THE CABLE.

II Is gratifying to note that Col.
Spalding has begun his fight in the
United States Congress for the Pa
cifc cable early in the session. We
also note with pleasure that he
brings out prominently the Japan
extension which was presented to
this Government by John W. Eos
ter What Col Spalding's chances
for success may be it is impossible
TO tell so far removed as we are,
but 1t Is apparent that his old enc
my, the Atlantic cable combina-
ton, Is in the field and in a meas
ure the old battle will be fought
over again. We have no reason to
believe that Mr.. Spalding has been
asleep during the recess, and it is
to be hoped that his management
Of the cable campaign viii soon
begin to produce successful results.
Although the proposition to
grant a long term exclusive fran
chise to the Japan line did not meet
with approval here, the discussion
Of the matter brought out the fact

No liquor law passed in any
State has been subject to such a
continuous fusilade as the Raines
law of New York. Investigation
shows that drunkenness in New
York City has increased of late,
and the flaws In the "hotel'' clause
have been made more glaring by
a most unusual Interpretation
given by the grand jury. 1t is no.
ticeable, however, that the liquor
dealers are first in the attacking
ranks, and when the matter is
sifted to the bottom it is found
that the fault is not so much with
the law as in the public sentiment
which, as the Outlook remarks.
"corrupts judges and juries and
prosecuting attorneys, who seem
in many cases more anxious to set
the law aside than to enforce it. "

A Princeton mathmatician has
constructed mechanical device for
giving to. a base ball the same mo-
ton impaired when in the hands
of a skilled pitcher. The affair is
not unlike gun in general make
up, and gunpowder is used as the
propelling power. The new mven-
ton is intended as an aid in batting
practice, but when one contem-
plates the possibility of the ma
chine being put into the practical
game it at least furnishes material
for the cartoonist to work upon.

Ir. Armstrong;

Mr.. Armstrong; suggestions
concerning the opposition to an
nexation lately aroused in Califor-
MIA are sufficiently pointed to set
local statesmen and business men
to thinking seriously upon the
question of labor. Undoubtedly
there are many here who will
look upon Mr.. Armstrong; re
marks as being more or less spiced
with displeasure at the lack of at
tention given the report of the
Labor Commission; but the de-
mands of labor organizations in
California, together with the sugar
beet industry claims for protec-
ton, are taking such shape that
they cannot be brushed aside
lightly. Mr.. Armstrong is in
touch with the situation here and
in California, and he speaks adj
visedly.

Notwithstanding the Southern

Notwithstanding the Southern
States cast solid vote for Bryan
and free silver, there have occur
red incidents in Georgia and Ala
bama which demonstrate that the
wild cat finance schemers have
comparatively little power. In the
legislatures of both these States
bills were recently introduced for
bidding gold contracts. The Ala
bama proposition made it unlaw-
full to make note, bond or any
form of contract payable in any
particular money "other than the
general legal tender of the United
States" The legislatures of both
States voted the measures down.
Many newspapers and law max
ers whose support had been given
to Bryan and his monetary fall
lacies maintained that should the
bills become law men with means
would flee from the State as Il
family would flee from smallpox
or yellow fever.

The San Francisco Argonaut de-
votes half column of a recent IS
sue to patting California on the
back for having found a reason for
opposing the annexation of Ha-
waii. 1t refers to the ignorant
masses of the United States and
compares our native population
with the voters who can't read well
enough ito mark their ballots" If
the Argonaut had a thought of
sticking to the truth it would never
make such an unwarranted break
as this. Although the native Ha-
waiian has not reached the heights
of higher education, there are few
countries where the percentage of
illiteracy is lower. When the Ar
gonaut attacks annexation from
"the selfish point of view it then
touches the foundation stone upon
which it bases its fund of argu-
ment.

Hayti always has something de.

his competitor, Manigal, the op-

Whatever Liliuokalani's

Whatever Liliuokalani's plans
may be, she is using good judg-
ment in maintaining a stolid 81
lence toward the public. If she
anticipated that her presence in
Washington would create sensa-
ton, she has already received suf-
ficient advance notice to assure her
of her mistake. One of the bene-
fetal results of her tour is likely to
be a more complete realization of
her own insignificance as a politi-
cal factor. Should she decide to
present her claims, if claims she
has, to Great Britain, there is no
danger that the cause of annex
alton will be injured.

originality in getting rid of dis

MRS. SARAH B. COOPER.

