Mr.. SPoFFoRD, the librarian of
Congress at Washington reports
that the United States is making a
handsome profit in the copyright
business. The increase in the
number of books on historical and
biographical subjects has been very
marked as has the decrease in
works of fiction, particularly the
works making up the cheap paper
libraries. Articles for newspaper
syndicstes have also come in to
make Up a large share of the copy
right business. According 10 this
report the literary tendencies are
improving. Whether the falling
off in cheap fiction is due to de-
preston among aspiring novelists
or more conservative publishers is
not stated. 1t is gratifying to
know that the trash mongers are
becoming discouraged.

II IS no credit to the mem bers of
the Legislature that through their
kind solicitation the appropriation
for the purchase Of the Bishop
premises on Emma street and the
establishment of the free high
school proposed by the Board of
Education, has been buried till the
next session. While it is possible
for the schools to exist without the
new building, the Legislature is
throwing away one of the best op-
portunities to advance the educa-
tional standards Of this country
ever offered. It would be interest
ing to have some of the arguments
of the opponents of the measure
made public.

JAPAN is laying its educational
lines, particularly among the COM
mercial schools, to develop a ma
ton of linguists. English now
stands on the same footing as the
national language, it's study being
made compulsory. Aside from
this the pupils are allowed to
choose studies for themselves. Of
one hundred pupils in the Tokyo
high school, twenty-five have
chosen French, twenty-four Chi
mes, twenty-three Spanish, eight
German, and seven Russian. Curl
ously enough, Italian, which was at
one time quite popular, has been
dropped. Spanish is said to be
taking its place.

NO EXCLUSIVE FRANCHISE.

There are great many good
things about Colonel Spalding's
cable scheme. He makes a clear,
business-like statement of his case,
and, on the whole, has undoubtedly
given this country more tangible
cable material to work on than it
has ever had before, or is liable to
get in a number of years by its own
efforts. Coming at this time when
the cable plum is ripe and ready to
be picked, Colonel Spalding and
his scheme appear like the right
thing in the right place, and the
natural tendency is to accept the
proposition without asking many
questions. There is no necessity,
however, of the Government COM
hitting itself before the matter has
received thorough public discus
sion.
Hawaii is getting something of
no little value to the country when
it gets a cable to California, to say
nothing of the inter-island line,
but the people of the country are
returning an amount of equal, if
not greater, value when they give
the cable company not only a
bonus of $4,000 a year, but
also an exclusive franchise
for twenty years. And after Hawaii
makes this gift the United States
fixes the maximum rates for mes
sages. The subsidy to be asked of
the United States though about
five times that paid by Hawaii, is
much smaller in proportion to the
resources on which the country
draws, yet we are asked to relin-
quish all hold upon the right of
making prices and so far as future
cables are concerned, deed our
shoreS to a corporation for twenty
years.
No one questions the fact that |
the company controlling the line
from Honolulu to California con-
trolls the cable systems of the Pa
cific. Once this first link is laid,
it will not be long before Japan |
and even Australia and Canada,
particularly the former, will be |
waking up to the possibility of |
making telegraphic connections at |
Honolulu. They turn to treat with |
Hawaii on the subject and find |
that Hawaii has nothing whatever |
TO say in the matter for twenty |
years to say the least. She has
given her rights to corporation,
that is free to charge Honolulu |
people rates on which a liberal |
limit has been placed by the
United States, and holds the
whip hand in making terms
with Australia, Japan or any
other country of the Pacific.
With exclusive rights in these
islands the corporation can
conduct affairs according to the
dictates of its own sweet will.
So far as the subsidy is concern

Whatever IS the condition
of business, trade and COM
merce in the United States eff
fects to a greater extent the
business propects in our Ha-
wall nei.
Something over a year ago
the people in the United States
were suffering from the evil eff
fects Of panic. Banks were clos
ing their doors, business houses
were reducing their force of
employees, factories closed
down indefinitely, throwing
out thousands upon thousands
of laboring men with large
families, who depended upon
the father, and he upon his
work to keep his wife and
children clothed and fed. Des-
perate men kept agitating the
workman to assert their rights,
blaming the capitalists for con-
spring against them; finally
the day laborer began to be-
lieve that he was the only one
wronged, that the capitalist
threw him out of work out of a
spirit of revenge. What was
the result? The boycotting of
factories, still runnings, strikes
and the destruction of property
public and private.
The products of the farms,
mines, plantations, mills and |
factories have all gone hand
inland towards upward prices. |
Cotton, wheat, wool, and other |
staples of agricultural product |
ion have come into increased |
demand at greatly increased
prices. The iron. steel and
coal industries have become
active and profitable, where a
year ago they were nearly
dead. The Illinois Steel Com
pany has advanced wages ten
per cent. which affects some
1000 employees. The Pitts
burg districts show the same
condition of affairs and larger
output. At Wheeling and
Trenton, wages have raised
from ten to forty per cent.
This state Of affairs is pecu-
liar to the United States.
Today from every quarter Of
the country, East, West, North,
and South come the glad It'd
ings of revived business
and commercial prosperity.
After two years and a half of
depression, good times are
coming again.

the Japanese treaty with China
threatens to work serious harm 80 far
