Annexation and beet Sugar.


AS to beet sugar interests, 1 may say that
the industry has been brought to standstil
by the threa tening demands for territorial
introduction of Cuban sugar into this coun-
try will be the death knell of the beet sugar
interests OF the United States. The annexa-
tion of Hawaii is severe blow. but its
effects can be overcome. We opposed the
annexation of Hawaii because it means to
perpetuate the reciprocity agreement under
which Hawaiian sugar is now admitted free
into this country Hawaii can produce but
a small proportion of the sugar needed for
American consumers. but the free admission
of Cuba will be practically turning over the
any recompense TO the poorly paid half
breed sugar producers of Cuba. with whom
no American farmer could venture TO COM
pete.
/ cannot understand how farmers of this
country can for one moment entertain a
proposition intended to deprive them of all
possibility of profit in one of the most valu-
able crops they raise No one will put
money in beet sugar factories while the
over US The question must be settled be-
cause the suspense is almost as bad as an
neXation would be. Gn the other hand
should the question of TERRITORIAL expa nsion
be decided positively by the announcement
of a determination to abide by our tradi-
tional policy and TO refuse to be tempted by
such dangerous gifts as cuba and the Philip
pines j believe the beet sugar industry will
begin to expand not only in Nebraska but
sugar culture and that together with en-
enlargement afforded by the present tariff
the American farmer will soon be able to
supply the entire American market

ACTON.s LARGE ATTENDANCE.
1t Was a Surprising One for the Clos
ing Day.

The attendance on the last day of Acton
camp was gratifying as we'll as surprising.
There were about two thousand on the
grounds. The general expectation was that
not half that number would come. Almost
as many came by train as on the Sunday be-
fore, and the collection of rigs on the hill
side would have done credit to a county
fair. Superintendent Hodell explained the
size of the crowd by venturing the opinion
that the majority of the people do not come
to hear speakers, but merely to put in a
pleasant day in good Christian company
under the trees. Those who think that it
takes strong programme to draw a crowd
were somewhat nonpulsed, but though no
one seemed to care much whether there
were any special attractions at the taber-
nace yesterday, yet the sentiment is in ia
vor of a more elaborate programme next
year. DIR. DashielI says that more money
will be spent to provide entertainment ard
profitable meetings next year than has been
spent for some years. The, camp meeting
proper will come first next season, and fol-
lowing it there will be three instead of two
weeks of assembly work.
1t was one of those quiet days yester-
day despite the crowd, and despite the fact
also that cigars and some Sunday papers
were sold Over a thousand cigars were
sold on the previous Sunday. and the sales
yesterday promised to reach nearly as
much. Ice cream soda was also in great
demand as well as peanuts. Aside from
thus indulging the appetite the people spent
the day in promenading, and no one seems
to mind the fact that it was one of those
off days so far as the tabernacle was
concerned. A photographer who was on the
ground helped TO relieve the tedinm, felt by
some, by going about taking pictures of the
pretty girls He took upon himself ia ther
large Undertaking, as there was an I'M
usual number of pretty girls in camp. a
fact commented upon by many. IN their
summer apparel they presented a gay APP
pearance. and their presence made he day
a lively one.
The march around Jericho, the rite with
which the camp IS closed, took place 6 bout
9 O'Clock in the evening. A jubilee service
was held In the tabernacle previous TO the
march, and at it's close. with Rev. Mr.. Hart

An Advocate of Education.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
In an editorial of June %: entitled, IAN
Unjust Proposition you criticise "a promi-
nent and influential educator of this State"
who declared that because the rich have
money to educate their children the State
is under obligation to extend like advan-
tages to children of the poor" You are right
IN calling this an unjust proposition, since
that is not the reason why the people of
state educate them. We educate, in the
language of Plato, ITO dwell in a land of
health, amid fair sights and sounds; that
beauty, the effuence of fair works. will
meet the sense like a breeze, and draw the
soul into harmony with the beauty of rea-
son. However,, several of your Statements
are more illogical than the one you criti-
else. You say, Human beings consult self
interest, and bemoan the powerlessnesS of
education TO root this evil from the mind
referring to this gentleman as an instance
IN point; then you state, as the prime rea-
son why we do not need state university,
the fact that many universities are already
accessible. Now. would it not be a greater
example of despicable self interest for this
State not to provide suitable schools be-
cause they are expensive, and then to use
the advantages that neighbor States af-
ford? Whatever argument we can bring to
bear against own university would ap-
ply to all of them. If state universities are
good things in themselves, and only bad for
Indiana because expensive she must stand
among sister States. as one whose influence
is harmful when she neglects or denounces
her own.
Also, you claim tnat 'nlgher education
(whatever that means, since education is
only development, perfect or defective). is
not necessary to good citizenship" your
reason, because compulsory education ends
before the age when pupils enter the high
school" Here you have mistaken the object
of the compulsory law, and also. why il is
not enforced for longer period. If / rightly
interpret the purpose of the law it is to
restrain the neglected portion of our youth
during the more plastic period of develop
ment and even then, some are restrained
for a longer period in certain state institu-
lions. but it is hoped that in some cases
this fourteen years will prove sufficient to
start such persons right toward good citi-
zenship. The better educated our citizens
become the larger our hope for the per-
petuity OF the Republic, for our statesmen
spring from our citizens. Our high taxes are
not due to the burden of our State Univer-
sty, but TO our system of taxation and TO
mismanagement of public moneys. Switzer-
land. the land of model schools, where they
pension old teachers, has the graded system

He Got the Dried Apples.

