The political situation still exerts some 20
straining influence. despite the deep-rooted con-
viction in financial circles that President Roosa-
welt is to he reelected Nevertheless the
meeting of the Democratic convention is an i'm
portant event. and its platform and candidate
awaited with interest in Wall Street As
heretofore pointed out in this column the situa-
ton is peculiarly devoid Of the scare element.
for TO secure even remote chance Of success
the Democratic party must return to the paths
OF conservatism. Any other action would re-
duce its campaign TO circus performance. The
absolute affirmation Of the gold standard by the
Democracy, which seems probable would be
gratifying but superfuous. The gold standard
has come to stay.
Incidentally may be noted the enormous in
crease of SS6.OO0.OO0 IN gold coin and gold GER
tt1oates held by the national banks over the
corresponding period of year ago. while the
gain IN silver for the same period amounts ~
but S14O00ON0 Gold in circulate year ago
was S1,oO5. 2S6. 49S-on June l. 1904 il stood AZ
81 .O95.52S. 4T1, increase in one year OF more
than S90OoO. O00-eloquent testimony 10 the fact
that there is no scarcity OF gold During the
same year the increase in National Rank circu-
lation was below S3I.OOOOOO. "A small addition
in comparison to the gain In gold
gratifying feature of export trade is the
growth Of exports Of manufactures For the
eleven months ending May 81 manufactures OF
exports exceeded the record year of 1900 by
SIt!WOOn The gain over last year was ST.
OOoOa This is superb evidence of the capacity
Of American manufacturers not only to hold tbs
markets gained. but to extend them-and the
increase would have been materially greater
but for the war in the East which temporariIv
cuts off Japanese trade. Combined exports OF
all kinds for the eleven months quoted show
the enormous surplus over imports Of $4,000
Wp-a sum which i'm shape or another
stands TO the credit of the United States abroad.
There is no food for pessimism in these asian
ishing figures
Railroad earnings show 4 decided upward
tendency. in many cases even comparing favor
ably with 19O3-the record year A notable
feature. too. is the retention Of larger portion
Of the gross in the net than has been usual

McGraw's New York baseball team. in
 cluding some of the stars of the busi-
 Eess, reached Montgomery yesterday
 morning They will be here three day.
 Back in 1893 John McCloskey had charge
 of the destiny of the Montgomery team
 the only time in the South was an ur- wieidy twelve-club affair composed or New Orleans, Shreveport, Mobile, Mont- ccmery, Birmingham, Nashville, Mem- ptis, Macon, Atlanta, Augusta. Savannah and Charleston. McCloskey's team that year was a pretty fast bunch: Smith, iehtfield: Danny Minnehan. third base; Big BiIl'' Hasssmaer:. short: Billy George, left fiei1: Jack McCann, center- field; McCloskey. first base; Mike Shea, second base; Red" Armstrong. catcher; Frank Wilson, George Blackburn, Pep pers and Rogers doing the slab stunts.
 On the 20th day of April-a few days less than eleven years ago-Nashvile opened It's series with the locals. There was a good crowd present and they were pretty curious, for the local battery had was umpiring. and just as he was about to yell out ''Play ball.. slim. athletic locking, cleanly built young fellow walked out and took his position in the pitch CTS box. Who is he?' men whispered to each other Whats that Mac" yell ed somebody on the bleachers. The young fellow was total stranger. Nobody knew him then. But the Southern League was soon to know and dread him. and afterwards the American and National leagues as well.
 His name was Joe McGinnity. a young ster whom McCloskey had picked up out n the Indian Territory. He had stepped ,n a southbound train that morning. having had four days of hard travelling

 Effect of Spring Training.
 Spring training is tough upon the juniors, and those who get through in safety are always SO good that even If they fall down during April and May they are in demand for the higher class minor leagues. thus gaining material promotion over the previous season, says an ex- change. boy from a bush league where he got $S0 d month may not prove good enough to stick in the topmost com pany and clean up $350 per. but he may catch on in strong minor league ranks and draw S200 This Is good money and ought to satisfy the kid. If he Is rightly ambitious and has the proper goods. he will tear things up in the 800 league. and do so well that he will be recalled to the DIE camp next season and make himself fixture. If he is weak-hearted the sorrow he will feel over the turndown in the big club will knock him out com pletely; the boy will be failure at $200 and the end of the season will find him back in the same old penny-ante com pany, working for the same old $50 and destined never to be heard of again.
 The kidlets fall rapidly these days. Much of their success depends on circum- stances in the teams which have drafted them. Perhaps a club will have no old players for a certain position. Tn this case the boy will be made to feel at home, will be given all sorts of coaching and encouragement and will be q poor stick indeed if he does not make good If the team has an old. but wobbly play CT, popular with his fellows. whom the would displace. the path of the boys is going to be tough road Should the manager look out for him and give

