The extension of American COM
merce into all climes has been one of
the most gratifying signs Of national
prosperity during the past few years,
says the Washington Star. Consular
agents have taken a more intelligent
interest in the trade outlook than
heretofore. A system Of reports from
well-posted agents throughout the
buying world has enabled producers
to know what to export and where to
send it. The United States can virtu-
ally supply the world with everything
It needs. The recently developed
lines of trade which have cut ont GER
tain English competitors from profta-
bic connections are signs Of the awak-
ening of this country to its possible
ties in this great field. We can only
hold our own in the fierce competition
which now confronts us in every mar,
by maintaining the quality Of oul
goods and by regulating the prices By
the strict rules OF cost and demand
ssMade in the United States" ought t
be a sign of excellence and homes
charge. AS long as that doctrine pre-
walls the balance of trade ought easil.
to be held on this side.

Al MONOMlANIACAL WITNEss.

THAT calls to mind a queer expert
ence OF my own" said a lawyer wnt
had listened to the story. some years
ago l defended a fellow for murder H.
a little Southern town, and the worst
witness we had against US was an oid
German, who was a stack builder oy
trade. A stack, by the way. is merely
another name for a big chimney. The
old fellow was perfectly honest, ana
gave his evidence in such a clear,
stralg ghtfoIward manner that ! felt my
client was doomed unless / could think
of scme WAY to break him down.
While was cudgeling my brains Il
friend whispered TO me to ask him
how high he could build a stack What
do you meang 1 asked, in surprise.
Never mind, said my friend. Just slip
In THAT question and see. So at the
tail end Of the cross examination /
paused. as IL struck by an after
thought, and said: You are a stack
lbulder, / believer Yes, sir replied
the witness. Wei, sir l continued.

scrutabie change flashed over the Ger
mans face, and he rose excitedly frcm
his chair. AS high as der skyl' he
reared. so high dose angels come
around it like birdsl' In five seconds
he was raving. You see, the man wac
a monomanlac-sane On every subjecl
but one, and my friend happened to
know his weak spot. IT Is hardly nee
essary to- say that his evidence in re-
gard to the homicide was promptly
ruled out By the Judge, and as there
was no other witness Of Importance
any man was cleared. The rascal should
have been hanged, and would have

direct tax on real estate to make up
the deficiency in the state revenue.
Friends OF local option may say that
there would be fewer persons In jails
and almshousee. and tnaf the decrease
.of expense in those particulars would
compensate for the decrease OF reye-
nue., but such has not been the expert
ence in Maryland where the result has
been a direct state tax IN realty. This
question OF state revenue is the most
serious side Of the local option ques-
ton. and It should be fully considered
by the members before they commit
themselves entirely to the submission
Of the question. The stale must have
revenue, ana it rs only a question Of
how It is to be raised If the Kent
and Sussex county members believe
that a direct tax on realty for state
purposes IS preferable to the collec-
uon OF such revenue from those who
engage In the sale OF liquor, and If
their constituents share In that opin-
ion, they are perfectly justified in
their action leading up to submission
Of the question. 1t is a matter which
has an economic as well as a moral
side and both must be fully consld.

In this connection II may be we'll tC
say that the State Sentinel has misrep-
resented the position of Senator

NEWS READINGS IN DAWSON.


Claude Smith tells novel story
about the way the news Of the bow
ing up of the Maine was received in
Dawson City An enterpris!ng Yankee
got hold of the first COPY Of a news
paper containing the account. He
made arrangements for getting the
news abroad in this business like
fashion:
Renting a vacant saloon building,
ne caused bulletins to be Issued Civ
ling an inkling oil the character Of the
news that had been rece-7ed, most ju-
dic,ouslS worded, and announcing
that the full account would be read in
public in the evening in The mammoth
one-story log ediAce next the Blue
Ruin dive on Birthstone street; admis-
sion two pennyweights of gold, rang
ing in value from $l.5O to s1.75.
AT the appointed time the miners
gathered to hear the news. and 200 OF
more Of them tossed their gold dust
into the ioorl1eeperss and crowded
inside. The reading was satisfactory
If the news was not, and there wa.
no grumbhng about the investment
No less than $500, and probably much
more, was realized from that idea.
The reader was a liberal sort Of chap
and he read the ether news in Tia,
paper merely as a courtesy to the as
sembly.
This practice grew as the natior
neared war, and after tie war began
land it is a frequent occurrence for
public reading OF important news tc
be given in Dawson at so much pc
head for admission. And the cooped
up men pay for nothing more cheer
fully than for war news. Their liber
lality in this matter is sometimes takel
advantage oG and stale stuff paine,
off FOR news, and even the Dawson
lCity public is discriminating in thi
particular, and is strongly disposed t,
resent the Notwithstanding Oregon
