TAKES ANOTHER ISLAND.
10 Commands tho Channel Between BOr-
moo and Solo.

Washington, Jan, s,--The United
States navy has taken possession of
another island In the east. Admiral
Watson cables from Cavite: "Wentz-
baugh, commanding the Albany, "a
little gunboat), hoisted the flag on
Sibutu Island, and the chief dato pro-
vided and raised the pole, Natives
and north Borneo authorities pleased" "
The island lies at the southwestern
angle OF the boundary line OF the
quadrangle enclosing the Philippine
groud. 1t is probably, but not posi-
lively, outside Of the line and lies very
near the coast of Borneo, commanding
the principal channel between that
island and the Philippines. The Sal
tan OF Jolo, whose group Is close to the
island, Is believed to claim jurisdiction
over II and as his authority Is recog-
nized by the native tribes on the north
coast Of Dorneo and vicinity, 1t Is be-
lieved that his claim is well.founded.
1t was probably at his instance that
the naval afliccr commanding the gun.

Buyers will cling to that belief until

The spectacular advance in the price,
OF iron and steel products when good

at. There was a lively compe tition for
those products on the part of buyers
who had felt too poor for years TO do
any purchasing. AS the result Of that
|competition the demand far outran the
supply. But that abnormal demand
has been satisfied at the same time that
the productive capacity OF the steel and
iron plants has been increased greatly.
So some furnaces and mills will have to
shut up soonif lower prices do not pros
vide a market for their output. This is
the situation which the iron and steel
men have to deal with.

There is one kind of expansion to

expansion of which we have seen no
mention in any of the eloquent
Speeches Of Mr.. Bryan and 1t is doubt
full If the Worlds influence will suf-
flee to secure for ii an enthusiastic
|srecognition in the Kansas City plat
form. 1t is the expansion of our trade
that inspires the World and simultan-i
eously fails to elicit from the gallant
leader of the democracy Il single joy

comparisons are necessary to a COM
|prehension of the huge figures to
which the trade Of the United States
has been expended in the past nine
months" The World notes that
Our total imports for that period
averaged s7l,00O,OO per month, which
indicates a yearly volume of imports.

in 1891 and 1893. has so large total8of
imports been recorded. 55
III the same nine months we have
exported merchandise at the rate OF
81 Il .000,0 600 per month. or over 81, AGO.
100000 per year. This exceeds all ex-
port records in the history of the
country.
Assuming the conditions of the last
nine months TO continue for the next
three months the fiscal year will show
at its close an excess Of exports over
imports amounting to S550.OO0,00O

Those huge figures considered in

MARSHALL COUNTY DEMOCRATS.

de-bound pcpocratic sort In their

includes 16 to silverism. These disci-
Piles of the minority thus desire to be
classed with Bryan. They also eN-

which they had a perfect right to do.
Then, looking over the wide, wide
world, silancing around the great globe,

demand for nails has fallen Off for the
same reason.
The prices asked for nails and wire.
are not only high, but they are unrea-

In the face of the downward tendency
of pig iron and steel billets. the Steel.

the year put UP smooth wire nearly 9

per cent. Probably it did this in the
belief that the demand for those prod

less, instead of adopting the simple ex.
pedient of reducing prices to get rid OF

To send children happy to bed should
be one Of the mothers most ordinary
tasks. No little one should dread the
bedtime hour, nor fear the dark, nor be
allowed to go to rest under a sense OF
disgrace or alienation from household
love.
Whatever the child's daytime naughti-
ness may have been, at nightfall he
should be forgiven, and go to rest with
the mothers kiss on his lips and her
tender voice in his ears
Hardly anything can be worse for a
young child than to be scolded or pun
ished at bedtime. The mother does we'll
to be little blind at some things, re-
membering that good deal of childish
culpability is superficial only and
washes off almost as easily as does the
dirt which the evening bath removes
from the human skin
The main thing with children is to
have them we'll started with good prin-
ciples, which they will carry through
life. Obedience, truth, unselfishness,
purity, are essentials, and these can all
be lovingly cultivated, and will flourish
