A movement is on foot in New York
to raise funds with which to erect a
monument to General Hancock.
With the brilliant record made I'm be-
half of the Grant monument fund be-
fore them, the originator must p1ssess
considerable nerve to commence the
undertaking. About the most notable
thing in the statue line, that New
York ever enjoyed, was obtained by
their Dutch progenitors locating that
city 80 close to the island Of BetllOe,
that when France had presented it's
famous statue Of Liberty Enlightening
the World aud the United States had
built a pedestal for it, New York could
by the aid of it's powerful light, read
her millionare's subscriptions to the
Grant monument fund.

Statistics make an interesting study,
aud Outlines offer . strange and start
ling contrast to the vanished truth a
presented by various lnalcontents and
chronic pessimists. We have heard
FIR some time that the treasury was
bankrupt and our commerce totally
being swept away. But reports for the
month Of October show that our ex-
ports were the largest in the history Of
the nation. They amount to SlO2, 1888,
16 and exceeded the imports by $685..
lSS.l67. Exports for the twelve months
ending Oct. 81, 1891, were Of the value
Of $0S7, 066, 665, rs against $3.50, 677, l55
for the twelve months of one year ago.
October imports Ofgold exceeded the
exports by more than $1,000, 900.
The government Is fairly prosperous
and the calamity Of a ruined commerce
and . bankrupt treasury will hardly
fFighten the conservative, intelligent
American.

The latest reports from China show
that the outrages on foreigners still
continue, and the government either
cannot or will not take strong meas
ures to prevent 1t. The fact that the
reighing house being Tartars, and in
the minority by large number, may
account for the slOwness with which
they punish these criminal outrages.
But whatever 1t IL, foreign nations
should take more active measures to
compel them to act. The Chinese
seem unable to assimmilate with for
eign people and their customs. They

they look with suspicion upon all for
