formed in certain directions. The idea
has been put afloat that in anneXing
the islands class of Asiatic voters
would be introduced. 1t has been con-
tradicted again and again, but still
it crops up. There are no Chinese or
Japanese voters on these islands.
There were few under the Monarchy,
but under the Constitution of the Re
public there can not be any voters of
this class. In annexing the islands
there would be no complications in
this direction.
Moreover, hawaii is looking to doing
away with the Asiatic labor. The eX-
pertinent of cultivating the planta-
tions with white labor is to be made.
Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald is as
sisting in this cause and has made an
able report on the subject. That the
plan will be success few people
doubt who give the matter proper
thought. The ideals of the islands are
changing and day by day they become
more American. They are prepared
for annexation and will prove a salts
factory acquisition as soon as the
United States gives the word.

HOPE FOR THE FUTURE.

As time goes on and the subject is
more and more made familiar to the
members of Congress and to the peo-
pie of the United States, the chances
of annexation are increased and till
annexation comes, there seems no
wish to abrogate the Treaty except by
the beet sugar men and the Sugar
Trust There is every prospect now
that the section expressly eliminating
Hawaii from the operation of the du-
ties in the Dingley bill will be restored
when the bill comes up for discussion
before the Senate.
This gives the islands a breathing
spell till the regular session; but the
main object of annexation must never
be lost sight of. Annexation is vital
to the future prosperity of the islands.
Without annexation, as has been said
again and again, the islands are any
body's meat, and they will probably
prove acceptable food for some one
who will prove very unacceptable to
the people of these islands or to the
people of the United States.
The annexation movement is find
ing friends rapidly in the United
States. 1t is popular thing with the
mass of the people, and it is decidedly
in favor with the Executive. Upon
this point several members of the Cab
met have freely expressed themselves,
and, indeed, one of them said, not long
ago, Hawaii must be ours"
To obtain annexation needs strenu-
Gus efforts upon the part of all who
are interested in the cause to break
down prejudices which have been

THE EASTERN MIDDLE.

The concert of the Powers, as it is
called, is the most pitiful exhibition
of discord that has ever been dis
played. 1t is really pitiful to see what
they have not done and what they
have not done. All Europe was ringing
with Armenian massacres and the
Powers looked calmly on, while
mild protest against the unspeakable
Turk was made, and sort of ''you
do that again and see what you will
get" sort of air was adopted; but the
Turk got nothing and enjoyed his
career of riot and rapine, as only
Turk can truly enjoy it.
Then the unfortunate Cretans, who
have been in chronic state of revolt
against their Mussulman conquerers
since the year 1921, made Il gallant
effort to throw off the yoke, and were
making some progress, when in rush
ed the Powers to the defense of the
ing the Cretans and incidentally to
blow up few of the patriots with
their shells and sink trading schoon-
er or two. Everything was to be con-
fined to Crete.
But everything was not confined
to Crete The Greco-Turkish war
broke out Then the world was told
that little blood letting would do
the two nations good; but Turkey was
not to be allowed to take any terri
tory or get any money indemnity.
And now we see the phase of the
bloodstained farce, where Turkey is
demanding an impossible war indem-
nifty and large slice of territory,
while the Powers, like a set of old
women, are cackling and protesting
against the excessive and unaccept-
able" conditions and vaporing about
''practcal measures to preserve Greece
from the pretensions which threaten
her national existence" The words
sound very well on paper, but who is
going to take the practical measures:
the wrangling doctors, who spent
some hours in quarreling over the
course of treatment to be adopted
and when at last some line was finally
agreed upon, they discovered that the
patient was dead. BY the time it is
agreed upon what are "practica
measures" Greece will have ceased tC
exist and the Turk will beonce more
using the marbles of the Parthenor
to make lime.
If the European concert" would
break up and the Powers shew theil
hands, there might be some shew fol
the unfortunate Christians under
Turkish rule; but as things are now
the Turk and the power behind him
simply plays one off against the Other
and comes out on top every time.

