HEDGING FOR ECONOMY.

The Dingley deficit is not without
its indirect advantages. AS an instru-
meut of Christening, its effect upon the
republican party is already apparent
and gratifying, says The Nation. We
do not hear so much about the super.
ior genius for finance which the re-
publican possesses by nature. Demo-
cratic incompetency remains the awful
thing it was, but it is looked upon now
with more Kindly eye; a fellow-feel-
ing makes the republicans wonderous
kind, even to the Wilson deficit, and
they walk softly as those who are them.

ficits. We are all .falliable mortals,
and the ways of Providence are mys-

wearing his financier's aureole in pub.
lie any more. All this is refreshing,
as is also the sudden zeal of the re-
publicans for economy in public ex.
penditure. This even reached the
subject OF pensions last week. Instead
loud calls for service pension, which
we surely should haYe heard if the
revenue had not been done to death by
Dingley, the house resounded with
laments over the enormou, sum re-
quired for pensions, and hard things
were said of some of the practices
which had swollen the appropriation.
Mr.. Cannon fatty served notice that
deficit would be inevitable, not only
this year but the next, unless the
severest economy were observed; and

"widders, who seem to be as pestifer-
Gus in this pension business as the
Elder Weller found them in general.
A great many wholesome truths were
and the number of "battle-
SCARED suttlsrs," as Cougressman
Allen called them, who rose to de-
nounce the slanderers of the old
soldier, was much smaller than usual.

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 5.-The sem

day than ever. After the sensational
developments of last night in connec.

were continued more clandestinely

were made on either side.
The feature of the day was the pas.

and by unanimous vote, of a bill re-

was introduced by Representative
Bromley, of Cleveland, who is one of

NEW YEARS THOUGHTS.

The year 1898 is now seven days old
and it is possibly late to publish New
Year articles, yet We must ask the
readers to peruse the following from
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat:
Q AS the last leaf of the old calendar
drops into the ocean of the past and
the new leaf of the new year appears,
as yet unwritten. and open to anne nd
ment, it is natural to review what has
been In order to make the best of what
may be. 1t is happy operation of the
mind to wish TO understand duties aud
opportunities more clearly, and to
make the coming year an improve
ment on that whose record is closed.
At such q time retrospective thought
comes unbidden, and purposes form
themselves for individual action.
But in a broader field, that of citizen
ship. a domain in which an American
holds place of peculiar significance,
there is chance to apply more
thought and a firmer resolve. In
periods of war or imminent pub
lie danger the citizen is bap.
tized anew ir patriotism; but in long
seasons of calm and prosperity there
are some who become forgetful and
even cynical in their attitude toward
their country. At the beginning of
1898 there can be nothing amiss in pro-
posing to inscribe near the top of the
list of good resolutions: Let US be
more patriotic.
The United States of America is a
great heritage. In orations among
ourselves it is often called the greatest
nation under the sun, and such. in
truth and soberness, 1t is. That much
can be said unt:nged by Wanting
spirit. Our country is great in dimen-
sions, IN growth, in its youth, its pos
sibilities, its sense of liberty, its sem
sitiveness to our own rights, and no
less in its noble sonsitiveness to the
rights of othors. We are not among
the scramblers for the territory of the
uncivilized or the helpless. Our mis-
sion is of great import to the world,
our motives must be kept untalnted,
and our deeds unstained. And yet it
must be admitted that we have some
who are disposed to dlsparage their
country and their citizenship. They
are full of evil predictions. and see in
every difficult problem OF government
the signs of the failure OF our institu-
tions. One additional New Years
resolution is earnestly commended to
their notice.
To be sure, the United States has not
reached state of perfection. The time
will never come when it will not need
the fostering care of brave hearts,
strong arms and able minds Upon
its patriotisms rests the realization of
its destiny. 1t is ssasonable to remind
those who find nothing more in their
citize nship than privilege to stand
aloof and speak in terms of supercil-
ious criticism that they are not OF the
true American type. A lower depth
still is reached by those who seek
their ideals in some other country.

