AoI kEECAN ALLIANCE.
~ to see the Courier
fiAes and other papers in
steering clear of the pro-
AAsIa- American alliance. Ma
<s0cs DO not take steps backward.
Ne is no danger of the United
STATES making an alliance with her
natural enemy. We can fight this
war without any assistance from Eng
land. The party that favors an ALI
ance of this kind would be swept
from the face of the earth. The Eng
lish Government seeks an alliance
with us now because she is in trouble,
not because she loves us. The mo-
ment any statesman in this country
advocates such suicidal policy that
moment will he dig his political grave.
The German-American citizens will
not stand it. They are as much OPP
posed to it as the Irish. This is not
an Anglo-Saxon country. We are a
nation made up of Celts, Germans,
French, and anything but English.
The emigration statistics show this.
If it was to the advantage of the Eng
lish Government to fight us now it
would do so. Russia and France
have been our allies for long time,
and we are not going to snub them
now. "No entangling alliances" was
a good enough motto for Washing
ton, and it is good enough one for
the present generation.

The Indiana Democrats put a
strong labor plank in their platform.
When the Kentucky Democrats meet
they should do the same. They could
do no better than to copy the Indiana
plank.

before breakfast.
1t is estimated that there are Is,
900, 900 people now in these United

people have come to this country from
Ireland, making this nationality have
ao per cent. Of the total population

make the total Irish-American popu-

Irish constituted 4S per cent. of the
European immigrants, and the esti-
mate made is not giving the Irish
more than their due.
All ofthose al, 900, 900 have reason

Likely to Show a Small Total
for 1898.
THE NOVEMBER STATEMENT
Very Large Reduction as Compared
With Previous Years.
Greatest Decrease in Jute Manufac-
ture, Wooden Yarns and
WOrsted Yarns.

1mportations of manufactures from
Great Britain into the United States seem
likely to show an unusually small total
in the year 1885, The November state
ment of exports from Great Britain to the
United States, which has just reached the
Trasury Bureau of Statistics, shows III
nearly every case that the expectations
of manufactures in the eleven months end
ing November 30, We're less than in the
corresponding months of earlier years.
Imports of manufactures in the early part
of the year 1897, were, of course, abnor-
mally great, and a comparison of the
eleven months of 1898 with the correspond
ing months of 1897 would in many cases
be misleading.
a comparison. however. with the corre-
spending months of 1896 and 1898 shows in
nearly all cases smaller imports in 1888
than in either of the earlier years. When
it IS remembered that the imports of the
eleven months of 1856 were the smallest
with a single exception since 1890 and
that those of 1895 were less than in the
three years which preceded IL, comparf-
son of 1895 with these two years will not
be considered an unfair one, While TO
compare with the years 1894 or 1897. in
which the tariff laws were being consid-
cred and enacted would be manifesty un-
just.
In nearly all classes of manufactured
articles the figures of the eleven months
of 1898 show "A reduction as compared
with 1896 and 1893, and very large re-
duction as compared with 1887. In Jute
manufactures, for instance, the imports
of the eleven months of 1885. were 95.2SI :
800 yards against 143. .9S4, 800 in the cores
y,onding months of 1897: in woolen yarns
the drop was from IS 900 pounds In 1897,
to 600 in 1875: in worsted yarn from
ga 300 pounds in eleven months of 1897
to lG2 900 in 1895: in wooden tissues, from
SO46 100 yards in eleven months OF 1891 to
LAS 800 in eleven months of 1888, and In
worsted tissues from 40,667,6o0 yards in
eleven months of 1897 to Il, FOG, 400 in the
corresponding months of 1888; these hg-
ures, il should be understood, relate t0
imports from the United Kingdom.
The following table shows the exports
of leading articles from Great Britain to
the United States in eleven months end
ing November 3d. 1895 as stated by the
official reports of the British government
for the month of November, compared
with the corresponding period of 1896 and

Mrs. Caroline B. Strong, being hidden in
an upper room.
When the police arrived at the place
half an hour later, the house was still
barricaded, and 1t was some time before
they could induce the inmates to open
the door, They finally placed mother

worth $50, 600, which was mortgaged to
the Lehman estate. A foreclosure was
made, and a writ of dispossesslon was
issued Deputy Sheriff Nye and two
companions attempted to serve the writ.
Nye was answered by the boy, Mrs.
Crosby's only son, who said his mother
was not at home.

open the door. but the lad refused. At
last Nye threatened to break the door
down.
