We trust that our good citizens
will have the good Judgment to re-
frain from caustic assertions of
what this country will do if the
Hawaiian sugar clause of the tariff
bill is stricken out. The people
of Hawaii must ,Eemenber that
there is not a single statesman in
the United States who can be
frightened by threats,Of what Ha-
wall will do. They must remem-
Der that Hawaii is a little fellow,
the underdog in the fight, and
bristle up as it may 1t cannot
cause an unusual fright in Uncle
Sans official household. The
United States is the market for
our staple product and will doubt
less continue to be whatever the
result of the tariff discussion. We
may talk of an industrial alliance
with other countries as much as
we please, but we cannot get away
from the fact that the United
States is the leading sugar market,
that Great Britain and her Deepen
denotes have industrial depression
and sugar troubles of their own to
look after. One has but to read the
conclusions drawn from the inves-
tigation in British Guiana to be
convinced that Hawaii cannot eX-
pect special favors from British
possessions. Our cause cannot be
assisted by threats or scares. If
the United States wants Hawaii it

Although the election of Sena-
tor Deboe in Kentucky gives the
Republicans of the United States
Senate an additional vote and a
nominal majority of one the sit
ution Is such that a fight ON party
lines is impossible. The election
of Deboe makes the total member
ship of the Senate lightweight
composed of forty-three Republic
ans, thirty-three Democrats, and
twelve Populists and silver Repub-
licans. With Kyle the Republic
ans would have fOrty-four, a tie,
and with the Vice-President, ma
iOrity of one. But the difficulty
does not end there. The possibili-
ty of a party vote, it is believed,
would hurry up the Florida legis-
lature and secure the election of
a Democrat from that State, thus
running the Republican majority,
and giving the opposition enough
votes to kill the tariff bill if they
saw fit.

HAWAII J0TTINGS.

The fate of the plucky little republic
of Hawaii will probably be settled
within a year. 1t is beset with many
difficulties and now that an admins
tration which was VIGOROUSLY hostile
to it has passed into history, the Ha-
waiian republic looks hopefully toward
Washington with the belief that we
will annex it, either as a territory or a
state. The opportunity is afforded us
of securing an important group of ISL
ands whose future under one govern
ment should be bright and prosperous,
of getting the most stragetic position
in the Pacific, whence we could COM
mand the northern portion of that
ocean without cost or serious trouble.
Our decision cannot long be delayed
for the situation as to Hawaii is reach
ing such a condition that we must an
mex the islands, assume a protectorate
over them or leave them to be seized
by Japan.-Union, Springfield, Mass.

WHITE LABOR ARGGaENT.

In the discussion Of white labor
for Hawaii the conditions In
Queensland have often been re-
ferred to- That our planters may
not run away with the idea that
white labor IN sugar cane fields Is
a snare and delusion, we quote the
following from an article on ''The
Industrial Expansion an Queens
land'' published by the Westmin-
ster Review:
'EBy far the most important
branch of the agricultural industry
in Queensland is sugar growing.
Since Miss Shaw, the Special Com
mission of the Times inquired into
the sugar industry here, the condi-
tons have very much altered. Her
opinion that. North Queensland
would in the future have. white
autOcratic planter population, and
black servile race to do the trOpi-
cal field work, is not supported by
recent developments. n large
number of the big plantations are
broken up into small farms of
about eighty acres each. and sold
at easy terms to the white farmers.
"Whereafew years ago there was
a large plantation worked by South
Sea Islanders, there are now
twenty or thirty comfortable
homesteads. And the contention
that White European labor could
not stand the field work is blown
into thin air by the practical ex-
perience of thousands of white
workers all along the Coast.
''The black labor question is set
Ting itself; it is only matter of
time until the sugar industry can
entirely do away with Kanaka lab
or. The sugar farmers are doing
well, and during the financial
crisis, when the prospects OF most
colonies looked black, the prosper
ity of those engaged i'll the sugar
and mining industries pulled the
Colony through. The annual out
put of sugar is 100000 tons.
eff the government would only
initiate a practical immigration
scheme, similar to the Canadian,
and set apart some of these runs
for the settlement of European
farmers, then take a paternal in
terest in their welfare, giving their
good land at nominal cost and
cheap money to make a start, we
should soon have a healthy flow of
new blood from the old countries.
Until we have closer settlement
and denser population we cannot
feel secure from Asiatic agrees

