PLAGUE SPREADING.
Hawaiian Sugar May BE Refused at

San Francisco, Jan. 8.-Seven addi-
tional cases of plague have developed
at Honolulu since last advices, making
10 cases all told to date. The three
cases were discovered on the night OF
the 2Sth ultimo and four cases have
since been reported.
The board of health has decided to
take radical steps to stamp out the
scourge. A portion of the infected dis
trict was condemned and burned to the
ground. Three building and a large
warehouse were destroyed. The flu
ture policy of the health authorities
will be to destroy all infected build
ings.
The presence of the plague is worry

waiian sugar may be refused at United
States ports If shipped from Honolulu.
To get around this the new crop may
be shipped from other ports

Force Him To Show His Hand.
Cumberland CNId) Aneganian.
The time was. in the history OF
this country, when the constitution
was held inviolably sacred by the
people of the land generally, and
notably SO by the Chief Magistrate
who had sworn TO maintain it as
the law supreme. In those days it
was only necessary to show that
this or that proposed measure was
contrary to the sacred instrument,
to put an end to any further debate
upon the subject.
1t is scarcely necessary to say
that at no period of American his
tory was pride of citizenship so
high as during that golden era,
prior to 1860, before the basic law
of the country had been over-rid-
den by the fierce forces of fiery
fanaticism. Since then we have
had the facts III the case before us,
illustrated by the slight leak in the
dyke around Holland, widening,
widening, until now the charter of
our liberties is SO despised by those
in authority as to create a. general
contempt for those principles of
organic law, which were enshrined
in the hearts of the fathers of the
Republic.
This love of the Constitution was
singularly strong when the Monroe
Doctrine was carefully formulated,
by which our relations with foreign
powers was plainly laid down. The
plain object of the statesmen of that
day, in full knowledge of the mon
archical hatred to the young repub-
lilo, was to check and control the
growth of European power on this
continent, and thus safeguard our
own national life.
, 1t follows clearly that, if the
United States are to be protected
by keeping European powers out
of touch with and far removed
from us in America, we are equally
bound to keep this country away
from European and Oriental settle
ments. In other words, if the
safety of our families is endangered
by allowing a key of powder to
be placed near our hearthstone, are
we not grievously wrong to build
our homes nearby factory of
powder, dynamite or lyddite2
Early in January, when Senator
Hoar calls up his Anti Expansion
Resolutions, we shall see what po-
sition the Administration will take
in regard to the Philippines. I'm
der the provisions of the Constitu-
ton, Section 4, Article 4, the fra
mers of that wonderful citadel of
liberty SO bedrocked the young
government upon the great doc
trine of the consent of the governed,
that the United States guarantees
every state Republican form of
government.
Just now, it looks very much as
if Mckinley contemplates holding
the Islands, Cuba, Puerto Rico and
the Philippines as vassal colonies,
in the very face and in flat viola
ton of the constitution. He may
try to stave off any honest declara-
ton of plans and purposes till aft
or the campaign of 1900 is over.
We quite overestimete Mr.. Hoar
in thinking that, backed in the
Senate by such men as Mason and
Wellington, of his own party, and
the Democratic Senators, and such
distinguished Republicans as Elk.
Speaker Reed, Edmonds. Sherman,
Schurz and others, he will not have
the power to make Mckinley and
Hanna show their hand. Don't
let them dodge.

The Trust in ACTION.

If bran new species of horse
were introduced his qualities, ma
ture and characteristics would form
an interesting study among horse
owners. The same may be said of
other animals. And if strange
wild beast should suddenly appear
the study of his habits would be a
profitable one.
The trust is comparatively new
conner. Taking a name which in
the ordinary acoeptation of the
term means good rather than evil,
it has settled down among us.
What are it's characteristics and
what public bearing it is likely to
have?
In the first place, it may as we'll
be understood that it is fixture.
These huge combinations which
have sprung up since the present
national administrion came into
power do not mean fun, or short
period of diversion, but have evil
IDENTITY come to stay. These aggre-
cations of morey are already up
into the billions, and they mean
business. These vast amounts of
money are simply seeking profit
able Investments, Is this move
ment likely to result in good or
evil? This is ACQUISITION which
naturally suggests itself.
The pretext is put forward that
the Trust is u benefit to the great
body of people Business enter
prises can be carried out, it is said,
by great combinations of capital
which would be possible through
small investments or individual
effort. This is SO true that it hard
ly needs substantiation. Witness
railways, steamships, canals, manu-
featuring enterprises. This all
seems plausible enough. There is
no successful denying the fact that
great enterprises call for great COM
binations of capital.
When then is not the modern
Trust good thing? Let us see
what some of it's characteristics are,
as shown by developments thus far.
In the first place the modern Trust
aims to throttle and destroy com
petition. One of the very first
steps taken is to strike down COM
petition. Competition, according
to old notions was the life of hon
est trade. Men are very apt to
grow greedy as they grow rich, and
when the dealer grew too greedy
come in and checked
him. If one dealer put too big
price upon his goods he would lose
his business and his less grasping
neighbor would be the gamer.
This thought needs no more en-
larging upon. You can find illus
trations of it in every department
of trade and commerce.
But the Trust strikes down COM
petition at the outset as the one
thing which stands in the way of
carrying out of it's plans tn capture
the business completely Is this
a good thing for the public? Isl
it benefit to allow one man or one
corporation to monopolize bust
ness? If so, then the Trust is q
good thing, If any mortal man or
combination of men is 80 nearly al
lied to the angels as to be safely
trusted to fix prices, qualities &C.,
then the principle of
the trust may be right.
