The cry that some American goods are sold abroad ht less price than at homo ought to mislead no one, says the Portland Oregonian, In free trade England It Is common to make the ex port price lower than the d-mestk wholesale rate. This Is done to oflset competition in. the foreign market and also to place goods within the reach ol consumers who might find the ship ping expenses on them too burden some. England even allows goods to ' be made in bonded warehouses.so that they can be exported on better teim than those sold to the home trade. It is the interest of tho whole country to introduco American manufactures abroad even if our merchants have to sell them at h s than the current prices at home. Statistics just made publics show that in a single day forty-seven banks In New York city loaned over $207, 000,000 on city real estate and other - ecurltles. In Chloago in one day twenty-one banks loaned 187,000,000. Nine banks in St. Louis loaned in one (lay $27,C00,0C0. These flgurea show what great borrowers the merchants and manufacturers living in the cities are, and they prove also that they are doing a big business. Otherwise they could have no use for these large sums and would not borrow them. A vast amount of business is done by men who, lacking sulUciont means of their own, havo to work with borrowed capital. Farmers also borrow, but not to tho same extent as city peoplo, and as a rule they use their credit to much greater advantage. Olllclsl reports show that over 80 per cent, of the farm mortgages which have been examined were incurred for tho purchato of ad ditional real estate," and nearly all of the remaining 20 per cent, was to wake improvements, buy live stock, or invest in some form.

This laud of the free and the home of tho brave is rapidly becomlDg tin home of the slugger and Anarchist, though thero is no afllliatlou between the two. The leading sluggors of Eugland and Iieland are heie In numbers, and, in tho interim between the oloslug and the opening of the base hall season, are occupying tho lion's share of newspaper attention. New Orleans, the home of lottery gambllug, has becomes the home of tho iUtic fruternlly. Thero they eon gregate and thero they are permitted to give their brutal exhibitions u 1th out let or hindrance on the part of the authorities, and with scores of backers who appear to have untold sums with which to fortify their opinions in regard to the prowess of their respec tlve favorites. This is a sorry state of affairs. More than that, it is a m ist disgraceful state of things which does not in any sense argue improvement In the morals of the country. On the contrary it means retrogession, that demands the thoughtful consideration of tne authorities. A few years ngo it looked as though pugilism had been fairly squelched, and we had seen and heard the last of it, but within a year it has revived, has gained more than its former prestige, nud gives promise of becoming still more common This week a brutal fight took place botween two notable lighters, Fltz alinmons and Maher.

THE NEW COUNCIL WILL BE ORGANIZED TO-NIGHT. WHAT WILL THE HARVEST BE ? All Slates Balancing on the Polico Force in Which Thero Will Undoubtedly bo Some Changes. ERHA.PS THE slate published by tho Hun ALU on SaturJay sur prised soma of our good, old fashioned Re publican citizens. Per haps thoy gave vent to somo forciblo expres sions when thoy read the namos on tho re ported slatoe to which the paper gave pub lication. Porhaps somo of our younger R pu'ili can citizens khked, too. Why shouldn't they? What oxcuso can there bo for the Demo cratic party swallowing all the leading offices in tbo town when tho Citizens' party has a majority of tbo Councilmen? The members' of Council olected by tho Citizens' party, upon tbo roorganizatlon, will be Messrs. Lamb, James, Gable, Van Dusr, Uolman, Hopkins, Stout and Amour 8. Tho Democratic members will be Messrs. Phttlen, Coakley, McGuire, Devers, Bottoridgo and Gallagher. Independent, Schoifly. Now why has thoro been bo much inter est centered upon tho organization of Council this year and why is it the Citizens' mombors of Council havo not met and made a slate for the organization without bringing all official borough business to a practical stand still? It is because ono man who struggles for famo as a leader in local politics rave notice beforo election and last primaries that a certain member of tho Citizens' party would not bo in a caucus with him. This is tho simple truth. Aftor tho olectirn it was discovered that the man who had received tho dirty kick was the eighth man and tho Citizens' party members could not organize as a Citizens' party without him. Rather than with draw his declaration this would-be dictator at onco set about to secure tho 'assistance of Democratic members. Other members of tbo Citizens' party became disgusted with this man's actions and refusod to enter tbo caucusos arranged by him, or those with whom ho wished to mako n compact. Then it becamo necessary for tho would-be dic tator to secure three Democrats and tho latter, of course, demanded the lion's share. This is why tho Democratic "slates" con structed by members cf tho Citizens' pirty havo become circulated. This would-be dictator's policy in the or ganization bas boen on a par with his policy in tbo water question. When be once puts bis mind Upon a thing ho must make it go at all hazards. Ho got it it In his hoad that the borough should havo a water company and ho pushed the project rogardlcss of all consequences he would listen to no offers of compromise and would not stop to oon- slder tho consequences ol law suits. Not "The poople want water works of tholr own and we will give them water works." It is too bad that a man onco so much re spected in this borough should become so headstrong and reckless. Here wo find him determined to carry out bis doclaration against tbo member of his party, and find him giving tho Demo crats all the Important offices. All for what I To carry out bis determination, for a polico forco, and to "down tbo gang." Such dictatorship is deserving of con tempt. Since tho publication of tbo "slate" In tho Herald Saturday all kinds of rumors havo tnkon wings andaro darting bore and there with lightning rapidity, Many poo ple who bolieved that tho "sla'.e" with T. 0, Jamea at its bead would bo tbo victori ous ono have slnoe changed their minds and say that it is broken. The people are surrounded by total darkneu to far as the organisation Is con cerned. No one will venture to predict a "slate" now, much loss attempt to namo tho no i corps of borough officials and it may be safely assumed that no one will J tnow Just what the organizuion will lo intil tho vote is taken. The combination in which C uncilman Lamb figures ' as loader seems a confident one, but thero are soma who say that oven these parties bavo no "slate" and that 'eportssont out heretofore were merely blind!." O'.her poople have tho belief that there will bo no "slato" before Cjuncil to-night and that the organization will ba on a bap-hazsrd basis. At a lale hour this afternoon it was reported that an enliro new "slate" had been put in condition and that its chances for success wero good. Tho party rofusod to enmo tho Councilmon interested, or give tho names of the parties "slated." This report wr.s confirmed by alattorono from a reliable source. If the reports hold good the "slate" will be a surprise. "Down With the Gang." "Littlo Johnny Finnoy" and his "gang" havo beon gu Ity of what? 1.
