Upwards of 19,000 bills, joint res olutions and other matters were in troduced into congress during the session that came to a close the oth er day. The session was 197 days long. It is not to be wondered at, therefore, that many measures failed of consideration,and that many bad ly digested bills went through. ZSfiSunile 'Signature of you ask for it.

Macon Telegraph. ft is difficult to understand the point of view of such men as Sena tor Hoar who snort at the mere mention of governing the Filipinos, to whom we made no promises, and: then turn round and vote for a per manent protectorate over the Cu bans, to Whom the Teller resolution promised absolute freedom and in dependence. - So remarkable a fact not only fur nishes proof of individual inconsist ency, but proof of the strength of the feeling in the country that some aort of supervision in, Cuba’s case is necessary for American interests. A mere glance at the provisions of the act of congress will show that, how ler desirable these provisions may be independently considered, they do not accord with the Teller Reso lution, and that they imply a much more complete protectorate than that of Great Britain over the Transvaal prior to the outbreak of the present South African war. The provisions are substantially as follows: (1.) Supervision of all for eign treaties. (2.) Practical control of Cuba’s finances and credit. (3.) The right of intervention at any time. (4.) American supervision of Cuban sanitation. (5.' Determina tion by treaty of the status of the Ilse of Pines, claimed by the Cubans as politically a part of their island. (6.) Sale or leasing of lands to the United States for naval and coaling stations. Had there been no Teller resolu tion these demands would now doubtless be regarded by the world (Cubans included) as a perfectly rea sonable and by no means unexpect ed outcome of the war with Spain. But there was a Teller resolution unanimously adopted, and the Cu bans at least took us at our word and are now evidently determined to hold us to our contract if they possibly can. Those recognizing the binding nature of the Teller resolu tion, but at the same time believing that thn provisions of the aet were desirable on prudential grounds, hoped that the Cubans would freely consent to them for the sake of their own protection as well as ours, thus solving a perplexing problem. But this hope was vain. The del egates at Havana inserted in the Cubau constitution clauses which refuse to recognize any American authority and demand practically unrestricted independence for Cuba. Now the question is, what are we going to do about it? Somebody must back down, and is it to be the American government or the Cuban government? The American gov ernment is not in the habit of back ing down and the spectacle would be a humiliating one, but suppose the Cubans stick to their position even to the point of flying to arms? After a tedious guerrilla war we could of course chase the last man of them out of the bushes, but it would be less easy to dispose of the disagreeable fact that we had bro ken faith with the Cuban people. <*— Night Was Her Terror. “I would cough nearly all night long,” writes Mrs. Chas.

The mule has been written about since the beginning of the Spanish American war until there is hardly a ; nook or, corner of the earth: that, does not know that the long-eared product of the Missouri farm is an essential feature of latter-day wars. After giving the mule all credit, the hen steps in with a record for results that mark her out for dis tinction. According to a report of the qensus bureau which will soon be issued, the total number of pounds of poultry shipped from 114 counties of Missouri last year was 106,988,710, an increase of 36,907,- 443 pounds over the preceding year. The total number of dozens of eggs shipped from the state last year was 34,875,040, bringing the aggregate value of poultry-yard products co $12,001,048. According to reports, this sum is larger by $17,000 than,the total val ue of all the corn, wheat, oats, flax, timothy seed, castor beans, clover seed, millet seed, cane seed, cotton seed, tobacco, broom corn, hay and straw which was exported last year. Figures like these show the value of by-products. Only within the last few years have manufacturers begun to realize the money that could be made from the wastes which were formerly thrown away. The late Philip I). Armour is given credit for having utilized more waste than any other industrial king; and so fine was his system tl*at not an ounce of any animal which*was killed in his houses was wasted. Up to the end of January the ex port trade of the United States had increased 13 per cent over the ag gregate for the corresponding seven months of the preceding fiscal year. In that same time, however, our ex ports to China had fallen off 50 per cent. A considerable part of this decline falls upon the southern cot ton mills that had worked up a large and growing cotton cloth-trade with China. The explanation, as is very well known, is that the military op erations in China have stopped trade. The sooner the settlement in China comes the better it will be for the American cotton manufacturing in dustry. The Stomach controls the- sit uation.

Savannah N*twb. Consul General Wildman, who was a passenger on the ill-fa tsd Rio de Janeiro, and who was among \ those who were lost, expressed some views relative .to the Philippines and made a prophecy in respect to China,while at Honolulu, on his way home, that are interesting." ; He said that the Philippine ques tion was practically at an end—that if our soldiers could keep the insur gents in check during the rainy sea son, and he believed they could, there would be nothing more heard about war in the islands. -With regard to China he said: “China will be divided into five dif ferent kingdoms. China was origi nally five distinct divisions, and to those it will again revert. There is absolutely no sympathy between the northern and southern portions of the Flowery Kingdom. In the north a Caucasian’s life is never safe; in the south he may travel anywhere with impunity.” Mr. Wildman had the very best of opportunities for forming an opinion of the situation in the Philippines and in China. He was where he came in contact with those who un derstood what was going on in the islands and the empire. But, assum ing that he was correct in respect to the Philippines, was he not wrong in respect to China? No doubt some of the powers are working to bring about a division of the empire, but are they stronger than those who are striving to hold the empire to gether? It is certain that the United States are doing their utmost to pre serve the empire, it would be unfor tunate for thorn if it were divided, for then each of the powers would, in all probability, exercise some sort of jurisdiction over one of the divis- ious, and would have the trade of that division. What the United States want is a chance to compete for the trade of the whole empire. — It is estimated that approximate ly $4,000,(500 was spent in Wash ington in connection with the inau guration of President McKinley the other day, in one way and another. It was a splendid pageant, worthy of the greatest republic in the world.
