A DISAGREEABLE OPINION.

The Washington Post, always firm
friend of annexation, and always well
informed in political affairs has an
editorial which again afirms the need
Of annexation. 1t says:
But it is clear to US that the So
called reciprocity treaty between Ha-
wall and the United States is an expen-
sive and indefensibIe blunder. There
is no element of reciprocity in it, We
admit Hawaiian sugar to our ports free
Of duty, thereby presenting foreign SUI
gar producers with several millions of
dollars annually, and we receive in re
turn-what? The friends of the treaty
point to the fact that our merchants
practically control the trade of Hawaii,
and that is, perhaps, approximately
true. But two very important queries
present themselves in this connection
'First-To what extent does the
treaty influence our commercial rela-
tions with the Islands, and
Secondly-Even supposing the case
to be one of cause and effect, is the
trade of sufficient Importance to war
rant us in giving away five or six mil
lions annually to alien sugar planters
and to that extent discouraging and
blrdening our domestic industries?
For our part, we believe that such
trade as we have with Hawaii comes to
us legitimately and without the slight
est reference to the free admission of
her sugar. We believe, too, that the So
called reciprocity treaty operates at
every point to our disadvantage. 1t IS
a treaty which we should not tolerate
for one instant with a foreign nation,
since aliens receive all the DEMENT'S and
we bear all the burdens Our own pro
ducers of sugar are subjected to the
competition of foreign producers, who
operate under intellectually superior
conditions. Our free and intelligent
labor is antagonized by the seml-bar-
barous labor of Asia. American lnuus-
tries are checked in their development
so that foreign industries may thrive
Nothing more improvident, less pa
triotic, more unstatesmanlike, could be
imagined If we decide to adopt Ha-
wall, to take it into the American
Union, and to throw open to our own
citizens all the splendid opportunities
and possibilities it presents, that is one
thing. But to continue treaty which
gives to a foreign nation and an alien
people such conspicuous advantages at
our expense, is quite a different one
For that arrangement there is no con-
ceivabIe excuse"
The above extract shows the drift OF
feeling in the States. AS we have rati-
fed the treaty of annexation, there is
perhaps nothing more for us to do, but
those who are here opposed to the
treaty may as we'll understand what
| lies in the future.

HEAVY PROGRAM.
Features in Miss Adair's Bill for
Saturday Evening.

The energetic little Miss Elsie Adair
has been wonderfully busy the past
week arranging for her speciality and
vitascope show to be given at the opera
house on Saturday evening. Tickets
are now on sale at Wall, Nichols Co
The evening will open with a sketch by
Brander Matthews, called The Decis-
ion of the Court" The parts will be
taken by Miss Adair and J. H. Walker
The story is that of an American girl
married to an Englishman of title. In
ternationaI difficulties ensue. The
chief interview is while a libel for di-
vorce is pending and there is a neat
ending of the trouble. There viii also
be a musical sketch by Miss Adair and
Jock Mcclure. Mcclure and Vierra will
present Ten Minutes with the Irish
Help in the Kitchen of a Klondike Mil
lionarie." There will be music by

Irritation. There are 80 pictures in all.
Miss Adair was telling at the the Ad-
vertiser office last evening that she had
been doing the work of three men here
for a week and had eaten nothing but
food during the time. In consequence
her voice was bit ruffled, but it will
be in trim all right tomorrow evening.

