Hawaii.

Senators Morgan and Cullom and Con- gressman Hit, the three commissioners to Hawaii, met last week in Chicago, were duly banqueted, and are now proceeding in their long journey to Honolulu. They have been selected because of their general knowledge of the problems involved. to study on the spot the difficulties of the case, and recommend a system of govern ment adapted to it. There is a widespread belief that their recommendations will be- come law.
 Their task is relieved of the difficulty of opposition. Everybody in Hawaii desired annexation. Everybody is glad he is a part of the great republic. It means to him fore, no trouble on that score, as perhaps there may be in Cuba or Porto Rico or the Philippines. Then, too Hawaii has be- come accustomed to a republican form of government. Its present government is closely modelled after our own. All are re- publicans there. Not so with the other islands that will come to Uncle Sam.
 The sole difficulty in Hawaii relates to the franchise, growing out of a mixture of races There are plenty of schools; many read and write; but there are, besides the native Kanakas, many Chinese Japanese and Portuguese. To what extent they shall share in government is the problem, and it is a pretty difficult one. The senti- ment of the ruling minds of the islands is unknown. The commissions, will inde be fortunate if they hit upon a plan that will be satisfactory to all.
 Beyond the electorate plain, ordinary teCYit0Tial form of government, looking to statehood will probably be recommended. It need not anticipate immediate state hood. New Mexico and Arizona were an- nexed fifty years ago, and they have long been territories. Hawaii may stay on the waiting list an equally long time, but long or short, her probationary condition will be satisfactory and will admit of all the pros perity she is capable of. There will be no political troubles in Hawaii if the elector- ate can be put on a satisfactory footing. For this we must wait until the commits sioners report the result of their labors.

From the American Banker
 An administration which accomplisl A. the annexation of Hawaii and then hesi- tates to pursue the imperial route to it's logical end elsewhere seems to lack some- thing in force, however much it may seem to act with prudence The renunciation of captured territory cannot be based on the notion that we have precedent for coloni- al possessions or that the machinery of our institutions is not adapted for the admin istration of colonies because, in extending our sovereignty to Hawaii we have all ready practically declared these notions to be null and void. What remains? If we examine the arguments against territo- rial expansion we find that, aside from the sentimental regret which they intone for the passing away of the Washingtonian principle of isolation, their chief force re- sides in the fear which they express that possessions, for instance, in Asiatic wa ters, will involve us in European contro- versies which in turn must compel us to bring our war establishment up to the European status. When. however, we con- slider the acknowledged efficacy of the navy which we already possess and the fact that the Spanish war has already led us to make formidable additions to this arm the absurdity of experimenting what has already materialized becomes plain. The naval establishment of this country, which has been treated with rather contemptu- ous indifference by European critics and with good natured federation by many Of our own people, has become within the space of a few months a formation which compels the admiration and respect of the whole world. It has risen from the plane of doubtful potentiality to that of demonstrated force.

ADMIRAL SIMPSONS HANDICAP

John R. Spears in Scribner's.
 I may be permitted to say, on the au- thority of men who know. that the squad ron which Admiral Sampson had to take when going in chase of the Spanish was not only most remarkable; it was, from at least one point of view. simply absurd. One need not be trained naval man to understand this. For consider the Spanish squadron: Admiral Cervera had four mod ern ships, every one of which was rated at speed of twenty knots not ts men, tion his swift torpedo boat destroyers, like the Furor His was a 20-knot squadron, we'll armored and well armed. To catch this 2O-knot squadron Admiral Sampson had the 21-knot New York, the 17-knot Iowa, the 15.5-knot Indiana, the 10.5-knot Terror and Amphitrite, squadron that at best was fit to make for brief intervals a speed of 10 knots and for full days pas- sage no more than eight. This Is not to criticise the admiral; he had to take what was given him.
 Placing the 10.5-knot Amphitrite in tow of the 17-knot Iowa, Admiral Sampson. at 10 o'clock on the night of May 4, started in chase of the 20-knot Spaniards. The next morning he had to take the Terror in tow of the New York, and thereafter we all moped at an average speed of under seven knots, away through the long nar- row channel that lies between the Bahama group on the north and the chain that is fromed by Cuba.

Treaties of Peace.

Treaties of peace have in this country usually progressed slowly, but this was chiefly due to the fact that they were made before railroads. and telegraph and cable lines were built
 In the revolutionary war the preliminary articles were signed in Paris November 30. 17s2. and were ratified by congress April 15 17s3. The final treaty was signed September g. 17Ss, and the army was not disbanded until November 3, 17S3.
 After the war of 1872 treaty of peace was signed December 24, 1874, at Ghent in Belgium. It did not reach New York unffl February Il, 1915. In the meantime General Jackson fought the battle of New Orleans. and the frigate president fought four Brit ish frigates.
 In the Mexican war an armistice was de- clared from August 21 to September T. 1si7, by General Scott. The peace treaty was not signed, however. until February 2, 1s4S It was ratified May 19, 1s4S. There was no preliminary treaty.
 In all three cases-the only foreign wars except the present one that the country has ever known, about year elapsed be- tween the first peace movement and the consummation of the event, but no such time will be necessary in these days when the two parties are in cable communica- tion with each other. The treaty with Spain will, however be rather long and elaborate on account of the numerous islands and interests involved. and 1t would not be surprising if sixty days were consumed in the preparation and ratifca- practically be established before the final ratification of the treaty of peace.

