HOGG WAS AN ASS.

Ex-Governor Hogg, Of Texas, who
made a visit recently to these'Islands,
was In the city of New York on the
Fourth of July, and was suddenly in
vited by the Tammany Committee on
Celebrations to make few remarks in
the Wigwam. The Committee forgot,
however, to inform him that the le adj
ers insisted that no illusions should
be made in his speech to silver, or the
nomination of Bryan as presidential
candidate. Cookers plan was to pre-
sent Judge Van Wyck as the Tammany
candidate in due time and upon a gold
platform.
As soon, however, as the irrepressi-
BILE Hogg got on his feet, he declared
| that silver and &c to l." would be
| the issue in the next campaign, and
that Bryan would be the Democratic
candidate. The rank and file OF the
Tammany party were immensely pleas
ed. as they are silver men, and cheer
ed the Hogg with much enthusiasm.
The committee did not venture to in
terrupt the big speaker, and tell him
he was making ducks and brakes OF
Cookers plans, while the vast crowd
cheered Hogg as he pulled Tammany
off from its straddle ON the financial
question, and firmly seated it in the
silver saddle, the committee sat in
silence on the platform. but after the
exercises were over, whispered to each
other that "Hogg was an ass and
that when Croker, who was In En-
gland, heard of what he had done, he
would make It hot for some one.
Some years ago an illiterate man
born in Virginia made a great fortune

death to the endowment of a manual
training school for the poor boys OF
his native county. He had one weak
ness, that of bigamy, and it had cost
him much to get rid OF several indict-
ments for that crime. At recent an
niyersary OF the foundation OF the

THE MOB WINS.

The strikers have won a victory in
Cleveland over the street railway COM

mob. The railway company was able
to fill the places abandoned by the

get employment. The mob said TO
these citizens: You shall not get en-

SENATOR MORGAN 5 OPINION.

Senator John T. Morgan recently
wrote these words:
1--WE have In these islands lthe Ha-
waiian) an imperium in imperio which
is still in the complete exercise Of its
sovereign powers of government. ex-
cept as to foreign affairs, that 1t pos
sessed while 1t was an independent
republic. This apparent anachronism
in government, which is no less than
the existence within our territorial
limits of a republic with a written con-
stitution; a complete code of laws, civil
and criminal; a financial system: a
tariff imposing duties on imports from
all countries, including the United
States; President and Cabinet, and
a complete official encourage, includ-
ing courts Of final jurisdiction; is still
a legitimate government, based on the
same principles of international law
that obtained in Louisiana, under the
act signed by Thomas Jefferson, to
Tie vi lllt
ana territory 10 the United States"
These views of the Senator exclude
the proposition that the Constitution
extends to these Islands, until Congress
has so declared. The opinions Of the
men in Washington who secured an
nexation, and now control affairs, are
alike on this subject. The Supreme
Court of these Islands, which are not,
according TO Senator Morgan, mere
territory of the United States, but a
State holding the sovereign power of
government" has unfortunately lost
the respec: of some residents here who
wish to see its judgments reversed on
the Constitutional question. But as
their judgments are cordially approved
of by the men in Washington who are
the makers Of the laws, they need not
indulge i'm much grief at the loss OF
this local respect. The indignant citi-
zens who are chilled to the bone, be-
cause they are not covered by the
blanket of the Constitution, should
now severely reb,lke Senator Morgan
for his dreadful heresies about our poll.

TnE AUTUMN FESTIVAL.

The promoters of the Autumn
Festival to be held IN Chicago during
the month OF October propose TO in
va4e Aguinaldo and his stan to become

Fsslpino hero will be conquered beiore

venerable Senator Hoar may keep their
cunsciences void Of offense by acting

val and serve as the drawing card?'
Here at once arises one of the per-
plexing questions created by democra-
cy. n the 6,5OO,0O0 of citizens who
voted the Democratic ticket wish to
confer upon Aguinaldo some honors
shall the 100000 Of citizens who
voted the Republican ticket oppose
them? II these millions of Democra-
tic voters believe that Aguinaldo rep
resents true democracy, and self-gov-
eminent, why should the millions OF
Republican voters prevent them from
exercising the inalienable rights Of
freemen? II Senator Hoar wishes to
deliver an address OF welcome to the
second Washington" as he calls this
insurrectionist, should he not have the
privilege Of presenting him to the peo-
pie in person?
On the other hand, after this worth
less and corrupt mongrel has been
conquered shall the government allow
the people to fondle him at the Fes-
tival? Is 1t for the Executive to de-
termine how much fondling of an
enemy, who has slaughtered our boys,
may be permitted under our institu-
tiOns and creeds?

PLANTATION On SPIRITUALISM.

