Although the recent increase in
the exports of iron and steel manu-
factures from the United States
has been simply phenomenal, there
is at present no sign of abatement
in the rate of increase. The rate
of advancement is particularly
gratifying when it is known that
the exports cover great diversity
of products, thus proving not only
that our manufacturers are rapidly
increasing their output, but that
they are each year fabricating a
large proportion of the product,
and thereby securing for themsel-
yes and for the labor employed the
greater share of the profits arising
from such manufacture. Another
gratifying feature is the fact that
the area of distribution steadily
and rapidly enlarges. Exports
which formerly went only to the
principal countries of Europe are
now shipped to China, Japan, Aus
tralasia, Africa and the islands of
the South Sea, where such articles
as sewing machines and typewriters

You who live tranquil lives, free
from fear and strife, can scarcely
realize the unhappy condition of
Nicholas H., the present czar of
Russia, who, with his millions of
soldiers, millions of acres and mill
ions of gold, is unable to find a
single moment of peace and lives
in a continual fear of his life.
Frequently those who have pre-
tended to be his warmest friends
and counselors have proved them
selves traitors and conspirators.
Threatened with war, with revolt
cf his countrymen, and with his
own assassination, it is no wonder
that he is "trihe nervous" "Un-
easy lies the head that wears a
crown" could find no better ex-
emplification than in the case of
this great king. Now, really,
wouldn't you rather be just as you
are than to be ruler of all the
Russias? You can be contented
and happy; he cannot.

BITTER PILL FOR THE CITIZEN.

Ross the owner of the PILOT ~, pictuses our
feelings over the election to so, we do not
offer a comment. However, we recommend the
cowardly assaier and-slurer of womanhood to
bo careful of the fowl for it will be just as
applicable next fall, after he is elected county
clerk. .CD-Crested Butte Weekly Citizen.
1t is evident from the frenzied
tone of the foregoing that the re-
suit of the recent local election was
gall and wormwood to the sweet (?)
thing who weekly exposes her ig-
norance in our poem-flled contem-
porary. Such spasmodlc effusions
betoken a very acute case of politi-
cal belly ache, and moreover, dem
onstrate a sour nature due to re-
peated rebuttal received in pro-
longed attempts to walk in mans S
sphere under the protection of
womanhood.
Should the editor of this paper
be rendered the nomination for
county clerk this fall, the celebrat-
ed specimen of antique maidenhood
who edits the Citizen, and the
sponsors for that farcical produc-
ton, will be obliged to get a better
move on themselves to defeat him
than they did in their sneaking at
tempt to beat him in the race for
town clerk last spring. Rest as
sured, old gal, that if he is defeat
ed, he will accept the result cheer
fully. Unlike you, he will not be-
come petulant nor make of himself
an object for unrestrained ridicule
and contempt from sensible people.
Ia Ia honey. You will find a
smile on our religious countenance
when your sour visage will turn a
lemon green with envy.

A young man born in this coun-

A great many shallow pated
theories affect to believe that the
way to make people good and to
keep them good is by fencing them
in with prohibitory statutes. When
anything goes wrong these worthless
shout: "Let US amend the consti-
tuition p If statutory regulation
were effective the ten Command
ments would pretty well cover the
ground. They have an authority
that cannot be given to merely
human regulation; but though
backed up by statutory pains and
penalties they are still violated. 1t
is personal amendment, not statu-
tory amendment, that keeps life
sweet and wholesome. The world

NO EFFECT ON GENERAL STRIKE.
Mr.. O'COnnelPs Views on Machinists'
Defeat at Newport News.

President OConnell of the International
Association Of Machinists said today that
the defeat Of the strikers at the Newport
News shipyards would have no effect on the
general strike of the machinists. I'VE
never have had any hope that the Newport
News men would win," he said. They did
not go out until two weeks after they were
ordered out. and they have been constantly
voting on the question of returning to
work. We were not ready to expend our
funds on men not ready to carry on the
fight. There were only 300 machinists out.
against 5000 other employees remaining at
work. Their return to work may have an
effect on some of the small shipyards in
this section of the country. On the Pacific
coast however, between 5000 and 1000 men
are out, practically all in San Francisco.
and these will not be affected. The gen.
eral strike Of the machinists has now SIM
mered down to a question of endurance of
the two sides. We have no revocation OF
the strike order in contemplation. There
are 5000 machinists still out throughout
the country"

application to purchase, at private sale,
from the District Of Columbia, and to re-
ceive deeds therefor, a number Of lots ard
parcels of land described in the schedule
accompanying the proposal. In the letter
to the Commissioners she says:
II will pay therefor all the taxes, assess
ments, charges and costs now due or which
may become due at the time Of such sale
and the making Of such deed. I will COM
ply with such requirements and rules in
connection with such sales as you may
make or establish in connection Herewith.
desire to obtain the deed for each OF said
parcels or lots described in said schedule
at the earliest date possible. and therefore
request you to forthwith publish the neces-
sary notice three times in two daily news
papers published in the District Of Colum-
bia that q deed has been applied for by
me, and unless the owner comes forward
within thirty days from the date Of said
eral and special. then due the deed will be
issued in accordance with the provisions OF
the act referred to in the next paragraph
of this application.
This application Is made pursuant to the
latter part Of section Of an act in relation
to taxes and tax sales in the District OF
Columbia. enacted by the Senate and House
Of Rspresentatives a and aeaa approved by the
President February 70, 1885,.
Mr.. H. H. Darneille, the District assessor
has examined into the matter and submits
the following report to the Commissioners:
"The accompanying request Of p. ]. Wat
son has been received and official action
taken upon the same. The schedule list
contained the name of forty-six persons, Of
which thirty-one came forward and paid
the amount of tax due against their prop
erty, leaving only fifteen pieces unpaid. In
great many instances of those which are
left unpaid payment has not been made by
reason OF the property being involved in
litigation. ETC. 1t Is recommended that fur
ther action as regards the sale and deciding
of this property to the said Watson be de-
ferred until the assembling Of Congress. in
order that some remedial legislation may
be enacted, as the re-enactment of the 6
per cent law. which, in my judgment, would
operate to materially decrease the arrears
OF taxes, and thereby decrease the sale Of
property subject to the provisions OF Sec
ton OF the act Of February d. 1893"
