J. R. Van Ettcn, PUHI.ISIIKII, Milford. Pike County, Pa. To 9tnrt the New Year's work South Carolina proceeds to organise four new cotton mill companies. This is very discouraging news tor political waiters. Even General 'Wheeler, the old wheel-horse of the Southern Demo cracy, who U now about to return from the P.iilippinm, states that the mainstay of our trouble in the island has been the speeches of fussy old fogies here at home. Exports of the United States in the quarter of ft century ending with 1899 have exceeded the imports by the neat sum of 3,970 000,000, every year with a single exception having shown a balance of trade in onr favor. During the same period the foreign commerce of the United Kingdom has shown in every year nn unfavorable balance of trade, liet total excess of imports over ex ports during the 25 years being 114, 489,000,000. That old free-trade argument that our foreign commerce cannot flourish under protection will hard ly go any longer in view of the an nouncement juHt made that exports from the United States increased from 1497,000.000 to $1,233,000,000, while those from the United King dom were increasing from $1,087, 000,000 tto $1,287,000,000. This is the work of the quarter of ft contury between 1875 and 1899, during all of which time the United Kingdom has had free trade' while the United States has practically all the time had protection Democratic leaders are wondering what will happen next. The effect of Mr.Bryan's premature stand upon the expansion question, from which he is now trying to b )at a retreat, is causing havoc among Democrats, who do not now know how they themselves or even their leaders stand upon publio questions. Mr. Bryan has thus far made no decla ration sido-tracking silver, though most of the political discussions are devoted to other topics. Silver, it is claimed, will not be put to the rear, but rather other issues brought foremost. The distinction is a tnflo hazy even to the minds of tlio faith ful. The fault-finders, who could say nothing good of the Administration during the Spanish war, are silent pn that subject now. The British losses in a single battle in Sonth Africa are greater than those of the United States in the entire war with Spain, showing how absolutely un founded were the charges these nviloontenU nride against the con duct of our own war. The fact that men would be willing for purely partisan reasons to embarrass an Admiristratiou, and thu the Gov ernment, in an hour cf national struggle and peril ought to bring to them and their associates tin con demnation and contempt of every thoughtful citizen, irrespective of party. Democratic newspapers and statesmen who are scolding about Secretary Gage's oourse in deposit ing publio money in banks are omitting to say a word about the fact that this course was followed under Democratic administration, and that they had no occasion to find fault with it then. Of course, . their attack is uiorely a political one and for political purposes. If the Secretary were to carry out their plan, he would be compelled to pile up in the Treasury the surplus whioh the successful revenue law is now bringing in, thus reducing the amount of money circulation, for all of which, of course, he would again abject himself to the criticism of the people whose sole occupation it is to find fault with the Administra tion. Fancy nuts and crackers at Wallace's. A REA ft PKIZK PARTY. Once there was rii old lady who lived In a little cottage on a hill who had no one but her daughter, who was a diess niakeer, to support her. Her sou had died. Several boys ns semhlcil and one said, "let us go and give the old lady a prize party foi her daughter is sick and her wood pile is nearly gone. If all will help we can get her a load of wood and some nice presents beside. Well, said Ned, I am with you, I have ten cents, given me to spend for candy and I'll put that in, Harry said we have plenty of wood and I will ask my father for a load, Tim had half a dollar with which he expected to buy some oranges, but lie generously gave it up, and Will, who had a dollar for his Christmas, forbore the pleasure of spending It, to aid the lady. Ho they put the money together and bought some vegetables and oth er things, and started for the house on the hill, taking with them the load of wood. When they arrived there they went in, laid their bundles on the table and also gave the old liiilv some money. She was over whelmed at their kindness and could hardly find words to express her thanks. "She said dear boys, I thank you very much and if it is ever pos sible I will try to return the favor." The boys replied that they were more glad to afford her pleasureand relieve her wants than if they had selfishly spent their money for their own grat ification. They then piled up the