CUBAN INDEPENDENCE - WHAT
NEXT2

President Mckinley and his advisers
have gone into this Cuban affair much
more thoroughly than the newspapers,
because the responsibility is largely
upon them of making war, or keeping
the peace
With Cuban independence what
comes next? The President must take
this question in. He cannot make it
separate matter to be dealt with after
wards. He must have plan about it
definite and sufficient
The island of Cuba has about the
same area as the State of Kentucky,sa
larger area than Maine, or Indiana,
and a little less area than the State OF
New York. This is a population of over
1,5OO, 900 This is a population larger
than that of any one of 80 Amer1-
can States and territories, and less
than that of only II States. The SER
iousness of the question becomes evil
dent at once.
The President is confronted with sew
eral propositions.
1. Cuba as an independent State is
incapable of self-government, owing to
the large numbers of negroes and
ignorant people of mixed blood. The
people are in the average, it is said,
less capable of elf-government than
the people of the South American re-
publics. independence therefore, means
revolutions, anarchy and continued dis
turbance, directly under the eyes of the
American people. This will be an intol-
cradle condition of things and it is
foreseen.
2. If the United States force Cuban
independence, they cannot stop at that
point. They must in the interests OF
commerce and humanity undertake to
control" Cuba in some way.
3. The American theory of territory
is, that whenever the number OF the
incubation of a territory reaches 1OO,-
600. it shall become a self-governing
State. This theory has been acted upon,
from the adoption of the Constitution.
4. The government of territory
like Cuba, with a population larger
than that of anyone of 33 States, de-
mands an entirely new departure from
the accepted theory of democratic gov
eminent. A departure of this kind, re-
garding the little Island of Hawaii, is
one of the causes which prevent an
neXatiOn.
Forcible Intervention by the United
States precipitates a most serious mat
ter before President Mckinley. The
disposition of Congress is to intervene
first and fix things up afterwards. The
Presidents disposition is to move very
cautiously in view of the perpleXing
questions involved and he keeps the
future before him.
Independent Cuba will be a dreadful
white elephant on the hands of Con-
gress, lust as the Southern States were
many elephants on it's hands at the
close Of the war. The Republican
party now sees its many plumbers In
dealing with the negBo question. Wiser
now than it was then, it sees, or Presi-
dent Mckinley sees, a problem in Cuba
in every way more perpleXing than the
negro question of the reconstructed
States.
The President, with the fear of an
immense white elephant being driven
into his door yard, and left there, is
naturally conservative.

Tho Bnlldog n Good Dog.

No member of the canine family has
been more persistently maligned than
the bulldog. Writers who have no in
innate knowledge Of the dog and his at
tributes have described him as stupidity
ferocious, and illustrators have pictured
him as q sort of semiwild beast, till tho
general public has come to look upon
him as dangerous.
"Give dog bad name," is an old
saw, and perhaps true one, but when
it is applied to the bulldog it is mani
testify unjust. Writers, too, have fallen
into grave error in claiming that the
bulldog is deficient not only in affec-
ton, but in intelligence.
Stonehenge, who is considered one Of
the greatest of canine scientists, claims
that the bulldogs brain is relatively
larger than that of the spaniel, which
dog is generally considered to be the
most intelligent of the canine race,
while the bulldogs affection is never to
be doubted. -Outing.

A FAMOUS MULBERRY TREE.
Planted by Milton In Christ's College Gar
dens, Cambridge.

In the gardens of Christ's college,
Cambridge, stands a venerable mulberry
tree, which, tradition says, was planted
by Milton during the time when he was
student at the university. This would
DO between the years 1924 and 1852,
for the following copy, from the Latin
of his entry of admission, accurately
fixes the former date, and his admission
to the degree of M. A., to which he pro-
ceeded in the latter year, ended his in
innate connection with tho university
"John Milton, native Of London, son
of John Milton, was initiated in the
elements of letters under Mr.. Gill, mas
ter of st. Paul's school; was admitted
lesser pensioner Feb. 10, 1924, under
Mr.. Chappoll and paid entrance fee
los" He was then 16 years and 2
months old.
The tree so intimately associated
with his name is now much decayed,
but in order to preserve it as much as
possible from the ravages of time many
of tho branches have been covered with
sheet lead and are further supported by
stout wooden props, while the trunk has
been buried in a mound of earth. Tho
luxuriance of the foliage aud the crop
of fruit which it annually bears are
proof Of its vitality, but to insure
against accidents and perpetuate the
tree an otfshoot has been planted close
by. In the event of bough breaking
and falling it is divided with even JUS
tice among the fellows of the college,
and many pieces are thus preserved as
mementos of the poet 1t was during
hisresidence at Cambridge that he COM
posed his ode, con the Morning Of
Christ's Nativity" "Lycidas, too, is
intimately connected with Milton's life
at the university, since it was written
in memory of Edward King, his college
friend and contemporary, with whom
he doubtless shared the same rooms.
In those days students did not, as
now, occupy separate apartments, as
witness tho original statutes of the col
lege 'In which chambers our wish ID
that the fellows sleep two and two, but
the scholars four and four, in conse-
uuence of which much closer intimacy
was formed among them than is now
possible. DR.. johnson relates that Mil
ton was fogged at Cambridge, but the
fact is doubtful, though there is reason
to suppose that he had differences with
the authorities in the earlier part of his
college career, since he was transferred
from his original tutor. This tree is
still pointed out to visitors and was un-
til recent years especially marked by a
bough Of mistletoe growing upon it
