FOREIGN TRADE OF 1905.

Advance sheets of the detailed sum-
mary of our exports and imports for
the calendar year show a decline in i'm
ports from $1,428 ,169,S2O in 1907 to
$1,116,449,6S1 a loss in value Nof
$3~06,720,139 In round numbers
there was a loss of $4,000 in crude
f~oodstuffs, 100000 in manufac-
tured f~oodstuffs, $100,O0O,00O in
crude materials for manufacturing,
$50, 000, 900 in manufactures for fur
Their use in manufacturing and nearly
$26, 900, 600 in manufactured goods
ready for consumption. This shows
the extent to which the loss of i'm
ports was due to the falling of in pur-
chases abroad of materials used in
our own industries.
The decrease in exports was much
smaller, the total exports be-
ing $1,72S,6SS,1SS, compared with
$1,S95,S56,464 in 1907, a loss of
$166, 66S,276, or about half the de-
crease in exports. The loss in exports
was largely in crude food products
and in manufactured goods. The loss
was entirely due to a lessened demand
due to depressed commercial and
financial conditions abroad.
Since the beginning of the present
year there has been a marked increase
in imports as well as in exports, indi-
eating a general revival in business
that is getting back as nearly to nor
NAL conditions as can be expected un-
til the coming special session of con-
gress completes its work of revising
! the tariff.

Our impetuous friends on the other side

treaty obligations of the United States to
the citizens OF other nations are enforce
able from Washington over the protest of
any state in the union. Nevada and Cali

LlNooLN.s KINDLY CHARACTER
How and why ne saved the Life OF
the sentinel.


One of the heart searching episodes of
the civil war is the oft-told story OF the
pardon Of the young soldier from Vermont,
who was condemned to death for sleeping
while on duty as a sentinel. In the garb
OF fiction the story tells how Denny and
Jimmy. two country chums, enlisted to-
gether. Denny was the stronger and bore
the hardship of campaign we'll. Jimmy's
strength slowly diminished under the strain
OF hard marches. on one Of these trying
marches Denny carried his chum's haver-
sack as we'll as his own and helped in
other ways to prevent him falling by the
wayside. The stronger boy was thoroughly
tired at the end of the days march. The
weaker one collapsed. That night was
Jimmy's turn for sentry duty. Denny came
to his rescue again, took up his sentinel
duties in order that his tired chum might
secure the rest his physical condition de-
manded. But Denny m%isjudged his own
strength. Tired nature overcame the de-
mands of duty, and during the night the
self-sacrificing boy was found asleep at his
post. The penalty. under the rules of war,
was death. Between the passing Of SEN
tence and the execution Denny was given
several days in which to communicate with
his parents. When his letter reached his
Vermont home, Blossom, his sister, secured
possession of 1t, Travelled with 1t to Wash
ington and presented It to President Lin
coin. with the simple request, II want my
brother" The great heart OF Lincoln was
moved by Blossom and Denny's letter, and
the condemned soldier was quickly par
doned and ordered to accompany his sister
to the family home.

The introduction of a bunch Of bills
at Lincoln, limiting the prices to be
charged by gas, electric light and tele-
phone companies, and charging the
street area to be paved by street rail-
way companies. ought to be notice
sufficient to make each of the desired
corporations sit UP and send out an
emissary as minister plenipotentiary,
with full power to treat, negotiate and
settle.

The World-Herald lie erupting again
with a demand for the ''strict enforce
ment" of the so-called Sunday blue
laws, unless they shall be repealed by

enforcement to the letter" demand
include them, too?

That reminds us, there are several
states besides Nebraska that have
democratic legislatures. What has
become of the deposit guaranty
scheme and the Oregon plan of elect
ing senator's in Colorado, in Indiana,
in Missouri and in the states of the

Denver platform binding only in Ne
braska, where the defeated candidate
makes his home?

development is already in progress
along the improvement lines in many
sections of the country. The rural

that of his community and with gen

the farmer will achieve his emancipa-
ton from the of a d~rudging

An eastern railroad man charges
that the Interstate Commerce commits
sion has 1900 men at work on Amer

charge is, of course, a gross exaggera-

of that kind lies in compliance with
the federal law.

REGGIE.

Elizabeth Stuart Phelps in Independent.
BY the way of the throat OF the earth,
BY the way of the flesh and the fire,
BY the way of the lost mind
There had come. scorched from hell unto
hell,
With eyes empty as shells OF spent souls:
There had fled out of Reggie a few
Stumbling figures Of those who crawled up
Past the Swapping black jaws of the hill
When they turned, dragged by chalns OF
the heart,
To look back.
-
No man found words, nor woman tears,
Who saw that sight, and lived to say
What they had seen, whose coming years
Are rooted, shuddering, in that day.
But there arose one of the lords
Who lead the spirit, and it's speech
A young priest, yearning out his hands
Unto the woe he could not reach,
And lifting wings of words he said
Peace be upon the dying! And
Peace be upon the dead!'
When sank the people down, and fell
Upon their naked knees, and prayed,
But this alone / have to tell.
/ know he blessed, and that they prayed.
/ know that l could crave his prayer
OF alien faith, of alien race
| would that he should cry to Cod
Peace be upon the living. who
Must stand and stagger-in their place."
