THERE is no earthly reason why
lawyers and doctors should not adver-
tise. What they have at their disposal
education talent, physical ability
and time-they want to sell. They
are In the market with their wares Just
as much as any dry goods man or gro
Ger is. A good many of them put on
considerable airs. as though they are
in some way superior to other bust
ness men, but they are as sharp after
the almighty dollar as any merchant
or store-keeper, have as rigid scale of
charges and demand their price as
firmly and sue in the courts as readily.
In fact they are men of business like
the rest with precisely the same am.
billions and motives. There is there
fore no reason why they should not
bring themselves and their wares to
the attention of the public in the
regular businesslike way.

New Jersey Peach Crop Immense,

BELLyIDERF, N. j., July 29.-The
crop OF premature or forced peaches
all through Huntendon or Warren
counties will be immense. The dry
weather and the tendency of the trees
to die prematurely have hastened this
result and thousands OF baskets OF this
sort Of fruit will be put on the market
in few days. The crop of good
peaches from Hunterdon will also be
large and many OF the more promi-
nent fruit growers have already made
market for the better peaches. The
orchards will yield on an average
l. 900 baskets although some of them
will not yield more than 200 or 500.

Chicago inspection on wheat and ~
Louis on corn and oats advancing pood
reasons in support OF his opinion.
MIR. Kendall of Lincoln agreed with
Mr.. Scott.
Mr.. Van Valksnburgh of Minden
was afraid that Chicago inspection was
rather rigid on wheat but would not
think it any great objection.
A. b. Jaquith OF Omaha, in response
to question. said that he believed
Chicago grades would be best for Ne
braska on wheat but suggested that
Minnesota had very good provision.
Under the inspection rules OF that state,
wheat which would grade No. 2, for
example. If cleaned would be gradet
No. with dockage to allow for the
dirt. This is an advantage to the seller
who is not in shape to clean his wheat
before shipping. The suggestion met
with general approval from the grain
men present who thought that SINH
lar provision should be made in the
Nebraska inspection.
At this point the talk became gen,
eral and the grain men gathered about
the tables where W. n. Mason. secre-
tary of the Omaha board OF trade. and
II. z. Thompson. the St. Louis in
spector. had placed in tins samples of
the different grades OF grain us in
spected in Chicago and st. Louis. The
examination OF these samples and the
discussion OF different topics connected
with the grain business in an informal
way, occupied the attention OF the COM
pany the balance OF the time. Mean
while Mr.. Koontz of the board of
transportation obtained the written
opinion OF those of the grain men who
had not already expressed themselves,
out 1t was found that there was prac-
tically no difference in their IDEAS as
TO what grades should be established
in Nebraska. The board has some
time yet in which to make up the rules
governing the inspection. but it is gen.
orally understood that they will follow
the plan suggested by the grain men
and adopt Chicago inspection on wheat
and St. Louis on corn and oats.
Barley, rye and flax did not receive
much attention as there is not much
difference in the grades on those grains
at the different points, but the general
opinion was that Chicago inspection
should be followed.
1t might be added that the board OF
transportation has now printed copies
of the warehouse bill which can be OBJ
tanned on application to the board.

