AN ACCIDENT WHILE HUNTING.

Last Friday morning while out hunt
ing near Tar Springs, Harry Hambleton
accidently discharged his gun and the
charge lodged in the lower limbs of
Smith English at close range. The par
ticulars are about ss follows:
The two Nimrods left the city early in
the morning intending to hunt in the
Tar Springs neighborhood where game
was reported TO be plentiful.
About 10 o'clock they were crossing
Tar Fork on log. English had passed
over and was standing on the bank about
twenty feet away. Hambleton was still
on the log and as he sprang off the log
the hammers Of his gun caught in some
brush and the piece was discharged.
Almost the entire charge struck his COM
panion in the legs just above the knees.
Hambleton is a boy only about fifteen
years old, and he was much frightened
at the accident. English told him to go
for help and he Immediately set ont.
He first went to the Tar Springs, which
was only about quarter of a mile dis
tant. Here he found nobody, not even
a keeper. He then went to Alarm house
some distance away and got man to as
sist him. English was removed with
some difficulty to the Tar Springs, where
one OF the cottage doors was broken in.
A fire was kindled and the wounded
man was str, tched before II on the floor
and made as comfortab e as possible
Hambleton then came TO town and
notified DR.. Simons, who arrived at the
Springs about o'clock in the afternoon.
English was brought home in a carriage
and when his wounds were dressed it
was found that about 10 shot had enter
ed one leg and about twenty were in the
other.
Smith English is son OF Capt A. S.
English and is a young man about % years
OF age. He was doing as well as could
be expected y, sterday, and will get well
il nothing TO his disadvantage comes up
in the future Harry IIamblcton, the
boy who shot him is a son OF James
Hambleton.

The protracted meeting which has
been in progress at the Baptist church,
continued all this week in spite Of dis
agreeable weather, and the interest is
undated. Rev. DIR. Solomon announced
that he will hold services every night
so long as the crowds attend and the
evidences that the services are doing
good are so manifest. Seldom have the
young people, and especially the young
men, attended church SO regularly, and
the fact that several of them united with
tine church is having good influence on
the others. DIR. Solomon is expecting
help for the latter part of this week.

Death of Waller Haynes.

Waller Haynes, died suddenly in Lou
isville last Sunday night from the effects
OF surgical operation.
His death was great surprise to his
friends and relatives here and at Halves
vile, as none OF them knew that he had
been operated upon or was even danger
ously i'll. He has been in bad health from
childhood and went to Louisville some
weeks ago to put himself under the care
of eminent physicians. They deemed il
necessary last Tuesday TO remove tumor
from his left side, from the effects Of
which he succumbed Sunday night, as
stated above.
Waller Haynes was an estimable young
man Of prominent Hancock county
family, and was Individually wealthy.
He was admired and loved by all who
knew him and he made lasting friends
wherever he went. lie was as gentle
loving as a child and always had the
most sympathetic feeling for his fellow
man. His big heart was always full of
the milk OF human kindness, and he has
given more away TO the poor and needy
than many men have made. His place
can never be filed in the hearts OF his
family and friends. fAN
His remains passed down on the Texas
train Monday night and were deposited
in their last resting place at Hawesvllle

SWAPPING PRODUCTS.

The balance of foreign trade last year
showed S202. S75 ESQ in favor Of the United
States. IL spite of this favorable balance
we are sending gold abroad in considerable
quantities. This peculiar state of affsirs
leads contemporary to question if selling
$1,000, 600. 600 worth Of products and receiv-
ing in return but $500, 0O0. 600 is profitable
trade. Under ordinary conditions selling
1000 COO 600 and buying $500, 100000 would
leave a balance of S200. GOO, 600 coming to us
in coin. This would certainly be profitable
trade. Every civilized nation in the world
is trying to exchange its products for coin.
The exchange is so profitable hat if nation
cannot in a certain year or period of years
get the average Tices for its staples ii takes
less rather than not sell. The United
States sends its grain and its cotton abroad
in the face of falling market Brazil sells
lis eOffees and Cuba its sugars for what
these products viii bring. Great Britain
has followed up falling market for her
manufactured goods in the United States,
and still does so. despite the high duties
levied on most OF her products. Thus we
see that ell nations want to sell their COM
modities for money. Now when the United
States sells $500, 600 900 a year in excess OF
its purchases, it has that amount coming to
it in money or in some kind of American
secursities. There may be a period. as
there is at present, when the 5000. 600, 900
does not appear in bodily form. The amount
may be paid for one or even for two or
three years by the return of American
securities held abroad. But when such
American debts have been paid. payments
for goods must be made in money. There
are, however, some offsets. II is estimated
that immigrants returning to Europe for
visit take one year with another S25, COO. 600.
Probably American tourists and residents in
Europe drain the country for another S25,-
0o0000 There are hundreds of rich Ameri-
can families who live in Europe on the
proceeds Of American property. There is
a small European travel this way. but in
significant in comparison with the American
travel eastward. There is another drain
which is not much considered All the
profits on foreign capital invested in this
country are paid in money. Such pro6ts do
not appear in the commercial balance sheet.
They would have to be paid if the trade
balance was against US. While these sew
eral drains count we'll up into the tens of
millions they do not consume the $500, coo, coo
trade balance in our favor. We are doubt
less being paid for our products in bonds
held by foreigners. 1t is possible that un-
dervaluations of imports would reduce the
$500, 900, 600 recorded in our favor, but prob
ably not very largely. The $500. 5000 bal
ance may be Whitfield down considerably
but very substantial sum will remain to
our credit.

