right to enter Pearl Haibor Hawaii offered
it once before, but after it was examined by
our engineers the government concluded it
did not want it, The fact is, Pearl Harbor,
as it exists at present, is practically WORTH
less. Before it is good for anything long
coral reef which stretches across its en-
trance must be removed at an expense of
several million dollars. This work, of
course, the United States will have to pay
for. Furthermore, Hawaii cannot guaran-
tee the exclusive use of this harbor which
she cedes. If the English and German fleets
should see fit to enter it she could not drive
them out, and the burden would be thrown
upon the United States with the chances that
it would be greater one than our govern
ment would be able to bear.
The best thing to do with the Hawaiian
treaty is to abrogate it. We made bad
trade, giving great deal and getting Moth
ing. The concession Of Pearl harbor does
not help the matter any. On the contrary,
in certain contingencies it is likely to i'm
pose new burdens

THE HAWAIIAN TREATY.

The reciprocity treaty with Hawai- cost US
about twenty-three million dollars in duties
RENTED on sugar, for which we got no
equivalent, directly or indirectly. Inc peop,e
of the Pacific coast have had to pay as much
for sugar as did the people of the Atlantic
coast, notwithstanding the sugar consumed
by the former came in duty free, and that OIL
the latter was taxed. The dement's Oh tle
arrangement have all been reaped by inc
English and German sugar merchants anu
planters of Hawaii. The time has now ar
rived when we can give the one years no
tice necessary to terminate the treaty. The
Ways and Means committee of the House

hesitating to follow suit because OF new
concession which the Hawaiian government
Is ready to make to secure an extension OF the
present arrangement. This concession is the

WHY NOVA SCOTIA WANTS TO Sc.
CEDE,


When the province of Nova Scotia entered
the union its debt was $5,0ooOoo The debt
of the Dominion is now $3.50, 100000, and No
va Scotia'S proportionate part is 2s,0o0,000,
or over $50 per head for every man, woman
and child in the province. The province is
now paying interest ON $19000,00 0more than
at the date of the confederation, which
amounts to $4,000 per annum, and on ac-
count of the increase of the tariff it is now
contributing besides this to the Dominion
revenue nearly 81, 600, 900 annually. The No
va Scotians claim that for this enormous in
crease in burdens they have not received
any equivalent, the railway from Truro to
the New Brunswick border being the only
work of any Importance that the govern
ment has undertaken on their behalf Yet
they have been compelled to pay one-tenth
of the cost of the Canadian Pacific railroad
though they receive not dollars worth Of
benefit from it. Generally they allege that
they have been sighted and ignored, while
enormous sums have been appropriated for
the western provinces of the cost of which
they have had to pay large per cent. Anoth-
er complaint is that the government while
making no effort for reciprocal trade with
the United States, gave away to them for
whole season the free use of the fisheries,
and that of the "a, 100000 which the Dominion
received from the United States by the Hall
fax award, Nova Scotia got nothing, though
most of it properly belonged to that province.
These are some of the reasons why Nova
Scotia wants to dissolve its connection with
the Dominion. Boiled down they amount to
4 this: that Nova Scotia has been pulling
chestnuts out of the fire for the Western
provinces for ten years past and is not SO
in love with the business as to want to con-
tinue it longer. But something more than
Nova Scotia's desire to 60 out is necessary
to accomplish her exit The Dominion gov
eminent must first consent, and the Imperi-
al government will have voice in the mat

EDUCATION IN ALASKA
Hartford Courant.

Why the appropriations committee of the
House should have omitted to provide the
usual allowance for educational work in
Alaska is astonishing. 1t would be regard
ed as an oversight, if it were not certain that
the subject was brought to the attention of
the committee, having been part of previ--
GUS bills. About all that this government
has ever done for the people whom we
ka, has been to sustain few schools there.
Teachers have gone to that distant and
cherries land on the strength of their faith
that the government would support them in
their work. To cut off the appropriation
out of employment, and to do, moreover, a
disgracefu1 thing in the eyes of the Chris
tian world. If the pressure of public opin-
ion is needed to secure so manifestly proper
an appropriation, then it is time public opin-
inn yvnra aroused

The knights Of Labor have followed Mr..
Powderly's advice, and in their general
convention at Cleveland have adopted the
principle that all strikes and boycotts must
be approved by the general executive board.
This action means reform in the methods
of the Knights of Labor just so great as the
diligence with which the principle is adhered
to. 1t is not likely that, in the present cha
s.5tic condition of the order, the separate lodg-
es of the knights can be compelled to await
the result of the impartial examination of the
general executive board. But by a careful
process Mr.. Powderly and his associates may
be able to bring the order into such state
that the principle Gamble applied vigorously.
If that can be done, the days of foolish
strikes and ridiculous boycotts will be over,
and most OF the hostility between capitalists
and the great labor order will disappear.
