the resistance which they make to our
efforts to establish sovereignty over
them tally with that view? Can
people show higher devotion to q cause

taken when he said such death was the
last full measure of devotionyh What
has happened to us as Americans that
we no longer feel throb of sympathy
for n race showing this devotion, but
shoot them down like cattle? What
matters it how they got the idea that
we were to help them to fight for their
independence? II they are fighting for
it, what kind of an American is he who
cannot sympathize with themY Finally,
has the American character so changed
that to call attention to the fact that a

like cattle by American soldiers has
become treason in the United Statesf

Harrisburg, Pa, June 29.-Joseph
Hollinger, a self-confessed murderer,
was hanged this morning in the yard
of the Dauphin county Jail, in the
presence of a large assemblage. Hol-
linger went to the gallows without ap-
parent fear, and died without strug.
gle. After he was pronounced dead,
his remains were turned over to his
relatives and taken to Hockerville for
burial.
Hollinger was an ignorant farmer.
about Sc Years old, and was separated
from his wife for several months. Last
August, he visited her at the residence
of a neighbor, in the southern end Of
the county, and tried to persuade her
to return home. She refused, and this
so angered him that he knocked her
down, ard then cut her throat with a
pocketknife. He took fright at his
crime, and an hour later surrendered
to justice of the peace at Hummels
town. He was brought TO Harrisburg,
and at his trial he admitted his crime,
and put in plea of insanity. He was
promptly convicted, and the Supreme
Court and the Board of Pardons re-
fused to override the jury's verdict.
Albert Smith, colored. will be hanged
in the jail yard week from next Tues
day, for poisoning his wife. Smith was
very much affected by the scenes
about the Jail today, and it is feared
he will break down before his execu-
ton,

Statistics of recent months have
shown steady decline of the excess of
exports over imports, though the ex-
cess is still such as to exceed tho
amount due to Europe as interest on
bonds and for the carriage of our
freights. In March last the excess Of
exports was s31, $40, 26l, against s5l,.
05S, 31S In March, 1893. In April last
the excess was 1923, 1852, 755, against
sa3, 1868. 400 in April. 1898. May re-
asserts the tendency exhibited in March
and April. In that month the excess
of exports ever imports WAS 1928, 704, SOL,
against S57, 69S, 784 in May, 1898. From
these figures it is inferred that the
normal balance between the United
States and the rest of the world Is
being approached. That is to say, the
balance in favor of the United States
in tho year ending June Both will BIO
about $500, 900, 900, from which is to be
deducted Sl70, 600, 000-tbe aggregate of
freight payments 10 foreign carriers,
interest due abroad, tourists expenses,
&c. leaving an apparent credit balance
of about $3.50, 600, 900 in our favor.
IL the coming year there will be no
export balance, says the New York
journal of Commerce, If the present
downward tendency of exports ccn-
tinues at the rate shown in the last two
months, but tho continuance of this
tendency Is not. assured. There are
elements in the situation. the journal
thinks, that indicate a stronger fnan-
cial and commercial position than was
formerly enjoyed by the United States.
While there has been decreased ex-
port of breadstuffs. provisions. cotton,
oil'and other crude products recently,
thete has been considerable increase,
of exports of manufactures. and this
increase seems to be progressive.
