Several correspondents, with repu-
1ation for veracity, state that the ex-
irene suffering and distress in Cuba

we, Of Hawaii, congratulate the Gu
bans on the expulsion Of the Spaniards.
We feel deeply grateful to them for
rebelling against Spanish rule. In
making such noble sacrifices for in
dependence, or self government, they
have suffered intensely, ruined their
sugar plantations, and have lost sew
eral hundred thousand persons by star
walton, violent death, and disease. All
nf this heroic action by raising the
price of sugar, has put several millions
of dollars into the pocket of those who
are interested in sugar stocks in these
Islands.
Although thousands Of poor people
on the Mainland have contributed
largely to aid those starving people,
the heart of Hawaii has been cold
and unreachable. To have given those
Cubans any aid in their tr,bulations
and distress would probably have laid
MS open TO the charge Of stimulating
rebellion against the Spanish govern
ment with which we were at peace
We did indulge in tears at their mis-
cries, but to have acted the part Of the
good Samaritan towards them would
have made us accompIices in their re-
belIiOn. That Hawaii, with money to
burn, by reason of the Cuban revoIu-
ton, steadily refused to aid the starry
ing revoutionists, was the best evil
dence of her infeXibIe purpose to be
right before she was generous. The
people of the Mainland had no similar
delicacy Of feeling

THE POLYGAMOUS PROBLEM.

The author OF "Festus" alluded 20
England as a State "poIygamous of
all contermlnious territory" The Unit
ed States has now fallen into p3lyga-
NOUS ways regarding territory.
While petitions are now being sent
to the House Of Representative. from
many parts Of the country, protesting
against the admission Of Mr.. Roberts
Of Utah TO membership IN the House.
the question o. admitting several mil
lions Of Philippine polygamists, and
Malay heather among whom even po-
lygamy would be an enlightened in
stitution, is before Congress.
Desirable as Expansion is, how VIII
this serious question be disposed of by
Congress? The laws of the United
States positively forbid polygamy in
the territories, while the laws OF Great
Britain permit unlimited polygamy in
her terri tories. If the Philippines are
a part OF American territory, viii Con-

chat the Filipinos will not be fitted
for self government, or be fitted TO

polygamy ends, how viii it enforce
the laws?
From time immemorial the tO.era-
ton of "heathenism" in India by Great
Britain has been bitterly denounced by
our religious press. What Will i, say.

Expansion means a change of views
on our part. 1t is just and proper that
there should be a change. If We are
to have a foothold in Asia, we must
partially relinquish cur high and per-
haps speculative standards of morals.
and allow the heather some standing
in court. John Morley says that the

The ratification of the treaty of Paris
is due to the vote of Democratic Mug

partisans VINO denomce independence

Samuel Plimsoll, who died the other

By a horizontal line the statutory
deck line is marked, below which is a

the depth Of water the ship is permitted
to load to in different seasons.
The fresh-water mark permits ships
to load to that depth or its proportion
at certain seasons, as the ship rises In
the more buoyant salt water.
In accordance with the regulations
made by the British Board of Trade
the disks and lines must be permanent
" marked by punch marks or cutting
and painted white, thus preventing any
change Of the mark. The Moyds
agency prescribes that where a vessel
is loaded to a greater draft of water
than allowed by the mark, or If the
maximum load draft be placed higher
than the position assigned by Lloyds,
the vessel forfeits her character in the
register. The disks and Plimscll mark
must appear on both sides Of steam and
sail vessels.
