DURING THE last fourteen years the balance
\ 0fS-zis IN fuvUr Of tire farru products of the
United States was 81 S06 100000. In other pro-
ducts during the same period the balance of
trade against this country was 1896, 000, 600.
These figures are from the Secretary of Agri-
culture, who adds that lit is the farmers who
have paid the foreign bondholders.' The net
balance of trade in our favor, amounting to
SO, 941 ,000, 900, is great monument to the in
telligent skill and enterprise of American
tillers of the soil.
AT meeting of the Old Town Merchants
and Manufacturers Association of Baltimore
on Monday night the City School Board was
roasted for several alleged shortcomings. Mr..
John w. Marshall took strong ground against
the teaching of vertical handwriting in the
schools and advocated individuality in hand
writing. He said a member of the Board had
told him that teaching vertical writing is
breeding a race of forgers.' 1t does seem
absurd to teach every body to write alike, or to
observe the same general style in their writing.
THE PEOPLE of the country will be panied to
learn that the Standard Oil Company, al
though advancing the price of oil nearly every
month, is too poor this year to buy Christmas
turkeys for its employees. A dispatch from
Cincinnati says: 'sThe directors this year took
up the question of turkey distribution, and
such philanthropic souls as John D. Rookie
Teller decided that as the price of turkeys will
be much higher this season than ever before
just like oil and profits on 1.-THE company
could hardly furnish the employees with their
annual luxuryn

THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE met
in Washington on Saturday last, with Hon.
M. A, Hanna in the chair. The principal
matter TO dispose of was the fixing of the place
and date for the coming National Convention.
Only three cities presened claims-Chicago,
Pittsburg and St. Louis. Pittsburg offered to
raise $1,000 to defray the expenses of the
convention; Chicago $4,000, and St. Louis
$4,000. Upon a vote being taken Chicago re-
ceiyed 43. Pittsburg z and st. Louis 1. The
work of the committee was harmonious
throughout and it required but a short time to
complete it. A resolution was adopted pre-
scribing that the convention should be called
in the exact language of the call of 1900, giving
to the states four delegates-at-large and two
delegates for each Congressional district, and
TO the territories six delegates each. Delegates
must be selected prior to May 2lst.
THE ROAD committee of the Taxpayers Con-
yention held another meeting at Towson on
Wednesday, with Major Yellott presiding.
The principal subject discussed was whether it
would be advisable to recommend to the con-
yention at its meeting in January change in
the present law to create highway commits
sion that would have full charge of all road
matters taking them entirely out of the hands
of the County Commissioners. Some of the
members of the committee thought it would
be the right thing to make such recommen-
dation to the convention, while others thought
such plan, although approving of it, would
be rather too sweeping at this time. The CON-
mittee is endeavoring to do the best it can for
the peoples interest and the members would
like to have some expression from the tax
payers of the county upon this most important
question. Those who wish to do so should
address letters to the committee before its
next meeting December 3Oth, giving their
views in the premises. The committee is COM
posed of Major John l. Yellott, chairman, and
Messrs. Samuel NJ. Shoemaker, John s. Ensor,
Alexander Mccormick and Milton Dance.

CHRISTMAS.

Though Christmas comes each year, it means
too much ever to be stale, says Golfers Weekly.
In religion, it celebrates the best part of the
Christian faith, a new joy that came into the
world. As holiday, it is the season OF ex-
pansion, generosity leading others lives.
Cold reason would say that the best time for
making gifts was when necessity called oppor
tunity invited, or impulse urged, but Christ
mas throws reason to the winds and opens the
arms of faith and profusion once each year.
The shops are loaded with grotesque and useless
toys,-useless, save to give little human beings
joy. Many poor soul pinches for the sake Of
donating some guerdon of its love, and is, per-
haps, the better for the sacrifice. "Wear this
for EMO words mean more, and of all
gifts,.a the American genius said, the best is
a portion of myself. Therefore, the poet
brings his poem the shepherd his lamb ;
the farmer, corn the miner, gem the sailor,
coral and shells; the painter, his picture; the
girl, handkerchief of her own painting"
Alas for us, who can give only what we buy (;
and yet even that carries our emotion, for it is
chosen lovingly. Certainly the principle of
the widows mite holds true in Christmas CIV
ing as in charity, for all depends upon what it
means to the giver. Who has not been moved
by receiving the tribute of a child,-a bit Of
paper tooth, or curl,-comic or pathetic,-in
way that be could be touched by no carelessly
choosing Crosus So no wagonload of city
roses can carry the perfume of the heart as it
is borne by the blossoms which the giver's
hand has culled or his slender purse has
shrunk to buy. Christmas, the season Of CIV
ing and rejoicing, helps us all to part of the
spirit after which the day is named the child
with his joy, the rest OF us with charity and
the love of man. How few are hundred
Christmases in one life

It Wasn't the Queen.

A good many pages in the House and
Senate are industrious collectors of
autographs. Congressman Shattuc, of
Cincinnati always has some harmless,
practical joke in mind, so the other day
when he met one of these autograph
fiends he said: II just passed LiIiuo-
kalani. the former queen of Hawaii, on
her way to the Senate. You ought to
get her name in your book" a mo-
ment later. album in hand. the
lad was dashing through the corridor
trying to locate the dusky queen. In
the woman's reception room of the
Senate he approached partly colored
woman, decked out in flaming attire,
a big red hat, and a plentiful supply
of jewelry. would you please give me
your autograph asked the page.
What do you mean, chile?'' inquired
the supposed queen Indignantly. "Ain't
you Queen Liliuokaiani?" mo, indeed.

THE LANGUAGE QUESTION.

The Hawaiians who are striving to
perpetuate and emphasize the use of
their language in the Legislature have.
perhaps, overlooked the lesson Of New
Mexico,s failure to get Statehood. One
of the counts in the ,Beveridge report
against the admission of New Mexico,
one in the gravity of which the Senate
concurred, was that Spanish was the
language of the Legislature, of many
OF the courts. and Of political addresses
in campaigns. The Beveridge commit
tee pointed out that no Territory can
be Americanized so long as its official
and political business is carried on,
even partially. in an alien tongue. and
that the want of Americanism con-
stitutes an insuperabIe barrier to the
advancement of a Territory to the rank
enjoyed by States.
Having anticipated its rebuff, New
Mexico decided. in the last political
campaign, to choose only English
speaking officials, and now even the
Legislature can answer, with one voice,
to the national language test. Only by
following this course. and living up to
IL. can the Territory hope to emerge
from it's outgrown swaddling clothes.
1t would amaze the people there to
learn that Hawaiians, who also cherish
Statehood aspirations. are taking the
fatal course OF insisting upon the use
OF their aboriginal tongue in the con-
duct OF public business. No one knows
better than they how useless 1t is to ask
for Statehood in any other language
than that which Americans speak
