIGHT BITS.
—"Some people Insist on referring to
flats as 'apartments.' ’’
"It's wrong.” answered the discon

CEKKENT COMMENT.
The Washington Post (Ind.) says.
“What the South needs is a set of lead
ers who can lead—not a mere medium
for the communication of orders from
Wall street and Tammany Hall. Surely
the slock that iproduoed Toombs, Yan
cey, Stephens, Clay, Ben Hill, Lamar
and Hampton has not wholly vanished
from the earth.”
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: "Though defeated. Alton B. Par
ker comes out of the campaign pure
and unscathed In reputation and honor.
What Is more, so far from being dis
mayed or discouraged he loses not a
moment’s time In delivering an earnest
and Inspiring appeal to the Democracy
to renew the conflict with the tariff
fed trusts that are ‘absorbing the
wealth of the nation.’ Instead of sulk
ing In retirement he rejoices his sin
cere admirers by the promise to enter
political life more fully than ever be
fore His open letter ‘to the Democ
racy of the nation' will be cherished a*
words of wisdom until the time shall
come for redeeming them toy the united
the party.”
The New York World (Dem.) says:
"Secretary Taft is the first of the Re
publican leaders to kick the clouds
from under his feet and get back to
earth. ‘The danger In the <use of such
a victory,’ he says, ‘ls that It will lead
boa relaxing at the self-restraint that
is more certain to be exercised when
the danger of a political change Is
more probable.' We have seen no
symptoms of any great self-restraint
on the part of the Republican majori
ty for the last eight years, but the
danger which Secretary Taft warns his
I>arty against In nevertheless real. A*
a possible cundldale tor the Republi
can presidential nomination In 1908. the
Secretary Is naturally solicitous about
the sobriety of his party. He oan see
a hat political delirium tremens may
lend to. And *|>MiklC of aspirants for
the presidency, the World ventures to
remark that the Republican standard
ly ur in 1908 Is far more likely to be
William H Taft of Ohio than Klihu
Hoot of New York."
The Inspector Was About.
August Herrmann, the president of
ths national baseball commission, 1*
heartily opposed to child labor, says
the Boston Po6t.
"Child labor,” he said recently, “Is
an interesting subject to me. I like
to talk about it to manufacturers and
to factory inspectors. I get from these
men a good deal of valuable and
striking information.
“A factor inspector In the South told
me once a little episode about .child
labor that made me laugh. There was
also in this episode, however, food for
sober thought.
“The man said that he went one day
to examine a mill that was notorious
for its employment of children under
the legal age. Wind of his coming
somehow reached the mill ahead of
him, and the little fellows were stowed
away In various hiding places. Thus,
on hls inspection, he found a number
of idle children, but no children under
age.
"He went prowling about suspicious
ly, for he knew that he was being de
ceived. In the stockroom he noticed
a big packing case, and going over to
it he lifted up the lid. Inside sat a
little chap of 8 or 9 years.
"The inspector looked down at the
hoy. The boy looked up at him, and
frowned and shook his head.
“ ‘What are you doing In there?*
said the man.
“ 'Shut your mouth, you fool, and
put the lid down,” the boy whispered.
Don't you know the Inspector’s
about?’ ”
Who Saw It First.
Jim and Fred, brothers of six and
four years of age. were fond of argu
ments between themselves, says the
Chicago Record-Herald. They were
arguments that never went beyond the
wordy stage, but on occasion became
somewhat heated.
They were out one day with their
nurse when they happened to pass an
old house that was a landmark in the
neighborhood. Instantly the spirit of
dispute was aroused. Said Jim the
elder: “I saw that house first.”
Fred picked up the gage of battle
promptly and replied: "No, you didn't;
I saw it before you did.”
“No, you didn’t,” persisted Jim. "I
saw It before you were bom, ’cause
I’m older than you and passed by here
’fore you were born.”
This was convincing, even to Fred’s
Infantile mind, and for some time he
was silent. Then after a pause he an
nounced triumphantly: "I don’t care
if you are the oldest, I saw it before
you. , When I was dust I blew by this
house and saw it.”
Jim was silent.
Kentucky’s Powerful Parson.
Senator Joe Blackburn of Kentucky
tells of a good old Methodist minister
in hls state in the pioneer days who
was a considerable scrapper, says the
Washington Times.
“One day,” sags the Senator, “after
the parson had found it necessary to
administer fistic punishment to several
young toughs who persisted in disturb
ing the meeting at one of the
churches which he served, one of his
flock, noted as being something of a
hard hitter himself, got up in meet
ings and Eald:
“ Tt is a solemn duty of this here
congregation to stand by Parson John
son. He does not seek trouble, but he
will not show the white feather when
trouble is forced in hls way. I believe
that, unrestrained by divine grace,
Parson Johnson can whip any man In
Kentucky. The Lord is with him.
Let us pray.’ ’’
Story of Ganymede’s Birth.
A professor In a Western college,
says Llppincott’s, while giving an ex
amination in mythology In a country
school, called upon a bright looking
girl and asked the following question:
‘Who was Ganymede?”
