that Senator Thurston has adopted this view

confirmation than has yet come TO hand. To do
so would be TO pay a scant compliment TO the
Nebraska Senator's intelligence and falr-mind-
edness But the use Of his name In connection
with IT, though probably unwarranted. gives the
objection an importance II would not otherwise
possess. and entities it to a reply OF which 1t
would otherwise scarcely he worthy. Such re-
ply is not hard to make Everybody knows
that the beet-sugar producers in the Pacific
States have been able 10 thrive notwthstand-
ing Hawaiian competition free Of duty. and that
coolie labor IN the Hawaiian Islands has made
competition in beet-sugar production sharper
than It would be after annexation. II is equally
evident that the cost Of transportation from the
islands to the Pacific Coast and thence TO in
land markets is In itself protective tariff suf
ficient TO defend any such industry.

not commonly consider 1t patriotic to hold up

welfare of the whole country should be sacri-

State whose farmers intend TO grow beet sugar.
In the present there ia no promise even OF
such advantage. Or, rather, there Is no good
ground for supposng that the beet-sugar indus

by the annexation OF Hawaii. But however
that might be, the whole is greater than a part.
The interests Of the Nation are superior TO those

The extinction Of the Manhattan. OF course, was

perhaps more profitable relations with Croker.
What was looked for, then. by readers Of

newspaper implicitly ever since it unified the
Republican party by Safeguarding It's most
trusted leaders. and elected General Tracy by
minority Of one-ffth OF the total vote. was
either the summary AMI heroic expulsion Of
Mugwumpery from the Union League Club or
