The Contemporary Review has pub
tished a highly sensational article tend
ing to show that, just before the war
between the United States and Spain
broke out, the Emperor of Germany
had undertaken to unite the powers Of
Europe in a movement to cripple Great
Britain in her foreign fields. Accord
ing to the story, the Emperor drew up
a plan arranging for the naval superb
Ority of France, Russia and Germany
over Great Britain IN 1902, when it was
expected the latter would be compelled
10 make hunliating terms throughout
the world, leaving Germany the chief
commercial colonial power. The plan,
however, went astray because of the
war and It's unexpected results, partic-
alarly the evident drawing closer to-
gether of the United States and Great
Britain, and, it is asserted, American
and British statesmen conjointly bot
tied up" the Emperor on full knowl-
edge of his intentions. Whether or not
the story has any foundation In fact, it
Is certain that a number of surprising
movements by the European powers in
China and elsewhere were in full har-
mOny with it, and the changed atti-
tudes of France and Germany then and
since toward the United States might
be similarly explained.

1t required no table of statistics from
the Treasury Department to prove that
the year 1S9S was "the farmers year.
But the extent to which American
farms have furnished food for the
world can only be adequately appre-
ciated by reference to the compreheuS-
i've tables compiled by the statistical
experts of the Treasury. These tables
disclose the fact that the farm products
exported from the United States last
year were valued at the enormous sum
of $S5O,000,000, which is gain Of
Sl2O,OuO,OU0 over the exports of 1897.
and surprising by over 100000 600
that of the great export years of 1891
and 1892. OF breadstutfs alone the eX.
ports of the year were 500, 900, GOO
greater than those of 1897, while the
exports of cotton were also consider
ably in excess of those of 1897 and
1899. That the Europeans are begin
ming to appreciate the nutritiye value
of our corn is also indicated by the fact
that for the first time in our history the
exports passed the 200000.00 busheI
mark. Although we purchased nearly
one-third less of Great Britain in 1873
than we did in 1897, our sales of agrl-
cultural products to the United King
dom during the last year aggregated
S3Oo,OOO,00O, which was an increase of
more than SJ0,0O0,OO0 over 1897 Fifty
per cent. of our total exports of wheat
and hour went to the United Kingdom
Next in Importance as a foreign GUS
toner is Germany, which, in spite OF al
legged determinations against our prod
ucts, doubled her purchases of wheat
and flour as compared with 1897 and
increased her purchases of corn 20 per
cent. TO show that she had no preiu-
dice against the American hog she also
increased her purchases of our hams
100 per cent. and bought five times as
much of our fresh pork rs she did IN
1897 or 1896.

Prof. L. Il. Briggs, in talking about
Fathers, Mothers aud Freshmen" in

There is only one way in which the
danger of railroad collisions can be
reduced to minimum. and that Is by
adopting the block system on all lines.
When that system is in use it is i'm.
possible, unless there Is fragrant vio-
lation of the rules of the road, for two
trains to be on the same section OF
track at the same time. Some of the
best railroads in the country are now
operated under the positive block sys.
TEN, and passengers on those roads are
almost absolutely protected against iu-
jury or death in collisions, and the dan.
ger Of accidents of all kinds is reduced
to nothing. Common business prudence
ought 10 suggest to all railroad man
ayers the ACCESSIBILITY of affording the
greatest possible degree of safety 10
their patrons.