secure his arrest. Pinkerton's entire force
was put to work on the case, and the city
was searched for two days without reveal
ing any trace of the whereabouts of the
missing man. Mr. Macbeth and
Billy Pinkerton went TO the alb
sent managers office TO look over his
books and personal effects in hopes OF
finding a clue. They ransacked private
desk without finding anything 10 which
they attached any Importance, and Pinker-
ton had turned TO leave the room when
Macbeth spied in one corner of the desk a
public library card issued in the name of
the man for whom they were looking. He
observed by the entries on the card that
several books had been taken from the Ii
brary within a period Of a month, and that
the date of the return of one book CORE
sponded with The date of the issuing of an
other. He put this card in his pocket and
left the Office in company with the deIec
tive. After they were in the street, the
detective said:
ny dld you take That library card!'
Il have an idea," Macbeth answered,
"and I want to go at once TO the public
library"
An examination of the card showed that
the missing man had procured fourteen
different books, and a comparison of the
numbers on the cards with the titles of
the books, at the library, revealed the sub
jects he he'd been studying. The first book
taken was entited."A Trip to Nicaragua"
the second, "A History of Nicaragua"
and nearly all others related TO Central
America

kilograms were sent to the Crescent City
giving full descriptions of the man, and
the next day he was arrested in the office
of a steamship company, while waiting for
his turn at the ticket window. He would
have sailed a few hours later for Central
America.

Minister woodford,s mission.

The Madrid correspondents of some of
the newspapers pretend to know the fun
text of a message which they allege Min
lister Woodford has delivered to the Span
fish government According to these corre-
spondents he has informed the govern
ment of Spain that the United States will
no longer tolerate the kind of war that Is
being carried on in Cuba, and viii make a
demand for the independence of the is
land The correspondents say, further,
that the Spanish government realizes fully
the gravity of the message, and is there
fore, fastening preparations for war with
the United States.
1t is safe to say that no one Of the Mad
rid correspondents knows that Minister
Woodford has delivered any other mes
sage to the Spanish government than that
which has appeared in the public prints. If
he has delivered any other message it is
quite certain that it's character is not
known outside of a few officials Of this
government and that of Spain. 1t is pretty
safe to say that the dispatches, which
these Madrid correspondents are sending
to their papers. are nothing more than ru-
at the Spanish capitol.
We have no doubt that the administra-
ton has fully determined to take some
steps looking towards a settlement of the
war in Cuba, but it will move cautiously.
1t doesn't want war with Spain, and it
will avoid war if It is possible to do so. 1t
is possible that it will submit some sugges-
lions to the Spanish government, if it
has not already done so, for bringing the
war in Cuba to a close. The suggestions
viii be of such a character that Spain can
not reasonably take offense at them. If
Spain refuses to accept any of the sugges-
tons 1t is highly probable that the adj
ministration will assume q different tone
towards Spain, giving her to understand
that as she cannot put down the insurrec-
ton she must grant independence to Cuba
or agree 10 such other settlement of the
Cuban trouble as will be acceptable to the
insurgents. The position will doubtless
be taken that enough lives have been sac
rifced and enough property destroyed
without any prospect of bringing the war
to a close. The Mckinley administration
wants the credit of having settled the Gu
ban trouble. and it is going to make every
effort short of bringing about war with
Spain, to get it. II would not be surprs-
ing if it should risk a war, if all other
means fails to accomplish the end it has

A Dangerous Character.

