U The New York Bulletin, referr-
ing to the commerce of the United
States, says:
Every country whose trade is in a
healthy condition naturally shows an
excess of imports over exports, the
difference being set off by the profits
on the articles exported and by va
rious charges which come to the
shippers or ocean carriers. This was
the rule in the, United States. From
1890 to 1860 there were So years
during which the imports exceeded
the exports, TO the aggregate amount
of 1906, 90l,9 and but Is years in
which the exports exceeded the i'm
ports, the excess in the latter case
aggregating $247,O64,O75 Since
1860, that is from 1861 to 1873, in.
elusive, the same rule has prevailed,
the imports having aggregated for
the whole period $5.352.572. 1868,
against $4,S73. $50. .664 Sgo!d value)
of exports. During this period. how
ever. the exports. with profits. ETC..
added. have not sufflced to liquidate
the imports, and hence large amounts
of securities have been sent out to
balance the deficiency.

.eNOw What are We to DO2',

Editing a paper is a nice bust
ness. If we publish original matter
they damn us for not giving selec-
tioEs. If we publish selections
folks say that we are lazy for not
writing something they have not
read in some other paper. If we
publish jokes people say we are rat
tleheaded. If we omit jokes they
say we are an old fossil. Ii We give
a man a complimentary notice we
censured for being partial. II we
do not give complimentary notices
folks say we are hog. If we do
not give cater to the wishes OF the
ladies the paper is not fit to make
a hustle. If we remain in our office
and attend to our business, folks say
we are too proud to mingle with
our fellows. If we 60 out they say
we never attend to our business
If we do not pay our bills promptly
folks say, we are not to be trusted.
If we pay promptly folks say we
stole the money. five wear poor
clothes folks say business is bad.
five wear good clothes they say we
never paid for' them, Now, what
are VIC TO 10?

THE TRAMP.
BY LON HOLDING.

IFrom the Madison Qnd.) Courier.l
On a morn in dreary winter
Came a worn and weary printer
With his bundle on splinter
Ger his back;
Travelled stained he was, and needy,
And his appetite was greedy
For smack
For the printing Office steering
Till within the door appearing,
Where he bowed, as one revering
When he spoke,
Saying, in voice as solemn
As gratis Buchu column,
al am broke"
In your city I'm stranger,
Dusty, seedy as Granger
For slumbered in a manger
OF barn
desire some small donation
And some easy transportation
For my CORN.
Boat tried to work my passage,
Movirg freight and rough expressage
Living on bologna sausage
Dry and poor
But they found was printer
And they hustled me instanter
TO the shore.
Then I sadly recoIected
Days when printers wire respected
For their skill. Now I'm elected
Fore and aft,
Just because SOME nave by drinking
Set the steamboat men to sinking
ALL the craft,
Thus do sober workmen suffer
By the vices of the 1oafer,
Till indeed whene're go for
Work shrink,
Lest another's imposition
Throws on me foul suspicion
That 1 drink.
Deeply does it wound and grieve me,
When a man viii not believe me,
But. dear sir, if you will give me
Fifty cents,
I will, by IFS proper using
Show you Pm above abusing
Confidence"
BY his doIefuI conversation
Reused he our commiseration,
And we made the "sman donation ~
When he sunk
But while going to our dinner
We observed that hardened sinner
Beastly drunk
Thus do sober workmen suffer
By the vices Of the loafer-
Bassets coin viii often go for
Purest stamp,
Kindest ones who most have trusted
Are most thoroughly disgusted
With the tramp.

Hebrew Authors In the United
States

Although Hebrew ceased to be n living
language about two thousand years ago,
says the Nation, Hebrew literature did
not come to an end with the Old Testa-
ment-On the contrary, there grew up
among the Jews" the people of the
book, ;" as the Koran styles them-an inn
mediately rich post-biblical literature;
and even at the pfesnt time many Hebrew
books are still written and published,
particularly in Eastern Europe. In
America, thus far, only one Hebrew
work has been produced, viz, {" Abney
Yehoshu'a "a commentary on tractate
of the Mishuah, called AbOth, by Josh
ua Falk, which was printed In this city
in 1850 1t is possible that some other
Hebrew authors may have come over TO
this country; hut, if so, we believe none
of them found enough stimulous in the

SAM RANDALL.
His Chances for Being Next
Speaker of the House.
Washington Correspondence of the Springfield
Republican.


Washington Correspondence of the Springfield
Republican.
Mr.. Randalrs friends here say that
he will sweep the caucus for Speaker !:
that he will get more votes than all
his rivals combined. This may be a
mistake. but it seems clear to me
that he has been gaining ground of
late. In any contingency but this
the Southern Democrats would not
touch him, for Sam Randall is a gen.
uine Democrat plain. simple and
exceedingly modest in his way of
life. He is no associate of Southern
aristocrats. and ordinarily, they
would not take him up. They would
now greatly prefer Wood with his
intellectual iciness, but Randall is
hearty. honest and exceedingly pop
ular. Everybody likes him. he is
smart and would make good presid
ing officer, understanding as he does,
parliamentary law better than any
other Democrat in the new House.
But, politically, the Democrats would
do better to take Kerr, unless Ran
dalrs personal popularity can make
itself felt throughout the country
where he is not known. For it is
everywhere knows that he was an
active advocate of back pay, taking
it most thankfully. He has very
moderate notions for a Democrat in
regard to Southern affairs. He be-
lieves in the sacredness of the Ma
tional debt, and IN giving the colored
people equal rights. In regard to the
currency. he is sound, believing in
specie payments as soon as the
thing is possible.

No city upon this continent can show more
men of solid wealth than San Francisco.
Mines of fabulous possibilities pour their div
idends into the pockets Of the Licks, the
Lathams, the Sharons, and the Haywards.
Many her citizens could sell out at month s
notice for $5,O00,O00 each. Palaces have
risen from silver bricks, and the proudest
buildings in this city owe their origin to ores
and bullion n--C Chicago Inter- Ocean,
This was true enough three months ago,
but the Inter- Ocean is one of those old fogy
journals which do not keep pace with the
times Lick, Latham, Sharon and Hayward
are all poor men. Worth S., 900, 900! Well,
yes; they may be worth that paltry sum. So
are Reese, Mills, Luning, Baldwin, Lux, Mil
Ter. Jones and Stanford. These are only our
''well-to-do" citizens, men of ''comfortable'
incomes-our middle class. Our rich men the
Inter- Ocean has not named. They are Mack
ey, Flood, O'Brien and Farr. Twenty or
thirty millions each is but moderate estim-
ate of their wealth. Mackey is worth from
sixty to one hundred millions.
They have not heard of our new bonanza
in Chicago, lump of silver ore as big as
their Grand Pacific Hotel, worth 800 to
$50, 900 per ton, so far as ascertained, while
its depth, breadth and thickness has not yet
been reached. In small interior village
like Chicago, man worth a million is es-
teemed wealthy. Not so in the grand COM
mercial emporium of the Pacific Here we
speak as familiarly of millions, as maids OF
thirteen speak of puppy dogs. Five million
dollars, indeed! Even New York, London,
Frankfort, and other cities can boast of their
tive-mllion men. We do not call person
wealthy unless he advances beyond the tens
of millions. Next year we will speak of
those who possess hundreds of million.-Snn
