INVESTIGATIONS.

Of inquiries into the conditions of the
various sea possessions Of the United
States there seems to be no end. BY
last mail we heard that President
Roosevelt had sent a confidential COM
missioner to the Philippines and Ha-
wall in order to bring him information
as to conditions in both those places.
Now Senator Mitchell of Oregon has
offered a. resolution directing the Com
mittee upon Pacific Islands and Porto
Rico to inquire into the general con-
dition of Hawaii, the administration Of
affairs, the quality, condition and value
of the public lands the crown lands
and the title of the former Queer To
this Senator Hoar made an amend
ment, which was accepted, that the
committee Should enquire whether the
ex-Queen has any claim against the
United States, legal or equitable, by
reason of having parted hitherto with
her title"
Reports Of general conditions in Ha-
wall have been made many times. They
have come from the territorial officials
and non-ohicials here. There have
been reports bearing from every point
of view. There have been reports made
by the Federal officials here. There
have been special reports by passing
officials, as that of Admiral Evans who
took in the situation on his way to
Samoa. OF course in such a multiple
city of reports there must be many
contradictory statements, and con-
gressional committee may straighten
these out so that those Senators and
Representatives who take an interest
in the Territory may understand them
and value them better according to
their merits.
The land question one would have
thought had been thoroughly threshed
out, but it appears that it is not There
is still a lurking desire on the part Of
some men to divide off the Islands into
sections thing which would be an
impossibility under the conditions
which hold good here. The crown
lands question also crops up in spite
of the reams of explanation written
about it.
However we will welcome tie con-
fdential enquirer, and the committee
We can go over again on the spot, the
arguments which have been used in
Washington. The more people become
familiar with our conditions, economic
and political, the better for the ad-
yancement of the Territory.

ing money from General Wood and
from Havemeyer for advocating cuban
reciprocity and pushing the idea all
over the United states. There has ma
maly been question in many states
mems mind whether General Wood, us
ing public funds and Mr. Havemeyer
using his own funds and giving money
for the same object, do not find their in
forests Identical This would naturally
strengthen the argument that Cuban
reciprocity though apparently being
urged for the benefit of the Cuban agri-
culturalist viii really benefit the Anne
ican capitalist Taking this view Pre-
sident Palma with his talk of a ruined
island, would only be a puppet in the
hands of those capitalists. That Pre-
with such schemes, no one believes, but
that he is prejudiced with regard to
Cuban reciprocity is quite possible.
Another objection to Cuban recipro-
city lies in the labor problem. With
reciprocity Cuba can have Unrestricted
cheap labor. Labor is cheap enough in
Cuba at present, but the actual Cuban
labor could be supplemented by cheap
labor from otherWest Indies islands and
from South America As long as Cuba
remains an Independent Republic, there
can be no restrictions as to labor, ex-
cept those which the Cuban assembly
shall pass. On the other hand the in
tegral portions of the United States are
obliged to conform to the labor laws of
the United States This manifestly
puts United States territories and pos
sessions upon observation-disclosures foot
ing with regard to Cuba.
Senator Elkins moves that cuba be
at once admitted as a state. This would
settle the labor question and would take
away the unknown bonus. But do the
Cubans want to be a state? They have
talked a great deal about their indie
pendent Republic, and though the con-
servative party would certainly like to
be annexed, there is very strong anti
annexation party, who would oppose
even statehood. Moreover if Cuba is
admitted as a state, much more ought
Hawaii to be so admitted. The Cuban
question is quite a serious one, and does
not appear the clearer in the light of
the Presidents message.

CUBA.

The Cuban question has been looming
up more and more, and now seems to
have reached an acute stage The re-
ciprocity scheme has always been dear
to President Roosevelts heart, as it is
dear to that of General Wood. Both
the President and the ex- military Gov
ernor take an immense interest in the
island. The President was present
throughout the war as Colonel of the
Rough Riders, and got to know the
Cubans personally. The military
governor has spent the most brilliant
part of his career ON the Island, and
has virtually been autocrat OF the for
mer spanish colony. Il is natural that
both these gentlemen should have a
strong leaning to Cuba But by no
means does the Republican party back
the Presidents views solidly.
The beet sugar men are against reel
procity. The TOBACCO interests are
against reciprocity, and the louisiana
sugar men are against it. Hawaii and
Porto Rico have certainly their own
interest which is not in favor Of the
reciprocity proposition, Moreover the
strict protectionists are adverse to the
pulling down of the tariff bars,
Under these circumstances the Presi-
dent has sent a message to Congress
outlining the policy which he thinks
should be pursued and calling atten-
ton to the words OF the late President.
The President tries to meet the obiec-
lion which has been forcibly made. that
Cuban reciprocity would give little or
nothing to the producer Of the sugar,
but that the profit would find. its way
into the pockets of American refiners
and Spectators. He considers that this
objection should be overcome, but he
does not point out any way by which it
could be overcome hut after all that is
not the business Of the message.
If the Cuban agricuIturalist is not to
benefit by reciprocity, it certainly does
not seem satisfactory to give recipro-
city to an island which has produced
the largest cane sugar crop in the world
and which will produce it again. At
the present time Cuba is keeping back
double the quantity of sugar which has
been produced by Hawaii IN its very
best years, ana has yet sold about one
third of its crop at present rates. This
shows that the Cuban crop has been
brought up in great measure by capi-
talists and that il is! trey who will
reap the advantage. 1t is not the Cuban
who will be ruined 10y tile failure of
reciprocity He has SOLD his crop at
low rates, it is the capitalist who will
scoop in the surplus, and the capitalist
lives in the United States,

Everybody is claiming the power of
giving good government. The Home
Rulers promise it, but only the dupes
believe that story. The Democrats
promise it, but everyone knows that a
Democratic government plunged the
country deep into an abyss of depres-
sion, and would do so again. The true
good government is the Republican,
which does not promise vaguely but
points to success in manufacture, sue
cess in commerce, full treasury and a
contented people. 1t is not what is
promised but what has been accom-
plished that we should look at. Prom
ises are like pie crusts. Deeds speak
louder than words. Republican success
browns all other feeble cries.

The health of King Edward is a
matter of extreme anxiety to the Brit
ish as a nation, He comes, however,
of a long-l lived family, and has passed
most of the dangerous periods of hu-
man life. The indispostion which the
King was reported to be suffering from
by the last telegram was but a slight
one, and will probably pass off quickly.
