Railroads as Developers.

At recent conference of represent

and immigration and passenger de.
partments of the railroads in Tennes-
zee committee consisting of Col. j.
B Killebrew. immigration agent of
the Nashville, Chattanooga & St.

the Southern railway, was appointed
to prepare aud address to the people of
the state, demonstrating the interest
of the railroads in the resources and
possibilities of Tennessee and inviting
the people to q cordial and liberal CO.
operation with the companies in an
effort to develop the mineral, forest,
field, garden, and orchard wealth.
The committee says:

New York's Commerce Declining.

The foreign commerce of the port
of New York for the ten months of the
current fiscal year shows q decline, be-
low that of last year during the same
period, of s15, 234, 1877. During that
same period the foreign commerce of
the United States has increased over
the corresponding period for last year
to the extent of $50, 466, FOB.
While the foreign commerce of the
United States steadily increases in
value, that of New York steadily de-
clines. There is no mistaking the
fact of New York's steady decline 10
foreign commerce While during the
ten months ending April 30, 1898, the
increase in the nations exports ex-
ceeded the decrease in its imports to
the value OF about $36 O00, 900, in that
same period, there has been an actual
decline in the aggregate of New York g
imports and exports of more than S15,-
600, 600.
Time was when the foreign COM
merce of the port of New York was 70
per cent. of the nations total. Until
last year it had never dropped below
so per cent. This year it will be only
about As per cent. At this rate of de-
cline in another ten years New York's
proportion of the nations foreign COM
merce will not exceed Is per cent-one
quarter-and by that time Boston will
probably have equaled New York.

INDEPENDENCE DAY.

The soliciting committee appointed
at the recent meeting of citizens, to
raise funds for big celebration on the
Fourth of July, have been hard at
work. They have been pretty we'll en-
couraged, Q, the following list shows.
This list ia q significant commentary
on the public spirit, or lamentable lack
of public spirit, Oh the part Of certain
of our business men.
But the few rebuffs the committee
have received are even more signffi-
cant. Some of our business men, who
have large stores, do big business, and
like to call themselves prominent, and
leading citizens, absolutely refused to
give q cent toward the celebration.
Such niggardliness should not be for
gotten.
Capt. Dillon's Office, Mr.. Courchesne
was appointed chairman of q commit
tee on printing, he to select his own
committee. No other business of inn
portance was transacted, but it was
agreed to publish the following:
NOTICE TO ALL SUBSCRIBERS.
All citizens who have promised to
give or have given any amount, how
ever small, toward the Independence
Day celebration, are urged to be pres

Soldiers Who Cry.

Yesterday L called at the Ninth In
fsntry camp, and Colonel Powell told
the following in tina course of CONVEX
sation, and it struck me as new note.
This regiment came from Plsttsburg
Barracks, New York, and when the
order came to 60 the colonel asked his
captains to draw up small details out
behind to guard aud look after the
property of the government at Platts-
burg.
The colonel drew these details up in
line to instruct them in their duties,
which he did at some length. He said
he noticed tears running down the
faces of some of the men, but 1t did not
strike him seriously at the time. he
dismissed the squad and left the build
ing; but in a string behind him came
the men crying little children. One
old mustached and grizzled chap was
bawliug as though at his mothers
funeral; he begged, he pleaded. he i'm
plored the colonel by all his code not
to leave him behind. Others did the
same, standing there crying, blubber-
ing, and beseeching Colonel Powell
not to make them stay behind. The
old colonel was quite taken aback.
he did not know just what to do. He
liked the spirit, but the discipline had
never had just this sort of shock be-
fore, and it upset him. He told the
men they had been detailed by their
captains to stay behind to guard pro-
perty because they were steady men.
1t did nothing but cause more pleading
and blubbering and the colonel walked
way. He did not tell me if he had a
tear in hfs own eye when he turned his
back, but the men had to be rounded
sharply up and regularly made to stay.
That is the kind of boys to follow the
band, say. FREDERIK REMINGTON

Our Ordnance Machines In England.

