ALL the financial reports plainly
prove that the United States is the only
leading nation in the world in which
general prosperity exists at the present
time. The foreign trade balance in
favor Of the United States during the
twelve months ended April 80, 1892,
was S179, 400, 514. The increase of ex-
ports of the United States during the
twelve months ending April 80, 1892,
was 1902 per cent. 1t is learned from
British authorities that there was a de-
crease in British exports during the
calendar year 1891 of So Fer cent.

SOME people are born freckled and
others have freckles thrust npon them.
The former class might as well accept
their freckles as a dispensation of Prov

American, by using acouple OF drachms

The life of an editor in Turkey is far
from being happy one. He is not al
lowed to publish novels that have not
been approved by a court official, petit
tons regarding abuses of the admins
tration, and must avoid the names Of
prominent people. If an officeholder be
accused of theft OF other crime the event
must be suppressed. Neither is it al
lowed to publish reports of attempted
murder of princes or riots in other coun-
tries. The editor is instructed to give
preference to all news regarding the
health of the emperor and his family,
the condition of agriculture and the
progress Of industry and commerce.

The tea plant can be grown as we'll
In many parts of the United States as
in any district of China, and from ex-
periments that have been made it is be-
lieved that the product is quite as good in
this country as, in the howery kingdom.
There is no probability that American
tea will ever compete with the Chinese
article, for the latter is manipulated
with labor so cheap that Americans
would starve to death on the wages.
Until the American laborer can live on
three or four cents a day no one
need expect tea will become an ex-
tensive article of production in this
country. H.

AT last the Grant monument fund of
100000 is completed, with $500 to
spare. 1t is nearly seven years since
the first contributions were made, and
up to two months ago little progress
had been made. Then Gen. Horace
Porter took the matter in hand and an
nounced his determination to complete
the monument without delay. Me-
mortal day was setsas the date for COM
plotting the fund, and the last dollar
was obtained within twenty -four hours
of thai time. New York city and the

France. A man who had been compro-

which shook the town like sharp
shock Of earthquake was heard at 1880
clock this morning, and it was fol-
lowed by the ringing of alarm bells at
Mare Island navy yard When the
great volume of smoke at the yard
cleared away, it was found that an ex-
plosion had taken place at the shell
house of the naval magazine The

The bodies we're greatly disfgured,
some being cut in two, and nearly all
minus a limb. Three wounded men

the explosion occurred. A working

States steamship Boston, which was in
the stone dock near by, had been sent
down to prepare ammunition and fill a
shell for the ship. All were at work in
the filing room of the magazine under
charge of Gunner Hittinger. It is sup
supposed that one Of the party dropped
a shell and the conclusion caused the
lexplosion.
