THE NEW ATTORNEY GENERAL.

MIR. Cooper should discharge the du-
ties of Attorney General with credit TO
himself, because he has had consider
able judicial experience, and was held
in nigh estimation by the Bar as
judge. He is also familiar with the
social condition of our mixed races
and will not make errors from lack of
knowledge. He is also familiar with
the routine duties OF the Attorney Gen
erals Office.
He has yet to show what his execu-
tive ability is in the rather difficult
position of President of the Beard Of
Health The sanitary conditions of the
city requf~- constant attention, and in
enforcing sanitary regulations there is
always more or less friction. He will
undoubtedly make AN efficient officer.
AT the time, in 1897, when Mr.
Cooper, as acting Attorney General,
drove back to Japan 1859 immigrants,
the Advertiser believed that it was an
unnecessary act of cruelty, and, prob
ably, violation of the treaty rights.
The subsequent payment of indemnity
WAS not however a recognition of the
correctness of the legal position taken
by bhe Japanese government.
AT the time the poor unfortunate
immigrants were driven back, it seem
ed as if he alone was responsible for
a cruel act, even if it was lawful. But,
an justice TO Mr.. Cooper, it should be
said that he only represented the
views of the dominant party in the
community which had declared in its
platform that all of its power and
influence would be used to restrict
Asiatic immigration Guided as it was
by lofty principles in its purpose to
make these Islands a White Mans
country, it exacted of the Attorney
General and he responded. to it, the
utmost vigilance in driving back the
Asiatic invasion. 1t was not Mr.. Coop
er, but the community acting through
him that forced the unhappy immi-
grants home. The government must
represent the people,
Since that fearful outbreak Of in
dignatiOn against the Asiaitics,
fdle community, including the do
minant party has found on a closer
and more exhaustive analysis Of its
lofty principles, that it is a very mar
row and "un-American" view OF the
matter to resist any Japanese invasion.
On the other hand, we are under the
strongest obligations as humble assist
ants in carrying the White Mans bur-
den, to give the open door" to the
Japanese. This We are now doing, and
ff Providence permits, will continue to
do, until selfish politicians ON the
Mainland interfere and arrest the good
work.
MFR. Cooper, as he reflects upon the
nOsition which he was forced to take
by the dominant party, will quite agree
with Disraeli when he said that:
There is nothing in which the power
of circumstance is more evident than
in politics. Another power of circum-
stance operates with overwhelming
force when there is a dollar in sight,
bilt not in hand.
We hope that Mr.. Cooper will. i'm the
coming years, he identified with the
progress OF these Islands, and, If he
desires to hold office, will secure 1T,
by reason of meritorious services rem
dered.

Gomez Again Pouting

Old man Gomez has again hied himself to his hammock in the in terior of Cuba to get cured of the sulks. This time he is pouting about the deal made with the Uni ted States for the paymentof Cuban troops. Some months ago Gen. Garcia was sent to Washington as a special representative of Gomez and his followers to negotiate with the administration for the payment of the insurgent army. During the performance of this service Gen. Garcia died in Washington, not how ever, until he had negotiated d deal with the administration for the pay ment of $100 each to the rank and fife Of the Cuban army and larger sums for the officers ranging from $500 to 5000 each. But Gen. Gomez is not pleased with this settlement aud therefore he sulks. lie wants more. He wants each soldier to receive all the way from $13 to S36 a month for three years services, and the officers to receive sums aegre- gating from 2,000 to $3, 300 each For himself Gomez wants the salary of an American lieutenant-genera for three years services, or $33, 000l It is estimated that to comply with his demands would require $57 ,000, = 000- This leads the Washington correspondent of the Chicago Record to write of Gomez as follows:
 aGomez was always mercenary, He would not accept the leadership of the insurgent forces in 1895 until he was paid $40, ,000. At the end of the first yea, in April, 1896, he retired into he mountains under the plea of i'll health, and refused 10 take the field until rore money was raised for him, but after that his avarice was satisfied by the oppor- tunity offered him of blackmailing planters and other property-owner fn b1e pTONlHCtS Wueie ue was EdtU- ing It is not believed that be will be satisfied with anything less than an opportunity to rule as dictator in Cuba if the United States will not pay his price.
 Gomez's attitude is causing Presi- dent Mckinley considerable anxiety The President has sent Rcbt. P Porter (of census fame) as his special representative to find Gomez in his native Cuban haunts and ascertain just what the old man wants. But Gomez is a sly old fox and knows how to make the best of an opportunity, but We opine that he will be willing to accept consit- erably less than $57 000, 900 for him self and men before he will let the deal for little ready cash slip through his willy old hands.
 It is merely play Tor more, and the old man will doubtless receive enough additional money to pay for his pouting.

