CONDITIONS in the Philippines
are very gratifying-to tho Yankee
carpetbaggers.

ACCORDING to statistics there
has been very heavy export OF
wheat within the last few days.
In one day last week the clear
ances for foreign ports was l,753,-
500 bushels, and during the. past
four weeks $4,000, 1000 bushels were
exported to foreign parts. The
deficit in the European wheat crop
this year will be 68:00O,0OO
bushels, while the American wheat
crop will reach about 675,000,W0
bushels. If the United States
has to supply this 268,0OO,0OO
deficit, it will mean average ex-
ports daring the year of over s.
100000 bushels, which will just
about absorb all our supplies.
This being the case We need not
look for unusual high prices this
fall. ..@ s..yS 8.

The Sohley Investigation con-

The Sohley Investigation con-
tinues to furnish interesting
specialties. The latest is the
question whether Admiral How
ison was guilty of too much talk.
A newspaper reporter stated that
he expressed himself on the glory
question of the Santiago battle.
The department accordingly was
asked to request an admission or
a denial Of the rumor but it refus-
ed to act in the premises, Admiral
Howison having stated when invit-
ed to sit Oh the board of inquiry,
that he had not expressed himself
and knew no reason why he
should not act. AS the question
of glory will not be Investigated
OIL cially, we can see no reason
why Howison should be question
ed On that score.

DIVORCE FOR INSANITY.

Several states have made in.
sanity, when existing prior to a
marriage, a cause for divorce. In
only four states is insanity.
originating after marriage, a cause
for divorce. Although a mar
riage is practically dissolved when
one of the partners is inchrably
insane, yet public sentiment, while
recognizing the unhappy situation
of the sane partner, has been
averse to granting relief. The
feeling has been that the marriage
contract should net be dissolved
because of the misfortune-not
the fault-of one Of the parties.
fhe four states in question are
Washington, North Dakota, Idaho
and Florida. The last mentioned
state passed it's law early this year
and did SO for the special benefit
of one man. It was a singular
case of personal legislation. It
illustrates what great wealth can
do for its possessor. An aged
New York millionaire who has
large business interests in Florida
had a wife who had been insane
for years. There is absolutely no
hope of her recovery. This
millionaire wished to get a divorce.
He could not do SO in New York.
Apparently he did not wish to go
to one Of the remote western states
which have been mentioned.
Last year he acquired legal
residence in Florida. In May of
this year the legislature enacted a
divorce law which it hardly would
have enacted if scores of common,
everyday citizens had asked for it.
The law having taken effect this
millionaire applied and got his
divorce. The woman who was his
wife suffered no wrong and would
not know it if she had, for her
mind is clear gone. Nobody has
been injured by the dissolution of
"a marriag, which united the hus.
band TO Il wife who had been dead
to him for So many years. Never

presented in the United States
Steel Company there may be
found and idea we'll worthy

seem that the successful opera
ton of a plan enabling
workingmen to become stock
holders in the corporations by
which they are employed, obtain
ing their stock on specially favor
able terms, would be good thing
for both employer and employed.
The companies could we'll afford
to make every possible concession
to workingmen in facilitating the
latter's purchase of stock. Their
gain in faithful attention to and
interest in the business would
more than repay them. The

tendency is in the right direction.
When labor and capital both share
equitably in the returns on labor

SOME sections Of North Dakota
are being devoted very largely to
flax growing. Wheat, which
formerly was the standby staple,
seems to be going out of fashion
before the good yields and better
prices for fax. An. experienced
grower of grain and flax in North
Dakota says that the average cost
of producing and marketing the
wheat on an acre is about SIS. 25.
A yield of twelve bushels at rs
cents per bushel gives return of
$50 per acre. The straw is held in
80 little esteem that it IL usually
burned. The same authority says
the average cost of producing an
acre of fax will not exceed 1925
per acre. With an average yield
of ten bushels per acre at sl.50
per bushel there is an annual
profit of nearly SIC per acre aside
from the straw which is valuable.
Many instances are given where
last year the yield Of lax per acre
was over 20 bushels, sometimes
going as high as rs to 81. This,
of course, is unusual, as is the
very high price obtained, $l.50 to
S2.75 per bushel. Still, by care
full rotating, flax can be grown
with profit, and generally is an
excellent money-gstter. But woe
to the man who thinks he can
raise flax year after year on the
same grouud.-Dako.a Farmer.

CHEAP FREIGHT RATES.

President Hill, Of the Great
Northern railway, in an interview
in New York, outlines his plan of
reducing the cost of transporta-
ton to the Orient by means Of the
huge steamers he is having built
to ply between our Pacific ports
and the ports of Asia. The size
of the vessels NOW building for him
at New London, Conn.,, at cost OF
s2,500,000 each, may be imagined
from Mr.. Hills statement that
each one is of $4,000 tons capacity,
and could carry the cargo IF the
White Star freighter Celtic, al
present the largest ship afoat,
and lift weight almost equal to
that of the Celtic itself in addition.
By means of such enormous
freight capacity Mr.. Hill expects
to SO reduce the cost of transport
ing American wheat and flour and
other products across the Pacific
as to enable our exporters TO
undersell the exporters of other
countries. In respect to the
anticipated competition of Russia,
over the new Siberian railway,
Mr.. Hill says it is 2,700 miles
from the wheat fields of Russia to
Port Arthur, and the Russian
railroads would charge probably
Sl.50 per 100 pounds to carry the
grain to that seaport; but with biz
big ships he expects to be able to
deliver freight for less than 30
cents per 100 pounds at Port
Arthur. If this expectation is
realized, Russia would not have
much show in competing with oul
Pacific coast in wheat and -four
