we'll known through the ConsUsar re-
week or so ago in these columns. that
ths trade i'm North China is parSlyzed

with However Minister ConEer be-
licveS i'm great future possibilities. and
that -reat rewards await those who
spring an at the right moment. 1t needs
however government az well as private
enterprise
There acre two things which Minister
Conger considers indispensable for flu
ture progress. The one is the develop
ment of the American merchant marine
so as to meet the competition of other
nations. This is certainly in process
of development. and we may look to
American vessels practically control
i4ng the North Pacific trade in a few
wears. The other indispensable work
is the laying of a trans-Pacific Gable.
For this there must be Government
to favor a line entirely owned by the
United States Government, but so long
as the 49, is an American lire. con-
trolled by American officials 1t mat
ters very little whether it is owned
out and out by the American Govern
ment or not. What we in Hawaii want
is a teleoranh cable, and there cannot
be an American trans-Pacific cable
which will not unite us to the main
land and the world. The cable is the
last link which will bind us competely
to the vast human hive of modern
trade, policy and social institutions.
Another thing Minister Conger touch
ed up must also interest us. He show
ed how the European and Japanese
houses familiarized themselves with
the language of those with whom they
We're trading, and advis, d American
merchants to do likewise. On these
Islands we have a growing population
of Chinese Americans who would just
supply such positions. There are many
young men here, some of full Chinese
blood, some part-Chinese and part
Hawaiian, Tho are well educated both
in Chinese and English, and talk each
language fluently, moreover some have
been trained in the methods of bust
ness of both nationalities, while others
are in process of training. Any Ameri-
can business house which wants to OBJ
tain shrewd Young business men for
the China trade, should look over the
field in Honolulu. There is lots of ma
terial which could be used to immense
advantage. The Hawaiian Islands cast
their (educationaD bread upon the wa
ters, and it may be that it will return
from an unexpected quarter.
Mr.. Conger's remarks have cen, of
course, widely circulated and much
commented upon. The trade of the far
East is the Ell Dorado of the modern
merchant, and all eyes are turned upon
it. With our known shrewdness lush
and ability, it is not likely that we
shall not come in for our full share
and a little over. But we have some
formidable competitors to run the race
for mercantile wealth with us.

That one of these days the Territory
will be bowling for military when no
militar'' Is at hand, is pretty certain
Every part of the Union has it's local
military organization, and very useful
it proves to be in periods of threatened
riot and some times of nestilence.
Moreover, it is from the local military
organizations that the United States
draws that splendid volunteer force,
which, at the time of the Spanish war,
when soldiers sprang up like the fight
ing men from the Dragons teeth that
Jason sowed fairly astonished the
world. We would cut a very poor
figure should any sudden attack ca~'
upon the United States, if we had no
organization from which to instantly
offer our mite of assistance. That the
military may have been too costly in
the past, may or may not be true. but
that is no argument why 1t should be
done away with altogether A distant
OUTPOST of the United States, such as
the Hawaiian Islands should have a
local military organization.

CoNGER ON CHINA TRADE.

There is nothing of greater interest
to the West Coast of the Mainland, and
as it's affiliations must be with the
West Coast, to Hawaii, than the trade
with the far East. Until either the
Nicaragua or the Panama Canal is
completed the only speedy outlet for
the manufactures of the United States
is through the Pacific ports. BY the
time either of these canals is complet-
ed, there will be a manufacturing back
country behind the Pacific ports which
will enable them to hold their own
against the Atlantic ports in spite of
the canal.

St. Louis, Mo, Dec. pa conference of
Middle the Road Populists met here
today in response to q call issued by 10.
A. Parker, of Kentucky, Chairman of the
National Committee Of that party. About
ninety members Of the National Commit

by proxy. Wharton Barker and Ignatius
Vice President in the recent election,
were not present. Chairman Parker
opened the meeting with short address
in the course of which he said that the
conference was called for the purpose of
consider ring the future policy of the Mid
dle-of -the- Readers. who stand for no
compromise. He believed in the divorce
ment from both the old parties and de-
clared that the fight should be carried
forward without any compromise. Mr..
Parker said he had issued the call to rep
resentatives of all branches of the POpu-
list party but that the 'Fusionsts" had
ignored it entirely.
The members of the conference debated
all of today over the advisability of form
ing a combination of the Social Demo-
cratic and the Union Reform parties. The
tenor of the speeches made by the COM
mitteemen was practically in unanimous
opposition to the plan and in favor of car
rying on the work of the Populist party
strictly along its own, lines. 1t was de-
cided to issue an address setting forth in
detail the views Of the committee.

that the prospect of response of the

counted on to give an impetus to the