their self-contempt.

has issued an order prohibiting gambling
in any form in Santiago, with a penalty
of 81, 900 for the infracrion of the law. Up

Under the Spanish regime gaming was

embarrassment to American soldiers
Gen. Wood took the action. Cubans heard
the order with astonishment. and pro-

Capt. Ord, of the Ordnance Depart

Col. Crane of the Ninth immunes, said
in reference to the San Luis fight:
II have no desire to shield my men
from the just consequences of their
wrongdoing but l believe the recent
trouble was not brought on by them The
result of my investigation has shown that
my men found themselves confronted by
a body of armed and uniformed men. who
they believed were Cuban soldiers intend
ing to engage in fight. OF the organi-
zation of the rural police we had receiv-
ed no notification whatever. My men did
not know of their existence and author
ity, and, thinking them part Of the Gu
ban army about to attack them, got their
guns The bad feeling on the part of the
Cubans of San Luis toward my men was
reasonable ground for their assumption
of that fact. taking into consideration
that they knew nothing of the formation

Sir Edwin Arnold elected to defy his

the strength of his desire to make that
affection known at a time of rare signiff-

was expressed in the embracing festoons
of American and English flags over the
tables.
This feeling gave heightened color to
the emotions aroused by Sir Edward Ar

II would have been in any event. The
banqueters cheered loudly and many of
them jumped from their seats to press
the invalid poets hand. Lady Arnold

looked down upon the banquet for the re-

Her small, amber -hued face was bent
far over the rail while the gray poet made
a speech which was to be spoken of af-

eloquence. He spoke of America and of
his love for 1t. He spoke of the kinship

Cotton was sometime ago of SO much
Importance to rank as the leading raw
material for the domestic textile indus
tries, but cotton culture has been reduced
to very small Dropo-t ions by the competi-
ton OF English cotton goods (which are
imported to the value of $5,U00,000). and
also by the tax which is laid upon looms.
The aerbaceous cotton is cultivated, and
yields a fiber which is white, fine strong,
and Of good quality. one of the known
varieties called coyote yields cinnamon
colored cotton. The tree cotton CGossyp-
um malabaricum) produces a fiber un-
suitable for textile fabrics. but which is
utilized with profit for stuffing pillows
and mattresses, and for similar purposes.
There are various other fiber plants in
the Philippines, among which must be
mentioned the pineapple plant yielding the
pima.
The cacao, from which chocolate is
prepared is very delicate plant 1t does
not thrive very we'll in Luzon but pros
pers in the mllder southern portion of the
archipelago. and especially in Davao IN
the province of Mindanao Here is
it is produced in great abundance and
of the best quality. The production
is estimated at some 1900 piculs which is
almost altogether consumed in the archi-
peago.
Coffee was until recently produced on
an extensive scale in the provinces of
Laguna, Tayabas. Cavite and especially
in Batangas The coffee of the Philip
pines may be compared with that of Java
and Martinique, but there are some spots
in which the quality of the product ac-
cording to experts. is comparable only
with that Of Mocha. In 1897 and 1888 the
total product Of the islands was about
I D;r nf h:,.l,
ed, with value of s., 600 600. About one
half went to Spain the rest to Asiatic
ports. For some time past the production
has fallen Off so that in 1885 the export
was only 34 piculs. The reason for this
diminution is the destruction caused by
one insect of the genus Xylotrechus and
by q fungus of the genus Peronospora.
Tobacco Raising.
Tobacco is produced all over the Phil
ippines, but the best is obtained in the
province of Isabella, especially IN the
plains of the townships which lie to the
southwark of nigan, Various varieties of
tobacco are there cultivated The most
productive tobacco lands are those which
are fertiiiZed by the periodical inunda-
tionS of the rivers. The tobacco crop
usually alternates with maize Tobacco
