Life's Epitome.
There was man in our town
Invested all his health,
With madly avaricious aim,
To win the goal of wealth;
And when the same he had attained,
With all his might and main,
He vainly lavished all his wealth
To get his health again.

the room.

lands, no mosquitoes or malaria, and
pure mountain air. Between Monett,
where the Frisco's California route
leads off west, and Fort Smith, Ark,
we cross the Boston Mountains, and
further south the Kiamichi High
lands, whose scenery is bewitching,
and in some spots wild in its gran
deur. Streams, wild fowl, fish, deer
and smaller game complete any pic
ture fancy may draw.
Monet is a Frisco town. 1t is Young
and strong. The road built it and is
doing much for it. 1t is new and
fresh. Here is the Frisco's junction.
We see passengers getting aboard of
the California-bOund train, which we
learn passes through NeoshO, the
biggest United States Government
fish hatchery west of the Mississippi
River. This novelty would have given
us great pleasure had we time to in
spect it. So would it have been worth
our while to see something of the
noted lead and zinc mines on the route
west of NeoshO. But even at this
early stage of our trip over an inter
est-creating route we find we cannot
"do" all noteworthy points and take
in every engaging sight on and near
the Frisco System.
The memory of the newspaper man,
trained as it is, almost despairs of re-
collecting for purposes of correspon-
dence all the things we are to hear
and see.

The earnest missionary work that
has been done in Canton, Ohio, in
behalf of Mr.. James A. Gary has
borne fruit In the tender of cabinet
position to that gentleman, and if he
accepts, as it is presumed he will,
Maryland will once more be represent
ed in the official family of the Presi-
dent of the United States. 1t has
been nearly a quarter of a century
since a Marylander was been in the
federal cabinet, and Maryland Repub-
Leans will doubtless rejoice that the
State has again been recognized in
the distribution of political honors
The position offered him is not defin-
itely announced, but it is believed
the Postmaster-Gener is that
which he will be asked to fill.
Whether it be that or some other
portfolio, we have no doubt that Mr..
Gary will discharge its duties with
credit to himself and to the State.
He is man of business experience
and ability, prominent and popular in
his party, and his appointment will
give great satisfaction to his personal
as well as political friends.

some of CARROTS Mineral Wealth.

Tuesday there was brought to this
office by Mr.. Chauncey kimmell sam
pies of minerals found on his farm
which is situated about six miles from
Oakland down the Yough river.
The first and most valuable of
these minerals is the coal, of which
there are five veins in that community.
The top vein is three and the others
four, five, six and eleven feet thick.
Mr.. kimmell has the four foot vein
opened and is working it, he having
sold this winter over seven hundred
tons of coal, most of which was hauled
to Oakland. This coal is an excellent
heating coal, but does not hold fire as
well as the five six and eleven foot
veins.
The next mineral in Importance
from commercial point of view we
should adjudge, is fire clay. There is
vein sixty feet thick underlying Mr..
kimmell's land. 1t has been tested
by experts and pronounced superior
to the famous Mount Savage fire clay.
Bricks made from it have stood a
thorough test and are impervious to
the action of fire. The other mineral
is kaolin. This is a soft, white clay
somewhat resembling chalk. and is
used in large quantities for finishing
fine china-ware and adulterating can
dies. Samples of these minerals can
be seen at this office.
There is about three hundred and
fifty acres underlaid with these min
erals. The Friendsville and Deer
Park connecting line will pass through
the land. This road is now completed
to within eight miles of Oakland, and
we have it from good authority that
it will be completed to Oakland by
next July.

article entitled "Over the Hills to the

writer gives a vivid description Of the
condition of these recipients of the

appeal to the officials and public at
large of that county to a betterment
of their condition. 1t is calculated to
set the public mind to thinking on

From the winter wheat sections, the
thick snow blanket having preserved

The foreign trade movement still
runs largely in our favor The gain
in exports is naturally beginning to
abate, and the figures for January
show an increase over last year of
81, 100000, while for the previous quar-
ter the gain had averaged over $23,-
000000 per month. But the imports
for January show a much larger rate
of decrease than previously, the fall
ing off being SIC, 900, 900, while for the
months of December, November and
October the decrease averaged only
S13, 100000 The merchandise imports
for last month amounted to $53, 200,
600, while the exports were valued at
$99,000,000, which show balance in
our favor, on the merchandise ac-
count, amounting to S45, 900. For
the same month of 1896, the creditor
balance was S22. 500,0 900. These fig
ures show that we may safely post
pOne expectations of gold exports;
for in addition to this balance of 1873
millions for January we must reckon
the large sum of export bills still held
here, but which will now soon mature
These balances will much more than
cover the interest payable abroad at
the beginning of March. 1t must be
here noted, however, that during this
month the imports of merchandise
have begun to show a decided in
crease, the result probably of more
liberal orders sent out in November
under the encouraging outcome of
the election. The imports at this
port for the first two weeks of Febru-
AIRY amount to &1S,&00,000, which is
identical with the figures for the cor
responding weeks of 1896. We are
evidently not entering Oh period in
which the late large creditor balance
between imports and exports will be
modified, and we may expect to see
increases in the imports and decreases
in the exports; but, in the meantime,
it would seem that Europe must be
owing largely to the United States on
the balance of past transactions, in

WHEN Mr. Gary takes his place in
McKinley's cabinet, he will be the
first representative OF Maryland APP
pointed to such q position in % years
Gen. Grant recognized Maryland in
1863 by selecting John \. j. Cresswell
as one Of his advisers, and, strangely
enough, he was placed at the head of
the postoiiice department as Mr.. Gary
seems likely to be
Previous TO 1863, Maryland received
her share of recognition in cabinet
positions, and her representatives ac-
quilted themselves in a manner credi-
table to the state and nation. Under
ring rule, the state received little
recognition from the powers at Wash
ingtOn. She developed no men who
could be said to be worthy of any
particular consideration. She was
lost sight of in the management of
government affairs. Her men of
brains had no chance to show their
worth. TO gain public recognition,
they must first bow down before the
political trio, who graduated from the
dregs, into rulers of Baltimore and
the state. Men of ability could not
so demean and disgrace themselves,
and preferred the quiet life of a pri-
vate citizen to public recognition,
through the agency of a foul machine.
Thus the state was dragged down by
political blood-suckers, from a place
where her citizens were looked up to
as among the foremost in the councils
of the nation, to a condition in which
she was not considered worthy of
second thought, looked upon as a
mere division of territory on the map,
and very little attention given to that.
Her public sentiment was being
crushed, the hope of better things
surely fading away. But the people
have asserted themselves, and public
sentiment is growing stronger every
day
