The Financial Outlook.

The Financial Outlook.
Looking over some back numbers of the
Kansas City Journal, we happened to find the
following article, written by P. I. Bonebrake,
leading Republican banker of Topeka. It is
mighty good reading, coming from Repub-
lican source, and we reproduce 1t:
"The United States is now enjoying period
of prosperity unparalleled in its history, and
more in extent than any other of the great ma
tions of the world. The question arises in the
minds of the people whether the prosperity will
last. review of some of the causes of this
prosperity may help to determine, to some ex-
tent, an answer to that question.
"Among some of the more important causes
of our prosperity as the following:
"First, the national banks have taken out
additional bank currency between March 81,
1900, and March I, 1901, to the amount of
$1o6,966,ooo.
"Second, the national expenditures on ac-
count Of the war in Cuba, the Philippines and
China for the last three years exceeds $780,
100000.
"Third, the expenditures of England and
the Beers, disbursed in the United States for
food, horses, mules and wal materials will GER
tainly exceed $50, 900.
Fourth, our exports in 1866, in excess of
imports, were $4,000, 900; i'll 1867, $780,
10000; in 1878, nearly 5000, 200, 900, and
in 1859, $6I5, ,ooo, 900, an increase unparal-
leled in the history of the nation.
"Now let us aggregate the items in the above
list, that may be considered above normal con-
ditions.
"First, there will be no increase of national
high-priced to admit of profit in circulation.
"Second, the national expenditures on ac-
count of our war in the Orient will be reduced
certainly 5000, ,ooo,o 900 in the next two years,
as the army is being rapidly reduced and ex-
traordinary expenditures reduced.
"Third, the close of the war in Africa, which
seems near, will cut off the expenditures of the
the contesting nations, in this country. Eng
land has already ordered purchases of meats,
mules and horses, ETC., stopped, and an esti-
mated expenditure of $50, 200, 900 will be cut
off.
by governments all of whom are alarmed at the
extraordinary exports of agricultural and in
dustral productions, by the United States, these
exports will be reduced for the coming year to
at least $500, 900, 900, which IS 5000, 900 900
above our exports in IS96-S. Already, this
decrease is showing up, as March, 1901, shows
a decrease of $4,000, 900 as compared with
March, 1900.
"This will aggregate reduction of expend-
iture and reduction of income of $475, 900, 900.
''rhe British loan of $3.50, 900, 900 has been
offered on the market, and the banks, trust and
insurance companies are investing largely in
that loan. Russia and Germany are also offer
ing their national loans in New York It is
safe to say that $50, 900, 900 of American money
will 60 into these loans.

past three months, corporations whose capital

MENDHAM N. j., Oct. is, 1901.
EEIToR CHRONICLE;
While l am not pilgrim nor a
stranger in this beautiful village, still |
feel lost if occasion oompels me to go
about the place at night excepting when
the moon is full or nearly so.
Some years ago there existed here a
Village Improvement Society, which
certainly had large field to cover
Among other improvements it inaugu-
rated were the trimming of trees along
the sidewalks, keeping the walks in
order placing lamps so that it would be
possible to get about after dark without
danger of accident. There were other
matters which the worthy society set
out to do, and at first they succeeded,
and the improvements were appreciated
by everybody. Now, Mr.. Editor, want
to ask through your columns, if there is
not more urgent need of improvement
today than several years ago, and fur
ther, if the former organization was
brought to life again, or new one
started | am sure it would be heartily
supported. Let us have Village Inn
provement Society, and the sooner one
is started the better for the entire vii
lage.
Yours truly,

Sympathy for Mrs. Jemison.

As announced in Sundays Age-Herald, the usual convention of the Alabama Wo- mans Press Association, which was to have been held in Tuscaloosa the coming week, has been postponed, owing to the recent bereavement of Mrs. w c. Jemi- son, the first vice-president of the asso- citation, and to whom the sympathies of the press women of the State are finding even stronger expression than by their desire to postpone the date for holding the convention. The decision is, howev- CT, a public evidence of the universal af- lection on the part of the Alabama Press women for one of their brightest and strongest representatives, and emphasizes the deep sympathy they feel for her in her great sorrow
 Mrs. Jemison was making every effort to make the forthcoming meeting of the press women notable success, and the members of the association were antici- pating with more than ordinary pleasure their visit to Tuscaloosa.
 The Birmingham press women, when they learned of Mrs Jemison's bereave- ment, communicated with the president of the association, and gladly offered to make arrangements for holding the con- vention in this city, that Mrs. Jemison might be immediately relieved of the du- ties that she would have felt incumbent upon her to discharge. This suggestion was made, too, in the event that arrange ments for holding the convention the com ing week had gone too far to make a postponement impracticable. That the president and the press women of the State would be assured that Birmingham stood ready at all times to assume the role of hostess also prompted the sugges- ton. aR
 In the event that change of place for holding the convention is decided upon Birmingham would cordially welcome the press women, and the local newspaper women would exert every effort to carry into execution the plans outlined by the programme committee, of which Mrs. Jemison is chairman.
