The American Agriculturist, which is
opposing the annexation Of the Philip
pines and other sugar growing countries
on the ground that their competition will
be disastrous to the beet sugar industry,
quotes from a letter written some years
ago by Congressman Dingley, in which
he said that "unquestionably any action
which would result in the free admission
of sugar produced in Cuba and the Phil
ippines would prove disastrous to the
sugar growing interests in the United
States. now SO successfully inaugurated.
Mr. Dingley would not wish to revise
that opinion today of course, for nothing
has happened that would alter the
effect of the competition of these sugar
producing countries; and holding this
opinion he would naturally be led
by his well known desire to foster home
industry to oppose the annexation of the
Philippines Up to the present time, we
believe, he has not expressed himself for
or against annxation, though his re-
mark that the great conservative relig-
ious element faVors annexation. and
that it is entitled to great weight,
might seem to indicate that he
was less opposed to annexation than he
was when he was looking at it from an
economic standpoint purely.

Emperor Issues Long Explanation Of His
New Policy.

Pekln. September ia remarkable
series Of Imperial edicts has been pub.
lished during the last few days. The
ediots have startled the officials. and
making favorable impression upon the
old foreign residents, who are usually
scepticaI as to the practical value of such
orders.
The Emperor has addressed to the
people long explanation of his new
policy, declaring that in many respects
western civilization is superior to the ex-
listing order in his dominion and an
nouncing his intention to adopt its good
features and discard the bad ones.
!. The most radical edict establishes a
postal service throughout the empire. In
it the Emperor asks the people to Cooper
ate with him in making the newly estab-
lished system a success, assuring them
that they will thus aid in strengthening
the resources of the empire.
A fresh ediot followed extending
practically to everybody the right to
memorabilia the throne, privilege here
tofore restricted to certain classes.
The latest edict commands that month
" accounts be rendered to the govern
ruent of the receipts and expenditures
everywhere and that these accounts be
published.
The Emperor directs that the edicts be
nosted throughout the country in order
that the people may see he endeayors to
promote their welfare, which he is
making.

The only issue involved in the congress.
sipnsl election this fall is the issue of a
sound currency against debauched cur
rency, of the present gold standard
against silver standard. Every Demo-
cratic state convention has endorsed the
Chicago platform, some of them pointing
with especial pride to the currency plank.
and every Democratic candidate for Con-
gress is practically committed to the free
and unlimited coinage of silver. A
Deplocratic House cannot actually alter
our present standard, because President
Mckinley stands in the way, but it can
threaten it and by SO doing excite dis.
trust in business and financial circles ana
so check the rising tide of commercial
and industrial prosperity; and everybody
who votes for Democratic congressman
will be contributing to bring about this
much to be deplored result BY keeping
the currency ssue out of sight, the issue
which alone is involved, and raising an
outcry about the treatment of the soldiers

thoroughness with which they do their
work. The fact that the board will not
have the power to compel the attendance
of witnesses may hamper it somewhat,
though the opinion seems to be that that
difficulty has been exaggerated. 1t Is not
vet known whether the boards investi-
cation will be public or behind oil osed
doors Certainly an inquiry which had
an appearance of secrecy about it would
not command the public confidence that
an open one would, and for that reason 1t
seems likely that the open and public
method will be adopted.

GENERALS WANT ASSIGNMENTS.

Washington, September 19.-Major
Generals Bates and Sumner, who were
prominent in the Santiago campaign,
reported at the war department today.
They are expecting a new assignment I'M
der the plan which is in contemplation
for the distribution of troops. They have
been at Montauk, but the breaking up of
the camp there leaves many officers
without duty. Gen. Miles, with whom
they conferred, has been very busy with
his scheme of reorganization, but it has
not yet reached point which makes
obtainable any definite Information as to
where troops or commanding officers Will
go. cs.o-
1t is almost settled that Gen, Shafter
will return to San Francisco and resume
command of the department Of California;
Such is his desire and no doubt it will
be complied with.
The probability that number Of gen.
eral and staff volunteers will be dispensed
with has caused discussion among those
who may be among the number to be
dropped. Most officers desire to remain
in the service and influence is being
brought to bear to keep them on the rolls
of the war department.

