4 Source OF Profit, Not Expense.

The argument that the acquisition of
the Philippines has saddled a burden
of expense upon the American people
does not hold any longer. The anti
expansionists will have to fall back
upon their high moral" arguments
about 1.-The consent of the governed
etc. The figures relative to customs
receipts in the Philippines reveal the
interesting and encouraging fact that
the receipts up to July 81 have been
greater than the expenses for the
same time. If this is true during the
progress Of the Instruction, how
much greater will be the balance on
the right side when peace and order
are restored, and beginning is made
toward developing the grand resources
of the archipelago.
The receipts up TO July 81 were
s.. $50 59S. The total expenditures on
account of the Philippines up to the
same date, audited in part and esti-
mated as to the remainder, are $3,35i,-
O6S. 1t thus appears that there re-
mains balance to the credit of the
American administration in the Philip
pines. of 81, S7653O. These figures have
surprised even the officials who have
had direct charge of affairs III our
possessions in the far Pacific. Trade
with the islands has increased wonder
fully since the United States came into
actual possession, last January. The
increase is normal and natural ana is
certain to continue, not only as re
CARDS American trade but also that
ciaI possibilities of the Philippines are
almost unlimited, and instead o pc;nS
a burden of expense 20 our govern
ment the rich archipelago is certain -
be a source of constant and increasing
profit. The good showing that has
been made during the instruction.
when our expenses on the island have
been much higher than they will be, a
little later, and when the trade pos
sibilities are less than under condi-
tons of peace, will be much more
gratifying when Aguinaldo q Co. are
driven out of business, But thes2t l5s
cial figures up 10 sdate- deprive BE
anti-expansionists of a considerable
part of their ammunition.

An Alabama Experiment.

| An experiment is being made in Ala
bama which will be watched with much
interest through the country. Iiobson
city. named for the hero of the Merri-
mac, which has just been given its city
charter. is inhabited exclusively by ne
groes and consequently its mayor anu
all officials will be of the colorcd race.
The city charter was given to make Il
fair and direct test of the ability OF
the negroes to govern themselves
without aid from the whites. The city
has now about 800 population and IL Is
| the only city in the country with no
white population. The leading men OF
the community are intelligent and en-
tcrprising, and they are confident that
they canmauage their municipal affairs
wisely and well.
| There does not seem to be any good
reason why the experiment should not
be successful. In theory it looks all
right. and there will be much curiosity
| to observe its practical working. III all
goes well with Hobson city, its popula-
ton will doubtless increase rapidly,
and other cities of the same nature will
surely be founded. 1t looks as though
such a new departure might aid in
solving the race problem Of the South.
but a safe prediction can hardly be
made at this point. There are strong
! objections to be raised against the
separation of two races which must live
side by side in the South. But the eX-
pertinent now entered upon will never
bring about any such thing as a total
separation and it may relieve some of
the causes of friction that are now so
numerous. a negro city could have its
colored postmaster, for instance. with
out danger of having him riddled with
bullets for the crime of holding Il gov
eminent commission. 1t could cast its
vote in municipal. state and national
elections without intimidation or muir
der at the hands of armed mobs of
whites. BY governing itself well and
enforcing law and order in its limits
it can prove to the world that the ne
gro is worthy the rights Of citizenship
something that the South is not vt
ready to admit. Success to Hubson
City and the others to be founded on
its plan.

A Bath girl has received letter
covering 9M yards of foolscap paper,
according to the Bath Independent
man, who manages to know all that is
going on among the girls of his city.
He adds the important information
that IT is from one of her friends. 1t
isn't hard to guess the sex Of that
friend and we may be sure that about
nine yards of it are covered with
postscripts.
From the crowded cars going to
numerous parks elsewhere, we judge
that our three cities, would literally
patronizc and encourage an effort to
open Il beautiful park in our vicinity.
No spot in the State affords a better
outing ground than the beautiful Cob
bosseccontec lake. whose wooded
shores would give ,all the comfort and
beauty needed. There is considerable
interest already manifested: an cx-
tension OF the present electric road to
Hammond's Grove or vicinity would
give the people popular outing, ana
would, we doubt not. prove profit
able vestment.-Hallowcll Register.
The Journal has frequently called
attention to this matter and intends to
keep up the practice. The Register is
right regarding the need of such a
park to be easily reached from Angus
tn. HalloWcll ana Gardiner, and II Is
right when it says that the shores Of
beautiful Cobbosseecontee afford just
the place for il. The indefinite post
ponement of the construction of the
narrow gauge railroad through to
Pennington, gives the electric line an
opportunity To boom its receipts ana
benefit the three cities by an extern
