Carter.

Anent the statement in yesterdays S
Advertiser relative to the request for
Mr.. Sewal's resignation, 7. McCants
Stewart states that There is not a
word of truth in it" The facts remain
the same however, that the resignation
of Harold NJ. Sewall, as Republican
Committeeman for Hawaii, has been
requested, and that T. McCants Stew
art was one of the original movers in
the matter. He desired to have the
executive committee take action by
resolution which he would propose. He
approached a few of the members up

members of this committee, but a
prominent Republican. was Senator

THE TWO MARKETS
WILL BE UNITED
Honolulu Shareholders Are to Be
Paid in metropolitan
Stock.

It is only matter Of days or hours
until the two meat markets Will have
consolidated. The step, it was thought,
would be effected yesterday, but ow-
ing to a hitch In some of the minor
details of the affair, the matter was
postponed. So far as all practical pur-
poses are concerned, there is but one
meat market here now.
For some time it has been known
that the Honolulu market was los
ing investment, and since the ss0,00O
suit, there has been steady and con-
stant reduction in the working force.
The proposition that has faced the
stockholders of late has been one of
two things. either close down altogeth-
er, or else sell as soon as possible.

NO CLOUD IN SIGHT.
Proper Place for Pessimlsts Is in an In
sane Asylum.

Albany Journal.
Daring the last Presidential campaign,
when attention was directed to the pros
perity that had returned under Republl'
can rule, the stereotyped reply OF the
Bryanites was ooh well, that would
have come any way; it was an accident
and it will not lsst."
Where is the Bryanite today who has
the hardihood to declare that American
prosperity will not last ? Not only are
there no premonitory signs of approach
lug reaction, but the few clouds that were
within our horizon are disappearing.
The trouble in the Philippines is sure
soon to be a thing of the past; Cuba, which
for little while was inclined to be OBJ
streperous, is coming to terms; we are not
going to be involved in any possible COM
plications in China, whatever their nature
may be; despite temporary loss of trade In
China our total exports continue to In
crease; the indications are that the antic-
ipated strike of coal mineIs will be avert
ed; the producing capacity of factories,
mills and furnaces is employed to its full
extent; most railroads weekly report In
creased earnings; crop prospects are ex-
cellent; money was never so plentiful;
there is absolutely nothing of an alarming
or even a discouraging nature in sight.
Wall street has seen almost unprecedented
appreciation of values of securities, and a
certainly unprecedented absorption OF
stocks by investors. For the first time in
the history of the country, men who have
much money to invest no longer hesitate
to discard government securities, which
yield beggarly return on the investment,
and purchase instead the stocks OF num-
erous railroads. surely they would not
do that if they we're not convinced that
the prosperity of the United States is on
firm and enduring basis.
There is in this country no place out
side the hospitals for the insane, for pes
slmists in these times.

AN OPPORTUNITY LOST.

A political organization that fails to
avail itself of every legitimate opportunity
to strengthen itself with the people can
not expect to become successful. In these
latter days it seems to us that the Repub-
lican party in Virginia fails to avail itself
of the most favorable opportunities that
present themselves for the strengthening
of the organization. To our mind no more
favorable occasion was ever presented for
winning the support of the masses and
organizing the party on firm basis than
the election Of delegates to tie constltu'
tional convention.
The questions that could have been
raised against the Democracy and its can
didates in all the counties of the State
would have placed them on the defensive
all the time, and could not have failed to
do otherwise than result in great future
good for the Republican party. On the
suffrage question the past and present at
titude of the Democrats could have been
used with great force by the Republicans
The ayowed purpose of the Democrats for
holding the convention being that of re-
stricting or reforming suffrage so as to de-
prive certain classes of citizens of the
right to vote, would have caused those
classes to rally solidly to the support OF
Republican candidates when presented.
Toe possibility of the present public school
system being seriously interfered with
would have also been a strong point
against the Democracy. There are many
persons vet living in the State who can re-
call the fact that the Virginia Democracy
was bitterly opposed to the present con-
stitution as much for the reason that 1t
provided for our public schools as for any
other reason. This fact could have been
recalled and used with great effect upon
the masses who are educating their child
rem in the free schools. There are other
questions that could also have been used
by the Republicans with telling effect.
But the opportunity has been lost. There
should have been a contest made in every
county in the State, and it would have re-
suited in thorough organization of the
party that would have made it potential
in future elections.

THE newspapers in the United States
that are encouraging the Cubans not to
accept the Platt amendments are doing
those people as great injury as was done
the Filipinos by encouraging them to re-
sist the lawful authority of our Govern
ment. There is nothing that is unjust in
the Platt amendments, or that will work
injury to Cuba. The declaration of Senior
Gomez, in an imprisoned speech, in the
Cuban constitutional convention 81
would rather be under the sovereignty of
Spain than that of the United States, !"
proves conclusively that it would be fear
full TO leave the island at the mercy of such
men as Gomez. He said further, in speak
ing of the Platt amendment IL would
either die of grief or leave the country
should 1t be accepted. man VINO Is
such fool or brute as to prefer the brutal
control of Spain to the wise and humane
government of the United States is not
fitted to rule any people. They are the
class of men who are resisting the Platt
amendment; and are the ones American
citizens and newspapers are urging to re-
sent the policy of the United States.

