THE quinine bill of the Spanish
government for its troops in Cuba
has already reached $4,000, and
there are calls for more. This is
expensive reinforcement, especial.
ly as quinine can't put the fighting
force into any company of soldiers
compared with the tonic of patriot,
ism that inspires the hearts of the
Cubans. Spain will find that nc
amount of dosing will cure the
malady it has engendered by years
of misrule and oppression.

APRoPos of President Cleveland:
recent order requiring applicants fol
consulships and commercial agents
to prove their efficiency by examina,
ton, the Nation notes the steps
that have been taken during the
last thirty years to improve the
foreign service OF the United States
The first move was in 1864 when
Congress provided for thirteen con-
sular clerks who were to make con-
sular duties a special study. In
1866 the State Department issued
an order requiring applicants for
consulships to present themselves
for examination at the Department.
There is record of one examination
under this ruling. In 1872 consul
lates were placed under the civil
service act of 1871 and made ex-
aminable by commission from
the State Department. This sys-
tenn lasted two years but persisted
owing to the refusal of Congress to
provide an appropriation to carry
out the law. President Cleveland's
recent order is issued under this
act and its results are awaited with
Observation-Disclosures. Remarking on
the glaring defects of the American
consular system the Nation says of
the average consul, at is to be OBJ
served that when Americans arrive
on the ground, visit him in his
office, contrast him with the COM
mercial agents of other countries,
and find where he stands socially
in foreign capitals, the absurdity
of our consular system does come
home to him" The critic shoots
wide of the mark when he makes a
slap at the consular clerks appoint
ed under the act of 1864, as these
men as a rule have been in marked
contrast to those appointed as re-
ward for past political services,
But he undoubtedly voices the SEN
timent Of the majority of the
Americans who visit foreign coun-
tries when he says, Nothing prob
ably has done more to damage our
national business character than
our foreign consuls."

DR.. ARTHUR J. Brown, one Of
the secretaries of the Presbyterian
Board of Foreign Missions, recently
made the following extraordinary
statement concerning missionary
work in Japan: " 1t is.now a seri-
Gus question whether it is worth
while to send more missionaries to
Japan. Ten years ago Japan
stretched out welcoming arms to
the West. There was the mighty
chance to Christianize all Japan
had men and money been poured
in. 1t was lost, and today the
question is trembling in the bal
ance whether or not we shall
withdraw our missionaries from
that country, where no pro-
gress is being made seemingly"
If DR.. Brown continues in his pres
ent frame of mind, we may expect
to hear that he has declared for
turning the whole world over to sin
and the devil. If all the church
workers should sit quietly by and
wall over the mistakes of the past,
there would be mighty little prog
ress in the world. Mistakes have
occurred, mistakes will occur, and
it is by pro6ting by the missteps
that success in the future is as
sured.

Lepers Escape.

About a fortnight ago two native
lepers escaped from the settlement
in Molokai and, obtaining canoe,
set out, as their ancestors did in
olden times, to cross the channel
and make for Oahu. A search was
made for them and one man was
found. He was taken Immediately
to the Kalihi station and will be
sent back. He says he has no
knowledge of the whereabouts of
his companion, no trace of whom
has yet been struck. There will be
an examination this week of the
nineteen lepers now at the Kalihi
station preparatory to removal to
Molokai.

OBTAINING LABOR STATISTICS.

During the annual convention of
labor commissioners and statisti-
clans held in Minneapolis, many
valuable points were brought out
that might be perused to advan-
tage by the people of this country
who are interested in labor prob
lens which in order to be dealt
with properly, are sadly in need of
carefully compiled and exhaustive
statistics.
One of the most useful papers
read was an explanation of the
methods in vogue in the State of
Massachusetts for obtaining an in
dustrial census. Massachusetts,
has the best equipped labor bureau
of any State in the Union and has
set good mark for others to fol-
low. The labor census is taken
annually, and each year blanks are
sent out to manufacturers to fill
out, those failing to respond being
looked after by special agents of
the bureau, In the present census
that is to be taken this year in con-
junction with the State population
census complete information is be-
ing gathered both as to farmers and
manufacturers. During the month
of May the 1000 enumerators, all
picked men chosen by civil SER
vice reform method, leave blanks
with the farmers and manufactur-
ers requesting them to fill them out
and have them ready when called
for in November. All the facts
thus gathered are placed on red,
yellow and blue cards, according
as they relate to the man, woman
or the family, thus giving the
bureau a card catalogue of the
census.
Massachusetts, enumerators are
paid So for day of nine hours and
pro rata for overtime. They are
chosen by a competitive method,
which tests their powers of filling
out blanks with facts from hypo-
thetical statements and also their
power of applying the hypothetical
facts enumerated. Out of the sue
cessful enumerators $50 are chosen
to complete the industrial census
in November. The collection of
agricultural statistics costs about
fifty cents a form and the whole
census about 100000.
United States Commissioner
Wright remarked the necessity of
employing as census-takers men of
intelligence, who would give the
work an undivided attention. The
statistician must analyze, facts and
figures in order to get at truths.
There are certain psychological
elements in all industrial prob
lens which have a great influence
in determining results, and must
not be neglected.

