blow holes in it and he will be COM
pelled to take back seat. The real
leaders in the next session of the
Senate will be Culberson and Bailey,
of Texas; Carmack, of Tennessee;
Patterson, of Colorado; and Money,
of Mississippi. There is no better
equipped man in the Senate than
Culberson. lie is essentially a lawyer
and it is the questions of the law
and the Constitution that he prefers
but he is perfectly at home in a tariff
debate. This is bis first experience
as a legislator, and he has not been
as ready to jump into the arena OF
debate as has his distinguished and
brilliant colleague, Mr.. Bailey, who
had ten years. experience in the
House before he came to the Senate.
Senator Culberson's past experince in
public life has been confined to the
executive department of govern
mental affairs as the Attorney-Gen-
eral Of Texas and Governor of the
same state,
He was twice nominated and
elected Attorney and twice
nominated and elected Governor, and
elected without opposition to the
United States Senate as a tribute to
his bril- liant record in the former Of,
fees he had held, AS Attorney-Gen-
eral Of his state he defended the
state in suit before the United
States Supreme court, involving the
validity to the title to Greer county,
Texas, and his speech in the case
before the Supremes Court was So
brilliant that it called forth the en-
comiums Of the most distinguished
men Of the bar in the country.
Chief Justice Fuller told Col. D. B.
Culberson, the father Of the brilliant
young Attorney General that it was
the finest argument he had ever lis
tened to in all his experience at the
ar, and praise from ''Sir Hubert
The progress-advertiser. (Lexington, Miss.) 1902-1903, 1903-09-17

was praise indeed. His two terms
as Governor of Texas reached the
high water mark of craftsmanship
and unanimous election to the Senate
was a foregone conclusion. He is
easily the leader of his state, a state
of strong and virile men and can stay
in the Senate as long as he desires,
and with little or no opposition.
His colleague Mr. Bailey easily takes
rank as one of the best debaters in
the entire Congress of the nation.
His speciality is the tariff, having
been on the Ways and Means Com
mittee of the House, for ten years
and in defending constitutional points.
His brilliant fight in the Senate dur
the long session Of the lastsCongress
to compel the President of the Senate
to restore the names of Senators
Tillman and McLaurin of South Caro-
lima to the rolls of the Senate, from
which they had been stricken after
their fist fight on the floor of the SEN
ate, was the finest personal triumph
ever seen in the Senate, and was so
designated by Senator Foraker one of
his chief and one of his ablest oppo-
nents. Look out for these two young
giants in the next Congress.

Special Correspondence OF The Prog
ress-Advertiser. Washington, D. e.,
September 9th, 1903.
The intention Of the republicans to
force the rubber and dark-lantern
currency" issue in the Senate next
winter is going to precipitate the
warmest tariff debate that has been
heard in the halls Of the Congress
since the days of the Mills bill, back
in 1888. The republican leaders In
the Senate are going to have their
matches in that body when the debate
is opened and they will come from the
younger element in that body. Of
all the young Murats Of debate in the
Senate the state Of Texas stands at
the head as the best equipped state
In the Union in that regard. 1t is
undoubtly, from the standpoint of
democracy, the ablest represented
state in the entire country in the
persons Of the Hon. Charles A. Cul-
berson and the Hon. Joseph W. Bailey.
They are both under forty-fve years
Of age, and have. achieved notable
distinction in the political arena,
Both have had remarkable careers.
They have attained their present po-
sitions through the sheer force OF
intellect and exquisite fitness for the
position, and not through the power
Of money, as have the majority Of the
men on the republican side OF the
Senate, Those two men will take
commanding positions in the G. ming
debate for the reasons that their
democracy is on straight and they
have the brains to back up their rep
utations as democrats, The so-called
leader OF the Senate, Mr.. German, will
not shine in this debate, for the very
good reason that his tariff coat has
rents and holes in it that will be
plainly visible to the naked eye when
such men IS Aldrich and Spooner get

HAWAII AND PHILIPPINES
COMPARED AS TO TRADE

The San Francisco Chronicle calls
Islands which practically cost nothing
to govern, purchased $1O,0OO,OO0 worth
of merchandise from the United States,
the first eleven months of the fiscal
year. while the Philippines which in
volve an expenditure of $lOO,OOO,0 600 an
nually, during the same period took
$4,000, 900 of American products.
The reason for this is very evident.
Americans and American capital have
been permitted to exploit the Hawai-
ian Islands. The Archipelago is under
the same customs laws as the home
country. The same rights and privi-
ieges of industry and commerce apply.
The Philippines, with an area twenty
three times as large as the Hawaiian
Islands, with a more productive soil
and a comparatively large acreage sus-
ceptible of cultivation, have been and
are treated as a foreign country. The
treatment with reference to trade has
been such as would not have inspired
the friendship of even foreign coun-
try. In addition to the superiority of
the soil of the broad valleys of these
islands over that of Hawaii, are the
just claims of untold mineral and for
est wealth. The area of the Hawaiian
group is but little more than 5000
square miles. Under a sensible and
lust system o" laws-statutes that will
permit the development of these ISL
ands and furnish market for their
products-eVery 5000 miles of territory
of this archipelago will require an
amount of American products, equal
to that now purchased by Hawaii.
1t is difficult to understand how the
present treatment of these islands can
continue much longer. Certainly evil
dence of the most convincing charac-
ter has been submitted to Congress.
No occasion has been neglected to i'm
The Hawaiian gazette., 1903-10-02