Camille Flammarion, the most popu-
lar writer on astronomical subjects,
since the death of Proctor, has openly
renowned spiritualism. For fifteen
years, he has believed that the dead
communicated with the living, but a
recent experience has overthrow his
beliefs.
After the death of his friend NJ
Gale, who was the discoverer of Nep-
tune. Kardee wrote a book on astron-
omy containing information which
Gale communicated through Flam-
marion as spirit medium" Flam-
marion at the time did not have any
doubt whatever as to his own power as
medium, and the fact that he was a
spiritualistic central" connecting by
| some invisible wire the disembodied
with those who lived in the rickety
tenement of the earthly body. 1t was
assumed, as usual in these spiritualis-
tic affairs, that Gale was getting in
ioi 1T III III tic otiti
world where lying is not permitted.
and misstatements never occur. At
the time Gale made his communica-
ton through Flammarion as a
medium, 1t was the fact that Jupiter
had five satellites and Saturn nine.
Gale, in the other world, should have
known this. But in this world all OF
the astronomers, including Flam-
marion, believed at the time that
Jupiter had only four satellites and
Saturn eight. In his communications
through Flammarion. Gale stated that
Jupiter had only four satellites and
Saturn eight. Since the communication
was made the increase in satellites has
been discovered. This error, Flam-
marion. says, is convincing proof that
Gale made no communication what
ever through himself and that what he,
Flammarion related, as a medium, was
only his own ignorance of the correct
number of satellites
| FlammariOn has at last discovered
what nearly all cool-headed people
have quickly discovered. that medium
istic communications have decidedly
earthly flavor. II the spirits have any
valuable knowledge which would be
useful here they are mean about part
ling with 1t. Flammarion comes to the
conclusion that the communicated"
is merely the reflex action of the
mediums mind. The spirit knows no
more than the medium. and, II one
observes the communications of many
spirits through one medium, he will
notice that after death, the spirits
seem to have been melted up in one
pot, and run out into the same mould
as bullets are. The spirits OF Socrates,
Napoleon. ARENAS Ward, and Capt,
Kidd invariably talk alike through the
same medium.
| OF course the Spiritualists will say
that Flammarion has made fool of
himself, and that if he did not, as a
medium, state the correct number of
the satellites. 1t was due to his own
stupid misunderstanding OF what Gale
did say.
Prof. Hyslop's recent declaration of
his belief in Spiritualism, because he
does not understand the phenomena, is
another instance of the survival OF
Ignorance and superstition of the kind
so prevalent during the early part of
the century, when 1t was believed that
comets Were not part of the astrono-
mical system. but special supernatural
creations sent towards the earth in or
der to scare men and make them be-
have themselves.

OTR EXPORTS EXCEED ENGLAND's.
a Notable Year for the Foreign Trade
Of the Inited Stntea.

Ambassador ChOate's recent remark that
the United States and the United Kingdom
would doubtless continue a friendly rivalry
in regard 10 the worlds commerce is quite
justified by the latest figures on the com
Inerce of the Two countries supplied by
the treasury bureau of statistics.
These show that the exports of domestic
merchandise from the United States In the
eight months ending with February amount
TO SS2.'. ;i,;J. lil and those from the nited
Kingdom amount 10 SI9s, $50. .i2I. In the
calendar year 1s9s the domestic exports
from The United States amounted to f,23:i
5t;4. SIS. while those of the United Kingdom
amounted to 81. 13l 944.S!1.
The year 1898 was the first in which the
domestic exports from the United States
exceeded the domestic exports from the
United Kingdom. On only two occasions
prior 10 1SlS have the domestic exports
Of the United States exceeded billion dol
lars. while those of the United kindom have
constantly exceeded a billion dollars during
the past twenty years The latest year In
which her exports Of domestic merchandise
fell below the biiiOn-dOllar line was
1919, when they amounted TO &eS 800
In 1879 our own exports OF merchandise
amounted to S1-,i ,G-'ti.
Thus in the twenty years since 1879 the
figures show an increase of but - per cen;
in the domestic exports of the United King
dom and Of 63 per cent in those Of the
United States. apparently quite justifying
Ambassador Chuate'S assertion that the
United States would continue 20 be a rival,
though friendly one. of the United King
dCn in its relations with the commercial
world.
That the rivalry has been and is friend
ly one. even 20 the extent of cordially. is
shown by the fact that despite our rapid
increase IN the supplies which We are offer
ing To the markets of the world. Great
Britain continues to take a propOrtionate
share of that increase. Our exports of do

while. as already shown. our general ex-
ports increased t{ per cent during that pc
Rod This IS the more striking and worthy
of remark in view of the fact that our own
imports from the United Kingdom have not
increased at the rate her purchases from
us have grown Indeed. the imports into
the United States from the United Kingdom
in 1S!,S are no greater than they were TWEEN
