sal-president MeKinleys Words of
Advice Recalled.

The government report of the com
merce of the United States for the fis
cal year ending June so. 1908, plainly
indicated that the calendar year 1903
would be a record.breaker with re-
spect to exports and imports. The to.

export figures are 81 ,4S4 ,66S 1877; i'm.
ports. 1896, 473, 101; excess of exports
over imports. $4S0.095, 900. In thirty
years, from 1873 to 1908, exports in
creased 1877 per cent, while imports
increased 81 per cent. The figures
tell their own story fully justify the
foreign tributes to our commercial
progress, and explain the movements
on foot in Europe to organize trade
alliances to meet American competi.
ton"
A Middle European Commercial AL
lance, particularly directed against
the United States, has been pet
project with Count Goluchowski, the
Austro- Hungarian Minister for For
eign Affairs. That somewhat irascible
official proclaimed six years ago that
Europe should counteract American
commercial energy. European nations,
he urged, must stand together against
'transoceanic" countries. An Italian
admiral and former foreign minister
took up the refrain, and even the Sc.
date London Spectator observed that
America was cherishing illusions" as
TO its security from huge coalitions
of this kind. The London journal said
that Europe had become FESTIVE for
the reason that We are beyond foreign
commercial competition are disposed
to monopolize trade, take swift re-
priSals' when European countries for
tify their industries with tariffs, are
rock in Europe's way in China, while
holding fast to the Philippines. Fear.
hatred and dread were rapidly becom-
ing, according to the Spectator, the
dominant continental emotions toward
America.
The difficulties confronting this eco
nomic alliance have been insuperable
hitherto, but step has now been
taken in that direction by the organi-
cation of the Middle European Eco
HOlHlC society. one or It's founders
says that the greatest task before the
organization will be the creation of
Count Goluchowski's commercial
union. 1t is hoped to bring the Triple
Alliance, France, Switzerland, the
Netherlands and Scandinavia within
the operations of the society.
The French Customs Commission
has recently reported that it is neces-
sary TO obtain a reduction of the
American tariff by a reciprocity con-
vention in the interest of French in
dustries, and it is probable that
other European countries will en-
deavor to secure similar treaties with
the United States-all of which gives
emphasis to President McKinley's dec
laration:
Commercial wars are Improbable.
A policy of good will and friendly
trade relations will prevent reprisals.
Reciprocity treaties are in harmony
with the spirit of the times; measures
of retaliation are not"

the States Exhibit.
The Nebraska commission ito the
Louisiana Purchase exposition held its
final session in Omaha. Much bust
ness was transacted, mostly of a de
tail nature and preparatory for the
removal to St. Louis, where they viii.
be maintained until after the eXposi
ton. Secretary Shedd has departed
for st. Louis. The three car loads
of exhibition material collected at the
commissions store house in Omaha
from every quarter of the state will be
shipped al once to ST. Louis.
Aside from the agricultural exhibits
notable character Most of these
have already been assembled at Lin.
coin, under care of the superintendent
of the educational exhibit for the
state, and these will be shipped to
st. Louis as soon as practicable. Ev-
cry city in the state is represented in
these school exhibition and some OF
the finest and most artistic of them
come from the district schools
throughout the state. and the city
schools will certainly have to look
to their laurels. The school exhibits
are by far the best ever undertaken
by the state schools and Nebraska
need have no cause to fear but that
it will occupy its usual front rank at
the exposition in this respect.
The horticultural exhibits promise
to surpass anything ever undertaken
by Nebraska in previous eXpositions.
Over 100 barrels of Nebraska fruit are
now in the cold storage plant at the
exposition grounds, st. Louis, and all
are in the best condition.

German Out of the Race.

The election CT Isidor Rayner to the
United States senate from Maryland
probably will put an immediate end to
the talk Of the nomination of Senator
German for the presidency. Mr.. Ray
ner is strong anti-machine man and
won his fight against the determined
opposition of the political organiza-
ton of which Senator German is the
head.
At Senator Germans request, for
mer Governor Smith called an extra
ordinary session of the legislature
two years ago for the enactment of a
negro Acknowledgement law. 1t was
understood at.the time that, in return
for this action, Governor Smith was to
be sent to the senate.
When the time for the balloting
came, however, Senator German dis
regarded his alleged promise and
threw his strength to Bernard Carter
the leading railroad corporation law
yer of Maryland. Some of the former
governors friends stood by him, but
neither Mr.. Smith nor Mr.. Carter
could muster at any stage of the pro-
ceedings as many votes as Mr.. Ray
ner, the out-and-out Independent, who
will be Senator Germans colleague
The long and bitter fight and his
final defeat have greatly weakened
Mr.. Germans influence in his own
state, and the number of Democratic
presidential possibilities is reduced
by one.

No Law a Panacea.

The whole discussion of remedies

there is an absolute cure II con

only by hidden and abhorent means,
but by transcendent ability and unhag-

A FeIicitous Phrase.

When Secretary Hay was asked for
a statement in regard to the rumored
settlement of the war crisis i'm the

state department never plays politics,
but in the foreign relations of the
government aims to represent the
whole people.
This is as it should be. 1t is a
pity that the same cannot be said of

so much 10 do with the foreign rela-

participation in the treaty making

A Miraculous Cure.

Ny daughter was afflicted with
a fever sore on her leg for over
a year, helpless in bed three or
four months, and the doctors
wished me to take her to a hos
pital. a number of pieces OF
bone came out of the sore, show
ing the bone was badly affected,
and it was thought that the leg
would have to be opened and the
bone scraped or the leg ampu-
tated. Hearing of the cures of
San-Cura Ointment, we applied 1T
as directed and to the great sur
prise of all, including the four
physicians who had attended her,
the great sore healed up in less
than six weeks. San-Cura Oint-
ment was worth $500 to me, and
all my neighbors will verify this
