WASHINGTON, Oct. s.-The bureau OF
statistics issued the tables showing the
exports and imports for August, the
first full month under the new tariff
law. These figures show for that
month the largest exports of domestic
merchandise OF any August in the his
tory OF the government. The exports
were So, ,4J0, ,2Gi, agujust $50, ,GsJ,93l for
August 1896. For the first eight
months of the year the exports were
SOL, $4,000 in excess of the first eight
months OF 1896, so that the bureau Of
fciuls believe that the exports this year
win far exceed those OF last year, which
was itself u rccord-brealling year in
the matter Of exports.
The value of all imports, dutiaGlo
and ircc for August was $50, SIS, 3l2. OF
which SIS G20.GO7 were free. These liz
urCs show u decrease OF about $40, ,000,
600 below those of 1896. The decrease
was due to heavy reduction in
the importation of raw wool, which
decreased from 4,G5l, ,O0) pounds in
August last year to 2,e1,.o1I
pounds last August, manufactured
wool from S3,7o9 600 to $d39, 600, wood

The Diamond.

The diamond has been described as
consisting of an enormous number of
separate molecules, swinging to and
fro among themselves at a rate Of
some millions of vibrations a second,
all in action together, and quivering
with the shocks of impact. Without Il
microscope which would magnify a
million times, we cannot see this ac-
ton; we can only believe it. The cause
of the diamonds extreme hardness and
impenetrability is said to be that when
q steel point is pressed against it the
active molecules batter that point with
such vehemence and rapidity that it
cannot get beneath the crystalline sur
face When cutting glass the molecules
of the diamond drive the molecules of
the glass before them, or NOW them
down as men are moved down by a
Maxim gun.

BRYAN ON CLEVELAND.

Mr.. Bryan has written a criticism OH
ey-President Cleveland's speech to the
Reform Club. He truthfully asserts
that the eX-President is unjust to Nc
Kinley. The President was noted for
his views ON protection. He is simply
following out Il policy which he has al
ways favored. Hence Mr.. Cleveland
and other "gold Democrats" who either
directly or indirectly aided Mckinley $
election, have no ground of complaint.
They knew that Mckinley was pro-
tectionist when they contributed to his
election, and they must accept the le-
gitimate consequences of their own ac-
tions.
Another point made by Mr.. Bryan is
effective. The largest sum Of money
ever put into Il campaign in the history
of American politics was raised and eX-
pended in the last presidential contest.
did it ever occur to him. (Alr. Cleve-

tributOrs would expect repayment
through legislation friendly to their in

Dingley bill is. 1t is intended to give
the men who contributed the cash to
Mark Hanna's corruption fund an Op-
portunity to play even at The expense
of the American people.

can be no question.-Denver News.

supplied in the last few weeks 10000
farmers of the country with sugar beet
seed for experiments during the coming
season. They are scattered through prac-
tically every State north of the extreme
southern line of States. The people as
far south as the Carolinas, Tennessee and
Texas believe that they can grow sugar
beets successfully. And we are quite
willing to give them full opportunity to
make that test everywhere. If they sue
ceed in extending the beet sugar territory
down to the very line of the cane sugar
area, there ought to be no difficulty in pro-
ducing in the United States all of the
500, ,000, 900 worth of sugar for which we
are now going abroad every year."

Naturally many of the best proverbs
used in this connection relate to household
cleanliness, and all the original ones are
framed to that end. Dirt in the house

recognition, despite its origin. House
hold sayings, in the sense of four-walled
buildings full of furniture, are quite lack
ing in many Eastern tongues. We believe
that no reference to clean housekeeping
can be found in the Koran or even in the
Bible, except that of the woman who
swept the house to find her lost coin.
Shakespeare rather sights the subject, but
whether because it was not deemed impor-
tant in that intellectual but dirty age or
because he scared to grander things. we
will not discuss. but the England of to-
day well says of home, 'The cleaner us
the cosier 'tis," and our American adver-
tiser improves the opportunity to add that
humble homes made bright with Sapollo

The Bell Telephone Company won the
case brought against it by the United
States to annul the last Berliner patent.
This decision has the effect of continuing
the control of the telephone by the Bell
company for seventeen years from the
date Of the last patent, which was grant
ed in 1891. The Government asked to
have the patent of 1895 set aside on the
ground that the delay of thirteen years
in the patent Office was fraudulent and
through the fault of the telephone COM
pany, and that the patent issued in 1850
covered the same ground on which the
new patent was applied for in 1891. The
United States Supreme Court, in its opin-
ion delivered by Justice Brewer, held that
there was no evidence of corruption or
undue influence. Justice Harlan dissent
ed from the opinion. Justices Gray and
Brown, it was announced took no part in
the case, presumably because they were

The annual spring visitation of tramps
has apparently come upon the country.
Reports from different parts of the Uni
ted States show that, instead of being
peaceable and lazy, they have become
desperate and lawless. In many sections
they have formed organizations, selected
leaders and united in an effort to secure a
good living at the general expense of the
community that has the i'll luck to be
chosen as an abiding place by the tramps.
Indiana, particularly the northeast por-
ton of the State, is partially terrorized.
Barns are burned, farmhouses looted and
isolated settlements placed at their mercy.
Fights between citizens and tramps are
of frequent occurrence, but the vagrants,
though often baf1ed, beaten and jailed, re-
fuse to move. Freight cars are broken
into and valuable contents taken and sold
to whoever will buy, the proceeds going
for liquor or into general fund. In
New York and New Jersey fights be-
tween railroad men and tramps desiring
TO steal ride or plrnder car are not in.

Whose Appetite?

We used to hear much for twenty
five years from the Republican breth-
rem safely stalled at the public crib
about an awful organized appetite"
which appetite they described as the
Democratic party. They felt it pat
riotic duty to disappOint this appetite
in order to satisfy their own. The coun-
try would be lost if they were not per-
mitted to take their meals in peace at
the expense of the Government. Dur
ing all these twenty-five years the DEM
ocratic party went on in season and out
of season, met defeat every four years
with equanimity, but stuck fast by their
principles, whereas if they were indeed
an organized appetite they would not
have survived one disastrous campaign.
These little facts may be brought out
in view of the fact that there is on file
in the State Department at Washington
no less than 10000 applications for ap-
pointments in the consular service.
These come from Republicans. OF
course they will protest there Is no or
ganized appetite among them. They
are not very hungry and very thirsty.
But the facts are against them. The
Republican party is ut all times the par
ty of grab. writ large. The Republican
party solemnly resolves rhat the saints
should possess the earth, and with
equal solemnity resolves that the saints
belong exclusively in the Republican
party.
Humbug, charlatanlsm, hypocrisy,
greed and jobbery are the characters
tics of the Republican party. 1t is ''an
organized appetite il ever there was
