Australia Wants a Naval Reserve.

AS n result of the Spanish Ameri-
can war, Australia proposed to supply
herself with quite a formidable naval
reserve There has recently been a con-
ference of naval officers in Melbourne
for the purpose of discussing the most
suitable basis of a colonial naval re-
serve, at which a communication was
read from Lord BraSsey, governor Of
Victoria, in which he stated his opinion
that, taking into consideration the char-
acter Of the Australian population, it
would be difficult if not impossible to
secure a sufficiently large force consist
ing of ~seafaring men only. He thaie-
fore suggested that the system of the
American naval authorities during the
wal should be adopted. This was the
navigation by their own crews of lner-
camille vessels Used as cruisers, leaving
the guns to be manned by marines OF
the navy. This, according to Lord Bras
Sey, vas a return to the conditions that
obtained in the English fleets of the old
en- time which met and vanquished the
Spanish armada. He recommended That
a given proportion of the proposed ma
val reserve should consist Of md"ipss,
drilled and exercised in naval gunnery.
The matter was finally left to the deter
rain ton of the Australian parlia neat.

CIVIL GOVERNMENT IN CUBA.
New York Times


1t is particularly difficult to get at the
real opinion of Cuba from the u%tterances
of the Cuban press. The p%eaceable and
industrious part of the Cuban population
has in view the real prosperity of the
island. And those who make up this
class are the best judges of the measures
which that prosperity requires. Our
officers in Cuba have made q point of
finding out what such Cubans desire and
of giving to their desires the most careful
consideration. When General Ludlow
said the other day that the day for Civ
ing Cuba complete control of her own
affairs was still affair off, we have no
doubt that he expressed the opinion of
such Cubans. But we have evidence
that he did not express the opinion of
those classes of Cubans whose organs the
Cuban newspapers are. On the con
trary, almost with one accord, the news
papers denounced his ntterance. The
fact seems to be that there are more
politics to the square mile in Cuba than
even in Ohio, and more persons ''per
capita" who expect to make a living by
politics without personal eXertion.

Democratic Troubles.

The members of the executive COM
mittee of the national Democratic COM
mittee, who met in Chicago to compare
impressions made upon them by the
late elections and map out a general
plan for next years campaign, all spoke
of Colonel Bryan as certain to be the
nominee of the Democracy next year for
president. That Colonel Bryan would
be the chosen candidate of the Democ-
racy, to lead to victory or defeat, all
seemed agreed. But upon what issues
should the campaign be made? The sill
ver issue would hardly do should prices
go on rising. If a sudden collapse
should come such issue might be resur-
rected to do duty in the 1900 campaign.
But now, with prices rising, the people
show no great interest in the question.
So the trusts, opposition to trusts, was
turned to as a likely issue, for much Of
the rise in prices, rightly or wrongly,
a be laid at the doors of the combina-
tions. But how much head can the
Democratic party make with this issue
by talking of an evil for which it offers
no remedy? AND NO remedy it has. 1t
offers no real remedy. and the people
must find it out. And when they do,
how many votes is the Democratic par
ty going to gain on the trust issue?
Then, of course. there is the Philip
pine anti-expansion issue, but of that
issue the Democratic leaders are timid.
They cannot make up their minds
whether bold espousal of the anti-ex-
pansion side will win them votes or lose.
And so they are uncertain. The want
of the Democratic party is an issue. Its
leaders are hunting for such, and can
suggest nothing better than to raise the
cry of down with the trusts, a cry that
is hypocrisy when those who utter it do
nothing and mean to do nothing to
down the trusts.

TRADE WITH CHINA.
New York JOurnal,)

Those who are opposed to expansion
would do well to look over the annual
report of the inspector-general of Gus
toms of China covering the year 1898.
This report shows an increase of almost
40 Fer cent in American imports into
China, while the increase in total i'm
ports into that country is less than five
per cent. The greater part of this in
crease took place after Dewey's victory
at Manila, and while we were still at
wal with Spain. Since this report was
made our trade with China has increased
to an extraordinary degree under the
stimulus of the presence of our flag in
the Philippines. = y \ Therefore do
not howl against expansion. In its train
it is sure to bring increased commerce,
an increased merchant marine and a
general increase Of prosperity.

THE GOLD DEMOCRACY.
Washington Times.)

