The Macmillan Company has published
en- English version of "Son. Excellence
Eugene Rougon"-"His Exce.lency, " the
English title-by Emile Zoia.
In many ways this Is a typical Zola
production.
At the time Of its publication "His
Excollency" was assailed with particular
vigor on the charge OF plagiarism. To
this charge Nj. Ernest A. Vizetelly, In
a preface, makes vigorous denial after
highly interesting fashion, giving us
study OF the lola method Of workman
ship
ellis Excellenoy," to the English
reader. Is probably far more entertain
ing work than much OF the more preten-
tious lola productions. IL is very real
realism, not little OF it Is extracted
bodily from contemporaneous newspaper
recording and the whole novel has the
quick. effective style that cbaracterlzes the
better class of newspaper reporting.
IL deals with the second Frenoh empire
--and thus IL very much political novel
IL gives one an effective picture OF the
time of Napoleon Ill, and knocks out
many OF the common delusions as TO the
glory and nobility OF that period, portray
ing tricksters and jobbers where we
have associated patriots, if not Republicans,
is plainly truth and should be read for its
historical purpose rs for its rare interest
as vigorous story.
Its character types are most strikingly
drawn and the editor informs his readers
that while all Of them are not TO be-
traced to actual personages, every one Of
them is truly type breathing the spirit
OF the time and illustrating the kind
that schemed, that ruled. that went down
In the final disaster or rose nimbly to seek
political preferment in the new republic.
The political novel Is so much OF
rarity that this Is particular treasure,
describing as 1t does politics in period
thsn whlch none was ever more cunning
or desperate the glamor surrounding
which served TO hide 1t in q marvellous
fashion.

RHODE ISLANDS ExpoRr TRADE.

The News today presents review OF
the business outlook and the extent of
the export trade OF Rhode Island as de-
tailed by largo number of the leading
manufacturers ana business men OF this
city and Pawtuoket.
According to their statements the ex-
port trade Is very limited in comparison
with the imDense product Of our numer-
Gus industries and they are OF the opinion
that the States share Of foreign trade will
not be much bettered until some Of the
capital of the commonwealth Is devoted
to increasing our commercial importance.
At the present time the large output of
the factories. machine shops, jewelry es'
tablishments and other manufactures,
employing thousands of workmen, is
taken to New York Boston and other
ports for shipment to their destination,
and they urge the importance Of estab-
fishing adequate carrying facilities so
that Rhode Islands product can be
shipped from the splendid harbor OF this
city.
With line of steamers running directly
to the metropolis of this country, the mer-
chants and manufacturers assert that
freight could bo carried much cheaper
than it is at present and this margin OF
saving would give them an advantage In
certain markets.
They could compete more successfully
with producers who have those facilities,
than they can nov, and under such an
advantage there would DO strong ten
dency to increase the export trade.
They assert, also, that with line of
steamers running to some important port
in Europe certain Rhode Island goods
would nearly control the market.
Undor the present state OF affairs woolen
goods If they are sold abroad are disposed
of at a loss. Cotton fabrics from this state
find a foreign market TO a'llmited extent
but nothing like the demand they deserve;
machinery, with tho exception of that
made by the Brown g. Sharpe Company,
finds comparatively small outlet with
perhaps an exception in favor of Pan
American customers; cheap jewelry has a
small market I'm Mexico Central and
South America, and miscellaneous mer-
chandisc Is about the Same as ignored.
Bettor things are hoped for and capital
and brains in this community Will be
employed in this direction when the day
of more prosperity dawns.

The last refuge of the free traders in
their attempt to excuse themselves from
the reduction in the wages OF the coal
mipers is in the statement that coal inn
portstions were no greater under the Will
son law than under the Mckinley law.
They DO not seem 20 understand that IL is
the price fixed by foreign importations
rather than the quantity imported which,
IN this case. fixed prices of the home pro-
ductions. The fact that Nova Scotia coal,

was taken out dead, the body being

while three others were so badly
mangled that they will surely die. One