The death of Mrs. Sarah B.
Cooper of San Francisco was one
Of the saddest and most distressing
events that has been chronicled in
the history of California in many
day. Mrs. Cooper has appeared
prominently in public life in many
capacities, and her action has at
times called forth sharp criticism,
but in whatever light clashing fac
tons of ecclesiastical faith may
place her work in the church, the
free kindergartens will stand as a
lasting memorial of this noble
woman. Her work was primarily
among the children of the poor,
and no child of the street was too
dirty or too degraded to be brought
into the kindergarten and be taught
lessons Of obedience and cleanli-
ness.
More than $4,000 children have
been trained and sent out from the
free kindergarten of the Golden
Gate Association of San Francisco,
and not one of all that number has
ever been convicted of a criminal
offense. When it is remembered
that these children were brought
from the haunts of vice and crime,
and that before they were taken
into the kindergarten they had
seen nothing of the better, SUMMER
side of life, it seems little less than
miraculous that such a clean record
can be shown. The police are wit
nesses of her good work, whose in
fiuence extended from the children
to the parents, and many home
in the lower parts of the city has
been made brighter through the
lessons learned by these ''little saw
ages of the gutter"
Mrs. Cooper believed that the
children should be made happy,
and that in seeking happiness their
little minds should be led in the
pathway of pure and holy ideals.
Her faith in her work was I'M
bounded, and it was this which car
ried her safely through the first
discouragements which often stand
in the way of success. Her life of
unselfsh thought for others, her
deep interest in the children is an
inspiration. What she has done
others can do, and in our own land
we have possibly felt. the benef-
cent influence of her great life
work.

CUBAN POSSIBILITIES.

Late returns from Cuba appear

Of doubt that General Maceo was
killed through the base ureachery
OF Spanish generals. The loss of
this noble leader Is IN one sense a
terrible blow to the cause OF free
Cuba. The forces now in the field

At a disadvantage, but the mcreas-
ed sympathy aroused on account
Of the inhuman conduct Of the
Spaniards will in the long run re

alton 10 win. and may finally Sc
cure for the Cubans recognition
from the United States. The act
iyity Of Cuban sympathizers in the
United States gives promise that
the day Of recognition Is not far
of. and that in event Of the Presi-
dents failure to act, Congress will
take the matter out of his hands.
The action Of the Senate makes
II apparent that Congress viii not
act or fail to act upon President
Cleveland's say so. The call for
the data upon which Secretary o.
nev based his report, and Presi-
dent Cleveland the Cuban para
graphs Of his message, calls to
mind the DAYS when Congress took
a hand in Hawaiian affairs. a
good majority In both houses are
determined to obtain official docu-
ments and reports 50 that they
NAV draw their own conclusions.
While II Is not altogether probable
that any drastic measures will be
adopted, the Cuban question bids
fair TO make somewhat disagree
able the closing days of Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration. Republi-
cans viii naturally attempt to
force the matter in order to relieve
the incoming administration. Mr..
Cleveland's immediate friends will
seek to block recognition so as to
relieve him of the responsibility
of possible war with Spain, and
Just at the present time Mr.. Cleve-
lands friends in Congress are not
numerically strong. This is the
purely political phase. Then comes
the fact that the Cubans are shrug-
Cling for liberty, and liberty gain

Of Congress, the continual agita-
ton Of the question and the con-
stant popular contribution to the
Cuban supplies viii put off the
day of Wevler's success. Delays
are dangerous for Weyler and
bring new hope to Cubans, conse-
quently Cuba's prospects for indie
pendence may be regarded as
brighter than ever before.

view. discussion is rife, and the
different Congressional delega
tons are preparing to secure due
recognition for their various dis
tricts. The California delegation
is early in the field, having desig
mated the time when it will give
hearings to the representatives OF
various industries. The beet su
gar producers are making the
best of their opportunities and
will undoubtedly make strong
pull and a pull all together to
obtain greater protection than is
now given them. Their influence
will be a power, since they repre-
sent an infant industry, and by
giving them what they want the
Republican party would regain
much of the strength among the
farming class of the West, where
the Populists and free silver ad-
vocates have made heavy inroads
during the past four years, and
there can be no doubt that the
Republicans will turn every pos
sible stone TO divert the attention
of the farmers from free silver.
President Mckinley will urge a
policy which may be classed as
conservative when compared with
the tariff act of 1890, many feat
ures of which he was compelled
to father contrary to his better
Judgment. McKinley's idea seems
to be to construct a tariff meas
ure which shall assist new indus
tries and give fair protection to
those already established. The re-
mark of Congressman Dingley,
that "the problem is to find the
lowest rate of duty on each article
which will preserve our home
market for the benefit of our own
producers and manufacturers, and
making due allowance for free do
nestle competitions" is undoubt-
eddy a forerunner of the coming
administration policy. The Presi-
dent-elect, however, is a man who
firmly believes in the rule of the
majority, and it is reasonable to
anticipate that he will accept the
measure decided upon by a Re
publican Congress.
Hawaii's principal interest in
the tariff is in the probable
strength developed by the sugar
producers, and its use as Il lever
against annexation. And already
preachers have arisen to declare
that Hawaii's greatest sin is its
ability to produce 100000 tons of
sugar. AS an American colony we
take pride in this fact, and if the
situation is properly set forth be
fore American statesmen they
must see the injustice of con
demning the country for its indus
trial progress. To demonstrate
the injustice of the condemnation
Hawaii's interest in the proposed
American tariff is a very import

afford to send delegation to Con
gress to plead it's cause and fore.
