SWAPPING PARTY THEORIES

The change Of political theories with
the times is frequently brought to
notice by leading events in history.
The Democratic party was the origin
al expansionist of the country, bitterly
assailed by the Wings, from whose
ranks the present Republican party
Of expansion drew its forces.
The recent affair at Panama fur
nished the occasion for the Galveston
(Texas) News to dfraw on history for
q few comparisons which bring home
the fact that political parties are not
held to hard and fast principles I'M
changed by the course Of events. Dur
ing the nine months that Polk was an
nexing Texas, says the Galveston News,
the Wings bitterly denounced him.
The turning point of abuse was his
use Of the army and navy to keep of
Mexico from assailing Texas, as Roose-
welt is now using 1t, without consent
of Congress, to keep off Colombia from
attacking Panama.
The two parties have snapped the
cries OF the constitution and ex-
changed sides. The Democrats are now
in the rear observation car of the on
ward train, apply air brakes, while
the Republicans are on the engine
shoveling Goals into the furnace, in
creaslng steam pressure and speed.
Polk occupied with the army the part
OF Texas between the Nueces and the
Rio Grande. Mexico wanted him to
depart from what Mexico claimed as
hers; he refused because the place be-
longed to Texas. The Wings foamed
with rage; q accommodating party OF
ours was attacked by Mexicans al
Point Isabel, and war existed by act
OF Mexico"
The News closed its comparison with
the query viii war with Colombia In
like manner come by act of Colon
tia'?" Fortunately for the welfare OF
our, country and Colombia war did moi
come "by act Of Colombia" or any
other nation, which suggests that al

along II she can be made ready. The
cruiser Olympia and the new cruiser
Cleveland will accompany the battle
ships, as will the Des Moines and the
Denver, II they be finished In time.
The fleet will be In command Of
Rear-Admiral Barker. The four cruis-
ers will be left behind when the bat
tleships start home, and will constitute
the European squadron, with Rear
Admiral Coghlan in command, with the
Olympia as his flagship.
The battleships will try to beat, the
record recently made by Rear Admiral
Evans on his practice cruise from the
Philippines to Hawaii, when his bat
tleships covered the distance at 12%
Knots an hour, and established new
naval record.
On his waS to Europe Admiral Bark
CT will meet the British North Atlantic
fleet, which will be sent racing across
the ocean in similar test of speed
and endurance. The British Admiral
ty has taken up Admiral Dewey's
scheme.

C0Hth'S BAND SCHEME

Now that the Worlds Fair exhibit
project has been dropped, the question
of how best to advertise Hawaii at the
least cost Is being discussed.
The proposition of the band touring
the States and playing at the St. Louis
Exposition as outlined by J. c. Cohen
is receiving favorable attention, par.
ticularly In view of the possibility OF
the band being cut out OF the appropri.
alton bill.
\ Mr.. Cohen's plan is to strengthen
the band to its best efficiency. add to
1t the finest quintet club that can be
had and, with Madame Slapoffski re-
christened and advertised as the Ha.
waiian prima donna, put forward as
the soloist of the band. With this
organization Mr.! Cohen believes the
Territory will have an attraction
which would carry the music.loving
people Of the States by storm. A pro.
gram could be given that would com.
bine all the elements of O first-class
concert company, military band, grand
opera, as well as the unique feature of
the quintet club and its quaint, mellow
and sweet Hawaiian airs.
The picture of the band, according
to Cohen's plan. Is to be reproduced
In large 2i-sheet colored posters, the
quintet club In l2-shas; posters and
the sololsts In 3.sheet posters. A man
in advance would bill the coming show
In way that viii draw the people.

Washington, March 2.-Plans were
completed today for putting the crack
ships Of the American navy through
an endurance test, such as no war
ships of any nation ever have been sub
jected to. The scheme is Admiral
Dewey's.
Immediately after target practice at
Pensacola Bay. about April 10, the bat
tleship squadron of the North Atlantic
fleet, with several cruisers, without be-
ing given any time for overhauling or
repairs in a navy-yard, will be rushed
across the Atlantic and into the Medi-
terranean at lively speed, They will
visit Trieste, villa Franche and Lis
bon, and will return early in August,
again racing across. They will. then
be drydocked and prepared for the
joint manoeuvres next winter.
The battleship squadron is composed
OF the Kearsarge, Alabama, Maine. Mis-
souri,, Massachusetts and Illinois. The
only ship that may not make the trip
IL the Massachusetts,. The Iowa, which
is undergoing repairs. will be sent

Under the surface is another reason
for sending the most powerful Amer
lean fleet that ever has crossed the
Atlantic into the Mediterranean at this
time. The European squadron re-
NAMED In Turkish waters SO long last
Summer, as result Of the Alexand-
retta incident, that the Sultan made
thu blunt request that It be recalled.
He complained that its presence en-
couraged the revolutionists.
The Sultan's request made President
Roosevelt exceedingly angry. He then
announced that the feet would be re-
called, but that much more powerful
fleet would be sent to take its place,
and that II Americans in Turkey were
subjected to any further indignities
the fleet would make its presence felt.
In sending the battleship squadron Mr..
Roosevelt is keeping his promise, and
will have the ships handy II there
should be war In the Balkans that
threatened to involve American inter-
ests.

