THE merchants of Spokane show
warmer friendship for the railway cor
porations than they do for the great
grain growing country which they like
to speak of as tributary" to the falls
city. Possibly this friendship" is
brought about by certain inducements
which the railways offer; but whatever
this reason, Spokane has forfeited any
right she ever had to the trade of the
tributary" grain country. When Spo-
kane in her haste to bow to the will Of
the railways forgets that the grain pro-
'ducers are entitled to some measure of
Justice, it is time to forget that Spokane
is on the map of Eastern Washington.

In the PHILIPPINES.

While the war which we waged against
Spain last summer Was upon the broad
ground of humanity, the American peo-
pie at this time, finding Porto Rico and
the Philippine Islands ON their hands,
are justified in considering the relation
OF these islands to the commerce OF the
world. The cause of humanity or better
government for these new territories
need not thereby suffer in the least.
The United States is an exporting
nation, and there is nothing we need so
much as more and larger markets for
our products of all kinds. In order to
meet the demand for information rela-
tive to the commerce of the PHILIPPINES,
the Department of Agriculture will soon
issue bulletin on the trade OF these
newer possessions. Mr.. Frank H. Hitch.
cock, who prepared this document, has
made the most painstaking researches
OF official documents OF all countries
which relate to the commerce of this
group of islands, and the results are en-
bodied in the forthcoming bulletin.
1t appears that the value of the ex-
ports from the Philippines has been
gradually decreasing for many years,
but this condition is due to reduced
prices, rather than to reduced quantity
In 1897 the total value of the imports Of
the islands is given as being about 49,.
100000 in gold, while the exports were
about $2l 900, 000 but it 10 believed that
these estimates are too low. In 1893 81
per cent OF the trade (both import am
export amounting to somewhat less thar
$40 900, 000), was divided between Grea
Britain, China Including Hongkong
Spain and the United States. TIL,
United Kingdom's share, amounting I,
$l4,2o7 1892, was 1872 per cent of tn
total; China's, 1896; Spain's, l8.45, an,
that OF the United States lO.3S--nearl
$4,000 900 in all.
1t will no doubt be surprise to mos
people to learn that ne ALREADY have :
much OF . foothold there, and anothe
surprise il that SPANS trade il =
small, being only about 90, 900 900 NOR

however, that most OF spain's trade
made up of exports 10 the Philippine

ports. The imports from the United
States in 1893 amounted to $3.50, 7o6, and
the exports to the United States amount
ed to $2.094 1897. The total imports
from all countries for the same year
amounted to $l5, 800 SOP and the exports
to $22 1873, 223.
The Philippine imports consist chiefly
OF manufactured articles, and cotton
goods - the most important item Of
these. In 1894 the imports Of cotton
goods amounted to s5,877, 1873, and the
imports were about the same as the pre-
vious year. This is trade which can
surely be greatly increased and one
which ought to become of material ben
eft to the cotton raisers and cotton man
ufacturers OF this country.
The interest which the agricultural
lists OF this country have in the islands
may he based upon the following tabular
statement, which includes imports from
countries for the year 1894:
Wheat flour. Observation-Disclosures. 467 1914
Canned goods, s2usages, etc. 80. 1913 ,359
Distilled spirituous liquors 80. 1882
Fork, bacon and lard ......... 127 1865
Vegetables. .................... lis, POO
Fruits Observation-Disclosures. 40,170
Butter and cheese. ............ 43,338
1t is of interest that, next to cotton
manufactures, kerosene oil is the prin-
cipal item of import, the amount for
1894 being s703,445. This came from
the United States chiefly. The imports
cover almost all items common to COM
merce.
The exports from the Philippines con.
sist very largely of agricultural products
Manila hemp and sugar, the leading
staples OF the islands, are the principal
factors in the trade, their combined
value amounting to more than 70 per
cent OF the total export valuation. After
these the most important articles are
copra, leaf tobacco and cigars and cigar
cites. In 1894 these five items comprised
fully IS per cent of the value of the ex-
port trade. Cote is usually a leading
article OF export, but of late years the
ravages OF an insect have greatly dam
aged the coffee trees.
Spain exported to the Philippines dur
ing the year 1896 agricultural products
amounting to $500, POI, and non agricul-
tural products amounting to $6,6l1, l72.
OF the latter, $3,474,S42 WAS for cotton
fabrics. All this trade should now be
reserved to the United States. Ne
should no longer be content with our ex-
ports at s94, 597, as they stood in 1897,
while our imports from the islands for
the same year were $4,5sS,740. So fsr
the United Kingdom and Spain have
practically held a monopoly in the Phil.
ippine trade. Nothing is needed there
that America cannot furnish.

