JOHN NAGLE DEAD.

THERE is hardly an editor in the
state but felt that he lost friend
when he learned that John Maggie
was dead. Those who knew Mr..
Maggie respected and admired him,
and with most of US we feel that his
death is personal loss. John
Maggie was one of Gods noblemen,
conscientious in his duty, fearless in
ATTACKING what he deemed to be
wrong, and always an able cham
pion of what he believed to be
right. AS a writer he was regarded
as one of the strongest in the state.
His opinions carried weight, and the
Pilot under his management was a
remarkable example of the strength
which the editors personality gives
to the force of newspaper.
AS president of the State Press
Associa ton he was one of the
strongest We ever had. His coun-
sells and his advice gave strength
and standing to the organization.
He was the friend of every editor,
and no person ever ques toned his
integrity. The veterans of the
organization valued ard respected
his opinions, while to the younger
members he was their particular
friend and champion. No editor in
Wisconsin ever had a greater num-
Der of closer friends in the profess
sion; none was better known; none
more loved and respected. A noble
man has been called from earth, and
who is there that knew him but will
shed a silent tear in memoriam of
noble, honest, loyal, true John
Nagle!

GENTLE, SWEET SPRING.

" The winter SHOWS have been melt
ing rapidly, and the bright spring
sun has been bringing great quanti-
ties of drainage down from the
''kopjes". The natural result of
this has been wet crossings, muddy
streets, and a generally uncongenial
condition OF things underfoot, all
tending to demonstrate the popular
lily accepted theory that the sun
actually touched the eastern edge OF
the ''sign of Aires" a week ago, and
that the season of spring poets and
lum ber-jac on a lark has arrived.
Our business people extend cord
ial welcome to the latter, while the
axe has been sharpened and laid con-
venientIy near by, and the shot gun
hung within easy reach of the editor,
who awaits with blood in his eye,
and murder in his heart for the ap-
pearance of the former.
BROTHER Barager, of the Medford
Republican was very nice to The
TINES editor in his last issue-pub-
fishing newspaper Likeness and

of the Northern Wisconsin Press
Association. And in this connec,
ton we wish to add that the MANY
kind words from the newspaper
people of northern Wisconsin max
ing kind personal references to the
editor Of The TINES are gratefully
appreciated, and we only hope that
we will prove worthy of the con
fidence and trust that has been
delegated to our keeping. But the
editors of northern Wisconsin are no
stronger for us than The ITEMS and
it's editor is for them.
THERE has been some talk over in
the Ninth District of Ben w. Davis,
of Phillips, for one OF the delegates
to the National Convention. Mr..
Davis is one of the active republi-
cans Of the northern part of the
state and the Ninth District will
make no mistake in selecting him as
one Of its representatives. They
might look all through the district
and fail to find better qualified or
more deserving man for the place.

The United States is rapidly be-
coming "creditor nation" With
the prosperity brought about
through d system of protective
tariff and a declaration for sound
money, has come an enormous re-
duction in our indebtedness abroad.
and now our business men are ac-
tually loaning money to other parts
of the world A $25,000,000 loan
has just been made by New York
capitalists to Russia. One especial
ly interesting feature of this is the
fact that much of the money IS to be
expended in the United States for
the purchase of coal, agricultural
machinery, railway cars and rails,
and other products Of labor which
are to be sent to Russia, $4,000, 0OO
being placed in ST. Louis for the
the purchase of cars, another million
dollars in Chicago for agricultural
implements, and still more in Pen
nsylvania. for railroad engines and
materials. thus benefting labor il
the United States as well as capital.
In addition TO this actual loan, it is
asserted that United States finan-
ciers have offered to take the entire
loan which the British government
recently put on the market.

Commerce with Cuba, Porto Rico, and
the Hawaiian Philippine and Samoan ISL
and during the eleven months ending with
November fully justiies the belief that the
new relations which those islands sustain
to the United States will result in a great
increase in our commerce with them, and
especially in an increase of our exports to
them.
The total exports from the United States
to the four islands or groups of islands will
amount in the calendar year 1899 to con-
siderably more than 100000 600, the total
for the eleven months ending with Novem-
Der being $37, ,S54 10, as compared with less
than $50 OOO. .0o0 last year.
When it is considered that neither Cuba
nor Porto Rico has yet returned TO any
thing like normal conditions and that
there there has been a condition of actual
warfare in the Philippines during the year,
the fact that the total exports to the ISL
ands in the year exceed those Of the palm
fest days of reciprocity shows that when
normal conditions return our exports to the
islands will greatly increase over those Of
earlier years.
Our total exports TO Cuba, Porto Rico,
Hawaii. and the Philippine Islands in the
years of their greatest prosperity under
the reciprocity relations of 1898 and 1894
amounted TO but about $4,000 600. while,

NEW YORK. Jan. 5.-Tbe stock market
this morning opened materially higher
than the closing prices of yesterday, but
the subsequent dealings were marked by
a very uncertain and irregular tone. The
initial advances were almost wholly in re-
sponse to the decided improvement in all
stocks that was shown in the London quo
tations. The market at the latter point was
favorably influenced by rumors. which
were, however, without any official sub
sanitation, to the effect that the British
had scored a decisive victory in Natal.
There was little or nothing in the tinan-
cial situation over night which attracted
much attention or created discussion.
The engagement of s.. 000, 600 gold for ex-
port tomorrow was announced early, but
the matter was without any effect upon the
market. and virtually no attention appeared
to be given to the opening of the debate Oh
the Senate Finance Bill yesterday.
Conspicuously strong features OF the
early dealings were Sugar Refining, New
York Central, Louisville and Nashville.
c., c., c., and St. Louis, and Brooklyn
Rapid Transit. These stocks advanced
sharply in the opening dealings, although
later on they all scored more or less pro-
nounced reactions.
The dealings in the Granger shares and
the other issues were in fair condition, but
the price changes in that quarter of the
market were limited.
