The frequency Of frightful gas explo-

brings to mind the comparative rarity
of such explosions in Great Britain and

accounted for by the fact that abroad

In allusion to the numerous suicides,
the Express says "the majority OF the
cases are the result of depression Of
spirits, which may In some measure find
its cause in the long period of dry
weather." Depressed spirits often lead
to suicide, but whether the primary
trouble is dry weather or dry treasury
is debateable question.

business interests, while Americans
have been comparatively Indifferent.
Since the close of the war with Spain
there has been some evidence Of greater
American push in Mexico, and this is
said to have aroused bitter antagonism
on the partIof the foreign traders. The
latter fear that formidable business
invasion by the American element is
probable. The prestige acquired by the
United States in the war with Spain
has certainly improved the opportunity
for American enterprise In Mexico.
Bordering this prosperous and rapidly
growing country, on the north. Is the
state Of California. For transportation
between the two countries we have the
broad Pacific ocean, with no traffic
rate to absorb the lions share Of prod
ucts. With this natural advantage 1t
would seem that trade relations between
Mexico and California might be enlarged
to vast proportions.
The Pacific slope in Mexico Is thus far
untouched by European
trade influences. It is a section far be-
hind the eastern and middle portions of
the country, but 1t is rich in natural re-
sources. This is the section which nat
urally claims attention of California as
a field for business expansion. The fact
that the quick-witted Japanese have al
ready invaded Western Mexico, for In
dustrial purposes, should arouse Cali
fornia to the Importance Of early action.
The danger of delay Is seen In other
parts Of Mexico, where foreign business
interests are so strongly rooted that
Americans find themselves at great dis
advantage.

Judge Mcguire adverted to the Repub-

triotism, in the war with Spain, was
of a higher grade than that Of the DEM

claim on election day. In reports from
returning soldiers in the east We hear
of very general expression to the effect
that the soldiers and their influence will
be found pitted against the Republican
party at the polls.

From San Francisco we learn that
IAN effort is being made to have Briga-
dier-General Miller made major-gen-
eral" In furtherarce of this purpose
the officers Of regiments have sent tele-
grams to the congressman in their re-
spective states urging them to ask Pres
ident Mckinley to promote General
Miller" Is that the way promotions in
the service are procured? General Miller
may be worthy of promotion, but the
procurement of 1t through the influence
of congressman is an example OF the
sort Of military management that has
aroused the indignation Of the whole
American people. The main charge
against Secretary Alger Is that he was
induced by political influences to foist
incompetent men upon the military es-
Enlistment. The case In point is fair
illustration of the way the lobby is per-
mitted to run the war department.

Chicago Lawyer Who Has a Good

DID you ever know any man SO ab-
sent-m1nded as to forget he had a wife

brother Of Congressman Thomas, Of

which aptly illustrates this curious

A large proportion of the inhab.

Grow th Exports of Manufacture

The millions of Americans en-
gagged in manufacturing industries
are gratifed to learn from the
monthly official reports that the
foreign demand fol: their products
is steadily increasing. In the eight
months ending with August 81,
1898, the total value of nlanufac-
tured articles exported was $201,-
444,eo6, against 1856, ,902,o92 in
the corresponding months Of 1897.
For August, 1898, the manufac-
lures exported amounted to $685.
s02, 1856, against S22,471, ,772 in the
same month of 1897. The impor-
tant point is established that the
world is more and more attracted
to the handiwork of our artisans.
Our factories have secured an en-
larged market abroad and the in
creased demand was never as
marked as during the present adj
ministration. The story is told in
the latest commercial summaries.
In eight months of this year iron
and steel manufactures were cx-
ported to the value of $50, 1925, ,OS2,
against $40, 1915 in 1896. Ex-
potts Of steel rails were So, ,955, ,OO5
in 1898, S1,6O2, ,334 in 1897, and
$799, 14S in 1896, a striking in
crease. Locomotives exported to
August 81, this year, numbered
42S. against 245 in 1897 and 252 in
1896. In August last fifty-nine To-
comotives were sent abroad, an
average of nearly two a dav.
If this growth were confined to
one line Of manufacturers, or to hall
a dozen the significance of the mat
ter weuld be doubt. But almost
the entire list shows the same up-
ward movement in foreign markets,
1t extends to railway cars, agrical-
tural implements, telegraph, tele-
phone and trolley apparatus, cop
per manufactures, cotton fabrics,
carriages, clocks and watches, win

lamps, musical instruments, roof.
