surd demands for Expenses" as they
will later. He has his fences in such
shape, too, that he believes an early
convention will be greatly to his ad-
vantage.
The various candidates are to ap-
prise County Chairman Jennings with
in a few days of the date for conven-
tion that will be most satisfactory to
them. Indications at present are that
the convention will be held August II
or "a, although there are those who say
that August 10 would be a most accept
able date.

TRADE WITH JAPAN GROWING

a statement prepared by the
Treasury Department shows that for
the first time in the history of trade
relations with Japan the United
States is entitled to be considered as
a serious competitor with Europe.
A recent British report from the
lega ton at Toxic reviews the for
eign trade of Japan during the past
year. In the supply of machinery,
rails, nails and pig iron the United
States assumed leading place. The
British representative pointed out
that American railway engine build
ers were likely to receive a great
number of orders during the present
year. An unusual demand for metals,
textiles and raw materials is noted,
going to show the growth of manu-
features in Japan.
Our own official statistics sustain
the report Of the British representa-
tive, the Treasury Departments
statistics showing that there has been
a great increase in our exports to
Japan, which have risen from So, 1885,
2S2 in 1892, year of large general
exports, to $13, 233, $40 for the fiscal
year just closed. This increase was
mainly in cotton and manufactures of
cotton, manufactures of iron and
steel, including machinery, mineral
oil (refned), manufactured tobacco,
lumber and wheat -four. The in
crease in manufactures of iron and
steel and in raw cotton is especially
noticeable.
Notwithstanding the heavy increase
in exports the United States buys
more from Japan than it sells to that
country. During the year just ended
the value of Japanese goods brought
into the United States was S24, OO9, :
756. Compared with last year, this is
decrease of about 81, 100000. How
ever, the value of Japanese imports
has been subject to comparatively
little fuctuation for a number of
years, ranging from $14, 1856, 573 in
1886, to $27, 454, 22O in 1898
OF the 113, 343, 175 pounds of tea i'm

the fiscal year 1897, Japan supplied

FORTUNES MADE AND LOST.

People who expected a rise in wheat
and prepared for it reaped rich har-
vest when wheat suddenly went up to
one dollar, but while in this way an
occasional fortune is made far more
are lost. People unused to dealing in
such things are excited at the thought
of the great fortunes that the most
fortunate ones are making and decide
to risk little Oh what they are told
by friend must be a sure thing.
Perhaps they may win at first and if
they do it will be worse for them, for
having once won they cannot draw
back and refuse to risk more but are
sure to keep it up and in short
time their winnings, with what they
had to start on, are gone, The mex
perienced man who starts in this line
does not stop to think what he must
contend against. Perhaps he has a
moderate fortune to start OH and
thinks that he will soon double it; he
does not think Of the men who have
started in with fortunes many times
the size of his, only to lose all. He
does not think that he must contend
against millionaires who have long
been in the business and know it's
crooks and turns, men who are on the
inside track, 50 to speak. The man
who loses his fortune and is obliged
to drop out of sight of the public is
thought of as a poor unfortunate but
his fall does not serve as lesson to
others. They think it was by some
foolish move that he lost and they
will be careful and not make such a
mistake. The scarcity of wheat all
over Europe made it safe to conclude
that wheat would rise, but the specu-
lator does not always have any thing
like certainty to risk his money on
and having once started he will fol-
low it up until the unlucky day comes
and his fortune belongs to another.

OUR NEARER KLONDlKE.

The North american ReUieD for
Septem Der contains the fifth and last
paper in the series by Michael G..
Mulhall, F. S. s., on the progress of
the United States. This concluding
article deals with the Pacific States.
whose annual product of precious
metals since 1890 have averaged 55
tons of gold and 1900 of silver, valued
at 500, 100000. When it is borne in
mind that this amount exceeds the
value of precious metals that any
other country has yet produced in all
history, we see the significance in re-
ferring to the most Western States as
tour nearer Klondike."
The statistics about the product of
precious metals are not the only
striking figures quoted to show the
richness of the great territory under
examination. The calculation is
made that if the agriculture of the
entire United States were on the
same footing as in the Pacific States
the improved area under farms would

more than at present. Few except
agriculturists look to our far West
for large farms, but in Nevada they
average 1900 acres. That there is an
immense field for development is
shown by the statement that only six
per cent, of the area is under farms,
whereas 20 per cent. of it is avail
able.
To the British mind, accustomed to
comparatively small areas, these
figures reveal a richness absolutely
unknown even to their widest
dreams ssIn whatever aspect we
view the Pacific States" says the
statistician, "their prospect must APP
pear marvellous. Although of such
recent formation that most of them
have sprung into existence since
1860, they possess more miles of rail-
way than any European state except
France or Germany, and their wealth
exceeds that of Sweden, Norway and
Denmark in the aggregate" Our
far West is indeed a Klondike, with
its treasures within reach of all who
will work hard for them.-Journal.