The japanese controversy needs no
further comment than has already
been given. We have to await the re-
ply of the japanese Government. I'm
til that is received comment would be
but idle speculation. From remarks
made by the japanese Minister in a
reported interview, it would seem that
his instructions are to withdraw I'M
der certain circumstances, but it is
understood that those circumstances
have not occurred, and they may not
occur at all. 1t is unfortunate that
the ultimate result should have been
alluded to at this stage of the pro-
ceedings, in that it looks somewhat
as a covert threat that could not be
used in a diplomatic note.

The beet sugar industry, which was
progressing in Canada during the
years of 1896 will collapse this
year, as the chief producer has sold
his plant to an American syndicate,
who have removed it to Rome. n. Y.
The object of the Canadian effort in
beet sugar was similar to that of the
United States, viz: to make the coun-
try Independent of the foreign arti-
Gle. In Canada the manufacturers of
beet sugar received bounty of
little over one cent a pound. The
largest amount of beet sugar raised
was in 1895, when 773 tons were put
on the market and the bounty collect
ed amounted to $4,000 The industry
has thus made very little progress in
Canada in spite of the bounty, and
will, this year, be hardly noted among
the manufactures of Canada. But
the beet industry in the United States
will be pushed very much more vigor.
ously than the Canadian has been.

Gloucester Is seeking to reclaim its for
mer glory and profit, principally the latter,
in the fisheries industry. 1t is fish town.
pure and simple, but while hundreds of
vessels sail from that port in quest of
fish, the city gets little benefit from Them
The Gloucester schooners of the better
class are among the finest fishing boats in
the world. To build and fit them costs
10000. Heretofore they have come into
the port of Boston and sold their fare
They are fitted out in Boston. Their sup
plies for the next trip are bought in Bos-
ton. and it is in Boston that the crew
spend their money All this means hun
dreds OF thousands of dollars in the course
of year. Gloucester naturally covets
this, and to obtain it the owners of vessels
in that town and the fish dealers have
consolidated and have decided that here
after all of the fish caught by vessels sail
ing out of Gloucester will be landed at
Gloucester. 1t Is estimated that the
Boston of about 100 fishing vessels The
city Will continue to be fish market,
however. the fish being forwarded there
from Gloucester by rail. Not the least of
the proposed advantages that will accrue
from the new movement Is the regulation
OF prices for fish. AS the business stands
at present there is no association that has
any control over the. business, and the
fluctuations and cuttings in prices have
knocked out profits for the fishermen.

put the railway rolling stock of the United
States on normal basis of efficiency or
ders this year will have to be given the
shops and factories for 2,342 locomotives
91,246 freight cars and 5,4OO passenger
cars. During the past nine months of the
current year locomotives to the number
OF III have been ordered. freight cars. 81
200. and 179 passenger cars Only "a rail-
way companies have ordered new engines,
ana the freight car orders have been placed
by about the same number of companies
About one-third the number of locomo-
lives have been ordered that should be
built TO thoroughly equip the roads. The
freight cars which have been ordered are
less than one-third the number which esrI-
mates designate as the requirement neces-
sary to bring equipment up to a proper
standard. Orders are about one-third the
number built in 1890. The Lumberman
adds that thus 1t can be seen that the
prospects for work In the car factories
for the remainder Of the year are good

nographers and type-writers. If every
young woman would take the right care of
her distinctly maidenly self, this complaint
would never be heard. The woman who
suffers from weakness and disease of the
delicate feminine organs is untitled for her
duties, either in the house or in the Office.
Young unmarried women, especially, do
not like to confide their troubles of this
nature to their home doctor. They shudder
at the thought of the examinations and
local applications to which they may have
to submit. These are entirely unnecessary,

confidence. Dr.. Pierce has been for thirty
years chief consulting physician to the In.
