Joseph Welden Bailey, OF Texas,
has succeeded Marion Butler, OF
North Carolina, as the youngest
member Of the United States SEN
ate. Senator Bailey will not be
thirty eight years old until Octo.
Der next. Albert J. Beveridge, OF
Indiana. another Senator to whom
fame has come early, Is exactly a
year older. their birthdays being
on October 6.
Senator Bailey looks the South
erner. He was born in Missis-
sippi. He wears his black hair
long, and only soft, wide brimmed
hat is permitted to cover it. His
little string tie is always white, and
he displays as much white shirt
bosom as the shirt makers will
manufacture for him. He has
served five terms in the House Of
Representatives, and was party
leader tor one session.

The CArpetbARger Problem IN
Hawaii.

The CarpetbARger Problem IN
Hawaii.
Our American brethren in Ha-
waii are not dwelling together in
unity or wasting much affection
upon each other, suggests the
Baltimore SNH. The "old resi-
dents" Of this Pacific territory zap
purtenant to the United States"
want to hold on to all the offices
and not share them with the push
ing gentlemen from this country
who have gone to the island in
search of official plums, The con-
sequence is that Hawaii has
"carpetbagger problem" on ats
hands, and the island, as far as its
American population is concerned,
is divided into factions, each hav-
ing a newspaper organ and each
TCvilTng the other with exceptional
vigor and bitterness. In the Ha-
waiian language the "carpetbag-
ger" is designated "Malihini,"
whereas the white man whose
father was born on the island is
termed "Kamaaina." Between
the "Malihini" and the "Kamaa-
ina" there is now war to the knife
and the knife to the hilt. The feud
began shortly after the annexation
Of the island to the United States
in July, 1898.
The Honolulu AdvErttsey Is the
organ Of the Kamaainas. In a
recent issue il roasts the "Malihi-
mis-" brown. ''No 'carpetbaggers'
the Hawaiians have ever known"
it AYERS, "came here TO do them
good-not one wanted to make
money for them, to elevate them to
high places. to guide them toward
useful franchises and into the ave-
nues OF corporate wealth, least of
all to build them up in morals or
religion. The gifts they have had
from the 'carpetbaggers' are those
of flattery and empty promises;
the gifts they have returned are
money and power. Strangers have
been imported to take Offices that
may be created or become vacant.
Are the Hawaiians going to be
cats paws forever. that men who
have done nothing for them or tor
the islands and care nothing for
either may iatten on the spoils Of
politics1" To these pertinent OBJ
servations the Sunday VolcaN0, OF

1870 who had first displayed a white
flag and then opeped FIRE on passing
troop Of Uhlansl We are on somewhat
more doubtful ground when we find that
buildings were deliberately burnt, not
because of any specific offence on the
part of the inhabitants, but in pursuance
ofthe policy Of laying waste the country
used as base by enemy" The
system of devastating district has been
abandoned since the beginning OF this
year, less perhaps, on account Of the
outcry at home, than because it has
been found impossible to carry it out
on a scale which would make it effectual.
II the campaign, with all its waste of life
and burden ofsulering, could have been
summarilY concluded by these methods,
we should not complain of them. Un-
happily, this has not been the result,
and deliberate wrecking of Boer farms
for strategical reasons has ceased. The
least satisfactory cases in the Return
are those in which houses occupied by
women have been demolished simply
because the husbands were on COM
mando. There was particular instance
OF the kind in the town of Ventersburg
last January, when a whole batch of
urban dwellings-not tiarmhouses--were
DESTROYED because the owners were away
hghting against US 10 the field. This is
proceeding which was explicitly for
hidden at the Hague Conference, and is
condemned by most writer's on interna.
tional law. Would the allies in 1874
have had the right to burn the shop of
a Paris tradesman because the owner
was carrying a musket in one of the
Emperor's regiments2 The Return
throws no light on the destruction of
Gen De Vets farm near the Rhenoster
rivel, for which no cause is assigned.
Some mistakes. doubtless, were made,
and this may have been one of them.
War is rough and hastY business, and
a wide margin for accident and error
must be allowed, But on the whole the
general charge Of cruelty in connection
with this house burning cannot be sus-
and in the great majority of
cases it is clear that when private dwell
ings were destroyed it was the residents
or their friends who had really brought
the calamity upon themselves.

Our Magnificent Oriental Trade.

