Contrasts.
UPON Jumps Jennings, who
bmtally nttacked Hurry Mc
Laughltn, of Dunmoro, for
daring to ride to a Pine
Urook dance in n. street cur last Christ
mas eve, and who, If the jury's verdict
is to be believed, also committed per
jury on tho witness stand, a fine of $23
and costs is imposed.
T'pon Casslmlre Chikiewicz, a young
Polish woman of Priceburg, who had
the bad luck to be provoked by her
tlhter Into a squabblo in which she
struck an unlawful but not nil un
natural blow, a fine of $50 and costs is
imposed, in spite of the jury's urgent
lecommendation of mercy.
In the ease of Jennings there wore no
extenuating circumstances whatever.
His was an act of wanton lawlessness
which would have shamed a Hottentot.
In the case of the Polish woman, it Is
doubtful if guilt uns moro than nomi
nal. She, at all events, had provoca
tion. Judge Edwards, who pronounced the
first sentence, inclined toward mercy.
Judge AVcand, of Montgomeiy county,
who pronounced the other, inclined
away from ihpi-pv. Tf llinm tu tn v ;..
clination either way, that toward mercy
is best.
This is the fiist time Evan Morris has
'un for ofllce. Give him a show.
Creeping Along.
T IS announced in correspondence
from Washington that the writ
ton pledges for attendance at to
night's caucus of a majority of
the Republican member s of the house
nave been secured' by Judge Crum
packer and those who are with him
in tho effort to investigate the abridge
ment of faiiltrage with a view to tho
reapportionment of repiesentatlon.
An acceptable basis of action lias
been found, it is said, in a proposition
to clothe a special committee of eleven
meinbeis with power to subpoena and
examine witnesses under oath and to
'bend for icconls and other evidence
fco that it may finally report what, it
any, pioportlon the number of male
citizens 21 yeais of age, in any state,
to whom said state denies or abridges
the light to vote, bears to tho total
number of mule inhabitants of that
state of voting age. Once there is a
definite report on this subject before
congicss, it will be difficult If not im
possible to further ignore the constitu
tional mandate concerning repiesenta
tlon. The Idea that If left alone the dis
fianclihilng movement In tho south will
run its course without ultimate harm
to the men disfranchised and give a
peaceful vent to piejudlces and pas
hlous otherwise liable to flare up into
violence has many supporteis at Wash
ington, and If Judge Ciumpacker shall
even get so much ns a fair investlga
ton he will be entitled to congratula
tion. Nevertheless nothing is settled
in this country until it is settled right;
and on that principle those Repub
licans who are in favor of temporiz
ing with the constitution nnd with what
they know to be a measure of simple
justice might just as well face the
question one time ns another. It is one
of these problems which have got to
bo solved. , ,
i I.. !
If to do;woro as easy as to talk,
Democratic) statesmanship would un
doubtedly bo the finest In the world.
His Usefulness Gone.
-m POSITION of Loid
Puuncefotp, the British min
ister to this country, Is not
r
I
at present an enviable one.
The revelations which have been forced
by tho German government as to his
attltudo toward the United States In
the spring of 1803, dining tho unsuc
cessful attempts of the friends of Spain
to t'prqjir, intervention In Cuba, put
hlm"$taH' embarrassing if not Intoler
able position.
It has been much paraded In tho Eng
lish and American press and believed
that of all the foreign representatives
Btutjonedjit Washington before our re
cent 'war Lord Pauucefote was espe
dall, Wjd 'peculiarly our friend. Time
and .'again wo have been told how It
wus'hls friendship for tho Ameilcan
people which caused hltn to notify
President McKlnley, In advance, or the
intended visit of the representatives of
the six great powers of Europe who,
on April 7, presented a collective note
expressing the hope that hostilities
might be averted. It has been said so
many times without denial that It had
conio to be believed that but for the
British minister's attltudo in this mat
ter our government would have been
catlght unawares and possibly embar
hissed, ills kindness, so tho general
belief has run, saved us fiom aiinoy
nnco and enabled President McKlnley
Very neatly to turn the tables on tho
august ambassadors of the restless Sov
ereigns. The revelations of tho past few days
have brushed away this pleasing con
celt and established very plainly thnt
Sir Julian Paunccfotp litis been lecelv
liiff at tho hands of tho American pco
plo moro' consideration than his con
duct at that time deserved. It Is now
shown nnd admitted by tho British
foreign office that Sir Julian, not satis
fied with the reply made by President
McKlnley to the ninbassndors when
they called on hlni for tho inn pose ot
Intimating t)iii,tho had better go slow,
tool: the lead In an attempt to draw up
it second note, more pointed than the
