Boston's export trade showed a re-
markable increase, last year. meaning
as usual the fiscal year ending June 30,
1879 The total was S12S, O37, sSs, or 50,
UUo,OOO more than the year before. The
Iull significance of these figures is better
| exhibited by analysis. In the first place.
II IS TO be remembered that the gross
exports for the whole country fen off
about 100000 in value, last year. Yet
Oh the three staple commodities which
represent 90 per cent of the country's
exports, Boston made a gain. of IS Dor
cent in breadstuffs and 25 per cent in
! cotton exports, while the value of the
| provisions sent out remains about the
same as before. OF all the America
ports, Philadelphia is the only ether
one that did not show a marked falling
OH IN exports of breadstuffs, and Cal
weston, the only one that did not suffer
loss in the amount of cotton export
ed. AT some ports the losses ran as
high as 20 or 25 per cent. The increased
traffic in breadstuffs may be partially
accounted for by the fact that Boston
offers far better facilities for western
shipments than New York, since the
wheat may be delivered directly to the
vessels at the Boston water front,
without transfer or lighterage. The
extraordinary increase in cotton ex-
ports is not so easily explained, consid-
ering the distance of the port from the
cotton fields, though Boston has always
been great cotton market, because of
its proximity to the great cotton mills.
1t is not to be forgotten that the ex-
pansion of Boston's commerce is of
very material consequence to the whole
state.

GEN. 0RAPER's STATEMENT
Boston Transcript

AS to the story Of his own likelihood
of succeeding Senator Hoar, Gen. ORA
per says:
My aspirations for the near future
certainly are not in the direction Of the
senatorshi2, and in any event should
not think of being a candidate against
Senator Hoar. 1t is my opinion that
he will be returned to the Senate as
long as he cares to serve there, and
l should not suppose there would be
any dissent to this in Massachusetts
as long as he lives He Is one Of the
ablest men the commonwealth ever
produced, and his retirement would be
distinct loss. 1t would create a va
cancy which could be Allied so ably by
no other man. The fact that difference
Of opinion may exist respecting his at
titude on the Philippine question does
not affect the high respect and esteem
in which he is helc by all parties, and
do not believe those differences will
have any effect SO far as opposition to
his denomination, when his term ex-
pires, is concerned"

Labor disturbances become more nu-
merous as the period of industrial ac-
tivity and business prosperity con-
tinues, but it is worth noting that al
most without exception the strikes
have failed miserably. Both senti-
mental sympathy and substantial sup
port are lacking, and rational methods
of settling differences are apt to bring
better results.

1t is utter nonsense for Gen. Ayers
friends to take President Mckinley to
task for forcing" the secretary out of
Office. Leaving all questions Of war adj
ministration out Of consideration, there
was an obvious reason why Gen. AL
gers continuance as member of the
cabinet was the height Of impropriety
He has made an alliance with Gov.
Hazen S. Pingree, who declares him
self hostile to the policy of the admin
istration so far as it relates to the war
and the former Spanish possessions
and who repudiates the policy of the
republican party in regard to the tariff
the gold standard and minor matters
that need not be specified here. Dur
ing all the months Of heated controver-
sy and public denunciation, the presid
ent stood behind his war secretary with
amazing consistency and patience
though many another would have long
ago thrown him overheard for political
reasons, whether the charges were true
or false. Gen. Alger can attribute his
undoing to his extraordinary political
indiscretion in forming an alliance
which compelled the party leaders ev-
erywhere to demand his retirement

Women and children have been UNI
pleasantly active in the violent scenes
attending the street railway strike in
New York. According to all accounts,
they have made scarcely less trouble
than the men, and in fact the police
have said they were more difficult to
control because they were not always
amenable to the same sort of rigorous
discipline. The reports of their doings
rather disagreeably recall the times of
the French revolution. AS in Cleve-
land, the rioting in New York is a
shameful reproach to the city, though
the damage to property has not yet
equaled that inflicted in Ohio.