MR. BLAND'S IDEA.

The following, copied from the NeaU
York World, shows that that paper
does not agree with MIR. Bland that it
would be benefit to the farmer to
split the dollar and make it worth
only a part Of what it is now:
Mr.. Bland has always strenuously
contended that the low price of wheat
and other farm products was due not
to large crops in competing countries
but to the demonstration of silver
and the decline in the price of that
metal
Yet now, when wheat has gone up
enormously and silver declined phe-
nomenaly, Mr.. Bland in his signed
statement to the World contends that
the advance in wheat is due solely to
short crops in competing countries
He is right about that. But if short
crops in competing countries produce
high prices, why do not large crops in
competing countries produce low
prices? What is the matter with the
rule that it will not work both ways?
Mr.. Bland wants permanently high
prices. He sees clearly that if Ar
gentina, Russia, Hungary, India and
all the rest have big crops next year
we shall have an era of low prices in
accordance with that law of supply
and demand which Intelligent observ-
ers see to be always and everywhere
in control of markets. So he would
preserve dollar wheat by splitting

AS the result of the development of our
public shool system and the chea pening
of books, there has grown up large class
of men and women who seek broader edu-
cation, or desire to extend their knowl
edge along special lines. Their duties in
life, or lack of means, exclude them from
the universities. The Cosmopolitan Mag
azine has undertaken the task of bringing
liberal education, in it's broadcast sense,
within the reach of those who have the as
piration, but are deprived of the opportu-
nifty. DR.. Andrews, late of Brown Uni
versity, has undertaken the Presidency of
the CosmopoIitan's educational move
ment. The work, thus begun, is not in
tended to take the place of regular univer-
sity work, but to supply gap in existing
educational facilities. Those who are
really in search of knowledge will find
direction and aid. 1t can do nothing for
those who have not the desire to study.
An intending student sends to the CosnlO
poLitan, New York, his name, occupation,
previous courses of study, studies desired
to be pursued, objects and purpose for
which course is designed, and the number
of hours, daily or weekly. study. which
can be given. No charges of any kind will
be made to students

Secretary Sherman has submitted
to the Japanese government an ans
wer to Japan's last note relating to
the annexation of Hawaii to the
United States. The answer was de-
livered to Mr.. .Hoshi, the Japanese
minister, last Saturday. It is in reply
to Japan's note of July 10, which up
to that time had not been acknowl-
edged. Mr.. Sherman's answer is
marked by its friendly expressions
toward Japan, which give special
satisfaction in view of the somewhat
strained relations resulting from the
previous correspondence. Two feat
ures are brought out by the answer.
1t reiterates the position heretofore
taken by the Secretary of State as to
the right and propriety of annexing
Hawaii to the United States. With
this, however, is coupled an assur-
ance that the interests Of Japan in
Hawaii will be fully safeguarded. 1t
also expresses satisfaction at the
plan of arbitration between Japan
and Hawaii on the question of Japa-
nese immigration to Hawaii. The
answer is largely an elaboration of
Mr.. Sherman's former letter, and the
policies expressed in no way differ
from those previously laid down by
him. Minister Hoshi has cabled the
substance of the answer to the Toxic
government, and the full text of the
answer has been forwarded. 1t will
not reach Japan until September Z,
and no action may be taken before
the Japanese Foreign Office. The
japanese Legation is reticent over
the dispatch, although there is no eff
fort to conceal the satisfaction felt
over the friendly spirit displayed
throughout Mr.. Sherman's answer
The attention of the Toxic govern
ment has been particularly directed
toward these expressions of good
will.

The number of foreigners coming
to this country during the past year
has been smaller than usual. This is
probably due to the fact that business
has been poor; when the business de-
preston is over they will again com
mence to flock here in great numbers.
We need not worry but that we will
get all the immigrants we can want
when once it is understood that the
times are growing better here. What
we need worry the most about is the
class of immigrants we will receive
from some countries. Many of the
foreigners which come to this coun-
try make some of our best citizens,
while others are worthless citizens.
We believe that President Cleveland
made a mistake when he vetoed the
immigration bill just before he retired
from the presidency. We need all of
the people who will come here and
settle down and become good citizens
that we can get, but we need not
think but that we can get plenty of
this sort even if we do shut out the
criminal classes which are flowing in
here. Let us have some law which
will as far as possible shut out the
undesirable class of foreigners and
then we will be getting our full quota
of good citizens with but few of the
bad ones.