by making the city a desirable place to live in. It can best make 1t desirable as a place of residence by improving and strengthening it's public school system up to the point of nine-months. absolutely free, schools. The entire system should be free from the odious pay system. This much was promised when the Amendment was submitted, and this much is expected by the people. and whoever stands in the way of it must account to the people.
 Nothing will so soon fill every vacant dwelling and building with desirable people as good public schools. A pay school Is not a public school in the common acceptation of the term. It is school that shuts out those most needing education in order to become good citizens. Birmingham does not want such schools Under the Amend ment such schools have no excuse for eX- istence, and thus one great clog upon the of the city can be removed. The average family will no longer be repeled by the statement that the schools of the city are pay schools No matter how good a school may be, it must not have the pay feature, if it is to efficiently serve it's town as a promoter of thrift as well as good citizenship.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

From the Memphis Commercia-A ppeal.
 The democratic party must move for ward or go out of existence It can not be maintained merely to furnish offices to companionable politicians. It must mean something. Its creed must be something more than timorous don't. Its battle- hymn must be something more than dirge Its aspiration must be something more than a sigh or a whine. And we would in kindness admonish the Baileys that the democratic party need not be ex- pected to maintain perpetual patience with leaders who are short-sighted and in- sistent upon going the wrong way. They must expect to be retired. MT Bailey is a national character by reason of his posi- tion, but he will not long remain one. The sun shone upon his Austerlitz the day he defeated McMillin; it will sink upon his Waterloo the next time he seeks the leadership. He is out of harmony with the times, with his party, with the country. He has right to live in the past if he so desires. but he must not be stumbling block to those who are bravely advancing on the battlefield of the present.
 The overwhelming rejection of his amendment by the people of his own state Is the beginning of the end.

The Birmingham Schools.

The people of the state have given the authorities of Birmingham the right to inn pose adequate taxation. This privilege was long withheld, not because the people were unwilling to grant the needful authority, but because the careless voter could not be induced to cast an affirmative vote by momentary use of lead pencil The leg islature found way to overcome such negligence, and the result is a grant of taxation power in this city equivalent to the power possessed by other cities of the state.
 The city should rise to the occasion. In return for the bestowal of this authority by the people of the state, it should take steps to make this city the pride and the ornament of the state. It can best do this

The CrOps of Alabama.

At the opening of the present month this state was fairly "groaning" under the weight of growing crops. "One hundred" represents in the office of the commissioner of agriculture a full round fine crop-as good a crop as any man could reasonably expect or desire. But the crop of corn growing in the state, really made" stood on the 1st of August at 14. It stands at that great general average now, and 1t will stand there when the crop Is gathered. This must mean thatthe state has grown enough corn for home consumption. It probably means more bushels of homegrown corn than. was ever produced in a single year. The condition of the states crop of hogs is 112 and it will be still higher when the condition of work stock is also high, 104. Field peas, too, stood on the 1st. day of August at 116. Neither man nor beast need starve in Alabama during the coming year.
 Nearly all the minor crops are doing well. Peanuts stood at 109; sweet potatoes at 97; Irish potatoes at 4; sorghum at 1a4; grapes at 102; and peaches at 137! These figures account for the abundance of excel lent fruit that is seen in every fruit stand The soil of Alabama has been fruitful this season almost beyond any previous record.
 The cotton crop is put by the commits sioner at 112 for the entire state. Such a high figure is not, however, conclusive. August and September are both critical months in the growth of the great staple. Thus far the prevailing wet weather has not materially injured the crop, but if the dampness is much longer continued it must bring trouble 10 it. The dreaded boil worm will appear, and other troubles will come A good appearance on August is, in fact, often misleading. Cotton is crop that cannot be measured until it is actually picked Up to the last minute of its field life it is subject to disaster. True. the crop may be bumper crop. It looks now as if the man who made ten bales last year will this year gather twelve bales, but 1t may not look that way in September.

 -OTHELLO.
New Markets Wanted,


 Chicago Is full of an up-to-date American spirit This was plainly shown at the ban quet given by the president of the Union League club to the Hawaiian commission CTS. Senator Morgan was applauded when he declared that "our flag had been raised in the Philippines, and no man in America would permit it to be hauled down." All of the speakers urged the speedy building of markets, and all, like Secretary Seward, look towards the Pacific to find them.
 On the same day the Illinois Manufac- turers' association met and inaugurated movement that will assuredly be warmly supported throughout the northwest, having for it's object the opening of new markets through the peace negotiations now pro- gressing with Spain. It will thus be seen that the demand for an open China is not confined to the cotton-growng and cotton- manufacturing sections. All sections of the country want wider and better markets.
 This country needs the world for a rar ket. An open door should become great issue; but the particular issue just now when peace commissioners are about to meet should be an open China The north- west will aid us in this matter; for 1t sells to the Chinese four while We sell to them course cotton goods. The two sections are equally interested and the movement of the Chicago manufacturers should meet with warm response in the south. An open China is almost vital to us. It means as much to the cotton grower as it does to the \cotton manufacturer. We re en- pled to ssllI1ene 400 ooo, 900 in China, or
 must take steps to limit the cotton crop. Production crowds consumption chiefly because we cannot reach the interior of China, and are threatened on the coast by the exclusive acts of other nations.
 The hopes of manufacturer and grower are alike bound up in all sections in the ac- ton of the peace commissioners. If they throw away the opportunity that war has brought within reach, they will throw away an opportunity tht will not return and the party that permits it will have to settle with the American people,

Feast of Good Things

From the Attalla Journal.
 Birthday celebrations are not unusual even among newspapers, but the style and the extravaganza with which the Birming- ham Age-Herald celebrated it's second birthday on July 31 would indicate degree of prosperity and a plethorlc purse beyond that which usually falls to the lot of the average editor. The feast of good things set before their readers in their ainniver- sary edition is well worthy of the enter prise and push of the new management of the paper
