The Plea for AguinaIdo.

Il would seem that our friends in
New England who are so anxious to
furnish Emilio Aguinaldo and certain
of his former associates with a trans
Atlantic iunket at the expense of the
United States could find better EN-
ployment.
The claim is made that Aguinaldo
has not been given fun and proper
hearing: that he is anxious to tell his
troubles 10 Congress.
There is no apparent reason for
bringing the Tagal leader here, there
by turning the Philippine question
into a side-show by putting him on
exhibition. If our Boston friends are
really anxious to serve the better
cause in the archipelago, they should
turn the guns of their elooucnce to-
ward Manila; the target should be
their protege.
While un5ridled insurrection con-
tinues in the Eastern isles there
should be no such excursion as that
proposed. There is lingering srs-
picion that Aguinaldo could. if he
would, speak the word that would
stop the armed enterprises of the
brown men. Recent rumors from Ma
Mia concerning the continued plotting
of the captured chieftain strengthen
the doubts of the American people us
to the sincerity of the prisoner of
var and other leaders who have
sworn allegiance to the United States
Government.
In the appeal of the New England
ers for the importation of the captive
Filipino there il an inference that
free communication with higher
American authorities has been denied
him. The natives are said TO have
been deprived of AN opportunity for a
full and authorized expression OF

Mobiles Cuban Trade.

THE business men of Mobile plume
themselves on having secured the lion s
share of the trade with Cuba" said Mr.
Leslie Brooks. member of the Chamber
of Commerce OF that Alabama port, at the
Riggs.
This Cuban business was formerly
nearly all monopolized by New Orleans,
but Mobile has captured il and will hold
II. Geographically We have much the ad .
vantage of New Orleans, on account of the
shorter ocean trip from Havana. During
the war with Spain a considerable mum

with us. They were well pleased, and

relations with the Gem of the Antilles.
and sent out vast amount OF literature
in the Spanish language, besides personal
representatives, who demonstrated that
Mobile was the best situated of all the
Gulf ports for the commerce OF the West
Indies.
The city itself is progressing satisfac-
torily; old buildings are being torn down
to make place for modern structures. and
the streets are being paved with asphalt.
The latest addition to our industries is a
mammoth shipbuiiding plant which was
also won from New Orleans

The Symphony of Progress.

There is a legend to the effect that
every structure has its sympathetic
note TO which il will vibrate. The
continuous struinming on a single
string which sings for the greater
Washington may be somewhat mo-
notonous, but the hope that a sympa-
thetic chord may be found in the pub
lie heart is the inspiration.
The press is the father of progress,
and is sounding the tocsin. Municipal
greatness in most of the American
municipalities is to be traced to news
paper agitation. Those who ignore
the first signals for the crusade will
eventually be attracted if the opera
tion is sufficiently prolonged. Their
attention elected, the public may be
depended upon to act.
In our opinion, the song advocating
the greater Washington has the aural
fascination of a symphony. 1t is full
of harmonies and far removed from
the ephemeral nature of rag-:ime. If
Richard Wagner could set the idea of
the future of the Capital to music it
would be masterpiece. There is in
spiration in it. 1t is a theme for
creator in the realm of music, or of
poetry. The dream of the greater
city of the greatest nation in the days
that are to come is pleasant one.
and one conducive to the inspiration
of genius in whom the imagination
is sufficiently developed to make him
the prophet.
The ear of the imagination detects
the strains of the ideal. 1t hears
those sweet sounds which are the CON
comitants of the future apotheosis of
the Capital. if such it can be styled to
indicate TRANSPORTATION.
There is close bond between the
truly musical and the ideal. Let us
hope that the Washingt oman will rise
to the heights of appreciation; that
he will appreciate the glorious strife
toward the altruistic; that he will be
able to listen with delight to the
strains of the grand sweet song" of
local progress.

European AnglOphObia.

