Undoubtedly the beginning of a new and, if possible, more prosperous era for this hemisphere was inaugurated on Wednesday of last week at the opening of the All-American Congress in Wash­ ington., Some time ago, President Har­ rison invited the Republics of Mexico, Central and South America, Hayti, San Domingo and the Empire of Brazil, to such a congress with the United States of America, with the end in view of increas­ ing intercourse, developing trade, and for a better understanding between these nations. That the subject is of vast im- _ portance is manifest from the great in- j sewer stink is to a community, tereet and concern apparent in European j the garb of friendship that is HANLY BROTHERS. -BEEEDE2S OF- Roadsters, Draft AND GBADE HORSES.

The South American exhibits at the Paris exhibition surprised all Europe and North America. At the coming Colum­ bus exposition there will be still greater facilities for their display and for the growth of commercial and friendly rela­ tions. The population of South America is about 40,000,000. The political di­ visions are, the Empire of Brazil, four European colonies and fifteen republics. The aggregate area is about 8,500,000 square miles, and their trade, export and import, is about $700,000,000 annually. Of this only about one-seventh is with the United States. This movement is not the outgrowth of a moment. As the country has become more and more intersected with railroads and more was learned of it, there has been a growing feeling, and for ten years clerks and commercial agents have been watching it closely. The possibilities of the Empire of Brazil are simply beyond comprehension as its resources and capa­ bilities are almost illimitable. Most of the South American States, as well as Centsal America and Mexico are advanc­ ing more rapidly than at any previous time in their history. It is worthy of notice that there is not one among them all but desires closer relations, commer­ cial and otherwise, with the Great Re­ public. The welcome accorded the delegates at Washington was enthusiastic, and Mr. Blaine's speech of welcome a masterpiece, full of American fact and sentiment. It was comprehensive and contagious in its Americanism. All the world can gather from his lucid remarks just what the Congress means, and just what glowing prospects pertain to the future Pan- American Alliance and its inevitable growth and power. It will enlighten our Central and South American friends as to the reason of the conference and the spirit in which it has been sought. It is an immense American movement, and will be replete in immense American re­ sults. One sentence in Mr. Blaine's forci­ ble speech, breathing of Pan-American spirit, is given below: The delegates whom I am addressing can do much to establish permanent re­ lations of confidence, respect and friend­ ship between the nations which they rep­ resent. They can show to the world an honorable and peaceful conference of sev­ enteen independent American powers, in which all shall meet together on terms of absolute equality; a conference in which there can be no attempt to coerce a sin­ gle delegate against his own conception of the interests of his nation; a confer­ ence which will permit no secret under­ standing on any subject, but will frankly publish to the world all its conclusions; a conference which will tolerate no spirit of conquest, but will aim to cultivate an American sympathy as broad as both continents; a conference which will form no selfish alliance against the older na­ tions from which we are proud to claim inheritance; a conference, in fine, which will seek nothing, propose nothing, en­ dure nothing, that is not, in the general sense of all the delegates, timely and wise and peaceful. prove a mental load yon must caa*|h%nd will carry if you are an honest man, and your non-paying patron is no help to you. He is a dead weight. Of no more use for help or ornament than is a lub­ berly pappoose that is carried on its mother's back by its mother while sha i» planting corn. Non-.paying OTRjscriban*, no matter how high their degree, how ex­ alted their station, how professed their friendship, are to a newspaper or publish­ er what a slim bed-bug is to a tired trav- eler; what a mosquito is to a child; what a polecat is to a hen roost; what a leech is to the body it bleeds; what a flirty Under a lie, lie fastens himself upon the back of his poor devil of a printer, editor and publisher victim, as a tiger fastens itself npon the horse whose blood it sucks out and drinks. A paper costs thought, labor, care, cash, : vitality. Hie patron should furnish cash when the editor and publisher fuiv nishes all else. He should be proud thai he is a helper to a pioneer in the untrod­ den wilds of thought or the builder up of causeways along which millions may • travel safely. The man who is a subscrib­ er to a newspaper and not a payer there= for, is to a newspaper office exactly what a tapeworm is to the stomach of a man, and when an editor has a lot of quent subscribers he is like a child With its stomach and intestines fnll of worms. The sooner he applies common aents worm medicine to himself the better oS he will be. It is not a help or a 1 to a man to trust him to a any more than it is to give him credit lot the liquor he calls for. Men are never fully benefitted by papers that are bor­ rowed or subscribed for, but not paif for. ; As you value success and the frienesh%» of your friends, let no paper go fromyow office 'till is is paid for, and stop sending' it the moment the subscription expire*. The delegates are now upon a forty days' journey inspecting the marvels to be found in the United States. Every­ thing has been arranged and perfected for a pleasant trip and ovations meet them at ever^ turn. There will be no changeof cars through­ out the entire distance of 5,406 miles. In its 42 days' journeying the train will pass over the main lines in 80 different rail­ way corporations, passing through the States of Maryland, Delaware, Pennsyl­ vania, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Connnecticut, Ohio, Michigan, In­ diana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri and Kentucky. •dTioe to a Country Elditor and Pub- liaher. Bxidk Potaeroy gives the following ad­ vice to country publishers : Tes, you can have our advice, resulting from thirty-nine years in the printing office. If you take it you will be better off usually in mind, body and cash. When you are starting a paperit is not subscribers you need so much as money. Every name of a non-paying subscriber you put on your books is to your busi­ ness what a loaded tin can is tied to a dog's tail. To tie such things to a dog's tail is brutal, cowardly and cruel to ani­ mals. To ask an editor or publisher to tie you to his tail financially, is to add to his loads at the very time of all others when he should be helped, not hampered. Every pound of paper yon buy and every paper you print is an expense to you. If you pay for it you should be paid in return. If you are trusted and agree to pay tar 1% in the future, every $Tne q| debt w|H *$©3. and feT" Did you ever think that every hu­ man being with the powers of reason and sense are living every day for something better? No matter how poor or lowly, or rich, or high in rank, we look for some hour bye and bye when we shall be hap­ pier. It does not matter how unkind for­ tune may have been, or that we have seen thousands of hopes float out of «gMr just down the river of time never to/re­ turn, just as we thought they rn finjjyr grasp. It does not matter how ma&y loved faces whose smiles have been our heaven, have faded from the shores of time, and that they moulder where the daisies nod above the dust; it does not} matter what lips we once touched with ,» /fj thrills of joy akin to what heaven might ^ 4*| give, if heavep were all that purest im- magination has painted it, will never '-v|' °'!i speak our names again or touch agaift. ^ ^ our lips with theirs. Once having tasted ? | happiness the dream and hope of more * tq will float on through the to-morrows of * ^ M forever. It is grand that this is so, and ^ there is a reason for it, and the reason it V > 1 this: There are some supreme moment* *£ which carry us above and beyond every HI and pain and disappointment of lifej' moments that count for years, and blot- ting out the past we live a forever that moment.--Ex. ^ J,.'T ... The Modern Newspaper. - " The Journalist is severe on the modem newspaper and especially their Sunday * 'if \ i editions. That the criticisms are well de» . r I served, no one gifted with the average modicum of mentality will deny. The | Journalist says: i Activity of the high order of pressure ^ H a characteristic of ouif editors, and whato-% ever scheme, project or enterprise may Jr claim attention, it is all-absorbing. Ia Y • { ' ̂ music, art, or literature, they look for thaf? • " * V1 most sensational of mental pabulum, and\ everything tuust be of the superlative or* der to command success. They scorn, mediocrity, and recognize no criterion of % V 1 merit so much as sensationalism. Go ont '^ ' r or get out of the way, is their order t h i n g s , a n d w o e b e t i d e t h o s e w h o w i l l t r y * ~ ̂ f to check the headlong career on whiel* it,'; these journalists are bent. The cheap H U novel and the sensational story are ' among the worst features in our Sunday * 4, j newspapers. They cannot be too strong* ' ^ ly condemned, and the worst of it is there ' x?""r,'r *• ^ seems to be no way of abating this liter- v; ary evil. The avidity with .which thisf v stuff is consumed creates a plentiful sup- , ply, and the amount of this mental rotl^gp that is devoured is inconceivable.
