It will be seen from the table that the Government can by irrigation redeem from desert conditions and render available for farms orchards or vineyards more than 7I,oooooo acres of which I7ooo,ooo in California, and all of them in the vast region of the Greater West which IS so rich in minerals and other resources that 1t needs only good foundation of agricultural industry to enable it to compete with the East in all the elements of prosperous communities
 The people of the United States are rich, but not infinitely The amount of money they afford to expend upon great national enterprises IS limited This being so, no great work can be undertaken til after careful consideration of the cost The peo pie have now before them problem of that kind to solve. It is the question whether they shall employ their energies and their surplus wealth in rrigang the desert lands of the Great West in conquering civilizing and supporting millions of mongrels in the tropic islands of the Orient.
 There can be no question as to which of the two would be the cheaper. It will cost more time, more money and more labor establish order in the Philippines than irrigate the 7ooooooo acres of Western land. The land when irrigated will maintain not only itself but thrifty population of Americans and pay revenue to the Government. The Philip pines, when once subdued, will continue to be pense The issue is of home development against foreign imperialism, and every argument of economy is on the side of home

THE PROTESTS OF THE PEOPLE.

nEPORTS from Washington announce that the 7 ~R President is hearing from the people-remon- strances against the annexation ot the Philip pines coming in every day, and from all parts ot the country, but mainly from New England and the Middle States.
 It is not strange that New England has taken the lead in the contest against the proposed annexation of tropic islands swarmng with cheap labor, for in that section of the Union of the greatest indus tries that of cotton manufacturing is already heavily handicapped by the cheap labor competition of the mills of the Southern States. The New England workingmen very clearly that if wages in North ern cotton mills have been affected in;uriously by Southern labor the competition of the labor of the Philippines will be even more injurious
 In order to obtain the advantage of cheap labor a considerable number of New England manufactur- ing companies have transferred their plants to the South, and others are preparing to follow the example The warning is too plain to be mistaken. The Boston Post, in commenting on it, says: "The wages on which the Fipinos manage to live are small beyond the conception of any laborer or operative in this country How long will it be before industries are taken there, close to the great markets of the East, perhaps to send back their products to supply the home market here?"
 The danger is perceived by all classes of arseeing men, capitalists and workers alike On this issue Mr. Carnegie the millionaire and Mir. Gompers, pres- dent of the American Federation of Labor take the same stand. Both have been earnest in their pro- tests against the scheme.
 Great as is the danger to the workngmen and the industries of the East it is greater to those of California; We will be the first to suffer by any com petition that may arise from the of cheap labor ill the Philippines to supply the American demand for sugar or fruit any manufactured goods which that kind of labor is capable of producing
 ;. In recent address before the convention of the National Grange at Concord, New Hampshire, Mr. Herbert Myrick, after describing the condition of ebor in Hawaii and the rates of wages prevailing there, said. Neither the American farmer nor the American workingman can withstand the competi- tion of labor at such prices" The shrewd farmers of New England agreed with him. Californian farmers are not less intelligent than those of the East From this State, therefore, and from all classes of people, even more than from the East the protests of the people should go to Washington It is our fight more than theirs for would be the first victims of imperialism and coolie labor

TIE CHARITY BAZAAR.

N ITH the opening. of the grand bazaar in Me \AI -chanics' Pavilion for the benefit of the char :. abie institutions and the orphan asylums of the city ali opportunity is afforded to all citizens for the enjoyment of the beginning of the Christmas season iii its dual aspect of season of Christian beneyoEence and of joyous merrynlaking
 The object for which the bazaar IS held appeals to the best sentiments of humanity In the helpfuness of the strong for the weak the robust for the sick tho rich for the needy the prosperous for the suffer ing, and of the general community for children left without father mother to sustain their infancy. there IS to be found true qualification for both the giyer and the receiver. Even among barbarous peo- ples the instinct of this helpulness is felt and the most enlightened and refined nations measure the degree of their civilization by the extent to which that hepuness manests itself in private and in pub lie charity
 Of the enjoyable features of the bazaar it is need less to speak. Whenever the ladies of San Fran cisco array themselves in festal garments and take upon them the entertainment of their friends there is ever pleasure for all who have the good fortune of admission to the charmed company The bazaar like all other entertainments of the kind will be bright with music, wit, beauty and flowers Had it no other function than that of social enjoyment 1t would be well worth the liberal patronage of all
 San Francisco has repeatedly shown lavish will ingness to support prize fights Many sef-respect- ing citizen has paid $2o to two brusers play a fake and defraud the public. It is time to show the better and truer side of Let the Char ity Bazaar be patronzed to the full extent of San Franciscan 1beraity,- glowing with the joy and the sood will of the Christmas season.

WORDS SPOKEN IN SEASON

 The Chicago Journal, for example, in commenting upon the at its first appearance sad The fear that either bubonc plague Asiatc cholera will rav age San Francisco, to which morning contemporary hysterically gives voice. has about much sensible foundation the fear of outbreak of some disease from the moon. There ought to be enough inteli- gence in any wide-awake American community, and doubtless there is in San Francisco to save from panic over anything of that sort
 As the Journal very scnsibly points out there is no really great danger of the spread of Asatic plaques civilized communities where sanitary science is un- derstood and practiced. Eastern Europe is more or less subject the importation of diseases from Asia every year. but invariably the disease dies out before 1t gets far. plague that originates in the burning climate and amid the filthy communities of the swarming Orient spreads any extensive ravage r the temperate zone, where cities well drained and high degree of private and public cleanliness prevails.

THE STATUS OF HHWAn.

| ONFRONTED, as it will be, by many grave | problems arising out of the and calling for
 prompt settlement, 1t Is probable that Congress will be inclined to accept without much discussion the report of the Hawaiian Commission in favor of giving the islands territorial form of government with representation in Congress as in the case Of other Territories.
 Unless all signs fail, however the inclination will probably be baked and baffed in its object by req son of the strong opposition with which the report has been received only by those who opposed the annexation of Hawaii but by many who favored it. The course to be adopted in the of Hawaii will form precedent almost sure to be followed when the time comes to deal with Porto Rico and other islands which may take, and if the is granted territorial government, the others will obtain also.
 The New York Press, strong jingo organ, fa- voring the annexation of everything in sight, balks at the proposition and in discussing the report of the Commissioners says:
 "They have set Hawaii on the way of becoming State, and have thereby set Luzon, Mndanao, Min doro Panay and the rest of the larger Philippines, well as all those West Indian islands which wil long, be clamoring for admission the way of becom ing States For the principle is established of the participation of the inferior of alien dependen ces in national deliberations the practice can have no limit but the interests of such peoples and the agencies of parties The of this assertion will shortly be at hand. Once having admitted the South Sea islander, three generations removed from nibalism, to the House of Representatives how for moment we refuse the boon to his infinite superior, the Porto Rican?"
 It is gratifying to perceive this evidence that the most reckless expansionists beginning to derstand the gravity of the problems involved n the annexation of tropic islands whose inhabitants incapable of sefgovernment When the Hawaiian bill before Congress good opportunity will be offered to consider the whole issue of colonial expansion, and is to be hoped the opportunity will not be lost. Speedy action is of course desirable in most cases but of this importance is not to be railroaded through without debate.
