It even suggests that they might possibly come by the new road across the Umbrail Pass, thus avolding the Stilfser Joch route and the Austrian forts commanding it. The Relchswehr demonstrates in conclusion that the mili- tary authorities, both in Italy and Switzer- land, are devoting much more attention to the state of the Austro-Swiss frontier than their Austrian colleagues, and that it is a mistake to regard that frontier as a strategic hindrance which can be relied on absolutely. reports Chris ris the Oklahoma Horder, | the Kansas Clty Star When the Bills C avorable for a Indianapolls China says she will pay more attention to forelgn affairs in the future.

These ave Just been compiled by the treasury bureau of statistics and they show a markable progress. In the fiseal year of 1803 the value of the principal ex- ports from the United Statés to Japan was a little over $3,000,000, while last year they amounted to more than $20,000,000, Eight years ago this coun- try stood sixth in rank In the list of countrles from which Japan drew her tmports, while now the United States is nd in the list, being only exceeded by Great Britain. Manifestly this is a trade to be culti- vated, for there is no doubt that it can be sgeadily and in time largely in creased. But we cannot expect to retain it 1t we adopt a policy of diserimination against the Japanese such as we have in operation against the Chinese. Japan pow has the warmest friendship for the United Statos, Her people have recently shown their gratitude to America by dedicating a monument to Commodore Perry. They are most desirous to main- tain friendly relations and to continue to do business with us. But this feeling would give way to one of resentment it we should apply the same policy of exclusion to the Japanese that we do to the Chinese and we should find trade with Japan declining, while the In- fluence of that power in the east would be exerted against us commerclally. And the Pacltic const, where the agitation for Jupanese exclusion has begun, would suffer as much as any other section. Whatever may be thought of the wisdom or expediency of re-enacting the Chinese exclusion law, it would seem, from a commercial point of view, there could be no doubt that the ap- plication of this policy to the Japanese would be a grave and costly mistake. — REPRESENTATIVE BABCOCK'S PLAN. There Is some misapprehension re- garding the plan of tarlff amendment proposed by Representative Babeock of Wisconsin, It does not contemplate a general revision of the tariff nor even the placing on the free list of all arti- cles made by trusts, as has been commonly assumed. In a letter to the editor of a Wisconsin paper Mr. Bab- cock says he Is an ultra protectionist and has not changed his lifelong views in the least. What he proposes Is to remove the duties from such articles as are manufactured cheaper in the United States than in any other country. He declares that he has no sympathy “with the democratic idea that the duties should be removed from all trust-made goods, for that would be free trade. For instance, the greatest revenue pro- ducer we have Is sugar, handled and con- trolled by a trust, but inasmuch as pro- tection is necessary for the cane grow ers of the south and the beet grower of the north, the tariff should remain. Mr. Babeock argues that we should not continue a tavift on articles that yield no revenue, need no protection and that, in fact, like the products ¢ our farws, are articles of export. He thinks that if congress maintaing a tarift on such articles the whole theory of protection falls to the ground and “it crops Ac furin up to | Philadelphia Record: “Well," | after the evietion, {8 this the ‘en: | “Norepiled Adam, “Its only the be. ginning, but I can see my finikh now that you've taken to wearing clothes ald Eve, NT OF CIRCULATION cbraska, Douglas County, ss Taschuck, secretary of I'he Company, being duly swor the number of full ar Th Da Morning Bee printed during the wa to W York.

Chicago Chroniele. Happily for the country the greater part of a bountiful wheat crop had already been secured when the drouth set in and the parts of the country where it had not been secured have not been seriously affected by the recent unfavorable conditions. We can, in fact, count on the greatest wheat crop ever harvested, not excepting the great crop of 675,000,000 bushels in 1898, Not fm- probably that figure will be exceeded by 50,000,000 bushels this year. This I8 no small compensation for the corn shortage. Fortunately the sections which suffered most from the drouth as to corn produced a phenominal crop of wheat. —_— Democratic Party Gone, Springfleld (Mags.) Republican, The old democratic party, as it was be- fore the election of 1892, can never be re- stored to the stage of public affairs. The revolution of Bryanism has left ineffaceable marks upon it. A reorganized party must be more radical in some particulars than was the old one if it is to draw a single vigorous breath of life. It will naturally be anti-plutocratie, anti-aristocratic, anti- Imperlalist and anti-militarist, with some soclalistic tendencies. All the signs of the times indicate that such, in a general way, 18 to be the character of the opposition to the party of imperlallsm, strong central government and organized wealth.

