TOBACCO INTERESTS.

The entire tobacco interests of the
Mainland are aroused at the prospect
Of cheap tobacco from Cuba and the
Philippines. The New England tobac-
co growers declare that the annex
alton OF two of the largest leaf and
cigar producing islands and groups of
Islands in the world means the swift
and utter destruction of the leaf and
cigar interests of this country" 1T
means the impoverishment of the
most prosperous agricultural peoples
in New England" So declares the
president of the growers association
On the other hand, the manufacture
ers are demanding an outlet for their
goods. Control of the new possessions
means monopoly for American
trade. The manufacturers believe
that the tobacco growers should be
willing to suffer some impoverish-
ment in the interests of expansion
The tobacco growers, on the other
hand. do not wish to be clothed in
rags while they are carrying the flag
in the interests of Imperialism. But
the tobacco interest will not be de.
stroyed by giving Cuba and the Phil
lippines better government. And even
If there is a good deal of free trade
in the expansion policy, it may dc
more good than harm.

Heretofore, Congress has found lit
tie difficulty in dealing with the in
habitants Of the territories. because
they have been inconslderable. and
easily assimilated. The emigration of
new settlers has quickly determined
the political status of the larger part
OF such territories. But the case of
people living beyond the seas, in
Cuba, the Philippines, and even Ha-
wall, raises new questions, and some
serious ones.
These are especially important when
II is proposed, on behalf OF the inha-
bitants of the Mainland, to discrimin-
ate against industries, by subjecting
their products to tariff law. This prob
ably will not be done so far as these
Islands are concerned. But the pro-
position is not a pleasant one,

THE GREAT DEBATE.

The full reports OF the debate In
the Senate over the theory Of the re-
lation OF the territories to the FEEDER
al government are not only valuable,
but fascinating to the students OF po-
li,ical institutions. The debate re-
wives questions discussed early in the
century over the acquisition OF terri
tory. But conditions OF the nation
have 80 entirely changed during the
succeeding hundred years, the debate
is forced far beyond the lines Of the
early discussions.
It is admitted by the men OF both
parties that Senator Hoar's speech on
| EXPANSION was worthy of the best
days of the Senate. Senator Foraker's
| speech on the other side shows his
| great gifts as a keen debater. Some
Of his propositions were startling, and
deeply concern the condition of these
Islands. He says We, by act Of Con-
gress in every instance where terri
tory Is acquired declare that the con-
stitution shall be extended, and then
by act of Congress we provide legisla-
| ton that will set the principles OF the
Constitution in motion in that terri
tory: but when the legislative ma
chnery has been supplied, it then
operates there and not till then. And
in the Hawaiian bill now pending be-
fore the Senate, as suggested by the
Senator from Massachusetts,. that iden-
teal clause is TO be found
Senator Teller agrees with Senator
Foraker. When asked by Senator Al
len whether the provisions OF the
Constitution extend to Arizona and
New Mexico. he replied: They do
not extend to Arizona unless we eX-
tend them by law. No public man in
this country, save Mr.. Calhoun. ever
insisted that the Constitution Of the
country went by its own force into a
Territory" Mr.. Allen then asked Mr..
Teller: DO not the provisions of the
| Constitution now extend TO the Ha-
waiian islands, Mr.. Teller replied:
They extend there II It is provided
by law that they shall; not otherwise.
| say the Constitution has no power
to extend itself into the new territor-
les unless Congress shall so declare"
This language indicates the drift OF
sentiment held by prominent Repub-
licans. The act of Hawaiian annex
alton does not extend the Constitu-
| ton TO these Islands, but provides
that no laws shall remain in force
that are in conflict with it. Until Con-
gress shall have extended the Con
stitution To these Islands, ii has the
right TO treat the territories according
70 Its own will and pleasure, except
ing only in the matter OF certain per-
sonal rights. The claim of the Ey-
pansionists Is that the Federal gov
eminent has the right 10 regulate and
govern the territories in a manner
suitable for their conditions, and In
this respect they are not to be har-
raised by too many Constitutional
limitations. The Anti-Expansionlsts
on the other hand, insist that the
Territories must be governed strictly
in accordance with the Constitution.
Senator Foraker contends that the
opinion of the Supreme Court in the
celebrated bred Scott case, is not
binding, when II declares that the
United States cannot hold colonies.

As there will be an increasing tourist
travel In these Islands. and II will
draw from both the Asiatic and Amer
lean sides OF the ocean, as well as from
Australia, It would be a good plan &c
adopt some liberal scheme for main
tanning II. There should be a number
Of hotels with moderate prices, and
these should be situated where there
is abundant space for trees and flow
ers. The high value of land tends to
the use Of cramped space. and forbids
those tropical effects in tree, flowers

feature OF the accommodations We fur
