CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE.
The Country Is Feeling Pretty Conn
Portable After One Year of Me-
kinIey's ADMINISTRATION.

The first full fiscal year of President
McKinley's administration closed with
the beginning of July. The country
finds itself in the midst of a war
which is being indorsed by every polit-
ical convention, democratic as well as
republican. This is new expert
ence for the Anne erican people. For the
first time in its history the nation is a
unit in approving and vigorously pros
ecuting the war in which it has be-
come involved. Always before there
has been, in time of war, as well as in
advance of it, a peace-at-any-price
party. Now that sentiment is con-
fined to collegiate senility. Herein
President Mckinley has behind him
the whole people as none of his prede-
cessors ever had.
We must wait a few days longer for
the statistics of the old fiscal year.
But enough is known to warrant the
assertion that it will make most en-
couraging showing, especially as com
pared with the previous fiscal year.
The only basis of comparison now is
the first II months of last year
and the year before. Our imports
exceeded our exports in those monthG
of 1897 to the amount of $14,4S7,753,
but in 1898 the exports exceeded the
imports, $2Os, ,OO3, ,917, a difference in
favor of 1898 of over 1929 100000.
This enormous balance of trade
in our favor has had the effect of
greatly increasing the country's stock
of gold, the imports of which during
the IL months exceeded the exports
to the amount of $102, .9S5. This
gold has gone into the circulation of
the country, and added that much to
the actual currency of the people.
The total receipts of the treasury
for the first ten months of the three
tariffs of this decade have been pub
lished and serve as a powerful statis-
teal Endorsement of the present adj
ministration. The Dingley tariff has
now been in operation ten months.
The receipts of the treasury for that
time, exclusive of Pacific railroad
sales, were S265, $50, ,70G. The receipts
for the first ten months of the Wilson
tariff were 1924, 1896, All; for the first
ten months of the Mckinley tariff,
1912 O62, sos. The results under the
Dingley tariff were substantially as
predicted by Mr.. Dingley in his speech
in support of the bill in its final form.
The republican party does not indulge
in random guesses on matters suscep-
tible of close estimates, and it's calcu-
lations, like its promises, can be re-
lied upon.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

JACOB WAS WILLING.
He Knew What Was Wanted, But He
Didn't Know Exactly How to
Express 1t.

OF course it was because Jacob Nuzen-
schmidt had never attended meeting of the
Hamilton common council that he made the
break that is credited to him. Nearly every
one laughed when he was elected alderman,
but the day after the new councils first
meeting they laughed harder.
Jacob had seat up toward the front. He
was fat and the desks were further apart
there, that's why he was given the position.
At the beginning of the meeting resolu-
tion was offered advocating the paving OF
Sibley street.
as there anyone to second this?" asked
the president of the council, for that's the
way they do things in Hamilton. -,
"Vhat dos dot meaned? Dot seckonting"
asked Jacob of his neighbor. He was In
formed.
Thereupon he rose to his feet, and, tap
ping his breast three times, he exclaimed:
'D0t ees seckoneded by me, andt it."
"What is it you second?" asked the chair,
having forgotten the original resolution in
the time that it had remained unsupported.
And Jacob replied: II seckoneded dot dot

SEALED UP THE CABLE.
Bianco's Messages to Madrid are Now In
Custody of American Officers.

Washington. July 21.-Two days
ago Chief Signal Officer Greeley cabled
instructions to his officers in Santiago
to seal up and place a guard over the
three cable lines connecting Santiago
with Cienfuegos, whence by land
line communication is established
with Havana. Yesterday Mr.. Greeley
was informed that his orders had been
carried into effect. The closing of the
Cienfuegos cables absolutely isolates
Havana and Gen. Blanco from Madrid.
Blanco's only means of communica-
ton with Madrid now is by the Key
West cable, which is under the strict
est censorship by our government. AS
"A result of the sealing of the San
iago-Cienfuegos cables several cipher
dispatches passing between Blanco
and the Spanish government drifted
into this country yesterday. 1t is
scarcely necessary to say they did not
reach their destination.

