CAMPING GROUNDS.

If the alleged threat of Secretary-of-
War Alger to remove all the troops North
is true, it will be nothing short of an
official outrage.
BY this act the United States Govern
ment will attempt to stamp one-third of
the Union as plague-ridden and unfit for
habitation, when the fact OF the matter
is that, area for area, 1t will compare
to advantage with any part of the
North.-The Atlanta Constitution.
Quite so. There would be good sense in
sending troops from Cuba TO the Northern
States, but none in sending those that
are now in the South to any other sec
ton of the Union.
If they are to be sent anywhere, let
Virginias, or Of the Carolnas, or Of
Georgia, or Alabama, or Tennessee.
The truth is, the War Office has been
badly taken in" more than once in Sc
lecting camps. Whether 1t was because Of
q disposition to oblige friends of the adj
mnistration, or because Of its ignorance
of localities, we do not know, but without
a doubt camp-grounds have been selected
that are so bad that the officers choosing
them ought to be court-martialled for
unftness to hold commissions. But it is
not necessary to repair this blunder by
another which will be hurtful to the
whole South. Let justice be done us,
and great sums of money be saved, by
choosing healthy campinggrounds in the
States where our troops are now stationed
in large bodies.

poRTo RICO TRADE.

The speculation some OF the enthusiasts
and theorists have been INDUCING in re-
gardIng the trade advantages the United
States VIII derive from the permanen.
possession OF Porto Rico has caused tho
| Boston Herald to do little cold figuring
anent the matter.
According to the statistics OF the foreign
trade Of Porto Rico. just published at
Washington. in the calendar year 1885, the
latest period covered by the returns. the
| imports OF merchandise were valued at
In the three preceding years-ls93. 1894
and 1s95-the imports averaged $75i5, Ss2
per annum, and the exports s16.08i.71l per
annum. or the imports of merchandise
in 1896. &,g71,445 came from Spain, $685., 719
from Cuba. s3,973,S55 from the United
States, s., 2e7. sS2 from Great Britain, s2.s3S,-

from Germany, and sl,440.e50 from other
countries. OF the merchandise exports.
S,2sS, 257 went to Spain, s3,S73,632 to Cuba.
s2,552,174 TO the United States, $2,606,002

/
1t will be seen from this, says the
Herald, that, even IL the United States
could obtain complete monopoly OF
the foreign trade of Porto Rico.
an absurd supposition-our gain would
be of little moment from a profit
point of view. Compared with the figures
for 1885, our commerce would show
s30,09S09l increase, of which $l4,S0S,S35
would be in goods sold to the island and
$l5,7s9,256 in goods bought from 1t. But It
is on the former class alone that any
profit can be figured as resulting from d
connection established by war, for, as re-
CARDS the latter class, we can increase
our commerce to any imaginable extent
without burning cartridge. The Herald
therefore, contends that the advantage
TO be obtained by conquering Porto Rico,
even II we could compel its inhabitants
to purchase all their foreign merchandise
in the United States, would be purely
and simply the profit which our traders
could make on the s1i3OS, s35 OF goods sold
TO them, in addition 10 the supplies which |
they now purchase in our markets. Then, |
after putting the net profit at 10 per cent, |
which is liberal in the extreme, and which |
would make the total annual profit i,430 |
SS5, our contemporary shows that the war
is costing in every twenty-four hours |
more money than we could gain in a
year by monopolizing the foreign trade |
of Porto Rico.
For reasons which we have frequently |
mentioned, and which it is not necessary |
to repeat here, Porto Rico must pass into
our possession for such disposition as we
may choose TO make Of it. That disposition
will, we imagine, be permanent occupation
in our own name. Nevertheless. when we
consider the proportion of the war ex-
penditures that will be chargeable to
Porto Rican account and the probable
cost of administering government on the
island for the next several years. we are
bound to admit the likelihood of the in
proving an expensive luxury
rather than profitable business venture.

PEACE LOGIC.

| A member of the Cabinet is quoted as
saying that the confidence of the admin
| istration that peace Is at hand is based
largely on the logic of the slCuation,
which is as follows: That Spain has sued
for peace, and has instructed Ambassador
Cambon TO obtain the best terms posi-
BILE, making known to him her maximum
ments made by Ambassador Cambon du-
ring his conference with the President on
Saturday last convinced the authorities
that Spain was sincere in her determina-
ton to end the war on the best terms she
could get; that the terms proposed by the
United States, though more severe than
Spain argued for in connection with the
Philippines, were not more rigid than the
instructions sent to Ambassador Cambon
indicated that Spain was willing to ac-
Spain, for financial reasons, to continue
the war; that the Spanish volunteers in
Porto Rico are showing themselves TO be
a weakness rather than a strength. and
are leaving the small body of Spanish
regulars to stand alone against the over
wheiming army of General Miles; that
internal disorders of the grayest charac-
ter threaten the Spanish Government, and
all the military strength that can be
mustered. including the forces in the
Colonies. may be needed at an early date
to save the monarchy.
Certainly the Cabinet officer did not
overstate the logic of the situation; and,
that being true, certainly also he justi-
fed fully the confident attitude Of the
