FIUDA.Y. OOTOBER.2O, 1889.
SENATOR MORGAN predicts that the Nicaragua canal will be an accomplished fact within the next six years.
DEMOCRATIC stumpers admit that it is very difficult to convince people that the present prosperity iB unreal or temporary.
THE Indianapolis News is urging the grand jury to investigate the street railway franchise case. The other Indianapolis papers should do the same and by so doing they will do much to •relieve themselves of the state-wide, though probably unjust suspicion, of 'complicity in what all believe to. have "been a great steal.
REFERRING to the Dewey coyness,®a Montpelier dispatch quotes Senator Proctor, who is the admiral's political wet purse, with the trite observation that "no man has ever yet refused to accept the presidency of the United States." But more to the point is the sfact that Dewey
haB
THE thousands of men employed along the great lakes whos6 wages were advanced October 1st from 10 to 20 per cent, are doubtless inclined to turn a deaf ear to the cry that Democracy and free silver are the only true friends of labor. Nearly 16,000 employees participated in this advance, including 2,000 engineers who demanded an increase of 12% per cent. Instead of the 12% per cent asked they were increased 20 percent.
IT IE not surprising that foreign countries are becoming alarmed at the enormous increase in the sale of American manufactured goods. They doubtless thought, if they read Democratic speeches at the time, that the passage v'of the Dingley law would somewhat ^.curtail our exports and they would 'have this advantage in being able to keep their home markets intact, even if they could not profitably scale our "tariff wall, but they find not only the
American market fully protected, but Democratic prophesies unfulfilled and American goods invading their own markets in every branch. As a matter of fact tariff regulations have in themselves little, if anything, to do with exports, except that under protection., manufacturing flourishes and there •re more factories in operation to ex port goods.
DEMOCRATIC campaigners are not today calling the attention to our export trade that they were during the dis cussion of the Dingley bill. Tae increase in this trade has been so stupendous that all their prophecies as to the ill effect of protection upon it have been falsified. The fiscal year past was the largest export year in history, and the calendar year 1899 will be the largest calendar year. The total for the eight months ending with August showed an excess of $12,000,000 over the corresponding months for 1898, which was the largeBt calendar year in our exporting history, while the September statement of breadstuffs, provisions, uottons, and mineral oils, just issued by the treasury department shows for these four classes alone an excess of $12,000,000 over September of last year. On the whole the outlook for the Democrats to make any capital, for 1900 out of the operations of the
DiDgley
law are not bright.
UNLESS the African supply is cut short the world's gold production of 1900 will undoubtedly be more than double that of 189G. The director of the United States mint, several months ago estimated, from the gold output of the world for 1898, that the 1900 production would be 8400,000,000, but the St. Louis Globe-Democrat shows that the increase which he allowed for 1899 has been thus this year, largely exceeded in tbe South African fields and in those of other producing localities, and that if the gains are maintained which have been already shown for 1899, the director's estimate of 8400,.000,000 will be a long way behind the true returns for 1900. The gold production in 1896 was 8203,000,000 and during the campaign of that year Bryan predicted that the output would be smaller in 1897 and would continue to fall thereafter. Just tbe opposite to this prophecy has resulted. If Mr. Bryan is the leading figure in the com ing presidential campaign there will doubtless be some interesting "deadly parallels" printed of prophecies o' joye and their falsifications in 1903.
H13AVY FIGHTING
Oonsplouous Bravery Displayed on Both Sides—Dozen Boers Killed. London, Oct. 18.—A special dispatch from Pretoria, dated Oct. 14, by way of Dealgoa bay, says: "A oyolist dispatch was reoeived from Ottoshoep, near Maimani, at 0 last evening, asserting that heavy fighting had been in in progress all day long north of Mafeking. The British troops on board an armored train acted as a covering foiv to military engineers engaged in repairing the track. A Maxim on the train kept up a continuous fire. "Conspicuous bravery was displayed on both sides but it soon became apparent that the rifles of the burghers were ineffective against an armored train. The latter, however, was once foroed to retreat before a particularly strong assault but it soon returned, accompanied by a British mounted contingent, and the fighting was renewed fiercely. "Fighting still continues, the Boers holding their position well. A dozen Boers were killed or wounded, but the British casualties cannot be ascertained. "Heavy firing can be heard south of Mafeking, where General Oronjes' commando is operating. "A corps of experienced continental engineers, former officers, haa left Pretoria for the southwestern borders, escorted by a commando of picked Boer shots, it is probably intended for large' dynamiting operations. "A big engagement is expected shortly in the vicinity of Ladysmith. The forces of Commandant Piet Yys are encamped on a mountain overlooking Dundee, from which point they will be able to observe the movements of the
British troops.

Offer of Torpedo Boats Rejected. London, Oct. IS.—According to a despatch from Pretoria the Transvaal government received an offer from a wealthy European recently to supply a fleet of completely equipped torpedo boats for the purpose of blowing up the British transports on arriving in South African waters. The offer was curtly rejected, President Kruger refusing even to consider it. The originator of the scheme, who had been iu Pretoria only 24 hours, left immediately
Communication Still Open. Cape Town, Oct. 18.—Comtuunicu tion with Belmont station, 60 miles south of Kitnberley, is still open. The fight with Che armored train lrom Kimberley, in which the Boers lost more men than they did at Majaba Hill, is' held to prove that their shooting is not so good as it is reputed to be.
Boers Seizes Moddcr Hiver Telephone Cape Town, Oct. 18.—The Boers have seized the telephone at Moclder rivor and attempted to speak with Kimberley, hoping to learn the disposition of the British forces there. The maneuver was discovered and frustrated.
GERMANY
Will Not Abandon Samoa In Jtletui'jj For Indemnification. Berlin, Oct. 18.—The Keuste Nachiohten deolares that the oolouial council has adopted a resolution declaring it compatible with German colonial interests to abandon Samoa in return for sufficient indemnification.
The National Zeitung, which confirms the statement of the Neuste Nachrichten, says: "This, however, is not the Tiew of the imperial government, whose polioy is directed now, as hitherfore, to acquiring at least Upolu island."
Dewey Will Visit Ohioago. Chicago, Qeb. 18.—Definite information has been reoeived from Admiral Dewey that he will visit Chicago between Nov. 15 and Deo. 1, and arrangements are being made for a two-days' festival in his honor.
