OUR PACIFIC OPPORTUNITIES.

Mr.. John Barrett, who so ably repre-
sented the United States in Siam, has
by his several papers on the Orient i'm
pressed the reading public with his
fairness. fine powers of observation, and
his intimate acquaintance with the af-
fairs of the Far East. Whenever he
writes upon these subjects what he
has to say gains respectful attention.
Few Americans-if indeed there are
any-have travelled more extendedly
than Mr. Barrett in Oriental countries,
and these especially related to China
waters. He appears to have made a
special study of the political and COM
mercia1 conditions in these lands and
to have marshaled the information
gained in his studies and travels in a
way to enable him to treat of our COM
mercial interests on the Pacific in
manner at once attractive and fore.
ible.
In the current issue Of the North
American Review" appears Mr.. Bar
rett's latest paper in which he treats
of the Paramount Power of the Pa
cific." In this paper he tells Amer.
lean manufacturers that if they i'm
prove their present opportunities wisely
and speedily they will have the largest
share of the reward and the advantage
to follow the expansion of commerce
throughout all Oriental lands touching
even but lightly waters of the Pacific.
Referring to our possibilities in relation
to the Asiatic trade Mr.. Barrett says:
american exports to the Far East to-
day approximate $40, 100000, if the act
ual value of everything which leaves
our shores is counted; but, basing our
estimates on reasonable grounds. there
is no reason why they should not ex-
pand in the near future to S15OO0O, 900,
and our total exchange reach 100000
600. Few people appreciate the enor,
nous business that is now done up and
down the Pacific Asiatic coast. 1t
amounts to ST, 600 100000, gold, per an
mum, and represents 5000OO,0 900 people.
OF this, the imports are over half. Ger,
tainly it is logical to hold that the
United States should be able to supply
at least a third of the products now
imported from foreign lands. China's
trade amounts to 100000 with a
population of $50, 100000 people. If her
wants ever expand in any such degree
as those of Japan and other countries
which have awakened from their
Asiatic lethargy, her foreign trade
should reach on a conservative eSti.
mate, $500, 100000. Were the same ratio
of population to trade. or one to two
which exists in all other countries of
Asia, progressive and retrogressive, ap,
piled to China, her future foreign ex-
change could be estimated at 500, 600.
600. I do not mean that it can or will
attain these figures within this gener
alton, but it is a logical possibility,
provided always that the government is
reformed and the door of trade is not
closed"

Gen. Gallifet and William I.

The Germans ever had the highest
admiration and respect for Galliffet,
and when the cavalry hero attended

right hand at table, and felt inclined to

vestigation of the east side source with
out the exhaustive examination IT
should have, and accept the ideas and
theories Of those who, can discover
neither organic nor inorganic matter
in the river water; and those who talk
glibly of geological formation rendering
subterranean water courses or depos-
it's. impossible, and the belief that they
may exist and do exist as nonsense.
then this whole water search business
might just as we'll stop here and now.
AS one Of the committeeman well
said, if the jury is packed in advance
and a test refused of the east side
source, the people will never submit to
it. for the people believe in fair play,
and an even and impartial investiga-
ton, no more and no less for one than
for another. We repeat, If 1T is intend
ed to refuse the east side full. FAIR,
cumulative and qualitative test let II
be known now that the people may
take their trick at the wheel.
Unhappi1y for Sacramento no one
now hasa money interest in advocating
the east side supply source. There is
no company, corporation or syndicate
behind it. Once upon time pow
erful company did propose to develop
that source and was willing to invest
large capital upon the proposition. Then
the cry went up that the supply was
promoted and bolstered by a syndicate,
corporation, and that it was a ROB-
bling scheme; that even the newspapers
had been bought and sold in that in
terest.
Now, there is no one backing the east
side system who has money In 1t; II
rests upon it's merits and upon the faltn
of those who have used the water from
it for two score of years and more.
There is no company with water to sell
from that source, no interest OF any
kind for gain pushing it's claims before
the committee. Positions have shift
ed; the friends of the east side remain
it's friends, and they have the satisfac-
ton of consistency, since no one mas
the temerity now to say that they are
bought and sold.
We charge no one with dishonesty IN
this matter. We have credited the
committee and every man in it with
honesty of purpose. We have demand
ed only that all propositions be treated
alike, that each should have a fair
show and a free field. If this is not
allowed, if prejudgment, dogmauc
statement. and Emendacious insinuatlon,
are to prevail, the people will be fully
justified in ilnputing other than pure
motives to those who, so sure OF the
-soundness of their positions, refuse to
submit them to the test of demonstra-

PROTECTION AND TRUSTS.
San Jose Mercury: The Democratic
free trade journals. which have been
standing aghast at the prosperity
which the Republican policy of protec-
ton has created throughout the coun-
try, eagerly welcome the trusts as an
agency through which they can find
some kind of an argument against the
principle of protection. All their old
stock of arguments have gone by the
board, annihilated by plain, everyday
facts, so in their desperation they have
seized upon the trusts as an awful
evidence ef.what protection is doing for
the country. Their argument, if sim
cerelys put, would be something like
this: Protection brings prosperity;
prosperity breeds trusts; ergo. protec-
ton should be abolished and the dear
old Democratic policy of free, trade.

be again installed But, while the

PORTO RlcAN SCHOOLS.
Victor s. Clark, Sub-Director of Education, Reports That They Are in Very
 Crude Condition.


 Washington, April 23.-In a report to the secretary of war, Dr. Victor $. Clark, sub-director of public instruction in Porto Rico says that only $50 month can be offered to American teachers, with transportation to the is- land from New York. The English speaking supervisors are men, and through them it is hoped to weed out abuses and develop some system of con- trol. As understood in this country there is no system of higher education in Porto Rico. No school on the is- land affords adequate preparation for American college work. There is no co-education of the sexes. No school houses exist on the island, the schools usually being held at the residences of the teachers. Only part of the pupils have textbooks About 525 schools are reported in the island and little over $300,000 is annually paid for their support. A great desire is manifested to learn English. New textbooks are being published in this country to replace the Spanish books now in use. A pedagogical museum and American library have been estab- lished in San Juan.

Washington Dispatch Says the Twentieth Kansas Boys VIII Embark at Manila
 for San Francisco October 27.

Topeka, Kan, April 23.-The dis patches from Washington say that the Twentieth Kansas volunteers will em- bark at Manila for San Francisco October 27. From this it would appear that the volunteers would be mustered put about Christmas. It will require about 40 days to make the voyage from Manila to San Francisco. That would put them at the Golden Gate about De- eember 6. They will probably be held in quarantine for two or three days before being permitted to land. If they start at once for Kansas they will arrive in Fort Leavenworth about December 12. There the work of mastering out will require some time, as the most complete and exacting returns must be made by each company to the war de- partment and approved there. It snot probable that this will be done before Christmas, but the men will probably be given furloughs so that they can spend the holidays at their homes.