THE call from the Executive to
set apart the 18th OF November as
a day of thanksgiving and prayer
comes home to the people of Ha-
waii with more than ordinary force
this year. 1t has been a year OF
sharp trial in the political and do
nestle affairs of the nation, so
sharp in fact that the most thought
less individual is brought to re-
cognition of the guiding hand of
Providence.

CHIEF CROWLEY, in his report
to the United States Secretary
of the Treasury on opium SNUG
Cling in San Francisco, says
the reduction of the import duty
from $l2 to Sc has caused a
marked decrease in the amount
of opium struggled into that city
also, large increase in the revenue
derived from that drug. The result
is what might be expected. The
tariff is reduced below the pro-
hibitory figure, and, naturally
enough, the importers take advan-
tage of legitimate methods OF bring
ing the drug into the country rather
than run the risk of possible con-
fscation if struggled goods are cap
tured. The conclusion drawn favor
ing the reduction of the tariff are
much on the same plane as the argu-
ments against the prohibition OF the
liquor traffic" Give US free rum
and the people will get better stuff"
1t is a parley with an evil in which
the tendency is for the evil to win.

noint. Among the distinct advan-
tages granted to Russia is the right
of anchorage for her naval fleet at
Port Arthur. If the story OF
the treaty is true, therefore, it
NAV be that the fleet that has Just
sailed from Vladivostock may have
Port Arthur as its destination.
Port Arthur is still in the hands OF
Japan. Should Russia claim the
harbor as a naval station under a
concession from China, granted
while the place is still held by vic
torious Japan, the latter might well
refuse to complete the retrocession,
which was forced upon Japan, it
will be remembered, by Russia and
her allies. France and Germany.
The seriousness of the situation
will be understood when it is as
serted that Great Britain would
certainly encourage and sustain
Japan in this course. While Russia,
France and Germany united under
the leadership of Russia, to force
Japan to modify the treaty OF
peace with China and yield the
peninsula, which Port Arthur COM
mands, and while the three nations
acted together in guaranteeing the
Chinese loan to meet the japanese
indemnity, it is not at all certain
that Germany would continue to
act with Russia and France in the
event of a rupture between Russia
on the one hand and Japan and
England on the other. 1t is more
likely that Germany would join
England, though France and Russia
appear to have formed a permanent
alliance

ANOTHER ATTACK on MONOPOLY,

The latest advance step IN the
war against trusts in the United
| States has been taken by the Attor-
nev General of New York, who has
cited the American Tobacco Com
panv. New Jersey corporation
doing business in New York under
the law of comfy, to appear before
a Judge of the Supreme Court ana
show cause why the certificate per-
hitting it to do business IN New
/ York should not be revoked. The
charge against the American
/ Tobacco Company is that Its
methods of business are con-
trarv to the laws of the State;
"bv reason of consolidation,
combination and conspiracy" the
company ''has been able to con-
troll the market price of the various
kinds of paper cigarettes manutac-
tured and offered for sale" The
question for the court to decide Is
whether a company incorporated in
one State can do business in an
other State whose laws prohibit the
formation of such companies at
home. Should the tobacco trust be
ruled out of New York, the sugar
trust and other combinations will
suffer the same fate.
The feeling against the trusts IN
the United States has been steadily
increasing, those who have OPP
posed them as a matter OF prin-
ciple having been Joined by a
large number OF people who
have been caught financially
in the corners of the combinations.
As is remarked by the Louisville
Journal, 1t is a shallow trick to
incorporate a monopoly in one
State when it is intended that it
shall do business in another. From
whatever source the reform may
have proceeded it will be welcome.
A decision against the trust in New
York need not drive it out of ex-
istence as long as other States may
have more lenient laws or more
officials, but the moral
effect would be very great. 1t would
almost certainly stop the specula-
ton in its shares, and this evil,
owing to the active participation in
it of its chief officers, has come to
be almost as Objectionable as its
business methods"
New York will at least do well
in chasing the trusts from its bor-
ders as, once the work is well under
way, it will only be matter of
time when monopolies, large and
small, will be pursued from State
to State, and finally suffer the
ignominious death of the lottery.
The people have been calling on
their political representatives to
put down the monopolies and have
been met with unfulflled promises.
Should final success meet one effort |
the politicians will be forced to
take up a more active campaign
than has characterized their efforts
in the past.

