The PHILIPPINES AND FOREIGN TRADE

tHE PHILIPPINES ANU EUREIGN TRADE
In view of the fact that the United
States has become a great producing
and exporting nation, and that foreign
markets are essential for the disposal of
the surplus output, much interest at
taches to the annual report of Gen.
Macarthur, commanding the forces In
the Philippines, giving review Of the
years work in the archipelago. While
the scope of his work relates to
military affairs, there are some sug-
gestions in it of commercial interest
touching on the future of the islands.
and their Importance in relation to the
trade of Asia, which is now an open
ing market to the world
He notices that overproduction ha S
practically filled the domestic channels
of trade in many countries, and as a
consequence all are seeking foreign
markets at the same time. The only
open field that presents any attractions
to the practical economist is the far
east, Asia in fact, where the teeming
populations invite close investigation
with the view to securing markets for
much surplus produce.
Altho the question of opening Asia ia
the trade of the world affords scope for
wide speculative study, he declares his
purpose in touching upon this subject
is to establish few plain premises
upon which to base the unqualified as
sertion that peaceful possession of the
Philippine archipelago by the United
States is not only of paramount import
ance, but is absolutely essential to the
progressive development of American
national interests.
Gen. Macarthur says further that:
The power that holds these islands
must of necessity, and from that alone,
exert an active and potential influence
upon the affairs OF Asia. The archipela-
go affords an ideal strategical position.

THE CROP DAMAGE.

me government crop report of Satur-
day confirms the fears of those whe
We're conscious of the great damage
wrought by the drouth and heat of July.
More than half the corn crop of the
country is lost and the yield will be but
little over l.0OO,O0O,0 900 bushels as
compared with over 2.1OO,OOO,OOO last
year. The average condition of corn de-
clned 27.3 points in July, thus showing
an enormous shrinkage. During that
month there was a decline of ) points in
Ohio, q in Indiana, Sc in Illinois, 30 in
Iowa, Al in Missouri, So in Kansas and
SO in Nebraska. Iowa is credited with a
percentage of 81, as against "a for the
entire country, yet it may we'll be
doubted whether Iowa's yield will reach
the figures Indicated. A Marshalltown
gentleman, Mr. N. S. Ketchum talked
with Secretary James Wilson Saturday
That official was of the opinion that
Iowa would have more feed than ever
before by utilizing the corn as fodder,
but will have less corn to sell. This ac-
cords with the observation of Mr..
ketchum. The latter has noticed that
fields of corn sheltered on the north by
timber will produce large yield, while
those exposed to the hot south wind will
return almost nothing in the way of
corn. He notices also that the oats crop
is excellent and the hay crop good, and
is of the opinion that Iowa will lose
rothing if farmers are shrewd enough
to use their corn as fodder, stalks, corn
and all. He finds that the farmers are
arranging all over the state to take
care of the crop in this way. The in
creased price of corn will amply COM
pensate those who have the grain to sell,
tho it is probable that it will be largely
consumed at home for feed.
Potatoes and tomatoes are badly cut
this season in Iowa, yet the crop is in
better condition in the east. While the
potato crop declined 81 points in Iowa in
July, the average condition for the en-
tire country is 25.9 points lower than last
year.
The buckwheat crop is good this year,
better than last, and those who are in
clined to feel pessimistic may be reas-.
sured by falling back upon buokwheat
cakes and molasses.

Fined For Death on hoard.

'The only place, as far as law is con-
cerned, where 1t costs money to die
from natural causes is aboard a steam
ship" remarked vessel owner THE
purpose of the law was excellent
enough. There was time when emf
grants were being brought TO this
country In very large numbers, or by
the shipload,' as it was termed. There
is no doubt that there was crowding in
the ships that brought them, and to
prevent this a law was passed impos-
ing upon the ship fine Of SO for
every death that occurred during the
passage from natural causes of per-
sons over : years of age. This
put q stop TO overcrowding, or, at
least. 1t is supposed that it did, which
is about the same thing. Ships do not
fancy having TO pay fines Of this kind.

Poison Proof People.

There are entire communities OF pei
son proof people who partake of doses
Of white arsenic with as much zest as
the average person partakes Of meal.
Chief among these singularly gifted
people are the Syrian and Corinthian
shepherds who lnhabit the districts of
Lamprecht, Salzburg, Hartberg, Leo
ben, Oberzeirung and the Erzgebirge
mountains. The sturdy mountaineers
consider that arsenic improves their
wind for channels climbing.
Some years ago DR.. Knapp put two
OF these men through their PAGES be-
fore the German Society OF Physicians
assembled at Gratz. The one ate six
grains of white arsenic, or enough to
kill three men, without experiencing
the slightest Inconvenience. The other
partook of four grains Of yellow arse
mic, or orpiment with equal impunity.
1t was explained that, seeing the good
effect of the drug upon the coats and
condition of their flocks, many Of these
shepherds start the practice under the
impression that taken in moderation 1t
is good for human beings also.
Usually started with a small weekly
dose spread upon bread and butter, the
embryo arsenic eater has TO undergo a
very severe test of his devotion to the
drug. Violent sickness and burning
pains accompany its first use, and the
drug speedily asserts its fatal power
over its devotee.
Any attempt to leave off the drug is
generally fatal. The women Of these
arsenic eating districts are famous for
their beautiful compilations and luXuri-

