To the Editor:
a few days ago. for the first time
since I'VE old days aGone." two Apostles
of the Lord entered the state of Louis
amt to proclaim the glad tldings of
great joy" This alone should make
our conference. which we held on Janu-
airy 22nd and 23rd, noteworthy. Elder
Francis NJ. Lyman and Matthias +.
Cowley were present, and although the
weather was not as propitious as we
could have desired, our conference was
a success. People hocked to the
church for miles around to her the
Mormon Apostles"
At the close of our meeting four ap-
piications were made for baptism.
The Elders generally are we'll, physic-
ally ana spiritually. Some one has
said that man consists of body and

soul and clothes, and II this is so. it
can be stated that also in the latter re-
spect the Elders are without reprohch.
They are now gone, each man TO his
labor, and they disappeared as quietly
and suddenly as they came.
As consequence of our conference
about a score and half of testlmon-
les to the divinity of the latter-day
dispensation are ringing in the ears of
this people and some are seriously con-
sidering their condition.

ABOUT THE PHILIPPINES
CONSUL WILLIAMS REPORTS on
THEIR RESOURCES.
Latest Figures Showing the Area,
Population, Export and Import
Trade of Uncle Sans Conquest.

United States Consul Williams, late
~ at Manila, makes the following re-
port of the trade and resources of the
Philippine Islands:
Local and European authorities es-
innate the area of the Philippine Is
lands at 100000 square miles, and
their population at S,000,000 to 10000
900. The Island of Luzon. on which
the city of Manila is situated, is lar
ger than New York and Massachusetts
and has a population of 100000 and
the Island of Mindanao is nearly, if
not quite, as large. There are scores
of other Islands, large and very popu-
lous. An idea of the extent of the
Philippines may be formed, when it
is stated that the six New England
States, New York, New Jersey, Mary
land and Delaware have 10 per cent
less area. In all there are about 1000
Island in land and sea area of about
200 miles of latitude and 2,40O miles
of longitude.
EXPORTS.
During the quarter ending Decem-
Der 81. 1897, there were exported
from these Islands to the United
States and Great Britain 21G.o9S bales
of hemp (2S0 pounds per bale). OF
which 13S,792 bales went to the Unit
ed States and only 7S.1O6 bales to
Great Britain. During the year 1897
there was an increase in the export
of hemp from the Philippines to Con-
tinental Europe of 1874 bales: to
Australia, 2,192 bales: TO China. 90
bales; to Japan. 2.62S bales. and to
the United States. 1886 bales-a to-
tai increase of 15S.4S5 bales. while to
Great Britain there was decrease of
22,34S bales.
Thus. of increased shipments from
the Philippines. those to the United
States were 544 per cent greater than
to all orner countries combined.
OF the total exports of hemp from
the Philippines for the two years err
ding 1897, amounting to 6.52s. 965
bales (914,055 tons), II per cent went
to the United States.
During the same years the Philip
pine Islands, exported to the United
States and to Europe 1,5S2,904 tons to
Great Britain. and 1855 tons to Con-
tinental Europe; showing that of the
total exports more than So per cent
went to the United States.
At the current values in New York
OF hemp q cents per pound) and of
raw sugar (32s cents per pound). the
exports of these two products alone
from these Islands to the United
States, during the ten years under re-
view. amounted to $50 .263. 1872 so, or an
average of nearly $s.926.372 per year.
Data as to cigars, tobacco, copra.
woods, hides. shells, indigo, coffee,
etc, are not now obtainable. but a
conservative estimate would so raise
the above figures as TO show United
States imports from these Islands to
average about $1.OoO.OOO per month.
Today | have authenticated invoices
for export to United States amount
ing TO S13S,O66.12.
1t is from the above very apparent
that the trend of trade is toward the
United States.
There are here TWENTY-FIVE Consul
lates representing the several couu-
tries. but the volume of the export
trade coming under United States Off
cial supervision equals that of the
twenty-one others combined

Villain OF RomHnces
If the reyulsion from romantioism to
realism which has taken place in the
higher class of fiction could descend al.

the correction of an influence balefui IN

But unhappily such reform is impos
sible in the very nature Of things, for ID
proportion as fiction becomes true &c
life it takes rank with the higher order
and thus passes beyond tho class OF
readers by whom it is most needed.
For this evil influence of low sensa-
tional literature the newspaper must
share the responsibility with the cheat
novel. A splendid villain is always
more interesting character than dis
gushing brute, so whatever nature or
fortune may have done to favor Grim

he happens to possess comeliness OF per-
son, grace of manner or intelligence
above the common in his class, the pub
lie is usually RECALLED with rhapsodlcal
descriptions of his beauty, refinement
and intellect, and even visitors to his
cell are apt to be so hypnotized by theiI
reading and their own fancy that they
fail to discover the exaggeration.
The typical rascal is never the hero
