The balance of trade in favor of the
United States during the present ad-
ministration has reached the incredi.
BILE sum of 81, Asa, OOO, 900, an amount
that passes the power of comprehen.
sion. The balance of trade in favor of
the United States, during all the adj
ministrations that preceded that of Nc
Kinley, from Washington to Cleve-
land, was 1888, 100000. To put the
matter in another way, the three years
of the Mckinley administration have
seen a trade balance of 81, 100, OOO, 900
greater than was accumulated during
the century preceding his Inaugural

has made good his promises, and has

LEsLIE's WEEKLY of June 8, In its
page of "Gossip from Washington"
has picture of Congressman Cush-
man, of this state, whom it calls "the
humorist" and compliments in a some
what left-handed way as follows:
"One of Congressman Cushman's
colleagues is authority for the state
ment that this jack-of-all-trades as
sumes to know everything there is to
know, and it is impossible to surprise
him with a bit of information or a
scrap of news. If he should be told in
the midst of speech that the capitol

lantly and say yes, he knew; he had
expected fire about then. "He makes
me think" says his accuser, "of an old
lady in our town, who, for want of a
better name, 1 will call Aunt Eliza.
Now Aunt Eliza has had few oppor-
tunities in her life and is extremely
ignorant, but she has always kept up a
pretense of superior wisdom, and no
one ever betrayed her into all express
sion of establishment. She invariably
knows what you tell her better than
you. know it yourself. Once upon time
Aunt Eliza appeared late at the church
festival.
"'Oh, Aunt Elizav called out one of
the girls, we're going to have char

Yes, yes, child responded Aunt
Eliza, Il smelled 'em as / come in.'"
