SUGAR AND LEGISLATION.

No safe estimates of the value of our
sugar industry in the future can be
made without some clear comprehen-
sion OF the factors that control its
value, These are: % legislation in
Washington: (2) the labor supply; (3)
over production of sugar; ca the
growth of the sugar beet industry; t5)
the future relations of Cuba and the
Philippines TO the United States; (G)
the improved cultivation of sugar cane
in tropical lands; CD the effect OF reel,
procity treaties, between the United
States and South American countries
on the prices of sugar.
The effect and prospect OF legisla,
tion only, is considered At present.
1t goes without saying that the enor
nous profits now made in the sugar
industry are due to the protective tar

profits would be, with the present low
price Of labor, reasonable and evel

sympathizing was aroused on behalf
Of the Cubans, any correct view OF
all the facts ceased. The people saw
suffering, and they thought that they
saw patient and heroic fight for indie
pendence. There was and is intense
suffering. and there is much self sacri-
flee on behalf of independence. There
are scores OF heroes and heroines
among the Cubans. But the Am 5rican
people do not take into account the
racial instincts OF the Cubans, their
ignorance and hatred OF vile Protes-
tants."
Every day of the war is a new edu-
cation OF the people. The refusal OF
the Cuban troops to aid in building
roads gives more light than a dozen
books and speeches. The war becomes
one not only for humanity, but for
general civilization, the bringing OF
the heather out of the darkness.
The singular difference between the
President and the Senate, is a curious
and interesting study in political edu-
cation.

The Saturday Review, one OF the
Oldest, and most influential Of the
British weeklies, contained series Of
savage anti-American articles. The
editor was travelling in the south OF
France, for his health, and he is most
friendly to America. He happened to
see copy Of his own paper, and its
attitude, and telegraphed to the assis-
tant editor. II have a feeling that the
Americans are at least human beings"
He directed them to climb down. This
has been gradually done. 1t has been
a distressing affair for the impetuous
assistant editor to modify his views,
especially as the Review is the beacon
light of many thousands Of conserva-
tive and aristocratic Britishers.

THE Gus GOVERNMENT

As current events of the war are
noticed, 1t Is profitable In the way of
self education to get what political in
formation we can out OF these events.
Hardly three months ago, the Sem
ate nearly came to blows with the Pre-
sident over the Cuban policy. These
Senators are as able and experienced
as the President. Many of them sur
pass him in intellectual gifts. Taken
together their collective wisdom should
be much safer and better than his.
1t was their decided opinion that the
insurgent Government of Cuba should
be promptly recognized. The Presi-
dent as decidedly disagreed with them,
The Senators and the President had
the same sources OF Information. Both
could command all the funds needed
to obtain It. Both We're in easy com
munlcation. General Fltzhugh Lee
the man better Informed than all
others, was accessible to both.
And yet the majority Of the Senate
perhaps seventy Statesmen" demand
ed the recognition of the Cuban Gov
eminent in spite of General Lees ad
vice, and the Presidents opinion. The
President, however, finally had hi
way.
And now We have the sequel; TIT
statements OF General Lee and Others
that any recognition OF that Govern
ment would cause serious embarrass
ment proves to be true, the momen
foothold is secured in Cuba, by on
troops. There is evidence that II

THE RED CROSS AND THE ARMY

The relations of the Red Cross So
ciety to the army are not generally
understood.
The army has, theoretically, the
means and organization for taking
care of its sick and wounded. But it
Is an imperfect, even crude system,
perhaps sufficient when men and wO-
men did not realize what the suffering
on the battle field was, or the wicked
indifference with which the wounded
were treated by their own friends.
The Red Cross is an organization
which is not under army discipline. 1t
voluntarily aids the army, and contri-
butes material and manual aid and
skill, where the army Is deficient. But
the army Is a unit, body under strict
discipline and the Red Cross has no
right whatever to interfere with that
discipline. Its relation to the army Is
always delicate one, because 1t Is
not subject to military discipline, and
suggestions that 1t may make are open
to quick resentment by the surgeon,
and his STAFF.
We knew good deal about the
| treatment of the sick and wounded
soldiers during the Civil War. Some
of the surgeons and their assistants
were Christ-like in conduct, ideal
men. But there were scores of them
| that should have been shot on the
spot. They were negligent, unskilful
lacking in education, lazy, and con,
ceited They neglected the sick, and
guzzled whiskey while the wounded
were waiting for treatment.
The Red Cross dealt with such men
were not always discreet and made
unnecessary trouble. Wrangling'
about towels and soap were going oil
in field hospitals, while soldiers wer'
giving up the ghost. The medica
men OF the army were appointed, no
on their merits but upon their politica
backing. In the regular army, durinI
long years OF peace, the surgeons he
come rusty, and may go for years with
out performing or seeing, an importan
surgical operation. Touchy, conceite
surgeons resent interference.
On the whole, the relations of III
Red Cross to ihe army officers are cor
r. dial, as they should be. ExperlenC
r has taught the Red Cross manager
= to use infinite tact in dealing wit
the army. If they see, and during tn
v Civil War they did see, abuses enough

