In his interview, published in the STARWednesday, Andrew Carnegie referred to the reception of the com mittee of the New York Chamber of Commerce by King Edward and re marked that it was significant of the friendly feeling of the British peo ple for this country. Mr. Carnegie takes occasion, also, to remark that he was instrumental in bringing about this meeting, which he thinks is so significant, so that it was in some respects a put up job and did not originate with the King. But haying concluded to receive the tfew Yorkers he didn't put on any royal scollops, but received and treated them as a clever gentleman would treat visitors, who came by his invitation. This he seems to have done, as shown by the follow ing expressions of members of the committee cabled to the New York Journal: President Morris K. Jesup, of the New York.Chnnber of Commerce: said "What impressions I have are of the most pleasant kind. It was my first meeting with the king, and I shall never forget it. He was affable and free, without losing dignity, and this may also be said of the queen." Isidore Straus was also greatly im pressed. "We were received by the king," he said, "in the same cordial and unostentatious manner as we would have been by a president' in America. It was a genuinely Demo cratic greeting, and I shall remember it with pleasureable recollections. He held a conversation with practically every member of the delegation, and ' he made one as much at ease as if it had been an after-dinner talk with a j lifelong friend. j "No, there were no controversia subjects touched on, as far as I know His Majesty seemed to say just the right thing in the right place. He was extremely affable in his welcome. Most of us, I think, will carry away delightful memories of our meeting with England's monarch." Secretary George Wilson, of the New TTork Chamber of Commerce, said: "It would have been impossible for any one to have treated us with more consideration, or given us more cordial greetings. I can only say, with others, I am highly delighted." These sovereign Americans seem to have been delighted and possibly surprised at such a gracious, un--ceremonious, democratic reception by a British sovereign, but Edward is a democratic sort of a fellow and that wasn't the first time he was thrown into contact with Americans.- He travelled around some in this country when a young' man and thus early in life got to know some thing about Americans by coming into personal association with a good many of them, and since then he has has met a good many in sport ing circles and elsewhere and he always seemed to enjoy being with them. That was before he became King, but it isn't easy to change the habits of a life time all of a sudden, even after clapping a crown on. But some of the English papers are not altogether pleased at this royal recognition of these' American traders which they construe as a virtual admission that England was falling behind and will soon have to play second fiddle to Uncle Sam, rather a humiliating reflection for the proud Briton who has been so long feeling as if he was "cock of the walk" and high admiral of the seas. Editor Stead construes it as a virtual surrender, expressed in the following imaginary remarks of And rew Carnegie addressing the English people: "Nothing that you can do can ever restore you to the pride of the place which you have lost, but if you will only make up your mind to recognize that you must henceforth play sec ond fiddle to Uncle Sam, you can still comfort yourself by the thought that you are. not likely to be beaten by anybody else." Editor Stead concludes that the visit of this committee is naturally "regarded as an outward and visi ble sign of the final and irrevocable passage of the supremacy of Great Britain to her kin beyond the sea." That refers, of course to commer cial supremacy, but commercial su premacy means ' power and that means supremacy in other than com mercial lines. It means supremacy as an arbiter in the affairs of nations. To the thinker who keeps his eye on the development, progress and movement of nations, there is no thing unreasonable nor surprising in this. This country out of the way, -England might hold her own for centuries with European nations and hold relatively the same position-she; holds now, for in genius and push, she is the superior of any of them, and she has gotten such" a start - that it would take them a time to catch up if they ever ; did. But in "this country she has a jomngi spirited, resourceful, ag gressive and tireless competitor to contend against, " one that has studied her methods; understands them and can discount them, as is - being done every day in industrial lines, not only in the marts of the -world but in her own ' colonial and "hoiao marts.' . ' .. ' : LjXEnnd'apulation : although Csteadilr increasing, is about half the population of this country. With the rate of increase': in this ". country re will soon have three or four times the population of "England.; Eng land's resonrcea: in iron, coal,1 etc., wMb have been' drawn upon for centuries, are approacHng ; exhaus tion; while ours are scarceijrappet vcd tbst here is a nucH ; larger popu lation of the most ingenious and aggressive people, in : the ' world, with unlimited resources to draw upon,again8t a much smaller number of comparatively plodding people, with limited resources, with the in evitable result that the smaller number with the lesser resources must surrender its place in the front line and drop to the second. This does not mean that England will play out and cease to be a potent factor in the world's commerce and affairs, for John Bull has tenacity, is tough, and has a good deal of solidity in him, but it does mean that he must succumb to inevitable fate, and yield to his younger, stronger and more assertive com petitor. This will take time, of course, for John Bull will hold out to the last and surrender very reluctantly when he can hold out no longer, but the time will depend largely upon the policies pursued by this country. It may be staved off indefinitely if we pursue the narrow methods which will array the commercial nations of the world against us, and thus by our folly play into England's hand. j - A CHIP ON THE SHOULDER BUSINESS. The Senatorial resignation episode in South Carolina has : resulted in nothing so far but the writing of some pretty tart letters by the re resigning Senators and Governor McSweeney. It didn't require much persuasion to induce Senator Mc Laurin to withdraw his resignation, and as it was Senator Tillman's pur pose in resigning to force the resig nation of his colleague, of course he followed suit when he had failed in his object, butvnot until he had given the Governor "a piece of his mind," who, in return, gave the Senator a piece of the Gubernatorial mind. The result of all this is that the resigning sensation has culmina ted in what Senator Tillman says the public may look upon as an opera bouffe. It seems to us that if either of these Senators was anxious to test his standing before the people of South Carolina, in as much as each insists that the other does not rep resent the Democracy of that State, they could very easily settle that matter and make the test by agree ing to resign unconditionally, which would make it imperative on the Governor to accept, and thus, as far as they are concerned, end the mat ter of the resignations. Thus far the status of the case has been in the "I-will-if-you-do" shape, with neither of the Senators honing to get out, but probably a score or so of other patriotsQ honing to get in. One thing, however; has been fully demonstrated, and that is that Messrs. Tillman and McLaurin are not enamored of each other. A MINERAL CENTER A Jefferson, N. C, dispatch to the Raleigh News and Observer says that movements are on foot and taking shape to develop the iron and copper mines of Ashe county. Engineers are now em ployed locating lines to connect with the Norfolk and Western road, and the people are jubilant over the pros pect of the bright future for their immediate section. This dispatch says that this county possesses the greatest body of Bessemer iron ore south of Pennslvania, and that Pennsylvania capital has been en listed for the development and work ing of the deposits. While we knew that there was iron in that county, '- as there is in all the . region , on our North ern border, we were not aware of the fact that it) ex isted in exceptional abundance or in exceptional quality, hnt we were aware of the fact that the county contains immense am practi cally inexhaustible coppe'veins, of much more than ordinary richness, some of which were worked . by Northern men shortly after the war. The vein at Ore Knob is seven or eight feet thick and of high grade. Work was abandoned (as it was in a good many of our other copper mines) on account of the low price of copper and because of the ex pense of getting the output to mar ket for lack of economical means of transportation. With railroad facil ities now in contemplation and soon, as we are told, to be put . in opera tion, this difficulty will be overcome and thenweJ may lobklor active development . of this richly endowed region, rich not only; n; minerals, but in' soil, - timber and f in rapid streams to furnish power for numer ous manufacturing industries.

