Boscobel Dial Enterprise: Freight
business on the ST. Paul road has
been fairly booming the past ten days,
eelipsing all former records. In fact
the train crews arc being worked
nights, days, and Sundays to keep the
great number of trains moving. Inn
mense heavy trains have been hauled
and in some cases the small engines
on the Prairie du Chen division have
been overtaxed and the trains stalled
on heavy grades. This of course
caused delays and "overtimes". Con-
ductor Thos. Kano's way freight crew
of which John Mclver and Thos.
James, OF this city are brakemen,
got in nine days work last week in six
days, being rs long as twenty and
twenty-five hours ON the l0l milo run
from McGregor to Madison. Condue-
tor Chas. Taylor on second section OF
time freight No. 70, was twenty-three
hours running from McGrcgor to
Madison. Some idea Of the volume OF
business the ST. Paul is doing may be
gained from this.

F'oley's Honey and Tar does not
claim to perform miracles. 1t does
not claim to cure all cases OF con-
sumption or asthma, but it does claim
to give comfort and relief In advanced
stages OF these diseases and to usually
cure early stages. IT Is certainly
worth trying by those afflicted or
threatened with these dread diseases.

AND now the little topsy-turvy re-
public of Peru is said to be making
faces at Uncle Sam and trying to get a
navy with which to 60 on the war
path. The idea is ludicrous, of course,
but worse things might happen than
pugnacious Peruvians make such all
attempt. If a reasonable degree of
respect for the American flag cannot
be inculcated into some of those meas
ley South American nations in peace
full way, there is another way in which
it may be done very quickly if oppor-
tunity offers. It might be whole
some thing for them to indulge in a
little serious reflection upon the results
of the present, or recent Spanish war.

HOW THE COUNTRY PROsPE Rs

The annual report of the Bureau of
Statistics for the fiscal year ending
June 30 furnishes most gratifying evil
dence of increasing prosperity through
out the country, notwithstanding the
Spanish war which was naturally ex-
pacted to seriously cripple our foreign
trade, but as matter of fact seems to
have affected it but slightly. Accord
ing to Bradstreet's summary of the re-
port, the years record not only sur
passed that of any previous year in the
total value of expectations, and also
In the exports of manufactured articles,
but for the first time in the history of
the country the exports were twice as
great as were the imports, and the ex-
ports of manufactures exceeded the i'm
ports of manufactures. It is likewise
noteworthy that the value of the ex-
portations of the year 1S97-9S was more
than seven times that of 1865, four times
as much as in 1869, twice as much as in
1877, go per cent more than in 1887, 20
PER cent in excess Of the great COM
mercial year 1892, and $3.50, OOO, 900 more
than the greatest previous year of our
export trade, 1896-97. The balance in
our favor was more than double that of
any previous year, and nearly equal to
that of the past five years combined.
The net importations of gold exceeded
those Of any preceding year in the his
tory of the country, the total gold inn
ports in excess of exports being for the
full year $104, sS5, 279, including coin,
bullion and ore, while no preceding
year reached the $lOO, 100000 mark.
Imports Of merchandise for the year
are less than.in any year since 1885, and,
with this single exception, less than in
any year since 1879, and the balance of
trade in our favor in the fiscal year lust
ended was $6l5, 259, O24, against $685.

THE terms of peace offered to the
Spanish are stated in Washington
dispatch as follows:-The president
does not now put forward any claim
for pecuniary indemnity. but requires
the REIMBURSEMENT of all claim of SOW
ereignty or title to the island of Cuba,
as well as the immediate evacuation by
Spain of the island, the cession to the
United States and the immediate evac-
uation of Porto Rico and other islands
under Spanish sovereignty in the West
Indies, and the like cesssion OF an
island i'm the LadrOnes. The United
States will occupy and hold the city,
bay and harbor Of Manila pending the
conclusion of a treaty of peace, which
shall determine the control, disposition
and government of the Philippines.

RESULTS NOT ON THE MAP.

The war with Spain is fast drawing
TO q close, and though undertaken
without spirit of conquest or expecta'
ton of territorial extension 1t now
seems probable that history will record
as its most tangible if not most I'M
portant result to the United States the
addition of few thousand square
miles of tropical islands to our already
'imperiar domain; but when loyal
and thoughtful Americans come TO con-
slider seriously the advantages which
the unsought and undesired struggle
have brought to us there will be many
who will be disposed to give first place
to the remarkable exemplitication OF
what may be termed 1.-THE American
spirit" which has given to all the
world clearer glimpse of our unity,
power and grandeur as nation than
might have been obtained from the
observations of half century of peace.
1t has brought into the closest bonds OF
union those sections of our great coun-
try which little more than a third
of a century ago were in the throes of
the most stupendous civil strife of mod
ern times; it has furnished proof con-
elusive that we have the will as peo-
pie and the power as a nation to MAIN
tain upon the western continent the
great principles of liberty and human
ity which are the foundation of our
government; it has shown to the old
world that the people nursed in the
great cradle of liberty across the sea
have become strong and self reliant,
Just, generous and humane; it has
proven that we are not less opposed to
oppression now than were our fore
fathers when they rebelled against the
aggressions of George III in 1776; it has
shed a brighter light upon our position
formost among all nations in the arts
of peace and as mighty, if need be, in
the science of war. A writer in a
recent issue of Gunton's magazine de.
fines the "American spirit" as "the
conscious impulse of new type Of
civilization" and elsewhere he calls il
"the strongest force of progress that
has ever arisen anywhere among men,
ut first sought freedom for itself; il
next sought national life for itself
then it took mighty step forward
and sought freedom and hope for a
lowly race here in bondage among us
now it stands forth and demands iber-
ty and opportunity and peace for peo'
pie not Of us or from us but gathered
within the range of our especial mission
I'm the world. This is the noblest
height that any nation has yet attained
in all the history of the race"

THE notable increase in the collec-
tons of internal revenue for the past
eleven months are a sure indication of
the business improvement that has OBJ
tanned i'm this country since the advent
of sound money, protective tariff adj

collections increased 1921 ,225 over
those of May, 1897, while the increase

THE cartoons reproduced in the Au-
gust Review of Reviews from Spanish
journals serve to indicate the density
of popular ignorance in Spain as to the
facts of the present war. For instance,
one cartoon shows Cervera's fleet as
successfully slipping past Sampson at
Santiago; another represents Cervera
as having Schley bottled up; while in a
third Admiral Dewey figures as rat
caught in Spain's Philippine trap.

the faith of the Republican party in the
tariff which it established as soon as it
assumed control in Washington. The
best of it is that the year appears to
have been only the beginning of a long
