The United States is finding great CT foreign market for it's corn. The growth in the figures of the exports for the last six years is a rema rkabIe story of development It indicates changing conditions in Europe of great importance to the economists. In 1891 the United States exported 31 100000 bushels, and in 1892 this country sent 77,0OO,OOO bushels. Then in 1893 the figures dropped back to 55,OOO,0O0. Another drop to 42,OOO, 900 followed the next year. In 1895 the present remarkable upturn began, The record for that year was about 61,000,000. In 1896 we doubled it. or nearly so, sending 116,OOG, 900 bush els across salt water It was far more than America had ever sold, but in 1897 the figures went to 50 per cent higher. And it is still going. Mil lions of bushels are carried each week. This is a happy story to the farmers Of Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska where millions and millions of bushels are raised annually. It is only a ques- tion of time until our entire surplus
 crop will cross the ocean.

A JUST DECISION.

Chief Justice Street has denied the application of Yavapai county for a perpetual injunction restraining the territorial loan commission from ex- changing the Prescott and Arizona Central railroad bonds. so called, for territorial funding bonds. We p int the text of the decision in another column This decision is of far reaching importance. It pre- claims to the world that Arizonl will not tolerate the repudiation idea, and that investments in the territofy's se- curities are as safe as investments in the securities of any state in the Union.
 Arizona has suffered greatly through the efforts of persons in Yav- apai county to have these bonds inval idated. Many plSns of improvement, in different parts of the territory have either miscarried entirely or are hang ing fire because of the doubt engen- dered by the acts of the repudiaticn- ists. Now the territory's financial at mosphere has been cleared. Chief Justice Streets decision will carry conviction to the eastern money c5n- ters of Arizona's rectitude. Our credit will be re-establishei. Al honor to Chief Justice Street.

There went into effect recently in Pennsylvania an educational law which should be enacted by every state legislature in the Union. It pro- vides that hereafter every person un- der 16 years old shall be able to read and write. or to prove that he or she has attended school for sixteen weeks. evening or day instruction counting, during the year next preceding There are in the Keystone state not fewer than 27.000 persons between 10 and 19 years of age unable to read and wri e. and probably 5O,O0O will be effected by the compulsory law. It is natural to ask whether it will be possible after this statute has been in effect ten years for such an affair as that which occurred at Hazleton to happen, where the mob was largely made up of men who did not know the English lan- guage.

GREAT BRITAIN IN CHINA.

There are really no new phases in nese waters, although it is said that Russia and Great Britain have reached an understanding in the dispute over Korean customs, the English agent ors and the emoluments with a Rus sian official. That is practically all the news cn the subject.
 The English newspapers and the English people realize that Great Brit aims commercial affairs are in danger but what is to be done is not pointed out. GermaDy's bold stroke has dazed the Englishmen, but they evidently do not see enough of provocation yet to force them to show their pugnac ty. Great events move slowly, and it may not be until Prince Henry's flee; reaches Chinese waters that really startling developments will be an nounced.
 The English papers are delighted with the attitude of the United Sta; es at this time, and the utteEa ances of our newspapers, as voicing the views of the people, are giving our English cousins to understand that the Uni-- ed States, while always ready to maintain it's rights, is not antago- nistim to Great Britain. The two great English speak king nations of the world have no desire to break wi h each other, and the United States rec ognizes that what would be bad for Great Britain in a commercial sense would also be bad for the United States. Great Britain is mistress of the sea, and it has a naval force suf- flcient to not only surround Great Britain itself, but to also send strong fleets to meet the navies of other countries. But Great Britain does not banker for war, although it is always quick to take affront. Commerce and not war is the god of the English, and that powerful nation recognizes that war with any country would be dis astrous for England.
 At the same time the plans of Ger many and Russia and other nations are opposed to the further expansion of Great Britain's influence in the east. It would not be surprising if as the London correspondent of the New York Sun says, the long prom | ised war between the powers was on l the point of breaking out.

~An aged negro in Arkansas who stole razor-back hog worth two dol lars was tied to his cabin door by a mob and then shot to death. Yet the southern papers apologize for lynch ing upon the ground tha the victims are only those accused of heinous of lenses. If that poor negro had stolen a horse or a gold watch there is no to him. The trouble with the Arkan- sas lynchers is that they love murder for murders sake, but are too coward ly to commit murder alone.

 The recent discussion as to the rates of interest to be paid henceforth by savings banks meets striking parallel in the action of the New York Life Insurance company.

~THE PLAY@
The Heart of Maryland

David Belascos famous play, 1.-THE Heart
of Maryland" which is to be presented at
O Brien's opera house Wednesday evening,
Is one of the few plays now patent upon the
English speaking stage that is natural, not
exaggerated in the heroicism of its situa-
lions nor over-strained for the sake OF et-
feet in the narration of Its story. It's
theme is womans love, and her struggle TO
protect and shield from harm the one to
secure whose happiness she devotes all the
energies of her nature, is the animate mo-
tive and absorbant interest of its action.
After it's triumphant success in every
leading city in this country, its presenta-
ton during the past spring and summer in
London, England, at the Adelphi theater
crowned its American company and the
author with the laurels of an artistic and
literary triumph seldom accorded to the
dramatic work of those foreign to the
English stage Throughout its long series
of performances it ran nightly applauded
to the very echo by crowded and enthusias-
tic audiences, of which the nobility and the
most cultured of the metropolitan play
goers were conspicuous in their demon
strations of approval
There is no denying that this play Is
worthy of the most liberal patronage OF our
theater-goers. 1t is a splendid production
of dramatic skill and enterprise More
over 1t is interpreted by a cast that Is as
nearly perfect as 1t would seem possible,
headed by that charming actress, Miss AL
ma Kruger.
