DR.. n. NJ. Volding, of Des Moines and
others, who have been endeavoring to
manipulate many of the counties OF
the state for Cummins, many times to
the detriment of local candidates, have
been imported into this county, and
the past few days have ridden around
the county, telling our good people to
vote for man from Des Moines for
Governor, at times a republican and
again democrat, according to his best
chance of being elected to office. We
believe our people are capable to judge
for themselves how they should vote,
and we believe that they will not turn
down our friend and neighbor, Senator
Trewin of Lansing, alwaysa republican,
honest, Jealous and conscientious in his
work for The party. We doubt If ever a
man had n cleaner or more brilliant
record in state politics than Senator
Trewin. His bitterest opponents do not
charge him with a single misdeed, they
cannot speak of him in any other than
the highest terms. Isn't it better for us
to give our support to man whom we
know, who is our near neighbor, oul
friend, than party bolter, state rail-
road attorney?

of the United States has won a noble
victory over the Felicity outfit, and has
succeeded in getting both sides to the
controversy to agree to submit their
differences to the Venezuelan courts.
When the governmnt first realized the
danger in the situation, ard the grave
menace of actual war, the clerks in the
foreign Office as they like to call the
department, were set to work busting
off old files and looking up presidents,
in the effort to find way out of the
embarrassing situation. The clerks
themselves rather wanted Uncle Sam
TO Put up gun play, just to see the
sons of Venezwee dance. But they
found out. much to their surprise that
there was nan with a pull some
where in the background, and the gun
play was held up. Uncle Sam has done
a sharp thing. The case will stay in
the courts of Venezuela until the nine
ty-nine year franchise of the company
expires, and len the Old Man will have
a good laugh.

THE UNITED STATES IN
THE WORLDS MARKETS.

The consular bureau has just pub
lished general survey of foreign
trade which makes not only good
but also a mighty good campaign docu-
ment for the republican party. The re-
port points out that during the last
calendar year American goods took
stronger hold than ever on foreign
markets, and tine constantly increasing
volume and the irresistible force with
which our products have overcome all
obstacles have been startling 10 tie
other nations of the world, while they
have only tempted our own people to
greater efforts along the same lines.
There are reasons for the belief that
There are reasons for the belief, says
the report, that the next few years will
see the United States the outfiitter for
all the world, in manufactured goods of
every description, particularly machin-
cry and great works requiring immense
resources and extraordinary executive
doubt, however, that the other nations
of the world will awake to the situation
soon, and then there will begin strug-
gle for industrial supremacy the like
of which the world has never seen.
England, Germany and the United
States will fight each other in the
worlds markets until all men shall ac-
claim the victor.
A comparison of the figures of our
foreign trade today with those of 9TH
er years is most gratifying. And,
curiously enough, our present suprem-
acy in the worlds markets in certain
lines, and our whole vast expansion
of foreign trade have come by means
that can almost be termed chance.
The United States has made no de-
termined, concerted effort to obtain the
upper hand in the worlds markets.
On the contrary, as the best informed
writer's have shown, the United States
abs been absorbed so closely in per-
fecting processes for home manufac-
ture, in order to shut foreigners out
of our own markets, that they had al
most lost sight of the fact that they
had been progressing in industrial or
ganiZation and manufacturing process
es at a rate far in advance of their Eu
ropear competitors.
Both excellence and cheapness have
come from this marvellous internal de-

The first man that brings Mesa wa
ter into the city of Ell Paso for do
nestle use will make magnificent for
tune. 1t is rumored that the present
water company is preparing to take
this step. If the rumor is well found
ed, and if the extension would be
made real benefit to the city. by Civ
ing us good water for domestic use, and
permitting the lowering of rates on wa
ter for irrigation and street sprinkling
purposes. the company can count on
the support of the people of the city.
The suggestion is made that the pres
ent water company put in system
OF mesa wells, and retain the valley
wells also. Both sources of supply
would be connected with the present
system of mains. Then it could be ar
ranged so that river bottom water
could be run through the pipes at GER
tain hours say from p. m. to a. m;
while the soft mesa water could be
supplied during the other hours. In
this way the mesa supply, which may
not be so abundant, could be conserved
for domestic use, and ordinances could
be enacted prohibiting the use of water
for any other than domestic use. or
other necessary use. during the morn
ing hours. The water company is en-
tirely welcome to this scheme for max
ing millions. and it is cheerfully pass
ed up to them.
