For the week ending March 12, isOK, Chicago made a new record, having shipped by rail I.JX,2JJ2 tons i of freight. This was while the | Leiter wheat shipments were in j progress. This record was broken i during the last week in February, { 1900, when the freight shipments . by rail amounted t o 1212,312 tons. The average farm value of corn in 1891-1 NOG, was 24.(5 cents per bushel. Last year, when the crop was 195,600,000 bushels larger, the average price was cents per bushel on the farm. During Me- | Kinley's prosperity there has been ! a greater demand for this leading ! product of the farmers and at much i better prices. Senator Lodge made an able speech outlining his views on this Government's duty towards the Filipinos and highly endorsing the policy of the Administration. He truly said that "Mr. McKinlev's own policy and his own iicts in the East are his all sufficient de fense, both now and in history." Some of the copperhead papers are shouting gleefully, "The Fili pino rebellion is not suppressed.'' This would be great news to the Democratic party if it were true. Bryan would whoop for joy if the Filipinos should make an onslaught on the Americans anywhere in the islands and kill a few hundred of them and drive the rest of them into Manila or onto the warships. But Bryan will never get a chance to do any whooping on this account. If the copperhead papers have any doubt on this point, let them ask Aguinaldo about it, if they can find him. lie will quickly tell them that the jig is up for him and them.—St. Louis Globe Democrat, ""We are to-day (Jreater A meriea, but that greatness Will be lost if we forget the political philosophy which has made us great—expan sion of American thought, mechan ical skill, civilization and the philosophy of development. Under a destiny unforseen and uncon trolled by us, the power and insti tutions of the nation have been planted in the East. 1 believe that if we do our duty it means not only the elevation and uplifting of the people of that far-oif land, but that it will add to the power and glory of our free institutions and the commercial supremacy of the nation.''—Senator McLaurin (Dem ocrat-) of South Carolina, in the I". S. Senate. The anti-imperialists who have been shuddering al the proposed oppression of the Filipinos by the Administration, are considerably embarrassed at the recent speech of President Sehurman at Chicago. As one of the Philippine Commis sion lie pointed out that the plan of government for the islands which the Commission has recom mended, and to carry out which the President is to appoint another Commission, follows closely the lines of Jefferson's for the govern ment oi' the Louisiana purchase. It will hardly be claimed by the antis that the inhabitants of the Louisiana country were less lit for self-government than are the Fili pi nos to-day. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

Tho divided skirt and the bloomer have had their little day, at least with the French girls. By a unanimous vote the fern'ile readers of a French paper have decreed to oust every style of frock but the old reliable petticoat de sign, and as the French ladies are con ceded to be the leaders of fashion, the decision is final. No reason for this peremptory decision is set forth, of course, but then women are in the habit cf doing things without giving any detailed reason for it, more than the proverbial "because," a word which may be assigned whatever meaning you like. They are not par ticular about that. It may be that woman in her ambition to bo classified with the angel elects tow ear the petti coat merely to detract from the knowl edge that she is only a biped, a hideous clothes peg, like a man.
