SIGNS OF THE RISING TIDE.
AneFica's Foreign Trade Hes Returned
 to Normal Basis. New York Times

AmeFica's Forelgn Trade Hes Returned to Normal Basis.
 New York Times,
 In the anniversary week of the greatest panic we have ever experf- enced it is already possible to see signs that the tide Is rising again, and that the political apathy is not sympathized with In the currents of business. This is remarkably so in the currents of business of the exchanges. in what may be called the unorganiEed forms of trade, which come closest to the people. who trouble themselves little with theories or events, but so about their daily concerns mindful only of actualfties within their own experi- ence. This new turn of events natmr- ally Is reflected least in the bank sx- changes. These still show a decrease of some 13 per cent. and that Is far from negligible, But they register slachness in cities, and are affected by more speculative considerations than the signs of improvement to which reference is made.
 one of these indubitable signs of Improving conditions is the return of our foreign trade to a more normal balance. One Of the earliest signs of impending trouble was the check N to our purchases abroad of whatever we could not pay for in cash, and that was followed by demanding cash for our sales abroad. Then our balance was ranging in excess of SlO0, 1000, 900 monthly. It was magnificent demon stration of reserve power, but was objectionable for its complications of all international finance. Our imports are still showing uecreases, but at sJackening rate, and our exports, which show a decrease on a nine months comparison of over s100,00 900 for September alone, show an increase the first for year, and a pleasing novelty. Our monthly balance abroad Is now only 941, ,2ss,0 900, and large enough. This has a bearing on the Treasury deficit. the customs receipts at New York showing a gain for the first time this year.
 Closely allied to this turn in the merchandise trade is the turn in immi- grafton. Last week the steerage arr rivals were S,405 and departures 6,565. To appreciate this change 1t is neces- sary to remember that the years ar- rivals show decrease of 240.555.- and the departures an increase of B26. sSs.

Committee Work in Congress
By Frederic J. Haskin. rmTwnmRmRmamnmameM MaMAmRwRm#MNwpmmmz

1 the rule was to give each state re- presentation on each one. But as the mum Der of states grew this plan of representation could no longer be main tained, and different policy had to be pursued.
 When Congress started out 1t had but afew committees and fewer rules. The rules of the House were made in four days. but by 1879 the accretions that were born of political exigencles had brought the rules tip to a cumber- some v6fume of 1s6 rules each of which had it's subdivisions. At this ejuncture. committee consisting of eminent pariiamentarians--Ra Blackman. Stephens. Garfield. and Frye
 --adopted code of rules whose pur- pose was Ito secure accuracy in busi- ness. economhy of time. order, uni formity, and impartiality." These rules remained In force until the Reed Rules took their place.
 Geographical considerations seldom enter into the makeup of committees to any great extent. In a recent Con- eress the sixty-eight most populous cities of the United States had but one member of the Committee on Rivers and Harbors and but two nem- bers on the Committee on Banking and Currency The attpatation to take care of ones constitunent at home Is such a strong one that few members of the House or Senate can resist it. and the Speaker Is usually careful not to appoint. one man to any two of these committees The only man who in recent years has held membership on the two great pork dispensing" committees at the same tiIne--Rivers and Harbors. and Public Buildings and Grounds--was Representative Bank head of Alabama. That he took care of his district better than almost any other man in Congress need not be said But even in the face of this. | Hobson, the hero of tho Merrimae. | with no other Issue than a greater navy--and the district so far Inland | that a naval shell could never reach i him at the primary

 We were on Dress Parade and seem to be well satixfed with the exhibition. We are proud of us
 We were here before Alabama was admitted into the Union and grew up with the State We claim that one of our very best men did a great deal towards keeping us out of the Union. We got pretty badly licked for 1t but that's neither here nor there"
 Our first beginning was not in Ala bama by a Hong sight As near as we can come at 1t our first orEanisa- ton was the church which was at Jerusalem" There we began to taste persecution and a harum searums kind of a fellow named Saul took a full >and in pesterinG ua He was mighty bilious against us, till one day he saw we were right, and then he came right over It turned out that e he. was 6 real manly fellow. He, had the courage of convection. That's what distinguished him. He didn't baptize much but he was, "corkerv for right living. He was an inde- pendent kind of a man and disdatned being under obligations. He'd work before he'd starve. We keep his mantle--as a curiosity

If an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court doesn't know what the "Cultus'' is, how in the name of the; Lord. do you expect me to know it7 That's the way the matter stands.
 If the reader will get a New Testa- ment and peruse it he will find that this same Paul mentioned above was inclined to use big, hard words that even puzzled Peter. The brother who spranK the "Cultus's on us can con- gratuIate htmsek on being. in this particular, like our first biggest preacher. If that isn't Apostolic suc- eaaaion, what is it?
