far removed from the great powers Of
Europe. 1t is worthy Of note that while
no one In particular seems to be after
Hawaii but the United States, we hear
great deal about the ACKNOWLEDGMENT
OF the Chinese empire and not long ago
the same cry prevailed Az to the POSI-
bllity of Turkey meeting the same
fate.
In view Of these facts 1t would appear
that the little States" are in far less
danger OF destruction than some of the
larger ones. The fact Is as the Record
observes that as much as the nations
may covet the harbor of Honolulu. there
is far lcss danger of the seizure Of
Hawaii by an outside power now or In
the future than there has been at any
time in the last hundred years for the
simple reason that no nation would in
wife 4 war with the United States for
so prccarious possession. All the ma

WHAT JAPAN Is DOING.

1t must not be supposed that Japan
Is giving all It's time and money
simply TO building warships, though 1t
must be conferred that she is doing
great deal in the way of enlargng
and otherwise Strengthening her navy.
While very large sums of money are
being expended III this line. still the
people are not forgetting the import
ance Of building up manufacturing in
dustrics. Japan Is building any num-
Der Of cotton factories and seems de-
termined to put matters on very solid
basis in that line.
The British steamship Indiana has
been chartered to land 1000 bales of
cotton and large cargo of pig iron
at Mobile from which place she will
go to New Orleans to take on an adj
ditional 5000 or 10000 bales Of cotton,
and then she will sail direct for Yoko-
homa and Higo, Japan. This ship is
one or many which of late have taken
cargoes OF cotton from this country to
Japan. while machinery for cotton
factories have been shipped for the
past several months from several
points In Pennsylvania to the little
Kingdom in the East
Texas has shipped considerable cot
ton to Japan by rail to San Francisco
and thence by steamer. and 1t looks
as though the Southern cotton pro-
Queer IS going to find in that country
profitable market for the product,
ana that the demand is likely to in
crease with each year.

GEN. SClEOFIEID ON HANNA

General John NJ. Schofield has writ
ten letter TO Senator Morgan or Ala
hama In which he discusses ut como
length the 'strategical Importance" of
Hawaii TO the United States. and In
comment thereon the Philadelphia Re-
cofd reminds the writer that while it is
true that q professional opinion from 90
hlSh an authority must have infinitely
more weight with the public than that
or the militant Jingoes who talk learn
ediy OF the necessity of owning and for
ttying Hawai-! as n defense of the Cali
fornia coast and the Nicaragua canal.
yet 1t is nevertheless. a fact confirmed
by all history that distant colonial nos
sessions or so-callcd bases of opera
tons, have proven points OF the great
est weakness in times OF war, and such
Is the fact. How often in the European
wars OF the Eighteenth Century. asks
our contemporary, did the English
French and Dutch possessions in North
and South America, in the West Indies
and on the Western coast of Africa
change hands? Sometimes they chang
ed owners more than once in the same
war. In the midst of his splendid vic
tories on the Continent of Europe Ma
poleon was obliged to sell Louisiana be-
cause he could not hold 1t. When the
wars were over the principle of "uti
possidetis" generally prevailed in The
treaties of peace, and each power took
back the colonies which It owned at tho
beginning. But the weakness of these
distant possessions is a fact which the
unlearned can estimate as well as tho
Strategi5t. In war with a feeble
power Hawaii would be of no import
ance to this country; but in n war with
a great naval power Honolulu would he

WHY THE SOUTH WILL WIN.

The Washington Post is clearly of the
on between New England and the
South, for supremacy In the cotton
manufacturing industry that the South
will win, and it reasons in this wise:
"Other things being equal, the cost
of any product of labor is lesa In a
warm and genial climate, like that Of
the cotton growing States, than In the
rigorous climate of New England. The
single item OF fuel cuts a large figure
In the expense account of 4 New Eng
land family residing in n city, but it
amounts to very little in the cotton belt.
Clothing and bedding are other indis-
pensables in which the New England
crS labor under great disadvantage
compared with their Southern competi-
tors Rents are higher in n cold than
In I, warm climate, because 1t Is neces-
Sary to construct more costly dwellings
in the one than in the other Food is
naturally more abundant in the South
than in the Eastern States. for vege-
tables and fruits grow with little care,
and two or three crops can be grown
annually on the same ground in most
of the Southern States r'or these solid
reasons. neither legislation nor labor
organizations can change, 1t will al
ways cost less for subsistence IN the
South than in New England. And the
cost of subsistence has such relation
to the cost of labor, and. therefore, to
the cost Of production. as must inevita-
bly, be permanert factor in manu-
featuring Industries. Other things be-
ing equal, this single fact would give
the cotton States q steady, reliable adj
vantage in the business of converting
their staple irto cloths But other things
are not equal. as the South has one
other and much greater advantage
which. resting like its climate on ma
lures laws, can be held against all
competitors for all time. The proximity
of ':he factory to the field would of it
self enable the Southern manufacture
ers to make money I'm turning out
goods a prices below cost of production
In mills far removed from the fields"
The Post seems to know what it ia
talking about and Is entirely safe in
the prediction that the South will win,

CRITICISM OF THEARMY.

of the army seems TO have been en-
tirely correct 80 far as 1t related to its
strength. While 1t Is n we'll settled
policy OF the country to do without n

plain to every one that the army as
1t Is to-day is entirely too small for the
territory we possess. as 1t IS for our
pretensions. Mr.. Mcclellan, who IL a