According to the Independent, the Ameri- can apple crop for 1900 aggregated 215,000, 000 barrels, being worth at an average price of $2 per barrel the enormous aggregate of $430,000,000.

Tibet, or Thibet, adjolns India on the northeast, and its eastern projection runs directly across the north- ern section of Burmah. A hostile nation occupying Tibet could push an army down between Burmah, which s British, and British India, and its natural objective would be Calcutta. The Tibetans, who are the most conservative of the world's conservatives, have no desire to trouble other people or to have their country made the “base of operations’ by anybody. All they ask is to be let alone, and people who forget this warning are liable to be hanged, after torture. The Tibetans are deaf to the virtues of reform. They have their ways and they prefer them. They do not want their government improved and they will not be essimilated if they can help it. They object to be “written up,” even.

That is a question that needs to be very carvefully considered, It Is safe to as. sume that wanufacturers very generally will say, as did the president of the steel trust before the Industrial commis- sion, that the removal of duties would inevitably result in reducing the pay of labor, and assumption that such would be the effect cannot be regarded as un reasonable, : Mr. Babcoek Is prominent in repub lican councils, which gives significance and lmportance to bis proposition, but 50 far as appears it 1s not favorably re garded Ly other prominent republicans fn congress, The general sentiment among them seems to be that the tarift should be let alone.

Wright, former deputy state food commissioner of Nebraska, is the promoter and originator of a ‘“special vibration" theory of ralnmaking, and is banging away at the sky with four mortars posted on a twenty-acre tract near Lincoln, Neb. It has not varied much from the 2,000,000,000 mark, In four years of this time the crop went above the 2| 000,000 line, and in two years it dropped below that mark. The largest crop in this period was in 1896, when it was 2,283,000,000 bushels, and the smallest one was in 1897, when it was 1,908,000,000, The years of the greatest and the smallest crop coming close to- gether made a shrinkage in one year of 380,000,000 bushels. This was the broadest recent variation in the crop in successive years, except in 1594 and 1865 The ab- normally small yield of the former year was followed by a crop 900,000,000 bush- els greater, or 2,151,000,000 bushels But the smaller crop in those years was worth $10,000,000 more on the farm than was the greater one. A falling off in the corn yleld, while it does not commonly injure the producer sorfously, strikes both the consumer and the rallroads. The constumer usually makes up the loss to the producer in advanced prices. But the rallways lose a great deal of freight through the shortage, their earn- ings are decreased and sometimes they ure obliged to discharge some of their employes or cut wages. Then, too, & corn shortage tells In a reduced pork product and higher pork prices. Corn is the United States’ imperial crop, Commonly it 18 double the value of wheat, and is far ahead of that of cotton, hay or any other agricultural product. It is satisfactory to know, there fore, that, from present indications, the reduction in the corn yleld will ot be so looked Ilke raln when Mr. Wright started | Breat as was feared & week ago. the goods will be needed immediately the other hand, the shipbuilding yards are fully employed, and will have to work hard in order to be able, in addition to their other contracts, to bufld the new passenger steamers for the Pacific ocean service. The bullding-construction works continue to re- ceive orders from abroad, which are exe- cuted at charges fully as low as those of English firms Ten months before the general elections in Belglum the campaign has already begun This is quite unprecedented, but its causes lie in an attempt to unite the various fac- tions of the opposition against the govern ment, which for many years has been play- ing into the hands of the clerical party in such a way that the communal schools are in the hands of Roman Catholics, who receive revenues from both church and state. In the meantime, an object lesson is offered to Denmark, Holland, if not to France, by the way the liberal party and the soclalists, through a series of mutual compromises, have become united. The main point on which the opposition is united is the question of electoral reform 0 the basis of universal suffrage with pro- portional representation for minorities When the first attempt was made to unite the liberals and soclalists, the latter de manded the extension of the franchise to women, but the liberals replied by saying Let us first assure the equality of man.'
