the nine months ending with March exports OF
agricultural products were Sls,00O,0O0 greater
than those Of the same months in the preced-
ing fiscal year, products Of the mine exceeded
those of the corresponding months Of 1899 by
80 per cent, those of the forest showed like
increase, and fisheries and miscellaneous also
showed a gain the corresponding months
of the preceding fiscal year. and with the phe-
nomenal increase Of 100000 in April, 1900 as
compared with April 1890, it is quite apparent
that the record of the year which ends less
than 60 days hence will exceed that of any
earlier year in our history.
The following table shows the value Of the
exports in April of each year from 1890 to 1900:

NN official goes wrong the
country is naturally as
founded. The pecula-
tion of a subordinate postal official in
Cuba was at once magnitled and dis
torted to the disCredit and shame of
the administration. AS rule Repub-
lican officials are honest. 1t is the eX-
ception when they turn out to be
thieves.
1t has been vaguely suggested that
somebody in Washington is RESPONSE
BILE for the postal frauds in Cuba. The
insinuations, it is we'll understood,
point to the post office department.
There has been no open charge to this
effect. There has been no plain inti-
nation in that direction but political
desperation, indicated in buncombe
Democratic resolutions in both
branches of congress, suggests the
possible hope that the administration
may be made directly responsible,
through some shortcomng in the ad-
ministration of the post office depart
ment. AS yet this is only a surmise.
But the postmaster general has ac-
cepted the challenge, and when he gets
through with the investigation the
country will agree with The Tribune
that he is not only the most available
man in the Republican party for the
vice-presidential nomination this year,
but that his nomination will be a GER
tificate of character to the presidential
ticket.
People who doubt that Postmaster
General Smith will go to the bottom of
the rascality in the Cuban postal
frauds, or that when the guilt of the
rascals is fixed he will hesitate to pun
ish to the full extent of the law, don't
know the man.

These figures represent hundreds of millions
Of dollars Under the Mckinley tariff, in Pres
ident Iiarrisons administration, the average
volume of business transacted in the United
States was almost sixty billions of dollars a
year. During President Clcveand's admnstra-
tion it averaged nine billions year less. In
other words there was three million dollars less
business transacted every business day of the
year. Under the Dingcy tariff and the admin
istration Of President Mckinley the average vol
ume of business was twcnty-three billions
year more than in the preceding Democratic
administration of President Cleveland. In other
words there has been over seven million dol
lars worth more business transacted every day
during President Mcknlcy's term than there
was under President Cleveland. Moral: Vote for
a continuation of the Republican admnstra-
uon with a protective tariff.

The Last Rites.

The services over the remains of
the late j. s. Whitman were held in
this city Tuesday morning and were
under the auspices of Oskaloosa Camp
Modern Woodmen. The prayer and
sermon were given at the house by
Rev. Mcknight of the Christian
church, after which the remains were
taken to the Rock Island depot and
sent on the morning train to Des
Moines for burial. The funeral there
takes place on Wednesday. Eighty
members of the lodge attended in a
body. Thirty members of the Royal
Neighbors, and his Sunday school
class of twenty young ladies also ac-
companied the cortege to the depot.
Mrs. B. w. Johnson went with the
family to Des Moines. The honors
thus shown were fitting tribute to
a good man and loyal Woodman.

Monday night the deceased's son, G..

was a large gathering of young pc O.
pie, which produced inflammation Of
the bowels, which soon destroyed his
life. The funeral was conducted on
Thursday at one O'Clock at the Union
church by Rev. Tysse in the Holland
language and Rev. Baumgartel in
English. A very large crowd of
sympathiZing friends were present to
pay the last tribute of respect to the
departed. Interment was at Black
Oak cemetary. Miss Gysje Van De-
haar also contracted the measles at
the same place and they affected her
the same way and she died at seven
O'Clock In the evening of the same
day that Willie died. The funeral
services were conducted at the same
place at 10 O'Clock by Rev. Douster
of Pella and the interment was at the
same place. There were also a great
number of people present who sym
pathize very greatly with the remain
ing children. This family has been
very sorely afflicted by deaths dur
ing the last year. In the first place
the mother was taken away several
years ago, and last summer a daugh-
ter, a young lady, died and the first
of the winter the father was called,
and now Gysja, and now some of the
younger children are having it. One
day last week a young man by the
name of Nolan died of the same dis
ease, contracted at the same place.
1t is said that about 30 got the dis
ease at that wedding.

TETER FEARLESS.
An Incident of War Times Told
by Hon. Sam Clark.

Keokuk Gate-City: At the outset
of the war for the union Rev. Teter
was back in his old home in Vir-
ginia when a great rebel meeting was
held The rampant secessionism
that carried Virginia into the con-
federacy voiced itself through tu-
multuous meeting and strenuous
day. The tide was all running rebel
ward. At last Teter walked to the
stand unannounced and unattended
and made an intensely union speech.
The crowd fell into a great rage.
There were shouts of hang him lynch
him, and his hearers were wild with
fury. One local politician, counting
local favor, was especially jealous
and started towards the speakers
stand, as if to lead the violence to be
done on Mr.. Teter. But Teter was a
Virginian and knew his man. He
waited until the politician stood a
few feet from him and then turned
upon him torrent of invective which
every person in the community knew
to be true of him. Teter went on
in something like this fashion: "Jim
B., know you; you propose to lynch
me who was born and. raised here.
You are trying to become leader of
these good and honest people whom
l have known since my boyhood.
You are scoundrel and you know it.
You are such a scoundrel that your
wife can't live with you, and she has
applied for divorce. You are a
thief, you stole the Widow M. Is hogs.
You are the meanest man in this
community. You are a coward as
we'll as thief, and if you come with
in reach of me I'll break your neck. "
By that time the crowd had forgot
all about political matters, or seces
sion, and was roaring with delight at
the hiding Jim B. was getting, and
which they knew to be deserved. A
few cool and prudent men took ad-
vantage of the diversion to hurry Mr..
Teter away and into safety before the
reaction could set in and public senti-
ment rekindle against Mr.. Teter. We
do not give the exact facts but merely
such a general outline of them as re-
mains in my memory.

round the caskat of the silent sleeper

The scene was truly pathetic. The

The funeral was conducted by the

sermon were touching and eloquent,
after which the village choir sang
feelingly the consoling and peaceful
words and song, "At Rest" The
casket was covered with flowers in
almost endless profusion. The face
of the departed mother wore the as
pect of rest, rather than death. The
afflicted family and relatives and near
friends followed the remains over

snow, white and pure, emblematical
of the character and life of the lovely