Promptly came the answer: "Gany
mede was the son of Olympus and an
eagle.”
The class teacher blushed for her
pupil and exclaimed, "Why, Eliza
beth! Where did you learn that?”
“Indeed, It says so In the book,” re
plied the girl.
The professor then asked the girl to
find the place and read the paragraph
aloud, whereupon the class was both
astonished and delighted to learn that
Ganymede was borne to Olympus by
an eaxle.
Hls Literary Disease.
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes of
the Supreme Court of the United
States says that a certain prolific *u>
thor whose novels were anything but
popular once consulted the elder
Holmes.
“I am not at all in good health,"
said the author. “I have thought. Dr.
Holmes, that perhaps I write too much
for my constitution.”
“Not for your constitution, my dear
fellow,” gently replied the genial doc
tor, “but for your reputation.”
His Teacher’s Ignoranae.
“Well, Johnny," asked Mr. Mcßobln
son, "how do you like your new teach
er? Pretty smart, isn’t she?”
“Naw,” responded Johnny, sourly,
according to the Pittsburg Post, “she
ain’t.”
“How do you know.”
"She wuz tellin’ us to-day that Jef
fries wuz an English Judge.”
"Well, what's wrong with that?"
"Shucks,” said Johnny, in deep dis
gust. “I thought everybody knowed
that Jeffries wuz the American sham
peen pugilist of the world!” !
In Storage Again.
From the Chicago Tribune.
The storage man hopped oft hts van
and oped the warehouse door;
He stowed away one Bitter Fray, one

The Nation’s Hope he tied with rope
and bore within his arms
To where there loomed a mournful lot
of Viewing with Alarms;
A ohoice array pf Despot’s Sway and
Here We Take Our Stands
He wrapped In rolls of Noble Soul* and
Honest Horny Hands.
With Joyous grin he carried In The Pre
cepts We Pursue.
Ths Money Kings, and Grafting Rings,
and Common Peepul, too;
One Standing Firm, a But-One Term,
the Records of the Past.
And put them In the comer with Our
Flag's Nailed to the mast.
With hands ungloved he pushed end
shoved a gross of Campaign Lies,
Together with some point and pith
about Our Country's Size.
When he had stowed away the load he
shut the warehouse door
And mutternd "Whool I’m glad we’re
through with Nineteen Hundred
Four!
This Campaign stuff Is good enough, but
It Is getting worn—
I noticed that the Noil the Lie was tat
tered Mini, and torn;
Rut, anyhow, it’s over now, and they vs
been put away
Until, perplexed, we view the next ap
proaching voting day.”
TIPS A WAITER RECEIVED.
From Tit-Bit*.
Jacques of the Carlton Hotel, known
as "the best head waiter in Europe,”
invited me up to his room at the top
of the house, where h* unlocked a
heavy steel cabinet and displayed the
finest collection of “tips” probably in
the world.
"This is Just to show you that every
pour-boir we waiters receive is not in
hard cash,” he said.
There were Jewelled pins, cuff links
and shirt studs, gold and silver cigar
cigarette cases and match boxes; ivory
curios, a book or two and a lot of au
tographs.
“At the time of the late Queen’s
funeral, and again at the time of the
coronation of the King,” said Jacques,
“this hotel was packed with poten
tates and nobles from all over the
earth. If the total of tips given here
in those days had actually amounted
to 10 per cent, of what those folks
paid in restaurant bills we would all
be rich. Asa miiter of fact, the tips
scarcely average 5 per cent, of the res
taurant receipts at any tlme,,yet many
of my waiters make £2O or more a
week, and some of them possess more
available cash than some of the pa
trons whom they serve.
“That beautiful scar£pin was given
to me by the Alake of Abe-somethlng
or-other only a few weeks ago, and
these studs were given to me by the
German Minister of the Interior not
ten days ago. Then here’s a watch
charm given to rne years since by
Prince Henry of Prussia; ' that cigar
ette case was handed to me by a
Grand Duke of Russia after I bad
served a dinner for him of thirty cov
ers. Here are the autographs of Lord
Rosebery, Mr. Balfour and Mr. Cham
berlain. An American gentleman of
fered me a little fortune Just for the
autographs, and another American,
Mr. Carnegie, gave me this book on
“How to Succeed.”
“What do I prize most? This!” And
Jacques opened a wardrobe and took
out a dress coat. "I’d like,” he said,
to give that coat back to the one who
gave it to me. He was a young Eng
lish lord. He went broke in this ho
tel, and rather than go away without
tipping me he gave me this dress coat.
He had no money and had to leave
his luggage to cover his bill. He went
to America and made a name there.”
Jacques was now sharpening his pen
cil with a little golden pocket knife.
“That a tip. too?” I asked.
"Crown Prince of Sweden,” he re
plied, dropping the knife back in his
pocket, where there was a Jingle of
golden sovereigns that represent Che
backbone of the tipping system.
CAUSE OF THE WATERLOO.
