Many Of those who oppose the annexation
of Hawaii assume that it means the inn
mediate admission. of the island to the
Union with two senators and a representa-
tive. There is no basis for such an assump-
ton. New Mexico was annexed many years
ago, but its annexation did not involve adj
mission to the Union. 1t would be very un-
wise to advocate such a policy. Hawaii
could be much better cared for as a Terri
tory. What is needed is to secure to the
element which now controls the islands and
is friendly to this government the control
of them in the future. If that element does
not control Hawaii the ex-Queen or
younger member of the royal family will
control the destinies of the islands The ex-
Queen and her family are hostile to the
United States, and because of this hostility
not only would our hold upon the trade of
the islands be lost but they would be con-
trolled by foreign power which at some
time may be hostile.
The United States does not need Hawaii
because it has not sufficient territory, but
because it does need the surest and most
economical defense of the Pacific coast and
that Hawaii affords. Further, such defense
cannot be secured otherwise Hawaii in our
possession we have the key to the North
Pacific and a citadel from which a few
ships can defend our coast. This is the chief
reason for the acquisition of Hawaii. In
it's favor there is every argument which can
be offered in behalf of a modern navy. In
deed, modern navy would be worthless
without coaling stations. 1t is not an
answer to this argument to say that we
shall never have war with any nation which
may have large fleet in the Pacific. We
may have war if some other power should
hold Hawaii, as will be the case If the
United States does not take it when it can.
Having it. no foreign feet can be formidable
in that quarter of the world.
The question of annexation is not one of
party politics. but one Of national policy,
and so sound is the policy of acquisition that
the real opposition comes from the Sugar
Trust

NO kNowNorHING PREJUDICE.

The announcement of those who oppose
the educational test for immigrants that it
is inspired by the old spirit of ''knownoth-
ingism'' is very absurd. There is no such
prejudice among intelligent people. All
these years immigrants from Germany,
Great Britain, Norway and Sweden who are
intelligent and thrifty have been welcomed.
Their descendants constitute q large and in
fiuential element in such States as Wiscon-
contributed more to the wealth and thrift
of Indiana than Germans and their de-
scendants. If there were other immi-
grants than those who have helped by their
thrift and industry to make Indiana what
it is, there would be no cause for the pend
ing bill. These, however, would not be pro-
hibited by the Senate bill, since the per-
centage of the immigrants of those coun-
tries who cannot read and write the lam
guage of the country in which they live is
very small. The peoples of northern Eu-
rope are not furnishing the immigrants
row, as they were twenty years ago. They
are of other races, and thousands of them
are not the best of these races. They are
almost paupers, and can perform only the
most common labor. They flock into the
cities and crowd out a better class of labor
ers or force them to a competition which is
degrading. Furthermore. the country has
all of that class of labor and even more
than there is q market for. To permit more
to come into the country is to menace those
already here with pauperism or with the
only lesser evil of lower grade of wages
incident to the competition which comes
with an oversupply.
So far as there is information the men
who are opposing the Fairbanks bill are
those well-meaning but deluded persons who
believe that the interests of labor can be adj
vanced by putting all people on level. We
have risen above the level of the conditions
of Europe. and it is too great risk to put
advantage in jeopardy by forcing the I'M
skilled labor of-the United States into COM
petition with labor which is accustomed to
a much lower and cheaper grade of living.

Bradstreet's Review.

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-Bradstreets of
tomorrow will say: Distrbutive trade
remains rather quiet, mild weather through
out the country tending to check distribu-
ton of winter goods. Prices generally re-
main steady or tend upward except for
some grades of iron, and orders for spring
trade so far received are encourag ing. In
dustrial activity is most manifest at the
West where the demand for iron is very
large. A feature of the week was the plac-
ing Of an order by one railroad for 1OO, 900
tons of steel rails, with smaller orders ag-
gregating in the neighborhood of %, 900 tons
more. Pig iron production is now at an
unprecedented rate, the furnace capacity
being estimated at 100000 tons a month.
AT the South manufacturing activity is
feature, sales of iron being very heavy.
A good export demand for cotton and grain
al steady prices is also feature. At the
East number of strikes against wage re-
auctions are reported or expected in the
cotton industry. Some wooden mills work.
ing on men S heavy-Wear goods are refusing
orders, their capacity being fully booked.
Anthracite coal production, it is hoped in
that trade, will be restricted sufficiently to
allow the advance of 20 to 40 cents per ton
being maintained. The weather has been
provement in the demand developed at some
centers as the week advanced. The rush
to Alaska has already begun on the Pa
cific coast
Freight charters are reported lower Ex-
port trade continues large, a gain Of per
cent. on the total export of breadstuffs. cot
ton, mineral oils, cattle and hogs and pro-
visions being shown both for December and
the calendar year. The recent falling off
in wheat exports proves, as was indicated
last week in Bradstreet's, to have been
due to the usual holiday quieting and not
to any falling off in demand from abroad.
The total export of wheat G1our included
as wheaD from the United States and Can
ada this week amounted TO 166 bushels,
against 3.4Sl 900 bushels last week and g.,
948 900 bushels this week a year ago, 1902, 900
bushels in 1896 and $4,000 bushels in 1885,
Corn exports for the week show a gain
of 900 bushels, amounting to 4641 900
bushels, against 3.l55,000 last week and 81
$4,000 bushels in the corresponding week of
1885,
AS was expected, weekly failures are
slightly smaller in number, amounting to
1923 this week against 1888 last week. 479 in

