The capture of Mrs. Aguinaldo's ward
robe by Lieutenant Johnson of the Sd Cav
airy at San Nicholas will doubtless evoke
chorus of protest from the members of
the Aid Society. General Otis will prob
ably be reminded by them of the rules of
warfare and urged to conduct the cam
paign on humane lines This Is criminal
aggression, indeed. Where are the liberties
of men and women when such outrages are
permitted? 1t was bad enough to deprive
Aguinaldo of his printing press. but to in
tercept the court costumes of his spouse is
intOIerable.

An Awful Responsibility.
From the St. Paul Pioneer Press.


There would have been no war in tho
Philippines except for the anti-expansion
allies of Aguinaldo on this side Of the
water, and the war precipitated at their
instigation would have ended long ago but
for the political support given to the in
surgents. not by but in the name of a
81 eat party which has made surrender to
Aguinaldo a main issue In its political cam
paign. They are primarily responsible for
every drop of American blood shed in the
operations necessary to reduce the insur-
gents to obedience to the authority of the
United States. 1t Is an awful responsibility.

INCREASE IN FARM PRODUCTS
The Total For the Past Year Reached
s1,a1o,a91 ,91s. Largely Exceeding the
Record-Breaking Figures of 1S97-Im-
ports the Smallest Since 1885, Their
Value Being s6I6,O49.654.
Our Export Record For 1898.

WASHINGTON, D. @. (special).-It is an
%nounced, with figures to prove 1t, that the
year 1898 was the banner ear in foreign
trade for the United States. The exports
were the largest ever recorded for one
year, and there was an extraordinary de-
crease in the imports. A report has just
been finished by Frank H. Hitchcock, Chief
of the Section of Foreign Markets Of the
Agricultural Department. 1t is shown that
the total value of our foreign domestic ex-
ports reached the enormou sum Of $780,
291, 913, exceeding the record breaking fig
ares of 1897 by $17s, 2S4 $40.
On the other hand, the imports during
1898 were the smallest since 1885, their
value being s616, 049, 654, a decline of S14S,-
$50, 1853 from the figures OF 1897.
Broadly stated, for every dollars worth
OF foreign merchandise brought into the
United States two dollars worth of our
products found q market abroad. Our do
nestle exports, as compared with imports,
show an excess of 1854, 242, 259, or more
than twice the excess for 1897, the largest
previously reported.
An interesting fact developed by the re-
port is the increase in the exports of agri-
cultural products, that being 70.93 per cent.
OF the total, or 1855, 507 ,942, a gain of near
ly twenty-five per cent. over 1887. Cur pur-
ehases OF foreign agricultural products in
1898 amounted to only S314, 291 ,796, as COM
pared with s400, ST. ,46S in 1897, a decrease
of SS6,579,672, or about twenty-five per
cent.
The value OF the American farm produce
sent abroad during 1898 IA much more
than double that of our agricultural I'M
ports, the difference amounting to $544,-
216, 146. In 1897 the excess on the side of
the agricultural exports was only $685.
8s3, 725, and in the years Immediately pre-
ceding 1t was still smaller.
The total value OF the breadstuff5 sent
abroad advanced from S197, 1857, 219 in 1897
to 1888 ,S97, l19 in 1898. In wheat and -four
alone there was a gain Of nearly 800 ,00O,-
900. While these enormous gains resulted
In part from the higher prices that pre-
vailed, there was at the same time an i'm
portant Increase In the quantity shipped.
The total wheat shipments were 14S ,231, 26l
bushels, nearly double the quantity ex-
ported In 1897. Averaging the export price
at 98.3 cents per bushel, the value was
S145, 6s4, $50, a gain of sS5, 7G4, All over 1897,
when the average price was 1853 cents per
bushel and the total value s5s, 92O, 17S.

In an address on the enlargement oil
public houses, at the recent Scottish TEN.
perance Convention, james Guthrie, J.. P,
OF Breehin, made as many points as there
are prickles on a %porcupine, as well as en-.
listed ''apt alterations artfui aid" Here
is an interesting specimen or two:
"If you want the life that Is long, If you
wish to be healthy and strong, and happy
as you go along, then don't drink. This
dealing In alcohol from the babe to the bar.
and on to the gallows, begins with destruc-
tion, tends to destruction, and ends in des-
tructlon. 1t ruins both customer and seller,
and while 1t may be q legalized trade, is
not a legitimate one. This is not trade; it
is swindle. Pharaoh's daughter took a lit.
tie prophet out of the waeer, the publican
takes a big profit out OF the beer. Alcohol
is certainly good for cleaning silver, es.
peeially out Of a w~orkingman's pocket. As
to the public management Of a public-house
for the public benefit, it is false. The only
way to reform the traf1lc is to manage to DC
without 1t. We want management to ex-
tinguish; they want management to perpe-
tuate. THERE'S nothing easier than to be.
lieve n lie, unless to tell one, and half the
truth is sometimes worse than a whole lie.
A liar may be reformed, but not a lie, I'M.
less you reform it of the face Of the earth,
Ihave no personal objection to the publi-
can. We are told to love our enemies, but
we are never told to like them. So, though
/ love the publican as a man, 1 may hate
him as a publican. Yet he claims compen-
sation. Zaccheus also believed in compen-
sation. Now, Zaccheus was a publican.
Blu it was the other way round. He called
it restitution. That shows a mighty differ
ence between Zaccheus and our modern
publican. That is not the only difference,
for, as you know, Zaccheus was really a
factor; he collected the taxes. Our publ
can is a malefactor; he creates the taxes,
The one lived off the taxation of the people;
the other makes his living off the intoxica-
ton of the people. Further, We read about
Zaecheus that he was a little man and
climbed a tree, and then made haste to
come down. But none Of these things are
true of our publican friends Of to-day.
They are big men, do not climb trees, and
If ever up u tree they don't CONF down In
n hurry. One distinction, more important,
| have forgot. Zaccheus, you remember,
could not get forward for the press; that Is
more and more unlike the publican Of our
time, for we see by every newspaper. that
instead OF not getting forward for the
press, why, it is the press nowadays, that
puts the publican forward"

The Caves OF Porto Rico.

1t is astonishing how little is known
about the geology OF the island OF
Porto Rico and the profound maniies-
tations which nature has there made
of her power in earth-making. At
Ponce, San Juan aud Cayez no n
knew OF caves in the land; the people
had all heard rumors OF mineral
wealth, but could not definitely state
the localities. Even at Caguas, six
miles away from a great tavern which
may develop into as much of a wonder
as our W Mammoth cave, few people
have ever heard Of it, aud NO one has
ever seen the interior Of its expansive
chambers. At Aguas Buenas, which
lies five miles to the westward from
Caguas, the people of the little village
were aware OF great holes IN the
mountains toward the south, but only
two negroes had ever explored them
and they only to a limited'eXtelt.
