THE excess of exports over I'M
ports for the twelve months ended
June 80, was S167, 1859. This is
extraordinary, in view of the heavy
increase in the imports during the
year. The volume of business with
foreign countries was larger than
during any preceding year in the
history of the country. The value
of imports exceededthat of the pre-
vious year by 1927, 100000, and had ii
not been for the great increase OF
exports ($125,OOO,OOO) there would
have been only a small balance OF
trade in our favor. The figures OF
our foreign commerce are suggestive
of the increasing prosperity of the
country.

'Texarkana has had visitation

Capt Sparks went into Hille-

Joe Howell, son of a minister of eff

a fast young man, became a gambler.
and soon built up his reputation by
killing a man named Simmons, in
Louisiana. He got away and went
to Mexico. and thence, in conse-
| quence of trouble there, he escaped
TO Texas, and set up as faro dealer
at Terrell. From here, ON account
of inquiry from Louisiana. he went
to Leadville. and the vicissitudes of
reckless life removed him from
there to Fort Griffin. where he was
known as Ed. Forrest, and where a
few days ago he met the usual fate.

murder in the first degree at Groes-

liam Sims was shot in the back he
fired two balls into the PROSTATE

was reversed by the court of appeals,

been made life Imprisonment. Give

The Express says: The Sunset
route is getting up another expedi-
ton to the Climate mountain mining
country. The recent explorations
in that country proved beyond doubt
the fact of the existence of very
rich silver ore in the greatest abun-
dance, and the expedition which
will shortly take the field, will be to
continue the explorations, and go
deeper in the earth, as the only
means of determining the real value
of the ore. A crusher, borers and
regular miners outfit, has been or
dered, and is now on the way here,
from New York, and as soon as the
machinery and implements arrive,
the expedition will be inangurated.
Competent men will be placed at
the head of the expedition, and the
work assigned it will be thoroughly
discharged.

no doubt about the denomination of

Dallas Times saws of this report that
it is emphatically untrue in every
particular, and explains: The Gal

present and knew nothing of what
did transpire, There were but six
anti-ROberts men who voted on the
proposition. the other two having
stepped down to the hotel-Lancas-
ter being local option town. These
two. or at least one of them. knew
the resolution would come up. 1t is
strange that paper which processes
independence and prides itself upon
giving the truth in its reports should
allow itself to be imposed upon in
such manner. Its agent here. we
believe, is not in the city, and the
dispatch must have originated with
some one of the newspaper frater-
nifty here, who was Indifferent as to
whether the Ne,cs received the truth
or not. We can substantiate, by the
affidavits of fifty good men of Dali
las and Ellis aounties, that the dis
patch is untrue throughout"

WAR EXPENSES EoLrPsED.


Secretary Sherman has publish
ed what he claims to be a state
ment of the cost of the late war, but
an examination of his figures shows
that even this official statement is in
the nature of a partisan paper
which it is intended shall be used to
be tackled on to the bloody shirt in
the canvass. 1t is suggested that
this statement is laid before the pub
lie, somewhat in the nature of the
Secretary's monthly financial state
ments, while a candidate for the
presidential nomination, in which it
was evident that his candidacy for a
few years would have completely
wiped out the public debt. 1t is a
notable fact, since the prize at
Chicago was awarded to Garfield,
that this deep interest in
the reduction of the public
debt has decreased, and instead
of monthly reductions of ten,
fifteen or twenty millions, the debt
is absolutely being increased. In
making up the table of the cost of
the war, Honest John" has made
the figures, as far as possible, SUBJ
serve the interests of his party.
Some of the items included in the
cost of the war are simply ridicu-
lous. For instance, 1910 expended
in capturing JEFF Davis and $4,000
paid for Ford's Theater, the scene of
Lincoln's assassination, are put
down as war expenses, and vet they
are no more such than are the Sec
retary's salary. Still the figures are
so arranged as to present the appear
ance of truth, and they are calculated
to persuade the people of the North
that they expended Sc, 1S9, 929, 90s to
preserve the Union. He should re-
member that even this sum, as made
up by him, represents a depreci-
ated currency, and that instead
of being paid out for the sbso-
lutte necessities of war, it repre-
sents as to the benefits of specu-
lators and the favorites of corrupt
government. This would make the
real cost of the war about $780,
100000, the balance being chargable
to jobbing and peculation, and
to-day in the pockets of the leading
statesmen of the Republican party.
While Mr.. Sherman's estimate of
war expenses is used to lead to the
condemnation the Southern people
for holding out in war for indepen-
dence, the country would bepleased
to hear at an early day from the
same source as to the losses to the
government, since the war, in rob-
berry. through Federal officials, the
chosen agents of Republican adj
ministrations. 1t is said that the
corruption of these officials has
cost the government much more
money than the war, and Secretary
Sherman's department has been one
of the most fruitful means by which
the public has been robbed of un-
told sums of money. These
are the reasons, and not be-
cause of the war, which should
be forgotten. that people de-
sire change in administration at
Washington. The Augean stable
must be cleaned, and Gen. Hancock
has been chosen for this purpose.

JAY GOULD has laid aside his
prejudices against newspaper re-
porters long enough to tell one that
Garfield will not be elected. Touch
ing this fact the St. Louis Times
says:
Mr.. Jay Gould's power is very
great. He used it vigorously to
beat Grant at the Chicago conven-
ton. For that purpose he used
Blaine as the readiest instrument al
hand. 1t did not follow, however
because he destroyed Grant with
Blaine that he wanted Blaine nom
mated. Garfield has been the most
humble survivor he has had in con-
gress. On general principles he
would prefer Garfield to any living
man as the Republican nominee
Garfield's power was great, and Gar.
field was nominated. Now Gould
volunteers the opinion that Garfield
will be beaten. The Democratic
managers would do well to watch
Mr.. Gould from this on, just as the
Grant men would have done well tC
have watched him a little closer
during the canvass that preceded
Grants overthrow and Carrie d't
triumph.

Having heard, very often through
the columns of the Telegram and
one or two other anti-Roberts pa
pers, that somebody was going to
beat the Old Alcalde, with breath
less anxiety we proceeded to a
canvass of the votes in counties now
heard from, with the result shown
in the following table. The anti
Roberts vote in the second column
of figures is to be credited to Savers,
Lang and gentleman named Wood,
from Wood county, from whom the
county was named. These four
votes, it is expected, will turn up at
Dallas for the Old Alcalde. The
canvass shows:

1T is understood that Gen. Grant
will receive salary of $4,000 as
president of the New Mexican Min
ing Company, which position he has
just accepted. He did not close
with the offer without consideration,
and the principal object of his visit
to New Mexico seems to have been
to examine the mines of which he is
