Susan' B. Anthony asserts that American women know nothing of the value of money. That appears to be true when it is remembered that so many of them throw it away in fancy prices for worthless foreign noblemen. -

They tell us the value of the year’s farm products in the United States is appreximately $4,500,000,000. Thus the gentlemen who at sundry times dream of forming a great cooperative monopoly to control the products of the farm may make some estimate of the size of the job they are so fond of undertaking.

That wheat is taking the place of rice as the princ¢ipal article of food in Japan and China is’a conclusion arrived at by consultation of statistics, and the reason /s to be found in the development cof wheat fields hitherto left to the growth of grass, as in Canada, Australia and Russia. The more wheat is raised the more will be used, the larger yield keeping the price down, and as it is the finest grain grown, it is bound to take the place of all others.

The governor of Missouri and the authorities of St. Louis county are to be congpatulated upon their fearfess vindication of law @and their courageous stand for public decency in preventing the Spanish bullfight advertised to take place in an arena near the world’s fair grounds on Sunday. The Spanish bullficht has no place. on American soil. Having ‘driven Spain from this hemisphere we should 'not countenance or *tolerate the 'transplanting of her. most brutalizing and d®grading amusement in any state in the union. . Far away in the mountains of the Canadian northwest, on the borders of the Canadian national park, near Banff, ajbed of fine anthracite has been discovered which is from six to ten feet thick.

So the development of they dominion gofs on steadily and ~Canadian prospects’ are excellent. The more Canada flourishes the better for the United States. Our neighbor to the north cannot prosper without benefit to this country. '

' In the newly-awakened national consciousness of t’he, Mormon peril, the fact is beginning to dawn that the strength of the Mormon people is in their industrial system, rather than their religion. Without a business basis, this queer religious cult would have '_.dissolved,'into insignificancelongago. Itisthisfeature that makes the Mormons dangerous in our present-day United States. The Mormon church is a great commercial and industrial power. Its commercial greatness holds the people together, and gives them a solidarity that defies all reforming political influences. :

. The Michigan physician who puts 'the ‘ annual money loss to the United States from typheid fever at $50,000,000 is far from- setting forth the full truth. He reaches his estimate by assuming $l,OOO as the average value of the lives and he omits ad account of money spent in care of nonfatal cases. The real value of the lives lost might more ; broperly be rated at $5,000, and at least $lOO én the average must be spent on victims who recover. On this calculation, assuming that the physician is correct, the " annual loss to the country from typhoid is nearly $300.000,000. i —_—_— ' Notwithstanding the fact that the czar, who took the first active steps toward the international conference that established The Hague tribunal, is now at ~war, the Mohonk conference is justified in congratulating humanity on this step toward universal peace.
