UNITED STATES RICE.

Perhaps we are not feeding the world" just now quite as much as we were before the muek-rakers raked, but we shall soon be all right again, and be feeding more than ever. We may in time be selling rice to the Chinese and Japanese According to a writer in the Review of Reviews, rice- growing in Louisiana and Texas is flourishing and likely to flourish much more. By selecting the seed most suit able for the conditions, which proved to be a Japanese stock, by perfecting a system of irrigation not very ex- pensive, and by intensive culture by the use of modern farm machinery, the crop is raised so economically that it may reasonably be expected to com- pete with foreign rice. The optimistic writer expects before long that we shall be exporting rice for half the world, and that our export crop will be among the largest of our agricul- tural products, the first of which is now corn, the second hay, the third cotton, and the fourth wheat. There are, he says, 21,OOOOOO acres of land suitable for rice culture in the United States; land naturally wet with 8 sub soil of clay that will hold the water and yet capable of being drawn off and dried 50 that heavy farm machinery will be borne up.
 The more rice the merrier Perhaps the people of this country will learn to eat rice by and by. It has helped the Japanese.

FATAL BENEFICENCE.

Some of the difficulties in the way of a benevolent and benefcent government have beset the United States in the Philippines. Others are besetting it in the Panama canal zone. It is asserted that the improved sanitation of the ca nal zone is proving too much for the health of the West Indian negroes em- ployed on the canal, and many fatali- ties are occurring among them from pneumonia and other throat and lung troubles. It appears that these negroes have not been accustomed to very large amount of fresh air so that the strange charge might be made against the Canal Commission that they are really killing them off by too much sanitation. They have for generations been living in small hu.s, where large families crowd in rooms which are packed to suffocation, and as these rooms are tightly closed against the entrance of the night air ic will be readily seen that they nave weak lungs, from too little work for them to per- form, and are in consequence particu- larly susceptible to pulmonary com plaints. It has also been found that these laborers cannot be induced to eat enough wholesome food Co keep them in even decent health, even when tempted by the viands supplied by the commits sion at big prices.
 Of course such incidents as these ought not to and will not keep us from going on with our civilizing and uplift- ing work.

HoW oAN TOU I'LL ,EMa

Democracy may not be entirely dead in this country. Hopeful ones say it isn't. But it is certainly strangely changed and mixed up. Here comes the news that in Missouri they are acquir- ing the habit of wearing light clothes in summer, and the Kansas City Star wonders how it's going to be possible after this to distinguish an old-fash- toned Democrat, who always wore black clothing. "The discarded coat" says the Star, might almost have been re- garded as the insignia of the Demo- cratic party of Missouri. When one saw it he knew instinctively that the wearer voted the ticket straight It was badge of regularity equally hon. orable with devotion to free silver.
 Perhaps this and other things are preparatory to what is going to happen when the popular Bryan gets home. HGv can you tell an old-fashioned Democrat then?
