By the ignoring of the request of twenty
seven Of the thirty senators that he re-appoint
Senator Wall as State highway commits
sioner and the selection OF Senator Gates
for the position, Gov. Stckney has placed
the Senate between two fires and in what is
generally known rs "box." II the guber-
material choice had fallen on anyone out
side the Senate the nomination-in view of
that body's backing of Senator Wall
might not be hilariously confirmed, but the
nomination of Senator Gates brings in the
question of senatorial courtesy and the
nomination probably goes. 1t will be
somewhat of a strain, however, in view of
the facts. The Governor is foxy and is like
joey Observation-Disclosures sly" The joke is
on the Senate, for sure.

AMERICAN METHODS.

The President of the Grand Trunk
Railway of Canada, Sir Charles Rivers
Wilson, is looking for general mana
ger for his road, and is reported as
saying: 'eThe position of general mana
ger of our system will go to an expert
~enced American railway man. We haYe
the greatest admiration for the Ameri-
Can railways and for their methods of
management.
The. methods referred to by Sir
Charles Rivers consist mainly in en-
ploying men who are best fitted for the
work. Pull and patronage cut no fig
ure when it comes to securing places
on welI-managed American railways.
This is the reason the Canadians come
to them when they want general
manager for their greatest trunk line.
The American railway man holds his
Job because he knows his business.
Would that as much could be said of
our political men, that they hold their
Jobs because they know their business.
They do know one business, but too
often 1t is the business of politics and
not the business the public pays them
to do.

NO WONDER THEY ARE JEALOUS

The marvellous expansion of Ameri-
can commerce is very naturally excit-
ing the envy of other nations, and es-
pecialIy of Great Britain and the Ger
man Empire. The French are also
noting the fact with more or less per-
turbation, but the French are not man
ufacturers like the Brltons and Ger
mans, and they can look upon the
phenomena with less fear and trem-
bling.
1t seems to be at last dawning upon
the minds of trade competitors that
the time is fast approaching when they
will have to prevent by Legislation, if
possible, the inroads which the pro-
ducts of American manufacturers are
making into their own dominions and
even into the countries not under their
flags which have heretofore yielded
them much of their commerce.
Despite their efforts, however, moth
ing seems to be able tn withstand the
genius, energy and skill of the Amer
leans. The jealousy of the foreigners
only nerves them to redoubled efforts
to control the markets of the world.
The October bulletin of the United
States Bureau of Statistics tells the
story of what the Americans are dong
in the expor tation of the products of
the field and farm so plainly that the
figures are well worthy of reproduction
in this connection.
The exports of breadstuffs for Octo-
Der were S21, 913. 1872; of cattle and
hogs, 81, 1872, 351; of provisions 3d.
934, 800; and of mineral oils, SO. 1919, O79.
The cotton expectations, in which the
South is more greatly interested than
in any other one product, totalled !, >
211, 235 bales in October, for which $50,
391, 1O7 was paid. In order that one
may see what a difference the cotton
makes to the South, 1t is necessary to
refer to the export statistics for Octo
Der for the years 1897, 1898, 1899 and
1900. In October, 1897, 1,028, 500 bales
of cotton, weighing 500, 81, 629 pounds.
were sold abroad for $50, 291, 200. II
the following year the exportationt
were /, 1876, 7O9 bales weighing $50, 873,
G9G. Last year only 790,855 bales
, weighing 4O7, 228, 905 pounds, were ex
at cost to the buyers of $28, 348, Ais
, This year, as shown above, the cotton
exported is only about IS, 900 bales more
than IN 1898, but it has brought the
planters nearly twice as much money.
So, while the foreigners may rage be
cause of the growth of American com
merce and industry, the people at home
can laugh at them and keep on reach
ing out for new markets.
