Senator Perkins on Asiatic Trade.

Senator George c. Perkins has contribu-
ted to a recent number Of the "Independ-
ent', an article on THE Open Door as
Seen From the Pacific Coast" which pre-
sents some interesting facts in regard to
the growth of our commerce with the
Far East. While the Senator has much to
say as to the peculiar advantages of Cali
fornia, the increasing demand in the Ori
ent for American goods, which is the key
note of his monograph, furnishes encour
agement to the agricultural and Industrial
interests of the whole country. He points
out that China has already taken our Pc
troleum and our cotton, (which makes the
open door interesting TO Pennsylvania, to
Massachusetts, and to the whole South"
and now the Chinese are beginning to ask
for American breadstuffs. The total ex
ports from the Pacific Coast doubled in
ten years, the greater portion of the COM
modities being wheat, which shows an in
crease of more than fifteen millions dur
ing the decade ending with 1898. 1t is
not contended that the entire amount went
to Asia, but a very definite idea Of the
growing ponularitY of American products

An Example of Boer ChivnIry.

(Fr0m the ran Mail baLeltej
A private letter from an officer at the front

Boer commander. 1t appears that during the
fatal charge at Magersfontein a party of two
officers and twelve men rushed, with sublime
heroism. I'D to the muzzles OF the rifles in the
Boer trenches So impressed were the Beers by
this extraordinary gallantry that, moved by a
common impulse, they cast their own weapons
aside and coming out OF their trenches in over
vhelming numbers, seized the valOrOus fourteen
and dragged them into the works. Then. after
causing them to be dsarmed, the Boer commander
exclaimed: There! You are free to go. We

There was a bit of fence opposite Rowley's

There was fun for the clerks for while watch

the barbed wire. drew himself up and sat down

Punctuation Marks.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.) }

(FTO1l FIIt bIUOhIEH IagIt-J
There has been talk about punctuation in
meeting OF the school teachers, lately There
are no rules OF punctuation. The best punctua
tion is that which the author himself makes to
bring out his meaning. If teachers will tell
scholars the purposes of commas, colons. semi
coIone neriods exclamation points, nterroga
tion points. dashes. parentheses. brackets. and
the like, that will suffice. Scholars can then use
them at will, intelligently and by temperament
so to speak. Women write the most charming
Letters in the world. but they know more
about punctuation than birds do about the chro-
matte scale.

Are we to understand from the remarks
of Mr.. Grosvenor, of Ohio. in Congress, that
the present attitude of the Administration
is regret that we ever took the Philippines,
and of resentment against Admiral Dewey
for his performance of that feat for our ac
count? Mr.. Grosvenor is kind enough to
speak of the great naval commander as "a
gentleman who went out into the Orient
with a little more power than he had au-
thority,'' the consequence being that the
first thing we knew he had captured the
Lord knows how many islands out there"
What can such talk mean? Is the Admin
istration about TO turn itself inside out
and. discovering that expansion involves
destruction to the trust and monopoly tar
iff system, become violently anti-imperial-
istic: We have long since lost the ability
to be surprised at anything; hence, it

tion offered to Edward Atkinson.
