cess would mean. While the charter
! may contain minor defects ana could
unqucstionably be improved upon in
many respects. its overthrow now that
1t has been accepted ana the municipal
government has been adjusted to its
provisions would entail positive injury
upon both the city and the taxpayers.
First and foremost. Il return to the
old charter would make the entire cost
of the recent city election waste of
money pure and simple, without any
thing whatever to show for the ex-
penditure involved. The cost OF this
election Is not confined to the SS.OG0 or
$4,000 drawn out of the city treasury
to pay for clerks. judges, printing.
booths, and so forth 1t includes the
campaign expenses of all parties. the
loss of time of participants in the can
yass, the interruption of business and
trade. Elections would be expensive
luXures if they We're to be INDUCED in
friyolously without object and without
result
A return to the old charter would
mean the invalidatiOn of the $4,000 re-
paving bonds that were voted at the
time the present city officers were elec-
ted. 1t Is absolutely necessary to have
the proceeds of the sale of these bonds
available before the city can do any
repnying o. our streets can be put into
passable condition. With the exposition
only year off this work can not be
commenced too soon. To put all public
work at Standstill for whole season
at the present time would cripple the
exposition almost irrecOyerably.
Another dilemma in which the city
would find itself should the new charter
bo declared void would arise from its
embarrassment with respect to its re-
newal bonds. TO preserve the city's
credit it viii be necessary to renew Il
great many district improvement bonds
that are now falling due. While the city
has claimed the right to issue these
bonds, several sales have been declared
OF because its authority to do SO under
the old charter was questioned. The
new charter expressly aiiirms the power
OF the city to issue renewal bonds and
places the validity of such bonds beyond
the possibility OF doubt. Revoke this
express authority and the city would
find 1t most difficult If not impossible t.

The energy shown by German mer

for trade in every quarter of the world,
| is notable and they are meeting with
marked success. The latest volume of
| consular reports records the progress
that Germany is making in extending
her trade in South America, specific ref
| rrcnce being made to the Argentine Re
| public. 1t appears that while England
| is still ahead in the trade with that re-
| public. Germany is rapidly reducing the
distance between them. II Is stated that
| in certain products of iron Germany has
not only gained the lead, but has forced
| England almost out of the Argentine
markets.
The American consul at ChemnitZ says
| the reasons for this are to be found in

modest profits in the thOroughness with

and wishes. in the care he takes to fill,

consul suggests that they cannot be neg

duct profitable commerce in South Amer
icn or in any foreign country.
1t would seem that the example of
German merchants and manufacturers,
In the matter Of extending their foreign
trade, might well be carefully considered
Ivy the merchants and manufacturers OF
the United States. With the advantage
which the latter enjoy in being much
nearer than Germany to the South
American markets, it is something of II
reflection upon their business energy
and enterprise to find that European
country steadily increasing its trade
there, while American trade with those
markets is not growing, if indeed it be
not declining. SO far as position is con
ccrrcd the United States IS more favor
ably situated than any other country for
commanding South American trade but
something more than that is necessary
and this seems to be lacking. However,
American manufacturers have within
the last year or two shown lyelier in
tGreSt in this southern trade and they
may in the near future put forth
stronger efforts to obtain their share OF
it. ManifeStly unless they can accom-
piish this our industrial development
must come TO IL halt, for our productive
capacity is now very greatly in excess of
the requirements of the home market

tirely shut off.

THE PICTURE IN MY HEART.
Samuel Minturn Peck.

Samuel Minturn Peck.
IN each mans soul there lives dream
Lit by Il wOman's eyes,
Whose glance Is like the tender gleam
That thrills the evening skies.
1t r,. Is a dream that never faints
Though veal or woe befalls,
But haunts the heart. and softly paints
a picture on its walls.
1t is my dream at midnight
Anu in the crowded mart,
That darling face
With gentle grace
The picture in my heart!
In each mans heart there floats n voice,
That speaks to him alone,
The voice of her, his spirits choice,
He longs to call his own.
The days may hasten like the wind
or lag with Sullen feet,
Some day his wondering heart shall find
The face he longs to meet. -
1t is my dream at midnight
Its dear eyes neer depart
Oh. whore is she,
My bride to be
The picture in my heart?
oh. some hearts range the wide worlt
through
And through to find their mate.
And some amid the darkness rue
That they nave met too late:
a MiStful glance betrays to each
What neither dares to sigh:
A welded bond forbids the speech
That's uttered by the eye
1t is my dream at midnight,
1t makes my pulses start.
Oh, Fate. be kind
And let me find
The picture in my heart!

General Wright thtsls the claims OF the
Omaha exposition people that they will have
900 soldiers at their fair are absurd be

Omaha people propose would cost S7.5OO,O0O
