The Man who Told the Truth.

There was a man who said, one day,
Unto himself: Thereafter
Shall not be base enough to say
single word that is lie;
The truth I'll tell TO each and all,
To high aud low and great and small"
And so he bravely started out,
His heart was strong, his spirit bold;
OF all the things he talked about
The truth and nothing else was told;
He scorned the tricks of speech through which
Men make themselves adored and rich.
He told the whole truth nothing more,
And when they bore him home, that night,
His face was battered ny and sore,
And he was what Is called n sight
He'd lost his joh his friends We're few,
But he had learned n thing or two.

cratic tariff policy as means of en-
larging the exports of manufactures.
Last year was the greatest in our
history for exports of farm products
and the small decrease for the present
year cannot be regarded as a serious
matter. 1t is due to better crops
abroad and TO the promise OF larger
havests in competing countries. As It
is the agricultural exports of the pres
ent year will probably be ahead of any
previous year except 1898 What we
lose in this direction is more than made
up by the exports of manufactures, so
that the balance of trade in favor Of
this country is maintained, while the
larger employment and better pay of
labor in the manufacturing Industries
improve the home market for our
agricultural producers. Thus on the
whole the statistics show a very salts
factory condition of foreign commerce.

SIGNS or PEACE IN LuzoN.

Courier-Journal The Philippine insurtec-
tion seems to be on its last and fast legs.
Chicago POST The Filipincs are still run
ming, but a good many OF them have changed
their direction. Their haste now is to get
inside the American lines.
Washington Star: II the head Of what
seems TO have been Aguinaldo's domestic
literary bureau has really been captured the
insurgont cause has indeed been dealt a
deathblow
Baltimore American: General Wheeler
wants congress to begin its session by de-
claring In unmstakahle terms that the SOW
ereignty of the United States is to be main
tained IN the Philippines. and thus dispel
Aguinaldo's illusion that the ti-imperial-
lists can assist him. The sturdy democracy
Of the general makes the lack of patriotism
Of some OF his party leaders all the blacker
by contrast.
Philadelphia Press In the descriptive vo-
cabulary Of the street, Aguinaldo by this
time realizes that he is "up against the real
thing" II he ever cherished the idea that
our soldiers were in the habit of conducting
military campaigns as their immediate pred
ecessors in the Philippines had done, then
his mad fight by bullock cart and mule has
undoubtedly iolted it Loose from his dis
torted faculties.
Philadelphia Record: Aguinaldo's army
has apparently been absorbed into the gen.
eial mass Of the population. The reception
of MacArthur's troops by the inhabitants Of
San Carlos, headed by the mayor and brass
band formerly attached to the insurgent
army, was a typical event. Probably the
friendly alcalde of San Carlos himself lately
held a generals commission from the Ag
uinaldo government" The Mauser rifles
hidden by the insurgents, now ccnve ted int
amigos" may presently be forthcoming.
The offer Of $50 reward by our military au-
thorities for every weapon surrendered may
prove an irresistible inducement.
Globe Democrat: One more question will
be added to the large number with which
congress will have to grapple when 1t con-
venes week hence. civil authority of
some sort will have to be provided for the
Philippines. The military operations on
any important scale are likely to be over
by the time that congress gets together,
and the purely political aspect of the ques-
tion will present itself. This will offer
difficulties, but they will involve no loss of
life and no further increase of expenditure
After a continuance, with one long inter-
ruption, of a state of war since April 21
1S9S when the Spanish government gave
Minister Woodford his passports, peace is
about to dawn for the United States.

the PARrY or BoURBoNISN.

Says the Brooklyn Eagle whether
bourbonism or the far better spirit oi
nationality shall mark the democracy
in congress is of interest and mpor.
tancc to those who put country above
party" The indications are that the
democracy will maintain its character
as the party of bourbonism and OBJ
structon. The recent meeting of the
democratic national committee showed
that the party intends to adhere to
the Chicago platform in its entirety,
adding thereto opposition to the foreign
policy of the administration. The
democratic leaders continue to proclaim
that the silver question is Il live issue
which will have a prominent place In
their campaign of next year. While
they are compelled to admit that there
is some prosperity, they declare that it
is not substantial and cannot last and
reiterate the familiar theory, proved to
be utterly fallacious, that there can he
no permanent prosperity until we have
the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver. 1t is safe to predict that the
democrats in congress will avail them
selves of every opportunity that offers
to advocate this cardinal principle of
the party.
That they will antagonize the foreign
policy of the administration at every
point is assured. The attitude of the
national leader makes this inevitable.
1t matters not that territorial eXpnn-
sion is an accomplished fact and that
the responsibilities it involves must be
met. The democratic party will con
tinue to decry what has been done and
will oppose every measure necessary to
carry out the obligations and duties the
government has assumed. There is
will be an end to organized resistance
to the authority and sovereignty
of the United States in the Phil
ippines, but suppression of the
insurrection will not silence demo
cratic denunciation of the course of
the administration or stop the false cry
of mperialism-shown to be false in
the fact that local civil government is
being established in the Philippines as
rapidly as American authority there is
extended and made secure.
The democratic party as now consti-
tutcd and under its present leadership
is utterly incapable of showing n spirit
of nationality. 1t does not appeal to
the patriotism Of the country, nor is it
in sympathy with any progressive ten
dency. Its principles are essentially
reactionary. 1t would overthrow our
sound monetary system and give the
country a debased currency; it would
inaugurate tariff policy destructive of
home industries; and it would relin-
Quish all that has been achieved
through the valor of our soldiers and
sailors, at whatever sacrifice of ma
tional honor and duty. To assume that
such n party can attain to the control
of national affairs is to confess a lack
of faith in the intelligence, the integrity
and the patriotism of the American
people. ...