The current number of the
Handicraft says: Gang labor is,
in its last analysis, slave labor.
A luna is an economic waste;
though white labor is done by
slaves (under contract or other
wise), lunaship is necessary. Ed
ucation, planning an escape from
slavish conditions, aspires to make
the future laborer independent OF
superintendent. In working on
this principle with boys it is to be
expected that at first there will be
a dropping off in the aggregate
amount of labor done. If, however,
there is enough insistence upon the
thorough completion of the work
given to the boy, he will soon learn
that to get satisfactory results he
must work steadily. 1t is results
we are all after, and results tell the
story even as to ways and means
though perhaps not in terms OF
number of strokes or minutes.
Getting good results from boys
labor-because they themselves are
interested in seeking results-is all
a question of wise supervision"

As pumping is one OF the
most common uses to which
wind motors are put, the
method OF communicating
motion to the pump is very
important and has received
our closest attention, and the
defect created in most wind
mills of racking themselves to
pieces in a severe wind has
been obviated in the Aermotor
by means of back gearing, so
that the wheel makes about
three turns to one stroke of
the pump or enough so that
the wheel may run at its natural
speed, unrestrained in any
moderate wind, without doing
violence to the pump or its
connections. This enables us
to give the pump long stroke
insteadofthe quick, jerky, short
strokes of ordinary wind mills.
This means that the valves are
not worked so harshly in open
ing and closing and that the
wear and tear is greatly dimin-
ished, while the piston rod
speed is increased, and conse-
quently the pumping capacity
is increased. The back gear
ing, together with the extra
holes for crank pins in the
crank wheel also makes it pos
sible to use with the Aermotor
any ordinary size of pump
cylinder. If a wind motor is
not sensitive to the direction of
the wind much of its efficiency
is lost.
The ease with which a wind
mill faces up to the wind de-
ponds on weight of the mill,
the kind and condition of the
bearings on which it .pivots and
the comparative leverage of
wheel and tail. In the matter
of leverage, the advantage en-
joyed by the Aermotor over
common wind mills will
be made apparent by the
fact that the center of the
wheel is only twelve inches
from the mast or center on
which it turns while that of the
best known wheel is thirty
inches, requiring as is easily
seen two and one-half times as
long or large a tail to balance
the same sized wheel. The
Aermotor presents one-half
the surface to the wind; it is
that this other wheel
must have five times the tail
surface to make it face the
wind equally we'll thereby
greatly increasing the liability
to wreck in a storm. The
mere fact that we have placed
$50 more Aermotors on the
islands is sufficient guarantee
OF their superiority and desir-
ability by those who want a
motor that looks after itself.

Tennessee Statistics.

In 1860, there were S2,S40 farms in
the State of Tennessee. averaging 251
acres each. In 1890, the number of
farms was double that of 1850, and
little more, being 174,412 averaging 116
acres each. But, strange 10 say, the
valuations of farms in this State in 1860
$27l ,35S,9S5, while in 1890 it was only
S242 ,6O0,5 $40, falling off of more than
thirty millions. The products of nearly
all the staple crops produced in the
State were very much greater in 1890
than in 1860. OF wheat the crop in 1860
was 5,459,268 bushels, in 1890 it was
S,3O0,7S9. OF corn in 1860 it was 52,-
275 ,223 bushels, and in 1890 it was Co.,
635,35O bushels. In 1860, there was
harvested in this State 143, 400 tons of
hay, and in 1880, 630, All tons. In 1860
Tennessee farmers produced 1,1S2,OO5
bushels of Irish potatoes and 1884, ,672
bushels of sweet potatoes, in 1890 the
pAouuNVoh VI iiloh pOIubOeo was ~
1888, 259 bushels, and of sweet potatoes
1878, 1926 bushels.
Census statistics pertaining to poultry
and poultry products are not given as
far back as 1850; but the mum Der of do
mestic fows increased from 3,4S2, ,267,
in 1880, to 1909, ,139 in 1890, and eggs
from IS, ,S47 ,482 dozens in 1880 to 49,
172, 1928 dozens in 1890. The number of
pounds of butter produced in the State
in 1860, 10,017,7S7, and in 1890 it had
increased to 1884, 1897 pounds.
The live stock reports made in last
census, as compared with 1860, show a
large increase IN the number of hores,
mules, milch COWS and other cattle, and
decrease in swine and sheep. In 1860
there were in the State 2,346,321 hogs
and in 1890, 1,925,912. The num-
Der of sheep in 1860 were 1881 and
in 1890 only 540,765. There was less
difference, however, in the wool pro-
duct of the two periods, that of 1860,
being 1,4O5, 1856 pounds and in 1890, L.
S97, 1856 pounds, being a difference of
only little more than 5000 pounds.
This would indicate that the quality of
the sheep had been greatly improved
and that they had been better cared
for. These statistics may prove inter-
teresting to some readers, and they can
work out their own conclusion.
