AN ALIEN GRADUATE.

Francesca Alcantara, the young Venez-
uelan who was recently graduated from
West Point, has every opportunity before
him for n distinguished career. His fla
ther, who died some years ago, was one
of the most patriotic citizens in the South
American republic. He--served as presi-
dent Of the country. was an able states.
man, and was commander.in-chief of it's
army. AS a thoroughly military educa-
tion is the speediest way to preferment in
Venezuela, General Alcantara was very
anxious that mis- son should have every
advantage in this respect Before he
died he expressed desire that his only
son should he educated Mt the United
States Military Academy and Congress,
at the request of the Venezuelan govern
ment, passed the necessary resolution adj
hitting him to West Point. AS Young
Alcantara is not citizen of the United
States, he will not receive diploma
which would commission him lienten-
ant in the army of this. country, but will
merely receive a certificate from the
academic board, setting forth his qualifi-
cations as student and the fact that he
has passed the standard of proficiency re-
quired of candidates for commissions in
the army. 1t is his intention to return
to his native country and present the GER
tificate Of graduation co President Crespo,
who will give him captain s commission
in the Venezuelan army. He will then
assist in reorganization of that army land
apply the practical knowledge gained at
West Point to drilling and disciplining
the Venezuelan. troops. If he does not
become ambitious for presidential honors
too soon, and cause a revolution, there is
good reason to believe that in due time he
will attain to the honors and offices once
held by his father.

WILL CARRY GUNS.

"While the Republicans may sit silent
in the Senate and refuse to explain or de-
fend their tariff bill, ". said Senator Mills
yesterday. 1--WE can appeal to the tribunal
of the people and we will win. There
will not be IL peg left for the Republicans
TO stand on. We will carry Ohio next fall,
and the next House of Representatives
will be overwhelmingly Democratic.
But" said Mr.. Mills. "our party ought
to stand together. We ought not to be
stampeded by the appeals of the lumber
men or the boraX men. or any other sort
of men into any agreement, for high du-
ties. have been through storm in my
State, which is one of the greatest WOOL
raising States in the Union, ever since
espoused the cause of free.swool. bur, be-
lieving was right, have mot wavered.
The effect of this tariff bill upon the peo-
pie will be seen, however, not in it's high
taxation, but in the way /. buttresses and
fortiiies trusts of all kinds. Some of
these days this sort of legislation will
have to cease or. we will see revolution
in this country. The people will not
stand it. Driven to the wall by the com
binations of money power, they will find
leader, and we shall see another Coxeys
army-but it will be an army" aided
Senator Mills, (Which will carry guns
and use them. Washington Post.

HAWAII AND JAPAN.

Serious trouble is threatened between
Hawaii and Japan, and unless the United
States intervenes in BEHALF of the former
government there is danger that the island
will become Japanese COLONY. Twenty
years or more ago the king of the island,
owing to the difficulties in securing Chi
nese coolies for work on the sugar planta-
tions, made treaty with Japan for the
introduction of laborers from that coun.
try into Hawaii. The japanese there have
greatly increased IN numbers and now
demand the same..rights that are given to
white people who settle in the islands.
Their government has recently made n
demand on President Dole to that effect,
accompanied by threat of rasorting to
force, and poor little Hawaii is now in
serious danger of being overrun hy "the
children of the Rising Sum-
The rulers of the Hawaiian republic
and most of the whites in the islands are
anxious for annexation to the United
States, and. if the worst comes, will an
peal to this country for assistance
Should the latter, they say, he so blind
to its interests in the Pacific as to nav no
attention to this appeal, they will invite
the British government to take posses
sion of the islands, and they are confident
it will gladly do so. This talk of British
occupation is only bluff, for the people
OF the United States will never consent to
such an arrangement, and the Dole PEG.
pie are we'll aware of this fact nor will
Uncle Sam ever permit the lordly and ag-
gressive Japs to assume control of the
islands. The situation may be little
mixed just now, but annexation eyentu-
ally is n certainty.
The United States coquetted long
time before admitting Texas into the
UnionA but when Mexico protested
against this invasion of her rights, war
with this country followed, which ended
in the ABSORPTION of territory many times
larger than the State which was the bone
of contention. So in 1861 when Texas
and ten other Southern States attempted
to set up in business for. themselves, the
Federal government objected and brought
them back by force into the Union Ha-
wai' may find it hard to enter into the
sisterhood of States; but when once she
has Joined the band, there is not the
slightest chance for her to break the con.
tract.

a QUESTIONABLE PLAN.

Our esteemed contempor the
Hampton Monitor, is very much dis
turbed over the actio of the city Demo
cratic committee of Richmond in reuuir-
ing candidates for the nomination of
governor to pay the costs of the primary
for electing delegates from that city,"
'Let us suppose says the Monitor,
THAT the other cities in Virginia initiate
the example of Richmond. Let us sup
pose that the same plan be adopted by
Charlottesville, Danville. Staunton.
Lynchburg, Roanoke. Winchester, Alex
andria, Fredericks burg, Norfolk, Ports.
mouth and Newport News, and by the
counties and lesser towns, too. What
must the result be? Why. simply that
the man with the longest purse would
buy his nomination. And all this from
the Democratic party-the party of the
people the party of equal rights, priv.
ileges, and opportunities for all.'
1t certainly strikes us that the Monitor
has reason for complaint. We do not
know what particular reason the city
Democratic committee of Richmond had
for choosing the plan explained in the
foregoing paragraph, and we should not
intimate without good cause that any
unfair motive prompted that choice. 1t
is our belief, however, that the committee

some other method of holding the pri-
mary. The cost to each candidate who
enters the primary Mt Richmond will be,
we understand, four hundred dollars, and
it is easily seen that, if the same process
should be repeated throughout the State,
avery respectable fortune would be re.
quired to defray the expenses of candi-
dacy. OF course, the Richmond plan may
not in reality be adopted in many places
besides Richmond; but the principle re-
mains unchanged. Norfolk Pilot.

WAR is POSSIBLE.

Those who are clamoring for war with
Spain have not probably taken into con-
siderati~n the fact that in point Of num-
bers the first named country could put in
the field at once ten times as many SOL
diers as this Government could. 1t might
be possible to mobilize about 10000 men
of the regular army and STATE troops in
two weeks; but it would take ut ieas t
two months tc get volunteers we'll enough
trained to take The field. In that time,
however, if necessary the United States
could raise 100000 men, ready to 90 to
Cuba, Spain OF anywhere else that duty
demanded. Spain, TO begin with, has