TURKEYS REFLECTIONS.

What's the use of gobblng, gobbing,
AN the. year and getting fat!
What's the use, oh fellow Turkeys!
When we only die at last?
Die at last a death emily;
Die upon a bloody log:
Die all bleeding, stuck and screaming,
Die the death of any ho-.
Rise in protest Fellow Turkeys!
'Tis your dutyi 'TiS your need!
Starve yourselves and gladly suffer
To save life unto our breed:
StarVe yourselves, refuse to fatten,
Starve yourselves, refuse to grow,
Starve yourselves, till we develop
A tough breed they cannot chew.
Don't you see how we will beat EN-?
When we make that glorious score,
And thereafter live in safety,
When Thanksgivings come no more?
But YOU call me "Foolish Turkey"
All! you call me silly Bird"
But remember, when your heads off,
True, you'll see to be my word.
Eat YOU then go fill your crops up,
Gobble, gobble, while you may:
But u day of reckoning cOmcth
Comes a blue Thanksgivinr day,
Comes a day when you will gurgle
Gasping for your latest breath,

vince the public that the administra-

making life unpleasant for him. The
admiral is out with an unqualified de-
pial that he was an aspirant for the

self and the president, so pleasant in
fact that he hopes and expects to see
the president renominated and re-
elected. The yellOws must hunt up

the present season of navigation 1876 vessels
have been engaged in carrying lumber out
of Lake Superior and the total measure OF
their cargoes, by the time they are tied up
by winter will probably exceed 1000 0O0,
600 feet. Pine trees for boards and scant-
ling, cedar trees for railway ties and trees
for wood pulp are being laid low through
out this region as fast as saws and axes
can bring them down.

APPLICANTS FOR STA TEHOoD.

1t is needless to say that congress
will give no heed to the appeal of the
governor of Alaska for giving statehood
to that territory. None of the condi-
tions essential to statehood are there
and it will probably be good many
years before they are, if indeed Alaska
will ever have the population and de-
velopment necessary to statehood.
When it is remembered how long some
of the territories have been preparing
to become states, the chances Of
Alaska getting statehood seem very
remote. New Mexico has been ter
rltory since 1850 and Arizona since
1863, and while both have been seek
ing statehood for years they have been
denied it on the ground that they are
not fitted to become states. 1t will
very likely be ii generation at least
before the conditions in Alaska will
warrant making that territory a state.
New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma
will undoubtedly again make an ear
nest effort to secure statehood from
the coming congress and it is probable
that they will be successful. New
Mexico has sufficient population and
could doubtless meet all the require
ments which statehood would impose,
but Arizona and Oklahoma are not in
so favorable n condition. However,
there can be no very serious objection
to making all these territories states If
a majority of their inhabitants desire
it. But statehood for Alaska is a mat
ter of the far future.

CHANGES IN THE EXPORT TRADE.

CHANGES IN THE EAPORI TRADE.
The statistics of exports for the ten
months ending with October show
that in breadstuffs, cattle and hogs,
cotton, provisions and petroleum there
was a decrease of about 6 per cent as
compared with the corresponding
period of last year, but in the grand
total of all exports there was gain
of about 4 per cent. This gain came
manufactures, that branch of our
foreign commerce continuing to grow
Notwithstanding advancing prices
which it was reasonably TO have been
expected would put check upon 1t.
There is nothing more remarkable in
our recent commercial experience than
the expansion of the export trade in
manufactures and the progress made
in this respect there is good reason to
believe will be maintained. The mar
kets gained during the last two years
for manufactured goods will undoubt-
edly he retained and further eXpan-
sion of this branch of our foreign com
merce may be regarded as assured.
The experience we have had is fatal
to the theory that protective tariff is
barrier TO the exports of manufac-
lures, Since the present tariff law
went into effect the exports of this
class of merchandise have been nearly
double what they We're in the same
time under the preceding tariff, the
trainers of which declared that it was
designed to promote the export OF
manufactures and thus advance the
interests of American labor. Instead,
however, of doing that, its effect was
to close many mills and factories and
greatly reduce the demand for labor.
Yet there are some who seriously urge
that we should return TO the demo.

If all the projected lines of railroad
in Wyoming materialize, the state will
not lack for the means for develop
ment of its vast resources. a great
part Of the state has been compelled
to depend upon its livestock industry
simply because it's mineral deposits
could not be worked to a profit at long
distances from transportation lines.
The construction of lines tapping the
great iron, coal and copper fields of the
interior will be followed by the utliza-
ton of these vast latent resources
