give such people as desire to improve the

DOUBTLESS the distinguished Filipino will
have a grand reception in Boston. and
in spite Of Deweys opinion of the light
fingered proclivities of the late leader,
he will be rendered the freedom Of the
city. He will be received in other cities
as q curiosity. and the people will flock
to get a glimpse Of him just as they
would to see the wild man from Borneo
in the side-sElow of the circus.
Aguinaldo may be induced to deliver a
few lectures for fair compensation, and
d. limited number of them will probably
be we'll attended. Aside from these fea-
lures. the visit Of the alleged George

OUR COLONIAL TRADE.

Some interesting statistics have recent
ly been sent out from Washington con-
corning commerce between the United
States and its newly acquired territory
The figures are gratifying, as showing an
II crease over every quarter.
Beginning with Porto Rico. 1T was
shown that o;r exports in 1897 to that
island were less than two million dol
lars. but they have grown year by year
until during the eleven months ended
with May they have increased to nearly
ten million dollars.
In 1897 the exports to Hawaii were
something less than five million dollars;
this year they will reach nearly twenty
million dollars.
in 1897 our exports to the Philippine
Islands were less than one hundred thous-
and collars; this year they will amount to
fully five million dollars.
our exports to Alaska have also in
creased. and 1t Is estimated that the
totaI exports Ito all these new posses
siors for the present year will aggregate
fifty million dollars, as against ten mil
lion dollars in 1897 There has been a
increase in imports from
all the territory mentioned. showing that
our commerce with them is reciprocal,
] hey are buying from us and we are
buying from them. and SO cur trade is
increasing ali the time. Sentiment aside,
expansion seems to be a success

Doubtless histories. even school histories,

the credit for that victory
But be this true or not the fact remains
that the recent action OF the Louisiana
Legislature n passing a resolution pro-
.,.bit!ng the use Of histories in the public
schools in that State which fail to give
This credit to Schley was ludicrous
in the extreme. The Louisiana law-nak-
ers win very soon learn that they cannot
make or un-nake history by law any
more than any other legislators can leg
,slate morality into the totally depraved
or sobr!ety into the confirmed inebr!ate.
We epprchend that this attempt to make
history by law will prove altogether I'M
satisfactory.
The Superintendent cf Public Educe-
ton in Louisiana, with his associates.
like the Superintendent Of Public 1nstruc-
ton Of Virginia and his associates. are
the proper officials to select histories
and other school books to be used in the
public schools, and it is a matter with
which the Legislature has nothing to do.
This remarkable law will compel the
Louisiana school officials to search his
tories used IN public schools to discover
whethe. they represent Schley in the de-
sired light, and II not he must throw
them aside The necessary changes IN
