AMERICAN PRODUCTS N MEXICO.
From the GIobe-Democrat.

From the Globe Democrat.
The recent expectation of $4,000 tons
of steel rails from the United States to
Mexico, which is said to be the first large
transaction of this sort. is of less impOr-
lance in showing what has been done in
this direction that it is in foreshadowing
what could be done by the exercise OF 4
moderate amount of intelligence among
our national lawmakers. At present
Mexico can buy steel rails cheaper III this
country than in England, which Is our
only competitor in this branch Of pro-
duction. Up TO a few months ago the
situation had been the reverse OF this,
England having the advantage. although
on steadily narrowing margin. Iron
and steel OF most sorts are unusually
high in price in England now, and the
falling off in the supply Of coal IN that
country and the increased cost of mining
it viii probably keep them falling to
their former low figure again.
While the United States may be able to
hold its own in the future against Europe

Joining us. without much aid from Con-
gress. that body can and should do some

mOdities. 4 modified system of recip-
rocity ought to be adopted between the
United States and Canada and Mexico,
and gradually extended to the other
countries Of the continent. We can at
ford to offer them certain advantages
here as against Europe in compensation
for corresponding fayors by them to us
in their markets. The sentiment in
favor of a policy or this sort is strong in
this country. and is beginning to be
openly and earnestly displayed. It IS
especially active among protectionists.
A conspicuous manifestation of this
spirit was shown in the calling of the
conference of delegates OF the three
Americas, which Is still in session. We
need broader and freer outlet for our
surplus products, and congress can do
much toward providing it for us. This
is a matter to which the Republican
leaders in the national legislature should
earnestly and intelligently address them
selves

THE PARTING GIVES HIM PAIN.

The New York Tribune is opposing the
removal of the Southern Ute Indians
from Colorado The sympathy of eastern
people for the Indian race is both sublime
and touching. They have had such
ample and frequent opportunities of IA
miliarizing themselves with the various
tribes, particularly the Utes, that they
cannot but fail to understand the needs
and desires Of the red men.
To send the Utes to Utah would be to
remove them a step further from New
York, and the editor Of the Tribune Is
simply agonized at the thought of sever
ing his lifelong association with these
noble SONS Of the forest. 1t is almost like
the '.rending of sweet household ties for
him to endure the pangs of separation
from his red brothers. 1t is almost like
the breaking up Of hard winter for him.
We sympathize with him; we pity
him, but, nevertheless, the Utes must go.

BLAIP'S PERSISTENCE.

Senator Blair Of New Hampshire is to
be admired for his persistence and in
genuity, if for nothing else. He saw
there was little hope OF carrying through
the senate a motion to reconsider his
educational bill. But with his Yankee
stock of perseverance, and his Yankee re-
sources Of invention he did not propose
to allow little thing like that to thwart
him. So yesterday he introduced another
educational bill, changed from the de
feated measure Just enough to let it
come in as a new bill and not enough to
hurt it. He himself is chairman OF the
committee ON education and labor, and
has a majority of its members with him.
He viii therefore present the new bill, or
the old bill in its new form, with favor
able report. And upon the first oppor-
tunity he viii proceed to consume the
time Of the senate and drive It's members
from the hall by a serial speech in its
favor. He viii possibly the next time
try to work the Associated Press so as to
IntliCt a good share OF bis effort upon the
general public. For these staid, sober,
exemplary fellows are not always above
using the common devices for carrying
their points and are not always the most
innocent novices in their employment.

THE KANSAS METHODIST 7

Noble Prentis, in Kansas City star.
The conferences in Kansas are objects
OF public interest; the brethren are al
ways royalty entertained in the cities
where they meet, and the local press al
ways gives full reports: but nobody can
be so much interested as the members
themselves, who are to receive their
marching orders which they obey with
the unreplying obedience Of soldiers or
JesuitS. With the conference. or rather
with a few Of its official members and
the bishop. rest their fate. whether they
are to continue in familiar and pleasant
places or journey thence to bleak and
stormy ground. OF whether. on the other
hand. they are 10 continue in barren and
unthankful nei9hDorhoods or have a
chance at least OF a brighter outlook.
The distribution. as it may be called. is Il
fact that concerns also all the cOmmuni-
ties Of Kansas where preaching Is main
tanned. The Methodist preacher. in
Kansas at least. is usually man of af-
fairs: citizen whose influence is noted.
He Is expected to take an interest in the
moral. educational and even business
interests Of his protein residence. It he
remains four years in the place he be-
comes in a new country an odd settler
and is respected accordingly. Hence his
departure for conference. his return or
his change to q new appointment are
taken note of 10y press and people.

IMPORTANT FARM DATA.

The average value Of the various crops,

oats. 96.S1: while broom corn averaged

So; fax, ST. In this statement the
average value Of fruits, vegetables,
poultry, eggs and hay does not appear,
but the showing for field crops presents
the strongest possible argument in favor
of diyersifying crops; or in other words,
for giving more attention 10 those crops
that afford greater remuneration for the
labor and money expended in producing
them; not to the exclusion of the staple
cereal crops, to be sure, but enough to
afford the farmer greater cash returns

for his own use, for man and beast
However, these suggestions are merely
by-the.way. The Kansas farmer IS
possessed of sufficient business foresight
and discretion not to profit by experience