GAS sure as you live there's another
mani" cried the girl in white, delightedly,
as a man with a valise came up the steps
of the summer resort hotel, says the Chi
cago Post.
The girl in the yachting suit looked at
him intently for minute and then shook
her head earnestly.
Don't go near himp' she exclaimed
Don't let any one introduce him to you
under any circumstances! Don't have any
thing to do with him at all!'
But there are thirty-eight girls and
only five other men in the hotel" protest
ed the girl in white. I'VE can't afford TO
be too particular"
"Well, you can't afford to have anything
to do with him." persisted the girl in the
yachting suit.
What do you know about him?"
Il know all about him. 4 met him in
the mountains last summer, and 1 tell
you he's dangerous"
"Dangerousr exclaimed the girl in
white scornfully. He looks about as
harmless as any one I ever saw"
"Well, he isn't" asserted the one in the
yachting suit Hes dangerous, and in
addition to that he's the biggest fool that
ever put on a flannel tennis suit and went
! to the seashore."
"One of the kind that rocks the boat?'
Worse than that. He can't tell sum-
mer Irritation from a case OF genuine
love"
"Really?"
yes, indeed. That's what makes him
! dangerous. Why, what do you think he
wanted TO do last year?"
I'm sure I don't know
He wanted to hold me to a summer
! resort engagement; actually wanted me TO
marry him just because I said would one
moonlight night up in the mountains; and
couldn't understand it when I refused 10
! recognize him after we got back to the
city. Oh he isn't a safe man to have any
| thing TO do with. He lacks experience"
| The girl in white turned away with a
| sigh.
1T seems too bad to let any kind of a
man escape" she said; but, of course,
a man who is absurd enough to look upon
a summer resort engagement seriously
might be very troublesome"

Phmses of Nunrnnfine.

Although the health authorities of At
lanta are satisfied that there is not the
remotest possibility of yellow fever gain
ing a foothold in that city they do not
propose to take too many chances There
fore they have modified their first an
nouncement in respect to the reception
of yellow fever refugees to the extent
that only those refugees who have not
been exposed to the disease will be admit
ted within the eitys limits. This modif-
cation of the original announcement does
not satisfy Chattanooga, however, and the
latter city has quarantined against At
lanta.
If what the experts say is correct, viz,
that a yellow fever germ cannot become
active except in a temperature as high as
20 or 50 degrees Fahrenheit, maintained
continuously for a period of at least ten
days, Atlanta runs little, if any, risk by
opening her doors to the refugees. AT
this season of the year there is no proba-
bility of Atlanta's having a temperature
for ten days as high as 70 degrees. 1t is
not improbable, however, that a case of
fever may develop now and then among
the refugees, but if such should be the
case the disease would not spread.
What Chattanooga fears is that refu-
gees having reached Atlanta, will not re-
main there-that is all of them-but will
go wherever their inclination or interests
lead them, and that some of them will
seek refuge within her limits because
they have friends or relatives or business
there.
If there is any good reason for Chatta-
noogas action In quarantining Atlanta
there is a better reason why Savannah
should quarantine against that city-not
against residents of Atlanta but against
refugees, who find an asylum there, from
the infected Gulf coast towns. We do not
urge a quarantine against Atlanta but
suggest that our inspectors should be in
structed to watch for yellow fever refu-
gees who make that city the starting point
of their travels.

An Excited bridegroom.

A rather amusing incident occurred the
other day on a street car while crossing
from the west to the east side, says the
Portland Oregonian. There was a prospec-
tive bridegroom on the car, and he had
just been across the river to the county
clerks office to get a license and was re-
turning, accompanied by a friend, who
had gone with him to certify that the
bride was of sufficient age to get married
without the consent of her parents IL may
be said that the age of the bridegroom was
20, and that of his bride about 65, so there
was no danger of the witness getting into
trouble.
on the car the bridegroom put his hand
into his pocket to pay for both fares, and
he was so Illustrated over his approaching
happiness that he did not look to see what
he handed the conductor, when, in fact, he
had given him a nickel and IS gold piece
The conductor did not even look at the
money, but passed to the front platform
where a Chinaman was standing. The
Chinaman handed him a 10-cent piece, and
the conductor gave him the s., thinking
he was giving a nickel in change. The
Chinaman pocketed the money without
saying anything. The bridegroom made
the discovery the next day.