Mr.. Mckinley on his recent tour
made frequent reference to our
important and growing trade with
the Orient.
Just how important is it7 And
just how much is it growing2
Our total trade, imports and ex-
ports included, with all Asia in
1891 was $99,saa,4IO. In 1900 it
was Sso4,7s6,I37. That shows a
total increase OF about sIos 600, :
900 in ten years.
In the same ten-year period our
total trade with Europe--in spite
OF our persistent and elaborate ef-
forts to diminish il by hostile tariffs
increased by $3.50, ,ooo, 900. A
very little lifting OF the tariff bar
rie's on our side and a reciprocal
lifting OF the European tariff bar
riers would easily add more TO our
trade with Europe in a year than
we have added to our trade with
the Orient in ten wears, or than we
can possibly add to it in twenty
years TO come.
To sum it all up, Just about 4
per cent Of our exports go to and
Just about r6 per cent OF our ex.
ports come from the Orient. And
deducting from our total trade
Herewith that portion OF it which
is done with British Asia, what is
lett is utterly insignificant.
Our important and growing
trade with the Orient is next door
to hollow humbug.

Lonaon Oaiy Msys, Nay u.

The action Of the Chief Secretary was
not only illegal, but it was foolish, Mr..
Wyndham is both a clever and an amia
bic man, but on this occasion he must
have lost his head. When Mr.. Dillon
asked him for an explanation in the
House of Commons he relied upon that
vague and elastic entity, the common
law. It must be very uncon mon law
which authorizes such proceedings as
these, and we should very much like to
see the Minister who would adopt them
In Engl nd or Scotland. Mr.. Wyndham
says that his objects were to prevent the
continued commission of a crime, and
to preserve evidence OF the crime having
been committed. The second point is
pueriIe, Any policeman could have
bought a copy of the Lyish People for a
penny, and a newspaper does not be.
come better evidence by being torcibly
seized. The first point Is a quIbble. We
can conceive circumstances in which
such a plea might be urged. II, for
example, a newspaper openly melted to
the murder of an unpopular Individual,
its stoppage might actually prevent the
commission OF the offence. As Sir
George TrevvelYan said when he was
Chief Secretary for Ireland. a newspaper
may be as much the machinery Of
murder as pistol or a knife. But what
Mr.. Wyndham means by the continued
commission of a crime is the continued
dissemination of the libel. To prevent
that is a power which the British Con.
stitution has not given the Executive
Government. Libel, or 40 libel. is for
the jury, not for the Chief Secretary to
the Lord Lieutenant. The King is as
much entitled to protection from libel
as any Of his subjects, but il is nonsense
to say, as Mr.. Balfour said, that he
cannot defend himself

low, husky tones, leaning toward the
dainty vision occupying the other end
of the boat ''lf were 70 tell You that

cording to its will does not change
the situation. It is no more right
now than it was before the decision
was rendered. The people OF
Europe are quick to discover the
weakness of our position. In en-
barking in career or foreign con-
quest the United States has, in fact,
forfeited one of its most useful pre-
tensions and abandoned that posi-
tion of isolation and freedom from
foreign entanglements which serve
to scare off foreign flibusters. AS
long as the policy Of George Wash
ington was maintained there was
no need OF great standing army
nor Of a great navy. No foreign
country had any desire to attack
US as long as we attended to our
own affairs. Our trade and friend
ship were too valuable to be lightly
abandoned.
The cause Of this coming con-
flict, it is asserted, will be German
interests in Brazil. In the Province
of Rio Grande, Brazil, there are
even now quarter Of a million
Germans, In Santa Catharina Co.
600 and in two of the towns 80 per
cent. OF the people are German.
Altogether in Brazil there are 4oo,-
900 Germans, besides large colonies
in Chile. Germany, it is believed,
may elect to take a hand in the
affairs of countries where there are
so many Germans, and it may be
forced to protect them. 1t may
even determine to benevolently as.
simulate them, and then il the
United States wants to assert the
Monroe Doctrine, according to the
theory of the London paper. the
assertion must be backed up by a |
navy,
Whether a war between the
United States and Germany would |
be pleasing to our Engl sh cousins |
or not, the people oil the United 4
States are perfectly well satisfied |
that such calamity will not hap
pen. 1t is true that the attempt |
by the United States to persist in
the Monroe Doctrine
might cause trouble, but it seems
pretty well assured that the present |
policy OF this Administration in
wolves the abandonment Of that
theory. While we are ex-
panding and conquefing and es-
coaling stations in both
hemispheres and in every sea IL
can scarcely be possible for US 20
deny to Germany and all other
countries of Europe the same right.
There is another bond OF peace
with the Kaiser. While there are
half million Germans in South
American there are a great many
more than that number in North
and il would not be
pleasant for the Fatherland to de-
clare war against its own childen.
Upon the whole the prospect OF
war is not alarming.
