AS far as the book is genealogical, it
is curious rs showing how deeply and
widely one family has taken root and
thrown out tcidrils to other genealog-
ical trees, its members treading diverse
paths, but all Keeping up the family
traditions and many of the family
traits.
This part is too intermixed for us
to enter into profitably in short space.
Little items here and there are, how
ever, Incidental and characteristic
The will of Allen Bowie, gentleman
of Prince Georges county, State of
Maryland, of sound mind, but in low
and languid state of body affords
some quaint touches of the times.
To one son, Fielder, he bequeaths
all debts between him and myself,
from the bcginniny Of the ,rorld until
nor;' to another son my running
horse "Buckskin," mourning rings to
various friends, and the negroes were
divided among the children. The
witnesses were nearly all men who be
came distinguished. They were his
son-in-law, John Smith Brooke, an Off
Ger of the Revolution; Dr. VIM. Beans,
his nephew known from his connection
with Key and "The Star-Spangled
Banner Benjamin Contee, officer of
the patriot army, member of Congress
and distinguished Episcopal divine;

Many peculiar Maryland names of
places are met with here. Some day
a monograph of interest will be writ
ten on this subject. We find Malta
poni, Blue Fields, Half Pone, Cray
croft's Right, The woodward. The De-
linght of the Darnalls and other titles.
Through all run the race-horses.
Fielder Bowie, who lived at "Half,
Pone,' was one of the many who were
devoted to fox-huuting, rode like
Centaur and daringly followed the
hounds in Southern Maryland. "On
one occasion, when over sixty years of
age, he was known to approach fence
in full career, and as his horse was in
the act of rearing snatch up the top
rail from five-ioot fence, leap his
hunter over, and with backward
swing of his arm replace the rail in its
original position, exclaming as he did
so: Now, some of you young men do

THE "ANTIS" AND THE VISAYANS.

The "anti-mpcrialist" policy. as expressed ny
the Hon Carl Schurz in his elaborate address at
Chicago yesterday, is that we shall at once stop
trying 70 suppress the Tagal rebellion; shall
recognize Aguinaldo as President Of the Philip
mines. shall lend our good offices for bringing all
the tribes under his rule. and shall continue to
prevent any outside interference In the nnairs OF
the islands.
Opportunely-or inOpportnnely. as Mr.. Schurz
NAV think-an answer 10 that proposal was
given in yesterdays dispatches from Manila,
unfinished some hours before the delivery of MIR.
Schurz's address II was to the effect that the
Visavans who are nj least as numerous ana as
respectable as the Tagals. are on the point or
revolt against the domination OF the 1agais' that
the Tagals are preparing to suppress the VISA
vans by force Of arms. and that large Dody OF
Toqals has invaded the island Of Ne9ros to aid
a gang Of bandits in terrorizing and thus keep
tho undor the inhabitants who are friendly to the
Americans

those lines OF goods In which we come most
directly into competition with the estaplisheu
Industries Of the Old World. and In when sue
ccssful competition has hitherto been deemed all
but impossible. In eight months. FOR example,
there was an increase Of $15.OOO.O0O in exports
of manufactures OF iron and steel. That means
bridges and railroads and machinery in Africa
and India and Australia and Siberia. all from
American workshops in successful competition
with the rolling mills and machine shops OF
Great Britain and Germany. 1t means that'
having built four or five transcontinental rail-
roads in our own land, we are now FURNISHING
bridges and rails and engines for the CANADIAN
Pacific, and for Russias trans Siberian line. ana
for Great Britans stupendous Cape 10 caro-
line Similarly there was In the same perlod al
increase Of more than S2.OOO.OOO In copper near
" S3OOOOOO in leather nearly $4,oV'oVo III
wood. nearly S4.OOO.OOO In agricultural imple-
ments more than 81 100000 In boots ana Shoes
and so on through long and varied catalogue
These figures mean American food for the
neonle Of the world. American clothing for their
backs American railroads to open up their
lands. American implements to cultivate ther
fields. American fertilizers to make their SOIL
productive American tools in their workshops
and instruments in their scientlhc lapora'ories'
American chemicals in their arts-in prlei'
American supplies for all their wants. IL Is
splendid vindication Of the American system or
Protection to domestic Industries under when
our varied arts have been developed and we
have become not only an agricultural hut An IN
dustrial and n commercial national nation OF
mechanics and engineers able not only to sup
rlv all our own wants within ourselves hut to
compete successfully in supplying the wants OF
other nations which had the start OF us In most
things That our broad and virgin prairies
should surpass the narrow and worn helds OF
Europe in producing the great agricui'nrhi
staples Is not surprising. but that our workshops
and laboratories should in equal measure sur
mass those Of Europe. which were well estab-
lished ages before ours were founded, Is one OF
the highest possible tributes to the genius OF the
American people.

