grow a with its growth- One railroad has constructed two docks, located at Buffalo and Erie, that unload 2,S?00,000 tons of ore during the season of navigation. The depth of water at these docks Is sufficient for the largest boats. Massive electric machinery unloads the ore and then puts on board a return cargo of coal. At the Buffalo dock COO tons of ore an hour Is transferred by machinery directly from a ship to a train that runs along the fate of the dock, and sto age bins are at hand that hold 2Tk),000 tons each. Up to four years ago a steel bucket holding a ton was lowered into a vessel and filled by shovelers. Now selffilling baskets, each of five to ten tons capacity, are used, and 110 shuvelers are n xled. ' The deep lake channels have brought about the bis ships, and these in turn Lave expanded, the methods of loading and unloading. Economic gains are larg and added to every year. Letno on? undertake to deal with river improvement on the basis of the commerce cn the present unimproved river channels. Bij vessels, with assured depth of water, create conditions of their owl.

quency and seriousness of disasters are matters of indifference to railway Managers and officers. The actual destrueti n of property and the enormous damages that Invariably follow would alone be sufficient to Insure all possible precautions; but that these potent motives have proved ineffectual, shows that the radical defect in American methods and practice has not yet been reached. The successful . incorporation Into American practice of an Independent public Investigation of railway accidents by a trained official, such as an engineerofMrer of the army, presents ninny dilliculties of legislation, but these It should not be impossible to overcome.

HEBJDA'S MANY MILLION HUES. XXade Bich by llenqaen; Yucatan Slay Yield Supremacy. The wealth of the mines of Mexico Is proverbial, yet there are nearly as many millionaires in Merida, the capital of Yucatan, a State with practically no mineral resources, as there art In all Mexico combined, says Modern Mexico. Henequen. or sisal hemp as It is sometimes known, has made Merida and its people rich. Merida has forty millionaires, or one to every 2,000 inhabitants. The farmers of the United States, who rse binding twine, which is manufactured from henequen, have ' enriched the growers of henequen In jYuoatan. The United States, la 100, bought from Mexico 03,8? t tons of henequen, valued at $ 14,480,509. The Imports, of henequen elsewhere than from Mexico amount ;d to but 2,500 tons, valued at about $00.150. Of the total amount of henequen exported from Mexico to the United States, and this accounts for about 03 per cent of the total production, all but less than 6,000 tons was produced In Yucatan. Only la Caxpeche, Chiapas and Tabasco Is henequen grown outs'de of Yucatan, In Mexico. Of these the largest 'aaount of henequen is grown In Campecho, the production of this State last year being 3,200 tons. Campeche Is the future competitor of Yucatan la the production of henequen. While Yucatan Is the natural habitat of henequen, yet the production In Campeche is greater per acre. This is due to the better quality of lar.I In Campeche and the greater amount of rainfall. The stability of the henequen Industry Is, to quote a Yucatan authority, "greater than that of any bank." The plant has practically no enemies. Drought doe; not affect It, and the leeway allowable In Its harvesting extends oer twelve months. The best authorities agree that the co-rt of profoctiori of henequen to the planter Is ubout 2 cents per pound. IandeJ in Hew York, the cost per pound Is placed at about 3 cents. The average price of Lenequea is about 7 cents per pound, thowlnz a net profit In the neighborhood of 100 per cent. With an average good stand of henequen, counting In the profits from by-products, each acre, It Is estimated, will produce $G0. I i THE ARKANSAS HOO. ft Can Outran a Greyhound and 1 Whip m.

They escorted her Jubilantly to a Jutting headland, where she could best behold the tremendous sea, and stood eagerly awaiting her verdict. It was unexpected. "Waves rolling mountains high, In deed!" she exclaimed, disgustedly. Why, they aren't rolling any higher than second-story windows! Don't they do any better than that, ever'" She soon came to appreciate the real beauty and majesty of a scene for which the figurative language of the poets, taken literally, had ill-prepared her ; but It was long before the daähed spirits of her Eastern cousins resumed their buoyancy. A like shock was that experienced by a lady who accompanied a friend for the first time to the White Mountains. "There they are! Look!" she cried, as Mount Washington and the assembled iaks of the Presidential range burst into view through parting clouds. "Where?" demanded her friend, eagerlj "What, not those? Why, I thought of course they would be snow-enpiH-d! What are they called White Mountains for if they're not white?" Still more discouraging-was the experieafe r-f the farmer in a beautful, softlv rolling country, who was visited at the same time by relatives from Illi nois and relatives from Vermont. Cousin John from the prairies grew rest less after a day or two, and finally own ed he felt shut In and smothered. These hills! these hills! Living In a bole. I call It," he said. "Now I like to see a neighbor coming when he's ten miles off, and get some sense and feeling of the size of this good, big old world of ours. I want room !'

CONVICTION OP ISAYOK SCHMITZ.

N the long list of bad city administrations which this nation has to Its discredit the period of misrule given to San Francisco by Schmitz and his unscrupulous political partner, Abe Ruef, must be ranked near the top. It stands as a reproach to San Franciscans, who were not sufficiently public

spiritec" to act in the Interest of the community at critical times. Instead, they dallied with faction and so were overwhelmed with disgrace in municipal affairs long after they had had abundant proof tLat the Schmitz regime w-3 unreliable and unscrupulous. In the riot of bribery which has been a logical result of their lack of public spirit they have had their well-merited punishment Here Is . lesson for every American municipality. No citizen of any of them can afford to shape his course la political matters In response to any but the best motives. If lie elects boodlers to power they are his boodlers and his Is the shame when their: evil doing3 are exposed. There are plenty ot worthy and efficient men to hold all the public offices.