VERMONT AND PROHIBITION.

Two years ago prohibition was over.
thrown In Vermont. Other prohibition
States and all the high license COM
munities decided that prohibition had
forever lost its hold IN the old-fash-
toned green mountain state and was
scheduled for final extinction. APP
pearances were in their favor at the
time. Vermont's ruling population is
Of the Gld-fashioned, church-going
class. 4 II such inroads could be made
upou the opinions OF this people tose-
cure a high license majority, 1t would
seem natural to conclude that the old
folN had experienced a complete
change OF mind that prohibition had
been tried and found wanting and
must hereafter be wiped off the slate
OF practical measures. 1Cheered by the
result in Vermont the license forces in
othar' prohibition States began their
campaign with renewed vigor.
The latest returns from Vermont,
however, indicate that the success OF
the high license forces is to be short
lived and 1t will not he surprising to
find the State returning to the prohi-

PORTO RICO AND HAWAII
FRElGHTS.
New York Commercially

New York Commercial
Those foreigners, free-tradres and
timid anti-progress Americans who are
fighting the passage of the two Frye
shipping bills in Congress are respect
fully invited to contemplate the record
made by legislation of that sort as ap-
piled to Porto Rico:
Prior to the extension of the United
States navigation laws to that island
the absolute protection of American
ships by excluding from the trade all
foreign tonnage-the carriage was
chiefly In foreign bottoms and for
reasons that 1t is needless here to ex-
plain. Last year Porto Rico bought
goods from us aggregating about SILL
100000 In value-a large increase from
the purchases of 1898 and from those
Of 1902 as well; and we took from the
sl0,500,000 All these shipments, both
ways, were in American vessels sail
ing under the Stars and Stripes.
We did business with Hawaii last
year to the extent of $37 ,000, 900 in the
value of imports and exports. Every
ton of that freight, both ways, was car
ried In American bottoms-and simply
because we wouldn't permit foreign
"tramps" to engage in the traffic.
Can there be any doubt that extend
ing the navigation laws of the United
States to the Philippines would bring
the same substantial results-increased
trafiice and the earnings of freights by
our own American. ship-owners There
has been no increase in freight rates,
as predicted, but on the contrary the
aroused competition between steam
and sailing craft has kept freights at
normal levels, and in the case Of Ha-
wall 1t has actually reduced them to
points considerably below where they
stood before the foreign vessels were
shut out.

Washington, March 23.-The State
Department has received formal notice
from the Chinese Government, de-
rouncing the Chinese Exclusion treaty,
SO this convention will expire Decem-
her % next. unless replaced by another
treaty by that date. Under its terms
six months before expiration of period
Ct ten years, from December p, 1894.
II either power be dissatisfied with
treaty 1t is required to denounce It.
This is the action which China has TAX
en- in spite of the strongest efforts to
the contrary on the party OF the State
Department. Had notice not been
served the treaty would have continued
In force for another ten years from
December %. 1904. The Department
pointed out to the Pekin authorities
through Mr.. Conger that 1t was prob
able that SO far from lettering condi-
tons relating to admission Of Chinese
into the United States, any new treaty
would fail of approval by the Senate.
Chinese would thus be exposed in the
absence OF a sheltering treaty to the
full rigor of the Geary and Meinz law,
and exclusion would be much more
complete than at present.

Cassidy was called to show that the

dence were not in good condition. He
had shown nothing in that direction
up to the noon hour, however, most of
his time being occupied with hypothet-
ical questions.
Godfrey Brown gave some entertain
ing facts.
| A new transmitter was being intro
duced very gradually in the present
telephone service. The Blake trans
mitter was being replaced by the solid
back transmitter. The latter was a
good long-distance attachment.
Within the last two or three years,
according to the testimony Of Brown,
some six or seven hundred OF the i'm
proved transmitters have replaced the
less serviceable attachments.
In about Is or 20 months" said
Brown, encouragingly, I'VE expect to
get all new transmitters In service.
I'VE have a standing order with a
Chicago firm to supply us with the

Gar Wants Germany
To Make Peace

Berlin, March 16.-According to re-
ports persistently circulating in court
and Ministerial circles here, Russia
has intrusted the Kaiser with the mis-
sion of stopping the war through per-
sonal mediation or international medi-
alton initiated by him. It is stated
that the idea appealed to him strongly
from the standpoint of advantage that
would accrue to Germany II she should
succeed in bringing hostilities to an
ED. Russia has convinced him, It Is
said, that the fatherland, being allied
to neither belligerent, could undertake
the project with q better prospect of
success than either England or France,