Wednesday evening with an audience as
sembed to hear something as to the OBJ
iect and scope of the proposed constitu-
tional convention of Virginia, which meets
at Richmond June IL, in reference to the
proposed division of the school tax for the
white and coored schools, and the disfran-
chisement of the negroes. An organized
effort is being made by the negroes to
prevent this division of the taxes which,
it is stated, means the closing up of their
schools, as we'll as the testing of any meas

constitution may impose upon them and
not upon the whites. The speaker of the
occasion was a colored lawyer, james b..

The Isle of Pines.
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press.
Why not tell the truth ? fla news
paper chooses to attack the policy of the
Republican party toward Cuba as laid
down in the Platt amendments why not
follow the record
The treaty of Paris, carefully drawn and
following Spanish official usage. discrlm'
mated between "Cuba," "PSrto Rice"
and "other islands in the West Indies. "
In "Cuba," Spain, by the treaty, "relln'
oushes all claims ofsovereignty and title "
Porto Rico and "other islands in the West
Indies" were "ceded to the United
States"
The elsie of Pines" was by this Ian
guage included in the "other islands In
the West Indies" Some of them were
by administrative order attached to Porto
Rico. The Isle of Pines was by Spain at
tached to Cuba for administrative pur-
poses. This did not make it part Of Cuba.
1t remained an island apart, one Of the
"other islands in the West Indies owned
by Spain. Nothing is better established
in construction than that all the words in
a clause are to be taken in like meaning.
All the Spanish "other islands in the West
Indies" were attached to either porto
Rico" or CUBA" If these words were
used in their administrative sense the
phrase "other islands in the West Indies
would be unnecessary. If these words are
used in their geographical sense "Cuba"
does not Include the elsie Of Pines"
This is perfectly clear. No one can
doubt either this principle or the con-
struction its application brings on the
treaty of Paris. Yet, while the United
States has valid claim on the Elsie OF
Pines" it does not assert that right in the
Platt amendments. What it does do is to
provide that this issue be decided by me-
gotiation. The provision on this subject
is as follows
That the Isle of Pines shall be emitted
from the proposed constitutional bound
aries of Cuba, the title thereof being left
to future adjustment by treaty.
All this proposes is that neither party
PREJUDICE the issue. Cuba is not to decide
it for itself in itsconstitution. The United
States does not assert its right. The en-
tire subject is left for future negotiation
and agreement.
Yet the sixth clause in the Cuban
amendments proposed to the army bill by
Senator Plat is perpetually represented as
"seizing" the Isle of Pines. Some news
papers say STEALING" it. All Congress
has done is to assure that neither party
shall claim the island on a disputed con-
struction without mutual agreement by
treaty. The Isle of Pines remains under
this clause open to be either American or
Cuban, as is finally decided, though a
prima facie title exists, vested in the UNI
ted States by the treaty OF Paris.

SENATOR JAMES X. JONES, Chairman of
the National Democratic Committee, in
recent interview admitted that: at is
quite within reason to believe that there
will be notifications of the platforms of
Chicago or Kansas City" 1t is about
time for reason to be teaching Mr.. Jones
that the people of the United States will
never permit the dangerous doctrines set
forth by those platforms to be put in oper-
alton. 1t would be well for Mr. Bryan If
he would reach the same conclusion.

GENERAL PROSPERITY.

Occasionally we run across a croaker
who is not satisfied with present business
conditions. Such persons, as rule, when
cornered, are forced to admit that the
situation is much better than it has been
for years and much more gratifying than
they had been led to expect.
From all sections of the United States
we read and hear of wonderful activity In
agricultural and manufacturing industries.
This is so at the South as well as at the
North, in the East as well as the West,
while with the Pacific Coast States there is
a rush of business that has never been
equalled in their history.
Even the most pronounced pessimists
are silenced by the gratifying conditions
that are found everywhere. The produc'
ers and consumers are filled with content;
and no one but the selfseeking politicians
are expressing dissatisfaction. The two
classes that seem to be most contented are
the farmers and workingmen, generally.
We find the cotton planter at the South
not only satisfied with the present but
hopeful of the future. The prices realized
for his crops raised last year were so good
that he is lifted from the condition of
gloom and desperation in which he had
for so long been held. The same may be
said of the Western farmers. They have
been delighted with forty cents corn,
seventy cents wheat, substantial advances
in the prices of cattle, horses, hogs, sheep,
wool and all other agricultural products.
AS with the farmers, so it has been with
the men who work in the shops and fac
tories. in the mines, in the helds, and
everywhere. They have been steadily
employed and the rate of wages has been
exceptionally good.
What has brought about these health
full, these happy conditions? The ma
iority of the people are disposed to give
the credit, in great measure, to the broad
and liberal policy of the present Admins
tration. There can be no doubt that con-
fidence in McKinley's honesty and ability
has given confidence to the business
world, and confidence is the foundation OF
enterprise and prosperity.
