THE SPELLBINDERS.

| think we campaigners generally at
tribute an exodus from the hall while
we are talking either to the hot night,
or to the trains which are just about to
leave, or else to conspiracy set on
foot by the opposite party. But some
times we cannot fiatter ourselves with
these illusions. | remember making an
address in my own State, illustrated
as | thought-by few opposite quota
lions. The audience listened attentive
ly for more than two hours. [ made
substantially the same speech few
days later in little country town in
Maine, but | noticed that my hearers
were restless and that number of
them left the hall. Next morning,
while sitting on the porch of the village
inn, | overheard two countrymen who
met in the dusty square in front:
'Was you to the meetin' last night,
neighbOr Jenkins?" asked one of the
other.

The point of astory is often the sig
nal for an outburst, and no one can
deny the power of opposite illustration.
The parallels of the Bible and the
stories of Lincoln have in them a pith
and point which could not be as we'll
made in any other way. Yet many
speakers are tempted, not to make the
story the illustration of the speech, but
to make the speech mere potpourri of
stories. The man who does this may be
amusing, but in the long run he will
not be taken seriously; and if he be I'M
familiar with his audience he is likely
to tread on somebody's toes without in
tending it.
In the campaign when James d. Will
iams and Benjamin Harrison We're
opposing candidates for the govnorship
OF Indiana, we Republicans used to
make great fun of "Blue Jeans" as we
called him, ridiculing his rustic man
ners and his homespun ways We didn't
make much by it, for the people of In
diana were mostly farmers; and after
he had been elected and had made an
honest, respectable, and sensible COVER
nor, our campaign jokes looked rather
pltlIul IN retrospect. One night l spoke
at a small neighborhood meeting, and
repeated to my audience the following
story which was going the rounds:
Mr.. Williams, who was then men,
Der of Congress, was one day washing
his hands at one of the lavatofies in the
Capitol, when an attendant handed him
three towels. He sighed at such wan
ton extravaganza and exclaimed: "Why,
down at my farm | make single towel
last the whole family week"
This was pretty poor story, but fol
all that, l was aStoniShed to see that
there was not a smile upon any of the
faces before me; indeed, the countenan
ces took on even deeper gloom. Or
my way home, as we drove through.t the
| woods, my companion said to me:

the same thing himself. Hon. William

The Death Penalty.


The States in which the death penalty
is forbidden by law are Colorado. Rhode
Island, Maine, Michigan and Wisconsin,
to which also may be added Kansas,
for the murderer is never executed. In
Iowa capital punishment was abolished

States except the foregoing six the
death penalty is inflicted for murder;
and, in addition, in Louisiana for rape,
assault with intent to kill, arson, ad-
ministering poison and burglary; in Del
aware and North Carolina for rape, az
son and burglary; in Alabama for rape,
arson, robbery, treason, immoral rela.
lions with a female under 10 years, or
married women by falsely impersonat-
ing her husband in Georgia, for rape,
mayhem and arson; in Virginia, South
Carolina and Mississippi for rape and
arson; in Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Texas and Arkansas for rape; in Mon
tana for arson of dwelling by night; in
Maryland for any variety of arson; in
Texas for perjury to material fact in

Our Commerce.
The Century's Growth is without Parable
in the Worlds History.

The Century's Growth is without Parallel
in the Worlds History.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Frank II.
Hitchcock, chief Of the section of for
eign markets of the agricultural depart
ment, has just issued his animal review
of the trade of the United States in
agricultural products. His report says:
The fiscal year 1900 brought to a close
a century of marvellous development in
the history of United States commerce.
In 1900, a century ago, the total value
of the merchandise imported and ex-
ported, in our trade with foreign coun-
tries, was considerably less than $780,
changed during the past fiscal year
ing all previous records. Since the
opening of the century our commerce
with the rest of the world has Eincreas-
ed more than 12-fold.
1t was chiefly in the export trade
shat the enormous growth of the cen
fury occurred. Our domestic exports
during 1900, with recorded value of ST.
80, 1853, 81, were over 40 times as large
as in 1900. The total imports for 1900,
on the other hand, amounting in value
to $S49, 941, 1874, we're less than 10 times
as large as in 1900.
Compared with the value of our i'm
ports for 1900, that of our domestic ex-
ports showed an excess Of $500, 1922, 1877.
Of the merchandise imported from for
eign countries in the fiscal year of 1900,
about 40 per cent. consisted of agricul-
tural products.
Products of United States agricul-
ture were marketed abroad in the fiscal
year 1900 to the value of $S44, 676, $50,
forming about 81 per cent. of the total
domestic exports. The exports of cot
ton, although smaller in quantity than
during the preceding year, exhibited
an advance of nearly $33, OOO,O in
value. Aside from the cotton, the
largest gains in value were those afford
ed by the export Of meat and products
and livestock.
A comparison of our agricultural ex-
ports for 1900 with that of our agricul
tural imports shows that the former
exceeded the latter by $424, 4sO, 149.
The export value was slightly more
than double the amount of the import
value.
