wishes known to the members of the

president Dole has besn. interviewed
witch Islands, and TO his credit be it said,
he talks very sensibly and moderately on
the subject. He doesn't apprehend that
his government will fall If annexation
is not accomplished, as has been claimed
by some Of the hysterical sannexationists
in this country, or that England or
Japan will gobble up the CO Intry. The
great advantage that annexation would
bring to the islands, in his opinion, would
be the Unrestricted trade with. the United
States it would afford them. Without
annexation. lie thinks, Hawaiian sugar
interests would suffer. Yet he is quite
sure chat the improved prospects for
Hawaiian sugar from annexation would
not injuriously affect beet sugar raised
in this country, because the limit of sugar
production in Hawaii is about
reached. It is difficult to see, however,
how free Hawaiian sugar can fail to
hurt beet sugar manufactured in the far
west. 1t will be competitor, for it will
be sold in the same market as the beet
sugar. Tt will have the advantage, too,
of being produced by cheap Asiatio
labor, while beet sugar must be produced
by American labor which demands higher
prices. With the island unannexed Con-
gress can at any time place tariff on
Hawaiian sugar and thus protect the
beet sugar raiser, but after annnexa-
ton no tariff can be imposed, and
whatever advantage cheap labor will give
the Hawaiian sugar raisers they cannot
be deprived Of. President Dole intimates
that as soon as the islands are annexed
the sugar industry will be superseded in
large measure, by the coffee industry,
but that is the merest guess work. The
fact today is that Hawaii raises large
quantities of cane sugar, that the labor
employed in raising it is cheap Asiatic
labor, and that with annexation this
sugar will be exposed for sale in the same
market as the beet sugar which western
farmers are beginning to raise. Whether
| it will be serious rival to the latter,
perhaps only experience can surely deter
mine, but certainly there are strong rea-
sons for believing that it will be. Time and
again in past, industries far less worthy
and much better able to protect..esthem.

The greatest actual increase has been
that OF France, amounting to no less than

next with 81, 1870. 900, 900; Russia third
with $500, 900, COO; and Italy fifth, with
1920, 900, 600. These heavy items indicate
what burden the military system Els to
those nations. Yet, by strange bit of
irony, the nation chiefly responsible for
militarisln, Germany. has decreased her
debt by no lessAthan 1915, 600, GOO. The
fourth on the list is Australasia, with an
increase of $845, 10000 On the other
hand. the largest decrease is credited to
the United States, 1886, o00, 600, the second
to Great Britain, $675. 00o,ooOi and the
third to Germany, as already noted.
Spain is credited with Sl10, 100000 de-
crease, but the last year of war has proba
blyrreyersed that showing. 1t is also to
he horne in mind that Germany's favora
tion of the debts of the individual Estates.
Tins. the national debt of Prussia alone
is now s., 1925, 600, 900, or nearly four times
a. great as that of the whole German En-
pire. The total of the debts of the indi-
yidual states of Germany is more than
40. 500, OOo, OOo No account is taken,
either. of the state debts of this country.
The proportion of indebtedness to the
population is, of course, greater in France
where the yearly charge for interest now
amounts to about IS for each man,
woman, and child. In Italy it is less

1t may not be inappropriate to take
some notice of the Cuban debt. just

so that it is doubtless within bounds to
estimate it now at $500, 100000. Under
the scheme of autonomy" just estab-

right to saddle the whole of this upon the
island. Under Weyler's savage rule fully
one-t lrd of the people OF Cuba were ex-

DEBTS OF THE NATIONS.
How the Obligations Assumed by Great
Powers Have Grown.
New York Tribune.)

