sUBSiDfziNa A PACIFIC CABLE.

~DStDfIfN a f3tIFft 'dBLf.
Senator Lodge hns introduced by re.
quest n bill to provide for n submarine
cable between the United States and
Hawaii. Under this bill the postmaster
general Is authorized to contract with
the Pacific cable company of New York
for the payment of S125.OOO per year
for the transmission of official messages
to Honolulu.
In reality this Is a proposition for the
United States government to guarantee
and pay Az per cent on 100000 of
twenty-year bonds in consideration of
free transmission during that period of
all official correspondence between San
Francisco and Honolulu. In other
words the government is asked to bind
itself to pay S342.5O n day for twenty
years to cover the tolls for the dis
patches it may transmit between
San Francisco and Honolulu.
The actual cost of the cable from San
Francisco to Honolulu, 1000 miles, is
estimated to be S2,OOO,OOO. But the
government subsidy being sufficient to
pay interest on $3,OO0,000, the pro,
moters' net profit, assuming the equip
ment of stations to cost $2jO,OOO, would
be $IJO.OOO. while the cable company
would have its income from commercial
business to pay operating expenses and
a sinking fund to take up the bonds
at the expiration of twenty years.
Assuming that the Pacific cable be-
tween San Francisco and Honolulu has
become a military as well as commercial
necessity, why should the government
enter INTO any compact with Il private
corporation that demands a subsidy suf-
ficient to pay the principal and interest
of the entire costI The government can
borrow money on it's bonds at 3 per
cent. With an outlay of 100000 it
can build its own cable with an interest
charge of only 100000 a year. That
would leave $65,OOO a year to be set
apart for n sinking fund which, with
the net earnings from commercial bust
ness. would surely enable the govern
ment to take up it's bonds at the end
Of twenty years.
~ Nv oic 'toc thc SONclllllcHl Woulu
have it's official business done at a cost
of S125,O0O a year without acquiring
any property in the cable. In the other
the government would be at no greater
expense and w the cable. Inasmuch
as the government has built military
telegraphs and laid submarine cables
without encountering any obstacles, no
valid reason can be presented why the
government should not build and oper-
ate the proposed Pacific cable.
The contemplated extension Of the
cable from Honolulu to Manila and
japan is at best premature. Nobody at
this day can foretell with any degree
of certainty whether the Philippines
Will remain possessions Of the United
States for any great length of time, but
even should they be permanently an
nexed, government ownership of the
Pacific cable would still be preferable
to subsidizing a private cable company.

The exposition idea is breaking out for
a second time in San Francisco in the
shape Of a proposed international fair
to be held in 1901. If San Francisco,
whose Midwinter show was only a par
tial success, feels encouraged to hold a
second exposition, why not Omaha after
the unqualified triumph Of the Trans
mississippi Exposition Of 1898?

That tho governments Of Europe are main

Foolishness is the midest term the Times
cam apply to the inland editors who are so
vigorously protesting against the proposed
Omaha exposition. There is but one ten
able objection to another exposition and
that is to any appropriation of state money
for exposition purposes. Outside Of this
proposition 1t is none OF the business of
other towns whether Omaha shall or shall
not hold an exposition. The Times is I'M
alterably opposed to the appropriation OF
state money for exposition or other private
purposes, but we can offer no valid objection
to Omaha's proposed show on any other
grounds. Indeed, we hope Omaha win hold
an exposition this year, provided that no
state appropriation shall be demanded or
received.

Treasurer Meserve's first term bond
was in the sum of $2,OOO,OOO. His sec
ond term bond Is in the sum of $780,
600, yet the local popocratic organ wants
to make the people believe that the
treasurer's bond has not been reduced.
Should the next governor be a repub-
lican and require a 100000 bond from
IA republican treasurer we presume the
same organ of delusion would insist
that the bond must be raised.
