Nor RID OF ALGERIsM.
Until Mckinley Goes tho Country
Will not be Freed from Rot
teu Naturalization.

Yielding to pressure, AlgeF has at
last resigned. He is said to feel eI-
tremely bitter over his practical eject
ment from Office, and he has a right
SO to feel; for alGcr's Senatorial rs.
pcratiou is n mighty thin pretext for
his removal by m administration that
approved and stood by the embalmed
beef, the dead camps, and, i'll short,
when the whole dance, so far rs the
conduct Of the war was concerned.
President Mckinley stood by Al
ger when to have removed him would
have been popular. He nov removes
him-or forces his resignation I'M
der conditions which make AlGer
something of a martyr, and are well
calculated TO crente sympathy with
the Michigan man at the administra.
tons expense.
For be it undcrstood(and this every
administration organ has admitted
over and over AGAIN., Mr.. Ayers
conduct OF the war department had
the Presidents mistaken confidence
and support. So long as he could be
counted upon for tho second term,
his resignation WIS not desired and
not asked for. This enforced resign
alton comes too late to relieve Presi-
] dent Mckinley from the responsible
ity OF the cmbalmeh beef scandal. the
rotten transports, the suffering and
death OF hundreds Of soldiers who
never saw Cuban soil.

Thc Rat That Sailed.

British naval vessel in n trap and the
beast was thrown from the trap into

OF food thrown overheard by the
steward, swoopcd several times en-.
dehvoring To pick the rat up. Once
the bird got too close To tho rats

Exports Of wheat Flour.

The nillcrs Of the United States
have made their greatest record III
the fiscal year OF 1899. While 1t
is true that wheat. corn, oats, corn
meal. rye. and in fact all other lines
Of breadStuiTs show "A reduction i'll
expectation on account of the de-
crease i'll the demand abroad. ilOur
alone shows an Increase which is Il
phenomenal one. For the fiscal
year the :o.al expectation of Hour is
over 100000 barrels, representing
over S0,0C0.O00 bushels of wheat. The
expectation OF flour from the United
States has made its chief develop
mcnt since 1879. Prior to that date
American millcrs follwed the old
methods OF manufacturing flour, and
the European millers were expert
mcnting with aud bringing TO sue
cess the modern roller mill methods.
Asa result the :orcign flour trade OF
the United States met with serious
reverses during the period from 1850
to 1919, the European pre-
ferring to buy their wheat and make
it into flour with their roller process.
In 1851 according to an American
miller, We sent l,SiG,000 barrels OF
flour to Great Britain alone. while in
1863 only 20O,QO0 barrels were sent to
all Europe. During The period of
1872 to 1880 over 20 per cent OF the
wheat md flour exports was flour;
i'll the five years OF 1870 To 1919 only
about - per cent Of the wheat and
flour exports WIS in the form of flour.
In 1870 the expectation Of wheat Hour
was 3,9I3,l2S barrels In 1850 it was
almost double. In 1850 it was nearly
II ,000.COO and in 1879 it had risen To
lj.2GS,S 92 while in 1899 the figures
were $4,000 0 barrels. This is Il
most gratifying increase and it is in
the line Of our success III the
expectation Of manufactured articles.
1t Is especially pleasing To note the
iuhtlllhn VI IlblI Stlll ~ llt OIltlll.
in 1850, 37S,G3i barrels were scnt to
Hong Kong, and III 1899 over l.0OO,-
coo. Germany is also becoming n
good customer for flour and we are
nov sending 100000 barrels there
against l3,C0O ten years ago. The
Netherlands are also taking l.O0O.C0O
barrels now, an increase Of 10000 fin
ten years. To the United Kingdom
our exports in 1859 were 5.27l,3ii
barrels and in in 1899 they will rx-
coed 100000. That flour exports
should continue to increase in the
face Of the reduction Of our exports
III the line Of other bread stutTs is
especially CRAFTY ing to those inter.
cstcd in seeing American labor par.
ticipatc as much rs possible in the
profits Of American foreign trade.
