One of the best induces of the
passing of hard time is the fact that
less people are rushing to the
minis throughout the country with
personal effect, such as gold Jewell
ry, plate and trinkets, to be melted
up by the government and ex-
changed for currency. According
to a report of Director of the Mint
Preston, during the period of ex-
IRENE depression the value Of the
metal thus purchased by the gov
eminent reached high figures, but
in the last year it has dwindled con-
siderably. Figures submitted by
the director show that from 1873
down to last year the amount Of
money paid out by the government
for old gold and plate annually has
increased steadily. The high
water mark was reached IN 1901,
when the government paid out for
plate and jewelry, S4,o35,7Io. In
1873 the amount was S774,2I8, and
it reached the million mark in 1850,
the two million mark in 1886, and
three million in 1889 Except for
the year 1891, when it went to four
it was between three and
four million dollars, until last year,
when it fell to 81. $40, 2S4. The
Philadelphia mint melts nine. tenths
of the plate and jewelry presented
to the government. Payment is
generally made in gold when the
jewelry is of that metal.

The Secretary of Agriculture is
of the opinion that the annexation
of Hawaii would not seriously af-
feet the sugar raising industry of
the United States. At present the
cultivation of cane on the islands
is carried on by coolie labor under
the contract-labor system. But in
the event of the islands becoming
subject to our law these laborers
would receive the same wages as
are now paid in California. The
Secretary also calls attention to
the fact that the opportunities and
possibilities of coffee culture in the
islands are so much better than
sugar raising that much of the soil
now devoted to sugar will be used
for coffee.

{ lehned programme as to the pres
ence of American battle ships in
Havana harbor. 1t is not the in
tention that the Maine shall re-
main there any great length oil
time. For two reasons her stay
will be limited. One of these rea-
sons is the unhealthfulness. yell
low fever prevails at Havana the
year round. In the military hos
pItals are many cases at this time.
Some of these hospitals are close
to the shore of the harbor. All of
them drain into the harbor. A
stay of month would be fraught
with danger. The Maine will coal
at Havana and remain several days.
Then another of the squadron will
take her place. In this way the
sanitary necessities will be OBJ
served, and at the same time those
peppery intransigentes will acquire
an interesting and, perhaps, USE
full lot of information about the
American navy.
1t is fact that there is not
Spanish war vessel in Cuban wa
tiers which will compare with any
one of the five American battle
ships which will in turn visit Ha-
vana. The Maine, which goes
first, ranks as one of onr second
class battle-ships. That is to say,
she is not as heavy by 1000 or 5000
tons as some of the others. She
is however accounted about as eff
fective as the first-class monsters.
The present orders keep the
in the vicinity of Cuba
until April. Before the winter is
over the Spaniards who are resid-
ing in Cuba may receive new i'm
pressions OF the naval strength OF

Our Corn.

In a recent edition THE BEE
told its readers about the greatly
increased use of American corn
abroad during the past year. To
further enlarge the foreign use OF
our standard crop there will be an
extensive corn exhibit made at the
Paris Exposition in 1900. 1t is
proposed to have a colossal corn
picture 4ox6o feet in size. Every
body who has visited any of our
great American expositions knows
how we'll adapted to decorative
purposes is this chief of American
cereals; what handsome and strik-
ing effects in mural and other deco
tons are produced in the skillful
and artistic handling of corn by
the practiced decorator. Another
most excellent suggestion is that
there should be large corn kitch-
en- in which articles of food pre-
pared from corn can be tested by
the multitude that are unacquainted
with these delights. One writer
says: ga plate of corn cakes,
baked to golden brown, would
be revelation to nearly all Euro
peans." And he speaks the truth.
The BEE pleads for a liberal cor
ner of that tasty kitchen to be de-
voted to the elaboration of the
virtues and excellencies of the

MAINE GOES TO HAVANA,

WILL PROTECT AMERICAN INTERESTS.

Washington, D. c., Jan. a.
The battleship Maine has been or
dered to Havana. Shortly aftey
noon to-day the Secretary of the
Navy gave out this statement in
writing;
$50 far from there being any
foundation for the rumors yester-
day of trouble at Havana, matters
are now in such condition that our
vessels are going to resume their
friendly calls at Cuban ports and
go in and out just as the vessels of
other nations do. The Maine will
go in day or two on just such a
visit.
This certainly has a pacific
sound. For an understanding of
the full import, however, it is nee
essary to know that two visits to
the State Department were made
to-day by the Spanish Minister;
that Assistant Secretary Day twice
conferred with the President, and
the general manner Of the Navy
Department IN treating this order
to the Maine was totally inconsist-
ent with the theory of an ordinary
routine affair. The plain truth is
that the President has taken an
other good step forward in the Gu
ban business. That is what the
going of the Maine means. From
this time forward there will be few
days which will not find ship of
the White Squadron in the harbor
of Havana.