General Greene,s Discipliue

General Francis Ninton Greene was
one of the strictest disciplinarians in
all the army that went out to fight
Spain. He was in command of the Sew
enty-first regiment, y. G.. y. Y, at
Camp Black, near Hampstead, Y. y.
As the regiment was breaking camp
on the way TO the front an old gentle
man interrupted General Greene, who
was talking with the writer.
"Sir," he said, twill you grant brief
leave of absence to Mr.. Blank, pri-
vate in this regiment? He is a son Of
the late Colonel Blank of the army
His mother is dying, and she is asking
for her boy. He will join his command
at Tampa"
Il am very sorry, sir" replied Gen
eral Greene, but it will be impossible
to deviate in any case from the rule
by which we are all bound. My own
father lies dying at home, yet / cannot
go to him.
And General Greene, as a matter of
fact, did not for many weeks see his
father, who died before the Spanish
war was ended.

Edit0ri0I Comment.
Settled at Last.

The True Northerner has sharply criti-
cized the Lawrence Times for its course
in the matter of new county buildings,
as it seemed to us that paper was actual
ed by motive of obstruction, rather
than a spirit of fairness. We did not be-
lieve the Times was sincere in its doubt
as to Paw Paws good faith in the offer
of $4,000. Indeed there was never any
ground for doubt, and from our stand
point the Times was unreasonable; from
its standpoint, it is now evident it was
only cautious The True Northerner now
DOTS its hat to the Times, even as it did
to the voters of Lawrence township in
the county seat election. Lawrence is
our friend, and Paw Paw appreciates it,.
The Times honestly and squarely con-
graduated Paw Paw last week as follows,
under the heading, Settled at Last"
"Hail Columbia, Happy Land" the
county seat question is now settled forever
and all is we'll The position was taken
by the Times that the board of supervlS-
ors could not with safety accept the Far
son Leach & Cos contract, conditions, GER
titicates or what-nots, representing Paw
Paws $4,000 offered as an inducement
for the erection of new county buildings
at Paw Paw. The board rejected the of
fer, but Paw Paw proved herself equal to
emergencies, number of her citizens
putting up the cash and placing it in the
hands of the board, which was accept
able. The Hillsdale pattern of county
buildings was selected. The new loca-
ton for the buildings will be whole
block in the rear of the present site. A
Kalamazoo firm has the contract to
build the court house, but the Jail and
sheriff's residence, costing about $4,000,
and the site, making $4,000, will be ask
ed for at the hands of the people at a
special election July 10, appointed by
the board. Paw Paws enterprise is COM
mendable. Three cheers for the county
seat town.!!

Poison Proof Animals.

Neither differences of organization in
animals nor In the constitution OF the
poisonous substance generally afford
any clew for interpreting an exception
nj want of effect. Unaccountable is
the immunity of rabbits against bella
donna leaves (Atropa belladonna, dead
ly nightshade) You may feed them
with belladonna for weeks without OBJ
serving the least toxic symptoms. The
meat Of such animals, however, proves
poisonous TO any one who eats it, pro-
plant.
Pigeons and various other herbivora
are also to some degree safe from the
effects of this poison, while in warm
bloOded carnivora It causes paralysis
and asphyXia. In frogs the effect
is n different one, consisting of spasms
The meat of goats which had fed on
hemlock has sometimes occasioned
poisonous effects. Chickens are near
ly hardy against nuX vomica and the
extremely dangerous alkaloid. strych-
nine, contained in it, while in the
smallest amount it is fatal poison to
rodents.
More remarkable yet In this respect
is the immunity of Cholnpus hoffman
nj, kind of sloth living on the island
of Ceylon, which, when given ten
grains of strychnine, was not much af
fected. Pigeons are possessed of high
immunity from morphine, the chief al
kalOid of opium, rs well as from bella
donna. Eight grains were required TO
mortal dose for man. Cats are ex-
tremely sensitive to foXglove Digitalis
purpurea), which on the contrary may
be given TO rabbits and various birds
in pretty large doses.

ALL the talk about a third term for

uncalled for. The True Northerner is as
sincere an admirer of the president as
anyone, but there are many good men in
the republican party, and there is no
crisis existing at the present time that
demands the oyerturning of a precedent
as old as the nation itself. Mr.. Mckinley
has shown his good sense by plainly dis
avowing any ambition for "a third term.

FROM all we can hear of the sentimen

FROM all we can hear of the sentiment
of the people in various parts of the
county, there seems to be little or no
opposition to voting the Jail bonds July
10. The general sentiment seems to be,
and it is one that is natural to any fair
mind, that Paw Paw has been extremely
liberal, and more than fair to the county,
and has paid towards new buildings
much more than any one town in justice
ought to pay, and that if this township
pays for the court house, the county
ought to pay the balance of the expense.
If this township can pay $4,000 the
entire county can certainly pay $4,000
without any hardship.