A significant item is found in the
reports Of an English ordnance factory,
where 800 men are now employed
night and day. The manager, who is
al ex-navy officer. has been authoriz-
ed to spend s115, 1000 on new buildings
and S85, 900 on new machinery. 1t is
stated that the whole of the last sum
will be expended in the United States,
as the Americans only produce such
machines as are wanted. All this new
plant will be driven by electricity, an
Ohio firm having got the contract for
the whole of It. The machines are
mostly vertical lathes, not obtsinable
in England. Que OF the novelties OF
which the American firm is said to
have disposed of number to the
English government recently, is q g.
inch gun, which, in consequence of the
employment of q base ring of soft cop
er of peculiar shape, pressing
against q ring Of asbestos. will show no
signs of wear. At least, q gun from
which 300 rounds had been fred, had
its muzzle velocity reduced not more
than 100 feet per second EXCHANGE

Since bis appointmentas secretary of
state William Day of Canton, O., has.
not in any way changed his democratic
method of living. He is just the same
wholesome, everyday sOrt of q man that
he was in the Ohio town from which
he halls and where for quarter of q
century he has been the ne ,ghbor and
close personal friend of William Nc
Kinley. At noon the secretary of state
leaves his Office in the big granite
building adjoining the white house aud
walks In democratic fashion down
Pennsylvania Avenue to F street

taurant, where he lunches
side by side with government clerks,
men about town, army officers and
Washington business men. His COM
paniOn during the lunch hour is gen.
orally Comptroller Dawes of the treas
ury. 1t speaks we'll for the simplicity
OF our government when the premier
OF the administration mixes in this
| way among the people and without
pretense or affectation of greatness
| avoids the fashionable clubs of the
town and takes his midday meal in
, this informal fashion. Secretary Day
dislikes men who assume greatne ss ap d
try to be exclusive. He also dislikes q
i
tries to put his hand on his shoulder
and overwhelm him with his society
manners. In this respect he resembles

ular with the plain people,
President Mckinley has probably

gress than any Of his predecessors ever
had. Senator Caffrey of louisiana in

me: 'No one can talk to the presi-

he treats me better thar I ever was
treated before at the white house and

A Fourth of July celebration for Ell
Paso ia now IN assured fact. We will
celebrate, we will celebrate big, and
tho only thing necessary in order to
have the country for three hundred
miles around pouring her folks into Ell
Paso for . glorious demonstration, is
the hearty cooperation Of everybody,
everybody, everybody.
Yes, people, let us sink all miserable
little jeslousies, forget chickering's, lay
aside politics, bury grudges. bring out
our smiling faces, and work for big
day that will never be forgotten.
The opportunity is here. Now for
the acceptance of it. First, let it be
understood that the men who are
working for the success of the celebra-
tion scheme are purely disinterested,
and have no axe to grind except
George Washington's. One thousand
dollars is wanted. Every single cent
of the money will be publicly account
ed for through the newspapers. Every
man who subscribes will have q voice
in the disposition Of the money.
What sort of . celebration do we
want? Here is the place for every
body to make known his ideas. : The
only things 30 far scheduled are . big
bicycle road race, q mammoth process
sion, and flag raising in the plazs,
with hand music, singing, and patrio-
tic addresses.
For the procession, the merchants
and business houses of Ell Faso must
make that q success. We want floats
of every kind, representing allegoricsl
and patriotic scenes, great military
and naval leaders, battleships, business
activities of all sorts, and noise. We
want great animal figures and strange
shapes, all sorts of things to draw .
crowd, and make the crowd yell, and
scream, and cry, aud shoot of noise
factories in large numbers. We want
every organized body to parade in uni-
form. Aud I've want IS much else as
We can get.
Let Gus" celebrate-not "them." 1t
is time to stop saying what she" and
"they" ought to do, and turn In and
tell what 1--WE" are going to do with
sour" great holiday.
Tho time is short. Give, give
literally, give quickly, every body.
