illegal aggressiGns. of trusts. We shall re-
joice with the whole nation, though, if the
President sticks to his apparent determina-
tion to oust his present War Minister and
supplant him with some man of average
American intelligence and honesty.
But let us not forget the possible sig
niicance of Alger's exultant proclamation
when his alliance with Pingree was first
announced and he was questioned about
the probability of his retirement from the
Cabinet. He declared then that he had no
idea of resigning, and he did not believe
the President wanted him to resign. Com
menting upon this declaration, an Ohio
newspaper. which is supposed to be well
informed upon matters affecting the Presi-
dents relations, said, in effect, that Mark
Hanna knew why Alger talked in this de-
fiant manner, and that Mr.. Mckinley dared
not ask Alger to resign.
1t is well to keep these things in mind
while speculating upon the probability of
Alger's retirement from the Cabinet.

A CURRENCY FAMINE AHEAD.
The Scarcity of Paper Money Wor-
ries Western Bankers,

Omaha, Neb., July 11.-Bankers in Oma-
ha and Council Bluffs are complaining of
a currency famine in this section, and say
that if the situation does not improve soon
currency will demand premium
year ago or more everybody wanted
gold, and the bankers had . fIiculty in get
ting customers to take paper money. Now
the demand is for bills of lower denomina-
tions, and business men are not only re-
fusing to take gold out of the banks, but
they do not like to handle silver, hence the
famine. The bankers here say Eastern
bankers will not send them much currency.

1t is altogether probable that Boni
Castellane wishes he had not insulted
and challenged Prince Albert of Monaco,
who frankly states that as the offender is
man who he has good reason to think
exploits himself under a spurious title,
the Castellane affront is only an imperti-
nence which il would be ridiculous to take
seriously. In future Boni would do well
to dilute his absinthe and try to remem-
ber what manner of creature he really is.

spAIN's EXPORT TRADE.
1t Is Not Affected by the Loss of He
Colonies.

Colonies.
London, July 1.-THE British consul at
Barcelona, in his annual report, says that
Span's average exports amount to 774,794,-
446 pesetas annually. The exports to the
Antilles and the Philippines are 1s5, ,243. 712
pesetas, and having the same netry rights
as the United States, Spain will not feel
the loss of her colonies for the present at
least.
The inhabitants of the islands speak
Spanish and Catalan, and the Spanish
manufacturers know their requirements,
besides having the cheapest labor. Hence,
it is said, Spain will keep her trade pre-
dominance in her lost colonies for many
years.

A Pacific Gable.

No cable mas yet been laid across
the Pacific ocean. 1t is impossible for
the government to telegraph to it's
new possession of Hawaii, and when
Admiral Dewey wishes to telegraph to
the government at Washington, his
message must go by roundabout
route through China, India and Eng
land. A cable could be laid now, with
the landing stations all on American
territory. 1t might be laid from San
Francisco to the Hawaiian islands, a
distance of 1000 miles, thence to
Wake island, thence 1000 miles fur
Their to Guam, in the Ladrones, and
thence to Manila, $500 miles farther.

question, but the next congress will
probably enact the necessary legisla-
ton.

STARTLING COSTUME.
Worn h. the Gay Bellies of the Upper
Niger.

Lieut.. Hourst, of the French army,
has published lively personal MARIA
tive Of his recent explorations in West
Africa. With four white companions
ne pluckily sailed down the Niger river
in an aluminium sailing boat of about
seven feet beam, managing to carry
her and her smaller consorts, manned
by friendly natives, the whole distance
from Timbuctoo, past Say and Bussa,
to the sea- without serious accident
or loss of life. Being a Frenchman,
the most amusing parts Of his book
are devoted to descriptions Of the
Negridan ladies, whom he studied
along the river banks. He was not
captivated by their beauty. Indeed,
he compares them to Durham oxen,
or negresses, who, like Englishwom-
en-, when they are ugly at all, are real
ly revoltingly ugly" The corpulent
matrons of the Niger eagerly clad
themselves in yards upon yards OF
cheap Paris velveteen, but there were
girls of more slender make, whose sole
attempt at dressing was staining their
LEGS to the knees with rocou or red
dye. (which gives them the appearance
at a distance Of wearing nothing but
light red stockings" The gay lieu
tenant confesscJ that he was confused
as shy Englishman at the unwanton
sight, but one of the red-legged beau
ties, noticing his Embarrassment, re-
marked very sensibly: care we so
badly made that we need hide our
selves?" All in good time. When we
are old like our mothers we will wear
clothes" This frank explanation
seems, somewhat unaccountably, to
have put the visitor at his ease. The
men folk likewise have their anus
ing traits. A declaration of war was
one day brought to the lieutenants
boat. While it was being translated
M. Hourst covertly watched the am
bassador. After delivering his mes
sage he had prudently sought refuge
behind a piece of rock, but finding
that no notice was taken of him, he
peeped out, first with one eye, then
with both eyes, and finally ventured
into the open with the plaintive in
terrogatory: as there any hope Of
my getting a pair of breeches?"

that such a writer as Shakespeare

dramatic to the archaic No-plays, pri-
vately enacted before select audi
ence. Thus the patrons of the stage
belong almost exclusively to the mid
die and lower classes, but these flock
in such numbers to the playhouse that
the best players draw very large sal
aries. Last spring, after a season OF
four weeks at Osaka, Mr.. Danjuro's

and friendly tea houses. Devoted to

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelliug colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they IRE pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

CITY SCHOOLS IN SESSION,
Large Attendance of Pupils.

The work of a new school year be-
gan in the Warren City Schools on
Monday this week. The teachers
are: Prof. VIM. Angus, Superin-
tendent and Principal; Miss Edna
Fawcett, Assistant Principal :;
Miss Freda Samuelson, Miss Kittie
Haven, Miss Fannie Rutherford,
Miss Nettie Solum, Miss Edna Ten.
nison and Miss Susie Easton, teach
ers in the grades. It is the largest
teaching force in the history of the
school. An enrolment of 27O pupils
is reported thus far, but this will be
largely increased very soon, as some
have been unable to attend owing to
the effects of the recent vaccination,
and others have yet to assist their
parents with farm work.
The school building is now COM
pletely finished, and is credit to
the city. The eight large class
rooms are light, airy, we'll ventilated,
heated by steam, and present cheer:
full appearance. Warren is proud of
her schools. Everything at present
points to a very successful school
year. Prof. Angus is hard worker
and he is bound the school shall forge
ahead under his management. Yes
terday he received letter from the
State University authorities stating
that future graduates of the Warren
High School would be admitted to
the university upon their diplomas, a
privilege which only a few of the
largest High Schools in the state
have enjoyed.

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.

The statistics OF our foreign trade
for July show the astonishing in
crease of more than $22,OOO,OOO in
the value OF our exports for that
month over July OF last year. Our
imports for the month increased
over $9, 100000 above the total for
the same month one year ago. This
increase was made up of three mill
lions in imports OF animals and food
articles; two millions in imports of
raw materials for our Industries; al
most two millions in manufactured
articles for the mechanic arts, and a
million in articles classified as luxu-
ries.
These figures show the healthy
condition OF affairs with the Ameri-
can people. While we are importing
more than we were a year ago, we
are also selling much more abroad.
The balance of trade in our favor
reached $3.50, 1859, ,534 for the first
seven months of the present calendar
year. There is no Indication on any
hand OF any change in conditions.
Our industries are fully employed,
business is booming, the farmers are
