PEACE PROSPECTS.

The dispatches from Washington
and Europe have the ear marks of
peace negotiations. But the public and
the newspapers have not been taken
into confidence by the diplomats. Pre-
sident Mckinley is overwhelmed with
advice from the people who are deeply
interested in the war and he does not
propose to solicit advice about the
terms of peace.
There is evidently some strong sus-
picion that the President may be too
moderate in his demands The nation
al blood is very hot, but the President S
blood is cool, as the responsibility
rests upon him of making the nsgo-
tiations for peace. The Constitution
does not expressly allow him to make
terms of peace. He is COMMANDMENT
Chief, but that Office does not imply
the power to acquire territory, or fix
terms OF indemnity.
Congress alone can declare war, Cart.
1, Sec. ID under the Constitution, and
it alone, it is presumed has the power
to fix the terms of peace.
Practically, the President negouates
the terms, and Congress ratifes them.
Should he conclude terms of peace,
he will do so, after consulting his sup
porters in Congress. and upon such
terms that Congress will probably ra-
tify.
These negotiations are probably now
being made, but they involve so many
difficult questions, and considerations,
and the Spanish statesmen are in such
an embarrassing position, the President
will keep his own cOunsels, and prose
cute the war, until he is perfectly sat
isfied that his terms win be acceptable
both to Spain, and to Congress. The
education of the Spanish people causes
more delay than was expected by the
President.

"WATERED" STOCK.

The recent increase of the stock of
the Eva plantation from 100000 TO
81 .OOO. 900. without a payment in cash
for the increased issue is loosely spok-
en- of as the watering" Of the stock,
and rs the introduction of Wall street
ways of managing corporations.
The term "watered" is loosely used
and in this case cannot be justly used.
The strongest language would be justi-
fable in denouncing the Wall street
practice, if the new issue of stock rep
resented neither money, solid assets,
or undoubted values. 1t is this sort Of
manipulation that deceives the public,
and catches the lambs" because the
lambs rarely study values.
The issue of stock for full value re-
ceived, is quite another matter. There
is no real distinction between the issue
of stock for cash actually paid in, and
the issue of stock for cash actually
earned by the corporation, and con-
verted into permanent betterments,
and assets. The opportunity for the
grOssest frauds occurs in putting a ffc-
titious value on the betterments and
assets. But when the valuation is justly
made, it is considered perfectly legi-
innate and conservative process, found
ed on perfectly sound business princi-
pies
The betterments and assets Of the
EVA plantation have been estimated
by the assessor for the purpose Of tax
alton, at over $2,OO0O00, and this esti-
mate. after contest in the Courts has
been confirmed Such a confirmation
disposes of any question as to intrinsic
values. The case is different from that
of the Western Union, of which there
is an outstanding issue of over $780,
600, 600 in values of stock, values de-
pendent. however. on contracts with
railroad corporations to do their tele-
graphic service.
The time has come for those who
are studying the morals of financial
corporations, in civilized countries, to
become acquainted with the singularly
honest management of the sugar cor
porations on these Islands, excluding
several well known cases.
If the promoters" and capitalists OF
the financial centres, clearly compre-
hended the fidelity and the uniform
integrity of the financial managers OF
these plantations, and their indisposi-
ton to permit inflated values, they
would be not only surprised, but deep
Iy grieved, that they had not been per
mitted by Providence to open some
schools of finance here.
No doubt we shall soon have some
of these pioneer promoters here, who
will point out the large fiocks Of
lambs" on the Mainland that are
ready to be roasted and eaten by the
gentlemanly wolves.

A MISUNDERSTANDING

There appears to be a curious mis-
apprehension, on the part Of many of
President Doles friends, regarding his
contribution TO the Maine relief fund,
last February, while he was in San
Francisco. 1t is due entirely TO the
inaccurate statements of the newspa-
pers Of the Mainland that he had made
the contribution, but without specify
ing whether it was a personal or Off
cial act For this inaccurate state
ment he is not responsible. 1t was
therefore inferred by many, without
reason for it, that he had intended to
make the contribution personal one.
Upon rendering his account of the eX-
penses of the trip to Washington, the
item was included as part Of public eX-
pense account, as it should be.
Having known for some time, that
there is a unfortunate misunderstand-
ing of the matter, which would greatly
annoy Mr. Dole, if he became aware of
it, we have investigated it, and publish
the results of that investigation in an
other column If the Legislature had
taken the least trouble to make any in
quiries on the subject, there would not
have been any misunderstanding what

pays the same price, but gets one
fourth less beer. 1t is said that the
deception cannot be detected excepting
by experts.
The consumer in this town may feel
rather dissatisfied with the exhiIarat-
ing effects Of the drink, but if he COM
plains. he Will be told that it is his
patriotic contribution TO the war tax
and 10 the temperance cause.
Besides it Will lessen his confusion
when he is suddenly called upon to
shout the war cry of Remember the
Maine" or the political war cry Of
Remember Maine"

The Fate Of a Bsautind CIR, At oklahoma
CITY.
The Oklahoma City Oklahoman tells
the following sad story
Yesterday at the sporting house OF
Anna Swift, on West Second sire I, a
baby boy about ten months old, died.
The death Of the little one Is the finale
of a sad story,
A couple Of years ago there cane to
the city a oung girl seek'rs nrloy-
ment as a stenographer. Sue vas IN
tell gent. OF fair face and rc.y hand
some figure. and came of a good mi
lily. For some time she had EMPLOY,
ment, then reverses came and the girl
who thought 1t easy to maize ber W Y
in the world, found tnat the beauty
she thought would gain the respect OF
men, had made her an object of mp
tation. Last January, enciente and
aim 81 crszed, she was taken oy Anna
Swift to her home, the only home o en-
to the friend ess girl until she could
give birth TO her child. The child, n
boy, was born, but the girl who had so
sinned against society, died in giving
the little one life. One sin against
society she did not commit Sh died
without naming public the father OF
the child. Had she spoken his name
society would have been shocked in
deed, but would have rushed 10 the
defense OF this genteel member.
The child was adopted by Anna
Swift and probably was as well nur-
tured during it's short life as II it had
been raised in the home of its ia .ber.
Everything has happened for the
best. The shamed girl is dead the
child whose mothers shame would
have blackeded its life is gone and the
elite society Is not worried with ex-
cusing the fathers pertidy.
