of this particular incident, but
also as to the possible results in.
future international affairs in
which the United States may fg-
ure.
Ever since Thomas Jefferson in
the early days of the American
Republic put an end to the at
tempts of NJ. Edmund Charles
Genest to enlist the United States
as an ally of the first French Re
public, the policy of the United
States has been one of strict neu-
trality toward all warning ma
lions. Jeffersons policy was most
unpopular at the time, since the
timely assistance of France was
in a large measure the weight
which turned the scale in favor
of the American colonies in their
struggle for independence; yet
the people of the present day can
appreciate the wisdom of Jeffer-
sons action. Later, when the
Spanish dependencies of South
America threw off the CALLING
yoke of the mother country, we
find the same strict neutrality
meeting favor with American
statesmen, although popular SYM
pathy leaned strongly toward Civ
assistance to Spanish America.
Although the Republic of La
Plata, now Argentina, had main
tanned its independence since
1910. in 1918 President Monroe in
a special message to Congress
stated that the Stage at which
revolutionists had a right to de-
mand acknowledgment by neutral
powers was when the indepen-
dence is established as a matter
of fact, so as to leave the chance
of the opposite party to recover
their dominion utterly desper-
ate." And it was not till 1922
that the Spanish American repub-,
lies were recognized.
Texas might possibly be cited
as an exception, yet in 1886 Presi-
dent jackson withheld from hast
lily giving Offense to Mexico by
recognizing plenipOtentiaries OF
the revolted state, Eat least until
the lapse of time or the course OF
events shall have proved beyond
cavil or dispute the ability of the
people of that country CTexas) to
maintain their separate sovereign
ty and to uphold the government
established by them"
'In view of the generally ad-
mitted fact that the Cuban Re
public, as President Cleveland
stated in his message, exists
"only on paper" the conservative
Senators of the United States are
taking a great responsibility upon
themselves in seeking to force
the President to take a step which
will at least seriously threaten
war with an European power-a
weakling, to be sure, but never
theless one of the jealous Euro
pean family. With the Senate tax
ing the initiative in such radical
action, it is not probable that the
which the older and more
conservative body will give can
be overcome in the House of Rep
Intervention for the
Cubans is urged on the grounds
of humanity, and although the
plea from this standpoint is popu-
lar and catchy, the ultimate OBJ
ject of those fathering the move
ment in Congress must be to as
sure American suzerainty over
Cuba, which is the only outpost
of the Gulf coast that has not
been gobbled up by nations less
desirable as opponents than is
Spain. Recognition of the insur-
gents means Cuban independence,
and independence gained under
such circumstances will lead to

is not enacted to check the growing
influence of wealth and circum-
scribe the power of trusts and mo-
nopolies, there will be an uprising
of the, people before the century
closes which will endanger our in
stitutions." This letter, coupled
with the positive evidence that the
administration will attempt to
make an antitrust record before
it goes out of power, has awakened
the press to pour in volleys all
along the line. The discussion
lacks none of the sharp intensity
that characterized the campaign
Just closed, and although the trusts
seek to hush the matter, it is a
question which will not be hushed.
Secretary Francis assertion has
been commented upon by the New
York Sun as ''the chatter of a
fool, sentimental anarchy and ire
deemable fubdub." He has been
accused of crying wolf when no
wolf was at the door or anywhere
in sight. That the danger is in
deed close at hand and demanding
immediate attention is brought out
in a terse editorial comment of the
Chicago Journal, which pays the
following tribute to our old friend
the Sugar Trust: rs there a man,
woman or child in all this land
who can get a pound of sugar from
any other source than the trust!
If there is, we would like to see
him, her, or it. Now, the trouble
about this particular trust is that
it not only monopolizes every
pound of sugar in the United
States, but it so manipulates Con
gress, legislatures and courts that
it is able to override the will of the
people or prevent the will from
finding expression at all. If there
ever was humiliating scene per-
formed on this earth it was when
King Havemeyer of the Sugar
Trust informed the Senatorial COM
mittee that he gave thousands of
dollars to the managers of each po-
litical party for campaign purposes,
with the understanding that legis-
lation favorable to the Sugar Trust
should be made. And to rub it in,
he asked what the committee was
going to do about it"
What is said of the Sugar Trust
is doubly true of the Standard Oil
Trust that brushes every competi
tor, the Whisky Trust, the Wall
Paper Trust, the Coal Trust, and
almost innumerable combinations
of similar character who have a rec
ord for raising prices and control
ling markets. Closing its review of
the trust record, and replying to
the query, "What have the trusts
done~ the Journal asserts: 'They
have done the country, they have
done the people, they have done
the law, they have done the
courts, they have done everything
standing between themselves and
their Unsuitable greed"
Hawaii has an omen ODnOnent- in
The Hawaiian gazette., 1897-01-05

