The Treasury Bureau of StatIndex han
JtiHt received a statement of the Hrltlnh
consul at Itanvlona , Spain , which nlupvn
( hat Cuba , I'm-lo lllco and the Philip
pines afforded a nwrket for about llop-
1KK,000 ) worth of Spanish goods an
nually , Culm taking more than one-half
of this amount. Although Spain had a
tariff In the Philippines Intended to pro
mote her trade with the IslandH , her ex
ports to that market were no moro than
lo Porto Itlco , with les-s than one-tenth
of the estimated population of thu
Philippines , It Is reasonably to bo In
ferred from this that the United states ,
with Iho "open door1' policy , wftl not bo
able ( o command the larger fharo of ( ho
Philippine trade , the whole of which
would not repay In a quarter of a ecu.
tury what our government has already
expended ( hero.
Of course , us ( ho Hrltlsh consul saya ,
HpanKh innnnfai lurers and men hauls
are not going to give tip HII-HO markets
without n Htrnggle , but M far ns the
Philippine * are concerned Ameilcan
commercial Intercuts have nothing to
fear from Spanish competition ; U Is the
competition of Kngland , Cerniany and
Japan principally dial -will keep down
American trade with the Inlands. An to
Cuba and Porto lllco there is no doubt
that this country will get by far the
larger wharu of their trade.
UotllitlcsM everybody who has given
Intelligent attention to the matter ban
concluded that HO far IIH the Philippines
are concerned no great gain to our com-
inerco In to bo expected from them. Wo
shall have no special advantage In that
market , hut must compete on eiptal
terms with other countries , and the
countries which have been trading there
will make Htrentiotis efforts to retain
and InereaHo their commerce , it In wife
to predict that American trade with the
Philippines will never reimburse our
people what It will cent lo maintain our
rule there.

WHAT KHALI , ItnUintK Ofr'Tlti : IA < ! OOX }
The question Is frequently asked by
eld/.cim and nlrangern who have viewed
the exposition grounds , What Is lo be
come of the lagoon after the fair
groundn are abandoned and the exposi
tion buildings Hhall be dismantled ?
While It may bo premature to grapple
with this question , It may be In order
to give the nnbject consideration , with
a view lo making llnal action conform
with public sentiment. It may not be
known to everybody that the city now
owns one-half of the tract covered by
the lagoon and the embankment that
surrounds It. That portion has been
dedicated an a public park and will bo
maintained by the park commission for
that specific purpose. The remaining
half of the lagoon Is the property of
Herman Kotint/.e , Under the contract
between Mr. ICountzo and the Trans-
mlsnlsslppl KxpoMtlon the excavated
part of the ground owned by him and
now Illled with water will have to be
restored to DM original condition. In
other words , ( he exposltloii In bound by
a contract to 1111 the excavation to Its
original level -whenever the ground in
abandoned by It , unless , Indeed , the city
shall acquire the ground and the park
commission should decide to retain the
lagoon feature In Konnt/.o park.
It in to bo hoped that .Mr. Konnt/.o
may HOO hlH way clear lo making a do
nation of his half of tlio lagoon tract to
the city for park purposes. In con
junction with the ninff tract , which
ought to be acquired by the city , either
by purchase or exercise of the eminent
domain power , these grounds would for
all time remain as one of the mont at
tractive features of ( ho park H.vslem of
Omaha.

