UNFORTUNATE REQUESTS

The leading papers OF the Mainland do
not receive kindly the suggestion made
by the Planters and the Chamber OF
Commerce, that Congress suspend for
a time the immigration and shipping
laws. The papers that have been very
staunch friends of annexation talk
rather sharply about II. We must
realize, as the most of us do not, that
the United States did not annex us
because they loved us. nice as we are,
but because they wanted a strategical
point in the Pacific. There are hun
dreds OF places that would be bene-
fitted commercially, II America would
only choose TO give them special ad-
vantages.
You have had many years in which
to prepare for the rainy day. In
stead Of spending your surplus earn
ings In great dividends. you should
have a large sum. even a million, on
hand with which to build bridges over
the rising streams OF trouble"
Our general policy now seems to be
that Of the Spanish admiral in Manila
when Dewey caught him; lie at anchor
and trust to Providence.
1t Is simply absurd, Of course, to call
the attention Of a body of men In any
community to coming danger. It Is
only when they hear the roar Of the
coming storm that body Of men begin
to look for shelter. The general failure
Of all men to correctly predict what
will happen, leads them TO abandon
any attempt at even ordinary fore
sight

FINAL SETTLEMENT.

II Is needless for us TO discuss the
personal relations OF Colonel Barber
with the members Of the Board of
Health The report of the President
OF the Board, published in our issue OF
the 2Sth, carries Its own argument. As
to Colonel BARRIERS attitude in the
matter, SO far as It effects the lives Of
his own men, and his treatment of
American citizens who are under mill
tary discipline, he will have TO explain
that to the fathers, the mothers, the
sisters, and the fellow citizens of the
men who are under him. These en-
listed men may be military slaves here
but In their own homes they are free
men. or course the War Investigating
Committee in Washington will be duly
informed of these interesting incidents
II would be only just to the command
ant and the Board for this committee
to make an examination.

ONLY ONE ISSUE.

The Advertiser will engage In no
newspaper controversy regarding the
merits Of any differences, personal or
otherwise. existing between the mill
tary commandant and the Board OF
Health. Such controversies usually in
volve questions OF fact which can only
be clearly determined by some author
ity that can compel the production OF
testimony.
The Advertiser presents now only
one single and simple issue. Is the
Board OF Health or the military CON-
mandant supreme in declaring and en-
forcing sanitary regulations? II the
commandant is, then he will have his
own way. II the Board of Health is
then II must have it's own way. Until
that point Is settled, the commandan,
and the Board may be setting between
each Others legs" while men are dy-
INK OF disease. Both may be quite
parliamentary to each other from day
to day. That does not settle the vita
question OF supreme authority. There
is but one issue. Where lies the pow
or! A word from Washington settles
II. Let US get that word.

MONEY FOR WAR AND FOR
BIBLES.

At the meeting Of the Christian and
Missionary Alliance, held In New York
City on the 10th of October, about
sl0O. 900 was pledged by subscription
for the conversion OF the heather. 4
poor washerwoman led OF by a cash
contribution of $40.
Rev. MIR. Simpson, the head of the
movement said:
In the subjugation of Cuba and the
Philippines our navy paved the way
for our army, and God was the leader
of both. IL was a war Of Christianity
and civilization and humanity, and God
has avenged the horrors Of the Spanish
lnquisition. During the war We heard
a good deal about the part played by
l3-inch shells. For the cost OF firing
one OF these shells once, We could
maintain two missionaries, in China
or Africa, or the Philippines or Cuba
for year. Surely two missionaries
are worth more than a l3-inch shell"
The total expenses Of the American
Board OF Commissioners for Foreign
Missions, that has planted stations In
nearly every heather land, was about
100000 for the year 1897. The cost
Of prosecuting the war against Spain
was nearly 100000 per day. This
great Christian nation spent more
money in one day, for the cause OF
humanity in Cuba, than the Board OF
Missions spent In a year, though II
reached all the pagan world.
| Why IL II that the enlightened peo-
pie of Christian Republic are willing
to spend such enormous sums for kill
ing men, and such insignificant sums
for converting them?
Men put their money where they put
their faith Men also put their money.

most good"

great mission In the world. have more
faith in rapid firing guns than 1t does
In Bibles What would be the condi-
ton OF the heather today, II the ma
ton had spent as much in giving them

1t has spent in this Spanish war OF
three months?
1t is idle to quarrel with the course
Of events. Burke said: He censures
God, who quarrels with the imperfec-
tons of man"
Some explain this curious inconsis-
tency in conduct. Prof. Shaler Is one
Of them, by calling our attention TO the
fact that We are still not far from the
savages in our instincts. and only 1.-The
rudimentary forces are yet at work"
Only on this theory can be explained
our fondness for watching a sea fight,
while We are Indifferent TO a Bible
fight.
Those who organize and conduct mis-
sionary operations know that the dol
lar behind the Bible Is Just AS impor-
ltant as the dollar behind the gun, and
THAT the heather will remain In a
"perishing condition" unless more
dollars are taken from behind the
guns. and put behind the Bibles.

ROOSEVELT ON A SURF BOARD.

The Republican leaders in the State
of New York felt that Colonel Roose-
welt would venture to make very indis-
Greet remarks II he stumped the State
after his nomination. SO the question
Of putting muzzle on him was care
fully discussed. The Colonel however
informed the committee that he would
do as he pleased, and that ended the
scheme for muzzling him.
The Colonel is rather noted for his
energy and "indiscretion." The word
"indiscretion" In this connection refers
TO the unfortunate habit OF some men

TROPICAL CLIMATES.

Al This moment Hawaii is the only

Porto Rico and the Philippines. equal
iy tropical may be added in due time.
Notwithstanding the immense domain
of the Republic. events have tended
to increase that domain in the direc-
zion of the North Pole, rather than
towards the equator. The year 1898,
brings sudden and abrupt change
OF that course OF events.
Up to the present time the States OF
Florida and California have claimed
to be essentially tropical, and have
solicited immigration from every d.

TYPHOID FEVER.

According to returns OF the Board OF
Health, published in another place, /,
appears that the average OF deaths per
annum from typhoid fever during the
last five years is 10. OF the IS cases
90 were those OF non-residents. And
of the total more than one-half were
japanese who brought the disease with
them. This death rate among 10000
residents, the large majority Of whom
are natives and Asiatics, is conclusive
proof that this Island is singularly free
from the disease. The presence of the
disease, therefore, in the military
camp with, 1t is reported, over fifty
men suffering from 1t, is not due &c
any usual conditions here, and so Il
should be distinctly understood on the
Mainland.

representation, often deliberately
made; in the booming Of lands on the
assertion that frost comes once In
thirty or forty years" In the solemn
declaration OF the land spectators,
based on the reports Of the Oldest in

up to the northern part Of the state.

clared, few years ago, that with the
exception OF the killing frost of the
year 1885, there had been no danger
Gus frosts for fifty years.
The ''tenderfeet" believed and immi-
grated. The result has been a pitiful
story of sorrow, distress and anxiety.

well down to the 2Gth parallel OF lati-
tude. and even at Tampa. there are