Hawaii has an open opponent in
the Sugar Trust, and although the
Chicago journal puts the case
somewhat radically, there is no dis
counting the influence which this
particular combination can, in an
indirect way, bring to bear upon
the question of annexation. 1t has
all the power which money can
furnish, through the purchase of
able talent to plead its cause. And
though it will not dare appear
openly in the fight, the Sugar
Trust will be on hand to raise every
possible obstruction before those
seeking to place this country safely
within the fold of the American
Union. Hawaii must then be pre-
pared to meet it at every point;
this Government must have advo-
Gates, of It's cause ON the ground,
prepared to meet the opposition;
it must also take care that the
policy pursued shall be one which
will allow no possible advantage
being gained by a thrust at the
loophole of special TERMS" since
these special terms" might be
stigmatized as un-American, with
eclat to temporarily ex-
cite popular Suspicion and disfavor,
and cause serious if not dangerous
delays. 1t is best not to accept too
much for granted-not to place too
much confidence in the strength
which we believe our friends can

attracted men of small means,
and especially in the districts of
Hawaii the lately arrived Ameri-
cans and not few Europeans are
building up an industry which in
time will add thousands of dol
lars to the wealth of the nation.
Best of all, the men at work on
these plantations are of the stur-
dy, hard working type that acts
as a tonic to a population that
might become Orientalized if the
greed of the Eastern races were
given full sway.

A Prophecies COMPOUNDED.

One of the most diverting tales TOLD
in connection with the art of anagram
making relates to certain Dame Eleap.
or Davies. wife of Sir Joshua Davies
says writer in Lippincotts Magazine
She lived in the time of Charles and
was constant croaker and foreteller of
evil. At length she made herself so oh.
noxious to the government that she was
cited to appear before the court of high
commission. She fancied that she was
gifted with prophetic powers, because
the letters of Eleanor Davies formed the
anagram Reveal, o Daniel" This was
not good anagram, as it used the ''l"
twice and did not employ the "s' at all.
She resisted all the efforts of tho
bishops to bring her to reason, but was
at last entirely defeated by witty
dean, who hoisted her with her own
petard by making another anagram, not
SO complimentary to her prophetic in.

so mad a ladiep This caused her IN
doubt the reality of her own inspiration.
and so utterly disconnected her that no
more was heard of her.

Ooings at Lansing.

The Detroit Evening News calls atten.
ton TO the fact that but few star actors
succeed when they add the Office of man
ager to their hstrionic duties. Upon this
ground they think that Governor Pin
gree should employ manager to work
out hts ideas an that if he did so, much
OF the conf lsor which it says now ex SITS

Ii would look as if there might be some
sense in the idea.
The house made another attempt to

Rep. Colvin, farmer, says that there
are forty farmers in the legislature and
that they farm the farms, but that the
other members, whom he calls "dudey-
dude chaps" farm the farmers and he
wants them to settle down to business.
1t is stated that the jnnketing tours
are not costly TO the State, as railroad
aud sleeping car accommodation az well
as the liquor and cigars consumed on the
trip are supplied Co them without cost.
Surely the railroads and Others who sup
ply all this expect to- get some return,
probably IN the shape OF favorable legis-
lation.

supposed that the act OF 1877 provided

A move, which appears to the NEWS a
good one, is being made to submit the

posed. $500. does not appear too high.

Davey and Thomson
Each Capture An
Event.
At the Park Rink Last Night.
Davey Took the One-M Mile and Thorn
son the Half MiIo-At the Places
OF worship Tomorrow.

The two races at the Park ice rink last
evening resulted just az predicted in yes.
terday's News, Davey winning the one
mile race and Thomson the half.mile
event. The races were both close and the
greatest excitement prevailed during each.
The first race Tor distance of one mile
was not called until nearly 8 o'clock.
Both skaters went off evenly at the pis-
tol shot and for the first five or six rounds
kent exactly opposite each other. Then
DaYey's endurance began to show up TO
advantage aud he began 20 forgr stead
lily ahead. At the tenth lap Thomson
made spur5 aad began to gain little,
but he soon fell back again aud DAyey
came in nearly a quarter OF Lap ahead.
Two stop watches made the time exactly
3 minutes and 30 seconds.
The ha.t-mile race was called about 40
hour latter and the skaters got away ia
good shape. Ihe race Was one spurt
from beginning to end AMI after the third
or fourth lap was very evident that
the race was Thomsou's. At the fifth lap
his gain was quite noticeable and when
the race ended at the half mile mark be
was SOME little distance ahead. The
time was l minute and y seconds
Frank Koblhaas acted as starter in both
races, while the judges we're Josiah Har-
per, Martin Messner and Chester Noise.
Each skater picked his own Judge and
the starter chose the third. Neil Hume
and Al Schneiderhan were tellers aud |
Will Monroe acted az time keeper. The |
time in both events ia considered good, |
but the ice was never ia better condition
this winter and the skaters had every ad- |
vantage.
When the mile race was won by Davey
there were a few murmurs Of fake and
when Thomson won the second race fake
was openly charged. Both skaters deny
that such was the case and each claims
that he skated his very best in both the
races. Thomson simply said that Davey
defeated him fairly and was therefore the
faster skater in the mile race, while he
claimed TO be the better man in the half
mile event. 1t is pointed out that Davey
has always been better in a mile than a
shorter distance and that the reverse has
always been known to be the case with
Thomson.
Several Lake Linden people who have
money up on the race between Baibeau
aud Thomson, which takes place next
Wednesday, saw the race aud openly
stated that Thomson would have TO do
better work next week than he did last
evening to defeat Barbeau. They will
make extra arrangements Tor the race at
the Lake and the management of the
rink will do everything possible TO pre-
vent any violation OF the agreements, as
some OF the Calumet people appear to
think is intended. Considerable money
changed hands on last evenings races.
