The Financial Review, one of the
leading investment journals of the
country, says: The response of Com
missioner Of Labor II. u. Thomas of
North Dakota. to the inquiry from the
New York Times. shows that the gen
tlemen named is highly confident, and
his words touch upon the increase in
bank deposits. the increasing oppOr-
tunities for labor and the small amount
of unemployed labor, the coal and the
wheat and the flax outlook. He fur
thcr demonstrates that his confidence
is Of an intelligent order, for he brings
to his aid facts which are incontestable
and can point only in the direction he
indicates. 1t would be hard indeed to
name all official in his state better
qualified to speak ON this subject; be-
sides being where he can learn much
of value through actual experience, he
is unusually observant by nature. For
a number of reasons, his recent force
full words will be looked upon in this
city as coming from a high authority.

1t is given out that the American
mules who enlist for service in South
Africa must be v%accinated. This is
bad news. as it means a large mortality
among the government veterinary sur
geons. We knew of nothing likely to
be more Immediately fatal to the vac
cinator than the attempted vaccination
of the American mule.

At the annual meeting of the ma

lowing from the address Of President

Of the stockmen's holdings:

on the market. Today they bring
from $50 to $50, while your high-class
saddle and coach horses are selling at
their highest figure, even to $ 1000
apiece. Less than ten years age your
cattle down here in Texas We're sold at

While our sheep. which wandered aim

that the live stock industry of the

Sometimes we wonder whether
there was Il TOWNSHIP in North Dakota

gambled away in a poker game or
some other game Of chance. We re-

ering of the present townsite Of May

were made in the earth and tent stakes

The supreme court of the United
Stats has passed on the South Dakota
rate case, which was similar in many
particulars to the North Dakota case.
The lower court held the law consti-
tutional but found there was no evil
II us to whether the rates sought
to be fixed by the board of railroad
commissioners were fair and reason
able. The supreme court directs the
appointment OF a master to determine
from testimony whether the rates are
reasonable or not. In the North Da-
kota case much testimony was taken
covering this point, but Judge .Amidon.
after considering the testimony. de-
cided they were not. AS the South
Dakota cas- will go again to the SILL
preme court on the question of what
are reasonable rates, the ultimate de-
cision of the case will apply2in some
measure to the North Dakota case, by
Il comparison Of the relative rates
fixed by the railroad commissions of
the two states. 1t would appear from
the decision that boards Of railroad
commissioners, properly authorized by
law, may fix rates. the sticking point
in the law being as to what are reason
able rates.

the past | V years. Five years ago
we imported about double the value of
manufactures that we exported. We
bought twice as much us we sold. That
was the democratic period of tariff re-
form and tariff for revenue only. Now
look at a protective period. For the
fiscal year 1899 we exported nearly
SSO,OOO,OOO more manufactured articles
than we imported. That is. we sold
SSO.C0O.OOO more than we bought. This
Is another item that contributes to our
present prosperity. Here is a good
comparison between democratic poll
cies and republican policies. During
the democratic period we bought twice
as much as we sold Of manufactured
products. During the republican
period we sold $SO,OOO,O0O more than
we bought. Examine this question of
imports and exports a little further:
1888 was the first year that we cx-
ported more manufactured articles
than we bought. The excess being
about % per cent. In 1899 this was
increased to about 80 per cent. For
many years we imported OH an aver
age of about 81, 200, 1000 in manufac-
tured goods per day and exported
about half that amount. In other
words our purchases of manufactured
goods from foreign countries exceeded
our daily sales about 100000 per day.
Henry Clews financial review, speak,
ing of the trade situation. says: The
Granger roads continue to show large
earnings; likewise the trunk lines and
several roads running to the Atlantic
ports. The Pacific roads are also
making good returns. Some of the
Southern properties have not vet re-
ceived the attention they deserve.
The South, it should be remembered, is
just now experiencing an exceptional
period of prosperity. The cotton crop
has afforded a reasonable profit to
growers, for the reasons that prices
have ruled higher than last year, the
cost Of raising is less than formerly,
and the utilization Of the seed for oil
and cake has added materially to
Southern resources. The most strik-
ing feature of the South, however, is
its marvellous industrial growth; not
only in iron. but especially in cotton
manufacturing. During 1899 plans
were made for investing not less than
S330,OOO,OO in cotton manufacturing;
and already it is stated on good author
ity that the Southern states contain
100000 spindles against 13,OOO,O 900 in
the New England states. AS vet
there is no fear Of overproduction, for
the South expects to largely produce
the cheaper class of fabrics suitable
for export. China will prove a large
buyer of these products, and no section
of the United States has a more vital
interest in the open door policy than
the South.

