The Best Way Out.

Our distinguished friend, Colonel
Watterson, continues to belabor Grover
Cleveland for entertaining presidential
expectations in connection with the
national contest in 1900; and calls in
vain for the sage of Princeton" to re-
leve the sound money movement in the
southern states from the embarrass-
ment incidental to his prominent iden-
tification with 1t by declaring, once
for all, an irrevocable determination
not again to permit the use of his name
as that of a candidate for further po-
litical perferment.
1t is possible that from the stand
point of the southern minority which,
although Democratic by heredity and
tradition, is nevertheless out of sym
pathy with Organism and free silver
there is ground for Colonel Waiter
sons position. We can readily under
stand how intelligent Southern Demo
Gratis, if forced to choose between an
honest but deluded enthusiast like Mr.
Bryan, running on a platform with
which they are out Of sympathy, and
repugant egotist like Mr.. Cleveland,
running a fourth time for an office
that he appears to regard as a per-
sonal asset, might in sheer disgust
swallow Bryan, free silver and all,
rather than assume sponsorship for an
other dispensation of Grover.
But what surprises us is that Colonel

10 try to eliminate Clevelandism from
the problem when there Is open to
him and his a permanent Republican
alliance insuring not only good govern
ment II successful at the polls, but
also creditable company whether in
victory on defeat. There has not been
since the Republican party was found
cd an opportunity so good for intelli-
gent Democrats favorable to sound
money to ally themselves with it. The

Of the Dingley bill this bone of past
contention will be buried at least for
twenty years; and in the newer prob.
lens which will take its place-the
problems of currency revision, internal
Improvement, restoration of our mari
time trade and the wide questions of
foreign policy just rising for settle
ment-there Is room for Republicans
and conservative, patriotic Democrats
TO stand shoulder TO shoulder.
The campaign Of last year made such
an alliance possible, If Mr., Cleveland

the amount as 81, ,506, SIS, the gain made by
Senator Vests figures thus being IL per
cent. over the official figures. His total
of iron and steel manufactures exported
is given at $i 900. while that OF the
statistical abstract is Al,l6O,d7.
Not only are Senator Vests statements
of the value of exports in various years
and of various articles inaccurate, meas
ured by this official publication, but an
analysis of the official statements show
that In nearly every case the percentage
of growth CT expectation OF manufactures
under the protective tariff law was moro
rapid than under the Wilson law.
The following are a few examples OF the
growth of importations under the Wilson
law compared with the growth under the
protective tariff:
Mowers and Reapers--The expectation
OF mowers and reapers in the fiscal year
1894 under the Mckinley law is shown by
the 1896 volume of the statistical abstract
to have been 50, 1851, ,S92; in 1885, after two
years OF the Wilson law the expectations
were $S,2l2, 423, or an actual falling on
From 1891 to 1894, however, under the NC
Kinley protective tariff, there was gain
in In exports OF mowers and resper,ss0 ,s0f OF % oyer
N,579976. and those for 1884, as already
indicated. 49, ,Sg2.
Plows and Cuitivators--The 1894 exports
OF plows and cultivators amounted TO
s5Ss, III and in 1896 to s746,S04, an increase
OF S2O0, ,SS3, while from 1892 to 1893 single
year, under the Mckinley law, the in
crease of exports of plows and cultivators
was S246655, thus being greater in one year
under the Mckinley law than In two years
under the Wilson law. 1t may be added
that the 1896 exports under the Wilson law
were less by 1892 lS0 than they were under
the protective tariff law
All Other Agricultural Implements
The expectation In 1894 under the Mckinley
law amounted to 81. .226, 302. and in 1896, un-
der the Wilson law, to $l,217, ,74S, an actual
falling off again while there had been a
steady gain under the protective tariff
from 1885 up to the enactment of the
Wilson law, the figures for 1894 being near
ly double those of 1886, which are shown
by Senator Vests table to be $754 900.
Thus it appears that in the item "All 9th
er Agricultural Implements" the expor-
tations have doubled under protection
and fallen off under the Wilson law.
Senator Vests list of articles might be
followed through to the very end with
similar results to those indicated above.
In practically every case the Official fig
ures show either a falling off In exports
of the articles, item by item under the
Wilson law or that the percentage of gain
is less than was made under protective
tariff laws In preceding years. 1t is
proper to aod that in all cases the figures
above relate to the fiscal" years, both
In the statements made by Senator Vest
and in the figures quoted from the sta
tistical abstract.

rom the wilkes-Barre Record.

FROM The Wdlkes-Barre Record,
1t is alleged that the only postmaster
thus far appointed by Congressman Con-
nell In Lackawanna county Is a Democrat
named Burke at Mnooka, and that he is
in the employ of Mr.. Connell. If the truth
were known II would doubtless appear
that Mr.. Burke has rendered the Republi-
can party effective service In the past.
Mr.. Connell is not the man to strengthen
the Democracy by distributing offices
among them, He has way also OF TAX
ing care of his real friends, which is not
a bad or Improbable trait.

Capt. Thomas and Pilot Connell by the
report of William j. Bryant and c. g.

of steam vessels. The inspectors took
exhaustive testimony to enable them to
get at the facts and fix the blame for
the loss of the steamer. They found
that the rock on which she struck was
not only marked on the chart, but that
the captain ought TO have kept away
from such n foul and dangerous
coast" They blame him because he
was not on deck in such dangerous
waters. and they declare that he might
have steamed the steamer even after
she struck If he had taken the proper
curse. Capt. Thomas license Is re-

Madison. Wis, Special.-A careful
investigation of the revision Of the
statutes In the legislature last week re-
Sarding the fees for incorporation Of
articles of association has disclosed
l. fact that by n mistake Of the revis-
ION committee the state may lose n lot
OF money. The law prescribes that no
corporation shall have a legal eXis-
tence until its articles are filed with
The register of deeds. 1t further pro-
vides that for the filing of a copy Of
the articles with the secretary of state
a fee of SD shall be charged in case
the capital stock is $50. 600 or less. and
FOR every additional $1,000 capital
stock 81 will be charged. For doing
business without the filing Of such
copy with the secretary Of state each
OF the three incorpOrators is fined SO.
According to the law the legality Of
tle corporation does not depend upon
iiliDg with the secretary of state but
upon filing with the register OF deeds.
II is therefore presumed that incorpor-
atOrS CT an association whose capital
stock exceeds $4,000 will prefer to
pay the fine Of SO instead of paying
the state fees.