first, virtually warning us thnt a. hand
laid on Spain would bo laid nt the peril
of a hostile coalition of European pow
ers. Nor is it possible longer to excuse
his conduct In this matter on tho as
sumption that he acted merely In his
conventional capacity ns dean of the
Washington diplomatic corps, for so
good nu authority as George W. Smal
loy, Washington correspondent of tho
London Times, writes to his paper,
confessedly on authority, that Sir
Julian believed wo had no ground for
war, that the judgment of civilization
would not endorse a war and that the
United Stales ought to forego the
thought of war. In other words, this
kind nnd gracious friend pioposed to
do our thinking and our acting for us.
Ho regarded us Incapable of self-government.
Tho facts here stated are nowhere
denied. Lord Pauncefote's silence with
reference to them, especially after tho
British foreign office has had to go to
public pains to disavow what he did
and to say that ho intermeddled on his
own initiative, can have no other in
terpretation than that there Is nothing
for him to say. It is doubtful if his
further continuance in this country can
work to any good end. Theie aie rorae
things which Americans may oveilook
and yet not forgive; and ns wo rend
the story of his singular conduct four
years ago It must be counted among
them.
Central city Republicans should
show by their Voles tomorrow that the
Democratic theory that they aie shirk
ers M all wrong.
III the Right Direction.
N ADO has been caused among
organizers of speculative Jer
sey corporations by the intio-
duction at Trenton lecentlyof
an amendment to the corporation act
providing for gi enter publicity of cor
poration affairs. The measure Is worthy
of examination.
It piovldes that "every corporation
organized under this act, and tho dii ec
tors and manageis thereof, shall cause
to be kept proper books of account in
which shall be kept full, true and com
plete accounts of the affairs and trans
actions of the company; and shall onco
at least in each year, and at intervals
of not more than twelve months, cause
the accounts of the company to be bal
anced and a shaieholdeis' balance sheet
to be prepared; and shall cause a copy
of such shareholders' balance sheet to
be laid before the stockholders at the
annual meeting, and a copy to be de
posited at the registered office of the
company for 'the inspection of the
stockholders in person during a period
of at least seven days before the meet
ing." The shaieholders' balance sheet
must contain (1) tho amount of the
capital Issued and the amount paid up
thereon, distinguishing the amount paid
up in money from the amount paid up
otherwise than in money; (2) tho
amount of debts due by the company,
distinguishing the amount of mort
gages and Hen charges upon the gen
eral assets of the company; (3) the
actual amount of suiplus, if any, and
the nature and mode In which it is in
vested; and (1) the amount by which
tho gioss value of the assets of the
company has been Jnci eased since tho
last balance sheet In consequence of
any increase In the valuations of real
or personal property belonging to the
company.
What gives significance to this
amendment, apart fiom its obvious
justice, is that it Is introduced into the
Jersey leglslatuie by tho assemblyman
who last year came to be known as on
especially friendly terms with the Unit
ed States Steel corporation, indeed, it
Is freely said In New York financial
circles that that great corporation Is
behind tho amendment, and that Its
purpose Is to exclude fiom tho benefits
of Incorporation as far as possible en
terprises of a doubtful character, In
order that tho reproach now resting
upon corporation methods In the minds
of many people, who do not discrimin
ate between the numctoua corporations
which are honestly minngcd and the
comparatively few which uro manipu
lated by sharpers, may bo lifted. What
gives color to this theory is tho fact
that the form of bookkeeping iccom
mended in the amendment Is precisely
tho form already employed by tho
United Stntos Steel corporation in ad
vance of any requirement of law.
Any step In the direction of Increased
secuilty for tho small investor in in
dustrial securities, or, wo might better
say, In tho diicction of common hon
esty; and fair dealing, deseives cordial
welcome. If tho United States Steel
corpoiatlon Is bent on making Jersey
corporations respectable it Is entitled
to civilization's help.
Andrew Carnegie is a better philan
thropist than statesman. lie says this
country doesn't need a navy, It needs
one ns much as New York city needs
III emeu and policemen. If they were
lacking, would Andrew live there?
Secretary Root's bill providing for a
general staff, stipulates that General
Miles, while In active service, shall bo
at the staff's head, Thus Is another
cruel war averted.
One of the new York critics com
plains of Paderewskl's opera that it Is
not like Wagner's. Maybe that Is why
It will bo popular.

A
AMERICANIZING MEXICO
BY WALTER I 'BALLARD
INASMUCH as the profpcrlly of our Bister re
public, Jlctlcn, makes her n more desirable
neighbor, It Is of Inteiest to noto it few
fids from the vaturble annual report ol
Consul (leneral llrrlow, of Mexico Cllv.
Since the mhrnt of peace nnd pro'pcrlty
under I'icsldcnt Mar, a new ritilt.il has been
Atoning up, which bids fair to be, ere the close
of tho present century, one of the wealthiest,
stateliest, and most beaulltnt cities of the Ameri
cas. Ilioad aphalted avenue, paved laipjoly by
American companies, and beautiful macidam
drhes, rolled by Anierlcm steam sticot rollers,
ami undo of stone (.rushed by American iindiln.
ciy, a gnat canal to tarry oil tho sewage ami
rainfalls, hue been Unlslictl In n jcar. A sewer
age sjstcm for tho entire city will bo completed
this j car. l'arhs and plants (public squares) are
being Improved.
Tho city Is ono ot the best electric lighted In
the world. Oyer llfly miles of electric street
railroad havo been built and opened in two
yearn, nnd fifty miles moro will bo built this year.
All the material and apparatus came from tho
United States, except tho boilers In the power
homo. American mado automobile's and liorw
carriages arc liumerqus. Modern business blocKs,
built on tho American plan, nnd public buildings
Willi .Mneiiclti louvcnlcnces, nra being crrctcd.
American apartment homes nro piovluir tplondld
investments. Modern Ameilcan liouse conveni
ences are rapidly being introduced into Mexican
houses.
In the past jc.ir, $10,000,000, Mclean, was ap
propriated by the federal and mutilclpil govern
ments for illy improvements. A national thea
ter, n new pilice ot Justice, and line buildings
for tho geological department, are being con
structed. Tho cllmilc of the city of Mexico is
piobably the ph'aiaittest and healthiest of any
clly in tho world. Tor tvv cnty-flv o jcais tho
mean temperature his been M-70 degrees 1'.
Though warm some dajtf, it is alwajs cool at
night.
'J he population of the clly Is 400,000, and the
tlty is far moio compictly built and densely
populated than any city In the United
btates. Of the foreign colonics tho Span
ish is tho laigcst about 10,000. Nc.t fol
lows the American, 4,000; Trench, 0,000; ling
Hlr, 1,500; (ieinian, ,(XX), and Italian, -100. Tho
total number of Anur leans in tho republic is
about 10,000, end IncreiMng rapidly. American
cipitil Is being largely Invested all over the lc
publlc. The influence of American customs is
beginning; to bo felt.
1'ioprily and life arc as safe as in the United
States. Foreigners get full justice and perron rl
liberty is closely grinded. If nathe products arc
used tho cost of living is about tho same as in
tho United States hut impoitrd products cost CO
to 100 per cent. more. The sinic old "tenant
problem" prevails as Mexican servant are al
mo'sL worthless. Itoil estalo is very high cot
of building much higher than our own, both for
material and for labor, judging by tho work
done. An American bricklayer will lay .1,000
bileks a day, to a Movicin's 200. One American
nnson .it V5 a diy will do as much work as
twenly Mexicans at ?1.23 each. Tho adoption of
American clothing Ins been vciy marked of re
cent jears. Well-to do Melciri3 aie discarding
tho rntivo dress. Wages nie about the Biny, in
gold, as in the United States, while the comforts
are not as many.
'J he City of Mexico is to be for the republic of

