WHY We Are Getting cold.

The reason we are getting so much gold
now is that we are selling the rest of the
world a great deal more that we are buy
ing from it. and the reason there is so
much gold in circulation is that people are
not so afraid that the coinage of silver
win be made free as they were two or
three years ago.
The record of the countrys foreign trade
for the last ten months is the most re-
markable in its history. in that time we
have sold about twice as much merchan-
disc as we have bought The total iner-
chaudise exportsNfor the ten months ending
April 80, were $1O25. 426,6Sl. The total
merchandise imports were SOIL. is, lS6. The
excess of exports over imports was S51t-
245, 495. 1t is estimated that the excess of
exports for the fun twelve months will
reach 5000 100000. a Washington dispatch
says: IN eighty-hve years prior to 1876
there were only sixteen years in which the
exports exceeded the imports. Since 1876
there have been only three years in
which the exports have not exceeded the
imports, but never previously has the ex-
cess has been half so great as that
which the present year is expected TO show
The year 1873, preceding period Of great

of exports over imports that year was but

The volunteers do not as a rule complain
of the treatment they have received since
they have been in camp They do not
think it proper for soldiers to complain,
and the great majority of them have en-
dured the unnecessary hardships to which
they have been subjected without muir
muring. Their friends however, who
have visited them in camp have noticed
that they were without satisfactory food
and proper clothing and comfortable
sleeping places, and have made known the
facts.
Mr.. ]. s. Collins, who spent Sunday at
Camp Northen, was surprised to find that
the volunteers still in camp there have
not yet been supplied with either under
clothing or any other kind of clothing.
Some of the men are wearing heavy winter
clothing, and here and there are to be
seen men who are wearing overcoats, hav-
ing no other kind of coats MIR. Collins
says that the food served to the men,
while more satisfactory than it was, is
still not what it should be. He describes
the sleeping Accommodations Of the men as
not equal to those he provides for his
horses.
There is no good reason why the volun-
teers should not have plenty of good food
and comfortable sleeping quarters. That
they haven't them is doubtless due to mis-
management somewhere. We don't know
where to place the blame. whether on the
state authorities or the national authori-
ties, but an investigation would quickly
locate it.
There is some excuse for the delay in
providing uniforms. They have to be
made, but there ought not to have been
any delay in providing the necessary
amount of Undertaking.
There is no excuse, as far as we can see,
why the sleeping accommoda tons 1t
Camp Northen should not be better than
Mr. Collins reports them TO be. 1t is not
creditable to either the state or the nation
that men who come forward promptly to
fight the country's battles should be dealt
with as if there was entire indifference as
to whether or not their health and COM
fort were property cared for.

Advice to Charleston.

The Charleston News and Courier, in an
article urging the building of a new hotel
in that city, refers to the enterprise of
Savannah and the success of the De Soto.
1t took hard and persistent work TO get
together the money for Savannah's big
hotel, and it has taken a great deal of
good business care and management to
conduct the affairs of the Savannah Hotel
Company so as to make the investment
pay; but it may be stated that the enter
prise is a success. There were no
Strings" attached to the subscriptions,
and no special arrangements were enter
ed into with preferred parties. Every sub
scriber stood upon the same footing. But
few of those who subscribed for stock ex-
pected ever to get their money back.
Doubtless some OF the subscribers could
prise was for the good of Savannah, and
the money was forthcoming. Every dol
lar was carefully looked after, and the re-
suit is success. AS a rule the subscrip-
but few subscriptions of less than 81 900
were received 1t was thought that sum
was small enough for those who were in
earnest about putting the project through
men together and try the same plan. our
word for it the OLD city will soon have a
modern hotel such AS Savannah has.

MIR. wanamaker Beaten.

