the combined naval strength Of those
three Powers would be inadequate to
cope with that Of their opponents In
the waters Of the Far East, because
the Anglo-Japanese fleet, besides being
at least equal in magnitude, would
possess incomparably superior nav
bases in the japanese and Chinese har-
bors. To enter upon such a contest
with any prospect Of success Russia
would need the help. not only OF Ger
many and France. but also that OF the
United States, which would carry with
il the invaluable naval bases in the
Philippines. No help from the United
States will be forthcoming for the pur-
pose Of disturbing a situation, which,
rs shaped by the new treaty, assures
the maintenance Of the " open IGOR
and the preservation Of China's TERRI
tory from ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
Checkmated in the Far East, Russia
can only seek elsewhere for a retrievai
Of her prestige, and she may now be
strongly tempted 20 enter on a policy
Of revenge. England, which has blocked
the Cars progress in Manchuria, as
she has blocked it on the Bosporus, is
herself by no mean proof against at
tack. She is vulnerable in India, in
Egypt and in South Africa. 1t is by
no means impossible that the French and
Russian fleets combined might con-
trive to disembark an army in Cape
Colony; and, il this enterprise mis-
carried, it is at least conceivable that
a Russian land army might reach the
Indus or the Nile. 1t may yet turn
out that the Russian Bear cannot be
worried W. tn impunity, and that, if shut
out from a coveted field, he may show
his prowess in another direction. It's
an i'll wind that blows nobody good, and
il ia possible that some of ~England's vic
tins may profit by the stroke that has
blasted Russian hopes in the Far East.

Of icewater. What does an icewater
pitcher In Hobokenf lcewater Is
a pleasant refrigerant for those VINO
love it. In a way 1t is the Official ana
national American drink; but we are
surprised that il had the cheek to sho"
itself in the Hoboken City Hall, where
its presence seems almost a violation OF
the historical and aesthetic proprieties'
Well. there stood the dauntless three
and there stood the big icewater pitcher,
ashamed of itself, let US hope, ana
blushing pinker. The Admiral, the
Aide and the Orderly came along IN a
carriage drawn by two spanking grays
and surrounded by a c%oncOurse OF COM
Portable and placid Hobokenites' Inc
party landed at the City Hall without
accident. A fat policeman-the adJec-
tive is superfluous, for all
policemen are and of right ought TO be
fat-hadn't energy enough TO salute
but he waved a fat hand en~couragingly
in the direction of the Mayors office.
A policeman has seen Aldermen ana
district leaders, and is too familiar with
greatness to be moved. At the door
OF the Council Chamber the Orderly
de~xterously whipped of the capes OF
Admiral and Aide. Then the two,
radiant with gold, advance upon the
group. The Admiral and the Mayor
| shake hands for W. whole minutes by
tho watch. 1t is safe TO say that no
other American ~Burgomaster will be
| favored with so long a bake. The
| President of the Tax Board and the
Chief of Police are introduced to the
Admiral. The Admiral introduces the
Mayor, President and Chief to the
Count Won HAUxTHAUsEN. Bow on bow;
everybody bows, including the loungers
who are stretching their necks at the
door Of the Office and can't be kept out
| by three policemen who are themselves
staring and bowling. After a few min
utes' conversation the visitors depart,
the Admiral STIMULATING that the Burgo-
master shall call on him the next day.
A characteristic American decoration
of the scene was " a young man who
had a cigar stub in his mouth which
remained there during the entire pro-
ceeding and who regarded the whole
affair with the evident disdain Of a free
born American citizen But the whole
affair was a success. A good deal freer
and easier on the side of the civil power,
than it would have been In Germany.
and with much less of fuss and feathers.
All the pleasanter on that account 20
the visitors, who get all the ceremony
they need in their own country. The
Burgomaster of Hoboken has earned
a decoration.

Joint resolution, " TO maintain the rela-

lie interests shall be promoted by such incorpors-
ton. and that such Incorporation VIII be conducive
TO the interests OF lie legitimate racing"
Tho bill also empowers the Racing
Commission to determine whether any
association now prepared TO d
races shall be permitted to exist.
The President Of the commission, Mr..
AUGUST BELMONT, AYERS that the prime
object of the measure is TO prevent he
formation of racing clubs in this State
whose meetings would interfere seriously
with those Of the present associations,
and, also, to discourage associations in
any part of the State whose existence
might be detrimental to the best interests
Of racing. As the law now stands, race
tracks may be built without any assur-
ance on the part Of their promoters that
the commission will grant them a license
to conduct meetings; and if the COM
mission were legally authorized to nip
such undertakings in the bud, the ex-
pense and embarrassment incident to
the construction Of undesirable courses
would be avoided.
The commissions position is clear. 1t
asks for no greater authority than Is
necessary to protect the rights OF the
associations now doing business which
have shown that they deserve protection.
To permit the competition OF other
associations unwilling or for any reason
unable 10 furnish the assurance that
their meetings will be conducted in
accordance with the rules and ideas
which have made horse racing decent
and profitable in the past would obvi-
ously be unjust 10 the real friends Of the
sport. The notion that the commission
desires in any way to restrict the ex-
pansion Of racing Of a wholesome and
legitimate sort is without foundation.
The beneficial influence of the COM
mission upon racing and, necessarily
therefore, upon the industry of breed
ing. has been plainly shown by the vastly
increased popularity Of the sport during
the past few years, and particularly in
1901; by the value of the stakes which
have been offered. nearly 1900, 200
having been paid to the owners Of win
ming horses last year, and by the in
creased value of thoroughbreds. Dur
ing 1901 the sales Of thoroughbreds at
public auctions aggregated 1881, 7Ss,
and it is estimated that the total amount
of money invested in them during the
year exceeded s., 100000.
The Racing Commission has shown
that il aDnreCiatps thorouphly tho OBJ
ject for which it was established; that
it knows how to keep the racetrack free
from the INSCRIPTIONS and irresponsible,
and that, above all. il understands the
true relation of racing to breeding.
Senator ELsBERG's bill as originally in
PRODUCED, and not a amended by Sena-
tor MCCARREN, should become a law.

