In addition to the railroads em braced In the group outlined In the fote-irolni are a nuinbur (if line' whlrh up to the piesent lime have not been absorbed In any of the groups. Most of these Isolated lines have well detincd leanings toward one or tlie other of the gVoup!-. and logically will eventually be assimilated. It seems finite likely that a. new Kijittp will be foinn-il with I he Santa Vs as the nucleus. The detached roads are the Santa Ft-, thil St. Louis and San Francisco, the Louisville and Nashville, tho Minneapolis and St. Louis, tho Iowa Central, tho Chicago tlreat Western, the Ttock I'liiinl, the Wisconsin Ciiitial, the New York, New Haven and Hartford, the I'.os ton and Maine, tin- Seubo.ud Air Line mid the riant .system. The likelihood that after the group aie Hilly developed, thry will In turn begin to consolidate with one another Is ohm of tin- ptospects that Is Indeed startling, because of the magnitude of the Interests Involved, If for no other icason. It does not follow, us Mr. Sage would have It appear, that the meie fact of railroad consolida tion will awaken public hostility to the rallioads. The feeling of the pub lic toward the railroads Is certain to be responsive to tho attitude of the rallioads toward the public. In most IiisIhuccs the consolidation1! have resulted In Improved service and cheaper rates, and undei these cir cumstances It Is dlfticult lo see what grounds for dissatisfaction will ap pear. Much of ihe talk legmding tho evils of combination In railroads Is all biwh. The managers of the gr-at lines of today realize that the publb Is entitled to consideration and they aim lo give the best service possible. If the combined railroads perfoim their woik better and without dis crimination between the big and the little shippeis, the public will ap plaud the policy of consolidation. Alueh mot o than the ludustilal con-ii-i'ns which have conrolldnted the railroads wilt be able to reduc3 .c.Jiaiges because, while operating ex penses may bo maturially i reduced, theif has .been no great Increase 'if capitalisation as was tho case In tho Industrial consolidations. The atti tude of the people towaid the con solidated railroads can be nude, fi loudly or resentful as the ralltoad jnaimgpia elect. There still seejiw to be u question whether tho uttltudo of the governor of Ohio Is friendly to Jeff lies or Huh tin. Honors Ettrncd.

In the case of General Wood the rejvard comes for Hervlces less distinctly military but none tho less worthy of recognition. In every Instance the nominations laid be fore the senate are of men who have won rank by hard work. The army canteen has at last been abolished. A year or two hence we will know whether the positions taken upon the subject by the president, sen. ret (try of war and nrmy olllrers were erroneous. Agricultural ExporU. w HIL13 THE wonderful growth attendlmr the ex portation of domestic manufactures has some what reduced the relative proportion of farm products comprised In our total exports, the Increase In our ag ricultural exports during the period covered by the present administration has nevertheless bpen most remark able. An analysis of the figures em bodied In the Inst annual report of the secretary of the tteasttiy is well worthy of study. Our total sales of domestic fnrm products to foreign countries during the four tlscal yeais 1S97-1900 aggre gated the enormous sum of $3,18G,000, 000, or close to $SOO,000,000 In excess of the export value for the preceding four-year period. In other words, we received on an average during 1SU7-1000 for products of domestic agriculture marketed abioad nearly ?200,000,000 a year above the annual amount pala us for such products during 1893-1S9S. The agricultural exports of the Cnlted States for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1900. amounted In vnlue to $S 14.000,000, exceeding all other records except the phenomenal one of 189S, whtn a vnlimtlon of $8."9,000,000 was at tained. During the past four years, 1897-1900, the farm produce exported had an average annual value of $797, 000,000, us compaied with only $59S, 000,000 for the prior four-year period. One of the most striking features of our foreign trade during the last few years has been the rapid growth of ex ports to the Oilent. In 1S9G, five years ago, our total shipments of domestic merchandise to Asia and Oceanlca weie valued at $43,000,000, and these exports Included agricultuial products to the value of $9,700,000. During the following year, 1597, the total extiort value rose to $G2,000.000, wblle the amount received for products of the fnim Increased to $15,000,000. Kaeh succeeding year, In like manner, has witnessed further sti Iking gains, until In 1900 our expoit trade with the Orient exhibited an annual value of $107,000,000, Including shipments of faun produce worth $30,000,000. The, giowth of our agricultuial exports to that quarter or the globe fiom $9, 700,000 in lS9fi lo $30,000,000 in 1900 was especially marked, showing a gain that amounted In the brief space of four yeai.s to over 200 per cent. One of the most sti Iking examples of Increase among our agricultuial ex ports to the Oilent Is afforded by the gteat southern staple, cotton. Of this product, we shipped across the Pacific in 1S9 only 3S.O0O bales, valued at $l,rno.OG0, whereas our exports to the same destination In 1900 were nearly ten times as large, amounting to 325, 1)00 bales, valued at over $13,000,000. It Is Interestlntr to note that, with the increased shipments of the raw liber, there was also a marked growth In the exports of cotton manufactures. Inning 1900 our cotton manufacturers shipped over $12,000,000 worth of goods to the Orient, as against only $5,500, 000 worth during 1S96. five years ago. Tho cotton fabrics which were mar keted In the Orient during the past tlscal year formed In value more than 50 per cent, of our total exports of these goods lo all destinations. After cotton, the principal article among our agileuituial expoils to tho Orient Is wheat (lour, I'hc tr.ielr- In tlilH ptoduct hnn been neaily doubled Kinc-o lisfiO. In that year the- KhlpmentB amounted to l.'.'ll.OOO b,tnel, worth .$3,CUO,000, wliercns In 1900 they tenchcii as IiIkIi as l',37S,00O bands, worth over $7,000,000. Utirlnpr the past llscul year the new Island dependencies of the United States Cuba, 1'orto Itlco, the Ha waiian Islands, and the Philippines furnished a market for more than $15, 000,000 worth of our domestic products, manufactured and agricultural. Five years iifro these same Islands pur chased ft 0111 us only $13,000,009 worth of rooiIs. In the four years subse quent to 1S9G our export trade with the Wands mentioned has been more than ttebled In value. A comparison of our total domestic exports for the years 1S96 and 1900 shows that the value Increased In the case of Cuba fiom $7,300,000 to $JC,00O, 000, l'orto Itlco from $2,100,000 to $1,. 300,000, the Hawaiian Islands from $3,900,000 to $13,000,000, and the Philip nines from less than $200,000 to over $2,C00.O00. The gtowth ot our aKrlcul- tui ill exports to (he new dependencies during thefeo yeuts was proportionately as great as that recorded for our total exports of domestic merchandise. Dur ing the tlscal year 1900 we sold to the various Islands over $20,000,000 worth of farm produce, as compared with only $6,300,000 worth during 1896, With Cuba our agricultural export trade In tho period under consideration In creiibfd from $1,000,000 to $H,000,000, with l'orto Itlco from $1,200,000 to J2, 300,000, with the Hawaiian Islands from $1,100,000 to $2,!i00,000, and with tho Philippines from less than $23,000 to M.TOU.OuO. This Increase In what might be called our colonial trade Is Just bes-lnnlng. Ten years hence It will be the feature of our commerce.

Wllhelmlna's realm does not cover much space upon maps of the earth, but the young ruler lion already exhibited strength of character and Indomitable will that Indlrnto her ability to grasp tho per plexities attending tho administering of affairs ot n much larger province. All nations will no doubt heartily Join In expressions of good will for tho world's only queen and her for tunnte consort.