| WASHINGTON, July 29.-1he bureau
OF statistics OF the treasury depart
ment has issued summary statement
and review OF the foreign commerce
and immigration OF the United States
during the fiscal year ended June 30
1891. 1t gives also a comparison OF
the imports and exports OF the past
nine months, during which the new
tariff law has been in effect as COM
pared with the corresponding nine
months OF the preceding fiscal year.
The statement says that the total
value OF the commerce OF the past
| fiscal year was the greatest in the his
tory OF the government and exceeded
| the total value OF the commerce of
1890 by the sum of So. 1871, S03. The
| commerce OF 1890 was the largest for
any year in the history OF the govern
ment up to that time, exceeding the
commerce OF the prior year by the sum
OF 1859. COG, 063. Our total commerce
to 81. 729. $50, S96.
During the year there was an in
crease in our imports OF merchandise
in the order OF magnitude in the fol-
lowing articles: Coffee, tin plates,
hides and skins. fruits, chemicals and
drugs. India rubber and guttapurcha
sugar and molasses, etc. There has
been decline in the value of our i'm
ports of wool and silk and manufac-
lures thereof. hemp and jute and man
features. breadstutfs and animals. The
total value OF our imports of merchan-
disc during the last year was 1914,
900, 49l.
The total value OF our exports OF
merchandise during the same period
was 1884. 424, 05S, which shows an ex-
cess in favor OF exports during the
fiscal Year OF $50, $40 9l4. There was
also an excess OF exports of domestic
merchandise over such exports OF the
prior year of $26, 9Il. 1877. The in
crease in these exports has been in the
following articles. stated in order OF
magnitude of increase: Raw cotton,
provisions, refined sugar. cotton man.
fractures copper and manufactures
thereof, iron and steel and manufac-
lures thereof. The value of the lead
ing articles exported from the United
States during the past year was rs fol-
lows: Cotton, 1920, 70S, sos; bread
stutfs, $l7, sos, 092; provisions $l3S,-
176. 63S.
Since the new tariff law has been in
operation from October 6. 1890, to
June 80, 1891, inclusive. the total
value OF the imports of merchandise
was $3.50, FOG, 005 as compared with
1898, 769, 900. The value OF such i'm
ports for the corresponding period of
1890 shows an excess for the nine
months of 1891 OF $31, 1876. 100.

THERE was time when men and
women of fifty-fve, sixty and sixty
five years were practically laid on the
shelf, forced into retirement and super
anuation, for two reasons. First be-
cause in the majority of instances at
that age then they were in fact super
anuated, and second, even when the
physical and mental vigor had not
abated, public sentiment was so uni
versally strong against old people,
people past fifty. that they were COM
PEELED to relinquish the struggle of
affairs and surrender it to those of a
younger generation. 1t is not so, at
least not to the same extent now that
1t was then. In these days a man of
fifty and fifty-fve, other things being
equal. is regarded as being just in his
prime and good for fully twenty years
more of active, efficient service. The
age line. or line of approximation. has
thus been sensibly advanced into the
seventies

The chairman then read the follow
ing letter:
WASHINGTON, July 29.-To tho Ex-
ecutive Committee OF the Republican
National Committee-My Friends and
Associates: Inasmuch as you are
| about to reorganize the executive CON-
mittee for immediate preparatory
work pending the approaching presi-
dental election OF 1892. and as my
business engagements will demand all
my time and attention during the COM
ing year. ! am compelled to sever the
pleasant relations which have existed
and still exist between us. there
fore tender my resignation OF the office
OF treasurer of your committee and of
the national committee. Respectfully
yours. w. w. DUDLEY
The committee Immediately adopted
the following resolutions:
Resolved. That while we are left by
General Dudley's own wish no other
course than to consent to his retire.
ment from the committee. we feel that
his action deprives the committee and
the party of the invaluable and loyal
services of one who has proved him
self one of the ablest and most faith
full public men of his time. In every
field of honorable contest and patriotic
purpose as soldier winning in his
boyhood the stars of general in the
union army, as public official. serv-
ing with equal fidelity his country in
prominent places, in the political field
with like ambition for the nations
good-he has proved himself always
always worthy Of the respect and ad-
miration OF his countrymen. In his
whole public career, in his unselfish
service, and with his generous nature
he has given freely his time and labor
never thinking of private profits or
personal emolument. His whole life
is proof OF his manliness OF purpose
and his patriotism as citizen. Speak
ing from what we know of his rare
abilities and unusual devotion to party
and country we would express this
evidence of what we know the repub-
lican party owes to him for his SER
vices in so many OF its contests and
especially in the memorable struggle
of 1888. We part from him officially
with sincere regret and in doing so
we wish to put in the records OF the
committee this expression of that
party's gratitude and personal friend
ship in which we know he is so worthy
to be held.
The resignation of Chairman Quay
and Treasurer Dudley were then ac-
cepted and laid on the table subject to
the approval of the full republican ma
