HARMONY CONFERENCE.

A conference called by the republi-
can state central committee was held
at Des Moines Aug. 25th. The confer
ence which was composed of the men,
bers OF congress, the state officers,
candidates for the different offices,
editors and other prominent republic
cans to the number of nearly one
thousand represented both factions Of
the party The purpose was to bury
the hatchet. wash of the war paint
and smoke the pipe of peace. and up
on the surface all this appears to have
been accomplished. Several happy
little speeches were made by the lead-
ers which were we'll received by men,
bers of the opposite faction; all was
well and everybody happy. It was q
regular love feast at which they sang
!" Blest be the tie that binds" which
is doubtless true enough. Let us hope
it may continue to bind. As to the
amendment reported to have BEEN pro.
posed by Senator Dolliver and agreed
to by the conference, we are not quite
30 clear. The amendment provides
that at the November election the
names of republican candidates for
United States senator BE- printed at
the bottom Of the republican ticket.
and no vote for United States senator
be counted unless the ballot showed
the voter had voted the straight re-
publican ticket from the republican
nominee for President to and includ.
ing nominees for the Legislature.

That there was no foundation for the
recent financial furry is shown by the
report Of the Department OF Commerce
and Labor on the foreign commerce Of
the United States, The report shows
that for the first time in the history OF
the country the monthly export record
crossed the two hundred million dollar
line. the total for November 1907 be.
Ing s20i, IA, $50. There were exported
during the first ten months OF this year
TO South America countries $1l 100000

the same months Of last year This
country took from South America, how
eveI Sl26,Ly00O1 worth ol materials,
as against Slll,U0D.000 in corresponding
ten month. of 1906, II will be observed
that the balance Of trade between this
country aud South America Is In favor
OF the latter for the United States Is
increasing In its purchases from Latin
American nations more rapidly than 1t
is pushing its sales to those countries,
This may be attributed to the fact that
the United States has not developed a
cheap method Of transportation, one
that will enable 1t TO got its products
from the interior to the seaboard at n
cost low enough to enable II to compete
with European competitors whose dcvel'
opcd rivers and canals offer the cheap
est and most effective carriage, This
phase OF the question was brought out
\torccfully at the recent convention Of
Ne National Rivers and llarbors Con.
gress by NJ. Jussennd, the French Am
bassador TO the United States, who
spoke ut length on the great strides be-
ing made by his government in the de-
velopment Of the rivers and harbors OF
France and in the upbuildng OF magni-
flcent system of canals. The National
Rivers and lfarbors Congress, as is well
known, is urging upon the national gov
crnment the necessity for cxpending
$50.0Ob0OO or more annually to press
this class OF work in this country.
Judging by the number Of letters
pouring in upon the Army Signal Corps,
every second man in the United States,
and considerable proportion of the
women, have locked in their breasts the
secret of the navigation of the air.
General Allen and his assistants are
almost smothered each day by the let
ters from inventors of flying machines.
This deluge Of letters is due to the pub
licity given the Departments desire to
purchase a dirigible balloon for expert
mental purposes. Proposals have been
asked for from inventors, and although
few bona fde proposals have yet been
received, it is expected that they will
come in with O rush before the date set
for a decision, which is January Is for
dirigible balloons and February for|
airships heavier than air. The exper-
iment will be made at Fort Myer, Va,
