'It did hot wait to reach' a great size. With the Cuban insurgents more aggressive than, ever amd Spain hav ing played heir last card ineffectively, it would seem that there ough t to be some de cided developments soon. It would be a novelty if a Wellington and a 'Bonaparte should sit side by side in fibe senate of the United States. Welling ton is there already and Charles Jerome Bonaparte, a grandson of Napoleon's brother, is trying to get there from Mary-la-nd. The prevailing opinion seems to be, .feowever, that Governor Lowndes will be elected. The report that Senator iPritchard has frankly acknowledged his candidacy for the Judgeship of the Western (District, 'to take the place of Judge R.. P. Dick, is denied by mne of the senator's friends in the city. Jnrdge 'Dick 'has not yet resigned not ex pressed any .purpose to do so. -Is it not nather premature for the 'hungry ito " be pressing their claims at this time, there being no vacancy even apparent or actual? As stated by our 'Raleigh correspondent eome'days ago the surpeme court has de cided ithat the act passed by the last 'legis lature to cause criminal 'indictment to be brought, against persons, who failed to .pay their taxes within a stipulated time is il legal, and void. The decision, causes no -urprise, the only wonder is that even 'the egislatuTe of 1896-7 should have blundered Into such an' absurd piece of legislation. iPLEJNTY O-F MONEY. The 'Philadelphia (Record, ia day or two , before the failure of Col. Singerly's bank had on interesting article on' the benefit .the East was receiving from large crops nnd high prices In the West. The article Is no less important because the wave of firosoerity was not sufficient to float the Record owner's ventures and we submit an extratcfT from it for the encouratfe- , anent it may contain to those who see only the blue side of the financial. situation in this countrv: Money 5 - ,T. .wun mjc 5 n ueab uiuiv vvril crops in tthe Western states last sumaner and the high prices which the farmers bave ;i been receiving for their products," says the - fflecord, "there has for the last few months " ,3een a steady stream of money pouring 1 1 into the "East in liquidation -of mortgages ; i id d;eb:s. iNo financial centre contributed ages and other investments in years past - "than Philadelphia,! and the returning tide is alj .the more gratifying In that tthousands t ' pl Investments that were .until recently .: considered worthless are again paying dn ;l terest, or being entirely liquidated without "loss. , INot only. are defaultied in terest charges and "back taxes being paid 4 ;np, but. In a large penmen tagev if aiotan : actual 'majority j of cases, ilhe principals of ne aeoxs are ; being cleared up. 'f (Even the most doubtful jelass of securities are being heard from in. this ' favorable manner. . - . - '"The teturn. of this money from- the West "means -much for (Philadelphia when it is considered that .millions , of ' capital were sent during the 'SO's in the'blind rush to buy mortgages. From 1883 until nearly as late as 1$90 the-investing ; companies of this city could not acquire these mort gages fast enough to a-ccommodate"il the investors who were anxious to send their money along with the flood. The amount of money that is estimated -to have gone from 'this city alone into- western mort gages is es'tknated at .'any where from $10, 000,000 to $40,000,000, and the greater figure is probably more nearly corrects than the lesser. Hundreds of ithousands of dollars were completely wiped' out when the boom collapsed, and as dmic more was so poorly secured asto be considered extremely doubtful. iSome of the, least promising in vestments are -now being returned, along with tthe g'efneral ebb of the tide. Good times in Kansas, and Nebraska." If our system of finance permitted or en couraged the proper distrfbaition of this wealth, instead of favoring its diversion and centralization to the hands of. a few men, the benefit of all this would be anaich more apparent throughout the country. Only a suitable part of the money that goes into the hands of capitalists now flows back in to, channels helpful, to legitimate trade. THE STOMACH. That the stomaiph is not a vital organ is a startling discovery, at least to the ma-, jority of people, whose knowledge of surg ical accomplishments is -not complete. The caso of he removal of the stomach from the human body during life has never been successfully accomplished, perhaps never tried, u;ntil .the remarkable operation per- formed in Zurich, Switzerland, by 'Dr. Carl Schlatter, on September fi. In the accocnt given in the Medical Record of December 25 the following facts are given: "The subject was Anna Land is, fifty-six years did and -a silk weaver. This woman had complained for years of stomach trouble. Dr. Schlatter diagnosed the case and found she was suffering from an exceptionally large oval tumor in her -stomach.? Seeing that the organ. was useless, Dr. Schlatter freed it from its'delicate attach ments. 'When Dr. Schlatter had excised the entire stomach he firmly united a small coil of intestines to the oesopha gus, thus making a direct connection be tween the alimentary canal and the bow els. The work of joining the,, intestines and aesophagus was most delicate. .They were bound together with sutures. The organs were allowed to drop back into their positions, the abnormal wound was sewed up and all there was. to show that Anna fLandis had Jost her stomach was a slight retraction towards the diaphragm. The period following proved that the steriliz ation had been perfect and the operation wonderfully performed. 