Heavy Exports During 1897.

comparison of the exports of do
mestic articles during the year 1897
and the preceding year of 1886 shows
that Notwithstanding the enactment of
protective tariff law our productions
have gone abroad in even greater guam
titles than under the low-tariff meas
ure. In the first eleven months Of
1897 the value of the exports of agri-
cultural implements was So, 149, 900
against 81, 527 900 for the first eleven
months of 1896. The value of cattle
exported in the first eleven months of
1897 was $50, ,49S, 900 against $33, 621 =
900 in 1896. The value Of the horses
exported in these eleven months Of
1897 was S5,170,000 against So, ,2S2 900
in 1896. The value of sheep exported
in the first eleven months of 1897 was
81 ,259 600 against S1,S91 900 in 1896,
showing falling off in the expectation
of these animals. This, however, is
more than satisfactorily accounted fer
by the fact that the sheep raisers of the
country are building up their fiocks,
and many farmers are branching out
into sheep-raising and wool growing.
OF barley, the exports increased from
50, 5J5 600 in 1896 to So, 335, 900 in the
t1EN EA DlOISllS IUCnLiOIltO III 1891. foOIIle
very gratifying figures are found in
the expectation of corn, which in 1897
amounted to $50, AL 900, against $780,
3S2, 900 in 1896, and corn-meal 81, ,209,-
600 in 1897 against S551 900 in 1896.
The expectation of oats has increased
from Sc, 796. 900 in 1896 to 81 ,S52, 600 in
1897; oatmeal from S1S9.O00 to ST.
OPS, 900; rye from S2,03S, 900 to S4,362, :
600. OF course in wheat the contrast
is marked the value Of the exports of
the first eleven months of 1896 being
S51 ,356, 900, against SS7 ,412,000 in
1897. The value of the total exporta-
tions of breadstuffs was S160,000 900
the first eleven months of 1896. against
5000 600 900 in the corresponding period
Of 1897. The exports of carriages, cars,
etc. have risen from S5,924, 900 in the
first eleven months of 1896 to 50, 1893, :
coo in the corresponding period of 1897.
OF hog products the exports in 1896
were S27, ,927 900, against S35 $4,000 in
1897; of butter, the exports of 1896
were S3,57S,0 900, against $4,412,000 in
1897: of cheese. S3.512, 900, against 3d.
30 900 in 1897; of vegetables, $1,67S,-
900. against 81, ,231 600 in 1897; of wood
manufactures, S7,413000, against So
OF 900, and of lumber, $40, ,54S, 600,
against S12, ,537. 900.

Hawaii and Sugar.

If the United States should decide
not to accept Hawaiis offer of annex
alton, the fate of the islands would not
remain uncertain for any length OF
time. They are now waiting to be an
nexed, and if the American people re-
ieet them, there are other wide-awake
powers waiting and anxious to snatch
them without temporiZing. 1t is hard
ly conceivable. however, that the peo-
pie of this country will be so blind tO
their own interests as to act in this
manner These islands, as has fire.
quentIy been said, are the key to the
Pacific, as they are in the line of all
ships passing up and down that ocean
and they will be of vastly more i'm
portance to the country when more di-
rect communications shall have been
established between the two oceans by
means of the Nicaraguan canal. OPP
position is being urged by some states
men on the ground that the annexation
of the islands will destroy or cripple
the new beet-sugar industry. It is i'm
possible to understand why moment 8
study of the situation does not elm
mate his feature of the discussion. The
beet-sugar industry and the sugar IN
dustry of Hawaii do not in any way in
terfere. Sugar beets are now being
raised with profit in various sections Of
the country, nowhere more so than On
the Pacific slope, and the California
factories have had to compete with the
full force of the Hawaiian sugar indus
try the treaties of the United States
with those islands having, for years
past, admitted their sugar free of duty.
The condition, from the beet-sugar
standpoint, will not be changed in the
slightest by the annexation of the
islands.

known as Rutherford place. 1t IS part
of a square given to the city by Gov
ernor Stuyyesant, who himself gave the
name Rutherford to the place. SO it
has been known all these years and
honored as such. On this place is sit
of the most famous old houses of his
toric New York, where dwelt some of
the finest families whose names are
linked with the heroic era of nation
building on this continent.
The new Board of Aldermen of New
York, with it's enlarged territory and
greater Importance, is now in the sad
die, and ready for business. One of the
first steps taken is the introduction of
an ordinance changing the name Ruth
erford place to Hagan place. Probably
that was q, mistake, and that the pro-
ponent really meant that it should read
Hagan alley. Mr.. Gaffney, the Alder
man to whom this stroke is to be cred
tied, certainly intended to make it Ha-
gan alley
Now, why should the change pe
made? Why should the gift of the
good old Governor Stuyvesant be thus
| misnamed? Why should the title nc
gave to it be ripped off and that of
Hagan substituted? Why, after just
$50 years of time, during which the
grand old military Governors street has
worn the name he gave it when he
decided the soil to the city he so loved.
and in the bosom of one of the churches
of which rest his bones with suitable
inscription to the great Captain-Gener-
al of New Amsterdam-why should the
name OF that street be changed?

Hagan was a Tammany servitor. He

orders. He followed the note of COM
mand as it went down the line. He
played a more important part in New
York politics than did the historic
Rutherfords after whom the place was
named by Peter Stuyvesant, because

a lesson of the proposition, for it is

ing that Tammany never forgets its

John Bull gives us in the result of his

then, the death rate is lowest among
