Advises Amendment to Law.

The Secretary advises that the present
law relating to central revenue banks
be amended 10 break the enormous re-
serve carried BY them and have the
money kept within certain geographical
divisions. He figures that during the
late panic the three central reserve
banks in New York, Chicago, and st.
Louis had tied up IN their vaults $427.-
100000. due TO national banks Concern
ing the plan ne says:
The result Of this would be taking
present conditions, that the banks IN
the three central reserve cities would
lose a considerable amount, and this
amount would be transferred TO banks
IN the reserve cities located in different
sections and would necessarily be held
by them as cash. This addition TO the
available and actual cash In banks out
side of the central reserve cities would
constitute an element of strength.
which. in times Of stress, might aid
materially In diminishing the violence
Of financial disturbances. Such a pro-
vision OF law as this would not affect
in any way the depositing by national
banks OF their unemployed capital, out
side OF their reserves, wherever they
could best use IT,"

our Manufaetllred Exports.

Plttsburg Dispatch.
There is a signal and gratifying evi,
dence Of the Industrial growth Of the
United States in the report Of the,
United States Bureau Of Statistics
showing the exports Of manufactured
articles for the fiscal year ended June
80, 1907 The summary just publish.
ed shows that the total Of domestic
manufactures exported to foreign
countries was $74OoOo, 900, while thu
shipments to non-contiguous terrltor.
les were s4o,OOO,OoO more. making an
aggregate of $7SO,OO0,0OO, against
100000 10 years ago and 10 times
the total for 1867.
It Is interesting to observe That the
statistics show steady growth in the
proportion Of exports of manufactures
our total exports. Another instruc-
50 years ago from onesixth to one
fifth Of our exports were manufactur-
ed articles. In 1877 and 1897 the pro
portion was one-fifth to onefourth.
In 1897 it had increased to 80 per
cent. For, the past fiscal year manu-,
features constituted 1898 per cent. e
our total exports. Another instruc:
tive point is that the exports Of iron
and steel manufactures have increased
in the past 10 years to three times the
value Of 1897 while the total produc-
ton of the iron industry in tonnage IL
rather more than twice what is was
then. II is inferable, when the adj
vance in prices is considered that the
proportion of our dron and steel out
put that is exported has not increased.
If It has held its own in markets
gained during the hard-pan period of
the sOs it has done all that can be
fairly deluced from these figures.

Cleveland Leader.
Out of 100000 immigrants who
have entered the United States in the
last 70 months, speaking in round
figures, probably 100000 able-bodied
men have remained. Hundreds OF
thousands were women and children.
Others, by hundreds Of thousands,
have returned to the Old World or
else have gone to Canada. 1t would
seem that such an inflow Of workers,
added to the natural increase in the
native born population-the men grow.
ing up in this country-ought to keep
the labor market fully supplied. 1t
has not done so. The demand for
men is not satisfied. 1t comes from
railroad builders and from contrac.
tors engaged in great public works.
1t is found in purely agricultural re.
gions It is insistent in the largest
cities and In the small towns, There
are not. enough workers to so around.
No special training or preparation
is required in. many cases. Strong
muscles and willing hearts are
enough. Plain workers are in demand.
They are wanted to dig and run sim.
pie machines. They are. needed to
drive horses and care for railroad
tracks. Mines call for them, and the
docks where ships unload, They arc
sought to help in the harvest field and
in the erection of buildings of many
kinds. All this is overwhelming evil
dence of the best good times the coun
try ever saw. 1t is idle to discuss the
relative advance in wages and the
cost of living as bearing upon the
question whether the poor have prof.
tied by recent changes in industry
and trade, when unprecedented immi-
grafton leaves the need Of workers
greater than It ever was before. The
men aud women who live by the labor
of their hands know that they are bet
ter off than formerly.

CHAPTER XVIII.
A Slfuht lnterruption.


The young officer passed slowly
down the dark staircase, his mind still
bewildered by the result OF the inter.
view. His feelings toward Hampton.
had been materially changed. He
found 1t impossible to nurse dislike
which seemingly had no real cause for
existence.
Yet Brant was far from being salts
fed. Hampton had not even advanc-
ed direct claim; he had lodged the
real issue, leaving the soldier in the
dark regarding his relationship to
Nadia, and erecting a barrier between
the other two. 1t was masterpiece
of defense, puzzlIng, Irritating, seem
ingly impossible. From the consid-
GRAFTON Of it all, Brant emerged with
but one thought clearly defined-who-
ever she might prove to be, whatever
was her present connection with
Hampton, he loved this dark-eyed, au-
burnrhaired wait. He knew it now,
and never again could he doubt it. He
paused, half inclined to retrace his
steps and have the matter out. He
turned Just in time to face a dazzling
vision OF fluffy lace and fiossy hair
beside him in the dimly lighted hall.
"Oh, Lieutenant Brant!" and the
vision chung to his arm tenderly. ut
is such relief to find that you are
unhurt. Did-did you kill him?"
Brant stared. IL fear ! scarcely
comprehend, Miss Spencer. l have Ger.
tainly taken no ones life. What can
you mean?"
"Oh, am so glad; and Nadia will
be, too. must go right back and tell
the poor girl, for she is nearly dis.
tracted. Oh, Lieutenant, isn't it the
most romantic situation that ever
was? And he Is such a mysterious
character!"
ITO whom do you refer? Really, l
am quite in the dark"
"Why, Mr.. Hampton, of course. Oh,
; know all about It. Nadia felt SO bad
ly over your meeting this morning
that Just compelled her to confide
her whole story to me. And didn't
you fight at all2" .
Most assuredly not" and Brant's
eyes began to exhibit amusement; I'm
deed, we parted quite friendly"
II told Mazda thought you would.
People don't take such things so .seri.
ously nowadays, do they? But Nadia
is such a child and so full of romantic
notions, that she worried terribly
about 1t. Isn't It perfectly delightful
what he is going to do for herr"
II am sure do not know"
why, hadn't you heard? He wants
to send her east to a boarding school
and give her a fine education. Do you
know, Lieutenant, am simply dying
to see him? he. is such perfectly
splendid western character.
ut would afford me pleasure to pre-
sent you" and the soldiers downcast
face frightened with anticipation.
"Do-do you really think 1t would
be proper? But they do things so diff
ferently out here, don't they? oh, l
wish you would"
Feeling somewhat doubtful as to
what might be the result, Brant
knocked upon the door he had just
closed, and, in response to the voice
within, opened 1t Hampton sat upon
the chair by the window, but as his
eyes caught a glimpse Of the returned
soldier with woman standing beside
him, he instantly rose to his feet
