IL Is significant that while the balance
of trade against Great Britain for 1897
was sufficient to threatsn bankruptcy
even TO that great nation, the proceeds
from British shipping were sufficient TO
make the taancs good. ~.
In a word. British shipping is today the
great reliance of that commercial nation.
The enormous'sum of $500, Oco 600 repre-
ssnts Great Britain's excess OF imports
over exports for last year, and the figures
are not much larger than they have oeen
for several years past. How long could
Great Britain stand the drain OF SO much
compensation found in SOME direction, it
would be as needless to specalate-in the
case Of a nation ms IN the casa of an i'm
dividual whose expenditures were on an
equal scale beyond his receipts.
That compensation, fortunately for
Great Britain, is found in her merchant
ships, the flag OF which flies in every
port carrying the goods for which she
pays so handsomely. The United States
Sails to Great Britain immense quantities
OF products. but the British ships take
them over the water, and "a considerable
part of the money that is received for the
products goes back to Great Britain in
the pockets of her ship owners.
British ships attend not only to British
commerce, but to the commerce OF other
nations as well. Tho United States with
favorable trade balance paws to foreign
shipping matter of $500, 000 600 a year
for freighting, most of which goes to our
British cousins which is their rare good
fortune and so much out for the Yankee
nation. Great Britain's merchant marine
is her financial salvation when trade is
against her. The lack of like servics
simply reduces the profits that should
legitimately accrue to the American
nation.
One of these days Congress will wake
up and restore the American merchant
marine. The proceeds that wonId accrue
would go far toward our prosperity and
would help materially to furnish the
sinews of war ms well, should we need
them.

As BAD As HANGING.

Emma Bsptiste lives In Montana. She
quarrsiled with her husband one day and
shot him. He died from the effects Of the
shot, The jury acquitted Emma on the
plea of temporary insanity, and now a
miner poet OF Montana contributes the
following lines TO the general rejoicings
over Emma's good luck:
No rope shall pinch fair Emma's neck,
No iron bars retard.
Gentlemen, she's out at last and stin on
deck,
May piuy In any varI.
Her train reeled when she shot her lord.
her mind went up the.spout
The Jurors saw IL in that light;
Not long did they stay out.
Her lawyers wept whsn thoy summed
1t up,
The court room was liz tears,
But when the verdict was brought in
The sops gave place To cheers.
Miss Green tohbed up and down for ioy.
"Oh, bless the Lori 90 she cried.
Ems friends all thought the verdict great.
But some folks thought twas snide.
Whether jury would acquit the poet
on the ground of temporary insanity we
cannot guess. But If ws were Emma we
should have rather preferred hanging.

II In not easy TO express the thoughts
that the sudden death Of Henry G. Clark
calls mp. In public way, he probably
had as few friends and supporters as any
man who ever looked for following In
behalf of cause in this community.
But that support represented devotion,
q zeal and a onfdenoe that any man In
public life might well be proud OF, and
that was a matter OF astonlshment TO
persons who did not really know Mr..
cesded in maintaining . vigorous minor
ity on all local questions made him par.
ticuiarly interesting to those of his fellow
citizens whose political fortunes were not
jeopardized by his active participation In
the proceedings He was an uncompro-
missing fighter and he, apparently, loved
to court the most bitter sort of opposi-
tion. He never drew the line at person
alities, and the result was that in deal.
Ing with him, his opponents mads their
attack personal, too, so that the cause
that he represented was usually subor-
dinated and was fought or defended as
"Clark's." Few men ordinarily have
the courage snd hardihood to invite such
personal distinction when, as In his case,
it is not OF the popular side, although not
many care to decline 1t when il represents
the praise OF their fellow citizens. And
yet Sc sincere did he seem to be and so
vigorously did he fight his battles that
more than one citizen of the inevitable
majority against him has doubtless been
moved to feel that after all, "Clark was
more than half right"
4 At all events, no one would pretend
that Mr.. Clark himself was not invari-
ably convinced that he was right and
that the history Of the progress of our
city bears violence that he exercised an
influence for which he was not always
credited, for good deal that Mr.. Clark
has contended for, from time to time is
found there recorded.
Outside Of public life and the turmoil
of politics to which he delighted to con-
tribute, Mr.. Clark was the mildest and
gsntlest of men, courteous and kindly In
his relations with his employees, as quiet
as he was liberal in his charities, his
business undertakings marked by equal
intsgrity and enterprise In his death

loyal and public spirited men, many OF
Its people friend, and all Of us a fellow

Two doctors and professional nurse have

known as lexus cachinnatis. Ii Is form OF

In deep slumber, his cotal lips curved into IN
infantie smile, which is merely remir Is
cence Of the dernoniac merriment that poured
out of him. The thing began in this way
Kehout and others attended a New Years
party. They chased the glowing hours with
flying feet. Tiring of this, one Of the royal
spirits always to be found at such gatherings
suggested that Miss Frances T.ans' watch
and chain be stolen in jest This struck Krh-
out as being quite the funniest thing conceiv-
able and ne acquiesced eagerly.
The watch was deftly distracted from the
person of the unconscious young woman by
man who has great future in front of him.
Kehout was made custodian. He began laugh
ing but was lilo to check him self In an hour
or so, and, although breaking into an IRE
pressible giggle now and then. on the whole,
managed to held himself well in hand. This
was difficult, especially when the girl began
CRYING about the watch. but he is man OF
great will power.
Through an error of forgetfulness the watch
was not returned TO Miss Lans that night,
and when Kehout walked in the morning and
found il under his pillow he was attacked by
fresh paroxysm, which he conquered with
di ficulty All day Sunday he wrestled with
his mirth. People on the sidewalks were as
tonished TO see him stop and double up and
slap his legs and come within an ace Of pitch

Then he let 60 oil hold. No man could be ex-

lay in his cell and laughed until the rafters
of the station rang. Any mention of time
pieces made him worse. When the turnkey
said he was going off watch Kehout rolled
on the Aoor and shrieked.
Yesterday, being told the true state Of the
case, and having been given ber watch, Miss
Lans withdrew her charges, and Justice
