Expansion Of Trade.

With the victory in Manila bay by
Admiral Dewey came the intimution
that we were nearer the doors OF China
in commercial way than we had ever
been before, and that with the prestige
Of that unparalleled feat Of arms at sea
we we're in a position to reap some Of
the advantages OF trade with that coun-
try that had heretofore been denied US.
The administration was quick to see the
benefits of the position we established
in the Philippines, but from the taking
OF Manila until the present hour we
have heard nothing but the bItterp-llke
cry Of imperialism" from the ILL.,
informed. II Is a sorry wall.
The New York Journal Of Commerce
in rebuklng the hesitancy Of the Bryan
ties in accepting the inevitable destiny
Of AFFAIRS In the Far East says:
The fact Is that the question Of our re-
latlon TO the future OF the Chinese em-
pire has matured more rapidly thnn even
expert observers anticipated. II was as
recently as February OF last year that one
OF the best informed men In this country
on Chinese Affairs, in view OF the then &C.
compllshed alienation OF three points of
strategic and commercial Importance on
the Chinese se1co1st, asked whether our
government ought to construct the output
OF our manufactures by submitting to dis
barment from promising foreign market.
and added: That Is question which may
become u burning one in the twentieth
century. and therefore men deserving the
name Of statesmen should foresee its i'm.
mInence and act beforehand"
What is OF vast Importance TO the
country ut this time is the opening up
Of these Chinese ports to increased
trade, and no one industry will receive
greater benefits from commercial ex-
pansIon than the cotton industry. With
fairer favors and a broader field result
ant from our successful diplomacy in
the orient new stimulus viii be given
not only TO the cotton growers but the
cotton factories that are sprlnglng up
ali over the south. In standardization
of these assertions It is only necessary
to point to the Chinese customs returns
from January to September 30, Of this
year, which show the imports Of plain
American cotton goods into China to
have been during that period ls2,SI5,00O
yards, against 1l2,4sO,OOO yards for the
same period OF last year. In the same
class of goods the imports from Eng
land have been for this year 29s, 100000
yards, against SO3,OOO,OOO yards in 1898.
In other words. the imports OF plain
cotton goods from the United States
into China represent, for the first nine
months Of this year, 81 per cent-of the
amount OF the English imports of the
same class Of goods, againsAonly 81 per
cent for the corresponding period of
last year.
Even after adding to the imports
from England Of plain goods those OF
dyed, colored and printed cottons,'
says the journal Of Commerce, 'and
thus raising the total to S65,3OO,OOo yards
against SIs.5OO,OoO yards for the. game
term Of last year, the American impOr-
tatlon is stlll so per cent Of that OF
England against only % per cent in
1898. 1t need hardly be added that
only the surface OF the trade has yet
been scratched"

The Democratic party has always
been hypocritical defender Of the Con-
stItution. It has sought to screen many
eyil purposes by attempting to creep
under the cloak Of It's protection. While
on the other hand 1t has been the most
persistent vlolator Of the provisions Of
that instrument. The application OF its
views with regard to 1t have ever been
9Ilogical and false. It has on conspicu-
Gus occasions exhibited its assinine
qualities by kicking against everything
In the way Of progress originating with
the Republican party. 1t looked upon
the civil war as unconstitutional; It de-
cries the operations in the Philippines
as war OF criminal aggression" and
now some Of the influential journals Of
the Democratic party are wailIng
against the unconstitutional action Of
the house of representatives in requests
ing Mr.. Roberts to step aside until his
case Is inquired into. They base their
argument on article !. section 2. which
reads:

There was an invisible kingdom Of
God in the midst OF the visible king

10 one another were known only to
God. A visible and historic continuity

Christianity during the middle ages is
an entirely gratultous concession II

CLOSE CALL FOR MILLERs.
Willie Bill Suffered From a Tired
Spell in the Ninth. .e..

The Minneapolis team celebrated It's
return home at Nicollet park yesterday
by winning a close game from Milwau-
kee. The Millers appeared to have the
game cinched in the ninth inning, with
a lead Of five runs, and Hutchinson pitch
ing gilt-edged ball. But just then Willie
Bill got tired and let down in his work.
The hard hitting Brewers opened up
their batteries with a perfect fusillade
of base hits While the fans were tell
ing each other that the lead of the Mil
lers was too long to be overcome, the
Brewers chased four runs across the
plate and then filled the bases. One run
only was needed to tie, but then Willie
Bill took brace and struck out his first
man, ending the game.
Up to that ninth inning Hutchinson had
twirled In fine form, and six hits summed
up the total of the Brewers efforts with
the stick. The Millers had given Willie
Bill splendid support, Davis one
error not affecting the score. Two dou-
BILE plays were credited to the locals, one
of them requiring the most rapid work
Hart twirled excellently for Milwaukee,
also, allowing only eight hits, and strik-
ing out seven men. Four errors behind
him, however, all of them proving cost
ly, enabled the Millers to score more
often than they deserved. The locals
were lucky moreover In getting in their
hits just at the right time. Not one of
the safe ones made by Wilmot's men was
