Washington 10 Gettysburg via
Frederick-A Valuable Oppor-
tunlty.

The Frederick Nems, generally so
wide awake to the interests of our com.
munity and the city at large, failed
until recently TO call special attention
to a very important matter that if
properly looked id and acted upon
Ylgorousl y would secure to Frederick
unlimited possibilities in the near flu

lhgton and Gettysburg Electric Rail-
way, which, as at present projected.
VIII pass through Carroll County to
the famous battlefield and leave our
city and county in the lurch The
CITIZEN called the attention at the
tlme of the Business Mems Associa-
ton and urged them if possible to Sc
cure the route through Frederick, Thur
mont and Emmitsburg and thence on
to Gettysburg. 1t is not yet too late to
present the advantages that Frederick
County offers the new road in the way
OF business, scenic and historic ad-
Vantages and united effort would GER

the editorial columns of the News re-
Gently appeared the following, which
we heartily endorse and which we
earnestly recommend to the consider
alton of our citizens: 'In the devel-
opement of electric railroad enterprises
Frederick is in a peculiar position to
establish a leadership that will render
Der the most conspicuous example of
success in this line of industry that is
to be found in the country. Situated
midway between the nations capital
and the nations great historical battle
ground, an electric road connecting
the two and passing through the heart
of this rich county, would place Fred

already received is up to grade, and, of
course, commands grade prices. In
former years the large proportion OF
damaged and undergrade wheat, COM
handing lower prices, brought down
the aggregate amount earned by the
farmers.

July. France, usually very light i'm

this year, while Australia has become
an importer instead of a shipper The
Aus trla Hungary fields have failed so
that an export duty will be placed on
wheat by that government to keep its
supply at home. The enormous wheat
growing area of Russia is patchwork
this year as regards a successful crop.
In tue fertile southwestern sections the
crop is a failure, but is fairly good in
some other territories. Russia, how
ever, will not compete with America
this year in the markets of Europe. In
fact, almost the entire world is looking
to this side OF the Atlantic for this

The visible supply of wheat in the
United States and Canada, August 9TH,
1897, was l7,650,000 bushels, against
AS, 429, 900 bushels al the same time in
1896. The outward movement is more
active. As fast as the cereal is brought

water. The marketing of the crop this
season has been slow because of bad
weather.

RAILROAD traffic is rapidly on the
increase owing to the enormous ship
ments of grain from the west. Traffic
Manager, David b. Martin of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad, returned re-
Gently from trip through the west.
He said: business is improving at a
rapid rate throughout the west, and
the prospects are better than at any
other time for several years Crops
are abundant, and are being harvested
with all possible haste. Railroad ton
mage is heavier than for several years,
and twill require skillful handling of
freight trains to avoid a blockade.
Every available freight car has been
brought into use to move the grain,
which will be sent to the seaboard
markets to fill foreign orders. Passen-
ger business is also increasing at a
gratifying rate. The Baltimore and
Ohio's last month exceeded the most
sanguine expectations.

A RECORD-MAKING YEAR.
Domestic Exports from the United
States Larger Than Ever Before
This Was Under the Demo-
cratic Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. -.Domestic ex-
ports for the fiscal year which ended
June 30tb, 1897, were the largest in the
history of the United States, their value
being Sl,032, 0Ol 800. 10 1892 they
amounted to Sl,Ol5, 2,Oll The in
crease over exports of the preceding
year amounts to $l6S, s00,S1S.
There has been considerable in

year 1892, the largest previous export
year, when they were valued at Sl5S,-
5lO,937 or 1916 per cent. of the whole,
the year 1897 shows that they amount
ed to 1916, 1857, SCI, or 26.7S per cent. of
the total exports, which is an increase
over the fiscal year ended June 30th,
1896, of S47, S6,6S3.
Domestic manufactures exported in
June were valued at $25, S73, 2O4, an in
crease of about $4,000,000 over the same

S3S, 1898, S95. as against S37.17S,O60 for
June, 1896. Agricultural exports for
June, 1896, were 1926 per cent. and for
June 1897, 54.26 per cent of all exports.
For the fiscal year ended June 30h,
1896, the value of agriculture exports

The Republican leaders are prepar-
ing for a lively fight in Baltimore over
the nominee for Mayor. The organi-
cation is for Mr.. Marburg, and with
the money that is back Of this gentle
man, many think that Master, who IS
beyond doubt the choice Of the people,
will be defeated. The Stone combina-
ton will likely give Malster all he asks
for in the way Of polling places, and
yet be able to buy up enough colored
votes to win the fight for Marburg.
Supplee is evidently helping Stone, and
has no earthly show for the nomina-
ton.

THE so-called Independent press OF
Baltimore does not seem to be at all
concerned about the open handed
frauds which have been so bitterly
denounced by Republican leaders in
Prince Georges and Calvert Counties.
Just suppose such state of affairs eX-
listed under Democratic leadership,
what a howl you would hear, and how
State leaders would be denounced for
allowing such a condition Of affairs.
Yet silence is the only course pursued
by the papers which are now engaged
in trying to bring about Democratic
defeat in Maryland.

If the Democrats of Baltimore are
able to unite on representative man
for mayor, they will sweep the city.
In spite Of Republican machinery and
trust money, Marburg, who is likely to
be the Republican nominee, will be
badly defeated candidate. The people
of Baltimore have had enough Of Re

ARBITRATION CASE.

Venezuela lost in one arbitra-
ton, at the close of last year, and
doubtless deserved to lose. M.
FHbiana, a French merchant and
shipowner, alleged that President
Blanco had ruined him, and his
claim of 5S,000,0O0 francs as in
demnity was submitted to the
president of the Swiss confedera-
ton to arbitrate in 1891. Pro
lessor Virgile Rosset, of the Uni
versity of Berne, WAS directed by
the federal council to examine the
case and render a legal opinion
on it. The award promulgated
by the federal council on the 30th
OF December simply recognizes
the fact that justice was denied to
FNbiani, and fixes the indemnity
to be paid to him by the republic
OF Venezuela at 4,346,656 francs.
1t is stated that the decision
solves a great many points affect
ing the rights of nations, private
a! d international rights and civil
rights, and gives exhaustive ex.
plantations thereon. The docu-
ment, it is expected, will be of the
highest order of international
v.''ue. Surely arbitration in this
Case has proved more satisfactory

put to the necessity Of sending a

Justice is slow, sure enough,
and even if sure, slow enough
still, in California. There is not
the least doubt that Durrant, the
accused murderer, had a full and
fair trial by his peers. Yet it will
be May next, or about two years
after the hideous murders were
committed, before the Supreme
Court can determine whether the
trial was, technically, full and
fair. If he is to hang after that,
most of the deterrent effects of
his execution will have been worn
to q blunt edge.