While bolid coluirfn of figures aro not perhaps

publication above mentioned, the StatUtic.il Ab

ly picturesque facts. It is intciesting, for an
btance, lo observe by ono of its cailiest pages
that the gioss nic.i of the United Stated, ex-(liu-ive
of Alaska and Hawaii, has grown fiom
S27.S41 square miles in 1S0O to 3,0i3,C00 in 1000;

an I Ohio from eighteenth place in 1S00 to fourth

Another pigo which presents nn interesting
picture is tint devoted to the analvsls, of the
P'. initial debt of tho United States. It shows
tint the debt of tho United States, which in
1803 was 5.7S.23 per capita, was in 1001 $13.43
per capila, and that the interest cbirge, which
in 1EG3 was 81.29 per capita, was in 1001 33

OUTLINE STUDIES
OF
What She Was Most Curious About.
Maigirct spent ono sinner abroad, visiting
many Iluropem tltiis, and going with her fatli1 r
and mother to see things which made tho Old
Woild famous. Whit most impreoed her weni
the tombs of the celebrated people; kings nnd
queens, princes and pilnccsscs, lords and ladies,
sohllcis and priests and tho stiongo thing about
these dcid and burled heioes arid lieiolnes was
tint almost every ono ot them bail met a vlolout
end, Margaict was afraid tu nsk how the-y died,
for tear of hearing that it was a case of poison
ing or stabbing or hanglin;, or a sword thrust, or
a pistol shot, or drowning, or being binned at tho
stake, In I'aiis, of couise, most of the dead
pcoplo bad been beheaded, and Maigaret's little
curly, llaxeu locks would ilso in horror at the
thought ot it.
One day tho was taken to visit Nrpoleon's
tomb, and the gieat soldier's lrst resting placu
plunged her in deep and serious thought.
"Was ho a nice nun, papil" she asked, com.
Ing out of a brown study.
"Yes-tint is well on the whole, he wasn't
60 very bad."
"And ho did Jot-didn't he?"
"Of course he led uiiuies and was mule con
sul of Trance, and finally emperor, but Waterloo
finished him, and then"
"Did he die!"
"Afterward-but first the- sent hlur to St,
Helena,"
"What I mean was. Did lie die plain, papa?

How Ghambeilain Met Miss Endlcott,
When Joseph Chamberlain camo over to tl.o
United States ono of tho objects of bU visit wai
to find out what kind of u girl Mies Mary Endl.
cott (lilj present wife) was. lit son, Austin
Cliambtrlaln, had met her in Uiuope, fell very
much in love with her, and asked Ids falhu'a
consent to address her, Tho old gentleman was
somewhat chary of Ameilcan wives for Ihiglisli
gentlemen.
tlcforo elih'g his (onsent hu concluded to meet
the lady in person and investigate herself and
family. A night or two alter his urrival irr this
country there was a ball at the lliltUi Embassy.
Mr. Kudicott, their Mr. Cleveland's secretary ol
war, and his daughter wero uinon' the giintts.
Mr. CJumbcrllin jurtlcularly noticed a stately
Moiled, but more to, what VtttU is lo Prance.
Its Influence I aupicme. It is the railroad and
banking center. It Is the administrative center,
commercially ns well as pollllulb'. American
control tho trado In machinery nnd machinery
supplies, (lonmiis control tho hardware trade,
n good one, tmt the Americans nro making great
Inroads into It. Tho Herman hardware stores
carry largo lines of American goods, lho dry
goods trado did belong to tho English, but tho
Ocimms took It, only to lose It again to tho
Trench. The Spaniards have almost an absolute
monopoly on the grocery trade. Imports of Cali
fornia wines and American fruits aro Increasing.
Most of the resident Americans are employed on
tho railroads. The Americans camo with the
railroads and hnvo operated them ever since. Two
American furniture stores do it largo business.
Pollutes In business arc far rarer thin In the
United States. A good American hotel is a
great want.
Whllo from the Mexican standpoint last j ear's
business was not patlstactory jet, from the
American point of view, it was eminently nails
fictory. Imports from tho United States show a
largo Increase, whllo thoo from every other
country Importing to Mexico except Oprrnany
show largo decline. Wo gained ?l,13S,ooo, or
11.8 per cent., while tho total increase in impoita
was only $3,703,000, or C.S per cent. Added to
gether, tho other countries show a decrease of
.17J,000. Our sales were GI.3 of the whole,
against CO 0 in 1W0. We sold Mexico 13,000,000
and bought of licr ?u3,000,000. American money
and American customs (engendered by these
largo joint Interests) aro permeating the land of
Cortez. Those purchases of ours include largo
amounts of gold and silver bullion. The net re
sult for vis is that we sold 11.8 per cent more
and bought less than 1 per cent. more, than in
1D00. Leaving; out the gold and silver bullion,
tho balance of merchandise trade is in our
fav or.
Mexico's weakness Is her sliver currency, rrot
redeemable in gold ot par, compelling the im
port of two for ono In gold to piy her foreign
bills. (How thankful we ought to bo that xo
twice "escaped tho snare of the fowler," Mr.
W. .1. Brvnn). Impoits from Oermmy increased
C.S per cent, or ?410,000, and cxpoits to (Jcr
many fell oil $,13,571. Trance sold $10.1,000 leu
and bought ?1,900,000 les. Spain sold ?1-',000
less and bought $137,000 more. Croat Drltaln
sold $33S,0OO, or C3 per cent., less, tho shrinkage
being more thin that in cotton tcxtlljs, namely
2,100,000 to ,1,200,000, a loss ot 000,000. The
rlie in native cotton nnd linen rnmulacturing in
dustries partly accounts for this..
The principal lailioad, tho Mexican Central,
passed last jear Into Ameilcan ownership, mainly
tho St.mdird Oil interests. The Mexican Xa
tioiul rallioad lm also passed into the bands of
New Yoik capitalists. American activity is also
showing itself in oilier rallioads, steam and elec
tric, some ot which are in operation, and otheis,
for which tho Mexican government ii giving con
cessions with land grant attachments. A per-
kmment cNposition of American products, in the
"Paris' of Mexico, is also projected.
Mexico's future is largely bound up in tint ot
the United States, conuncichlly. Politically, she
is one with us for flee institutions, stable gov
ernment, and the enforcement of the Anieiicnn
(Monroe) doctrine of "No outsiders need apply,"
for tcirltoiy on tho Amciieau continent.

