AS A MILITARY NECESSITY.

Mr.. Hit of Illinois, at one time chair
man of the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions, has expressed the opinion that the
annexation of the Hawaiian Islands is
impracticable. But Mr.. Hitt thinks that the
islands may be acquired and held on the
ground of military necessity. There seems
to be in this suggestion disposition to do
something in a different way from that In
which somebody else had proposed to do it.
The Harrison administration proposed to
annex the islands and govern them as a
Territory until such time as conditions
might warrant the admission of the Terri
tory into the Union as State. The main
inducement to acquire them is their loca-
ton. They are too close to our Pacific
coast to be allowed to fall into the hands
of great naval power. The islands are
valuable for other purposes, but it is as a
military post that they are indispensable.
The Harrison administration went about
the work of annexation in thoroughly
practical manner. 1t proposed to take
possession of the islands and govern them
as other American territory is governed.
Provision was made 10 prevent claims of
citizenship on the part of alien contract
laborers and to harmonic other interests
with the institutions of this country. But
the resent administration undid all that
Harrison had done. The idea was given
out that the acquisition OF the islands for
the purpose of ultimate Statehood was
irregular. Judge Cooley of Michigan was
induced to write an article in magazine,
showing that annexation would be uncon-
stitutional. Other instances of acquisition
of territory were compared with this. and
all found in some respect to be different.
Judge Cooley concluded that as there was
no exact precedent the Islands could not
be annexed. The Cleveland administra-
tion has now come to the conclusion that
the islands may be acquired as military
post. Mr.. Cleveland's craftsmanship ap-
pears to be somewhat of the same nature
as Richard Brensley Sheridan's social
etiquette. When invited by an elderly
British spinster to take walk on a
showery day the wit excused himself on
the ground that the weather was threaten
ing. Later, when the same lady ventured
out she met Sheridan returning from a
solitary ramble. "Ahl Mr.. Sheridan"
exclaimed the spinster. 81 thought the
weather was TOO threatening for walk ?"
Madame" he replied gravely. sit has
cleared up enough for one, but not enough
for two" The Hawaiian Islands may be
admitted for one of a dozen reasons. but

LONG AND SHORT HAUL.

A Mr.. Cowles. said to be we'll known in
railroad circles, has reached the coDclu-
sion that distance should be disregarded
in the discrimination of rates. The rate
now charged for the shortest distance for
any particular service is the rate that
should be adopted for all distances. If by
rate" Mr.. Cowles means the sum or the
entire charge be will have some difficulty
/ n maintaining his position. That this is
what he does mean seems probable from
the following example:
When once train starts from Boston to San
Francisco there is not man living that can
tell The difference in cost of running that train
whether a passenger leaves the train at the
first station out of Boston or goes through from
the Atlantic TO the Pacific Coast
Probably there would not be much diff
ference in the cost of train running from
Boston to San Francisco with one hum
dred passengers and of running one with
min ety-Dine passengers. If one passenger
steps off at the first station the difference
in cost cannot be figured out. But Mr.
Cowles will experience considerable diff
Guilty in convincing railroad men that a
train from Boston bound for NV York
can be continued ON TO San Francisco
without considerable increased cost. That
the long haul should De cheaper per mile
VIII be readily admitted.

IN OHIO.

The most significant of the elections TO
take place this fall is that of Ohio. The
tariff is not only the principal but the
sole issue. Ohio does not know where il
stands on the silver question. 1t has rep
resentatives on both sides and it lets them
vote as they please. Sherman is their
financial headlight. but he has talked so
much on both sides of the money question
that the OHIO mind is daZed. But there Is
no mistaking McKnley's position on the
tariff question. He stands manfully by
the tariff that bears his name.
Mr.. Neal, his Opponent, is as steadfast on
the free trade side. Mr.. Neal is the re-
puted author of the tariff plank in the
Chicago platform, and is not yet ashamed
of his work. There is some complaint in
Democratic circles that Mr.. Neal is not
getting the support from Washington that
the Importance of the election entities him
to. Mr. Neal thinks Congress might have
adjourned and turned its best takers
loose in Ohio. Tom Reed came to McKin-
lays assistance in the face of the fact that
McKinley's defeat would remove this pretty
large maa from the list Of Republican
candidates for the President tial nomina-
tion in 1896. Republican newspapers
claim the State for Mckinley oy 10000,
while Democratic papers are certain that
Neal will have 10000 more votes than are
necessary to secure his election.

