RECIPROCITY WITH CUBA.

All the talk OF close commercial rela
tons with Cuba is premature, for the
very good reasons, first that there Is no
government there with which the
United States may treat, and second
that the conditions under which such
treaty may be made, a declaration on
the part of that country as to its own
tariff in which the United states may
desire modification. are not present
IL will be the first aim of a Cuban re-
public to secure commercial treaty
which will give special advantages to
the great staples of the island, sugar
and tobacco. Already members of the
constitutional convention have endeav-
Ored to learn the desires of this coun-
try, and the disposition which will be
manifested toward the sugar imports.
1t must not be lost to sight that in
reciprocity treaties the first duty and
view of the commissioners of the United
states is to the people. II must be
shown that advantages will accrue to
the country, through exports which
would not move without the special in
| ducement of tariff concessions. before
treaty of open trade may be hoped
! for by another nation. The question
then will be what advantages has Cuba
to offer to this country in exchange
for discriminating duty on sugar and
tobacco. In this connection the view
taken Of the matter by the Washington
star" Is:
II is never safe to permit sentiment 10
invade the domain OF business. We SYM
pathizcd with the Cubans in their adver'
slty under Spain, and in the end went
10 war in their behalf. The United State:
does not regret the act. 1t wishes CubS
well in the effort she Is about 10 max,
to take place among the nations. A:
near neighbor We shall watch her prog
ress with solicitude. But In treating will
her as TO business relations We shall
plant ourselves OF course on a business
basis. We shall want something In re
turn for whatever we are asked to grant
and II will be necessary for Cuba to con
slider our propositions purely from
business viewpoint as they have bee
made. We shall have the advantage o
her in this, that We shall be able to &c
along without her very much more eas
lily than she will be able to get aloni
without us.

TIM RED BANANA.

Twenty years ago no one who bought
Il banana in the New York market took
a yellow-skinned one If there was a
red-skinned specimen to be had. The
yellow ones were called plantains and
their coarse quality and their want of
delicate flavor put them under the
gastronomic ban. At present, as we
hear, the red banana is not often seen
in the East, the yellow variety having
captured and held the trade
The change was not one of palate.
Time had not improved The plantain nor
had it robbed the red banana of its fine
texture nor of it's exquisite creamy
flavor. But growers had found that
the percentage of loss from a shipment
of yellow skinned bananas was only
about one-half that of shipment of
the red variety. so they concluded to
stick to the more profitable fruit. And
| that is why the banana buyers of the
east have to content themselves with
inferior stock.
But why should the banana buyer OF
Hawaii follow suit? For his own con
sumption why should he not have tn,
best banana that grows? we hav,
often thought the Hawaiian Chimes,
were strangely lacking in business

banana plants from Cuba and put tn
product on the local. market. Ten acre

Republicans Differ.

After the announcement on the
streets yesterday morning of the nom
ination of James Lewis by the native
party, the sentiment of Republican
leaders on the subject Of endorsing the
nomination was divided. While some
insist that it would harmonic the po-
ltical elements, others point out that
il Is the duty of the Republicans to
enter the field with as strong a candi-
date as can be found. There will be
a strong element which will oppose any
endorsement of Lewis, even though II
is candidate can be elected.-Hilo Trib'

in the Civil War and made a good i'm

war with Spain. The qualities that rem

described as follows by Captain r. l..

by character more submissive to dis
cipline. by nature more good humored
and happy, from social position more

we believe that the Journal is much
mistaken in assuming that any of our
civil colleges and universities are the
scenes of such hazing practices as the
investigation has shown to exist at
West Point. Not even in the palmicst
days of hazing, years ago. were such
brutal and cowardly outrages perpe-
trated by the sophomores. at least of
our New England colleges. as have
been common among the cadets. No
hazing worth the name is now known
at any Maine college, and only occa-
sionally is there an outbreak at some
college in the country, and then the
case is mild in comparison with those
under investigation at West Point.

1t is only the inevitable which has come
to pass in the substitution of the Bur
leigh for the HOPKINS plan. An endeavor
was made by Mr. Hopkins and his com
mittee to hold the House TO its present
membership of 3J1. but that involved a
loss of representation of several states
which had not increased In population 80
rapidly as the remainder Of the country.
Maine was one OF these sufferers. Her
Congressman naturally resented IL, and
they secured the powerful support Of the
strong Massachusetts delegation. They
had further assistance from the West.
anu they succeeded on Tuesday in sub
stitUting for the committee bill the bill
OF Representative Burleigh Of Augusta.
which saved TO Maine her four Congress
men. and provided for an increase in the
membership Of the House from S57 70 $50.
This seems to be an equitable division
on either sectional basis or party ba e
sis. 1t follows with eXactness the gen
eral growth OF the population. IL is
probably as satisfactory a plan as could
be devised. considering the strenuous oh
lection in depriving any one state of the
representation which II already has in

own interests. New England has no cause
to find any fault with 1t.
