A Stumbling Block to Anti-Ex pam
siOnists.
From tho phil1depbia Times

Consular statistics concerning commerce
of the Philippines are certainly stumbling
block in the path of the anti-eXpansionists
so far as those industrious agitators con-
descend to use any arguments involved
with material welfare and national wealth
Here is the consul at Manila, for in
stance, who says that one-tenth of the
Island of LuZon-all that is now under cul-
tivation-produces SO, 900 600 a year, and
that with better cultivation and proper
care this may be increased to twenty times
as much. The total average imports of the
Philippine Islands for the ten years ending
in 1895 were 81, ,039044, and the average
exports for the same period were over
twenty million dollars year. OF this the
United States never took more than $12,-
soc, 900, but all of that was under Spanish
rule.
1t may be assumed that from this time
forth the development will be rapid, and in
a decade or less under American enterprise
the Bay of Manila will rival as mart the
port of Hong Kong.

An Opportunity Stupidiy Thrown
Away.
From no nndnn Chronicle


As the queen made Lady Herschell the
offer of sending an English man-o'-war to
bring home Lord Herschell's body, it was
perhaps inevitable that it should be ac-
ceEted. But we cannot help reSretting that
her majcsty's advisers should have pro
posed the offer at all. The United States
government had set apart one of their
ships for the purpose. The cruiser Brook
lyn was actually ready at Havana. Her
fires were up to start at a moments notice.
Nothing could have been more courteous
than Americas proposal, and we feel sure
that the courtesy would have been heartily
recognized in this country. Lord Herschell
died whilst on a special mission TO
strengthen the existing harmony between
the two nations, and it was kindly
thought to send home his remains under
the protection of the American flag. 1t is
that sort of thing which draws people to-
gether far more truly than common inter-
ests. But with stupidity We have thrown
away this occasion of kindness. AS ma
ton we have little sense of politeness, and
yet we wonder why We are dtsliked round

From the Chicago Tribune.
Marconfs wireless telegraphy system
gave signally successful illustration of its
practical use when the sailing ship Elbe
went ashore on the Goodwin sands in the
fog. By means of this application the crew
telegraphed to South Foreland light house
and as result tugs and lifeboats were
promptly sent to the ships assistance. AS
we near the new century new wonders are
coming in sight. The nineteenth century
has been pre-eminently an era of invention
but there are probably still more things
in heaven and earth than even poets and
inventors and philosophers dream of.

Artificial Value of Silver.

The silver question in Cuba is almost as
complicated as it once was in the United
States. Anybody who undertakes to study
it out in its relation to gold and the pro-
cesses of international finances is apt to go
crazy. All that needs to be said for a sur
face understanding of the conditions is that
Spanish silver also had an artificial value.
and that its value was regulated by wha t
happened in Spain. The best financial opin-
ion now is that with the influx of American
money Spanish silver will gradually 6lisap-
pear from circulation or will be measured
by its bullion value and occupy place rel
atively the same as the Mexican silver dol
lar.

terS of mathematics, and it was said
you could never put question to him
for which he would not have an an
swer at his tongues end. On one oc-
casion two travelling men were discuss
ing his case, and one bet the other ne
could not spring question on Rube
which would puzzle him for an answer.
The first time he met Rube he said IN
an abrupt manner "Rube. If an Indian
should come along and cut off the top
of your head and take your brains
away, what would you do?"
Quick as fash Rube replied, 60

At length she met the real man and

lost their significance. At first she de-
termined to burn them; then she
thought she would give them to him,