the contribution OF $500, by President
Dole to "the Maine relief fund" are
these in part:
but they this frlends) do question
his judgment in taking the whole
thing in his own hands, without any
public expression from the people OF
Hawaii, and placing the niggerly sum
OF $500 as the cash value OF the sym

men who went down on the Maine.
"To contribute to the Maine fund wa
a commendable thing to do. If Pre-

fat on that brings these extraordinary
profits.
The wheat. the cotton, the corn. the
hay industries of the country are un-
protected, and left to competition with
the "pauper," or rather, cheap labor
of the world. Their profits are regulat-
ed by the great natural laws OF trade
which are more uniform and certain
than laws which may be made and I'M
made in an hour by several hundred
politicians who make up legislatures.
The working OF the natural laws are
little understood by any OF us. The
reader OF Mulhalfs history Of prices
sees at once that we know little OF
the forces that frame these natural
laws Of supply and demand. At thu
same time they are more stable and
INTEL gent than the shifting economic
laws of the politicians.

THE REGULARS.

As director OF public thought IN
our common country, the Star has dis
covered new opening for young men
the enlistment in the regular army, II
they really are looking for an honor.
able career"
1t is the first occasion that any
newspaper in the Union has proposed
ii. 1t shows that the United states.
besides acquiring strategical posi-
ton here, has acquired fountain OF
ideas. Until this moment the press OF
America has been entirely ignorant
of the fortunate opportunities, nor
have the orators, or scholars, even
limited at them, or even suspected
them.
On the other hand, the press always
and persistently encouraged enlistment
in the volunteer forces, in times or
peace or war, as high patriotic duty,
because it did not interfere with the
honorable career of citizen, and men,
Der of the community.
The, bravery OF the Regulars has
never for moment been questioned.
The British adore their own Regulars,
for their magnificent fighting quail
ties, even though kipling makes one
of them sing in the ballad:
We're most Of us liars, were arr or us
thieves, an the rest as rank as
can be,
But once in n while we can finish IN
style (Which 'ope 1t won't
'appen to mel"
There are no better fighters in the
world than the British and American
Regulars, while the morale OF the lat
ter is much superior.
We are told that less than one en-
listed man in the Regulars, out OF three
hundred, ever gets a commission, and
the pay is $l3 per month.
While the common farm laborer gets,
according to the census. $50 per month
and car driver gets more, and a car
pcnter gets three hundred per cent
more, there must be an intense
abnormal desire for something high
err" as the Star says, and "divinely
higher" when young man in search
of IAN honorable career" accepts the
wages OF coolie on a plantation, with
the chances OF one in three hundred OF
ever getting a commission.
We asked, last week, one OF the
Regulars, why he had enlisted. lie re-
Piled: busted twice in the grocery
business, and wanted an easier Job. "
The Star would paraphrase 1t "the
progressive young man. having ex.
hausted his resources in solving one
OF the complicated problems OF eco.
monte life, sought for something high,
err than the Elusive increment OF coin
| and allied himself to an occupation
where the emolument of Sl3 per month
| ceased to stimulate his ambition fol
| earthly treasure, and tyed his mind OF
the pious duty OF serving his coun'
try, as he could not do in any civil oc'
cupation."
Even if public opinion in our com
mon country fails to appreciate the
new opening for young men discov
cred by our contemporary, the fact re
mains that the Regui3rs when onc'
baptised in the fire of the battle tield
have no superiors.
