The"BaIancc Of Trade"
From the New York Herald Qnd.).

If anything could make the falsity of the
old balance of trade" theory more GER
tain, it is the undisputed fact that Eng
globe, has had an "unfavorable balance
every year since 1853. In the twenty-one
years ending with 1895 the total of twenty
one huge annual adverse balances, ag-
ceeded the exports by eleven billions of
dollars! But. by our 'protectionist'
friends logic, instead of growing fabu-
lously rich, this mountainous aggregate of
adverse balances" should have made her
worse than penniless.

The Barcelona Incident.
From the New York Times (Dem.)

The worst result to be feared from the
insult to our flag is it's effect upon public
congress. 1t is plain that dragging the flag
of the union in the mud of q Spanish city
and tearing it in pieces presents in dan
gerous degree the proyocation and the OPP
portunity for much rash and heated ut
terance. We hope, however, that congress
will have the wisdom to leave the affair to
be dealt with by the President and the
Secretary of State. The promptness of her
disavowal and apology will be the best
evidence Spain can give of her desire to
avoid strained relations with the United
States

The free silver advocates are anxious
to have this country adopt Mexican ideas
in our national affairs. How far are thew
willing TO go? Would it be safe to adopt
merely the Mexican free silver idea. and
leave alone other Mexican ideas which
may have a great deal to do with the
alleged. but very vague prosperity"
which Mexico is enjoying?. A matter in
point is the presidential office A ma
tional election is shortly to be held in
Mexico. The chances are that Diaz will
be his own successor. He has been pres
ident ever since 1876 For five successive
campaigns he has been nominated and
reelected. True. it is alleged that some
people were opposed to his reelection
from time to time. They did not remain
in the country. There was no ANTI
third term sentiment against him. or. if
there was it did not last long. Would
the silverites like to have the virtual
dictatorship idea adopted along with the
silver standard idea?

reason for doing so. He has the courage
of his convictions. He dares too do what
he knows to be right. When he is in a
position to lead public sentiment he does
not hesitate to undertake to lead IT. He
does not follow it for the sake of being
popular and being retained in office. 1t
is of far more consequence to him to be
right than be in office.

The New England shipyards are not
turning out a great many schooners these
days, but many of those that they do turn
out are record breaking craft. At Bath the
other day four-masted schooner 257 feet
long and having gross tonnage of sos
tons, was launched. This is the biggest
vessel of her class ever built in an Amer
lean shipyard, being Il feet longer than
the well known Governor Ames, the mon
ster nve-master. of which so much has
been written. These craft are a great deal
larger than most of the fun rugged clipper
ships of forty years ago that used to car
ny the stars and stripes to all ports of the
world. Schooners, however, no matter
what size, are seldom employed in the
deep sea" trade.

A Savannah wheelman has expressed
the intention of applying to Judge Falli-
giant for license to carry a revolver for
the purpose of protecting himself against
drivers of buggies and carriages, both in
and out Of the city, and especially on the
Thunderbolt road. The rider has broken
wheel and a barked shin to show as a
result of being run into a ditch by the
reckless driver of a buggy, who was
speeding his horse in order to pass an
other turnout. Only the other day the dis
patches contained the information that
insurance companies had concluded that
they must regard bicycle riders as hazard
Gus risks. One reason bicycle riding is
hazardous is because many drivers Of
horses seem to make it a point to try to
run wheelmen down and MAIN or kill
them. There is not so much complaint to
be made of the freight vehicles. Drivers
of wagons and drays usually may be de-
pended upon to give room. But the wheel
mans most dreaded enemy is the sport"
with the fast horse. and the carriage that
carries the liveried coachman on the box
When these heave in sight, the wheelman
must not imagine that he has any rights
at all, and must dismount, or run the risk
of becoming a subject for either the sur
geon or the undertaken

important Bank Decision.

of New Hanover in which suit was

are directly interested in this decision,
as are also number OF individual resi-
dents of that city. In Its opinion, the
court says:
