The sensational report In a New York paper that we were near an other bond issue is utterly without foundation. The treasury officials say they are getting more gold than they need or desire, the reserve now reaching about one hundred and sixty million dollars. It will be Rood news to those owning lands on which there is un paid purchase money due the' State to loam that Secretary Latta has di suspended. This will afford great relief to many, and it is to be hoped that the next Legislature will either repeal or modify the law by striking .off the excessive interest. OUR EXPORTS INCREASE. Thirteen nations offered formal protests against the Dingley tariff bill, probably a larger number then ever before. The records of oui co:umoroe since that law went into effect show that in the face of nearly every country thus protesting our sales have increased under the law, instead of decreasing, as was pre dicted by the opponents of the bill. Taking the thirteen countries which offered protests, and comparing their purchases from us in the first two months of its operations with the corresponding months of the preceding year, they are found to be weuty-ttve million dollars greater. THE OUTLOOK BRIGHT. Official figures continue to show . such prosperity as has not beon known for many years. The ex portation of wheat in November was nearly fifty per cent larger than during last year, and the shipments of last week from the Atlantio ports are the largest rooorded in any week for many years, if not at any time in the history of the country. In round numbers the actual exports of wheat for the crop year thus far has been a hundred million bushels. If the increase in price is taken in consideration it will be seen that farmers are getting a large sum of money for their crop this year. Corn is also being largely export ed, the increase for November being nearly a million bushels in excess of the month last year. SUNDAY SCHOOLS AT CHRIST MAS. Christmas is coming and tho Sun day schools are filling up with the boys and girls who want to bo on the roll at that time for what there is in it. They expect a reward not for well doing but for the reward itself. I'urhaps their names may oiwar on the books as occassional attendants, nt now thoy are regularly in place and will be until after the Chr 1st- imw distribution when their aoal will again flag and they will become absentees. It is a doubtful policy to thus encourage such boys arid girls, and has on the whole a demoralizing effect on theschool. Those who at tend rogularly, are not slow to dis cover that their material reward is perhaps no greater than that of those who do not, and children often jnage their actions by no higher standard. If presents are given to those irregular in attendance at all there should be a system by which absences should count against them and a certain number of marks de bar them from anything more than recognition. There is no reason why every boy and girl in Milford should not attend some Sunday school, no more than there is why the parents should not attend church. and if the Christinas presents were witheld from those who do not with reasonable regularity appear the de privation might be one inducement for bettor attendance, though by no means the highest. Now boys and girls try next year mil see if yon cannot become regu. lir attendants, aud so deserve not only the commendation of having lone your duty, but the present you expect to receive as well. Political Gossip. There is every reason to believe that Congress will promptly ratify the Hawaiian annexation treaty, as his already beon done by the Hawaiian Congress. The country will congratulate Chairman Dingley on his new tariff law when Congress meets. Neither he nor Congress will have occusio: to be ashamed of its record. Those newspapers which were talking of "defeating Mark Hanna' for the Senate have suspended that kind of talk since the sentiment of the country has been heard on that proposition. The attention of Mr. Bryan is re pectfully called to the fact that there are whispered rumors from Mexico that its statesmen and finan necrose pvupsinvaSjr -GQAlfryjwJilitotf A growing disposition is reported among the statesmen of China to adopt the gold standard, and there is reason to believe that that gov ernment will shortly follow in the tteps of Japan, and lay aside the silver standard, under which it now suffers such inconvenienoos. "Secretary Bliss has evidently carried his business habits with him to the Interior Department. He has suocoeded in getting down . the estimates of his subordinates for the next fiscal year over $9,000,000 This is an effoctive way every time of fighting a deficit." New York Commercial Advertiser. That self-appointed " commis sion" of silver men who went to Ja pan in August to find out tho real cause of the adoption of tho gold standard by that country doesn' seem to be in any hurry about re. porting. Can it be possible that the Japanese gold-standard states men have converted them ? Or did they find the facts against them ? There s no particular cause for alarm over the announcement that Mr. Bryan and his silver associates, who recontly put their heads togeth. er at Louisville, are determined to "keep up the fight for silver. " The facts are that the Republicans made gains in the countries which Mr, Bryan visited in Ohio, and also made gains in the cities which he visited last year. Work on the reciprocity faitures of the new tariff law la making splendid progress. A dozen or more oountries have already indicated a desire to enter into reciprocal rela tions with the United States, and there is every reason to bolieve that this feature of the new law will prove even more satisfactory thin did the rociprocfty foatures of the McKinley law. Grave doubts are expressed by the Chicago Tribune as to whether the merchants or farmers of the United States want a war with Spain. It argues that both these classes are just beginning to fool the steady in fluence of a conservative adminis tration at Washington, and any steps which lead to or even threaten war with Spain would seriously affect the improved conditions.

