INCREASING BUSINESS.

In these dull times, says the San An
tonic Express, it is most satisfactory to
note that the business of the Southern
export points in the south, is steadily
increasing. The figures for the ten
months ending Oct. 81, 1896, as compar-
ed with the ten months ending Oct. 81,
1895, show gain OF Sc, 100000 in the
value OF exports from southern ports,
this gain amounting to SO per cent Of
the total export in 1895. The rate of
increase has been steadily increasing
during the past few months, that for
October last being higher than any
previous month. The total value of
exports for October, 1896, from south
ern ports was $40, $50, $40, against $751;
497, S62 last year, gain of $4,000 600,
while the increase in October exports
from the entire country was only $780,
600, 900. Thus from southern ports
there was gain for the
month of $4,000, 900 against
gain from all other United
States ports of only $4,000. The most
remarkable gains were made by
Galveston and New Orleans, the increase
from the former port for the month
having been nearly 81 900, 900 aud from
the latter SIS, 900, 900, in both cases the
increase for the month having been
largely over 100 per cent. Com parin q
the value of exports for the ten months
of 1896 and 1895 the gains at leading
ports were as follows: Newport News,
So, 900, 900; Norfolk, s., 800, 600; Wilmin-
ton, ST. 700 900; Corpus Christi, 81 500
600: Galveston, SI3. 300, 600; Mobile,
81, 700, 600; New Orleans, SO, 900, 900;
Baltimore, Sl6,OOO,O 900; Pensacola, ST.

Our Rangers.

In his report 10 the governor, Adj.
Gen Mabry calls attention to the fact
TIN at this branch of the service has been
very active ami has done incalculable
good in protecting the sparsa!y settled
sections Of the state, where the local
officers, from the very nature of the
conditions, could no. afford adequate
protection. With about 1000 miles OF
frontier. part of it along the border of
a foreign country, Texas is very much
in need of the rangers, without which
the ma Or portion OF the Rio Grande
valley and the territory adjacent to the
western line of the Indian Territory
would become rendezvous for crimi-
nails of all classes.
The amount of taxes paid the state
by counties almost exclusively pOiced
bv rangers is 1902, 90S for the last fiscal
year. The amount of school and
university lands under lease in SAID
counties is 3, I00, 695 acres, which yield
an annual revenue of S111, 260 The
margin of profit to the lessees is too
small to admit of maintaining an armed
force at their own expense for self
protection, and it is generally conceded
that the existence and presence of the
rangers is prerequisite to the leasing
of this vast domain, which would
otherwise be vacated and become non
revenue producing. AS a business
proposition, the rangers are a good
investment, for the work they do
could not be performed by four times
as many peace officers, whose fees
would aggregate many times more than
the cost of maintaining the frontier
battalion.
AS now organized the rangers consist
of four companies, commanded by
CAPTAINS Brooks, Hughes, Mcdonald
and Rogers. Three of these companies
are stationed at Alice and one at
Amarillo in the Panhandle. Demands
for rangers have been greater than the
department could comply with, because
of the limited number of men in the
service, but the report of their opera
tiOns during the past year shows that

Electric RittprS.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more
generally needed, when the languid
exhausted feeling prevails, when the
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need of a tonic and alternative is felt
A prompt use of this medicine has
often averted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and free
ing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion, con
stipation, dizziness yield to Electric

THE extreme point to which the eX-
queen of the Hawaiian islands carries
her reticeuce, defeats It's object, say
the Chronicle. Her absolute refusal
to even refer to the relations OF the
United States to Hawaii suggests that
she has some object TO subserve by
keeping quiet. She does not hesitate
to express herself freely in regard TO
other matters than annexation, so It
may be safely inferred that the sug-
gestion thrown out some time ago that
she Is now DESTROYS of having the
United States absorb the islands is not
far out OF the way. Queen Lii would
have much to gain through such d
contamination.