The efforts of China to get loan of
$500. 600, 900 in England are reminder
that the Celestial Empire is now at last
definitely deprived of its ancient dlstinc'
ton of having no public. or at least no
foreign debt. China entered the list of
debt-burdened nations Immediately after
the Japanese war, being driven thereto
by the exaction OF the comparatively
trif1ing Indemnity of $50. 10000 She
raised a loan in Europe, which did not
suffice to rid her of the Japanese claims,
vet burdened her to the amount of $780,,
900, 900. Now Eshe seeks to increase her
debt by $50, 600, 900, more, and will doubt
less succeed in go doing, SO easy Is it to
swell the sum on the wrong side of the
edger when once the process has been
begun. In that i, however, China will
merely join the great majority.
A statistician,in the Pail Mall Gazette
has reckoued in round numbers the move
ment of the debts Of the chief eighteen
nations for the twenty years from 1876
to 1896 with some interesting and sig
nificant results. In the former year the
Cn1oI QeDUs, III Oruof OI uldSnlGuu5, were

six. of the eighteenth wit: Great Brit

India, and Mexico-increased their debts.
In 1896 the order was considerably
changed France still stood easily frsts
with debt twice as big as any others.
Great Britain stood second, close pressed
by Austria Hungary. Italy was fourth.
Russia fifth, and Spain sixth. The
United States dropped from third to
seventh, and the Australasian colonies
rose from sixteenth to eighth, while Ger
many fell from eighth to sixteenth
Mexico fell from fifteenth to eighteenth,
and Canada rose from eighteenth to
seventeenth. However, soma other
nations, not in theseighteen of 1876, have
come forward and now have larger debts
than several of the latter. Thus the Ar

A debate on the Teller resolution in
In the Senate may be good, as Senator
Lodge says, for the Republican party,
because it will show that the great ma
jority of the representatives of that party
are on the side of sound money and the
payment of government debts in gold or
its equivalent, but for the reputation Of
the country it is not going to be good.
Signs indicate that majority of the SEN
ate are gong to commit themselves to the
doctrine that il our minis were open to-
day to the free and unlimited coinage of
silver, which would of course destroy the
governments ability to keep the silver
dollar at parity with gold, it would be
both legally and morally right for the
government to discharge its debts in the
silver dollars that the minis would then
turn out. That is to say the highest
branch of Congress is going to commit
itself to the doctrine that it would be
legally and morally right for the govern
nent to repudiate about half its debt.
1t certainly cannot be good for the honor
of the country that such doctrine as
that should be promulgated as sound
by our highest legislative body.

Sometime ago it was proposed that the
Republican caucuses for the selection of
candidates for municipal officers be
opened in the afternoon and kept open
until 9 O'Clock in the evening. The
merits of this plan are that it will
afford more time for the voters to at
tend and indicate their preferences, and
will convenience many voters who for vari-
GUS reasons find it difficult to attend a
caucus in the evening, especially If the
evening be stormy. Such comments as
we heard on the plan were very favorable.

NO SYMPATHY THERE.
The London Speaker Administers a
Roast to Spain

London, Oct. 22.-The Speaker, in a
long article on the peace commission,
says:
THE reluctance of American to annex
Cuba is due mainly to a desire to escape
the burden of the Cuban debt.
"At the same time the doctrine of in
ternational law by which a debt in
CURED by ruler binds his successors
rests upon slight foundation.
1T is mOnStrouS that a tyrant should
be able to burden future generations
simply because he is in possession of
the material government. If the inveS-
tors felt that in international law loans
incurred against the will of the people
would not attach to the country in the
event of a change of government there
would be less of that monetary support
of misgovernment which has disgraced
the high finances Of the nineteenth CEN
tury.
For so years Spain has ruled Cuba
in defiance of the will of the Cuban
people and in spite of the constant pro-
test of the United States. The cost of
her military operations there has been
met by loans specially chargeable upon
Cuba In the first place, in order to
punish the Cubans, and in the second,
in order to arrange for a cheap retreat
in the event of being driven out by
America. In a word, the debt has been
charged upon Cuba largely with the
object of saddling it upon the United
States. The bOndhOlders were encour-
aged to look to the supposed doctrine
of international law as part of the Sc
curity while they were lending to Spain
against the will of both Cubans and
Americans. 1t is to be hoped that the
United States while assuming sover-
eighty over Cuba, will refuse to pay any
part of the debt except the money used
in the development of the island, there
by setting a most useful precedent of
which tryants and financiers will do
well to take note"