wood neatly and made a nice path to the spring so the old lady could get water. Soon after they were telling the other boys what a splendid time they had at their prize party. Kat ie I'euoz age 13 Schocopee school. A true story. One winter day, when snow was on the ground, I went to see a friend and we had a fine time skating and sleigh riding all the afternoon. As it was growing dark my friend offered to accompany me part the way home. We were joking and laughing on the way, and it was quite dim, so my friend wished to return but I said "you are nearer home than I, goa little further. "We had proceeded a few steps when we heard the brush along the road crack and rustle, which frightened us both very much. I whispered, "ictus get lM-bind the fence," which we did very quietly. She was badly scared and so was I for I had heard her father say that he had heard a wild cat screaming only a few days before. We kept very quiet so the thing would not hear us, and soon we saw it come out of the brush, and what do you think it was had given us mch a scare? Only a calf, and greatly relieved we said good night and each went our way home happy at not ln'ing devoured by a wild mi nimal. Kvf.i.yn Dai'Maxn. aged 11 years. The time has coma, said ex-Min ister Barrett in an address on tin Philippine situation before Union League Clubof Chicago, when the country must take either the opin Ions of actual observers sucii as Dewey, Schurman, Bnveridge Donby, and the luteU.nioral Law ton, or man who have watched events from a distance of 10,000 miles. "Are wo to aoccpt," he asked, the opinions of Colo of No- braska or those burg, of Nebra men on the d Stotsen- ill leading 'olonel BryaD says v'iir oked the conflict, and are solely responsible for it. Colonel Stotsenburg, in command of a Nebraska regiment stationed at that point of the line around Manila where the first fight ing of the insurrection began, went on record thnt the Filipinos provok ed the outbreak after he and other officers had done all in their power to prevent." And Mr. Barrett, who has long known the Malay character and who has been in the Philippines himself, is n Democrat Our Latest Music Offer Please send us the names and ad. dresses or tnree music teachers or performers on the piano or organ and 25 cents in silver or post age and we will send you all of the following new and most popular pieces full sheet music arranged for piano or organ ; "lhe k lower that Won My Heart" now being sung by the best known singers m he conn try, "Mamie O'Rourko" the latest popular waltz song, "March Manila, Dewey March-Two Step ns play ed by the famous U.

But when she sat down In response to the invitation of the lady who gives lessons her assurnnre left her. She collapsed and fanned herself with a paper for several moments. "I came here In such a hurry immed iately after I saw your advertisement," she snll, "thnt I am quite out of breath. And I have had so much of late to bother me that I get easily excited. I thought I would come right down and put the case In your hands and get yon to tell me what to do. The girl I got from the Intelligence office six weeks ago was perfectly lovely at first. She never broke anything nor took any thing that didn't belong to her, and was as polite and considerate as could be. She let me come Into the kitchen whenever I wanted to, and if I express ed a desire to have anything I was es pecially fond of for dinner she was sure to get It. She never went out of an evening without giving me at least two hours' notice, and altogether she was the best girl we ever had. But It didn't last," she added, with a deep sigh. "Indeed!" said the teacher, who wai looking at her visitor with natural sur prise. "No. After the second week she be gan to get like all the rest. And the fourth week she was the worst we had ever experienced. She got harsh and haughty. She didn't like the way I was raising the baby nor the tunes I played on the piano. I couldn't do anything to suit her. So I told Charley that we had better let her go elsewhere and try to be happier than we seemed able to make her. Charley told me to discharge her. So I told her to go. She just laughed. So Charley said he would attend to her case, and he went right out into the kitchen." She hesitated, and the teacher, who had become Interested, Inquired: "What did Charley do?" "Charley didn't do anything. The girl rolled up her sleeves and told him If he didn't get out of there she would thrash him within an inch of his life. So that's the whole story, and we didn't know what to do until we saw your advertisement to teach China painting and firing. I don't care about the China painting just at present, but if you will give me a few lessons in firing I shall be eternally grateful, and Charley told me to say that money was no object."
