New York, August 10.-Wall street
was again surprised today concerning
the monetary trust. President Car
ley, in an interview at their offices in
Tower building, predicts that the
next movement of the trust will re-
turn profits to its customers of more
than 30 per cent in the early future.
The fact that the trust has made so
much money heretofore, combined
with the general cautionof the officers
has caused this bold prediction to at
tract much attention.

THE PRESIDENTS FOREIGN POLLY

The New York Herald says: N"There was
once an American who said: observe good
faith and justice toward all nations. Gull
tivate peace and harmony with all His
name was Washington. He was Eot a jim
go, but simply the wiseSt and most patri-
otto of Americans. 1t would probably be
useless to invoke his maine or commend
his teachings to the Campells and Chand-
lers, who have foreign policies of their
own. But the more rational Americans
those whose set led convictions finally eX-
press themselves in national policy-know
well that the words we have quoted indi-
cate the principles upon which President
Cleveland has guided the foreign policy of
the United States. And it is his conduct
of foreign affairs, and especially of recent
affairs, which gives him another title to
public confidence and constitutes another
reason why his party should nominate him
for third tenure of the chief magistracv
of the United States. The Splutter of jim
goism is thing which tends to bring this
country into contempt. 1.-THE jingoes had
their way, they would make the republic
the the scorn of Christendom. They have
provoked the ridicule of Europe by their
buster in portion of the press. Nothing
is so eagerly quoted abroad by the enc
mics of republican institutions and of the
American people. But the firm, moderate,
considerate policy of the President has kept
the honor of the country free from stain.

THE GOLD EXPORTS.

The New York Times says: 'With the
unexpected large shipments of gold this
week the reserve of the Treasury drops to
$S2,OOO,OOO A like draft next week would
bring it to S75,OOO,0O0, at which point it
has been reported that the \ administration
would deem it wise to strengthen the re-
serve by such means as are at its disposal
Meanwhile the decision of the Treasury
Department to sell gold bars at a premium
of one siXteenth-the stock of free coin ed
gold being low-may have certain effect
in checking exports, though how much
cannot be said.
The situation produces little immediate
disturbance, because entire confidence Is
felt in the ability and disposition of the
and because there is no possible chance OF
adverse positive action by Congress. Pub,
lie opinion also, it is now recognized, is in
a far healthier condition than it was in
February last, and is steadily improving
If any change in legislation is made at the
approaching session of Congress, it is
bound to be for the better. and no other
change is likely even to be agitatcd Thes,
experiences are troublesome and costly
but they are unavoidable until the currcn.

Mr.. Lowery, the secretary of Governor
elect Lowndes, was in Annapolis Monday
accompanied by Mrs Lowery. They called
at the executive department and were
presented to Secretary of State Colt. Mr.
and Mrs. Lowery went over to the cxecu-
tive mansion. accompanied by Messenger
Brooks. who is somewhat of landmark
at the State House, having occupied the
same position since 1893, when he was
appointed by Governor Hicks The object
of the visit of Mr. and Mrs Lowerv was
to ascertain what changes are necessary
for the reception of the incoming Cover
nor. The mansion was fonnd to he in
fairly good condition, but. of course, some
changes may be necessary to meet per
sonal tastes. 1t is believed Governor
Lowndes will spend considerable time in
Annapolis, and that he will fulfill his
trust in this and other respects in strict
accordance with the constitution

THE ATLANTA EXPOSITION.
TRIP OF THE MARYLAND EDITORS

DEAR ENQUIRER:-The Maryland Dem
ocratic Editors have been to Atlanta. a
party of 81 visited the Gate City of the
South" last week and had a glorious time.
| They saw the beautiful and progressive
town, visited the public buildings, viewed
the wonderful Exposition, were received
| by the Governor, entertained by the ge-
NAL editor of Tie Constitution. and return
ed home with happy hearts and minds fill
| ed with pleasant impressions of the Sun
ny South her hospitable people, and of
| the great Fair.
The following ladies and gentlemen
composed the party:
Mr.. W. W. Busteed and daughter, of
Ccntreville; Mr. and Mrs William NJ Alb
bolt, of Annapolis; Mr.. and Mrs. c. II.

of Laurel and Mr. and Mrs. Fred. SaSscer,
of Upper Marlboro.
Your correspondent was honored, in the
absence of the President and Vice Presi-
dent of the Association, by being chosen
the president pro TEN. of the party.
OF the many notable and interesting
things seen during our visit we can speak
only in a general way. And first it will
be in order to say something of Atlanta.
When in 1865 the burned city welcomed
back her scattered population of about TO-
600, and set to work to restore the ruins left
by Sherman's army, it was little thought
that in 30 years, her people would number
100. 600; that there would be diversified
manufacturing interests, and extensive
commercial enterprises extending all over
the South and Southwest. And vet such
is the case to-day. The traveller is amaz-
ed at the thrift, and energy and public
spirit everywhere evident. The city is the
distributing point for six states and is the
Southern headquarters Of large national
corporations having business in the South.
The climate is exhilarating and healthy,
the elevation of that portion of Georgia
being more than 900 feet above the sea
level. The State Capitol, which cost one
million of dollars, is designed after the
Capitol in Washington, and is very hand
some and imposing. Magnificent residen-
ces, the homes Of refined and cultured peo-
pie, adorn the principal streets and sub
urbs.