OF opinion have personally inspected

Prof. Schurman. after months of in

rhe suprome Court Judgeship.

The candidacy Of Hon. George Pof-
fenbarger, of Mason county, for judge
of the supreme court OF appeals OF this
state. is attracting much attention and
meeting with pronounced favor. Where
ever he is personally known the lawyers
and business men have perfect conf
dence in his fitness for the place, and
attorneys who have inquired into his
professional experience. capacity and
standing are well satisfied with the re-
suit.
His own county is giving him the
strongest possible support. The dele
gates have been selected with special
reference to his candidacy, and the
county convention, held on the 9Th
inst, unanimously adopted the follow
ing resolution:
I'VE have absolute and implicit con-
fdence In Hon. George PonenbHrger,
our candidate for the Office Of Judge Of
the supreme court Of appeals OF this
state. His personal character is above
reproach or suspicion: his ability as a
lawyer is Of the highest order; his ex-
perlence in the work OF his profession
is varied and mature; he possesses
dIscrimInatlve and ripe judicial mind.
and has the courage to do what he be-
lIeves to be right under all circum-
stances, and in all the relations Of life.
without respect to persons. He Is not
the representative OF, nor peculiarly al
lied with any particular class, or inter-
est but stands upright and impartial,
and holds the respect and confidence Of
all,
He richly deserves recognition at the
hands OF the Republican party Of this
state. For many years. he has made
great sacrifices. and worked necessarily
for Republican supremacy, not waiting
to be persuaded or in any way Induced
to do It. nor for Instructions as to what
TO do: but being always ready and on
the alert, and among the first ut all
times In the thickest and heaviest OF
the fight, and dealing the heaviest
blows to his opponents, and yet retain
ing their respect and personal frlend-
ship.
'Flrm In our belief that he should
have the honors to which he now as
pires, we Instruct the delegates from
this county to the Republican state
convention. to be held at Charleston,
July II. 1900. to cast the vote Of this
county for him. for the nomination for

them to do so, and exert In his behalf
In said convention all the power and

and In all honorable ways Further
more, we earnestly request all Mason

or not to do all they cum TO secure his

Just at this particular time.
The next mothers meeting will be
held on Wednesday afternoon of this
week, at O'Clock. at Richie annex
building. A full attendance is desired
and is expected, as this is the last meet
ing of the year at the annex building.
The meeting at the main building will
be held Thursday afternoon, May "a.
These meetings have already been pro-
ductive Of much good. and they will be
q much greater power for good as their
object becomes better known and all
the mothers attend them, The writer
has been asked time and again why
these meetings are held, have the re-
suits been as great for good as he OK
pected, viii they be continued, etc. To
all who have asked the questions the
one answer has been given. They have
been Of great benefit. Teachers and
mothers have been thus brought to-
gether, who would perhaps never have
become acquainted, at least, as they
do at these meetings. The relations be-
tween teacher and parents are discuss
ed, the teacher and the mother consult
concerning the good Of the child, The
teacher finds out what the parent
thinks OF the child. and through this
she may know the influence Of home on
the pupil, and thus in many ways the
burden of discipline is lIghtened and
the task OF instructlng is In many
cases made comparatively easy. Our
schools are the peoples schools; they
belong to the parents and the more the
parents know about them, the better
for all concerned.
Principals a. B. cummlns and D. c.

respectively, Parkersburg, were visiting
