Most Of the corn exported from tAs
United States goes to Europe. and IL
popularity seems to be gaining there
To the United Kingdom, the EXPORT
OF corn In the ten months endirt
with October were In 1899. 6s.s33. .sut
bushels, against 61.939.167 bushels IN
1898; to Germany. 35.s04.10e bushels
In the ten months OF 1899. against s4.'
1856, 1881 In the ten months Of 1898; and
27,472.3 1888 bushels in the ten months
OF 1897; to France the exports In 1s9i
were slightly less than those of 1895
or 1897. by reason Of the unusually
large grain crop In that country, while
to other European countries the sx-
ports of the ten months of 1899 wore
q, sos, ,44s bushels, against 8e,211. 1856 II
1898, and 3c,S86.SSS in the correspond,
Ing months Of 1897. This steady In
crease in the exports of corn to Eu'
ropean countries, and especially tht
increase in 1899 over preceding years
is the more remarkable because Of tht
fact that the general supply Of bread
stuffs in Europe In the present yeas IL
vastly In excess OF the preceding yeai
when the supply was unusually short
and the fact that the demand for corr
continues in the face OF an increased

1t Is reported that the anti-imperial-
list Democrats will attempt to defeat
ratification Of the Samoan treaty, on
the ground that the natives have not
been consulted. Consulting natives" Is
an entirely new and remarkably gauxy
doctrine. II we are not much mistaken
the Swamp Indians OF Florida were not
polled to see whether or not they were
willing TO let us take that territory over
from Spain, and we do not think that
the cessions Of California, New Mexico
and Arizona were brought about by
popular elections held by the Mexican
and Indian denizens, under the Decla-
ration OF Independence. 1t really seems
as If there were individuals in public
life. Of alleged Democratic affiliations,

not get another term without difficulty

QUIZ PHILlpprNE POLICY.

Several resolutions are now before
the United States Senate In regard to
the Philippine islands. There are Mr..
Hoars resolutions, which attempt to
formulate a general policy applicable
to all times and places forever; there Is
the resolution which proposes to give
up the islands to Aguinaldo. on pay
ment Of the S2O000.O00 we paid to
Spain, and to guarantee that he shall
retain peaceable possession for twenty
years, against all attempts on the part
of any other power to put him out; and
there is the little resolution Of Senator
Beveridge of Indiana, which is so short
that 1t can be given in full:
"That the Philippine islands are ter
ritory belonging to the United States;
that 1t is the intention OF the United
States to retain them as such, and to
establish and maintain such govern
ment control throughout the archipe-
lago as the situation may demand"
Mr.. Honr, like his Democratic allies
in the anti-expansion business, wants
to cross all the bridges before he even
comes in sight OF them. Mr.. Bryan In
sists that we must either let the Fill
pinos into the Union as citizens Of the
United States, entitled to vote for pres
ident, or govern them as slaves, and in
sists that the ultimate disposition Of
our new possessions must be made at
once. Every one who has studied his
tory knows that that IL not the way
political problems have been solved in
the past, and that 1t is not In accord
with the sensible Anglo-Saxon way Of
doing things. The Angio-Saxon way is
TO meet emergencies as they arise--to
do "the next thing" In the best way
possible. The French have tried the
other way. attempting to theorize for
the future as well as to meet the pres
ent. The relative success Of the two
methods is well illustrated In the his
tory Of France and the histories of
England and the United States.
Senator Beveridge's resolution is con-
ceived In the historic spirit of the
race; Senator Hoars is conceived In
the French spirit. The Beveridge reso-
luton should be passed, II for no other
reason than that II will be an announce
ment to the Filipinos and to all the
world that we propose to hold the
islands. That II we hold them we shall
give to them the best government we
can, and as great a measure Of self
government AS they are capable Of. is
matter of course. which needs the
statement of no details.
Let us cross the bridges as we come
to them; let us meet the emergencies
as they arise. We have enough faith
In the American people TO believe that
they will be met in the future, as they
are now, In the right spirit. and that
the islands win be held not only or
mainly for our own profit. but in the
interests Of civilization and Christian
ity

What a terrible Indictment Of the
ant-imperialistsl And yet we know
1t is true. Not only General Lawton,
but General Wheeler. General MacAr-
thur and General Funston have ex-
pressed the conviction that the insur-
rection would have ended long ago had
1t not been for the hope aroused in
Aguinaldo and his fellow-leaders by
the rabid school of anti-imperialism.
Though the brave General Lawton be
dead, his gallant deeds will ever live

End Good coal In Cuba

Santiago, Jan. 15.-It is believed
here that the problem of utilizing the
vast resources of the island in iron and
manganese has been solved by the re-
cent discovery of extensive deposits
OF coal in the Mayari district. near
Nipi bay. Tests of several tons taken
from the outcroppings and brought
here for experiment show that the coal
Is of very high grade, resembling fine
camel coal.
Mining men are surprised and de-
lighted. Little search for coal has
been made owing to the belief of the
government biologists that deposits of
coal were not likely TO be found In the
island.
Already a company is being organ
ized to begin mining operations. with n
view afterward of establishing smelt-
ing works. II the coal supply warrants
1t. According to several mining man.
ayers who are Interested in 1t. the find.
ing Of sufficient coal supply would
mean an Immediate rise In the value
OF all Cuban mining properties.
