AN EASTERN DELUSION.

u RECENT debate in the Prussian Diet on the
I I outlook of the sugar industry has given rise to
no little exultation among contemporaries
of Boston, New York and Philadelphia. Their de-
light is due to agreement the part OF the Prus
sian statesmen that under American administration
Cuba Porto Rico and the Philippines will produce so
much sugar that the beet sugar industry of the tenn
perate regions of the earth will be we'll nigh unproht
able.
Commenting upon the outlook the Eastern papers
maintain that while the development of the West
Indies and the Philippines will be bad for Germany
it will be very good for the United States nasmuch
as it will save US from having to import sugar from
abroad. The argument is that from the enlarged out
put of the islands the people of the United States will
derive a clear profit undiminshed by any loss.
AS of Our exchanges puts it. "a line in
tariff giving Cuban and Porto Rico sugars a prefer
of fraction of cent pound over the bounty
fed sugar of Germany, and the islands would be
worked to their utmost capacity More than that such
preference would stimulate all the other sugar
growing West Indies, English, Dutch and French to
apply for annexation. If they got it, they would all
prosper and market would be very nearly if not
wholly supplied.
This roseate view of the prospect is due to an ilu-
sion rather than to anything in the reality America
well Germany has beet sugar industry at stake
The stimulation of sugar production in the
islands which would result from the free importation
of the product to this country would affect the
tire West from Nebraska to California 1t would
ruin of the most promising of rural indus
tries and check the prosperity of thousands of farm
who engaged in the cultivation of the
sugar beet
Our Eastern contemporaries taking too mar
survey of the situation. They perceive what
they regard prospective benefit to the East and,
pleased with the promise, pay attention the in
terests of the West 1t is certain, however that
from the standpoint of Eastern interests they mis-
taken Eastern manufacturers have no better market
than that afforded by the growing West and what
Injuries the West is react upon the East.
There is indeed no aspect of imperialism that is
genuinely favorable the interests of the people of
the United States. If the mongrel islanders prove
recalcitrant it will much to subdue and keep
them in order If they prove to be willing workers
the competition of their cheap labor will be costly
American industry in many ways.
Without imperial colonization and conquest we
and will in short time build UP sugar industry
in the United States capable of supplying all the
sugar market demands With imperialism we
shall check that industry and have our source of sup
ply far away instead of at home. Our welfare we'll

delusion to think otherwise

LEGISLATIVE
MONSTROSITIES

1t is surprising to note with what
equanimity the newspapers in Califor-
MIA regard the twin monstrosities, the
Works bill and the Morehouse bill; one,
If it becomes a law, will place in the
power of every disappointed scoundrelly
officeseeker to sue for libel or damages
without any provocation or without
even filing a bond, and annoy out of
existence nine-tenths OF the poverty
stricken country papers which have not
sufficient funds to keep even, much less
defend law suits filed by irresponsible
scrubs. The other virtually gives a
right to shoot in the back any news
paper man who has the courage to ex-
pose their villainy, and it will be a shot
in the back every time, for the trainers
and advocates of such bill have not
the sand to approach even country
editor in front.
Newspapers sometimes carry things
to the extremes, but as q general thing
they have a good foundation and ample
proof for all they print, and are amen
able to the law at present, the same as
others. They enjoy no special privi-
leges and the people should protest
against legislating any special favors
to the rascals who are afraid of the
truth.-WiIlows Journal.

months past we have been reading OF stormy sessions
in the Chamber of Deputies. OF riots on the streets
OF angry ordinations and recrimnations between the
rival parties in the country and of ntrgues and con-
spiraces in the army and among the clercas. Basng
their conclusions upon the conspicuous features of
this turmoil not few prophets have been freely pre-
dieting the speedy downfall of the republic. The
preston has been common that the French in

PREPARING A WELCOME.

stately welcome should be given the heroes of the
State their arrival at home, and no body of ct-

welcome that is being prepared for them will there
fore have in it something of fraterna cordially as

be of no little moment to the city and will no
doubt be carried out upon scale that will give it
high rank among the festal records of the city
The reception given in the Eastern cities to their
volunteers they home from Santiago was in
the nature of spontaneous outburst of popular en-
thusasm and patriotic pride The warmth of the well
come thus given was largely increased by the excite

then still fresh in the public mind Those feelings
will to considerable extent have passed away before
the California troops return The excitement of the
battle with Spain is over and we are now engaged in
the comparatively dull task of discussing how we shall
pay the debt and what we shall do with the Phil

that the Native Sons are resolved their welcome
