FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.

The Star has repeatedly the attention
of the public to the financial condition
of this Territory. The loss of 81, 200, 900
a year income from the customs and the
Post office means a large deficit and
this must be met in some way, or the
most important public works will have
to come to a standstill. 1t does not
seem as If some people realized that the
income of the Territory had been Sc
riously ripped and that there must be
found means to increase it. Certainly
as was pointed out in a financial arti-
Gle in these columns a short time ago,
the Territory cannot go on spending
more than it's income monthly, without
bringing up against a stone wall of
impecuniosity.
What the territory is now running on
is the surplus so carefully accumulated
by S. NJ. Damon when he was minister
of finance under the Republic. He fore
saw that when the actual change came
there would be a period when our in
come would be considerably less than
our necessary expenditures and he pre-
has been justified by the event
But during the time that he was so
carefully increasing the current balance
he received more abuse than enough.
What was he locking up so much money
for? He was assisting in creating a
panic. There We're actually those who
hailed the plague with covert satisfac-
ton because it put large portion of
Damons balance into circulation. Any
sensible person could now say that he
wishes there We're more of Damon's
balance in the Treasury.
We have of course, paid the interest
of the loan, long after that loan should
have been assumed by the United States
This interest will undoubtedly be return
ed to us and will help to bring up the
Treasury balance, but even with that
assistance we have to face the future
and consider how we are to raise the
81, 100000 income which we have lost.
This will be the earliest and most i'm
portant work of the coming session and
the men who solve the problem will de-
serve we'll of their fellow citizens.

numbers do not materially effect the
enormous population of China. If the
Manchu princes could be made to suffer
in person and in property there would
be far more effect upon the govern
ment. Neither the Empress Dowager,
nor Prince Tuan, nor any of the palace
officials care one straw how many Chi
nese are killed. Their subjects are no.
thing to them but a means for obtain
the outer harbarians.
If Cato preached "Delenda est Garth
ago" Carthage must be destroyed,
though a nearer translation is Cathage
must be wiped out, and that was what
the old Roman gentleman meant, every
missionary who returns to the main
land, and spreads his ideas before
countless congregations and assem-
blies, should earnestly preach "Delenda
est Peking," Picking must be wiped
out. They know, what so few people
seem to realize that the Christian coun-
tries of the earth have not only to pro-
tect their missionaries, but that these
countries are morally and in honor
bound to protect or avenge the native
Chinese Christian converts who have
been assured by many treaties with
many nations that they would be allow
ed the free exercise of their chosen re-
ligion. In our anxiety for our own
people and obtaining compensation for
them we are apt to forget that there
are others to whom we owe deep duty.

LITTLE LIGHT.

The missionaries who pass through on
the various steamers from China, en-
route for the mainland all have the
same stories to tell of hair breadth es-
capes from bowling and blood thirsty
fanatics, attacks upon parties moving
to the coast cities and tales of robbery
and the destruction of property. There
are also accounts of Chinese who stood
by their friends and rendered them as
sistance, just as during the Indian
mutiny there were natives who helped
escaping English and finally, at great
risk brought them to safety
In condemning the Chinese we should
condemn the ruling classes rather than
the people, The present outbreak Of
fanaticism has been fostered by the
Imperial authorities. The fact that the
Boxers are armed in many cases with
modern rifles, shows that the Imperial
authorities assisted them, for the Box
ers We're in no condition to import and
store arms, when the society was in
embryo.
That countless Chinese will be slaugh-
tered, before the present struggle is
over, is almost aicertainty. Great num-
bers have already been slain, but such

The Olaa squatters are bringing
their claims to an issue. Though some
of these men may be bona fide squatters
ly land spectators. They have been in
possession of government land, and
have sold out, only to try and get an
other piece, which will be sold out in
it's turn. The agricultural department
at Washington has been making en-
quiries about the squatters and does
not look with favor upon a number Of
them, because it is satisfied that they
do not desire to become bona fide set
tiers, but are looking for profit upon
the rise in land values.

There seems a likelihood of the wire
less telegraphy system being in action
in the near future. The erection of the
poles, has taken a considerable time,
and there have been set backs through
unfavorable weather. The pole at Ma
hukona, for instance, was injured by
a storm and had to be repaired When
once the system is in working order it
will excite a great deal of interest
throughout the world, for it is the first
time that it has been installed for prac-
teal commercial use. 1t will prove a
grand advertisement for the Territory
should 1t be successful. ~. ,.y .-.

TEE pAR1rAMENTABK ELECTIONS.
Not Much Change Indicated In Conn
plexion of New House.

London, Oct d. q. m.-The results
of yesterdays polling in the parliamen-
tary general election were less striking
than those of Tuesday. The conserya-
tive majorities still show increases in
numerous contests, but In a less mark
ed degree. On the other hand, the lib
erals have gained additional seats On
on the whole, the indication this morn
ing is that there will not be much
change in the complexion Of the new
house. AS matters stand now, out of
the 287 candidates returned the relative
strength of parties Is as follows:
Mirlsteriallsts, PIP; liberals, including
labor members, Il; natlonalists, %.
Altogether the liberals have gained
ten seats and the conservatives seven.
Only one conservative seat was gained
yesterday but it was very important
victory. In the Brightside division or
an industrial constituency held
for ten years by the late Anthony j.
Mundella who was succeeded by Fred
erick Madison in 1897, the Madison
of 1888 was converted by j. IT.
Hope, mi1listerialist, into conservative
majority OF 954.
AZ Derby the liberals had striking
success, recovering there the two seats
wrested in the general election OF 1895
from Sir William Vernon Harcourt and
Sir Thomas Roe by Sir Henry Howe
Bemroso and Godfrey Dage.

POPULATION or ARKANSAS.
Census Bureau Pisces 1t at i,3lI, ,563-A
Falling or I'm Increase.

Washington Oct. 3.-The census bu-
reau to-day published the returns for
the state of Arkansas, giving the popu-
lation by counties, townships and all
incorporated towns. The population OF
the state in 1900 is 1,3l1,564, as against
1,128,179 IN 1890, representing an increase
since 1890 of 1888, ,385, or 1925 per cent.
This rate Of increase Is only about two
flfths of that of the decade from 1880 to
1890, when it was 4058 per cent, and
less than one-fourth Of that for the de-
cade from 1870 to 1880, when it was 66.65
per cent. From 1860 to 1870 there was
an increase of only 11.26 per cent, but
prior to 1860 the population more than
doubled itself during each decade, and
FOR the decade from 1880 to 1910 showed
an Increase of 221.09 per cent.

Persons Under Suspicion.
Rome, Oct. 5,-Tl1e italian police have
now begun investigating into the burg
larry at the Vatican, where thieves the
other day forced a safe and carried off
securities wcrth $4,000 lire (about $7o,-
0o0) and 1900 lire IN silver. The Vati-
can officials have not lodged formal
complaint contenting themselves with
merely announcing the theft. -Four peY-
sons are under suspicion, and one was
arrested this afternoon. The Trlbuna
says that the italian police warned the
Vatican people in July Of last year that
a plan was on foot to commit some
such robbery. 1t Is believed that the
stolen property does not belong, as was
originally asserted, to the management
of the apostolic palace, but is part OF
the private funds of the pope.
