Tie Millennium of Civilization.

Peans are being sung over the treaty
between Great Britain and the United
States, the intent of which is to do
away with war" as last resort, and
adjust all matters of controversy be-
tween the two nations by arbitration.
OF course we all want to see eternal
peace between the two great English
speaking nations of the earth. And if
not eternal we at least want it until
we can enlarge our navy sufficiently to
cope with Great Britain, which just
now has war ships enough to clear the
waters of the world Of American war
vessels in a space of time so brief that
it might be computed in weeks But
with all our hopefulness we cannot
forget that in 1896, just one hundred
years ago, a similar treaty was made
between the same two powers. Both
had just gotten through a long war
with each other and both felt tired.
But for all that they were at it again
in 1912. AS matter of fact it is as
AdIu lOI LdU1OuS " hCcD tll6 p0dC0 dS
it is for individuals. AS long as two
rival countries have their backs to
cover and their stomachs and pockets
to fill, they will fall out and make war,
and our reading of the past history of
the world leads us to the disagreeable
belief that the bloodiest wars of his
tory are yet to be waged between the
United States and Great Britain, on
both land and water

ly expatriated himself to become a
subject of the good Queen of England
and Empress of the Indies, has given
SO, 200 of his hard earned dollars, or
rather 1900 of his hard earned pounds
(called puns, by the Anglicised Mr..
Astor), to aid the famine fund being
raised for India. Mr.. Astor's generos-

become an Englishman, the arrested

ton, and grow to full round English
form and stature, and he may develop
a nobility and grace of character,
which were denied him whilst citizen
of the country which gave him birth.

General Lee Indignant.

Consul General Lee is highly indignant
at statements which have been made
by Congressman Money since his re
turn from Cuba to the United States.
The General is especially exercised
over the report cabled here that in a
communication printed in a New York
newspaper last Thursday Mr.. Money
quoted General Lee as having said to
him in Havana:
please see Secretary Olney and tell
him that am more firmly convinc
ed than ever that Spain cannot
put down the insurrection, and that
every day it continues means loss of
life and property without the remotest
encouragement of any final Spanish
success. As long since told him, the
instruction will succeed. NV judg
ment to that effect receives daily con
frmation."
General Lee says, II did not send
any word to Secretary Olney by Mr.,
Money or by any other person.

Reforms In New York.

A short time ago certain Mr.. See.
ley who has f'money to burn" and
who reJoices in the fact that he is a
nephew of the late great Snowman P.
L. Barnum, was given a stag. dinner
in New York. Mr.. Seeley was about to
be married and the dinner was COM
pliment from friends. Knowing the
Inherited tendency of Mr.. Seeley for a
show, and for novel one, there had
been engaged to dance before the as
sembly some ladies of the vaudeville,
who were to wear scant clothing. One
OF the dGnceurS at this function was
requested to do several accrobatic feats
which were not to her taste, SO she
told her father, and the father grew
mad and first thought of shooting
somebody, but only told the police.
Then police officer who belongs to
the reform league of New York city,
raided the supper room, and captured
everybody, and all hands have been
before the police court, and the sensa-
tional papers have had such a feast
that they all have sensational govt.
and the public stomach is SO upset
twill hardly recover during the year.
To read of the Parkhurst movements,
and reforms generally going on in that
city, we were led to believe that about
all people did there was to go to church.
The Seeley dinner has given our faith
IL. reform a set back, if it has not en-
tirely collapsed.

a Significant Increase in Exports.

A decided improvement IN the export
business of the United States during
the past year is shown by a Washing
ton dispatch in today's Sun. Briefly
stated, we sent abroad in 1896 domestic
merchandise of the value of 1886. S7I. :
256, or $179, 128, 900 more than in 1895.
There is great deal of encouragement
in these statements for Americs n pro-
ducers, as it gives assurance of grow
ing demand in other countries for the
products of their farms, their mines
and their factories. 1t is true that the
heavy foreign demand for our grain
was due in the main to the failure of
the crops abroad, but tie grain exports
constitute only a part of the increase.
1t has been shown very conclusively IN
the past that the home market. guard
ed by prohibitory tariff, is not suffi
cient to assure prosperity to the farm
ers and the manufacturers. A market
must be made abroad for their surplus
and every increase in our exports is to
be welcomed.-Baltimo Sun, 18th

GRAIN TRADE AND CROPS.
The Cincinnati Price, Current of la
Thursday says

The Cincinnati Price-Current of last
Thursday says
There has been considerable moisture
recently. which has been beneficial to
the wheat crop in many sections.
There has also beenfreezing and thaw-
ing conditions to ulore or less extent,
and the wheat plant has suffered there
from, but not sufficiently to change the
| general situation in any important de-
gree. Favorable returns continue to
largely predeminate. At the close
there is considerable covering of sno W
in the Ohio valley region.
The condition of roads in the West
recently has not been favorable to
movement OF produce to shipping sta
tons. and business has been restricted.
/ The demand, however, appears to be
within moderate compass, the markets
promising little inducement. Prices OF
| corn and oats are SO distressingly low
that it is almost like giving the grain
away to part with it at current figures.
The relation between prices of flour
and wheat has served to curtail in
terror milling operations. the selling
value of the product not justifying
manufacture on the basis of cost of
wheat. The speculative wheat markets
have to some extent felt the influence
of the lessened demand at the centers
for milling purposes. This will in time
serve to strengthen the flour market,
by lessened offerings, but as yet the
|supplies are ample at easy prices.
Whatever may be in store for later
period before the next harvest in the
way of Strengthening factors in the
wheat market the situation has not yet
found a shaping upward, and at the
close prices are lower than week ago,
without indications assuring are strik
ing tendency to higher prices in the
near future. Corn and oats also some
what lower than a week, at Chicago.
May wheat at Chicago closed &c be
low the highest point of the week, &c
above the lowest point, and 1sc higher
than week ago.
Corn at Chicago for May closed &c
below the highest point of the week, /
4c above the lowest point of the week,
and &c lower than week ago.
Wheat receipts at primary markets
were 1,622 900 bushels for the week
against 2 235. 900 the preceding week
and 2 821 DOC last year.
Corn receipts were 2,514 900 bushels,
against 4 572 900 the preceding week. |

The Reason of if.

Alfred Henry Lewis in the New York
Journal has amongst other things the
following to say of Mr.. Sherman's ac-
ceptance of the State portfolio in Nc
Kinley's cabinet:
Sherman is to be Secretary of State.
This is, without doubt, the best thing
Mckinley will do. The cause of this
call of Sherman to the portfolio of
State is to make room for Mark Hanna
in the Senate. Once on the plains
moved camp to make room for pole
cat who fancied the place. l know,
therefore, how Sherman feels.
