EXPANDING COMMERCE.

Count Matsukata, Japans former
minister OF finance. who recently Wis
tied the United States, in an interview
expresses the fear that our phenome-
nal prosperity cannot last Says he:
While | WAS deeply impressed with
the tremendous energy OF The Ameri-
cans and their wonderful commercial
development, l fear that the too rapid
progress of the United States Is likelv
TO experience a serious setback in the
near tuture. The commercial energy
Of the Americans incomparablv suT-
passes anything in Europe. This Is
undoubtedly one of the principal causes
on the economic progress OF the United
sIates' l perceive in many directions
Where buropean countries are already
tnected by American expansion. and
Vhlnk II likely that they will be still
more auected in the future But
Americas progress has been so exceed.

This opinion from so astute a mar

the Yankees Of the East." and hav
shown a progressive spirit that make
the appellation appropriate. The his
tory of business shows an ebb and flo,
OF prosperity. When things are pros
porous, money is taken from the tilli
and when this is exhausted, credit
staked. Everybody is banking on tn
future, and in the nature of thine
there must come a slump, If not

have been before Congress during the
last two sessions than Jonn c. SpOoner,
OF Wisconsin. There are few men in
public life today who have displayed
such constructive statesmanship and
such profound knowledge of American
constitutional law. In the contro-
versies over the isthmian canal route
and over the question OF Cuban reci-
procity and in the debates on the Phil
ippne question he has been foremost
among the leaders of his party in the
Senate. There is hardly an important
piece OF legislation which was passed
by the last Congress which does not

Senator snooner

From the New York Sun.
The Hon. Robert NJ Lafollette is in
control of the Republican party in
Wisconsin. of which State the Hon.
John Colt SPooner, likewise a Republi-
can, is a representative in the Federal
Senate. LafOllette is a species of Pin
gree. with larger relations to politics
and higher intellectual qualities. He
holds certain new and aggressive views
regarding the taxation of corporate
property and on nominations at pri-
maries instead of by conventions OF
delegates. The time to choose a sena-
tor for tho seat now held by Senator
SpOoner is approaching, and, bending
to general Republican hope that Sen
ator Spooner may be reelected the
Wisconsin Republican State Conven-
ton has endorsed that statesman, on
condition that the latter will declare
for the Iafollette platform.
The merits of the Lafollette schemes
we will not discuss. Suffice it to say
that they have no vital relation to the
deserts of Senator SpOoner for re-elec'
tion or to the partisan wisdom of keep
ing him in his present office.

Healing Power OF Kings

From the London Chronicle.
Till the reign of Queen Anne, to
whom was brought the future DR.. John
son. the predecessors Of King Edward
VII were credited with the healing
touch. The present sovereign has de-
Nised surer method of relieving the
pains and distress of his subjects by
leading the way in the support of our
hospitals. The tradition may be traced
TO Edward the Confessor who during
life was said TO have possessed the
miraculous power of curing diseases,
Especially ulcers, among the beggars,
who. as may be seen at the doors OF
Continental cathedrals today, hung
around his palace hard by the abbey
he had just built. Even after death
curative power clung to his coffin; and
he diseased were, therefore, allowed to
crouch and pray beside his shrine. So
runs the ancient story. It's modern
rendering may De seen today as an al
legory, and with all the miraculous eff
fcacy of the past multiplied, If by our
aims we will have il so. Westminster

A ruNpANENrAn rnINcIpnn

There are a few points upon which
politicians are expected to agree, but
there should be fundamentals upon
which all good citizens should agree.
For while we are all to a greater or
less degree politicians. yet the govern
ment of our county and State comes
first After awhile we shall have
nominated our candidates, erected our
platforms and then our thoughts, de-
spite our protests to the contrary, will
be fixed largely upon party success.
This, then, is the proper time to
think of fundamental principles. since
we need not now be bothered with the
claims Of candidates, but only with
the decision of the principles which
should actuate us in their selection.
Therefore, Il will not be amiss TO dis
cuss ideas, which are applicable TO ala
parties.
The fundamental principle in the
conduct OF all human affairs is that
responsible men shall be placed IN con-
troll. When men are named as
candidates for office we look for
ward TO the time when they shall Oh
those offices. We may write platforms
TIL doomsday. but our efforts will b'
in vain unless there are strong, homes
men to make them realities. We sa,
without fear OF contradiction, that Va
do not always send to Dover to max
our laws the best class OF men
We have not always electe
to our Levy Court and to Coun
ell men OF sufficient characte
and business ability TO give us prope
service We want to create the ide
THAT ony the best men viii be toleI
ated as candidates for Office, and the
the best men will not feel that the
are demeaning themselves by accept
ing. To go to the Legislature shoul
not be regarded as beneath the dignit
of our most distinguished citizens.
Our candidates should be honest an
clean. but this is not enough. Whe
man is chosen to fiji q position
business life. his ability to hr that Pc
sition is the first consideration. A ma
doesn't deserve credit or reward for b.
ing honest; that should be taken f
granted but we do not put him in
responsible position tin he has demo-
trated his capacity. Frequently me
are nominated to office because tn
are regarded as nice fellows OF pc
sonaliy popular, when they have n
the first quality emitting them to [

is that we elect men to the Legis,atu
who have neither honesty nor capaci
and whom we would not trust in o

Fire claimants who hold certificates
of award will not be able to exchange
them for warrants until the govern
ment has money on hand with which to
pay them This decision was reached
yesterday morning at a conference be-
tween Governor Dole, Treasurer
Wright and representatives from the
banking institutions Of the city. There
were present W. G. Irwin of Spreckels

Hawaii, F. Z. Damon of Bishop & Co..
W. o. Smith of the Planters Associa-
ton, Cecil Brown of the First National
Bank, and NJ. Saito. Japanese Consul
None of the banks are willing to take
up the warrants If they were issued,
chiefly because OF the many unsettled
legal questions involved, and Consul
Saito was not willing that his people
should discount their warrants, pre-
ferring to rely upon the representa-
tions to be made at Washington by
Japan.
1t is not known exactly when the
warrants can De ISSUED, thouSN SAi Oh
signed and ready for delivery The
government has about $4,000 due from
the United States for interest paid on
bonds, and when this amount is re-
ceived probably a pro rata payment
will be made upon the first 100000 in
starlment. Aside from that it will not
be possible to provide for further pay
ment until Congress meets again apd
makes the required appropriation or
authorizes the Territory to issue bonds.
Both the financial men, the Consul
and government officials were of the
opinion that to send out the warrants
at this time to be hawked about to the
highest bidder would be unwise and an
injury to the credit OF the Territory.