Mr.. BRYAES TACTICS.

Americans rarely try to vote on several queS-
tons at once. Their success in self-gOvernment
thus far Is largely due TO the practical temper
which seeks In every contest the real Ques-
ton which will In fact be most important
in the voting. Party platforms are as often
framed TO dodge to define the real Issue.
What the people are really thinking about and
wanting to decide Is the turning point which
practical men seek. and by judging well or i'll
they determine their success or failure. When
there is not a Congress to be chosen. as there
is not this year. practical Americans rarely CON
centrate their thoughts and efforts on the Ques-
tons which can only be decided by the action
Of Congress. such as the tariff question. but at
such times they are likely to say word to
the Administration. upholding or defending Its
course.
II Mr.. Bryan were little better qualified by
nractjcal sense to be leader Of men he would
realize that the people are not going to vote
this wear with chief regard to the silver Ques-
ton. when the only Congress which can do any
thing about II for eighteen months or two years
70 come has already been chosen. II he is cleo
tioncering for himself ceaseless prattle about
silver NAV help TO make him a candidate. but
no sbould be able to see that 1t will not do much
10 carry disputed States this year His labo-
rious effort to push forward by legislative action
or constitutional amendment the extrpation or
"trusts" has the same stamp OF unreality and
insncerity Action by Congress already
chosen will not be much affected by rivalry Of
leading men on both sides in denouncing monop-
olies without definite effort to show what Is a
monopoly or how 1t can be cured.
The historic aptitude Of the Democrats for
choosing the unpatriotic and unpopular side has
placed Mr.. Bryan where he will be rcckoned
against the President and the flag and in favor
of Acuinaldo and the insurgents. He Is vast
ing much time and ingenuity In trying to ex-
cite hostility to the course Of the Government
without hatly declaring against maintaining its
authority, but the common sense OF the plain
people makes the position an impossible one.
Men as shrewd as Vallandigham. Of Ohio. dis
covered during the Civil War that 1t was far
beyond their power to denounce the Govern
ment for wagng "a wicked war against re-
bellion" and yet to make people believe IN their
LOYALTY of purpose. But because this Is the one
question on which the Administration can act
and In fact must act for months to come with
ont direction or interposition by Congress. and

of the people long to have settled with the least
possible delay. 1t is likely to be that which Will

COMMERCIAL EXPANSION.

Commerce appears to be the topic OF the day.
In all parts Of the land men are considering
WAYS and means for It's promotion as never be-
fore. The last week has seen several note
worthy gatherings devoted chiefly or exclusively
N II The Commercial Congress at the National
Export Exhibition at Philadelphia engaged the
interested participation of delegates from many
foreign and distant countries An important
meeting at Utica was busted with the welfare OF
commerce In this State, which In turn involves
largely the commercial welfare OF the Nation.
Al the same time the Southern Industrial Con-
yenton at Huntsville. Ala. was concerned with
commercial topics more than with any other.
Commerce. we repeat. seems to be the topic OF
the day. Nor indeed would It be easy to find
one more fitting. To a far greater extent than
most people commonly think It Is true that 1.-THE
lifeblood OF a nation is In its commerce. All in
terests are dependent upon 1t. The farmer. the
miner, the manufacturer, the industrialist OF
every class finds his profits in the exchange and
sale Of commodities. and. in increasing measure
in such traffic with foreign lands There is no
one who can afford to look with indifference
upon the export trade Of the Nation.
1t Is happy coincidence. of encouraging
omen. that simultaneously with these conven-
lions and discussions there comes from WASH
ington the announcement that the volume of our
exports has this year been thus far so large as
to warrant the confident expectation that the
total for the year will sIrpass that OF any former
YEAR In the history Of the Nation. That would
IN any case be gratifying. 1t is especially so at
this time. because there is this year no excep-
tional and adventurous cause for II, and 1t is
therefore to be attributed to the operation OF
general principles and to be regarded as indi-
eating n healthful and permanent growth. Last
year we made phenomenal exports Of wheat and
other agricultural products at unusually high
prices That because Of an exceptional
shortage Of crops abroad. 1t was not to be ex-
pccted that an equal record would be made this
year and II the falling of In such exports had
caused a slight decrease, or at any rate no in
crease, In the whole volume there would have
been no cause for surprise. The fact is, how
ever. that the increase In other lines Of goods
has been 40 great as to overcome the falling of
in grain, and TO make. as now seems assured. a
total of exports exceeding by many millions OF
dollars that Of last year. which was the great