The vice president of the Red Cross,
American branch, Mrs. j. Ellen Foster. tells
an amusing story of Our Teddy" while in
Santiago. He appeared before the headquar-
tiers one day with, moving request for
some deicacies for his men. His appeal met
with the reception it deserved. and he was
promised that the next carload should con
tain some of the luxurieS craved His
meaning had apparently not been grasped,
and he FASTENED TO explain that the luxuries
nominated in the bond were no other than
dried apples, so that the Rough Riders could
have some sass like their mothers used
to make. Much amused the committee
promised he should have all the dried apples
he could use on the next trainload. Still,
he was unsatisfed. He wanted the apples,
but he wanted more-he wanted them at
once. But, surely, Colonel Roosevelt. you
don't want to take them yourself" Yes, /
do" answered the gallant colonel. The last
seen of him he mounted ON a horse
galloping back to his cavalry, his coat deco
rated with stripes and 'fxins" and over mis-
shoulder hue bundle of dried apples The

THE PLANTERS AND THE IN.
DUSTRIES.

1t is one of the endorsements of
the situation here, that the planters, on
business and selfish grounds, will OPP
pose the development of small indus
tries over the Islands. Of course there
are always exceptions to be. made in
generalizing. For there are some plan
tiers who would not oppose the estab-
lishment of diversified industries.
But the average planter will reason
in this way: $50 long as the cultiva-
ton and production of sugar is the
main industry, and upon which the
laborers must rely, the rate of wages
is largely within the control of the
planting interest. The establishment
of other industries may create diver
sion, especially if it happens, that the
returns from any of these new indus
tries are larger to the laborer than the
returns from plantation work. Why
then should the planting interest en-
courage the establishment of that
which may seriously iniure it?" The
argument is, from the ordinary bust
ness point of view, sound one. We
can hardly expect the planting inter
est to move in such matter with any
more alacrity than the small boy who
is directed by his father to go into the
garden and cut switch, which is, he
distinctly knows, to be used about his
own legs.
1t may be said in reply, that diversi-
fed small industries that give employ
ment to women and children, will fav-
orally affect the condition of the lab
orers on the plantations, by increasing
their home comforts. This might be
so, in some cases. But we accept it as
fact, that no class of laborers are, on
the whole, very much in love with
plantation life, and will escape from it,
whenever better opportunities are Of
fered. We are not criticising the plan
ting interest for this condition of
things. The same conditions exist in
nearly all of the agricultural portions
of the United States. The whole ten
dency of modern education, and senti-
ment, is towards independence upon
the soil. Any new agricultural indus
try that enables man to become his
own master, is movement hostile to-
wards penal contract labor or cheap
labor.
We should be surprised therefore if
the planting interest became enthu-

EXPERIENCED FIGHTERS.

Anyone who looks over the register
of the American navy, will see the
names of many men who, in the Am
erican Civil war, saw hard and desper-
ate fighting at the forts below New
Orleans. in Mobile Bay and elsewhere.
While these men were young and held
no superior rank, they learned much,
with great rapidity, from men like
Farragut and Porter. There could not
he more effective object lessons in
naval warfare to the men who now
command the American fleets, than the
dashing movements of not only those
commanders, but of many others who
did marvellous things. The capture OF
the ironclad Albemarle was made al
most before the eyes of Admiral Miller
and his associates.
1t is also true of the American army
that there are men now living in the
South as well as the North, who have
seen more actual warfare on large
scale than the average officers of the
European armies Only the command
ing officers of those armies have had
the training and practical education of
the Americans. The military cam
paigns, during the last 40 years, in
Europe have been short, and consisted
mainly of war in the open country,
while the war in America consisted of
battles between armies so hidden in
the forests that they could not see
each other.
For these reasons, the world will ex-
pect that the military and naval opera
tons by the American forces will be of
the most brilliant kind.

REyIyING PAGANIsM.

Senator Lyman yesterday presented
to the Senate report from a commit
tee of which he is chairman, recon-
mending the passage of a law which
will enable the Republic to obtain pos
session of and preserve the ancient
(heathen temples) heiaus.
The object of this proposed law is
ostensibly the harmless preservation
of relics. But is the public ready to
accept this explanation, without fur
Their inquiry? Senators Lyman, Bald
win, Wilcox and Rice are sons of the
older missionaries. AS business men
and citizens they are above suspicion.
All of them have had the opportunities
of obtaining pious educations at Puma
hou, although they may not have
worked these opportunities for all they
were worth.
But when these Senators approve of
measure for restoring the ancient
heather temples, which their fathers
Iabored earnestly to destroy, their mo-
tives should be closely scrutinized. If
the descendants of Hewahewa, the
chief priest who recommended the de-
struction of the idols in the early part
of'the century made this movement to-
wards restoration; it would be natural
and logical enough, on the theory that
history is like the ring of circus, and
the riders come around to the same
starting point. 1t is not the heather
that back this measure, but the sons of
the men who tried to make heathenism
an unhealthy recreation. Why do they
desire to "rehabilitate the past?" Is
this an insidious scheme for restoring
the ancient abominable rites and cere-
monies, whose rules compelled the wo-
men to eat in places separate from the
men and cut them off from ice cream?
Possibly these Senators, all Hawai-
ian born, are now tired of the religion
imported in these Islands by their
fathers, and desire to revert to the an
cient institutions of the land. on the
ground that the religion of the white
man, as well as the white man himself,
cannot work in the tropics The
question of the values in comparative
religions, the making of comparison
between the creeds of Hewahewa and
John Calvin is too serious matter to
be disposed of by bill in the Legisla-
ture. The Republic is not yet ready for
