RECENTLY the New MEXICAN stated,
that an Ohio man had declined an office
rendered him by President Mckinley.
Some caviers and iconoclssts doubted

Judge Day is the man. On being asked
concerning the report that he had de-
ciined the appointment as attorney gen.
eral, he said:
"The president some time ago was kind
enough TO tender TO me the position of
attorney general In the event of vacan
cy 10 tnat office, which, after oonsidera-
ton, have been reluctantly obliged to
decline for reasons entirely personal"

ECONOMY IN POSTAL SERVICE.

For several years past there has been
considerable agitation for changes and
reforms in the postal laws regarding the
transmission of second-class matter. This
class constitutes the bulk of the mail
handled in the service and by the laxity
of the act, the privilege is abused in q
shameless manner, thus adding to the ex-
pense OF the service very large amount.
Hon. E. T. Loud, in an article in the
December Forum has an article which
deals with the abuses of the second-class
classification thoroughly, and shows that
two very simple exclusions from the
privilege of second. class matter would
save the government about $l3,0OO,OO0 q
year. The proposal to make these
changes was embodied in bill which
passed the house Of representatives at
the last session of the Fifty-fourth con-
eress, but failed to receive the attention
Of the senate. The measure will be
again presented a. the December session,
1t is proposed to prohibit the admission
of books or reprints Of books to second
GLASS rates, and to abolish the sample.
copy privilege. The business of the
serial novel has waxed strong under the
favorable provisions of the law; and
many of the libraries distributed in this
form are not of such character as TO
deserve the government subsidy. The
bookseller on Legitimate work pays 9
cents a pound to send IL through the
Santa Fe daily New Mexican., 1897-12-03

dependencies. Those institutions are
perveded all through by the principles of
equality and the habits of self-govern-
ment They do not adapt themselves TO
countries where the population consists
of elements utterly unequal and dis
similar, as is the case in Hawaii, nor to
cases where the American element ought
not to be expected to forego its right to
self-government, but where, nevertheless,
the overwhelming majority of the inhabi
tants, whether negroes or Asiatics, ought
not to be trusted to govern themselves,
much less their white neighbour"
1t is very strange that Americans cam
not govern mixed population! In no
other country in the world can 30 mixed
and conglomerate a population be found
as right here in the United States, and
yet for over 100 years this country has
gotten along tolerably we'll, by letting the
varied elements govern themselves. So
far as the Hawaiian islands becoming de-
Tendencies after annexation, they will
occupy the same position IS does New
Mexico.
Mr.. Brice is also of the opinion that
Great Britain is the only country that has
been able to govern dependencies sue
cessfully, and, from an English position
logically infers that the proper thing to
be done is to let his country take care of
the Asiatios, Japanese and other undesira-
BILE people of the islands. He is also
very much afraid that the annexation of
Hawaii would be descent from the pc
destals hereto occupied by the United
States, as nation of peaceful pursnits
and wealth getting. While he does not
say 30 in 30 many words, it is apparent
that with Mr.. Bruce it ia case of sour
grapes; if possible to be made sour for
this country before the bunch is picked.
The English may not see anything
funny in the position taken by this mem
Der of parliament, but to. the Americans
who understand the situation it will
prove as funny as any joke that has re-.
ceived circulation in the past year.
But just the same the United States will
annex the Hawaiian islands and try the
experiment of governing a dependency.

WHY GERMANY IS ALARMED.

The effect of the Dingley tariff law is to
curtai the importatlons of foreign made
goods, and many of the countries 10
Europe view with grave concern the GER
tainty of the loss of the United States as
profitable market for manufactured
goods of all kinds. Germany is par
tioulsrly alarmed over the situation. So
says Consul Monaghan, writing from
Chemnitz to the State department. Moth
ing 80 disquletipg to trads circles has
happened to Germany in 20 years as this
prospect that 10 addition to giving her
manufacturers a hard competition for
trade in all quarters of the world, the
United States will hereafter manufacture
at home the great bulk of goods which
che has heretofore bought in Germany.
America has always been one of Ger
many's best customers in manufactured
articles. In the September quarter of
1896, II consular districts sent to tbs
United States goods amounting to $14,-
481,4 Ala. In the same quarter in 1897 the
same districts sent $1,ls9 1l2. The aver
age loss all over the empire is nearly so
per cent.
This is what Germanyis is alarmed abo out.
It. is a heavy loss, and it is difficult to see
hoy it is going to be made up by the ex-
tension of trade in other directions. In
losiDg the United States as purchaser of
her sugar, wooden fabrics, pottery, etc.,
Germany must face big deficit in her
customary trade volume. Hence her
anger at the visible effects of the dug
ley tariff. Consul Monaghan quotes the
following as fair sample of newspaper
expression throughout the empire:
"We can break off now because of Amer
ica's inconsiderate, almost hostile action
clause has been violated. The universal
opinion favors retaliation. We use, but
| we do not need, American meats, cotton,
corn and petroleum. We must fight her
inch by inch over every line of goods that
go into the markets to meet ours. The
government must be given full power TO
put reprisals in operation. When the
Reichs and Land Tage get together this
| fall ways and means must be found for
forcing the United States from it's pres
ent position. We must wait and see how
much damage Mr.. Dingley's bill has done
or will do. Mr.. McKinley's bill was as
bad in its way as DiDgley's. 1t did little
real damage"
In country dependent upon the out.
side world for considerable portion OF
her food supplies it is easier to talk about
reprisals than to enforce them. So long
as Germany needs American meats, cot
ton, corn and petroleum and gets then
from us cheaper than from any Other
country, there is not much prospect ot
effective tariff retaliation. That is why
protection in the United States is &c
distssteful to Europe. 1t cannot retaliat'
without hurting itself as badly as 1t hurt