Former Senator John M. Palmer, who
headed the so-called gold Democratic
presidential ticket in 1896, and thus in
Il measure contributed to Mr.. Bryan's
defeat, was a caller at the White house
yesterday. The president received him
cordially, and chatted with him for
some time. General Palmer expressed
the opinion that there would be no indie
pendent Democratic ticket nominated
next year. ''Mr. Bryan" he added,
will probably be nominated. and the
gold Democrats simply will not support
aim. In time | think that the Demo
cratic party will come around all right

BOERS AND BRITISH.

From the Minneapolis Tribune.)
Whatever virtues they may possess,
the Beers are narrow and u%nprogress-
i've. Their social customs are medieval
and their system of government more
patriarchal than representative. If
there was good excuse for the Beers
taking their territory away from the
native owners because the latter per-
sisted in remaining savages. there is
equally good excuse for Great Britain
superseding the governments of the Beers
by Il more liberal government, and re-
placing i%nertness and %stagna.ion by
modern progress.

MILITIA.
philadelphia Record.

There ought to be a well equipped.
finely drilled and generously supported
national guard in every state. In times
of peace the guards are not q drain upon
the public treasury, and IN time of war
they may be readily made available for
defence or offence. Moreover, when the
militiamen's term of national service is
ended they are quickly absorbed by the
industrial body of the community. Their
value to the states during labor riots is
incalculable.

say of cotton to-day: Liverpool acted to-
day as though that market did not like
the continued light movement of the crop
and the proportion of the exports which
were going to the continent. Our market
opened steady and slowly advanced, the
feature being the covering of a large line
of March delivery sold around T. cents ON
the break last week 1t is estimated that
40, 600 bales had been bought for that ac-
count between Tile and 7.14c. After this
covering the January position became firm
on buying for Liverpool account The
trade did not think there was the same
outside demand as appeared on the last
advance, but the market was firm the en-
tire day. In fact, the outside longs show
ed much more disposition to take profits
than for some time past. The movement
of the crop continues on a very moderate
scale"

THE REFINER QUESTION.
Editor Smith of Florida Says the
SupnIN of syrup Would BE Ample.


Editor Morning News; have for sew
eraI months read with much interest the
different articles in your excellent publica-
ton, relative to the establishment of a
sugar refinery in Savannah. and 1 have
hoped that the project would be carried
out.
But in your issue of Oct "A l see it stat
ed that the uncertainty of supply is the
principal obstacle in the way of the esta b.
lishment of the refinery. ! am of opinion
that those who have reached such a con-
cluSion have not made proper inVestiga-
ton, and I firmly believe that were a good
market assured, the supply would be
ample to keep the refinery going twelve
months in the year. | base this opinion
on a knowledge of the conditions In nearly
all Florida and IN many counties in South
and Southeast Georgia.
1t is a well-known fact that sugar cane
is almost a sure crop in the territory nam
ed 1t may be true that at present the
syrup output is little more than sufficient
to supply the local demand But. were the
demand increased. the supply would also
increase for sugar cane is a sure crop,
and easily grown.
Editor Martin says his county liberty
would supply 100000 barrels annually, and
sure that taking in that section of Florida
easily accessible to Savannah. and in
which sugar cane can be successfully
grown. and including the other counties
i'm Georgia, we can find at
least forty counties that will
each produce as much syrup annually, as
will Liberty county. This would bring
100000 barrels annually, or enough to
supply a 2.000-barre plant 1900 days-hence
you see where the supply could go 10, bas-
ed on Editor Martins figures. But say
that Liberty county would only produce
so 600 barrels annually-oue-fourth the es
innate | am sure we can get at ieast
twenty other counties that would produce
for market as much as Liberty. This
would make 100000 barrels annually. or
enough to supply a 20C0-barrel plant 800
days.
Another estimate: Suppose Liberty coun-
IL only produce $1,000 barrels anaually,
one-eighth Of Martins estimate We can
certainly count twenty counties that will
furnish a like amount. This will make
zoe $50 barrels or enough to keep ftO)-
barrel plant going SEQ days.
No. Mr. Editor; put UP me refinery.
There Will be no lack of raw materia our
farmers are anxious TO grow The cane and
make the syrup. Assure them of The mar

try was supporting factor: the demand
for raw cotton reached an almost unpre-
cedented volume at all points, and the
crop movement fell short of official esti-
mates The array of bullish influences dis
heartened the majority of the bear traders
and led to a run to cover. At the same
time the investors were prompted to take

against short safes in spot cotton futures,