BANNER PENSION STATE.
Indiana Leads in This,and for Most
Creditable Reason.

From the Chicago Record.
Indiana takes the lead as a pension
state The annual statement of the
pension department has just been is
sued. In round numbers, the states
drawing the highest pensions are Ohio.
with $4,000, 900; Pennsylvania, ST.. 900
900; New York, S12,OOO.O 900; Indiana. $40
100000, and Illinois, $4,000, 900. Indiana
has $1,000 pensioners, who draw an av-
erage pension of a fraction over S1G0
per annum. In the list Indiana has 2g5
veterans of the Civil War who are
drawing the limit of $72 a month. and
seventy veterans of the Civil and one
of the Mexican War who are drawing
$50 a month. In number of pensioners
and number of high pensioners in the
average for all in the state, Indiana
leads any other state in the Union by
a broad margin. Indiana, with a popu-
lation of 10000 less than that of Massa-
chusetts, by the census of 1890. re-
ceives in pensions $10,443, 900 annually,
while Massachusetts, gets but $5,42O, 900.
Similar comparisons will show that
Indiana is the greatest pension state
according to her population.
Commissioner Evans has analyzed
the pension appointment by congress
sion districts, and that makes very
fair basis of comparison. On this basis
Indiana shows clear lead, while Kan
sas comes in good second. The In
diana pensions run SSO3OOO per district:
Kansas $775,0OO Among the states at
the front are Missouri, with S44S 900;
New Jersey, with $312,OOO, and New
York, with s352OOO per district. Massa-
chusetts averages $4,000 per district.
The average pensions in the five lead
ing states are $3.50 in Ohio. $126 in Penn
sylvania $142 in New York. $l6O in In
diana, and STAG in Illinois. Though
there is a difference of $1i average be-
tween Indiana and Illinois, there are
over 5000 more pensioners in that
state. The difference in average, how
ever, gives Indiana pensioners $50, 900
more per annum Though Ohio ranks
first as pension state, still, like Him
ois, on a basis of population and PEN
sioners, it ranks below Indiana.
Indiana was one of the states putting
the largest number of men into the
field. Among the states of the Union
it stood flfth with New York. Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio and Illinois leading, with
Massachusetts and Missouri following.
1t put 100000 men into the field, and in
partial explanation of the great num-
her of heavy pensioners, it can be said
that no other state in the Union spilled
so much blood. and participated in as
many bloody engagements. Indiana's
war history is written in letters of
crimson on the soil of seventeen states.

"A Study in Scarlet"

A Conan Doyle In his novel "A Study
in Scarlet" describes Sherlock Holmes
as follows: His very person and ap-
pearanCe We're such as to attract the
attention of the most casual observer
In height he was rather over six feet
and so excessively lean that he seemed
to be considerably taller, his eyes were
sharp and piercing and his thin hawk
like nose gave his whole expression an
air of alertness and decision. His chin,
too, had the prominence and square
ness which marked the man Of deter
mination, his hands We're possessed OF
extraordinary delicacy of touch. "Sher-
lock Holmes in Charles Frohman's
production of the play by that name
will be impersonated by William Gill

amongst thousand to impersonate the
great detective. The play is in four
acts and was written by William Gill
lette in Connection with a A. Conan
Doyle, Sherlock Holmes comes to tho
Lyceum theatre this and tomorrow
evenings.
The Rochester Herald in it's review
of the production Of Sherlock Holmes"
in that city said
Probably the Lyceum never held
more intensely interested audience
than the one which last evening wit
messed the performance of Sherlock
Holmes" by William Gillette and
Charles Frohmans admirable company.
If Conan DOyle's famous creation be
a fascinating character in the printed
page, the great detective becomes
doubly so when invested with Mr.. Gil
lette's striking personality upon the
stage. From the moment that the
butler answers the bell at the Lar
rabee's and announces that the person
outside is Sherlock Holmes until the
last word has been spoken i'm the ex-
ceedingly pretty love scene that closes
the play, the interest in the leading
character is keyed to a high pitch and
sustained without a break"