A MAN WITH A WILL.

Since the Democratic silver Senators
surrendered to Mr.. Cleveland the organs
of the President have a good deal to say
about his irmness of purpose. Already.
in anticipation of the surrender, New
York admirer of the President asks
"When did Grover Cleveland ever retract
anythingW That question may perhaps
be answered better when Mr.. Cleveland's
term has expired than at present The
chances are that he will be less firm in
maintaining his position OF the tariff
question than he has been on the silver
question. In fact there is much
reason to believe that he was nomi-
mated and elected to establish the
gold standard in the United States. His
first letter on public affairs was a threat
to demonetize silver when he might have
the power to do so. He has been sup
ported in that purpose by the vast and as
yet irresistible power welded by the
Eastern money-kiDgs. Another illustra-
tion of his fealty to the power which
created him is his firmness in standing by
Van Allen. Van Allen was and is one of
the money-kings Some Of Mr.. Cleve-
lands early friends thought the case fur
nished a fine opportunity for a little re-
traction, but be did not EN- brace 1t.

A PONDEROUS LOAD.
Forty Tons of Cable-Rope for ST.
Louis Road.

Forty horses were yesterday morning
required to haul mammoth coil Of wire
rope from the California Wire Works at
n rth Beach down Montgomery avenue,
Kearny, Market, Fifth to King street and
the Southern Pacific Company's fire. light
wards. The cable was manufactured for.
the st. Louis Gable Railway. and is to
be carried to that CITY by the Southern Pa
cific cars. The weight of the coil of wire
rope was found to be 1928 pounds, or
nearly forty tons.
After unloading the cable carted from
the wire works, the employees, under the
direction of Superintendent A. F. Conant.
got to work and placed on the vehicle a
thiriv-teu coil of cabIe-rope received from
San Diego by way of the Southern Pacific.
The cable was manufactured in this city
and shipped to San Diego for use by the
cable company Of that town, but was never
used, the company ordering the same
having suspended. 1t was purchased by
the Geary-street cable line of this city.
Yesterday afternoon the forty horses
hauled it to that company's power-houss
at Geary and Buchanan streets. where il
was left until ready to be stretched in the
company's cable-trench

THE RECOVERY OF ARGENTINE.

Commercial circulars from Argentine
state that that confederation Will export
this year 38, 100000 bushels of wheat. which
is about as much as England expects from
British India. This is doing pretty well
for country which only exported 100000
bushels in 1889. And the significance o;
the increase is augmented by the fact that
only about one-hundreGth part of the
arabic area of the confederation is under
the plough. Almost every acre of the Ar
gentine country from the Atlantic to the
slope of the Andes aud from the Paraguay
TO Patagonia will grow wheat. Nothing is
required but labor.
A British Consul writes TO his Govern
ment from Buepos Ayres that the average
product Of wheat land in Argentine is fif-
teen bushels, and the average cost. includ-
ing freight to Liverpool. is about 81 cents
per bushel. We cannot raise wheat in this
country, except on very large farms which
are worked by machinery, at SO low price
a this. Some of the vast wheat fields in
Dakota. which yield crops twice in three
years, are said TO produce the staple at 30
cents a bushel, and that is the supposed
cost of growing wheat in parts OF British
India.
For the past two or three years public
attention has been directed to the Argen-
tine confede ration by its financial dis
orders. 1t furnished a conclusive object
lesson on the heresy Of attempting to
mobilize land by issuing cedues pred-
Gated on its value; and it managed in six
years to swell its public debt from $780,
000.00O to about S500,000.OOO. The bank
ruptcies and widespread disasters which
ensued are within the memory of all. But
financial convulsions can only retard
for brief period the progress OF country
with such vast resources as Argentine.
With an area half as great as that Of the
United States, 1t has little waste land, ex-
cept ON the slope of the Andes and in the
extreme southern portion of the continent.
The great bulk OF its surface is unduia t
Ing prairie, covered with from three to
six feet of rich vegetable alluvum. On
this prairie IL raises cattle and sheep by
the tens of millions; and as fast as labor
can be obtained farms encroach on the