Throughout the Continent OF Europe
the feeling against Great Britain is in
tensely bitter, especially in Germany, as
/ noticed on recent visit to the Father
land said Mr. Albert de Leur of Cali
fornia, at the Raleigh.
The newspaper cartoons rejecting this
anti English sentiment which are sold
in the streets of Berlin and Paris, are too
vile to describe. Such literature wouldn't
be tolerated in the United States The
Boer war is the big factor in this hos
tility. Englishmen with whom | talked
recognized this, but they evinced no de-
sire to weaken IN the prosecution of the
South African conflict. In truth, England
cannot back down. She has one of two
things to do: prosecute the war to the
bitter end of Boer subju2ation or sink to
the level of a third-rate power There
is no escape from one or the other of
these conclusions. For myself, | can't
see hcw the Beers can hope to avoid utter
and crushing ruin.
England has, besides other troubles of
a domestic kind. The despotisms OF the
trades unions are bitterly complained
of. They are said 10 dictate in labor
matters to an extent unheard of in this
country, and to the detriment of almost
every branch OF business"

Mr.. Payne and Mr.. Smith.

To Postmaster General Payne Wash
ington extends a national welcome: !:
to eX-Postmaster Smith godspeed.
Mr.. Payne realizes an ambition cher
ished for many years: Mr.. Smith, one
of the most distinguished lights of
American journalism, returns to the
strenuous life, where every day is a
battle and no two are alike.
Under Mr.. Smith the postal system
has made perceptible progress. He
has right to be proud of his work
and to accept cncomiums that have
been well earned. He will be missed
in both official and social circles.
Mr.. Smiths retirement to field
that is more congenial. from old asso-
citation, and more profitable also, is
Mr.. Payne's opportunity. The history
of the new Postmaster General is an
emphatic guarantee that he will not
neglect the vast possibilities for the
exercise of his ability.
While there is practically nothing
tangible upon which to base the no.
ton. it is commonly believed that the
new chief of the nail-carrying depart
ment will adopt innovations. What
these may be is largely ii matter of
speculation. but penny postage has
been persistently mentioned. The
general public will. as a consequence,
await the Inauguration of Mr.. Payne's
policy with unusual interest.

IF CHRIST CAME TO WASHINGTON.
Subject of Spirited Sermon by Rev.
Allen Wilson.

"If Christ Came to Washington" was
the subject of spirited sermon by the
Rev. Allen Wilson at the Christian
Church, corner Ninth and D Streets
northeast, last night. This was the elev-
enth night OF evangelistic services, and
the attendance was a convincing proof of
popular interest. An overflow meeting
was held in the basement So far 141

The Rev. Wilson, using the eleventh
chapter OF Matthew, undertook to picture
things in this city as they would appear
TO the pure Nazarene should he come now.
First, Christ would find his church in
a sad state of decadence. with the people
largely in pursuit of sinful pleasures and
being one with the world in all except
name. He would find the church poor and
stunt bling.
As for the city, the Christ would find
it self-centred, not only in business, but
in social life.
The gossiper. the evangelist says, is
the worst thing in the world. and the
Christ would find more pain nom the
stinging tongue than from any form of
wickedness here existing. Rather would
l have the devil himself after me than the
vicious tattler" From gossip no charac-
ter is immune.
But with the common vices-drinking.

would find large part of his followers

Americans Lose Opportunities.

"Our YANKEE cleveTness enables us TO
sell shoes of American manufacture in
the leading cities of Europe" said Dr. W.
p. Sands, of Portland Ore, at the Riggs.
Everywhere one goes in Europe he will
see products from the States that are
better and cheaper than the Old World
wares. But, as | found out in a late
transatlantic trip. we do nor begin to
make the most of our opportunities for
extending our foreign trade
"One of the CHIEF hindrances to in
creasing our exports is that our business
people do not sufficiently consult the
whms of the European buyers ! found
out that the olives Of California are far
preferable TO those of Barcelona, yet the
sale OF the American olives is limited
because they are not put up in a way
that the Europeans like. The same is
true OF the wines of the Pacific Slope In
every way the California wines are bet
ter than the same variety abroad, and
they are now to be found on the hotel
dining cards in all the large Continental
cities. AT the same time. owing to a lack
Of skill in blending, they haven't tn,
tasts of the German clarets, and so do
not appeal to the foreigners as they
should.
Another drawback Is that Americans
seem to be in too big hurry for their
cash. They want TO draw against a bill of
lading, which Is annoying to the Eu-
ropean and contrary to his deliberate
methods: If given longer credits he
would buy much more largely than now
from American houses
