The Outlook is Mere Favorable. Excepting

New YORK. May I5.-R. G. Dun & Co s
weekly review of trade says: In every

coping large exports of gold and advance

obviously for the purpose OF drawing more
GOLD from this country. Receipts for Gus
tom duties ut New York are largely in sill
yer certificates and new treasury notes, no
less than 641s per cent for the first ten days
of May, but IL Is proper to remember that
the new treasury notes are rGdaema Die ''in

gold caused no panic ii this market. 1t is
significant for that the exports in April

oil and provisions, but u decrease in
cattle and in breadStufs, vet in breadstuffs
the decrease was wholly in corn and the
surplus of wheat available for export was,
May l. about 39,0O00O0 bushels. Exports
OF wheat from Atlantic ports have been
much smaller than year age, until last

while corn has declined &c and oats 21lc on
moderate sales. Pork, lard and hogs are
also lower and a heavy decline appears in
butter. Cotton, coffee and Oil are w
changed, and it is much more remarkable
as to cotton, because a much larger crop
than ever produced IS going to the market
more rapidly than ever before at this
season. Foreign manufacturers appear to
be laying in large stock because
prices are close to the lowest known for
forty years, while consumption abroad is
enormous and there are some signs that the
production Of goods exceeds the demand
Reports from other cities show moderate
distribution. At the South trade is sea-
sonably dull, with cotton in light demand

has made handsome profit out OF its
use. But fortune is against him. His
investment proves to be failure. He
can not carry out his original intent
to restore the distracted money,
and thenceforth the best he
can do is 10 cover up
the shortage by false entries and so
forth.
If the Judge twisted the law to shield
the prisoner, the jurors who knew the
ex-treasurer was guilty, should have
done their duty regardless Of captious
and partisan instructions from the
bench, and in vindication OF the
majesty OF the law. The jurors who
voted for acquittal betrayed a truck
ling and vacillating spirit akin to that
OF the New Orleans jury in the Malta
case.
OF course the Democratic party is
not TO blame for such an awkward mis-
carriage Of justice, but it will be sad
died with it all the same, and the
proud boast that, contrary to the GUS
tom among Republicans, it always
sends its rascals to the penitentiary,
will be flung back at it in mockery and
derision.

of Nebraska ousted the Democratic

SMALL MATTERS.

Sam Small, ex-editor, eX-attorney,
ex-minister, ex-evangelist, and now ex-
president of Utah college, hobs up
once more in the capacity of a tramp
so to speak, having quarrelled with the
authorities of the institution over which
he presided for several months past.
Being out Of job, Sam will probably
rc-dedicate himself to the Lords serv-
ice and go once more into the vineyard.
As a saver of souls in his own peripa-
tetic way, Sam is daisy. The only
drawback to him as an evangelist is
that he soon loses interest in the work
OF snatching burning brands from the
fire, and signs for fresh and more con-
genial employment. He has q fresh
access OF zeal for some new cause every
few months. and when the lit is on,
mark how he doth shake.

NEARING THE END.
THE PRESIDENT STEAMING TO.
WARD WASHINGTON.
Greeted at Harrisburg by Sea of Upturned
Faces-A Short Review of the Trip.
Wanamaker Leaves the Party.
Nearing the End.

HARRISBURG, Pa, May 15-From Altoona
to Harrisburg the trip was devoid of special
incident The ride through picturesque
Juniata valley refreshed the party, and
when they arrived here there was no APP
pearance of fatigue upon any face. 1t was
1915 when the train rolled into the station
and it remained for fifteen minutes. Wan
anaker took leave OF the party here and
boarded train for New York, whence his
family sails for Europe tomorrow. Before
leaving he took occasion to personally COM
pliment George w. Boyd Of the Pennsyl-
yania railroad upon his admirable manage
melt of the trip.
Adjt.-Gen. McClelland had stationed a
battery near the state arsenal overlooking
the railroad track, and when the train hove
IN sight the cannon began booming presi-
dental salute of twenty-one guns. This
was the signal to great crowd gathered in
the Pennsylvania railroad station, which
numbered now several thousand people,
and all pressed forward, 50 that it was with
much difficulty that the track could be
cleared for the incoming train. Great
cheers went Up, and before the train came
10 a Standstil men. women and children
pressed around il and the visitors looked
down upon a sea Of uplifted faces. In the
great crowd were state officials, members of
the legislature and citizens of the highest
decree, all anxious to pay their respects to

Speaker Thompson of the house of repre-
sentatives. Secretary OF the Commonwealth
Harrity. Adjt.-Gen. Mcclellan and Private
Secretary Tate were among the first to
board the train. The greetings of the
president and governor were exceedingly
cordial. After an exchange Of courtesies
the crowd was addressed briefly by the
president. He referred briefly TO his long
trip, now drawing to close, and thanked
the people for their hearty greeting. He
was followed by Wanamazer and Rusk.
At the conclusion of the speech-making the
train steamed south toward Washington.

a Grain Elevator.

The assurance of an immense crop of
wheat has caused the renewal ofthe project
to erect large grain elevator at
Fort Worth, in which q portion of
the surplus grain can be stored. With
the four Fort Worth -four mills in full
blast, the $4,000 bushels of elevator capac-
ity now in Fort Worth viii not amount TO a
great deal In fact, an elevator with million
bushels capacity in addition would not 20

AN alarming thought TO the people
OF the Northern states is that the birth
rate is so much greater in the South
than in the North. This has had the
effect of keeping the rate OF increase OF
population in the Southern states
ahead Of the North, Notwithstanding
that the greater part OF the foreign
immigration goes to the Northern
states. The South is taking care of
itself. and doing it well, when it comes
TO raising children.

A GROSS MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE.

There is nothing creditable for either
Judge or jury in the result OF the No
land enlightenment trial in Missouri.
The Judge before whom the case was
tried virtually instructed the jury to
acquit the ex-treasurer when he de-
clared that proof OF Noland's intent to
convert the money 10 his own uses, and
to deprive the state of it, must exist
before the jury could find him guilty
He admitted taking the money. There
was no room for denial, but he meant
at the time to restore it again, and on
that plea the judge thought he ought
to be acquitted. If that is good law,
then let all the statutes on defalca-
ton and ENLIGHTENMENT. On theft and
robbery, be given to the flames. All
that every convicted rogue, every de-
faulter and embezzler that has robbed
his employer or the state has to do is
TO take mighty oath that when he
took the money he intended to return
it again. Some trivial and specious
circumstances can always be adduced to
give color and plausibility TO the state
ment, for, as rule. that is the actual
intent Of the embezzler. He only means
to use the money for time in specu-
