4 Business Man.

We do not think that anyone need feel
anxiety lest the present governor of
Pennsylvania die of brain trouble so
little brain does he seem to have 10
trouble. There was an amusing
interview held with him the other
day by representatives of the
city of Philadelphia who wanted
him to recommend the legislature to
make an appropriation towards improv.
Ing the harbor and buying the islands in
it In front of the city. The only question
q the matter was as to the propriety Of
the states contributing to work that
was properly that of the national govern.
ment, and that no part Of Pennsylvania,
but Philadelphia, was interested in.
But that did not trouble the governor
ee all. He was easy on that score and
ready to recommend an appropriation.
Bat he was greatly troubled that the com.
mittee did not tell him just how much
they wanted. He must have, as a bus;-
ness man, business proposition to sub
init to the legislature; and he stuck
70 this rotion, after it was frequently
suggested to him that it was not neces.
sary to demand any specific sum, which
might well be left to the legislature TO
fx and finally the governor succeeded In
nagging the committee into naming a
quarter Of million as the figure and
he was happy.

Mr.. Frye made great noise In his old

whenever he thinks he sees an excuse,
but since his failure to show any disposi.

senator's an opportunity In that direction,
he can only be considered q, war pup. He
had been yelping 6ercely about twisting
the tail Of the British lion, but when
the president suggested retaliation Mr..
Frye relap,ed into silence. Now he
ventures to open his cavernous Jaws to
howl about the German outrages In
Samoa, but he will gain small applause.
Everyone knows that the administration
is zealously guarding our interests and
national dignity and does not need the
assistance Of Frye. Nobody knows ex.
actly the true state OF the somewhat
tangled Samoan case, but diplomacy Is q
delicate business and all good citizens are
content to leave it In the hands Of the
trained experts OF the state depart.

agreeable position for the man who is
capableof meeting and enjoying its social
requirements. 1t gives him a place
among fhe chiefs, up at the very

Depew might talk in England freely

like this. He has been under deep obli-
cations to the reporters who have enabled
him to keep his name constantly dancing
before the public; and that is fame, some
folks think. Mr.. Depew might have been
president Of one Of the chief railways Of
the country all his life, and still have been
unknown. In truth great railway presi-
dents do not pose before the public, lack

THE report OF the chief OF the bureau O,
statistics on the foreign commerce OF the
United states for the year ending June
5O.h, lsSs, has been issued. 1t shows a
dtcresse OF $40 29s, ,7O4 in the value OF the
exports OF merchandise and an increase
OF sSlr 637 rSi6 in the value OF the Imports
OF merchandise. The imports exceeded the
exports by more than twent ty- eight million
dollars It's shown that our exports have
shown a decrease from the figures
OF 1881 every year since, while i'm.
ports show an Increase In the
same years excepting in 1885 and lsss,
when they were less than In 1881. The
recent decline In the value of exports and
imports Is sscribed TO the decline OF prices
al home snd abroad. Our foreign com.
merce amounted to l,424, lle 500 but the
foreign commerce OF Great Britain In the
ssme time amounted to -, l29, ia, 1863 !:
Germany, 2,225, ,6S2 e62 France, $l,77l,.

na'ions In tho value OF our commerce, but
more than IS per cent. OF the vessels sailing
from our ports are foreign, and American
tonnage at our sesports continues TO de-
crease. Only lS aS per cent. OF our foreign
trade, measured by Its value, Is carried In
home vessels, while S0,93 per cent is
carried IN foreign vessels Only 7.45 Der
cent OF 1t is conducted In steamers bearing
our nag, "while 10. l3 per cent, with all its
prohts and the employment OF capital and
