MIR. MOntaEu Whites Mistake,
From the Cleveland Leader

From the Cleveland Leader.
Mr.. Montagu White, the diplomatic rep
resentative of the South African republic,
has very foolishly permitted himself to be
used as tool by designing democratic
demagogues, and his continued presence in
this country is likely to do the Boer cause
more harm than good.
Mr.. White was welcomed to the United
States as the representative of the South
African republic, and there was no possible
objection to his trying to enlist the sympa-
thy of the American people. but when he
attempts to tell the people that they should
try to force their President to intervene in
South Africa he is going altogether too far.
He is abusing hospitality that has been
freely extended to him. and he should BE-
made to understand that fact.

The outcome of Rev. Mr.. Sheldon's effort
last Week to show how Christ would con-
duct daily newspaper in Kansas may be
briefly summarized as follows: 1, exchange
Of reputation for notoriety on the part of
the wouid-be editor. 2. the publication of a
series OF tracts, instead of newspaper; g.
row and probable lawsuit between the
stockholders IN the paper as to its future
policy; 4, considerable increase in cash
receipts from temporary sales. but not
nearly enough to Offset permanent damage

While much may be set down to the hurry
OF emergency work or the lack of force,
yet 1t cannot be doubted that in all too
many city hospitals free patients or cas-
ua1s are indifferently often cruelty treated
by the student-surgeons usually on duty.
Whether this be the case here is not known
But the fact is that cloud has been cast
upon this institution and it behooves the
Commissioners and the hospital authorities
to cooperate sincerely In an effort to as
certain just how far the Emergency is full
filing its important function.

"A Puzzled Statesman.
From the New York Sun.

According to The Washington Star, some
republican statesmen have told the Pres-
dent that rather than put the republican
party to the strain and embarrassment of
passing tariff bill for Porto Rico, 1T would
in their opinion, be wise to do nothing and
leave the subject entirely to the next ses-
SION of Congress-
That would be a wrong beyond denial or
apology. Leaving out the widespread and
according to our feeling the welf-found
sentiment that Porto Rico should have free
trade at once. regardless of other outlying
territory. to let the present deplorable state
o. Porto Rico continue until the furry in
the republican party Is over would not be
short of political crime.

COUNCIL AND COURT.

The Executive Council and the Coun-
Gil of State are still divided as TO the
meaning of Secretary Hays telegram
authorizing the Court of Claims to do
business. To the average lay mind
there is nothing obscure in the mes
sage, which reads as follows:
The President approves the appoint
ment of the Court of Claims to cousid-
er losses caused by the burning OF Chi
natown, and to make awards and
judgments on such losses to be paid out
of appropriations made by the Council
of State in conformity with Hawaiian
law.
There seems to be nothing cryptic
gramic about this. 1t plainly in
structs such Court Of Claims as may
be appointed, to find out what people
lost by the burning of Chinatown and
to make settlements accordingly. The
losses are to be paid in money appro-
priated by the Council of State. We
cannot see a suggestion In the mes
sage that the business Of the Court is
to merely determine Government liza
bility for fire losses. II the plea is
good that this is all that can be done
in conformity with Hawaiian law, it
ought to be easy to cite the statutes
a1d stop the row, leaving Washington
TO amend its instructions at the re-
quest Of this Government.
How would 1t do for the Council of
State. after finishing other urgent bus
mess, to adjourn until the Executive
can get new rulings on the points at
issue from Washington?

The tales OF ruin and starvation In
Porto Rico read like the reconcentra-
do romances of New York yellow
journalism. They are. in fact, writ
ten by one Of the reconcentrado ar
lists. James Creelman, the only man,
perhaps, who ever got the better of
Ananias at his own trade. AS the in
ventor of the Port Arthur massacre"
the fake interviewer of the Pope, the
King OF Greece, the Queen OF Spain
and Mrs. Mckinley; as the man who
discovered the Spanish fleet at Cadiz
just as 1t was entering Martinique, g.
900 miles away, and as the author of
the weird tale that McKinley's tariff
policy had driven starving mechanics
from Ohio to seek work in England,
Mr.. Creelman Is just the man for SEN
sational Porto Rico writing. At last
accounts he had seen three-ffths OF
the Porto Rican population pass away
and was tempted to stay over a couple
of weeks and see the rest of it expire.

growth of Honolulu. During the two
most serious plague months, January
and February, the total imports were
greater by s1,274, 611.O5 than they were
in the corresponding months OF 1899
With the cessation of the plague, and
the upward movement in business and
population which ought to follow the
enactment OF stable Government
here, there is no telling to what nights
the totals of Hawaiian sea-trade may
mount.

Mr.. Bryan must yearn for a calami-
ty that will set the farmers at odds
with the times. Wherever he goes he
finds the people contented to let well
enough alone. Appeals for the resto-
ration of silver meet no response, and
arguments against the political and
geographical growth of the country
awake but fictitious enthusiasm. The
great need Of a Democratic issue Is
shown by the fanfare over the Porto
Rico tarif-a very small matter in
deed to influence national politics. and
one that may be settled without poll
tics by Supreme Court decision. But
given a calamity like a drouth. a panic
or an Industrial smash and the pros
poets Of the Bryan Democracy would
improve like the undertaking trade in
war.

Mr.. Williams, in his letter To an
Eastern journal, speaks of the habit
which some observers fall into here,
of CHASING the Portuguese among the
dark races. He suggests, by inference.
that the mistake would not be made If
writer's did not jump at Immediate"
conclusions. 1t is perhaps well to say
for the benefit of those who take snap
shot racial views that a man
to be white does not necessarily
have red cheeks and haxen hair. II
he did. some millions of Americans,
Englishmen. Scotchmen. Irishmen,
F'renchmen, Swiss, Italians and Span
iards would have to yield precedence
to the Scandinavian races. The Por-
tuguese, though of the decided bru-
nette type of the Italians and South
ern French, are none the less white for
that. and justly resent the contrary
imputation.

bugbear in the Cullom bill. 1t Is that

How that can be when both nationali-

polls by the terms of the Cullom bill
and when neither is doing any vot-
ing to speak of in the United States,
is a more than Chinese puzzle. Per-
haps the nervous old grandam OF the
Herald can clear up the mystery by
looking at the grounds In teacup.
