SEEING OURSELVES.

"One of the strangest things In life,'
 said an amateur philosopher of Camp
 street, lis the fact that we never really become acquainted with our physical selves Here I have been living In this body of mine for nearly fifty years, yet I have no idea how I look, how l bear myself, what sort of an impression l make on the minds of others when they meet me in daily intercourse. Seeing ones self Is a great surprise. You think you do that every day in your looking glass, but you don't. What you see there Is a conventional image, a symbol. It stands for you, just as cer- tain arbitrary ink scratches stand for your name, and it is handy in showing you where to part your hair and how to tie your cravat; but 1t doesn't give you any idea of how you would look if you were to meet yourself here on Canal street It Is only by the rarest acci- dent, happening may be twice or thrice in life time that one gets glimpse of one's real self. An unsuspected mirror or chance reflection in a window pane is usually the agency. You see some- body approaching somebody you know perfectly well you have never seen be- fore in life, yet who startes you by a poignant, inexpllcable sense of famil- iarity. In half a heartbeat the trick discovers itself and the illusion vanish es, but you have had glimpse of the real thing, and, oddly enough, the expe- rience is almost always the exact re- verse of the sensation produced by the photograph. Ten to one the stranger seemed quite attractive. The first time I ever saw myself was in large pier glass at the head of a staircase. I was bewldered, but I remember distinctly that the gentleman who advanced on me out of space struck me as being rather distinguished-l6okin person. felt proud of him after I discovered his identity.
 With one exception everybody I have ever spoken to on the subject has admitted to me that he was pleased by the appearance of his double. So there's hard metaphysical nut to crack-why is it that We generally look better than we had supposed ?'-New Orleans Times-Democrat.

STILL EXPANDING.

| Gold has begun to come this way | from Europe, and it is acknowledged that Europe will have to give us what
 gold we want because she owes us so
 much The statement of September's foreign trade will not encourage the gold bugs of Europe or the Bryantes of the United States It shows that the merchandise exports from the United States last month were by far larger than in any corresponding month of our history, and that the months ex- cess of exports over imports was $56,- 900, 900, against an export excess of only $39, 900 ,o0O in September, 1899, and an actual excess of imports as lately as 1895. In the nine completed months of the current year not only have exports in- creased by the enormous sum of $129,- 100000, but the surplus of exports over imports has run o,o00OOO beyond last year.
 At the present rate of progress it will not be long before we can be almost as financially independent of other na- tions as Bryan says we ought to be- This nation is certainly big creditor nation.

4 SHINING STCC ESS.

The Republican meeting at the Grand Opera House last evening was a shin ing success. The Democrats who hoped to find In it support for the extravagant claims they are making didn't find 1t. The big house was filled, the audience was appreciative and enthusiastic, and the speeches were well worth hearing. MT. McLean's reception in New Haven was cheering indication of the size of his vote in this so-caled Democratic stronghold. The campaign has been we'll begun here There will be no apa- thy during the next three weeks, and the Republican workers will do their best to bring out big vote for McKin- ley and Mclean.

ADMIRAL BRADFORD'S COAL


 Admiral Bradford, chief of the bureau of equipment and supplies in the navy department, has a bulletin hanging in his room which shows the exact amount of coal available for the Uni ted States navy in different parts of the earth. Bradford Is a great provlder. Before the Spanish war he bought up every ton of coal ashore or afioat that he could find available for our fleets, and Uncle Sam had coal piles scattered from one end of Christendom to the other. Coal is contraband of war and neutral nations are now allowed to sell 1t to combatants. Having this in mind, Admiral Bradford bought his supplies before hostilities actually com menced, and had enough on hand to last the navy as long as Spain could have kept up the fighting. Believing it to be a good thing to have supply of fuel available in distant ports where coal is difficult to obtain, Admiral Bradforl has kept all his coal-yards and intends to keep them permanently, replenishing the supply from our own mines as rapidly as necessary, and thus emancipating the navy from depend ence upon the coal-dealers of Europe

VIRGINIA,

| In the forecast of the election given out by Henry c. Payne, of the Republi- can national executive committee, | Virginia Is put In the list of Statef con. ceded to Bryan. But Jefferson M Levy, the New York congressman who owns the Jefferson estate at Charlottes- vile, Virginia, brings from that State the astonishing report that it is as doubtful as Maryland, and that he would not be surprised to see Mckinley carry the State, although the Republi- cans have no organization and are making no contest except in the Con- gross districts. He says: The Demo- cratic leaders do not seem to realize the situation, although have warned them what they may expect if they do not change matters. The Democrats throughout the State are apathetic. Again, there are a great many promi- nent Democrats who have told me they intend to support President Mckinley. There Is also much dissatisfaction over the constitutional convention. The most marvellous change has come over affairs in Virginia in the last ten or twelve years. The Democratic major ity has been growing smaller each year, without much opposition Four years ago the majority for Bryan was about 17,O00 I expect that to be cut down this time.
 It is almost too much to expect that Virginia will go Republican this year. but If the Democrats don't show more sense and skill than they have Virginia wont be able to stand Democracy much longer.

In Great Britain only a few years ago American petroleum had almost a monopoly. From January 1 to August l, 1900 the imports were 2020000 gall Ions of American and 2840,000 gallons of Russian petroleum. The reason for this is said to be the fact that large Russian oil fields have been acquired by Englishmen.

The Commonwealth of Australasia is to be proclaimed on January next af- ter which date the world will be con- fronted with a new power in the South Pacific having population of about 3,75O,OOO New Zealand, with a popula- tion of 756,000, has not joined the feder- ation, but is likely to do so later. Aus tralia has thus followed the example of the Canadian colonies and will be imi- tated doubtless after a few years by the colonies of South Africa. Within two years the new Commonwealth will have it's own tariff on imports, and it is expected to be mildly protective. The slow growth of population is an obsta- cle. The present annual increase is but 50,00O. But the industrial and con- mercial development is immense.