From the Norfolk Landmark.
Several days before the election we
set aside, with fear and trembling,
the following editorial from the Rich
mond News Leader. We said to our
selves then that if the election should
go against Parker, we should know
the reason and be able to produce it.
Behold:
“The envious attention of the Char
lotte (N. C.) Observer and the Nor
folk Landmark is triumphantly direct
ed to this contribution to the poesy of
the pending political campaign:
” T WILL NOT HELP HIM ANY
MORE.
(Dedicated to Theodore Roosevelt.)
My love for him is fading fast.
Like a rose in the winter’s blast;
Ox gall in exchange for love
Is best to send the turtle dove!
I helped him in Booker Washington’s
case, N
Which, lawyers say, was out of place.
Made poems for him, and sent them
South;
He did not help me a dollar's worth.
I will not help you any more.
So I thought I would let you know.
I know you will tear this up,
And call me an old bull pup;
But, ah! I am a Confederate Vet.,
And now propose to let you sweat.
Haven’t I helped you like a man?
Oh, Just deny it if you can.
If I keep helping you—well, well, welll
I would starve, die and go to ,
I will not help you with my pen.
So here is the beginning and the end.
“ ’Andrew Jackson Andrews,
’’ ’The Poet of Virginian.’ ’’
There It is! That poem certainly
did the work. It produced the great
est landslide, all things considered, in
the chroncile of our politics. It defeat
ed Herrick in New York and Increased
the Republican plurality In Indiana by
100 per cent. It caused every other
doubtful state to turn towards Mr.
Roosevelt. The surest way to elect a
man to any office for which he Is
running is to persecute him. "Andrew
Jackson Andrews” didn’t know It was
loaded, perhaps, but it was. “The Poet
of Virginia” had better make himself
very inconspicuous for a while.
THINGS JAPANESE.
From the New York Sun.
Ten years ago Japan exported $660
worth of cotton crepe to the United
States, but now the figure Is $30,000
yearly. Japan's total export of crepe
Is worth $235,000 yearly.
Japanese silk has a fine future in
Mexico, if the Japanese exporters are
more scrupulous as to the quality of
the silks they send there.
Demand in China for Japanese can
vas shoes, fans, china and antimony
are Increasing since the present Far
East war began.
In August. 1904, Japan exported sl,-
600,000 worth of manufactured silk tis
sues, against $1,100,000 worth In Au
gust, 1903, an increas of $500,000. There
was also an increase of $70,000, in the
exportation of silk handkerchiefs. Ja
pan's total exports in August, 1904,
were of the value of $14,878,000, against
$15,547,000 in August, 1903. Such a
small decrease, $669,000, in time of war
is surprising. The falling off was in
raw silk exported. Tea figures for sl,-
000,000, raw silk for $4,500,000, cotton
yarns for $1,850,000, copper for $541,-
000.
Japan's imports in August, 1904.
amounted to sl4,22l,ooo,against $15,731,-
000 in August, 193, a decrease of only
$1,510,000. This is another surprising
result for war times. The decrease was
mainly In raw cotton. $1,900,000,
against $2,900,000, a falling off of sl,-
000,000. Sugar also decreased $850,000,
while wool Increased $850,000, and
keroßense oil $900,000. Rice figures for
$2,360,000 total import.
Japanese Formosa did an export
business of $300,000 and an Import bus
iness of $890,000 In August. 1904, leav
ing a balance of $420,000 In favor of
the island.
Japanese progress Is shown In the
fact that the receipt! from her state
forests for timber, firewood, bamboo
and other produce ross from $129,000
In 1880 to $1,304,000 In 1803, an Increase
of $1,076,000.
DECAY OF SIMLA.
From the Allahabad Pioneer.
A painful Impression is gaining
ground that Simla is not what it was.
Visitors are continually being heard
to ask. where are the flirtations, the
frisky gross widows, the steady bache
lors, th fluey scandals —where. In short.
Is the Joy of life that once made this
spot the mnet delectable In the Boat?
In those gny days bright eyes earned
more appointments than long service,
u bon inot was even a surer pass to
distinction tbsn a relative In the In
dia office. We, who rsmemlwr how ths
verb to frivol was specially Invented
for Minis, sigh as ws recall those salad
days.
All Humors
Are ixnpnr* matters which tbs skin
liver, kidneys and other organa caa
not take care of without help, then is
Rich an accumulation of them.
They litter the whole system.
Pimples, boils, eczema and other
eruptions, loss of appetite, that tired
feeling, bilious turns, fits of indiges
tion, dull headaches and many other
troubles are due to them.
Hood's Sarsaparilla
and Pills
Remove all humors, overcome all
their effects, strengthen, tone and
invigorate the whole system.
“I had salt rhenm on my hands so that I
eoold not work. I took Hood’s Sarsaparilla
and it drove out the humor. I continued
its use till the sores disappeared.” M
Isa O. Bxowx, Rumford Falls. Ma
Hood’s Sarsapariha promisee to
cure and keeps the promise.
