Jacket."
The great prosperity of the
country is reflected in the gifts to
educational, religious and charit
able institutions in 1899. These
donations in the United States
amounted to $79,749,956, as com
pared with a total for 1898 of $23,-
984.900, $33,012,814 in 1897, and
about the same figure in 1896. —
Philadelphia ' 'Manufacturer.''
Not a single failure was recorded
last month in the manufacturers of
iron, cotton goods or hats. There
were only five failures among all
the earthenware, brick and glass
manufacturers; and in woolen and
leather manufactures they were
smaller than in any other year
except one. And still the Demo
crats are not happy.
It is recorded that a farmer in
Fulton county, Ohio, recently sold
125 head of sheep for SBOO, being
an average of $0.40 per head. The
farmers there say that under the
Wilson free-trade period that
number of sheep would not have
brought to exceed $125, and that
the owner would have had to look
around a long while for a pur
chaser at any price.
There is an old saying that "you
can't eat your cake and have it.''
The case of the loan of $25,000,000
to Russia just made by New York
ers comes pretty near upsetting
that theory. The money, although
loaned to Russia, is to be expended
in the United States .for the pur
chase of the products of American
labor, and thus labor as well as
capital will profit anew by this
cumulative prosperity which loans
the money abroad and yet spends
it among the workinginen at home.
And yet there are a few left who
will tell you that this is merely
"fictitious prosperity."

WASHINGTON LETTER.
[From our Regular Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, March 12, 1900.
Republican Senators are showing a
disposition to get together on the Porto
Rican bill. While it cannot yet be
stated to a certainty what changes will
be made, it seems likely that the bill
will be amended so as to provide for
the free entry of all American goods in
Puerto Rico.
The action of the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations in amending the
Nicaragua ('anal treaty so as to reserve
to the U. S. authority to defend the
Canal in any way it may see lit in time
of war seems to meet with general ap
proval. There is no reason to suppose
that the amendment will be objected
to by England. In fact, it cannot very
well be objected to since the amend
ment is in almost the exact language
of a clause in the treaty under which
the Suez Canal was constructed.
Representative Hepburn, of lowa,
has introduced a short bill that would,
if enacted into a law, put an end to
prize fighting in this country. It pro
vides that no picture or description of
any prize fight or pugilistic encounter,
or any proposal for betting on a fight,
shall be transmitted through the mail
or by any common carrier engaged in
interstate commerce, whether in a
newspaper or periodical, or in any
other form. Without publicity, prize
fighting could not be made to pay, and
the money made out of it is the only
reason for its existence.
Senator Lodge thinks the officer
commanding our army should have a
higher rank than any other offlcar, and
has introduced a joint resolution giving
to the senior Major General, while
commanding the army, the rank, pay
and emoluments of Lieut. General.
Representative Moody, of Mass., of
fered the resolution in the House.
Representative Brosius, of Penna.,
who haß earned a reputation for level
headedness, voiced the opinions of
many Republicans when he said:
"There is a difference between a phil
ospher and a statesman. A statesman
must keep his feet on the ground while
a philosopher may be permitted to do
more or less theorizing. Therefore I
regret this tendency to yell out against
the Republican party ac this time, par-
I ticularly on the part of some very
prominent Republicans. I firmly be
lieve that the Republican party is able
to meet successfully any problem that
confronts it, and we ought to be willing
to wait with patience for the solution
of the great problems attending the
possession of our new islands."
Col. George Bohn, of Ky., who is
credited with knowing the politics of
' his state, said to a group of friends in a
| Washington hotel: "Unless the Goebel
law is repealed, Kentucky will go Re
publican as sure as candidates for the
I office of President are nominated, and
! the state will go Republican so hard
that it will never get back into the
Domocratic ranks."
An object lesson on the credit of
nations was furnished by the action of
i the British Government in offering
! English Consols, bearing 2 ; per cent.
interest, to American investors—the
. first time such an offer was ever made—
at 98 J of their face value, and by the
| Finance Bill, devised by Republicans,
I which will this week become a law.
This bill provides for refunding the
entire bonded indebtedness of the U.
S. into 2 per cent bonds, lower than
any nation has ever floated bonds, and
assurances have already been received
that the new bonds will bo gladly
taken at par by the holders of the old
ones. That is the sort of statesman
ship the Republicans givo this nation.
They were nob satisfied that our credit
should be as good as that of any other
nation, hut have made it better than
that of the best.
The passage by the German Reichs
tag, of the bill aimed at American
meat products, has not produced a
pleasant feeling in Washington, but
neither in Congress nor in Adminis
i tration circles is there any disposion to
publicly criticise the matter in its pres
ent stage. It is easy to infer, however,
from those who are in position to make
good their words, that if Germany de
liberately invites a commercial conflict
with us, she will be mado to deeply re
gret having done so.
Senator Klkins has put a stop to the
talk of his being a candidate for Vice
President, by saying that he does not
wish the office and that he does wish to
remain in the Senate. He also ex
pressed the opinion that President Mc
kinley should bo allowed to choose the
i candidate for Vice President.
The Senate declined to accept Sena
tor Hoar's proposal to pension the ex
| Queen of Hawaii.
We, the undersigned, do hereby
agree to refund the money on two
25 cent bottles or boxes of Baxter's
Mandrake Bitters, if it fails to cure
constipation, biliousness, sick head
ache, jaundice, loss of appetite, sour
stomach, dyspepsia, liver complaint, or
any of the diseases for which it is re
commeded. It is highly recommended
as a tonic and blood purifier. Sold
liquid in bottles, and tablets in boxes.
Price 25 cents for either. One pack
age of either guaranteed to give satis
faction or money refunded. L. Tag

place the mill will resume operations
under the superintendence of Mr. Smith,
who, while modest and unassuming, is a
most energetic business man. The slock
ing and tawing of some six million feet
of lumber now standing on the W. & M.

There are several parties talking of
locating a portable saw and shingle mill
near the mouth of Norcross Run. It
