In announcing the abandonment OF
the attempt to report upon the produc-
ton of tobacco in this country the sec
rotary of agriculture says: Figures
concerning tobacco published by this
department for 1896 fall SO manifestly
short OF the actual production, as dis
closed by the reports Of the treasury
department on the amount OF tobacco
of domestic production upon which the
revenue tax has been paid, that II Is
impossible TO present report for 1897
that will CO. mand the confidence either
of the .-ade or OF the department itself
1t is exceedingly doubtful whether the
tobacco production OF the country by
states can be ascertained even approx
mately without the employment Of sup
Elementary agencies at considerable
expense, and in view Of the reduction Of
the appropriation made by congress for
the statistical work OF the department,
and considering also the near approach
OF the Federal census, 1t is scarcely
likely that any further attempt will be
made to gather statistics concerning
this branch OF the agricultural industry
until the next census shall have fur
nished new basis r. to the amount
produced and the distribution Of the
productive area"

Hooley, the London promoter, y

stantially true, yet it offers little
ground for sympathy. Honest men,
engaged in legitimate enterprises, are
not in danger of "blackmail," which is
simply the tribute one rascal pays to

The great west seems destined to
earn its title by something better than

OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS.


The Charleston has arrived Trans
ports with troops for Manila Will soon
be here Hawaii has become distinctly
a part of the American war territory.
The need of these Islands as a strate-
gic base is no longer a matter OF
speculation, but is declared by mill
tary and naval judgment during actual
hostilities Hawaii willingly accepts
this conclusion.
The strange spectacle is presented
in the positive declaration by the COM
mander of the land and naval forces
Of the United States, of the need of
these Islands, as a strategic point,
followed by their occupation or use,
while on the other hand, the Legisla-
tive branch of the Government still
hesitates to promptly accept this
Judgment even while war is in ex-
istence. The Executive acts upon
facts. The Legislature dwells upon
theory.
However, as the Legislative body
realizes the driving force of facts, and
is confronted with the situation, it be-
comes rapidly educated. Speech may
be SILVER" Not silence, but events,
are golden" The calling at this port
of the Charleston, and the transports,
is worth a million of documents on
annexation, and many volumes of Con-
gressionaI Records, full of dreary de-
bates.
Immediately after the American
revolution, the new and independent
States of America hesitated to adopt
a constitution. Spain, holding Louisi-
ana, threatened to bar out the COM
merce of the West from an outlet by
the Mississippi. This threat confront
ed the States with fact, and not
theory. 1t put before them the imme-
date and not a remote danger OF
commerce. They felt the hot breath
of an enemy, and they acted.
Spain, once more perhaps in Ameri-
can history, extends the boundary Of
the American Republic. She puts be-
fore it the immediate need of practi-
cal action. She irvoluntarily shows
the value of this strategic point. She
involuntariIy stimulates American eX-
pansion. Her illiberal policy in 1880
strongly influenced the consolidation
of the Union, and did bring the pur-
. chase of Louisiana. Her same ILL
beral policy, one hundred years later,
brings the occupation of the Philip
pines and probably the annexation of

no "good?"

SPANISH RESOURCES.

General Daniel 2. Sickles, who was
American Minister at Madrid, for
some time, says of the Spaniards;
GAS a matter of fact, the resources
of Spain are apt to prove surprisingly
great. considering the desperate sit
uation, in which she is placed. l am
not casting doubt on the result Of the
present war; it can have but one end
ing. We must not expect Spain to
crumble to pieces at the first touch of
a hostile nation. The Spanish have
come to believe that we are nation
of blowhards, and they confidently
expect to whip us. The people be-
lieve that the principal industry in
the United States is the raising of
hogs"
1t is not surprising that the ignor-
ant Spaniards believe that the Ameri-
cans are merely hog breeders, when
one recalls that both British and
European literature until within late
period. expressed the same belief.
The British humorous journals edu-
Gated their readers to believe that the
wealth of the Western States was the
hog products. and the most genteel
occupation was butchering. While
popular opinion regarding the Ameri-
cans has been reversed during the last
twenty years, owing to the intelli-
gence of the British people, the ignor-
NiCIN
people, regarding American affairs, is
simply astounding. 1t is not to be
expected that people who still refuse
to believe that Admiral Dewey won
his victory by superior fighting, will

no doubt, see the inevitable. but
they are powerless.

In one respect only does the present
situation in Spain, resemble the situa~
ton of the Confederate States of
America towards the close Of the Civil
war. After the resources of the South
were exhausted, and its homes were
filed with poverty and suffering, and
though it's military leaders knew that
the cause was utterly lost, it was
even then impossible for the Southern
leaders to make any terms with the
Federal Government Had it been at
tempted, the Southern people, exhaust
ed as they were, would, in the
opinion of Vice-President Stevens,
have refused to follow their leaders.

tests, the power of the women is felt.

Wilmington, N. c., Nov. 1.-Notwith-
standing the more peaceful outlook that
prevailed for the past two days, the
feeling of unrest began to show itself
again last night. There is disQuieting
rumor that the negroes are seriously
considering the question of running a
county ticket regardless of the wishes
OF Governor Russell. The unexpected
arrival of Governor Russell last even
ing gives rise to the hope that Russell
had heard of the movement of the ne
groes to place 4 county ticket in the
field and came here to suppress it, if
possible.
There is little doubt that if a Re-
publican ticket is brought out for coun-
ty officers the situation here will be-
come more serious than ever. The
Democrats have carried out their part
of the arrangement made with the gov
ernor by changing their candidates for
the lower house of the legislature. and
they are furious over the talk of anoth-
err county ticket. An editorial in the
negro paper, The Record. of yesterday

cation that the negroes 90 not consider