A SMOOTH TALKER.

Senator Hill SAYS that there will be no
combinations against Cleveland. Both him.
self and Murphy will be obliged 10 support
a Democratic administration, whether they
like Cleveland or not. In its general sense
this remark is true. Democratic Senators
will be expected to support Democratic
measures. They will not vote against the
confirmation of any nomination by the
President that is not VIGOROUSLY unfit. But
in the life of an administration, especially
toward its close, differences of opinion are
apt to occur within a party. There will
also be diverse interests in regard to the
succession. The present political situation
promises a number Of these points of differ
ence. When the Democrats frame tariff
bill they will find that the party is not a
unit on the ariff-for-revenue-only principle.
If the administra ton adteres closely to the
Chicago platform the incidental protective
element in the party Will protest; il the
administration disregards the Watterson
plank there will be an equally vigorous pro-
test from the radical tariff reformers. The
silver question will also prove source of
discOrd. Cleveland is gold standard man !;
Hill has voted for free silver coinage.
Cleveland is regarded as hostile to the prop
osition TO extend the aid of Government 10

this proposition Is not known, but il he
wants to supplant Cleveland in the leader

THE HARBOR COMMISSION AND
POLITICS.

The terms Of two Harbor Commissioners
viii soon expire. Governor Markham will
nominate men to fill these places as they
become vacant. Ga many occasions places
en- the Harbor Commission have been coh-
sidered as the spoils of politics. Men who
had pull were thought in some quarters
10 be eminently qualified for this Office. 1t
was not held to be necessary that they
should know anything about the CONNER
cal requirements of the metropolis Of the
Paclf. Coast.
In the early history Of the Rarb0r Com
mission. ana for second period during the
terms Of Governors Booth, Irwin and Stone
man, there were many instances where
men were elected or appointed to these
fIices who knew something about CON-
meTce, and were capable and honest. They
were business men rather than sp0ilsmen.
Some excellent work was done in those
happy periods. Had all the Commits
sioners from first TO last been Of the
same high character. 1t is probable that
the seawall from Van Ness avenue to
Channel street would have been CON-
pleted some time ago. The plan Of issu-
ing bonds to construct ferry buildings
would never have been submitted as there
would have been money enough in the
treasury for that purpose without in any
way abridging operations nece ssary to
keep the completed seawall in good condi-
ton.
The incomplete condition of the work
to-day can be clearly traced to jobbeTy-to
the policy which assumed that the HarbOr
Commission was to be used to pay men for
political serVlce-that partisans who had
rendered the party in power some service
4 sr,st 4
these Offices. The result has been that i'm
mense sums have been diverted from the
work of construction and wasted or stolen.
And yet so lax is the administration OF JUS
tice that only two high officials engaged in
the construction of the great work have
brought up in the penitentarY. Perhaps
incapaety has had as much to do with
Tetarding work on the water front as the
downright dishonesty SO conspicnously dis
closed on many occasions in the courts and
elsewhere.
1t is possible now for Governor Markham
10 give the great work a new start. The
present commission is inefficient, 10 say the
least. 1t needs new blood of the right
kind. Let the Governor rise to the occasion
and appoint two men who can each be relied
upon to fiji the Office of Harbor Commits
sioner as efficiently and honestly as the
same places were filed by such men as Nc
RaeT. Soule. Blanding, Irwin and Wise
There were some other equally good Com
miSsioners, and under their administration
satisfactory progress was made. 1t should
not be difficult to secure the services Of
equally able and honest men now. But any
candidate urged by the railroad power will
only fasten the "Old Man of the Sea" on Us
tighter than ever. Obviously one if not
both Of the new Commissioners should be
selected from the leading business men Of

ANTI-TAMMANY COMBINATION.

1t is rumored that ant-Tammany Demo-
Gratis and Republicans will combine in the
New York Legislature TO cut down Tam
many's patronage of the S33, 100000 which
the municipal government Of New York
annually costs. Something like S6.000,O00
might be saved without serious detriment
TO public institutions. There are sixteen
Police Judges, whose salaries are $1,000 a
year each. 1t is not on record that New
York Police Judges are superior body of
men, yet they draw from the public treas
ury twice as much as our Superior Judges.
IL is not supposed, however, that the Police
Judges have all this salary to themselves.
Their salaries are made high that they may
contribute to the resources of the appoint
ing power. If the anti-Tammany Demo-
Gratis and Republicans can make their plan
work the power OF Tammany will be ia
some measure impaired. The real source
OF the power OF that organization Is in the
immense patronage at It's command. A
politician. unless be is a Tammanyite, can
not get within sight of the public crib