According ,o Bradsuyuls the total

pointed out frequently heretofore, this
decline is more apparent than real in
asmuch as exports to Hawaii and Porto
Rico, i'm all probably S15,OOOOOO i'm 19Oa
are not included in last years statistics
owing to the change i'm classification of
these islands from foreign to domestic
ports Even if this small apparent de.
crease is admitted to exist however
fl is striking proof of the growth of
The country's trade that only this much
OF decline in the aggregate is noted.
The course Of export trade monthly
since the first year has never favored
any very large gain over that year of
a hundred years-190O-and the size of
lie falling off should hardly give ground
for much pessimistc writing. The
counuys trade, says the New York
Commercial Journal cannot increase in
definitely by leaps and bounds, and the
very small measure Of decrease, if in
deed a decrease is shown, is the best
testimony to the continued need of our
products by the rest Of the world.
Whatever the future may bring forth,
it can hardly be claimed that this coun-
try's export trade went down hill very
much in 1901,
There can be no doubt that the stats-
tics are imperfect as compared with
other years. The trade statistics show
that Hawaiis imports from the United
States in 1899, and in 1900 were consider
ably over 100000 and they certainly
have not fallen off during the last year
but have rather increased. But goods
coming to us or going to Porto Rico can
no longer be scheduled as exports The
truth is that the exports to both these
places, if they can be called exports
are a good twenty per cent higher than
they We're when the estimate Of $4,000
boo was made. This viii make the true
exports as compared with previous

MILcON,s LEPER RILL.

Senator KaIauokaIani is quite salts
fed that the Islands should be made
the Lazar House of the Pacific His
views upon the subject have been very
freely expressed, and though he is not
aware Of the fact contain the refutas
ton Of his own views. When question
cd about the matter he said Wilcox had
written that it was a good move, and
that therefore he thought so. 1t would
be an economy. Much money had to
be spent upon the settlement. 1t was
pointed out that lepers from all parts
of the States would be sent here. The
Federal government would pay for
them, and there would be contracts for
provisions so much the better said he.
Then it was pointed out that there
was a large leper population in the
Philippines. Let them come too" was
dhe Senator's conclusion. Then the
suggestion was made that it would be
better perhaps to have an island chos-
en- in the Philippines and have all lepers
removed from the Mainland and from
cur own Islands. That, said the Sena-
tor, could never do, because you would
be taking Hawaiians away from Ha-
wall.
The last sentence refuted the Sena-
tors argument, if an undigested view
can be called an argument The Sena-
tor had no objection for lepers being
exiIed from Massachusetts, or Louisi-
ana, or California to the Hawaiian ISL
ands. He regarded with perfect equa-
nimity the somewhat impossible pro-
posal Of expariating many thousand
leper FilipinOs and dumping them down
in the mid Pacific, that was all right.
But the moment his own argument was
advanced towards his own race, and
ure should be melted out to members Of
it, that he saw no harm in melting out
to other races, he was at once in arms.
The reason that the members of the
settlement at MOlOkai are fairly con-
tented is because they are near their
friends and kinsfolk. Though they
may not personally see them, there is
mail communication every week, and
the news Of their world reaches them
and keeps them in touch with their for
mer lives. Though segregated, they
are not expauiated and, being well
taken care of, they are content Here
in lies the whole secret Of the success
of the settlement. Senator Kalauoka-
Iani recognizes the truth Of the view
by his own remark, but he fails to re-
cognize why it is a truth, He would
act for his own race in one way, he has
no consideration for what might be
the feelings of other races, which might

OF course Wilcox's bill, or Kahn's bill
as it most probably is, has by no means
passed, and may never pass, but if it
does pass there is every reason to
think that it will prove unconstitution-
al What power is there in the United
States which can deport a citizen of
illinois for instance, out of the limits
of his own state. Because a man is a
leper he has committed no crime, any
more than a man who has contracted
small pox or cholera, or plague, has
committed a crime. For the safety Of
the citizens of the State, the civil gov
eminent can and does segregate those
who unhappily may be stricken with
small pox or cholera or any other con-
tagious disease, but the segregation
must be in the State, The State au-
thorities cannot deport such patients
into other States, and the Federal au-
thorites have no such right, as far as
the present writer can see.
A State must look out for it's own
sick as it must look after it's own poor
Neither sick nor poor can be deported,
What is true Of small pox, cholera or
such diseases, must be true of leprosy.
No amount of bills can make leprosy a
crime, any more than it can make in
sanity a crime. A State cannot deport
an insane man. If he has homicidal
tendencies the State has to provide
means to control him. Arguments on
this line will undoubtedly be raised in
Washington when the bill comes up for
discussion. But Senator Kalauokalani
has certainly struck an unconscious
key note.
