Again the pessimist of the freetrade
school are arguing against the devel-
opment of beet sugar industry and
pointing out the advantage Of our con-
tinuing to raise our own acknowledged
staples. One would think that the ex-
listing price of cotton in Texas would
have hauled the Galveston News off
that track, but it has not. All the
same sugar industry will be fos-
tered by government.
Reports made to the Treasury de-
partment show that the otter grounds
in the Behring region are practically
within United States jurisdiction and
will not require the cooperation Of
any other nation in protecting them.
The protection will be ordered and the
offers will hold Thanksgiving over
their deliverance from the tender mer-
cies of the Canadian fur grabbers.

There is not a doubt that the West
Indies, once the source of untold rev.
enue to the countries of Europe that
owned and taxed and drained them, are
degenerating. Impoverishment is upon
them. Cuba is devastated by war,
and has been for half a century OF
struggle with the expressions of Spain.
Natural causes, among them the sap
ping of their sugar industry by the
productions of other lands, have re-
duced the revenues of the other islands
until they do not pay the expenses of
their government. This will go no I'M
til the inevitable conclusion is reached
that these islands are really an integ-
raj part of the American continent and
can only be profitably managed and
governed on this side of the ocean.
To this conclusion Great Britain and
Spain and France and the Netherlands
must come in time. 1t may be a longer
or shorter time, but it is to come. 1t
may be that this present war in Cuba
is the beginning of the end of foreign
occupation of these Caribbean sea
islands, and that the future will see
them under one consolidated and fed
Grated government, their interests and
their trade and their politics one with
those of the republics of the United
States and Mexico.

AS the inside view of the situation 70
matters in Spain is revealed it grows
upon the conviction of all intelligent
consideration that the end cannot be
far off. She is utterly without the
means to recruit her naval strength,
to build the cruisers for which the
keels were laid by the Armstrong;, or
in any way bring up her naval strength
to a position that would give it show
of competition when rated alongside Of
that of the United States. Her army
is depleted. Blanco finds only a beg
carly remnant of the 100000 men sent
to Cuba since the beginning Of hostil-
tiles. There is revolution at home, not
open and direct as yet, but none the
less to be dreaded. The widow of
Canovas is in deadly and open HOSTILE
ty to the queen and will be the willing
subject and agent of any designs that
Weyler may have upon the present
cabinet. Without money, without
statecraft, without men and war mum
itions, without vessels and without
credit, without revenues and burdened
with debt that presses daily, Spain
is not in condition to continue the war
very much longer. This is known at
Washington and upon it much is pre-
dictated.

CUBA IN CONGRESS.

The war in Cuba is going to be the
overshadowing subject in Congress.
Hawaiian annexation is regarded as
practically settled, and as to currency,
the country is not suffering. The
money of the country is more plenti-
full the clearing house receipts show
great gains, the reserves in the inter-
ior banks are growing, mortgages are
being cleared off and the people are
better satisfied with the finances than
they were a year ago. What legisla-
ton is needed in the improvement of
the currency will not be Of a radical
kind, and as it is not probable tina.
greenbacks will be retired there will
not be a great general interest in this
particular subject Of legislation. 1t is
not so with the Cuban question. This
presses upon the mind and patriotic
feeling of the nation all the time. 1t
is stirred to activity by the daily press
reports of transactions over there and
the desire of the nation is for the
speedy release from the burden of
Spanish occupation. In this condition
of the public mind, every movement
of Congress with reference to Cuban
aaffirs will be watched with the most
intense interest and the sensation of
the session is going to be Cuban recog-
milton. 1t Is almost certain that the
United States will not add materially
to the naval police force now main
tanned on he Florida and Gulf of Mex
leo coast, and filibustering will grow
more active as the war progresses.
Cuban junta is more thoroughly ac-
quainted with the means of securing
men and munitions than they were a
year ago, and the United States SOL
diers who incline to aid in freeing Gu
ba are more hopeful of results and
will cross over in greater numbers. A
situation of the most interesting kind
not to say sensational and thrilling
thus presents itself, and the country
will watch with the keenest anxiety
the movements in Congress. 1t is
predicted that Speaker Reed will do all
in his power to defeat the considera-
ton of Cuban recognition in the
House, but there is point at which
Mr.. Reed will stop and that is the
plain demand of the people.

1t is hard for the average workman
to understand that there is no such
a thing as having money without CIV
ing moneys equivalent. Where there
is something to bring money into the
pocket there is no scarcity of the ar
ticle. The Texas cattlemen years ago
had hundreds of thousands of cattle
and were poor, because their cattle
would not bring money in the markets
Of the country. Today these same cat
tlemen are minus thousands and tens
of thousands Of the hundreds they once
had and are not poor, because their
cattle are worth top prices in any mar
ket. Supply and demand rule the
market of the world. Labor is subject
to the same conditions. Shut out the
labor Of the foreign farms and looms
| and you raise the prices of production
at home. 1t is as easy as a sum in
simple addition and subtraction, il II
is not muddled with distractions.

THE LIGHT BOOK TABLE.

Three delightful little volumes from
Scribner make their way to the Light
table. "a Capital Courtship," 1.-THE
First Christmas Tree" ''Mrs. Knollys
and Other Stories" The first two are
peculiarly appropriate to the season.
"A Capital Courtship," is a tale of
Washington, congressional life. 1t is
well told and shows some of the lights
and shadows of the life of national
representatives and their families. 1t
is thoroughly up to date, being a
story laid in the last days of the
Cleveland and the first of the McKin-
ley administration. 1t is cleverly
written and nicely illustrated, the il
Illustrations being from life and repre-
sentative of some of the chiefs of the
nation.
''The First Christmas Tree" is tale
of the eighth century. The scenes are
laid in Thuringia and in the borders
of Saxony. The burden of the narra-
tive is how, Winfried, of England, in
vaded the strong hold of the Saxon
heather, turned aside the stroke of
the Hammer of Thor when it was
raised to sacrifice a human child to
the anger of the God, cut down the
sacred Thunder Oak" of that heath
en- ritual and substituted therefor a
Christmas Tree" 1t is quantity IL
Illuminated as well as illustrated and is
a nice presentation volume for the
Xmas times.
MRS. Knolly's and Other Stories"
is from the pen of that well known
short story writer, F. j. Stimson. The
| scenes are laid abroad. To review 1t
1 within reasonable space, is impossible.
To sum it up is to say that it is pre-
eminently readable. There is nothing
dull about it. Its language is its
best and only illustration. Just the
volume to catch UP between whites and
spend delightful half hour over then
| and now.

The tramp, like the poor in the gos-
pei, are always with us. 1t is hard
lines to see these peripatetic philos-
ophers going around hungry and bed
less. 1t is equally hard to see the earn
ings of honest labor practically con-
fiscated to feed these ablebodied men,
who have constitutional pre-disposi-
ton to work. The golden mean will
be reached when the tramp is housed
and fed at public expense and put to
work on the roads or city streets to
pay for his bed and board.

self into fever over the approaching
