= Favorable Outlook.

The Waite of the exports of domestic
merchandise last August was $79, 49O, 26I.
Wheat was the greatest factor in the
increased total shipments. There is
good reason to suppose that this i'll
crease in exports, while it may not be
kept up to the August limit, will be
found in every month through the fall
and winter. But little more wheat has
been exported the past quarter than
was sent out the corresponding quarter
of the year 1923, whereas the short
age abroad is said to be hundred mil
lion bushels greater. This indicates a
demand of 245, 100000 bushels of our
wheat in foreign markets. For seed
and food we require about 800, COO, 900
bushels of wheat at home. The most
favorable estimate of our crop for 1897
is $50, 900, 900 bushels. From this it ap-
pears there will be a demand for all
our wheat at good prices and the out
look for the price of corn is excellent
for those who have to sell. The farm
ers are to get the lions share of the
profits arising from this condition If
things for the price went up while they
retained possession of their crops. Nor
are these the only avenues of increased
crop profits. The people Of this coun-
try are to be better, consumers the
have work and wages now where they
didn't under the old order of things.

What Does Weyler lntend7

Though Weyler says he won't resign
Spain seems determined to remove him.
But what signified the statement cred
tied to Weyler in Havana, declaring
that "he can neither resign nor accept
a recall, because he is sure to end the
revolution in few weeks?" OF course
everybody knows what the latter part
Of the declaration means, simply moth
ing. END the revolution in few
weeks" On Thursday by the admissions
of his own officers the Spanish We're
defeated in an engagement with the in
surgents, losing fifty men. On Monday
the insurgents gained a great victory,
all things considered, in the Pinar del
Rio Province. The Spaniards retreated
leaving valuable supplies behind them.
Several other engagements have re-
Gently been fought with quite heavy
losses on both sides. Weyler has had
so large an army idle in Cuba that he
has financially wrecked Spain but as
soon as he gets more men he says he will
crush the revolution" in few weeks"
Were Weyler as innocent of other evil
as lamb he is the most colossal bonn
bastic liar that ever occupied high posi-
ton. Time and again has this been
demonstrated until every pronuncia-
mento he sends forth only excites ridi-
Guile among intelligent people.
But what does Weyler mean when he
says he cannot accept a recall? Pos
sibly he is simply lying, Possibly too
he didn't make the statement attribu-
ted to him. But when in connection
with it is considered the fear of a revo-
luton in Spain, the fact that Weyler
has the best part of Spain's army and
is friend of Don Carlos the pretender;
also that he has in partnership with
him the mercenaries of Havana, the
corrupt officials, their friends and al
cred it seems possible, though scarcely
probable that Weyler is contemplating
the role of a dictator. He is a past
master in the art of stealing and is
just the man to suit the corrupt official
class in Havana and judging from the
recent demonstration in that city it APP
pears that he does.
But whatever of significance or in
significance is to be attached to Wey-
ler's words there is significance in the
fact that the Spaniards in Havana, who
have posed as autonomists are Wey-
lerites, either for q purpose or from
sympathy. In this view of it what can
be expected of any autonomy Spain is
likely to yield to Cuba? What hope
have the insurgents from such men,
their promises or their performances?

Important Election in Norway.

An important election has just been
held in Norway by which the Liberal
party has come into control of the Nor
way Legislature. Their platform con-
sists of four planks:
/. Separate ministers for foreign
affairs (not in common with Sweden).
2. Separate consular service.
3. The clean" Norwegian flag es-
tablished by law.
4. Suffrage for every self-supporting
man over 25 years of age.
Just what effect this ascendancy of
the Liberals or Radicals will have upon
the relations now existing between
Norway and Sweden it is not easy to
determine. There has been friction be-
tween them for long time, indeed
since King Fredrik vi. of Denmark
and Norway over so years ago was
compelled to surrender his throne and
Norway was obliged to take a king in
common with Sweden, there has been
more or less trouble. Of late this has
been acute. Two years ago war be-
tween the two countries threatened.
AS a matter of fact the only union
between Norway and Sweden is q
union of the crowns of Norway and of
Sweden; that Oscar II. is not king of
Norway-Sweden, nor of Norway and
hut -;,t,,o L; >f
and king of Sweden; that the only bond
OF union is the king; that they are both
privileges, according to their constitu-
lions and the common "rigsakt' or
contract; that they have their separate
languages and Institutions, etc.
The present state of affairs in Nor
way, with respect to her foreign rela-
tons, is certainly very unsatisfactory,
if not impossible. She is without any
representative abroad. If she wishes
to negotiate a treaty with another
country, she must do so through the
Swedish minister of foreign affairs,
and, if he refuses, she is helpless. Nor
way has for several years desired to
establish arbitration treaties with other
Powers, and the Storthing has repeat
eddy signified it's wish by addresses to
the king-last winter unanimously-but
so far to no avail. Sometimes Norway
is compelled to join Sweden in COM
treaties with other nations, al
though their commercial interests are
seldom or never identical, and very
often conflicting. Norway is the fourth
mercantile Power in the world, while
Sweden comes away down the list; but,
although Norway pays two-thirds of
the expenses connected with the con-
sular service, she has no voice in the
appointments or the management of the
service.

Our Shipping.

The annual report of the commission
er of navigation shows our coastwise
and lake shipping to be in compare
lively hourishing condition. In the
Great Lakes region alone more tonnage
was built than in all the rest of the
country. 1t is also noticeable that in
these branches of the industry our
shipping is of the most approved
modern construction. While our for
eign commerce has been declining our
local commerce has vastly increased.
One of the first matters likely to be
brought to the attention of Congress
will be some proposition looking to the
restoration to this country of it's proper
share in the foreign carrying trade.
Just what form the plan will assume
is not yet determined. 1t is now pro-
posed to have a commission represent
ing the leading ship builders, ship
owners and admiralty lawyers meet in
Washington about the time Congress
assemblies to consider the matter of en-
couraging legislation. All agree that
something should be done, but not as to
what that something should be. Our
tonnage for the foreign trade is only
about osae-fourth of what it was in
1860 Our flag. has almost disappeared
from foreign ports. 1t SENS impossible
that there cannot be found some
method whereby this condition Of
affairs can be improved