CURRENT COMMENT. The string by which the Cubans hold their independence may prove a uoraian Knot, n is certainly a knotty problem, the so lution of which has not yet been reached. Richmond Dispatch, Dem. It has been left for Pennsyl- vania to introduce a novelty in the way of summary vengeance, lhey dug up the body of a murderer and suicide in that state a few days ago and threw it into a pond where the water was 50 feet deep. The reason was that the community was so out raged by the acts of the man that it would not permit the body to rest in the common burying gronnd. It would have been more to that com munity's credit to have lynched a live man. Atlanta Journal, Dem. The historian Fronde says: "If there be one lesson which his tory clearly teaches, it is this that free nations cannot govern subject provinces. If they are unable or unwilling to admit their depen dencies to share their own Consti tution, the Constitution itself will fall in pieces from mere incompe tence for its duties." These words were written when the writer was looking backward over the rise and fall of past empires; but there -is warning in them for the empire builders who are looking ahead of which theY may well take heed. Philadelphia Record, Dem. In voting for the adoption of the PUtt amendment in a slightly modified form, the Uuban Consti tutional Convention has reckoned without its host. Mr. McKinley and his advisers do not intend to be flouted by any country which they have been able to benevolize. Cuba is to be informed, through Governor-General Wood, that the Piatt amendment must be adopted in substantially unmodified shape. If not, the word goes forth, the American army of occupation will not be withdrawn from the island. This is putting the thumb-screw on poor Cuba, and with compara tively small provocation. Of course, the Constitutional Convention will have to go back over the rocky ground and do Mr. McKinley'a will. It is not a foregone conclusion that the American troops will all be with drawn, even after this performance. Norfolk Landmark, Dem. Presidios Elder's Appointments, Wllmiat tea District.

He was evidently a foreigner, and he walked Into one of the big jewelry houses on F street and asked for a watch.

In emulation of Lombroso perhaps, has been figuring out the habitual employment of con victs. He concludes that more men and women whose employers are the national, state or ' municipal govern ments fall into evil ways and come to -untoward ends than those who work for private Individuals or corporations. A very large proportion of the men and women who have been handlers of pub lic moneys seem to yield to the con stant temptation and begin to peculate, and some cynic avers that peculation is the corollary of speculation. As a matter, of fact most of the big and lit tle thieves who confess how they were led to take money that did not belong to them declare that speculations of one sort or another brought them eventually behind the bars.

Naturally, for sheer spite, the broker offers them only about half as much as they would get if they approached him properly.

He carried his ideas to a successful and beautiful finish and sent her on her initial trip, and she' came back $800 loser. The natives along the river would not ship on her nor would they ride on her nor trust their live stock on her. They "couldn't see the wheel go round." So the Flora Belle made trip after trip, burning from $800 to $1,000 worth of coal and taking in perhaps $200. The newspapers" took it up, and it was street talk about what a "frost" the Flora Belle was. Everybody from banker to boot black knew the tale. At this time the old National theater on Sycamore street was the bon ton theater of Cincinnati, and its gallant men and lovely women thronged the performances. One. night the. commodore attended, and as he en tered there was a series of nadgings and whisperings. "There's the commodore! There's the owner of Flora Belle!" " The play was one of those.

Y. QUAINT COLONIAL NAMES. How the OfTapi-inar of Oar First Colo nlats Were Christened. It is an interesting study to trace the underlying reason for many of the cu rious names which are given to the off spring of the first colonists. . Parents searched for names of deep signifi cance for names appropriate to con ditions, 'for those of profound influ ence presumably on the child's life. The Rev. Richard Buck, one of the early parsons in Virginia, in days of deep depression, named his first child Mara. This' text Indicates the reason for his choice: "Call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me. I went out full, and the Lord has brought me home empty." . His second child was christened Gershom for Moses' wife "bare him a son and called his name Gershom, for he said I have been in a strange land." Many names have a pathos and sad ness which can be felt down through the centuries..