tbo-e bonds were selling at a premium in the

Ar other interesting pictuie is found on tho
pigo which shows the condition ot ihe savings
banks or the United States in 1001. Deposits in
savings banks in 1820 weic Sl,133,570, and tho
number of depositors, S,0j"; in 1001 the amount
of deposits was ?2,4I0,317,SS3, and the number
of depositors U,107,OS1; tho average sum due
each depositor in 1S20 was $131.80; in 1901, It
was $101.10.
Another interesting pictuie is found in tho
statement showing tho transactions of the New
York dealing liouse from 1S31 to 1001. In 1831
thp number or banks was CO, tho capital $47,001,
000, and tho clearings $5,7C0,I53,DS7; in IfOl, tho
number of banks had only increased to 02, their
capital to $32,000,000, while tho clearings had
increased to ip77,O20,072,UU, the number ot banks
having thus increased about 23 per cent., tho
capital about 75 per cent., while thd clearings
in 1001 were thirteen times as much as in 1631.
Still another interesting pictuie is. that which
shows in a single table tho story of tho for
eign conimcice of tho United States fiom 1800
to l'JOO. In 1300 the impoits were $91,000,000
and the cxpoits $71,000,000, impoits exceeding
exports by $20,000,000, or nearly 30 per cent.;
in 1901 imports wcro $323,000,000 and exports
$1,487,000,000, the excess of exports being $54,
000,000, or 80 per cent, greater than the imports.
Imports in lflOl were nine times os grcrt as in
1800, and exports were twenty-one times as great
as in 1800.,
Another interesting picture is tint which div
ides the imports into gieat classes and shows the
relative gro.vtli of each. Articles of food in 1SS0
formed 31 per cent, of tire imports, and in 19-11,
20 per cent.; manufactures ready for consump
tion in ISssO formed 20 per cent, ot the imports,
nnd in 1001, 10 8 per cent.; articles in a crudo
condition for the vise of manufacturers formed
2i tier tent, of the impoits in 18S0, and 3.13
Tier cent, in 1001, showing that manufacturers
aie steadily increasing their impositions of raw
materials icqulrcd in manufacturing, while in
most other classes the percentage of Imports is
decreasing".
