1.-THE BURGLAR" This enhancing
comedy drama, adapted from Mrs. Bur-
nett's popular sketch, will be the at
traction at the Opera House Friday
night. The piece is unique and oriei-
nal in its construction, and appeals with
equal force to both young and old. Its
incidents are powerful and interesting,
and give unsurpassed opportunity for
good dramatic action. Little Lottie
Briscoe, who plays the child Editha,
completely captures everyone. Her
dialogues show her to be q carefully
trained little artist.

4 VERY PROPER INouLRY

The ways and means committee of the
house of representatives should lose no
time in reporting, and the house should
promptly pass, the resolution of Mr..
Springer calling upon the president for
certain information regarding the fiscal
affairs of Hawaii. The resolution re-
quests that the house be informed as to
the amount of postal deposits and the
debt of Hawaii, the rate of interest they
may bear, when they will be due and where
payable, and the market value of the
bonded debt of that government prior to
the establishment of the alleged pro-
visional government. The president is
also asked for information as to the
amount of sugar which is annually pro-
duced in Hawaii and the amount of
money which will be required to pay the
bounty upon Hawaiian sugar in case OF
the annexation of the islands to the
United States. Further information is
asked as to the probable amount of other
obligations which this government will
incur and assume as a necessary conse-
quence of such annexation.
1t is manifestly desirable that the
country shall know all these facts,
in an authoritative and official
way, before the government takes the
step proposed in the treaty now before
the senate. That convention provides
that the United States shall assume the
public debt of Hawaii and the amount
due to depositors in the postal savings
banks of that country, the aggregate
not to exceed So, 100000. The present
government is required to pay the inter-
est on the debt so long as the existing
conditions continue. 1t may be said that
the government of the United States is
sufficiently protected in fixing the maxi
mum sum which it may be required
to assume, but this is not sat
isfactory. In matter of this
character there ought to be no contin-
gencies. Whatever is done should be
only upon accurate knowledge of the OBJ
legations which the American people
will be called upon to assume and to pay,
for nothing is more certain than that
they would have to pay them If the
islands are annexed. The shrewd
schemers who plotted the overthrow of
the monarchy and had themselves
promptly recognized as successful revo-
lutionists, following this up by hurrying
the negotiation of treaty of an
nexation before the representatives
of the deposed queen could get an
opportunity for hearing, will
have no difficulty in arranging matters
50 that the debt of Hawaii will, every
dollar, have to be paid by the people of
the United States if the island became a
part of the territory of this country, 1t
is important to know, therefore, in ad-
vance of the consummation of the pro-
posed action, just what the amount will be.

grave during all that time, day or night,
despite the fact that 1t was during the ex-
treme cold weather, save for few minutes
at night to go to u neighbor's to get some
food and water. 1t was only after the dog

tho resolution By Mr. Springer IL Is
equally desirable 10 know. The pro-
moters OF the revolution and the men
who are now administering the alleged
provisional government are all largely
concerned in the sugar industry. For the
last two years that industry has not been
50 prosperous as before, owing largely
If not wholly to the legislation of this
country. II the sugar producers of the
Hawaiian islands could participate in the
bounty paid by the United States on the
domestic product the sugar industry of
Hawaii would receive tremendous
stimulus and the men engaged in it
would be enriched to the extent of
millions of dollars. 1t is most desirable
that the people of the United States
shall be informed as to what amount
may be drawn from the national
treasury for the exclusive benefit
of the Hawaiian sugar producers.
Meanwhile there is hardly probability
that the senate will ratify the annexa-
tion treaty at the present session. Oppo-
sition, founded largely on the hasty and
ill-considered action, appears to be
steadily increasing, and those who
should be we'll informed believe it is
already strong enough to prevent action
on the treaty at this session.

OUR RELATIONS UTrH MEx1Co.

An Increasing interest is now felt in
the manufacturing and trade circles of
this country in the development that is
going on in the neighboring republic of
Mexico and the field that is thus being
opened for the extension of our COM
merce by means of closer trade relations
is attracting much attention. Delega
tions of business men from the United
States have lately visited Mexico in the
interest of trade and others are prepar-
ing to do 50. The policy of reciprocity,
by which much has been gained for
our commerce in other countries, has not
yet been made effective as between this
country and our neighbor on the other
side of the Rio Grande, but it is conf
IDENTIFY believed that the growing desire
on both sides for more intimate relations
will soon result in the building up of a
trade that will be mutually profitable.
At present the United States has no
commerce of any magnitude with Mexico
The latter imports annually $37, 7S5, $40
worth of manufactured articles and
food stuffs, but these importations
are mainly from Europe. Practically
all of this large sum should come into
this country in the form of products and
money. Tho leading exports of Mexico,
exclusive of precious metals, are valued
at Sl4. 947 40, and none of the articles
which make up this sum- except hides
and tobacco, are produced in the United
States. This shows how valuable the
Mexican trade could be made to this
country by the application of the princi-
pie of reciprocity.
1t is stated by the Engineering Maga-
zine that the enormous increase of ten
fold in the imports of Mexico in fourteen
years is largely due to the fact that
within that period that country has
undergone her greatest era of industrial
progress and railway construction. This
epoch of railway building is now being
followed by the introduction of iron ma
chinery, agricultural implements and
the use of iron in numberless ways here
tofore unknown in that country. This is
due in great measure to the enterprise
of men from the United States, who
have built factories and established
mining enterprises and public wor ks
! The influx of American capital and en-.
terprise will continue in the future and
will have an important influence upon
the development of q country that is
rich in resources and is destined to be
of great value to the commercial inter.
