OUR AslAT,c TRADE.

Exports from the United states 10
Asia are showing greater gain in the
present year than those to any other
part of the world. The latest reports
of the treasury bureau OF statistics
show an increase in the exports to
nearly every division of Asia during
the ten months ending April, while to
South America they show decrease in
the exports to nearly every division.
TO the Dutch East Indies the figures
show an increase of from $1,491,142 in
the ten months of 1901 to s1,6S3,1S5 in
ten months of the present fiscal year;
to Hong Kong, from s6,935,7o3 to ST.
396,270; to Japan, from s15,11s,53s to
S1S,9S1,250; and to China, from $7,423,-
342 to s20,163,123. To China our ex-
ports for the full fiscal year seem
likely to exceed those of any preced-
ing year. and to Japan they will exceed
those of any previous year except 1900,
which was exceptional because of the
large purchases Of cotton made In the
United States In that year for the Jap
anese market. Our exports to China,
which in 1899 were s5,66S,497, seem
likely to be nearly or quite s25,0O0.OOO
in 1902. To Japan our exports in 1892
were $3,290,111, and in 1902 seem likely
to be sS,2sO,0Oo. To Hong Kong our
exports during 1892 were $4,S94.049, and
in 1902 seem likely to be about $780,
600. TO the British East Indies our ex-
ports in 1892 were s3,674,307, and in
1902 will be about s5,oOO,o00. To the
Dutch East Indies they were In 1892
s1,372,035, and in 1902 will be about
$4,000, 900. To the Russian possessions
in Asia our exports in 1892 were $780,
900, and those of 1902 will considerably
exceed s1,ooO,0oo. To all OF Asia our
exports in 1892 were $19,590,350, and In
1902 they will aggregate about $685.
100000.
To Oceania the actual growth in our
exports is not so readily perceptible,
because of the fact that the figures of
exports to Oceania no longer include
our shipments to the Hawaiian islands,
which are now considered as domestic
trade with domestic territory. Com
pairing 1892 with 1902, however, there
is a marked growth in the shipments to
all of those sections of Oceania now in
Guided in the statements of foreign
exports were, in 1892, s11,S86,677, and in
1902 will be about $30,0o0,000. To the
Philippine islands our exports in 1892
were S60,914, and in 1902 will be about
$4,000, 600. The total exports to Oceania
in 1892 were $15,572767, and these fig
ures included s3,7S1,62S of shipments to
the Hawaiian islands; in 1902 the total
to Oceania, exclusive of the Hawaiian
islands, will be about $35,000,000, while
to the Hawaiian islands alone the
shipments during the year, according
TO the best figures obtainable by the
bureau of statistics, amount to about
$4,000, 900, making our total exports to
Oceania, Including the Hawaiian ISL
ands, about s55,000,000 and to Asia and
Oceania combined about $120,000,000,
as against $35,O0O,O0 in 1892. The &C

GentlemanIy Sport in 1902.


Exhibit A., a stadium,
Where youths, inadequately dressed,
A loaded cestus on each fist,
Pounded each other, face and chest.
They called that boxing. Then, per-
haps,
They'd run thousand yards or so.
They jumped. They wrestled, no holds
barred.
They did the underground discus
throw.
And for a prize, the victor wore
Two laurel springs, or maybe three,
For this was gentlemanly sport
In seven twenty-four 3. c..
Exhibit b., fitting yard,
Where men in courtly manners Versed
Disguised themselves as ironclads,
And ran each other down, head first.
To push Sir Johndoe from his horse
Each gentle knight his best assayed.
Such was the object of the game,
And strenuously was it played.
He of the stoutest lance might win
His lady's glove. or scarf, or shoe,
For this was gentlemaniy sport,
In fourteen hundred twenty-five.
Exhibit c., a drawing room,
Where wild eyed men in evening
clothes
Tap fiercely at small white ball
And, missing. mutter gentle oaths.
Racuuets the size OF coffee spoons,
A table and a three-inch net.
Fair maidens by to watch the play,
And there you have a ping-pong set
Medals, for this. and silver cups
We feel are but the victor's due,
For this is gentlemanly sport

The Senate Committee on Mill itary Affairs has favorabiy report ed the Militia Reorganization bill, which war introduced bv Repre- sentative Dick and passed by the House at the last session. This bill was originally drawn in ac. cordance with the views of the Secretary of War and provides for organization of the "reserve military strength" of the nation. Briefly, it provides for the drill and armament of the militia in accordance with the regulations prevailing in the regular army. It permits the President, in time of war or emergency, to call on the governors of states for military assistance and permits the use of the state forces a5 ehtireties, without separate 9hlistment or commissions. It provides for a reserve force of those who have served nj either tharegular army or the militia, who shall meet from time to. time for drill and camp service and for a roll oi officers who, having served for a certain time, shall pass an exami- nation and be certified as worthy of commissions when such are required.

AN EDUCATIONAL AWAKENING

1t is gratifying to notice that in the
daily and weekly papers of Georgia
great deal is being said about the
Importance of improving the public
school system of the state. This is
good sign. There is undoubtedly
room for improvement. The people are
awakening to the necessity of provid-
ing their children with better school
facilities. They are thinking of the
additional expense and how the money
is to be raised. The more they think
about the matter the clearer it will
appear to them that they are not do
ing justice to their children.
1t is evident that as long as the
pension burden continues to be as
large as it is at present no more money
is to be hoped for from the state. In
fact, it is much more likely that the
amount appropriated by the state for
school purposes will be reduced than
increased. The indications are that
the amount required for pensions will
continue to grow until it reaches ST.
100000 year, because it is hardly prob
courage to cut off from the pension list
all pensioners except needy veterans
and the widows of needy veterans.
The thing that must be done there
fore is this: In every county there
must be levied a tax for school pur-
poses independently of the tax levied
by the state. Quite a number of coun-
ties now have a local school tax, and
they could not be induced to abandon
it unless a sufficient amount of money
for school purposes could be obtained
from other sources. 1t is fair to as
sumo therefore that if the counties
which do not have a local tax for
school purposes were to levy such a
tax it would not be long before the
people, seeing the benefits arising from
better schools, would pay the tax will
ingly.
The county papers all over the state
ought to take this matter up and urge
upon the people the Importance of
giving their children better school ad-
vantages. They can do more than all
other agencies to bring about the de-
sired object.
There is a growing desire for bet>
ter things all over the state, better
farms. better homes, more attractions
around the homes, better stock and
better farm implements and machin-
cry. This desire would be greatly
strengthened by better public schools,
because the young men and women
if they had better school advantages,
would have their mental visions So
vantages of improvement and also
ways of bringing them about.

The song entitled There's a Hole in
the Bottom of the Sea- which was
sung at the close of the session of the
House on Tuesday, is drinking song,
says the Washington correspondence
of the Baltimore Sun.
There is only one stanza, but that
makes no difference, especially when
hilarity runs high, and it may be re-
peated just as long as the flowing bowl
holds out. The air is that of There
is a Land That is Fairer Than Day"
the "hole" being one which the drinkers
are trying to fill, but, it is needless
to say, the sea succeeds first in the
filing every time, and what is more
it is at the old stand in the morning
with neither katzenjammer nor re-
morse. -
The song was brought to Washington
by Senator Thurston of Nebraska,
where there isn't much sea, but plenty
of dust. This is the song:
There's a hole in the bottom of the sea:
There's hole in the bottom of the sea;
There's a hole in the bottom of the sea;
There's hole in the bottom of the sea;