'The patient, al though old and feeble, exhibited but a few of the serious symptoms that usually fol- low. a vital aperktionp. Minule auatmesp'f liquid food were given to herat short ih- itervals. With the exceprtion 1 occasional vomitings, this food seemed to be assimi lated, despite the absence of a food recep tacle. In the second week after the op eration shewas given 'solid food. It was retained and digested without discomfort. On October 11, a" month and five days after the stomach had been removed, Anna Landis left ber bed. By November 25 she was feeling perfectly well and was walking about. Her weight increased and apparently she was in far better health than before the operation." This operation that appears so daringly radical is, after all, in the line of evolution in suTgery. It is the last step in a long line of operations that have .been ydone in various ways to eliminate the work of the stomach in order to save life, though it is the first, in which the entire stomach has been removed. Dr. Schlatter, of Zurich, is not the only daring surgeon tox the world and as his achievement is not copyrighted or patented it is safe to predict that stom- achless individuals will soon cease 'to be a novelty, if they do not grow as numerous as people minus 'their appendix vermi- formes. - The cases of persons who will re quire the operation will grow with the supply of surgeons who can perform it; But the achievement is a consoling one in- that it offers means of saving life, and removes the apprehension of sure death as the re sult of certain ailments. It ought not to remove any imiasn'sstomachfromh.isre&pect fu'l consideration, for the stomach will con tinue to retain the capacity of being a man's good friend or his bad enemy, large ly as he wills to treat it. It seems tcLbe generally conceded throughout Europe that (Russia is oing 'to possess herself by fair means or foul of the Chinese seaport. Port Arthur, as am east ern terminus for her railway The Cer- 's r . . man emperor's seizure of the, port he now holds may be" retaliatory measure to keep Oermany even with 'Russia in her eastern acquisition. If that be its purpose then a general division of China is at hand and Is ds hardly to be supposed that England and 'France will fail to step, up to demand their share in the division of spoils. The Richmond Times speaking of this matter says: "1 may be that port Arthur neing tacitly conceded to (Russia, as a thing that is lndispensiable'to:her, 'the other powers propose to do no more -than divide China off into districts, In each of whldh one 'European Power will exercise am Influence, without actually disturbing the theoretical ownership and; control-ot Cbina oeriall as one autonomous country. (Mean whiieV' what aTe we goiri to do labout it? That - is a question which seems to be giv ing all 'Europe the - very .greatest concern. But: it may quiet its mind enMrely.-.We are not going to do anything at all about it so long as Europe and . -the Chinese re spect the Tights of Americans there and in terfere 4a" no way with those trading rights whicS our treaties,' with "China give to Americaars, We want no Chinese coun try and we want no sphere of influemce in China. All we want is the liberty to jour citizens to '. trade aaid trafic ': with the Chinese upon terms of perfects equality with the people of all otheriations, which our treaties now secure to us, and thiat be- I ing left undisturbed, the United States will have- nothing to sayi about what takes place' in China. POSTSCRIPTS. .a v The 'Hamburger- ."Nachrichten " denies that Prince 'Bismarck's gout is better, and say's he can not walk or sleep and is unable fco read or answer his friendsf letters. .

A despatch to the London Daily MaiI from Copenhagen says that the United States have made overtures to Denmark for. the purchase or a narrow strip of land "in Southwest Greenland. The despatch adds that the United States contemplates the es tablishment of a coaling station there without'delay. The annual dividend list of the Fall River textile mills, just issued shows that eleven, mills have passed dividends this year,, as against three which did not pay5 dividends in 1896. The earnings of the mills as represented by the amount paid out in 'dividends weTe $77G;300, against $1, 268,875 in 1896, and $1,742,625 in 1896. This is an average on the total capital invested of a little over 3.38 per cent., against 5.9F per cent, in 1896 and 8.18 per cent, in 1895. The iNeues Werner Journal of Vienna, publishes an interview with Sir Charles Dilke, who is considered a high authority on foreign affairs. He says that the situa tion m 'Eastern Asia is very threatening, and -that he knows for certain tht ' Japan is making warlike preparations with great activity. That country seeirs 'to nrojct an attack on China or Corea. ' Sir Charles de clares that he has no faith in Japan's pa cific professions. 'He reminded the inter-, viewer that England occupied Port Hamil ton in 1885 and 18'87, and said that Great Britain greatly needed a naval station in North China. ! ' Senator Lodge proposes to revive his bill for the annexation of the colonies of St. Thomas,, iSt. Croix and St. John, down lnf Wf wh.icn fjrnment States whenever we are williDg to pay for them. A year ago the senate passed a res olution instructing the secretary of staiie to ascertain whether the islands were still for sale, and he has reported' in the af firmative. Thirty years ago the purchase was completed by Secretary Seward, but Senator Sumner prevented the passage, of the bill which 'appropriated the money to pay for them. Mr. iodge urges 'thepur chase on account of the need of a soube-n repair station. There is not a vessel in i;he United States navy that co"ild carry enough coal to steam from New York to 'San Fran cisco to Valparaiso. Secretary Alger has received the fol lowing telegram from Ca.pt. Brainard: "Chicago, Cec. 25.
