THE PACl &c CABLE.

The long mOoted scheme Of laying a tele-
graphic cable from California to Hawaii has
now been brought forward in a particularly
practical form. The Senate Committee on APP
preparations has added 10 the Sundry Civil bill
Oh amendment providing for The immediate
laying of such a cable by the Government, at
It's own expense and u'icr It's OWN control. the
cost not to exceed s. 10000 and the work 20
bc done by the Navy Department or under It's
direction. There have been several PROPOSE
tons to lay the cable by private enterprise
with the aid OF Government subsidy. This
act of Congress. II Il become an act. will put
them all out Of court ana give the Government
4 monopoly Of the " DE business. Whether
this 1'ill he the best possible outcome Of the
matter may he subject Of debate. 1t rests with
the advocates of private enterprise to demon
strate that one of the iIrercstcd companies can
do the york TO better advantage than the Gov
ernment-that Is 10 say. cal do it more prompt
" and more chcaply. and assure to the Govern
ment a better service. Ii such demOnStra-
ton is not Immediately forthcoming it is to be
hoped the amendment will he adopted and
acted upon without a days unnecessary delay.
The private proposals have been that the
Government should pay a subsidy Of 100000
a year for twenty wears and have free use
of the cable for rs OWL busneSs-a total cost
of S2000O00, against n possible 50 100000 I'M
der the Senate proposal. Cnder private owner
ship the Government would have free use OF
the cable without ost OF operating it, while
under National owncrsny It will have to as
sumo that cost. r. rs Ear the balance would
be IN favor Of letting a private company do the
work. But that is not ali. The bulk of the
cables work will unQu- stonahly he Of com
mcrcial character, and that Will be profitable
as the experience Of ether cable lines shows
It is. indeed quite safe 10 assume that the
profits Of business VIII more than pay the cost
OF operation and the possible 100000 excess
of original investment In that case II will be
TO the advantage of the Government to do the
work itself. A private company would not
touch the job without expectation and reason
able assurance Of Pre- it. And If such COM
pany can make such profit the Government can
do so and may az We. i so.
There may be SOM raising Of the conten-
ton that It IS not the province Of the Gov
eminent TO lay and peratc cables. and that
10 do SO will he 10 become Socialistc. Such
talk is futile. If il be proper for a Government
TO carry messages by mail. II Is equally proper
for II 10 transmit them by telegraph. We fancy
a man may believe "a national postal sys-

There is moreover. an especial tness in Gov
crnment ownership Of c1bles in that they
traverse the high seas which ere not national
property. but interna. Jral COZ mons. and also
in that they are Liable - seizure or dcstruc-
ton in case Of war.
But the strongest consideration in thu case
is whether this or thst plan will insure the
more prompt construction Of the line. The an

NO TERMS TO FILIPINOS.

"No terms" sounds harsh So does Thou
shalt not" So do all laws and all MANIFESTO
lions of authority TO lawbreakers. There is
nothing more harsh than justice TO the I'M
inst. nor than reason to the unreasonable But
law is not designed TO please the taste ana
fancy of the awlcss. but TO protect the rights
and execute the will Of the law-abding. Ana
the attitude Of the law and of its agents toward
the lawbreaker cannot be one OF compromise

The Government ut Washington was exactly
right in declining TO receive or TO negotiate
with the socalled 'envOys' of the Tagal riot

legal recognition to lawlessness. In Ike man

nR. ALDRLDGE ANp TIE cANALS.

In his report upon the operations OF the De-
rartment of Public Works for the year 1898
ex Superintendent Aldridge. referring TO the
charges brought against him, says: During
"thc tendency Of these charges | simply ask
that fair-minded men suspend judgment.
This IS a natural and proper request, and rea-
sonahle citizens should be willing 10 grant 1t

onirv as TO the length of the period during
which Judgment should be suspended. 1t is
thrpo months since Governor Black directed the
Attoruev-G General 10 present the matter TO the
Grand jury, and no visible progress has yet
been made. 1t was probably not practicable
10 begin proceedings before the expiration ~
Governor Blacks term. and the change of ad-
m,nistraton perhaps necessarily prolonged the

some difficulty in securing special counsel to
take charge Of the case and we do not know
that tine has been wasted since his final Sc

QUARTERS FOR PIGS.
They Should BE I'm the Barn Bases
ment and Never Where other
Stock Is Kept.

Whenever a barn has a ba=n base
ment, as all should have, in tina, should
be fixed the winter quarters for the
hogs. AS there is a strong, oISagree-
able smell from the p=gpen, the base
ment should not be where other stock
is kept, md of course not near tho
house. Not only horses and sheep.
which are dainty in their feeding. but
even the cow. which is less affected by
foul odors, will refuse to eat food that
has been where the stencil from the
! hogpen could get at It. Yet we haze
known farmers to allow hogs 70 run in
| the same stable with cattle ana horses,
and then wonder why the latter sd
often get ''off their feed" and lose flesh.
The hog alone will thrive unuer such
circumstances, though even the hog In
its effort TO keep warm will crowd close
around the larger animals tc gather
heat from their bodies In thisway the
hog is apt to be stepped upon or kicked.
so that the practice is not best even for
him. The pigs winter quarters should
| be made warm. and also light, having
wall on the south side with large double
windows n it through which the win
ter sunlight may stream If all the
other sides are walled tight, and q
bunch of chopped straw is put in one
corner, the pigs Will make their nest
in that and sleep at night. but In sunny
days they will huddle together where
the sunlight can fall upon them. This
matter of sunlight has much to do with
the healthfulness of bieseding sows and
the successful rearing of their iitters
especially those narrowed IN early
spring.-American Cultivator.

wool to pay for keeping her. A eve

nearer one and one-half. From the

foods at market prices. mutton can be