The State Labor Commission is said to be
preparing statistics showing the number of
men in Indiana who We're out of work dur
and the resultant loss in wages This is
good thing to do, and if it shall have any
effect in lettering men from engaging in
strikes hastily it will be labor well be-
slowed. Such statistics have been prepared
in other States regarding particular strikes,
and in 1895 the United States commissioner
of labor presented some statistics on the
subject relating to strikes throughout the
country. Our State Labor Commission is
now sufficiently well organized to under
take the collection of statistics on the sub
ject, and it has won public confidence to
a degree that will give weight to its con-
illusions. One of the commission is quoted
as saying that the recent strike of glass
workers cost those in this State no less
than $1,50O,0O0 in wages from June to De-
cember of last year. The glass workers are
a numerous class, but that is only one strike
out of many. The long strike CT coal miners
last summer must have cost the strikers
several hundred thousand dollars in wages,
and other strikes would greatly increase
the aggregate loss. The report of the
United States commissioner of labor above
referred to covered the period from 1891 to
the middle of 1894, including the first six
months of the latter year. 1t showed that
during this period there were 1880 strikes,
in which S,714, 406 persons were thrown out
of employment, with a total loss in wages of
$163, SO7, sec. Some of the strikes which have
occurred since the period covered by these
statistics have been more widespread and
prolonged than any during that time. AL
though the statistics are not complete, they
are sufficient to show the enormous loss
in wages entailed by strikes, not to speak of
incidental losses. The labor bureaus of the
different States should make it a rule to
publish statistics on the subject in order
that sensible workingmen may be led to
see the folly of entering rashly upon meas
ures which involve such heavy loss to them,
with often so little compensating gain.

an ALASKAN DISPUTE
IMPORTANT STRIP OF LAND CLAIMED
BY COMMISSIONER SMITH.
American Flag HOisted, but Hauled
Down When Canadian Police Pro-
tested-PropOsed Legislation.

VICTORIA, Jan. 14.-Collector of Customs
Mines is in receipt of a letter from Skag-
uay, in which it is alleged that Mr. Smith,
United States commissioner for Dyea and
Skaguay, claims a strip of land three miles
down from the head of Lake Bennett, which
is near the boundary. as defined by the
United States, and which would give the
United States control of the territory from
the coast to the lake. The commissioner,
the writer alleges, has ordered all locaters
of lots to have them recorded with him. A
party of Americans, the writer says, fol-
lowed the commissioners direction by hoist
ing the American flag just below the police
barracks where the British flag was flying.
The Canadian mounted police demanded an
explanation and after some parleying the
flag was hauled down and an apology ten
dered. The same letter contains informa-
ton that Bernard Moore is having more
trouble with squatters on land which he
claims at Skaguay. Early in the present
month, it is alleged, he turned out with an
armed force and drove squatters off the
land. 1t is also stated that some firing was
done, but nobody was hurt

question. At any rate he declares that he

the report of the scale committee.
Therefor the committee reported, the con-

proceedings were guarded with the utmost

an advance of 10 cents per ton be demand

ferential of cents per ton between the
Ohio and Pittsburg districts be maintained.
There was a lively debate over the ques-

journed without taking any action on the
report, and will begin business at Z o'clock
in the morning in order to close up the work

The Immigration BilI.
iladelphia North American.

Fnlladelpnla North American.
Senator Fairbanks clearly explained the
merits of the immigration bill in his re-
marks before the Senate on Tuesday, when
he pointed out that the measure was not
intended as a panacea for all our ills nor
even a perfect solution of the perplexing
immigration problem. 1t may be seriously
questioned whether we shall ever be able
to hit upon a plan which Will prove salts
factory alike to all the elements which
either favor Unrestricted immigration or
oppose the influx OF foreigners of whatever
character or station. The bill pending in
the Senate, however, does promise an i'm
provement of vast extent over present con-
dltions. Under Its operation a large class
OF undesirable foreigners would be barred
out and the evils which we suffer through
the present immigration system would be
reduced to a minimum AS Senator Fair
banks explained, this will not discriminate
with absolute justice; 1t will not admit all
the worthy and exclude all the unworthy
1t is more than possible that some who will
prove equal to the educational test will, de-
spite this, make bad citizens; and, on the
other hand, that some who are barred out
because unable to meet the educational re-
quirements would make acceptable addi-
lions to our population. For practical pur-
poses, however, the educational test will
be largely beneficial, and as this bill looks
to the improvement of general conditions,
and does not consider individuals, Congress
ought not to hesitate about passing it.

The Board of Education of Philadelphia
has taken into it's own hands the matter
or naming new public school buildings. For
some time past they have been named by
a committee, and generally after some ward
celebrity or local politician who never did
deserve the honor and whose fame was of
short duration. There could be no worse
practice than that Count no man happy
Till he is dead" says a proverb. and it
might be paraphrased to read, count no
man honored till he is dead" 1t is not
safe to erect monuments to living men.
Under the law and practice of the United
StGses no mans face or head can be used
on a government note or postage stamp
while he is still living. Only the dead are
thus honored- Ward celebrities and local
politicians are not generally so superior as
TO eEtitle them TO be regarded as an excep-
ton to this rule. The action of the Phila-
delphia board suggests a change that might
be introduced in this city advantageously.
Instead OF numbering our public school
buildings consecutively up TO forty-two or
forty-three. like pegs in holes or convicts in
q prison. why not name them after per-
sons of state or national reputation-states-
men. soldiers publcists. poets, educators.
authors. Carefully selected names of this
kind wolQd In themselves have an educa-
tional influence They would start inquiry