A. Holcomb has placed himself In a verj

ot possible candidates of the fusion party ,
unless they want to nominate a man whc
will need moro defense limn they are pre
pared to give him. Mr. Holcomb when gov
ernor of this Btato charged and received
( contrary to law ) $51 n month ns house
rent. Governor Crounso would not receive
one penny for this purpose. Dut now It
iippeara that 'Mr. ' Holcomb paid only $30 a
month house lent , iind the natural ques
tion Is where did the balance go to ?
I'nlli City Journal : It Is generally under
stood that the state pays the governor's rent ,
bo it much or little , but Mr. Holcomb drew
$ .10 per month for rent nnd paid the pooi
woman who owned the house $30 rcnlnl and
put the other $20 down In his Joans. There
cannot bo any money drawn from the state
treasuiy only upon warranl drawn by Iho
auditor , and his authority for drawing such
warrant Is by voucher properfy made oul and
sworn to , stating for what purpose It wns
drawn. Now It looks very much ng It Mr.
Holuomb had misrepresented things fionio-
what when ho told Iho rtalo that Ills
monthly rental was $50 per month , as he
must have stated In his voucher filed with
Iho auditor nnd then only paying the land
lord $ .10 per month.

lompt of the poor state house ofllclals to
steal a couple of miprctno Judges in 18U7.
Si's name was connected with the steal and
lie Immcdlalely wrote the committee that
lie wanted a chance lo ho heard. Ho was
nstnntly accommodated by being subpoenaed
to nppear and tell all ho knew under onth.
All nt once Hon. SI discovered ho had
turned Quaker nnd could nol testify under
auth , especially bcforo a republican smell
ing committee that the governor had at
tempted to shoo off by vetoing an appropria
tion to pay them for their work. Bo ho
ivroto another letter Indignantly denying the
right of the committee to exist or call lila
royal highness before It. Perhaps ho was
fearful hu might have to face his landlady's

Veto of thr Ilonolndon of Thnnk * .
The following Ui an editorial taken from
the Manila ( Philippine Islemls ) Tlinea of M j
17 :
"The Nebraska legislature recently passed
a rc. olutlon thanking the First Nebraska
volunteers for gallantry In the Meld north
of Manila. The governor of Nebraska Is n
rabid Ilryanlte nnd vetoed the resolution
solely for Iho sake of being 'agin * the gov
ernment. ' Ho gives n his reason that he
thinks the war , which started AS a war of
humanity , has nuw degenerated Into % \rar
of conquest. For thai re.t. on he decline * lo
thank Iho soldiers for obeying Ihelr order *
so gallantly. This only shows what petty ,
paltry , ridiculous nonsense itomo men an
capable of In the excitement ofpoHtlcrU
rancour. Presumably 1ho governor ot Ne
braska thinks lhat the soldiers , when
orcdcrcd lo advance , ought llrsl lo hold a
debute on tbo question as to whether they
consider Iho movement Is justified or nol.
Perhaps when Colonel Stotsenberi : felt fa
tally wounded In the execution of his duly
and cried out to bin men , 'Go nhcad and
never mind me ! ' perhaps Governor 1'oyn.
ter thinks they ought to have held n commll
lec meeting at this stage of the game nnd ,
Instead of being the First Nebraska volun-
leer regiment , Ihcy should have lurncd
themselves Into the 'Lasl Nebrankn Debat
ing society.1 Perhaps , too. at Iho moment
when Colonel Funston nnd bis men i > wam
across Iho river under flro and ran Ihe
gauntlet of Maxim ciin play In order ( o
take ( ho rebel trenches In flank perhaps
just then It would have been moro fitting
to hold a political discussion on the ethical
aspects of the case. Perhaps nl the moment
when General Kgbcrl was shol through the
heart and wan saying , with his lasl breath ,
'Go on hoys ! I nm done ! ' perhaps tbo gen
eral did wrong lo say lhal ; perhaps he
should have said , 'I call Ihe meeting to
order. Lei us Hit down nnd think Ihls Ihlng
out. Let us have Ihc opinion of Mr. Ward
Pollllclan on the white man's burden , iho
consent of the governed and the Inadvlsa-
btllty of spanking children. ' And , perhaps ,
when General Otis given directions ns to
what Is to bo done next , the orderly who
takes ihe command from him should argue
the polnl with the general. We would Ilka
to sco Mr. I'oyntcr como hero and try It on.