press the national lawmakers with the
Importance of the reduction of the ex-
listing tariff and other necessary legis-
lation.
The Republican party, with it's safe
majority in Congress would do we'll to
consider the Importance of the issues
AFFECTING the Philippines. Things may
drift along smoothly while times are
so generally prosperous in the United
States, but there is no guarantee
against widespread depressions. The
farmers and the great Independent
class of voters are not studying politi-
cal questions at the present time, but
they will when times get dull and then
some annoying questions will be ask
ed. One of them will be, Why do the
people of the United States want to
hold onto the Philippine islands, if it
is necessary to expend 100000 900 a
year to do so while the archipelago
does not purchase American products
or benefit any American outside Of
those holding office under the insular
government?
The farmers of Indiana and Illinois
may be pleased for few years to lis
ten to the benevolent assimilation"
idea, but for it's own sweet sake, this
sentiment may not survive a decade.
The present attitude of Congress is
not only poor business but the very
worst kind of politics. The substantiar
interests of the FHipinos demand that
the archipelago be exploited. Let cap
ital come to the islands that will help
along with the burden of taxation.
The American population of these ISL
ands is practically exempt from taxa
ton at the present time, from the rea-
son that they are in the employ of the
government.
The treatment of the Philippines, so,
far, by Congress has not been to the
advantage of Americans or Filipinos
either.-Manila Times.

livery according to the Original plan
as cited now in his latest message.
This plan was to issue the bonds in
series of $50, 500 and $50 thousand-dol-
lar bonds at graduated intervals as
therein stated, no doubt with a view to
saving interest on money that would
be lying idle until the Government
could use 1t were the bonds all sold
and delivered at one date.

lie Works, when shown Mr.. Carter's
latest cablegram made a remark TO
the effect that there was no occasion
for Mr.. Carter's disposing of all of the
bonds in New York since they were.
meeting with such gratifying accept
ance in Honolulu. He stated 20 an
Advertiser reporter who was present ct
his meeting with the Treasurer that,
following the aggregate offers of con-
tractors for s35O,00 of bonds in pay
ment on contracts for public works. he
had that day received an offer from a
materialman to supply Government
contractors with all the material re-
quired to the value of $4,000 and take
the Territorial five-per cents in pay
ment therefor.
There is thus already 100000 of the
bondS disposed of, to all intents and
purposes, right at home. This leaves
only part" for Mr.. Carter to sell in
New York and that part 100000 less
than the amount for which his author
ization has been forwarded, to keep
within the limit of one million dollars
provided in the original PLAN to be
issued.
OF course Mr.. Carter cannot be eX-
pected to know anything about the.
advance disposal of bonds at home un-
til some one at this end of the line
sends him the information.

MORE MISUNDERSTANDING
OVER THE LOAN MATTER

Original Plan Had Been Changed.
Bond Sales Probably Explains.

Yesterday brought about a fresh mis-
understanding between George r. Car
ter, Secretary of the Territory, and A.
n. Kepoikai, Treasurer, over the Terri
torial loan. At least the Treasurer
cannot understand the Secretary and,
after pondering over the following
cablegram nearly all day, concluded in
the evening to leave Mr.. Carter to his
own devices for selling the bonds in
New York:
Washington, Sept 20.
ITO Kepoikai, Honolulu.

terest accordingly?
CARTER"
Mr.. Kepoikai says that whatever
change might have been involved by
his cablegram of Monday was intended
to conform with Mr. Carters own ur-
gent message of the same day. He
declares he will not reply to yester
days cablegram from the Secretary.
AS printed in yesterdays Advertiser,
Mr.. Carter asked Mr.. Kepoikai to NAL
to New York his authorization, ap-
proved by the Governor, for Mr.. Car
ter to sell there, "as a whole or in
part, the bond issue" etc. The reply
of the Treasurer advised the Secretary
that letter of authorization as re-
quested would go forward by next
days. yesterdays, mail ito sell bonds
for s75O.OOO."
1t would appear from Mr.. Carters
cablegram of yesterday that in the
phrase of his previous message, "as a
whole or in part" he meant the alter
native part" not to limit him in con-
tracts for sales of the bonds but only
with reference to the times of their de-

prize. He advocated S5OOO structure.
1t was figured that 25,OOO,OOO people
would go through the fair grounds and
it would be a depot for the distribution
of literature on the Islands.
He suggested to the Association to
take the place Carter has recommended.
He thought the $4,000 could be taken
out of the $4,000. There We're to be
no junketing trips, no champagne sup
pers, etc. He knew that Mr. irwin
had to figure close on his appropria-
ton He felt that n building such as
Mr.. Carter suggested was the best
policy. The officials would not permit
the distribution of literature in the big
buildings, and this could be done in the
Hawaiian building. Mr.. MaCfarlane
said he had secured Mr.. Thompson of