MExIco's MONEY.
How IL Il Manufactured
at Present.

Before Mexico was invaded by the
Spaniards coins were unknown in this
country, the natives using in the place
of money the smallest cacoa beans. re-
ceiying those of larger size and better
quality for the manufacture OF liquor,
to which they are much addicted.
About Il years after the conquest
that is to say, about the year 1895, Cas-
tilian coin commenced to make its APP
pearance in Mexico. Asst arrived, how
ever, only In very small quantities, it
proved itself insufficient for the needs
of trade, even though the latter was
still of very Insignificant proportions.
1t was them that the ruling viceroy, un-
der authority of a royal decree, ordered
the manufacture in the City of Mexico
of small pieces OF silver Of a certain
weight. These pieces were not stamped
with any coinage whatsoever, and
their value was determined entirely by
their weight and size From this was
derived the name peso" which has
outlived the first attempt at making
money in Mexico up to the present.
These pieces of silver remained in cir
culation number of years, and pieces
of gold and Of copper were also added
in time. Soon, however, it was found
that this sort of circulating medium
made fraud and abuse extremely easy,
and the Spanish government, taking
cognizance of this fact, established by
royal decree three mints, granting
them a perpetual existence for Amer
lea. These mints were located in San
Luis, Santa Fe andthe City of Mexico.
The same decree also provided that
in San Domingo, on the Spanish island
known today as Porto Rico, only cop
per money should be made, according
to the regulations governing the mint
of CASTLE in the year 1889. The coin
age Of Mexico was actually begun dur
ing the reign of Viceroy Antonio de
Mendoza, who established q mint in
/ buildings belonging to Marquis del
= Vale. Here it remained only a short
4 time. being transferred first 20 the
t. council buildings and later to the Vice
royal palace. During all this time the
coinage was Of considerable amount
o and the facilities of the establishment
were not sufficient TO meet the demands
made upon it for coins, for which rea
son frequent demands for minting ap
paratus are found in the ancient rec
\ ords. In the year 177s the mint wai

TIDES IN ENGLISH CHANNEL
Heads OF Great britain Are Anxious
TO Reduce It's Dangers to
Minimum.

The prince of Wales is greatly exer-
cised over the recent accident in the
English channel. As peer expressed
IL, "his royal highness does not like
to feel that he is living upon an island
defended and barricaded like the feudal
barons Of old, by high seas that dash
TO pieces friend and foe alike"
The crown, IL is asserted upon the
best authority, viii shortly offer prize
10 be tried for by competition which
will be opened to all civil engineers
of the world. The prize offered will be
no less than a fortune sterling for a
plan by which the English channel can
be reduced from a rolling torrent to a
calm, peaceful sea.
Crossing the channel for years nas
been the dread of the TRANSATLANTIC
journey. Tourists who travel as far
as London in safety are unable TO cross
the channel TO France without suffer-
ing untold tortures of seasickness.
Traffic across the channel at certain
periods of the year is absolutely dan
gerous, and at times commerce is great
ly delayed by the uncertainty of the
voyage. The journey, which, under
ordinary circumstances, ought to be
taken in a little over a night, is some
times prolonged 30 hours, and then
upon the very best steamers. Upon
slow-going freight steamers it is almost
indefinite. The highest type Of machin-
cry is required TO make the journey on
time.
At times various schemes have beer
proposed for stemming the current or
undertow from the North sea and the
North Atlantic ocean around the Brit
ish isles. The isles act as a dam to the
water, which, sweeping southwark by
mighty undertow, is caught by them
only to break and sweep through the
channel with incredible rapidity.
Many of The schemes have been al
most unique, notably one advanced by
a Danish civil engineer for building q
brealwater north of Wales. This
which was TO extend for many hun
dred feet into the water was TO be
constructed south from Denmark and
north from Wales, leaving a small oper
space through which boats could sail
This, the engineer claimed, would have
a tendency TO allow less water to SWEEP
through the channel, and would thus
calm the tide. Other schemes of break
water have been proposed, the mos
extravagant Of which was the filling il
of the channel by means of mud seows
so that, instead of being a deep pas
sage, il would be in places very shal
low.
Modern engineering has become sucl
a highly developed science that moth
ing seems impossible to it, and it i
thought that some engineering geniu
will have a remedy by which the Eng
/ lish channel can be made calm.
Prominent engineers in this countr,
= shake their heads at the suggestion ant
say ''impossible!" but English engi
neers are more sanguine.
At present one of the features of tn
channel Is the life-saving service, whie
is the strongest in Europe.-rhiiadel
