Taking the aggregates Of our for
eiga trade for the last four years the
exports Of domestic products from the
United States have exceeded the i'm
ports more than seven hundred mill
ions of dollars. This is what is meant
by a favorable balance Of trade. There
are political economists, however, who
hold that if our imports had exceed
ed our exports by a similar sum We
would be all the richer. That is one
of the things that no one but an
expert political economist can cypher
out. IT'S better as it is and If It
were any other way resumption would
have a hard road TO travel.

Special Dispatch to the Enquirer.l
New HAVEN, Conn, August A.
A New Haven friend of the Rev. w.
Ii. H. Murray received a letter from
him this morning postmarked San
Francisco, July 26. The clergyman
lRote that the Murray wagon had
been received with great favor in the
West, and he hoped to start an agency
in San Francisco" The Boston Buck
board Company here supposed that
Mr.. Murray was in the A~dirondacks.
Mr.. Murray's female amanuensis is
not now with him. She parted from
him recently in the Adirondacks, and
within a few days wrote to friends
here from Saranac Lake, N. Y. Mr..
Murray's many friends in this State
express much sorrow for the troubles
that have come upon him, and insist
that when he hears the many rumors
about him now in circulation, he will
at once return and set himself right.
His friends say that he can easily raise
money enough to carry him through
his financial troubles, and that beyond
these troubles there is nothing wrong
in his personal relations with anybody.

In the California election canvass,
the notorious Dennis Kearney has a
ticket in the field, composed of nomi-
nees he seems to have suspicious about.
So dubious is he of his swn men, for
be dictated the ticket, that he has
proclaimed to his sand lot" followers
after this fashion: "Ifyou vote Work
ingmen's ticket into office you will
own them. If one of them weakens,
we will go to Sacramento with a coil
of rope and take the recreant official
from his Office, and with a rush of
profanity hang him to the first tree
or lamp-post." Those must be a nice
lot Of candidates, whether they deserve
such %imprecation or not.

Chicago Inter-0eean.l
Ex-G Governor Charles Anderson is
announced as one of the Greenback
speakers in Ohio. He is something Of
an orator but, in the days when he
was pulling with the Republican
party, he was so ready to yield to the
impulse to blaze away at random that
a crowd never knew when he took the
stand whether he would make a Re-
publican or a Democratic speech.
Many a time a pull at his coat-tail
informed the impassioned talker that
he was on the forbidden ground, If
the Piatt faction of the Greenback
party have a stalwart coat-tail -puller
in their ranks he should be sent with
Governor Anderson. If not, the lat
ter will get reused up some day and
make the wrong speech.
