For the last four OF five days there
has been IN allthe newspapers Of the
country a gorge Of speculation with
reference to the outcome Of the deliber.
alton Of the Democratic National Con-
vention at Chicago. The end is very
near. But the weather is hot and
we advise every reader to calmness. II
would need a gift approaching omni-
science to sift out the truth from the
food Of rumor. It will be best to keep
as cool as possible, and to await the
event with equanimity. The Conven-
ton can hardly 50 bungle the business
in hand asnotto make I winning choice

within an ace" of falling into the

Had Colonel Shepard's intimate friend,
Chauncey N. Depew, manifested more
alacrity in his behalf at tie psycholog-
ical moment the thing might have been
accomplished. There are limitations
that the Colonel would have gratefully
acknowledged the compliment by con-
trlbution of not less than seven figures
to the Republican campain fund.

Half d dozen towns are threatened
by the weakness of the impounding
dam Of the big reservoir of the Potts
vile Water Company. and signals
have been arranged along the valley
so that the inhabitants may have time
" warning should the dam give way.
An imprisoned body of water is in sea-
sons of food an unruly and dangerous
nelghbor. against which the most care
ful precautions are sometimes unayail-
ing. Constant watchfulness is the
plain duty Of communities thus menac-
ed, and to such voluntary, effort should
be addeda system of State supervision
and inspection of dams by which the
danger might be minimized.

. Chicago has not, according to all ac-
counts, maintained its reputation as
the champion convention city this
year. Complaints of eStortionate
charges contrast unfavorably with the
Overlooking hospitality of Minneapolis.
The imperfectly built leaky wigwam
seems to- be poor affair compared
with the Convention Hall at Minneapo-
lis. Of course, the Windy City has
less at stake. Conventions come TO
it without asking for them scarcely,
while Minneapolis had its reputation
to earn. It's people proved themselves
fully alive to the value of the adver
tisement which the convention gave
them, and the Importance Of having
their visitors carry off good impres,

they managed the convention helps
outsiders to understand the secret o.

 The bureau of statistics has this week furnished the statement for December and the twelve months, and by compar- ing it with the statements for the years preceding we discover a number Of very prominent characteristics. To cite On- ly the more important of these, we find:
 FIrst-That We imported more wheat and flour than ever before in any period of twelve months.
 Second-That we also exported mo-e cotton than in any previous year.
 Third-That our total merchandise exports have never been equHlled.
 Fourth-That our imports have lik3- wise been unexcelled.
 FIfth-That the total trade Gmports and exports combired) is far in excess of that of any other year.
 October was the first month to break the record, with exports of sl02,877,24 Iris was followed in November by still better results, namely, total of 5l10,- IO3,537 and now for December, as stated, We have an aggregate but a trIfe below s12O,OO0,OOO.