Uut is it not well to stop and consider just what independence means to-day? Every boy who helps to make the Fourth of July hideous with noise can tell you that he is celebrating the birth of liberty. Uut is he not also accenting the growth of license? Why should he awaken his neighbors at 3 in the morning with sounds of the Inferno because he dwells in a free country? If he's free to celebrate, why should not his neighbors be free to sleep until a reasonable hour in the morning? It was this forgetfulueas of the ria-ht of others which made King George of England a tyrant from whose persecutions America declared its indeoendeuce on the original Fourth of July. He talk much-of our glorious Iibertv in America, but we are rapidly develoDing a tendency toward a tyranny as great as that which once compelled us to rebel against a king. It might be well for each one of us ro ask himself on the birthday of American liberty just what he is doing to make liberty a universal possession. American independence is becoming a good dal like American business enterpnsesV thing of trusts and monopolies. IJeforeyou decorate your house with Sags and send off your fireworks upon this rourth of July, like good American citizens, yon Would better make a little mental analysis of your motives, habits and method. of life, and find out just what you are daily contributing tovflirJ the freedom of all Americans. Are you doing everything yca can ia yonr social, business and political orbit to give wider liberty, leisure and prosperity to humanity at large? Are you thlnkin; hov.- to lessen the hours of labor for the hordes of people who toil twelre and fourteen hours out of the twenty-four in this glorious land of liberty? Or .are you planning ways to get more work out of them, and to In crease your own fortune and leisure? Are you helping t teach the law of brotherhood, or are you widening the breach" between the employer and employe by your arrogance and selfishness?

William Jennings Iiryan is talking a good deal nowadays, and it is to be observed that his talks are usually replies to Democrats who dare to suggest some thing concerning the next campaign. If Henry Watterson says be has a candidate, Bill wants the- dark horse trotted out right away. If some other Democrat urges the policy ol naming a candidate from the South, Bill protests that section must not bi considered. If Judsou Harmon Modestly hints that people want the tarifl revised. Bill says, "All right, but that isn't the main thing ; we must go after the trusts and railroads." This constant nagging o.i the part ot Mr. Bryan, this taking Issue with every other Democrat in the country on every proposition advanced, thereby setting himself up as the party oracle and the only one, Is doing more to- make bis nomination improbable than could be accomplished by years of organized effort. Prominent men In the party are getting tired of Mr. Bryan's bombast He had no sooner stepped foot on American soil after bis trip around the world than.be placed his party on the defensive by advocating the government ownership of Interstate railroads and state ownership of intrastate lines. This radical socialism created such a furore that Mr. Bryan was compelled to modify his statement, and he tfcen declared it would be the natural outcome after government control was proved a failure. But Democrats repudiated bis revision, and he has been studiously silent of late on that proposition. Finally lie asserted that Roosevelt was 0 good deal of a Democrat, because b. had stolen Democratic principles and adapted them to his .administration, whereat John Temple Graves suggested that, as a true American citizen, Mr. Bryan should go before the Democratic convention and nominate Mr. Roosevelt. Suddenly Mr. Bryan discovered that Mr. Roosevelt, after all, was not a Democrat The fact Is, Mr. Bryan is flounder Ing. He wants to be President so bad that he has lost his head. He has taken up one issue after another, only to flnd that the people will not follow his leadership. lie has been trying for more than ten years to et into the current of public opinion and swim with It, but he cannot locate it He doesn't seem capable of properly analyzing conditions.

Southern Democratic Strength. . Commenting on the fact that of the 5,077,071 votes received by Parker in IOOI, only 1,228,133 were drawn from the Southern States, that gave him 110 electoral votes, while the more than 3,(XX,000 Democratic votes of the North represented no electoral votes whatever, the Houston Posfsaj's that scarcely a third of the Southern Democrats go to the po'!, nnd that their aggregate Is mon; than 3,500,000. The Pot assorts that "there is but one poiitital party In the South that results are settled at primaries and that hundreds of thousands of voters disqualify themselves by refusing to pay poll taxes. uHere in Texas," it remarks, ''we have 900,000 voters, of whom 000,000 an undoubtedly Democrats, but last year scarcely lrjO.OUO votes were cast for the Democratic candidate for Governor, and less than SU0.U00 voted la the Democratic primaries, while our records show that only about 500,000 are qualitied to vote under the law3 of Texas." As more than a third of the votes In all the Southern States in 11)04, and a fourth of those cast in Texas, were Republican, the statement that there is only one party in the South is Inaccurate. ,It Is repeated with such par rot-like insistence that many believe It Whether the voters in the- South who remain away from the ik11s are Democrats or not is a matter unproved. They are more apt to represent, if not opposition, various forms of dissatisfaction. At all events, the ballot that is not cast must remain unclassified until It takes its place in the returns. Only 18 per cent of the iopulation of Texas are nej,Ties. The Texas Republicans numbered 51,242 in 10O4, and there are excellent reasons why the number will be increased in the next national election.

If it does, it is laboring under a delusion. The removal of the protective princlp'es of the tariff would Instantly exise the Industries of this country to tbe inroads of foreign goods made at starvation wages, and no matter how strong and prosperous an Institution Is, it cannot long withstand such a corroding influence on Its business. Wages would have to be lowered, quality of articles cheapened and money withdrawn from Investment in unprofitable concerns. Any one with common sense can figure out the ultimate result of such a condition, With all due respect to the Journal for a most excellent but misguided. newspaier, the intelligent ieopIe of the country do not preise to do away with the protective tariff and let down the bars to panic and business stagnation.
