INCREASE IN LOCOMOTIVE Elk
PORTS.

1t is not surprising to note that the
exports of railway locomotives from
the United States both as to number
and value are on the increase In no
country has the progress in operating
railroads been SO rapid as in the Unit
ed States. Speed. durability and trac-
ton power have been combined to
make the American product the most
efficient. Naturally, therefore, railway
managers in all countries desiring to
better their service turn to the Ameri-
can locomotive.
A brief review of American exports
in this line is exceedingly interesting
and instructive.
In the nine months ending March
of the current year the total number
of locomotives sent to foreign countries
was 313, valued at $3,463, 016. This
compares with 230 locomotives export
ed during the nine months ending
March, 1903, the total value of which
was $2,654,1 and with 2S6 exported
for the nine months ending March,
1902, valued at S2,S10,596. The official
figures show an increase of SO in the
number exported in nine months end
ing March of this year, as compared
with the previous nine months, and
with an increase in value of $S08,S6O
During the last nine months the best
customer for American locomotives
has been British North America. 1t
took 1874 locomotives and paid for them
S1,608,204 Mexico was the next best
customer, taking SO, valued at $685.
450 Japan was the third best custom
er during that period, taking % loco
motives at an aggregate value of S246,-
273, while Cuba stands fourth in the
list. with q locomotives. valued at

ADVICE BY PARABLE.

Keokuk Gate City.-The Des Moines
Register and Leader is making des-
perate effort to reconcile itself to the
1904 Iowa republican platform, but
with only Indifferent success as yet.
1t appears to be in need Of the en-
couragement given the Swede by a
fellow countrymen when he found the
vessel on which he desired to take
passage rapidly drawing away from
the wharf. He looked at the inter-
vening and constantly widening space
and shook his head obviously. Just
then his companion shouted to him:
"Yump! Yon, yump! Ay tank 20 can
make it in two yumps!"

REPUBLICAN, PARTY SEMI-cEN-
TENNIAL

me question as TO Just when the
exact date of the semi-centennial of the
republican party will occur is receiv-
ing considerable attention and being
widely discussed among the members
OF the organization. 1t is a matter
of record that the first nominating con-
yention of this party was held in Phil
adelphia on the 18th, 18th and 10th Of
June, 1856, but the date of it's formal
organization is the question in dis
pute Much of the difficulty in decid-
I ing such questions IS these comes
from the fact that great political move
ments are slow, there being no distinct
event to mark the old and the new. In
such cases the transition is low
sometimes covering period OF sever
al years.
One of the most authentic claims in
this regard is made by Charles w.
johnson in his history of the party
comprising the reports Of it's various
conventions In this book much prom
inence is given to the claim of Hon
initiatory proceedings which led direct
lily to the formation of the party were
those of the republican association of
Washington which organized on the
10 of June, 1856, adopted platform on
January II, 1856, and caused the pub
LEGATION of circular ITO the Friends
Of the Republican Movement Through
out The United States" urging the or
ganization of clubs.
At that meeting a call was issued
to citizens of the United States to par
ticipate in national meeting to be
held in Pittsburg February %. At this
gathering an executive committee was
appointed which gave out the call for
the national convention to be held in
Philadelphia in June, 1856, and nomi-
mated John G. Fremont for president.
But there is another claim made as
to the time and place OF the republican
party, and this claim is entitled to
equal consideration. In the year pre-
Iceeding the issuance OF the call of the
republican association of Washington
an appeal for the organization of a
party with resistance to the extension
| of slavery, was sent forth from Michi-
gan. This call was signed by 10000
citizens of that state and it caused the
assembling of a mass meeting at jack
son, Mich, July 6, 1854, almost two
years pllOI W aluG doSSLlDiueo VI LHC
first republican convention at Philadel,
phia.
Those who attended this Michigan
meeting adopted the name republican
and thus party title which had not
been in use since the early days Of the
country came into use and identified
itself with the opposition to the extern
sion of slavery Also in the same year
the free soilers of Wisconsin, Illinois,
Ohio, Vermont and Massachusetts,
adopted the name.
A celebration has been planned to
be held in Jackson, Mich, on July 6,
upon the fiftieth anniversary of that
first meeting. This event will be one
of much national Importance and his
torical interest. Secretary Hay, Speak

HAPPILY MATED.

Boone Republican.--The countess OF
Ravensworth has married her coach
man and English society has sustained
a great shock. 1t Is not at all sur
prislng; in fact, it is but another illus
tration of the universal law that every
thing seeks its own level. The coun-
tess was born into a position that she
probably did not have the brains and
ability to fill and the coachman was
probably of lowly origin, but some
what above the average mental In In
telligence and so the two are happily
mated-let us hope.

st. Louis, July 6.-The opening day
Of the democratic national convention
sees the situation as to the presiden-
tial nomination unchanged. Parker
Is far in the lead and his nomination
seems likely. At the same time,
however, his prospects are no more
favorable at this time than those Of
many defeated candidate for the
nomination have been before him and
it may yet be possible for his enemies
to concentrate against him and defeat
him. The fact that they are as actively
at work today as at any. previous
time, and profess to be hopeful OF
success, makes confident prediction
that Parker Will certainly be nomin-
ated somewhat unsafe. j
The trend Of events is so distinctly
toward Parker, however, as to indi'
cate his early nomination, possibly by
the second ballot. If 1t were a betting
proposition, should say the chances
were at least seven out Of ten in Park
er's favor.
