BETTER OUTLOOK IN TIKI
STATES.
BETTER

The great rise in wheat and the
signing of the tariff bill, make a
better Feeling in the States. The
rise in wheat, is of course, the main
cause of the improvement, be
cause it brings money into the
Country, and is something better
than swapping conditions among
farmers and merchants. The
worlds misery, is Americas oppor-
tunity. The short crops in the
great wheat producing countries
make Americas profit. The Rus
sian peasant goes hungry, and
the Italians on the steppes of Ar
gentina are driven to the wall.
But it is the turn of the American
farmer. Next year, probably, as
the seasons go ON, and the rains
fall, the conditions will again
change, and the American farmer
will cry out against the pauper
labor of the world. When the Crea-
tor permits a drouth, and the
"pauper" has to starve, then the
good famer is thankful that he can
compete with the pauper.
For the time being, the lessons
taught bv the agriculturist writers
viii be forgotten, and the diversi-
flying of crops be abandoned.
The rise in the price in wheat
will stimulate railway traffic, and
the roads viii earn some dividends.
This will stimulate speculation,
and the stock markets will be busy
again.

ENGLISH SENTIMENT.

Public Opinion London) quote
freely from the American paper
ON the question of annexation. L
tries to furnish the opinions OF
both sides of it. 1t makes no quo
tations from the British journals,
because they take little interest in
the subject. 1t is very certain that
Lord Salisbury's indifference about
the annexation movement would
provoke criticism and vigorous de-
nunciation by the opposition Press,
if the British sentiment was AGAINST
annexation. The fact that the
British Press discuss the matter
with little interest shows what the
national sentiment is.
No doubt the average intelligent
Englishman would say, if he were
familiar with the history of the an
neXation movement: Brother

No great danger would arise, we
presume, over an incoming force
of coon-cats, but some steps should
be taken at once to equalize the

America. Any thoughtful person
must see that three Heading men"

COON-CATS.

We publish in another column
an item regarding the coon-cats,
owned by the late F. P. Hastings,
and recently presented by his wild
ow to the Metropolitan Club in
Washington, D. G. These curious
creatures appear to be exclusively
Maine product, but they are not
the entire product of that State,
through which runs the mellihuous
Androscoggin river. For it has, by
descent, given a President to this
Republic, a Minister to Washing
ton, and, a strange coincidence, a
Minister from Washington, and
the late Mr.. Hastings was also a
Maine man. Suspicious people will
become alarmed at once at this
threatened invasion of Hawaii by
Maine men. Is it merely coinci-

| it more profitable to bring his help
down by rail. He paid much bet
ter wages, and got much better
service. We know that the owner
of the Hygeia Hotel, at Old Point
Comfort, Va, where scores of col
ored domestics are employed,
thought seriously, several years
ago, of bringing white Swedish
help from Minnesota. Many of
the Swedish girls are employed in
the South. In the Northern cities,
female colored help is refused in
many families, owing to its low
moral tone. AT the same time, ex-
cellent colored help is sometimes
obtained. But cases of this kind
are rare.
Those who are educating the col
ored people, believe that in due
time their standard of morals and
industry will be raised. 1t is
gigantic work. The negro must
advance or the people of the
South will be subject to hurtful
overhows of barbarism. When the
character of colored domes6cs is
it is with the knowledge
and belief that the negro can and

NEGRO DOMEsTICs.

If any persons choose to try ne

after fair warning. 1t is about as
absurd a proposition as it would be
to import camels for the tram-cars.
There is an excellent hotel near
Lake Kissimmee, Florida; the pro

MR.. HATCH.

Mr.. Hatch strikes one of his
''bases" again. In many ways, his
presence here will do good. He
has been long enough in Washing
ton, and become familiar enough
with the current of political
thought there, to make as close an
estimate as an outsider can make
of the probabilities of annexation.
Perhaps he has better knowledge
of many phases of the matter from
the Washington standpoint, than
many of the old political leaders.
We presume, but do not know it,
that he will return to Washington,
and if there is finish in the an
fight, he will be in it.
The country cannot afford to let
him remain here at present.

WHERE ARE THE VOTERS?

The registration lists show that
less than 300 men will cast the
entire vote Of the Republic in the
next election. This fact is signi-
icant. 1t cannot be concealed. and
it will be freely used in the coming
debate of the American Congress.
He Is assuredly a short sighted
man, who believes that the enemies
OF annexation will not promptly
use it. In the fourth district of
this city, less than one-half of the
vote cast at the last election by sup
porters of the Government, has
been registered for the next cleo
ton. In other districts the falling
off Is large but not so remarkably
great. The natives have generally
refused to register. So has that
large and important body, the Por-
tuguese.
Without discussing the causes
which prevent native registration,
we believe that it is safe to say.
that the natives will not register
until the question of annexation is
settled. Whether they an indifer-
snt or not is another question. Of
course, great efforts might induce
a native registration. But the
efforts viii not be made, we feel
confident.
The attitude of the Portuguese
IS also significant. They are friend
" to the cause of annexation, be-
yond doubt. But they fail to give
positive support to the cause. The
reasons for the attitude they take
viii be discussed hereafter.

THE BRITISH IN CHINA.

In spite of the vast efforts of the
| British to establish trade with Chi
ma, there are, says the Hong Kong
Press, only so British commercial
firms in the latter country. There
are is Chinese ports open to Brit
Iish trade, and in only II of them
are found British subjects engaged
in trade. "The Chinese trader finds
himself in the enjoyment of all of
the commercial privileges con-
ferred on foreigners by treaty"
| The British merchant does not
reach the consumer, and he mainly
imports on the orders of the Chi
nese merchants, who control and
understand the wants of the con-
Isumers.
The amount in value of the
British trade with China is vastly
greater than that of any other ma
ton, but in spite of so years of
active effort, only an insignificant
number of commercial houses
have secured a foothold in that vast
country. Even in Hong Kong,
which IS a British colony, and the
great distributing point in South
ern China, the number of native
Britons is insignificant. The Chi |
nese quickly learn mercantile bust
ness, and extend their operations to
London and Paris.

Americans, British and Germans,
which created and supported the
revolution has decreased in num-
bers. 1t has in fact increased.
But it has failed to register, and
why has it failedl There must be
an adequate cause for it. Many
OF the voters on the old list failed
to pay their taxes. Various reasons
are given for that. Indifference,
due to the general tranquility,
is another reason urged for this
failure. A considerably large
class of men neglect registration in
all communities, unless some peril
is imminent. Many of the old
voters it is said are dissatisfied with
the Government, and are not in
touch with it, except in the single
matter of annexation. This is the
history of all communities. Many
men believe that governments ex-
ist only to ''give them a job" If
there is no job, then there is no
support.
The disadvantage of zone party"
government may now be seen.
Among those loyal to the Republic
there is, as yet, no distinct division |
on party lines. The Government |
has it, therefore, all its our way. I
1t need not undertake the arduous
work of rallying its supporters.
One supporter is as good as ten
thousand, when there is no oppo-
sition. So far as local government
is concerned, the absence of party
opposition indicates general salts
faction with the administration.
