TOO MUCH SHOOTING.

The accidents caused on the Fourth
by the discharge of fire arms are sufh-
Gent to cause the passing of an or
dinance prohibiting the firing Of re-
volvers and guns with ball or loaded
cartridge on the Fourth.
FDirecrackers are dangerous enough
and directly and indirectly do their
share of damage but a revolver in the
hands of some untamed enthusiast is
the height of danger. The man with the
revolver runs little chance of being
hurt but those forced to be in his neigh
borhood are taking great chances The
papers have been telling for years of
people injured by having revolvers with
alleged blank cartridges discharged
point blank in their faces and still
there are fresh victims every year who
think it sport to fire guns at people.
Then there are others who do not seem
to know that the bullets have to stop
somewhere. They fire them off at the
pavement and the bullets glance and
breakwindows and strike people.

al GREAT sHoWING

Forty million dollars worth of manu-
features were exported from the Unit
ed States in the month Of May, 1900. and
twenty-five million dollars worth of
manufacturers materials were import
ed into the United States. This is
higher record both in expectation of
manufactures and importation of manu-
facturers' materials than was ever
made in any preceding month in the
history of our foreign commerce and
manufactures. This assures a total ex-
portation of manufactures in the fiscal
year 1900 of fully AIS million dollars
and an importation of manufacturers
materials of 300 million dollars which
will make the record in both exports
of manufactures and imports of manu-
facturers' materials much higher than
that of any preceding year.
On only four occasions has the i'm
portation of manufacturers materials
reached the 5000. 900, 600 line, while in the
year just ended it will be, as already
increase of so per cent. over the aver
age of the past five years.
Exports of manufactures in 1899 were
1913 million dollars. and will be fully
s425. 900 600 in 19OO-an increase of nearly
or quite $50, COO, 600; while no earlier year
ever showed an increase of as much as
$50 000, 900.
The total importation of manufac-
lures for the year will aggregate about
$325,000,000 and. as stated above, the
total exports of manufactures will ag-
gregate about $425, OOO, 600 Prior to
1893 imports of manufactures always
exceeded exports of manufactures. In
1888 imports of manufactures were two
and one-half times the amount of ex-
ports of manufactures; in 1898 they
were still more than double the amount
of the exports; in 1896 they were near
ly so per cent. greater than the exports,
and in 1898, for the first time, the ex-
ports of manufactures were greater
than the imports of manufactures, the
figures for that year being, respec-
lively: Imports of manufactures, $685.
o00, 900: exports of manufactures, $780,
100000. Since that time exports of man
ufactures have steadily increased and,
as above indicated win exceed the inn
ports of manufactures by about $780,
o0o, 600

ports Of manufacturers materials and
exports of manufactures in May of
each year from 1894 to 1900:

The American people are gregarious.
Give them the least provocation to flock
and they will do so.
The recent convention in Kansas City
was an excellent example. Thousands
of people went to Kansas City without
any thought of attending the conven-
ton, expecting no entertainment and
their only excuse was that they wanted
to see the crowds. 1t would have been
they wanted to be a part of the great
swarming mass of humanity. Women
with small children will rush into
crowds inperiling the lives of their Off
spring as well as their own and will
rush back into the crush with an evil
dent relish The people enjoy being
jostled. If one is trampled to death oc-
casiona1ly it only adds fuel to the flame
of excitement.
There was little to see in Kansas City
on the Fourth of July The day was hot
and sultry and people walked up and
down the narrow streets, tired and
sweltering imagining that they were en-
joying Themselves. There was little to
see and they did not care for that.
They were a part of the great throng
and were happy.
The American is restless and excit-
able and this may be the reason why he
always persists in rushing into a crowd.
If there is any excitement going he
wants to be there and the fact that he
is uncomfortable as a result is not con-
sidered
