our Enormous Exports

Exports from the United States in the
fiscal year 1901 now ended will prob
ably reach 81 800 100000, the high
est point ever recorded for single year
in the history of our export trade. For
tbe II months ending with May. 1901, the
total exports were S1,3S5, ,013,595, being
double those of the corresponding period
of 1889, and S100,000.000 in excess Of the
total for the IL months of last year,
which broke all previous records. Taking
the commerce of the II months ending
with MAY of various years as the basis Of
comparison, the figures of the Treasury
Bureau of Statistics show that during the
period under review our exports IN 1889
amounted to $694, 1873, ,S04; in 1894, to
1881, ,636 0S5: in 1899. to 81, l,130,629,OI5
in 1900, to 81 ,2S5. .S3f ,125. and in the pres
ent year as already stated, $1,3S5, ,013,5 $50;
while for the full fiscal year our total ex-
ports give promise of exceeding one and
a half billion dollars, as the IL months

My regiment at this time was stationed
four miles from Gallatin, on the Cum
berland River, guarding a ford and had
just had brush with a part of Morgan's
command, under Basil Duke, his brother
in-law, driving him from the river with
heavy loss.
We were now ordered to leave the ford
and move out on the pike leading from

edge of the port.
At st. Pierre, too, they have made pre-
parations for defence. The authorities
have accumulated a large stock of military
munitions there, and an effort has been
made to enforce conscription among the
adult males and drill them as a town
guard. But as they are nearly all fisher
men, who for seven or eight mo7ths of
the year are away on the Grand Banks,
the scheme is not very successful.

pretty as an artists ideal, stood before a

There are much stronger circum-

police had worked on the case yester-
day they might have unraveled the

viewing the ruins of the burned house
there was no effort made to get at the
bottom of the case.
The fact that Miss Hounsom's skull
was crushed. that the body was lying

in bed is almost conclusive evidence
that she was murdered She did not
use a gasoline stove and had no gaso-
line in the house. Some suggested that
the fire spread rapidly over the build
ing by reason of gasoline being in the
house. The first people who saw the
fire found the entire inside of the house
on fire burning with equal flerceness

was set on fire in several places

BRYAN ISSUES STATEMENT.
After Sending a Message to the

Lincoln, Neb., Sept 7.-Following the
receipt of the news of the attempt on
President McKinley's life, w. J. Bryan
sent a brief ge to the president
expressing his concern Mr.. Bryan gave
out the following statement;
1.-The attempted assassination OF the
president is a shock to the entire coun-
try, and he and his wife are the re-
cipients of universal sympathy. The
disnatches indicate that the shot was
fred by an insane man and it is hoped
that this is true, for while it is a terri
BILE thing for a president to be the VIC
finn of the act of a maniac, it would be
even worse for him to be fired upon by
a sane person prompted by malice or
revenge. In a republic, where the peo-
pie elect their officials and can remove
them there can be no excuse for re
sort to vengeance. If our president
were in constant fear Of plots and con-
spiracies we would soon sink to the
level Of those nations in which force is
the only weapon of the government and
the only weapon of the government S

Beware of Making Promises.

The Jacksonville Metropolis re-
Gently uttered the following senti-
ments in regard to promise max
ing, which cannot be too carefully
weighed by the American people,
for We, as nation, are too quick
to make promises that are many
times difficult to fulfill or unpleas-
ant to carry out:
Beware the man who makes any
promises. Some men just throw
their promises right and left in
discriminately. They are ready
with a promise about anything to
anybody. These men can never
be relied upon to fulfill their words.
They promise anything on the i'm
pulse of the moment, and then,
perhaps, forget it. On reflection
they see that they were wrong and
their minds are changed on the
subject. Or they find that they
have promised something quite
out of their power to fulfill. These
men do not place high value up
on strict integrity. A promise, an
agreement To do certain things,
should be considered invi0late
Careful consideration should be
taken of a subject before a promise
is made. One should think whe-
ther it is really the best and right
thing to do. whether one has the
power and authority to make the
promise and whether one has rea-
son to believe that he can fulfill
the promise. Once a mans word
is given it should be sacredly kept,
even if at personal Inconvenience.
1t is mean thing to try by eva
siOns and specious reasoning to
avoid fulfilling a promise. The
men of such integrity, who can be
relied upon to keep their word to
the letter and the spirit, are the
men most respected in the COM
munity and who are most worthy
of respect"