Reunion OF Confederate Veterans.

Atlanta, Ga, July 21.-Ten thou
sand Confederate veterans and their
friends filled the vast auditorium at
Piedmont park yesterday and cheered
to the echo speeches which eulo-
gized the Confederacy, extolled ''one
nation" and cast glowing tributes
upon the records of the soldiers of the
south in the war with Spain. Gen.
Gordon delivered splendid speech,
which thrilled the hearts of his audit
ors and set the rebel yell echoing into
the rafters. The Grafton of the day
was delivered by Gen. Charles e.
Hooker, of Mississippi.

THE DIGNIFIED WOMAN.
Gus Woman, hut She Was
Provoked.

She is dignifed woman, and sometimes
she is overpowering. The unwary do not
perceive this quickly, however. The dig
nlhed woman has been spending some time
in one of the hospitals of this city She
went there for rest and quiet Since she
has recovered her health she tells some
amusing stories of her experiences. Here
is one:
The dignifed woman was walking down
the hall one day when she was accosted by
the curious woman. The curious woman
had been wondering about the dignfed
woman, and she said:
81 beg your pardon, madam, but I would
like to know what you have been operated
on for?"
"What?' exclaimed the dignified woman.
well, explained the curious woman my
friend in the next room and / have been
wondering about you. You walk about the
hall with such light and sprngy step that
we wonder about what kind of an operation
you have undergone"
The curious woman held her ground. She
was determined to know what was the mat
ter with the dignifed woman.
The digniied woman replied
i have not been operated upon vet"
"On!" said the curious woman, sympa-
thetically.
mo, l am not familiar with operations"
said the dgnifed woman.
The curious woman interrupted: "They
are very successful here. Don't be wor-
ried"
81 am wondering about an operation On
the BRAIN" said the dignifed woman, in a
very dignfied and distant manner. 81 won
der if they could operate upon the brain in
such a way as to enable people to attend to
their own affairs
The curious woman snorted and walked
away in high dadgeon.
The dignlfied woman was severe, it is true,
but she was provoked to it.-St. Louis Re-

Washington, July 21.-Interest at
Camp Alger was divided yesterday
among the subjects of moving camp,
typhoid fever and a possible order to
move southwark. Nothing has been
heard to indicate that any of the Sec
ord corps has been selected to go to
Porto Rico, and ii is believed that the
transfer of troops to Dunn Loring in
dicates that the regiments there will
remain some time. There are so cases
of typhoid fever at Fort Myer. Most
of them are not of a serious nature.
Four new cases were reported yester-
lay. all from the Sixth New York.

STAND BY THEIR COUNTRY.
The People Hasten to Accept Low
Rate Loan of the Gov
ernmens.

The applications for the govern
ment's war loan of $2O0,000,000 aggre-
gate $790,0OO,000 The success of the
popular feature of the loan appears in
the fact that subscriptions in $500 and
less have been received to the amount
of $40 1000 900, which is expected to be
largely increased from the July l
withdrawal of savings bank deposits.
This hurry to accept low rate loan
of a government engaged in war is one
of the most impressive signs of the
times. 1t shows the American peoples
confidence in their own nation, in
which they are the governing power.
1t shows the grandeur of a country to
which a foreign war is an incident
that is not embarrassing. And it
shows the absurdity of the cry that
the rich are growing richer and the
poor poorer"-an absurdity demon
strated by the revelations of the dis
tribution of wealth among the peO-
pie.
Nor should it be forgotten that the
credit of this nation which finds an
eager compe titon for its bonds re-
suits from the record of this country
as an inflexibIe opponent of repudia-
tion. Those who in party platforms
and in Legislative halls have refused
the enticemeuts that lead to repudia-
ton. and have fought with great labor
the battle Of financial integrity, have
their works following them in a gov
ernment which can borrow at will and
lind its creditors among its own peo-
pie.-Troy Times.
