 Commenting upon this neglect 0f Alaska. while other American possessions have been monopolizing attention, the Seattle Post lntelligencsr says:
 "The population of Alaska Is composed alm ,st entirely, with the exception of the relatively few aboriglnlss, Of white Amer lers The great bulk Ot the nhabitints of Hawaii are natives or ASla,Ics. Amsri- cans are relatively few in either Puerto Rico or the PhilIppln,s. The eommereial importance Of Al ska, as measured by the volume of our export trade to the tsri- tory, Is at least ss great as that of any other of our non-contiguouS territories.
 "Ths question Of a proDsr form Of gov snmeni for sny one of the other non contiguous territories has excited the wlds-sprsld Interest throughout the United States, md differences Of opinion on this subject have been given the importance of natlonl Issues. Puerto Rico, HiwaIl and th. Philippines have occupied the center Of the stage, while Alaska Is far out In the wings.

The Whole District Threatened.

There is no logical ground of dispute be-
tween the local advocates of a personal
tax. a real estate tax. a license tax, and
other sources IF municipal income. Under
some circumstances those who urge the
adoption of one or another method of rails
ing revenue, as the exclusive method,
might properly contend among themselves
as to the relative merits of this or that pro-
cess. Or if a plan were pending so to adj
just the tax barden as to equalize it, by
the raising of more or less revenue by this
that process, there would be ground for
local contention. But the proposition now
pending is not to make a more equitable
apportionment of the tax burden in the
District. There is no idea on the part of
Congress, apparently, to increase the per-
sonal tax in order that the weight Of tax
alton laid upon the owners of real estate
may be lessened, or vice versa.
The proposition is to increase both the
real and personal taxation to secure
an additional million of revenue from each.
The idea involves such, vast possibilities
for local bankruptcy, both municipal and
Individual, that the opposition of every
citizen is challenged. and the interests of
persons of the most varied views the
abstract subject of taxation become con-
necessity to resist a movement which so
seriously threatens them all The PROPOSE
ton has been treated so far in careless.
offhand way by Congress. as if it did not
involve nearly doubling of the per capita
tax burden, and an increase of the aggre-
gate of local taxation of more than fifty
per cent
In brief. Congress is seeking an increase
IN, hos
presented no convincing reasons for such
an increase. 1t has itself created the de-
ficiency in local revenues which serves as
the sole basis for this radical course 1t
has ordered violations of the organic act
and has ignored pleas and protests of the
District against such infractions. 1t has
shifted great blocks of the local resources
from the general to the water fund 1t has
forced conditions which precipitate an ap-
parent crisis in the Districts finances. And
it's remedy for these. it's own acts, is to
add to the local tax burden in proportion
never before heard of in municipal financing
by imposing a personal tax of hasty prepa-
ration in addition TO an increase in the
proceeds of the real estate tax of nearly
80 per cent.
Whether he is an advocate of personal
taxation. of real estate taxation or of fran
chise license taxation, the material in
terests of every District citizen are threat
ened. The Intelligent Washingtonian will
not be distracted by. the invitation TO pause
TO discuss the merits of his favorte form
of raising local revenue. He will fight
suuarely for the avoidance of this unjust
and heavy burden. urging the adoption of
the remedy of a national advance for the
existing contingency and the RELOCATION of
the task of readjusting the tax burden on
equitable principles to future time when
there will be opportunity for thoughtful!
and intelligent solution of the problem.

his party on the one overshadowing issue of
the day. He Is as much Of q republican as
ever on the questions of sound money and
sympathy with populistic notions about the
Initiative and referendum and public own
ership Of public utilities. But on the ques-
tdon OF imperialism he stands alongside
Of Mr.. Bryan himself. His speeches on
that question are the delight of the anti
1mperialists- They even circulate in free
Spanish translations in the camps Of the in
surgents in the Philippines.
But, SO far, as The Star pointed out last
week. Mr.. Hoar has not broken with his
party. There has been nothing Sumnerian
in his attitude toward those republican lead
ers who have taken the other side of the
philippine question. He continued to the
last on terms Of almost affectionate init
macy with Mr.. Mckinley, and delivered a
most feeling eulogy of him after the as
sassin had done his work. His esteem for
the men who negotiated the Paris treaty is
very high. He is on cordial terms with Mr.
Roosevelt, although thoroughly acquainted
with the fact that the President insists
that the flag shall stay put in the Philip
pines.
Will Mr.. Hoar continue to hold this atti-
tude? The fight Is getting warm. The re-
pupifcans will go into the campaign Of 1904
asking an Endorsement of their Philippine
policy. The democrats will ask that it be
condemned. MIR. Hoar already condemns It,
with which side will he stand then? Mr.
Hoar's greatest test is yet to come

fully develop Cuba's extraordinary re-

cess In the soil Of Cuba Is the germ of

may he handle that homeiy implement with
energy and good returns!
Acknowledgements are made anew to the
United States for It's friendship, and what
gives them especial significance is the rec
ommendation that accompanies them. The
sanitary work done by the American au-
thorities is praised. and it should be con-
tinued. The educational work done by the
Americans is excellent, and should be con-
tinued and extended. These are vital mat
tiers In the scheme Of Cuban government.
as President Palma wisely reckons, and
he gives them prominence in his suggestions
to congress.
What exists in Cuba today, therefore, is a
government established on American mod
els. the chief officer of which has for many
years been a resident Of the United States
and a student of American institutions, and
whose purpose it is to build on American
lines. Surely there ought to be no great
difficulty in effecting a very close union be-
tween such a government and this govern
ment. Everything favors it. Everything
proves the necessity for such union. and
it Is reasonably certain to come. And it's
fruits, when it does come. will be shared
alike by Cubans and Americans.
But meanwhile we may expect in the one
country in the other the activity Of men
who having from the outset been opposed
to a free Cuba-Spaniards In Cuba and
Spanish sympathizers in the United States
are still hopeful of upsetting the coach
Just now they are loud in demanding a
searching investigation of the American &C
counts. upon the unsupported allegation
that the Cubans were robbed right and left
during the time Of American occupation
The accounts must in the nature of things
be examined. but it is amusing to see an
exhibition of such warm solicitude for the
Cuban wallet by those who have always
insisted that the Cubans themselves are
nothing but ragged lot of marauders and
pig thieves.

MI. Hoar and Mr.. Sumner.

1t is suggested that Mr. Hoar is going
the way of Mr.. Sumner. But will he go
the whole way?
Mr. Summer. 1t will be remembered, diff
fered with his party during the latter years
OF his service in the Senate. and toward
the end left the party. He died in opposi-
ton to many men with whom he had af-
fiiiated for years. He was an aggressive,
a masterful sort Of man. and believed in
himself implicitly. Where there was a diff
ference of opinion on any subject to which
he had given attention. the s;umnerian
opinion must prevail or a GOODNESS at least
between him and the other person resulted
This meant of course a row of frst-class
proportions when the Massachusetts, sena-
tor and as resoute a man as General Grant
took opposing sides. Mr.. Sumner pushed
his opposition to extremes and became
anti-Grant to the core.