Tho vinegar la w of this state is unjust and needs the attention of law makers. Under the reqniro- inents.farmers ere greatly wronged. Four and a half per cent of acetic acid is required to be present in it and any person who manufactures for sale, keeps for sale or offers for sale any vinegar containing less .han that amount is liable to a pen alty of $100. A9 a rule, vinegar made from cider connins the requisite amount of acid, but the farmer does not know how to test it and dealers will not buy it nuloss ho can guarantee the vinegar to be ,np to the standard, if the state is so solicitous for qual- ty of vinegar, it should furnish in specters on the demand of any farmer who makes it, to test it free of charge and thus make it marketa ble. At the present time, all over the state there are immense quan tities of vinegar in farmer's cellars which they cannot dispose ot be cause of the laws restrictions. The statute is clearly in the interest of men who make vinegar as a business and as clearly opposed to the inter ests of the farmer, whose vinegar, as a rule, is better and purer than that made by the trade. 1 urtl'.er, the law requires that every farmer shall brand on every barrel he may sell, his name, place of business and the words " cider vinegar," which is a foolish expense and which serves no wise purpose. One of the two things the state should do repeal the law m its en tiroty or provide free inspection ana an official certificate of its standing, when so required. The branding clause is simply useless and should be stricken out. The above editorial from the New York Farmer applies so well for this state, that wo republish it lor the boncfit of our readers. Only the other day, tho writer was told by a grocorymun that he would buy his vinegar, providing we would stand the fine if it should fail to pass the Pennsylvania state test. THE TWO SUGARS. Many people will be surprised to learn that the production of beet su gar is decidedly greater than the pro duction of cane sugar. This fact is brought out. however, in a late number of the Forum, by on article from the pen of E. F. Atkins, in which he places the production of beet sugar for the world in the year 1896-7 at 4,991,000 tons of which the United States produced 40,000 tons, against a total of 2,846,500 tons of SMtorpfotrueeif gOO ttfes. ""ifaYs certainly indioatos that efforts to test the ability of various sections of this country to advantageously produce beet sugar are based on sound reasoning Stockman and Farmer. Whsra the Wild Plggont Are. Thirty years ago there were large numbers of this wild wood bird in this section, and flocks containing hundreds if not thousands were ooinmon. They disappeared almost as if by magio and there has been much speculation as to where they went. It did not seem as though they could have been exterminated, ana while the face of the country remained practically unohanged, they snddonly ana without apparent cause deserted it, and for many years the sight of a single wild pig eon to say nothing of flocks of any size has been unusual. A correspon dent in an ElPaso Texas paper writes that August 3rd he returned from a trip over the now Rio Grande, Sierra Madre and Paciflo railroad running from El Paso into Mexico about one-hundred miles into an unin naoicea neaviiy timoorea coun try. He found wild pigeons there in a bunch of timbor oak by the thou sand, whioh to all appearances were the saino birds whioh darkened our skies years ago. Tha location mon wuuea is in tao sierra Mauro range of Narthorn Chihuahua, Moxioo,and is a new wonderland whioh has hitherto remained undisoovered.and uutil a short tim3 ago haj been the roaming ground of tho Apache. It has great forosts of oak and pine which make it a fitting abode for the birds while in tho valleys large quantities of corn and other cereals are cultivated. Fiv Aria Mauma.

In London and Paris thousands of women mid girls are employed in the artificial flower trade. The petals have been horotolore made of silk, satin, muslin end velvet colored and then skillfully foshioned into the semblance of blossoms. This, Cos sells Magazine says, is all about to be revolutionized by tho discovery of a substance for flower making which wholly eclipses the most delicate textile materials ever manufoctured and which will probably tako their place for this purpose. It is a very thin shaving from the inner pith of an oriental palm that grows in Formosa, and can bo compared to nothing so well as the almost trans parent petal of a white poppy or a delicate tea rose. A lily petal is robust in comparison with this mar vellous substance which has all the sheen and transluoonee, and even tho slightly frosted appearance, seen in some white flowers. It can be tinted far better than silk or muslin, and is practically in destructible. In wot weather it gives nnd falls a little limp, just as real flowers do, but when the sun comes out it crisps, reasserts itself, and takes a new lease of life and beauty. So admirably adapted are roses and carnations made of it for button- hole and other bouquets that when fairly on tho market they will most likely make a considerable differ ence tothe florists, ns the fadeless flower? never really droop, and will do duty over and over again.
