A Pessimist ON Panama. .

Although his views upon the main
question Of the ends to be served by
the construction Of the Panama Canal
are somewhat limited in scope, Mr..
HAROLD BoLcE, in the September num-
Der Of the Booklover's Magazine, submits
some very sound and vigorous opinions
on the question Of our general foreign
trade. Tho view presented is quite the
same as that to which We have frequently
called attention az the weakest point in
our national commercial strategy. It is
that trade extension Ia infinitely less
dependent on the creation Of new and
special trade facilities than 1t is generally
supposed to be. Mr. BoICE's argument,
like our own, Ia that our export COM
merce consists mainly Of the sale Of
merchandise which other countries want
and for which they come to us, and that
the limitation Of our export sales Is due
to the fact that our people do not yet
need foreign markets enough to excite
them to active and aggressive trade
seeking.

The trappings Of public wo exhibited IN
the National Capital have become some
thing OF nuisance. Years ago. whenever
an ex-Cabinet officer died. the Department
to which he belonged was draped with black
until It seemed that the nation was in hor-
rible grief. Congress finally took charge OF
this and passed q law preventing the draplng
Of public buildings as a mark Of mourning.
In those days. also. 1t was customary to close
4 Department upon the announcement OF the
death Of an sx-Cabinet ofiieer. and also upon
the day Of the funeral. There has been
reform In this particular. and the Depart
ment now closes only upon the day of the
funeral OF q man who died while In Office.
But it has not prevented the exhibition Of
public mourning In a most ostentations man
ner. The desk and chair of the late Sec:
rotary Of State were drAped for q month and

Tho state Racing Commission.

The present members Of the State
Racing Commission, AUGUST BELMONT
and EDWIN D. MORGAN OF New York
and JOHN SANFORD OF Amsterdam, are
devoted to the best interests Of the
American turf. Each Of these men
breeds and races his own horses.
The terms Of Messrs. BELMONT,
MORGAN and SANFORD have expired.
They still hold their offices by grace Of
the Governor. Not long before he sailed
for Europe Governor HIGGINS was re-
ported to have said that he would not
appoint q new Racing Commission until
after his return to the State capital. It
is the gossip among the politicians that
Mr.. BELMONT will not be reappointed.
So far as the public is concerned the
attitude Of the Governor toward the
reappointment Of Mr.. MORGAN and Mr..
SANFORD Is not known.
Mr.. BELMONT is a Democrat. Mr..
MORGAN and Mr.. SANFORD are Repub-
licans. and the strength of their political
faith has never been questioned. Mr..
SANFORD is the son Of the venerable
General STEPHEN SANFORD, and rep
resented for two terms in Congress the
district which his distinguished father
represented many years ago. 1t IL re-
ported that somebody has a mind to
splay politics" in the selection Of the
successors to the present commission.
II there is any office in the gift OF the

to be free from every consideration of

State Racing Commission. In the his
tory of the American turf there never
was time when racing was on 80 high

OF racing set up by these Commissioners

the State has a reasonable number Of

PORro RIco,s COMMERCIAL YEAR

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3i.-while II Ia doubt.
less true that the general economic con-
dition Of Porto Rico is deplorablc, tho stu.
tistics OF the trade OF the island indicate n
marked Improvement. The total commerce.
export and import, for the fiscal year 1905
exceeds that Of 1904 by more than b.soo.ooo
The imports show an increase Of $500. 2so,
and the exports an increase Of 81. 44a.e82 The
balance Of trade Is In favor Of the island by
little more than 100000.
As we have said In earlier comment, sugar
is now the mainstay Of the island. II sugar
prices hold as they are for few years. as
they may, and II success attends the efforts
now being made to restore the coffee trade
to tie old position. there should b. no moro
wall Of hard times In Porto Rico. The sugar
shipments Of last year exceeded those Of the
preceding year by only about per cent. In
their quantity. But the difference In price
added more than $4,000 70 their value.
This Ia an increase Of about 81 per cent. ard
II may be taken. In large part. as an Increase
In the profits Of the planters. Tobacco ship.
ments increased by ts5o.0oo In value. tho
greater part of which appears In the item OF
cigars. Tobacco leaf fell of about 10 per
cent. In quantity. but increased 90 per cent.
in value, from which may be inferred an inn
provement In quality.
Shipments to the United States Increased
about $500, 900, while shipments to other
countries fell on about 9i.6oo. 900. Imports
from the United States increased S27oo. 600,
and from other oountriee $4,000 The
larger purchases from this country appear
In . wide variety Of articles. cotton cloth
and manufactures Of Iron and steel being
particularly noticeable. the gain In each
being little more than 100000. Our pur-
chases Of coffee fell from S27s.Aol In 1904 To
sol 90 during the last fiscal year. Ship
ments to other countries are not classified
In the report. but We infer that most OF the
q. 900, 900 sold to Cuba was Coffee and that
tho reduction Of d 400. 900 in sales to France
appears chiefly In tho same item.
Unlike Cuba, Porto Rico cannot pro-
duce huge quantities Of sugar. She has
neither the area nor the suitable land. A
drop In sugar prices would mean disaster
Sugar represents two-thirds OF her export
Of the fiscal year 1905. Tobacco shipments.
S2.S77. 900 last year. are susceptible OF some
increase. American investors and settlers
evidently prefer Cuba for fruit culture. In
spite Of a duty on oranges and fplneapples.
We bought only s25i 900 worth Of fruit from
Porto Rloo last year.
The economic issue Of the island comes
always back to the point We have 90 fire.
Quently urged. Her planters must make
market for their coffee In the United States.
