ting for the sake of argument, that

why we cannot is plain. 1t is be-
cause the Steel Trust, favored by

cheaper than be sells the very same

also another alternative which we ought in
fairness to sta-e. 1t may be that the Ro-
man Church, touched to the heart by the
spiritual condition of the Filipinos, may
send forth bands of devoted missionaries
who. without thought Of money OF power,
will re-evangelize the half-hearted Catho-
Hes OF the Philippines and make them con-
verts to nobler and better type of Ro-
man Catholicism. Probably this is the best
thing that could happen. for though We do
not pretend that We should not in the abb

tants, we expect, considering their past

olicism would be the type Of Christianity
most likely to hold the Filipinos.

MORTALITY STATISTICS.

Death Rate In the Principal Cities Of
the Country ain. H--s..-
The mortality statistics for the United
States for the year 1900 have been made
public by the census bureau. The lowest
death rate was at St Joseph, Mo-. where 1t
was 81 per thousand. and the highest NOR
tally was 45.5 per thousand, at Shrcve-
port, La.
In the registration area the fifteen prin-
eipal causes Of death with the rate per
100000 was as follows:
Pneumania. 1919; consumption. 1905;
heart disease. 134.O: diarrheal diseases.

cholera fnfantum. AS; debility, 45.5; infa-
nation Of brain and meningitis, Al s; diph-
liberia. 34.4; typhoid. 1873. and premature
birth, 33.7. Death from all the principal
diseases shows decrease since 1890. the
most notable being in consumption. which
decreased $40 per 10000.
The death rate has generally decreased
since 1890. In the District of Columbia. in
1890. it was 23.7, and in 1900 22S. The total
deaths in the District In 1900 were 6.:s84.
w. A. King, chief of the vital statistics
division, says.
THE most important feature of the re-
suits presented Is found In the decrease In
the general death rate In the registration
area of Is per 1000 of population a de-
crease of nearly 10 per cent, and the de-
crease in the rates from the particular dis

''The effect Of the advances made in medi-
cal science and sanitation and in the pre-
ventive and restrictive measures enforced
by the health authorities is still more
strikingly shown in the comparative rate
for the registration cities of the country
taken together. In 1890 the death rate
in 271 registration cities of 5000 or more
population was q per 1000; In 1900 the

FOREIGN CROP REPORTS.

Arrangements Made by Agricultural
Department Statistician.
Arrangements have been made by John
Hyde, the statistician Of the Agricultural
Department, during his recent trip abroad
for the telegraphic exchange of crop re-
ports with grain-producing countries. This
plan contemplates three reports annually
from Great Britain and six to eight from
other European countries. The system Is
already In force between the United States
and Hungary. and In some Of the other
countries estimates Of production following
the harvests of the present year will be
exchanged. But the complete system will
not be In operation until the opening Of
the crop season of 1902. Mr.. Hyde found
no European country where the crop report
system was as complete as ours and he
found little that can be grated upon our
system with advantage. The purpose of
the proposed exchange OF reports Is to give
the American producer and shipper the
earliest possible authentic reports of crop
conditions abroad. Reports received here
will be given to the press Immediately.
