AS showing something of the element of
uncertainty which enters into the New
York campaign this year, the Kansas
City Times calls attention to the political
history of that state as shown in elections
which have taken place since Grants
time. In spite of the fact that the state
gave Mckinley in 1896 a plurality of $685.
900, and in 1900 plurality of $4,000, it
must be conceded to be close. The total
republican vote in the six presidential
elections preceding 1896 was only s,1s2
greater that the total democratic vote,
and this, too, in an aggregate vote of
more than $500, 900. In the eight guber-
material elections not in presidential years,
beginning with 1874, the democratic plu.

APATHY IN THE EAST
Clayton Cooley Found No Enthusiasm
for Parker.

Clayton r. Cooley, deputy collector
of United States customs, returned to
Minneapolis this morning, after a flf-
teen days vacation in the east. Mr..
Cooley spent some time at Atlantic
City, where he was a. delegate to the
imperial congress Of the Masonic
convention. He also visited Boston,
Hartford and New York. A1tho some
time was devoted to business, the trip
was primarily one of pleasure. Mr..
Cooley spent much Of his time in
studying the political situation.
What impressed me most said
he, was the comparative Indifference
Of the democrats toward Parker.
There is ten times as much enthust-
asrn for Davis. The papers are full
Of the fact that he is really a young
man, altho he has passed the four
score mark. Everybody seems to be
waiting to see what Parker will say
lin his letter of acceptance. The real
situation seems to be Roosevelt or
anti@Roosevelt.
tAltho it is expected that enthu-
siasm will run high over the struggle
for governor of New 7 ork, the presi-
Dental race promises to be one Of the
least exciting on record. The repub-
.licans console themselves with the
fact that they will control the senate
whatever happens; and the democrats
are afraid of Hill. .

How the laps Celebrate a Victory
Suddenly out Of the distance came the
sound of a banda brass band, the regu-
lation Fourth Of July celebration band
and, land Of my fathers! the tune that
reached my delighted ears was March
ing Thru Georgia says Eleanor Frank
lin in Leslle's Weekly. In another min
ute we had come toa cross street, j. and
looking down its narrow length saw a
dancing crowd, half mad with joy, each
carrying a brilliant paper lantern on q
long bamboo stick, and each doing his or
her individual best, during the intervals
when the band was not playing, to make
the loudest noise that ever assailed human
ears. The sound of the dear old American
tune was enough to make my blood tin
gle, Of course.
Long may our land be bright
With Freedoms holy light,
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God, King!
The tune suddenly changed to this as
the band came near to where we stood
and I went mad with the rest I was
the only American who heard that music
and stood up in my 'riksha and shouted
"'Banzai!" at the top of my voice.

Our Manufactures In the Markets
Of the World Ia the title OF an interest
Ing article by o. p. Austin. chief OF the
bureau Of statistics, which appears In
the North American Review Among
the astonishing facts connected with the
marvellous Increase in our exports of
manufactures Isl that one-half OF our ex-
ports OF manufactures went to Europe;
that one-fourth went to that great man
ufacturing country, the United King
dom, and that nearly one-half OF the
total went to British territory. The
share OF the total exports OF the United
States represented by manufactures has
steadily increased increased. in
deed. out OF all proportion to the great
increase in our export generally. The
exportation OF manufactures has In
creased even in larger proportion than
the production of manufactures. IN an
effort TO estimate the probability of the
United States continuing oexpor. man
ufactured products In large quantities,
Mr.. Austin asks two cuesfions~~namely,
whether the manufactures we export arc
OF class which the world will continue
to require as a part OF It's daily life. and
whether these manufactures are com
posed OF a class OF material of which we
have plentiful supplies To both of
these questions Mr. Austin gives reply
In the Affirmative, quoting the statistics
on which he relies in doing so Mr.. Aus
tin calls attention to the opportunity "
ing before the United States for vastly
increasing the expectation of manufac-
tured products:
But there are still other worlds to
conquer. While we have more than
quadrupled our expectation OF manufac-
lures since 1880 and outPrown all other
nations of the world in their production
during that same period, we are still sup
plying hrt ten per cent Of the manufac-
lures which enter into the international
commerce OF the world. The value of
manufactures exported from all the
countries OF production. and In turn i'm
ported by some other country or coun-
tries, amounts to about $4,000 .000 900
annually, the share which we supply Of
this grand total being only nhout sfO0,-
C00,o00 annually. or this 81 900 900 900
worth ~ manufactures which enter irto
international commerce the United
Kingdom furnishes about one-fourth,
Germany one-ffth. Fronce one-eiehth
and the United Statrs one-tenth. About
three-fourihs of this great mass Of man
ufacures which enter into international
commerce are composed OF iron and
steel copper and cotton. OF which we are
the worlds largest producers. and for
the manufacture OF which we have IA
cilitles at least equal TO those OF any
other country; while In other classes OF
manufactures our productive powers
are developing at rate which promises
that we may with confidence enter the
field OF international competition"
