Little GraYcS.

The following beautiful words clip
ped from an exchange may bring u
mite of consolation to some heart
bereft OF its treasure:
Sacred places for pure thoughts
and meditations are the little graves
in the churchyard They are the de-
positories of the mothers sweetes t.
joys-half unfolded buds of limo.
cence, humanity nipped by the first
frost of time, ere yet single canker
worm ofpollution had nestled among
it's embryo petale. Calious, indeed,
must be the heart of him who can
stand by little graveside and not
have the holiest emotions of his soul
awakened to thoughts OF that purity
and Joy which belongs to God and
Heaven. for the mute preacher at
his feet tells him OF life begun and
life ended without a stain; an isure-
ly If this he vcuchsafed to mortality,
how much purer and boiler must be
the spiritual land enlightened by the
son of infinite goodness, whence
emanated the soul OF that brief SO
journer among US! How sweet the
heart OF the parent with mournful
JOY while standing by the earth-bel
of lost little ones Mournful, be-
cause sweet treasure is taken
away; joyful because that precious
jewel gltters in diadem OF the Re
deemer.

judge Moore, II populist circuit
Judge Of the Black Hills who recent
ly prayed that the god OF war would
smile upon AguinaIdo, has obtained
some more not oriety by deciding
that salocn men did not have to pay
|srate license, us there was no law to
that effect. Some Black Hills saloon
men have held out on this opinion
but lleast of the Missouri river have
poid the license. We believe Judge
Moore's idea is based upon the
states failure to complete the dis
pensary law, which he thinks, leaves
the state without any liquor law.

Our democratic friends are never
satisfied with prosperity. The Nc
Kinley protective tariff was doing
business in 1892, and everybody re-
members the general prosperity then
abroad in this land. But the dems.
fooled the people and elected Cleve-
land. And of course eyerybody-ex-
cept democrats, s,--remember the dis
uster which followed the Wilson tariff
law. Again the republicans got con-
troll in 1896, rescued the sinking
ship, passed the Dingley protective
tariff, and the country is now setting
a pace for prosperity never before
known. But our old friends are
agin it. They are swearing by all
that's good and bad that republican
protection is the mother OF trusts
that is in this country. In free ira de
England. where trusts are thicker
than sun flowers on a back lot, there
was no "mother." They just grow
ed Sin stumps OF old trees"

and that thecounty's IS citizen officials
have managed affairs with skill and
honesty. Sixteen brief years ago
Hand county began business with
no resources. Today she has Court
house, jail, a fine block of ground,
safes, vaults, records, and all the
paraphanalia OF county govern
ment, worth many thousands ofdol-
lars, and 1t is all paid tor. Her
warrants are and have been for
some time considered gilt-edge in
yestments, running few months at
Z per cent. They have been eagerly
picked up for the past few years al
ways at par and some times bring
ing u premium. And not by outside
capitalists, either, but by our own
people who had surplus cash to in
vest.
What a change this all indicates
And how short the time seems since
our county warrants went begging
at 65 cents on the dollar, and our
citizens were borrowing money them
selves at two per cent a month, and
even greater!
Today the permanent school fund
money can be had at 6 per cent an
nual interest. There is q lmost no
call for it.
Today a local banker takes Miller
school bonds at 6 per cent annual
interest.
Today the county treasurer pays
cash for county warrants.
Today local bankers will pay no
interest for time deposits, because
they cannot loan the money. Have
no use for it, and cannot afford to
pay interest upon it to lay in their
vaults.
These are conditions of today, not
theories, and are certainly tangible
evidence of a remarkable develop
ment in a very few years-a less time
doubtless than has marked an equal
development OF almost any agricul-
tural community west OF the Ale
gheny mountains.
These things are the sure forerun-
ners of a permanent, stable settle
ment, a splendid development OF re-

able valuesi in properties, enterprises,
industries, similar to the gradual
growth of all these western states.

THE FIRST Duty.

The Gold Democrats OF the East
take the proper view of the question
of politics when they have determined
to come back into the Democratic
party and support its candidates in
the next national campaign. There are
greater dangers menacing the nation
to-day and far more imminent than
free silver. even if the dangers Of free
silver are all that they consider them.
The great powers which the trusts
have and will acquire under Republic
can policies and laws are far more
dangerous in their effects than may be
expected from the free coinage OF sill
yer, in the light of past experiences.
Men Of discreet minds and sound un-
derstanding cannot haggle over theo-
retical differences on finance when the
peace OF the country and the happl-
ness of the citizens is threatened with

OTR EXpoRTs AND IMPORTS.

In the matter Of manufactures the
exports Of the United States now ex-
ceed the imports, the record for the fs-
cal year just ended making the best
EXPORT record in the history OF the
country. This is an encouraging sign.
It indicates that our manufacturers
are making articles which the world at
large need and appreciate.
Government figures show that for
the second time in the history OF our
foreign commerce they exceeded the
value of the imports of manufactures.
In the fiscal year 1898, for the first
time in the history Of the manufactur-
ing export trade, the expectation OF
manufactures exceeded the importation
of manufactures. the total value Of ex-
ports OF manufactures being about 2S
per cent. in excess Of that Of imports
of manufactures. In the fiscal year
1899, however, despite the increase IN
imports of manufactures, the total ex-
portation Of manufactures was 30 pei
cent. greater than the importation
of manufactures. being s3Ss,s67,794
against s259.57o,29S Of imports o.
manufactures.
Prior to the fiscal year Of 1898 i'm
ports of manufactures were Away
greater than exports of manufactures
From 1883 to 1897 imports OF manu-
factures ranged about sl,oOoooo a day
with the single exception Of 1894. Dur
ing all that time the expectation o
manufactures was steadily increasing
so that in 1897 they amounted to s277,
600 1000, against slSo,0O0o0O in 1855
having thus more than doubled In tha
period. In 1898 they were s2s0,6s7 S5l
and in the year just ended, as al
ready indicated, SSss. s.e67,7s4. II wa
not until 1898 that through the com
bined reduction OF imports and in
crease Of exports the tide turned in ia
vor of American manufactures, and 4
that year the total exports Of manu-
factures were. for the first time, great
er than the imports Of manufacture
being 1920 .697 ,S54. against s2s0,ss7 81

Manufactures in 1899 formed a largl

true, in some months the exports