The Pennsylvania state Republican con-
vention, which is to be held during the
first week in June. will probably be cut
and-dried finish to a more than ordinarily
warm preliminary campaign for the Re
publican nomination for Governor There
are three candidates in the field William
A. Stone, John Wanamaker and c. w.
Stone; but the fight has been between Mr..
Wanamaker and what is known as the
Quay ring. of which William A. Stone is
the candidate. For some weeks Mr., Wan
amaker has been upon the stump, making
charges of corruption against the Quay
faction. When asked for details. Mr..
Wanamaker has promptly come to the
front with the facts and figures. He has
not only charged jobbery, corruption and
bribery, but he has proved it. He has
given names, dates and figures where
postmasterships and other offices We're
sold to the highest bidder. He has pointed
out wherein the rate Of taxation is excess
sive, and has shown how it could pc re-
duced He sta ted in recent speech that
he conducted yearly trade aggregaHng
of the state of Pennsylvania, and upon a
careful study he was satisfied that the
taxpayers were being made to pay at least
one-third more than they ought to pay.
He has assailed the transactions of abe
Quay crowd without mercy, but never
without evidence to substantiate all that
he said
An arrangement has been made, 1t is
understood whereby Mr.. Wanamaker will
appear before the state convention. He
will take his case before the jury of the
delegates as it were. But the jury Ans
been packed against him. While Mr..
Wanamaker has been making speeches, the
Quay crowd have been quietly gathering
in the delegates. Senator Quay will also
attend the convention as a delegate, and
if Mr.. Wanamaker attacks him there, he
will make a reply. What the verdict of
the convention will be is practically a
foregone conclusion, since it is estinia@d
in the Pittsburg Post, a dlsinterested,
Democratic paper, that the Quay faction
will have 234 delegates solid, against Sc for
Wanamaker and Is for c. A. Stone, with
only IS doubtful. Quays ability to hold
his force unbroken is not doubted. Mr..
Wanamaker's array of facts and figures,
therefore, will fall upon deaf ears. Quay
will be endorsed and his candidate for
Governor nominated and the convention
and the body of voters represented by it,
the Republican party, will thus give their
sanction to the sale of postofices and
other jobbery trickery and corruption
which Mr.. Wanamaker has exposed. A
very disagreeable feature of the matter
is that Mr. Wanamaker, who is clean
man, has promised to support the nomi-
nee of the convention, who will represent
all of those unclean things which he has
been 80 unsparingly denouncing before
the people from the stump.

Needed Man in the House.

Among weddings slated for the near
future is that of a clever young lawyer
who has just won for his bride charming
girl to whose heart he had long laid siege.

IS not without certain amount of good
opinion regarding himself and particular
~ pfldes himself on being rather favor
lie among girls of his acquaintance Near
ly year ago he first sought the hand of
the bride to be, but she demurred A few
months later he met with a second refusal
but determined to make one more effort
by this time the young woman had come
20 regard him with a good deal of esteem.
This feeling grew in warmth and So
when, a week or so ago, he once more
urged his suit she said the word which
made him the happiest man in own

posterously close at hand, and after some
hesitation, his charmer agreed
Il knew that you would realize that you
would be happier with me than without
me- he suggested, with just a hint Of tri-
umph in has lone.
Perhaps the girl concluded that this was
as good a time as any to take him down
peg or two, for she replied very coolly:
Yes, ] do realize it now. You see, papa
is out of town on business a good deal so
that mamma, aunty and 1 are often quite
alone. 1 have thought 1t all over and
have come to the conclusion that II would
be ever so much safer to have a man in
the house all the time
The accepted lover gasped in astonish-
ment for a moment, but then, seeing a
twinkle in his adored ones eye, forgave
her on the spot On the way home. how
ever, he voted that his future wife would
be a dangerous customer in repartee.

They All Knew smith.

young man who came TO this city
some time ago 10 make fortune recently
visited his old home in a small town in the
upper part of the state, and was surprised
to find that he was received rather coldly.
says the New York Tribune. His reputa-
ton in the old Town had always been fully
up to the PuriIanical standard Of the
place, and therefore he could not account
for his fail from grace in the eyes Of his
old neighbors. He finally learned, now-
ever,-that 1t was all due to the visits to
the town Of some New York travelling men.
The latter had all stayed al the chief no
tel IN the place, and the first one VINO reg
stered had no sooner got his name down
than the motel proprietor said to him:
BY the way, do you know Smith, up in
York? He used to live here, and bright
fellow he was"
DO 1 know Smith?' replied the travel
ing man. ''Well, l should say l do. Why,
played poker with him only two nights
a-o."
A couple of days afterward another New
York travelling man arrived at the hotel,
and the first thing the proprietor asked
him was, did he know Smith
DO l know Smith," exclaimed the trav-
cling man. ''WelL 1 should guess yes. Why
played poker with him last week, and
mighty stiff game it was at that"
The third travelling man who came along
when asked if ne knew the nIustrious
Smith, declared, like the rest, only more
emphadcally, that he did. He added that
ne wished that Smith had been in Jericho
before he had met him, as he was GER
tainly the best poker player he had ever
played against.
1t took poor Smith a week to stcalghten
things out among his old friends and
neignbors, and to convince them that he
dld not know any of the travelling men,
mad never played poker with them nor
with anybody else, and that his reputa-
ton was as spotless and unsullied as it
was in the DAYS of wore

Somebody has suggested that the gov
erment send Admiral Dewey a large con-
Segment Of Mexican silver dollars with
which to pay his men. Two Mexican dol
lars can be purchased with one AmerI-
can dollar, and in Manila the Mexi AN
dollar will purchase more than the Ameri-
can silver dollar because it is heavier.
The suggestion however, will not be ac-
oepted. The men viii be paid in gold, or
money which is equivalent to gold
whether it be spent in Manila, or Paris.
or London or New York.
