So, 800, 600 in imports OF cotton gOous'
5000, 900 in earthenware, 100000 In fancy
goods. 50. 900. 900 in linen goods, $6OO,OOO III
furs. $4,000 in glassware, $3,6OO,OOO In
iron manufactures, So, 5000 in silk goods,
500. 600 in spirits, and 81, 500, 900 in wooilen
goods. These figures indicate a more perma-
nent change in the dependence of our people
mon foreign industries, but not so great
change as might at first view DC sup
posed. In part, the decrease of importa-
tons was due to the hard times, anu
70 greater economy in consumption, and
tho earlier reports for the new hscai
year already show that considerable increase
in purchases from abroad has commenced. oh
the Whole, it is fair to estimate that our I'M
ports of manufactured products VIII proDapIy
decrease during the current year quite as
much as our imports of manufactured pro-
ducts increase, so that the aggregate OF I'M
ports is not likely to be materially increased
or reduced.
Exports of manufactured products increase
from $72, G77O51 to $78,235,969, but there
are no changes of great magnitude IN
cotton goods, of which exports increase
So, 500, OOO in iron manufactures, which de-
crease 100000, in leather manufactures
which decrease 100000, and in firearms
and ordnance stores, which amount to SlO-
O07, 712 in 1S76-'77 against 81, S29,939 during
the year preceding In effect, the demand for
arms and ammunition arising from the war In
Europe, accounts for nearly the whole increase
of exports of this class, and we cannot count
upon this demand as permanent.
Looking to exports of manufactured articles,
is partly due to the war, but may be partly
permanent the aggregate being Sll4,ll6,-
800 against $S9,1170S2 last year. Beside
this increase of $25, 100000, we have gam
in value of oil exported, which amounted to
$61, 7S9, 43S in 1876-'77 against only $780,
715, 7S6 last year, and this is also an increase
which may be partly permanent and proSres-
sive. The same is true of the increase Of
about $6,OO0,0O0 in exports of tobacco. On
the other hand, exports of cotton declined in
value from 1892, 659,262 to $171, 11S,5O8, and
there is some reason for believing that, as
long as there is war in Europe, our exports of
this article may not greatly increase in value.
The exports of breadstufis were Pl17, SS4,5oo
against $131, 212, 473 last year, and here some
gain may be expected, unless the excessive
supply of grain should cause large decline
in price. There is a small gain in exports of
wood, vegetable oil, hops and coal and mod
crate loss in exports of hides and skins, but
these are neither important nor clearly perma-
nent.
On the whole, there seems to be good rea-
son to anticipate farther increase in exports
of crude domestic products, without material
increase in imports. The year ought to enable
us TO reduce our Indebtedness to foreign lands
quite largely, without any considerable ship
mcnt of specie.

handicraft, are absolutely certain to sink into
the great mass of pauperism at the bottom OF
society. They are sure to be confounded WIN
idle, vicious tramDs, however decent or anx-
ious to work they may be. Lizzie Lehman, to
speak plainly, tried to commit suicide, not so
much from lack Of work as OF common
sense. Outside of NewYork there is just now
plenty of work for strong, neat, willing women.
If she had spent the money which her lauda-
NUN and Paris green cost in an Intelligence
office, she would have found abundance OF APP
plicatlons for servants from keepers OF sea-
side and country resorts, who were willing to
nav So to mattresses and chambermaids, and
81 and upward to good cooks. Suppose she
had spent her money IN a railroad ticket. In
the height of the harvest farmers through
New-Jersey are glad to pay from $l oo 70
So for help, with good board.
In Delaware, too, in the peach-picking season,
all the working-women betake themselves to the
orchards, and it is almost impossible to get
servants for the indoor work. 1t is true, this
stress of demand for labor will last only for
six weeks. But an honest, active girl VINO
makes a good connection" in farming re-
gion, is not going to be left to starve. She
may be only offered her board and clothes and
a comfortable home for her winters work
But that is surely better than shame, starya-
ton or Paris green.

TheGeorgia Constitutional Convention disapproves
of some of Gen. Toombs's notions, and that explo-
sve person scorches the Convention by observing
that he could take Foster Blodgett and five mig
" gers and make a better Constitution IN five DAYS
than the Convention can make in five months. For
tunately for Mr.. Blodgett and the five nggers, the
State has not accepted the challenge. But Toombs
is not discouraged by trifles. He knows if he can
keep the Convention together long enough he can
carry his points by sheer WEAKNESS, and so he has
volunteered private loan of $25 900 to defray the
expenses of longer sitting. This means mischief to
the extraordinary document which has already been
concocted. The only escape of the unhappy mem
bers is TO accept TOombss money and expel Ioombs.