RUSSIA STILL OUR FRIEND.

Hartford, Conn.,, September IA
special to the Times from Narrangansett
pier gives an interview with Count
Cassini, the Russian ambassador in which
he said among other things: There has
been absolutely no change in Russian
sentiment or policy toward the United
States, nor does there exist a reason for
such change within ny knowledge.
Russian policy does not conflict with IN
terests of the United States in any part Of
the world, no more in China than in

Public sentiment as 1t reaches Wash
ington appears to be overwhelmingly IN
favor of holding everything over which
the flag has bean raised. At the same
time public sentiment as 1t reaches the
newspapers and is voiced by them appears
to demand that all the volunteer troops
be discharged from the service immedl-
ately and sent home. Within week two
influential Boston journals, of opposite
politics have strenuonely maintained that
the government was violating the spirit
of the contract with the volunteer, If not
the letter, by holding them in the service
to do garrison duty in Cuba and Porto
Rico. One Of them thus puts the case" The
volunteers enlisted to fight and now that
the fighting is over they are entitled to
their discharge. All this reminds
one of the sentiment of the
convention of the mice which
was unanimous in favor of belling
the cat, and equally unanimous that no
member of il should take the risk Of ty-
ing the bell to the feline neck. Every
body. we are assured, wants the flag kept
nm over every foot Of new territory, but
nobody wants to stand at the base OF the
staff and prevent its being hauled down.
Even the religious editors, anxious as
they are about the heather, have 80 far
manifested no disposition to enlist them
selves. or to encourage others to enlist for
this lob. On the contrary. many OF them
by painting in luFid hues tho sufferings,
undergone by the volunteers appear to
be, indirectly at least, discourag ing en-
listment.
It is as certain as anything can be
That the flag cannot be kept flying over
the Philippines without stationing troops
there approximating 100, 600 in number.
Now where are these troops to come from.
Public sentiment insists that the volun-
teers shall not be utilized because they
enlisted for fighting and not for police
duty, and the entire regular army does
not reach much above two thirds OF the
requisite number, not more than enough
| to properly garrison Cuba and Porto
Rico, If the volunteers are not to be USED
there Possibly in course OF time we
might enlist enough regular troops for
the purpose, but the revelations concern
| ing the condition of the troops In Chick
amauga, and the outcry that has gone
up on account OF them. have had very
depressing effect upon the recruiting bus
mess, and it would take many months, If
not years, to 1ncreae the regular army to
the necessary size. There are some vol
unteer troops at Manila now. but they
can't be kept there a great while. for q
public sentiment that insists that the
volunteers shall not be sent to Cuba and
Porto Rico is not going to permit theln
to remain long at Manila. We are still
| on the threshold of our expansion policy,
and yet we are already confronted by
what appears to be the insolvable prob
lem of how to supply the armies that are
| needed to carry it out while nobody is
| willing to enlist.

CURRENT COMMENT.
IMPERIAL FU RNIsHINGs
(Biddeford journal. J

\
1t is already plain enough that one re-
suit Of the late war will be an enormous
increase in the size of the army and the
navy. Heretofore the army has been
needed only as sort OF national police
force and has averaged about %, GOO men.
Now ii is proposed to increase 1t four
fold, for a starter: and since We are going
into theSempirs business, like tho Old
World nations. we may expect to see II
increased even more before long.
AS to the navy, although we have lot
of new warshirs Building now and can
read of the launching and christening OF
one every month or two Secretary Long
calls for many more. In his annual re-
port he strongly recommends that our
sea power be reinforced ty the addition
of up to-date battleships and cruisers,
which will cost. exclusive of armor and
armament, upward Of $S6, 900, GOO. His
recommendation include three sea going
hattleships of 15 500 tons displacement.
TO cost So, 500, 600 each; three sheathed and
coppsred arInored cruisers of IL, 600 tons
displacement. to cost 81, 000, 900 each three
protected cruisers of 5000 tons displace
nlent, totcost 3d. 30. 600 each. and six
cruisers of about 5000 tons displacement.
to cost 81, l41, 800 eaoh.
There is no doubt that this great in
crease in the army and in the navy will
be voted The furniture necessary to fit
gut an empire comes high, but we've got
to have it.
