WHITES IN THE TROPICS.

The San Francisco Chronicle of the
21st, insists that the white man. does
not deteriorate in the tropics. II re-
views briefly what Englishmen and
other Europeans have done in tropical
countries, and cites the example OF Ha-
wall. 1t alludes by name to some of
the older missionary families, and their
descendants, and gives them fiatter-
ing amount of praise for executive abil-
ity, and success.
AS prophets are without honor in
their own country, the words OF the
Chronicle are grateful to the forlorn
missionaries" who are so dreadfully
prosecuted by the beach-combers and
mosquitoes The beach-combers, OF
|course, will stamp the Chronicle as a
perverted" sheet that has been heavily
subsidized by the missionary families
ito celebrate their greatness. The
Chronicle has flung f1re-brand into
! the dry timbers of our social life.

PAYMENT OF $4,000, 900.

The stipulation made by the Amer
600, 900 to Spain for the Philippines, Has
strictly business side to it. The extra
expense of maintaining our army and
navy is still nearly 81 100000 per day.
So long as peace is not declared, this
expense must continue. Business inter-
ests suffer to an extent that cannot be
estimated
Had Spain refused to comply with
tained the status of warfare, without
any active operations on her part, the
extra expense would soon have reached
$50, O0O, 900 or more. AS business pro-
money, and much of it.
Aside from this view of the case,
there is an ineStimable saving in the
Lives of men. The most fervent pa
triot must be glad that our sudden wal
with a miserably weak nation has dis
closed our own military weakness, due
Ito want of preparation only. Had Il
been a war with any Of the other Eu
Iropean powers, or even with Japan, W.

Ience that would have been appalling

generation will not forget the lesson.

The most singular feature OF the
campaign is the spectacle of body OF
our own reputable, intelligent, and
really honest men, advocating the tax
ing of this particular dose of medicine.
The political parties on the mainland
are solid on this one point, that terri
torial officers shall be appointed from
the territorial residents. This claim Is
due to local pride, and belief that eV-
ery American community, however
small it may be, has within it men VINO
are abundantly able to administer the
local affairs.
When a body of representative men
openly declare that there is no one
among themselves who is capable OF
wisely administering their local affairs,
shey are in the position of the old Eng
fish landlord who jumped up during a
heated discussion with a neighbor and
shouted: .I'll bet you guinea that