For a great many years the platform-buders at
political conventions have rarely been able TO frame
a symmetrical structure without nicely polished
plank in reference to the labor question. III was
such convenient timber to work in as an offset 10
the rights of capital! demOnstratlye convention
always went into parOxysms of applause when tine
chairman of the committee delivered the orthodox
resolution about labor and capital to the effect that
everybody ought to have "a just share OF the mutual
"profts of these twin servants of civilization" But
because these declarations meant nothing IL does not
follow that they have had no influence. The laDorer
has been taught that he had some special rights be-
cause no was labOrer; that some designing
parties were striving to rob him Of the rights that
they ought to be guaranteed to him by law that
his hope was from the Government rather than from
himself and that his &" comfort" was to be insured,
not by forethought and frugality and industry, but
by legislation Upon these ideas are based the pres
ent demands of labor And now the labor question
comes to disquiet the platform-buildeIs, for the
issues are emerging into definite shape, and what
they say must mean something. and 1t must be
said so plainly TOO that the aborer and everybody
else can understand 1t. Ii is by no means mistor-
tune that the politicians who have been playing
upon the prejudices and passions of an unreiecting
class by vague declarations about their rights should
now be compelled to lay down with precision the
boundaries of these rights, to state exactly now lar
the Government is to provide for the aborers com
"for - to name and describe the forces which are IN
league to Cypress him; and to point out clearly by
what methods and to what extent he is to be pro-
tected There are phases of the labor problem which
cannot be contemplated by thoughtful men without
misgyng; but one point toward their evolution

the clouds, and placed where they can be clearly
seen and weighed and measured.

The National Board of Trade urges Con-
gress to take measures for assembling an in
ternational monetary convention to establish,
"if possible, a permanent valuation between
"gold and silver" Such convention might
do good service by bringing light TO bear
on subject that has been much
befogged. But it would require greater
power than the assembled wisdom of mankind
to create a permanent valuation between
things that from day to day fuctuate in value
The resolution of the Board of Trade IS val
liable, however, as showing the general need
of enlightenment on the silver question.

The original programme of the Presidents
visit to Vermont and New Hampshire was con-
siderably extended because of the pleasant re-

the tourists everywhere encountered. Our

in New-England if the President had been
able to prOtract his visit.

Military operations at the Shipka Pass reject
more credit on the Russians than the Turks
Wbenslast month Gen. GhOurko assailed the
pass it had been fortified in the most thorough
manner but its defenders were comparatively
few in number, and lacked supply of water, al
though they had abundant provisions. The Rus-
slams took care to attack the pass from the north
as well as from the south, placing the Turks
between two fires. Alarmed by this double
assault with superior numbers, the Turks
abandoned their position, which the Russians
promptly entered, having lost less than 800
in killed and wounded. In their recent efforts
to recapture the pass the Turks have attacked
it from the SOUTH where the ascent
is steep and difficult. Accordingly Suleiman's
troops have had to advance, amid shower OF
proiectieS, against entertainments defended by
fourteen guns, and have each time been driven
back with enormous loss. 1t is evident that
the Russians have displayed celebrity, clever
strategy and foresight. The Turks, on the
other hand, Numbered when they lost the
pass so easily, and again in trying to retake

Hugh KeIIy,s Condition.

Hugh Kelly, the man shot on Friday
morning by Jimmy Ticket, on Ruby
Hill, is still living, and yesterday
rested considerably easier. His at
tending physician, DR.. A. C. Bishop, is
still fearful that the man cannot live,
the nature of the wound being such as
to warrant hat conclusion. Yesterday
morning District Attorney Merrill and
Judge Atwood went up to Ruby Hill
for the purpose of taking the anti
moriem statement OF the wounded
map. The facts narrated in the state
meut of Kelly are the same as given
in yesterday mornings SENTINEL up
TO the time of his entering Nick Wer-
ry's and going to his room. He said
he had just come off shift, which ac-
counted for the candlestick. He had
had no trouble with Tickle previous TO
this time. The friends of Kelly yes
day afternoon removed him TO more
comfortable quarters at the residence
of Mrs. Bowman on Ruby Hill. AT
ten O'Clock last night he appeared still
bette and strong hopes are now enter
tanned that he will recover. He has a
good chance for living should the
wound of the esopllagus heal suiii
GENTLY to allow him to partake OF
nourishment, and the indications last
night were that it would. We hope
that Hugh will still live to swing a
pick in the mines.

An Important Discovery.

Some time since Professor Stewart
said there was no coal to be found in
Eastern Nevada. In spite Of this de-
c%ision, the Pancake coal mine con
tinued to be worked with good results,
and gives great promise for the fu'
.ure. We have o another important
discovery to record. John s. Jones
and William II. Huse have been pros
pecting for some time on the Pancake
range of mountains, and have now
struck it at IA point on the sullivan
road, one and a half miles west of the
Pancake Coal Company's mine. The
vein is two feet wide and of a
quality of coal known as "binding
coal" considered the best. The rem
was struck after sinking a depth of Y
feet, and running a drift for the dis
lance OF 20 feet. The bottom of the un-
der lead is blue sandstone and the top
slate. The vein pitches to the south
east, and seems to increase in width as
it is developed. ,Messrs. Jones and
Huse have been prospecting in that
locality tor about n year. the above
vein was struck n year ago. They
are now engaged in extending the
DRIFT along the course of the vein.