 Queer situations come to pass now and then in baseball which puzzle play CTS, umpire and spectators alike for the moment and one of the queerest hap pened in the Eastern League in Il game between Providence and Brockton. Tom my Ramon, one of those base runners inclined to do the unexpected on the bases. was at the hat for Broekton and Patsy Flaherty of the same team was on second base Bannon cut loose with all his might at a straight ball. and the next instnat the leather was shricElng III center fielder was seen to put up his straight at him.
 The sun was iu the center felder's eyes and he slightly misiudged tho ball, which sailed just over his head. But as he had his hands all set for the whizzinS pellet some thought nc had caught the ball. Blnnon saw that the ball had not been caught and, with head down. tore around the bases. kicking up clouds or dust on the route. He was reposing on third base by the time the bal was tie!ded in.
 The captain of the Providence team as soon as things had queted down little. ran Up to Umpire Hunt meantime getting the ball and tagging Bannon, ana made the claim that Ramon was out
 No, that don't go exclaimed the um- pIre "Brannon touched all the bases all right"

what is Flaherty. doing on second pase
 The ,impirc looked and sure enough there was Flaherty still on second base and the man who had batted after him a base ahead of him-au absurd situation. Flaherty had thought the ball was caught ana had stuck to his base, ana Bannon, without noticing him in the excitement, had run past him. There was nothing Tor the umpire to do but call Bannon out. The next time Ramon came to bat there was nobody on base, and blea- cherfte sang out in ear-spIttlng tones the following timely advice:

THE PHILIPPINES PROSPER
SENIOR UNISON, "a FILIPINO OFF,
CIAL, TELLS MINNEAPoL1TANs
OF CONDITIONS IN THE ISLANDS

Col. G. w. johnson presided at the
Commercial club dinner Saturday
night for Senior Gervasio UNISON, sec
rotary Of Tabayas, a PHILIPPINE prov
ince, and Alfredo Cascro, president Of
Apinonan, it's largest city, guests in
the twin cities of Lieut.. Col. Cornelius
Gardener Of Fort Smelling. Colonel
Gardener interpreted the speech Of
Senior UNISON, who spoke in Spanish.
The speech showed that the Fill
ipinos had an intimate knowledge of
the history of this country. The
speaker is seeking to impress on con-
gress the advisability of a Philippine
national representative body. It.would
do more than anything else he said to
teach the Filipinos how to govern
themselves.
Senior UNISON told what is being done
by the people Of the Philippines to fit
| themselves for self-government. In
his own province, Tayabas, he said,
there were 900 children in the schools.
where only English is taught. He said
that within ten years English would
be spoken by 25 per cent of the Fill
| ipino children
"In political matters you have done
WE'LL" he went on. You liberated us
from the tyranny Of Spain; you have
given us a government practically au-
| tonomous, and have sent us teachers;
but one thing is wanting: In econom-
ical matters you have done nothing to
improve conditions
He outlined briefly the devastation
following the war, the subsequent cat
tie pest, which destroyed 80 per cent
Of the cattle in the islands, the droutE
of the next year, the plague Of grass,
hoppers the year after, and then the
cholera. The United States gave VI
s3,000,O0o, but what is that among
1000, 900 people?"
In closing Senior UNISON made an elo
quent plea for a closer commercia
union with the United States, and tbs
financial assistance necessary to de
velop the great resources of the is
lands. ,S

WORK IN The
NEW S. A. HOME
LABOR AGENCY PROVIDES
PLACES FOR MANY.
Plans Made to Extend This Depart
ment - The Industrial Home En-
larged - Men Who Are NIinistered
To Are Always Well Behaved.

con the whole, we are very much
encouraged and feel that We can
make good use of this building, tho of
course there are departments we have
still to develop" said Brigadier w.
F. Jenkins of the Salvation Army at
this morning.
In some ways the growth of GER
tain departments has been a surprise
to the officers while in other respects
they have not realized their expecta-
lions. Certainly the results since the
building was opened on May l give
evidence Of it's good use. In the In
dustrial home itself, the greatest sue
cess has been made, and it has ex-
tended it's boundaries until now the
home occupies all of the top floor,
practically all Of the basement and
portions of the ground floor. From
seventeen to twenty-five men are con-
from their board and room they get
81 or 50 for their work each week.
An increase in the work done by
the labor agency itself is expected in
the fall and Brigadier, Jenkins, who
has just returned from New York
the work of this department., has
many plans in regard to it which viii
| be developed. Most of the work &C.
complshed has been to supply mer
and women with day labor and the
number helped has reached the hun
dreds. Little has been done, how
ever, in securing permanent positions
for the applicants. To make the
branch of more Importance as a labor
agency, the officers of the army have
decided to advertise the agency jus
as any agency is advertised. The in
terstate action will give additional i'm
portance.
Where a demand for labor exists i
is the purpose of the Salvation Arm.
to supply it. In New York there wa
a surplus of labor which the orchard
Of Michigan demanded and according
ly thru the Salvation Army, the frul
growers who advanced the necessar,
car fare, were supplied. Owing t.
the moral character Of the organiza
ton back of the movement, there ar
few men who jump their jobs. Plan
have been made with the larger cite
to supply similarly Minnesota an
the vicinity with labor. $751;.
The patronage of the two readin
rooms and the. branch public librar
which was established in the home,
most unexpected. Over 100 me
daily are furnished with reading mat
ter here and the circulation of book
, increases encouragingly. The be
: havior of the men has never cause
the authorities any trouble. All hav

been no misuse of privileges. Tn
presence of the public, librarian ha
relieved the Salvation Army of all re
sponsibility except as to Sunday al
tendant.
Only a passive effort is being e2
erted for the club organization or
increase the use Of the gymnasium
and game rooms as at this season Ii
tie need is felt for them, but the off
GERS are ready to accommodate in tn
fall all who care to use them. !
