THE KAlSER's BIRTHDAY.

The birthday observance of the EN-
peror of Germany is tinged with
anxiety lest he may never have an
other. Wherever Germans live the day
will be observed, but mingled with the
accIarnations to the Kaiser's name VIII
be prayers for his recovery What his
exact state Of health is has not been
given TO the world, but the appearance
of throat disease in the son of the En-
peror Frederick, who died of malign
growth within the larynx, and in the
son of the English Princess who also
died OF cancer awakes gloomy fore
bodings.
The passing of the Emperor would
be a dire misfortune to Germany,
which has found in him its most re-
narkabIe sovereign since the death Of
the mighty Brandenberger, Frederick
the Great. He has now reached the
perfect ripeness not only of his mental
powers but of his policy. He has made
himself indispensable to the develop
rnent of Germany and while he might
bequeath his young son vast response
bilities he could not bequeath the pow
er to deal with them. Nor is there any
Bismarck visible upon whose strong
shoulders the administrative burden
could temporarily rest. Should VIII
liam II die, there would be some years
to follow Of caution and waiting; an
arrest in the orderly progress of great
German policies; a possibility of dam
gerous growth in the ranks of the
Socialists Should he live, Germany
ought to become SO powerful as to be.
like Great Britain and the United
States, beyond the need of alliances.
In the hope all Germans feel that
the Emperor will recover, Americans as
a people will share. Despite minor
causes of friction they admire him as
a statesman and are not inclined to
discredit him as a friend. He is an
Anglo Saxon sovereign in very special
sense; and wherever Anglo Saxon pride |
of race is felt, tribute of good will is |
due a monarch who not Only shares it |
but gives it more ground to stand on. |

A BANKRUPT WORLD.

The financial condition of the world
we live in is very bad. The principal
countries, including the best colonies,
are in the kind of a position which
means eventual bankruptcy when APP
piled to the affairs of an individual or
corporation. For example, the total
revenue of the countries referred to is
set down at 81, S54, 301 900 and the total
expenditure at 1888, $40, 900. That is To
say the world is living beyond it's means
at the rate OF SIS. 900 per year. At
the same time it's Indebtedness, which,
presumably, is to be met out of sinking
funds. is $35, 900, 600, 900, the interest on
which is nearly million and half per
annun. Twelve billions of dollars rep
resent the combined stocks of money
of which but 1856, eOO,0 900 is gold and
nearly $1,000. 000.OO0 is uncovered paper.
When a man lives beyond his capacity
to pay and is in debt nearly four times
the amount of good money he possesses,
in reserve, the question of his downfall
is only Ole of time. He may stave off
creditors awhile but the end is ruin.
In the case of the world, the adoption
OF a scheme of universal reputation
of public debts, wiping the slate clean
and beginning again, is one which
economic writer's have long foreseen.

GERMANS In AFRICA.

The Germans in Southwestern Africa
are having precisely the same expe-
rience with the wild negroes that the
American pioneers had with the wild
Indians. Terrible outrages,' gen
eraI nassacres" and ''reigns of terror
are phrases that were familiar TO
Americans who read frontier news, IN
til within few years past. From the
time of the settlements of Plymouth
and Jamestown, to the capture Of Ge-
ronimo. which marked the elimination
of the Indian trouble in America, over
200 years elapsed; and in the last sew
enty years of active hostilities the
army had over 500 Indian fights. to say
nothing of those had by settlers
These statistics are not encouraging
to the Germans who have, in the ne
groes, a vastly greater problem than
we once had in the Indians. It has
been figured out from the amount of
land needed to maintain an Indian who
lived chiefly by the chase, that there
were not more than 100000 savages on
the continent at the time of the revo-
lutionary war. But the wild negroes
Of Central and South Africa are be-
lieved to number fifty millions. Judg-
ing from those who have harassed the
British and Beers in turn, the Zulus.
Swazis and others, these black men

traits and prowess. They can be dealt
with. as the history of the Cape and
the Transvaa1 has proved, but there
must be plenty of men for the purpose
and where the lions skin falls short"
as RlcheIieu says in the play, eve
must exc it out with the fox's.'' I
Undoubtedly the Germans will be
equal to the task before them unless
the climate leagues with the blacks
against the white men as is said to be
the case the nearer one gets to the
heart of the dark continent. 1t was
the good fortune of those who wrested
North America from the Indians to
have the climate to which their race
was accustomed; otherwise North
America might be today like Brazil in
the ratio of it's white population to the
area, of soil. Where the Germans are
having their present trouble, the eli
mate is similar to that of Southern
Brazil and Paraguay and on the same
parallels as northern Australia, and the
mortality from disease is very great.

not be SO very long, as silver is
steadily rising in price.
We are selling at the old price

Hswa1l's Import Trade.

The San Francisco Finance and
Trade. says:
Values of produce and merchandise
exports from San Francisco to Hawaii
for the month of December, 1903, were
$990,70S and for the year ending De-
cember 81, were $1O,676, 535.
The value of similar exports for 1902
to the same destinations with the ex-
ception of the Hawaiian Islands, for
which the compilation is only for the
eight months of thai year, is, $4S, 175, 42S.
Adding fair estimate for the four
omitted months in the island trade, the
total to all sources in 1902 would be
So, 0S5,4 2S. Grouping the several sourc-
es of demand the comparison is as
follows:

Labor is undertaking, in New zea-
land and Australia, to show how well
it can do without capital, and the re-
suit is hard times. Since the labor
party got the upper hand in the south
ern countries. capital has been so hedg-
ed about with restrictions and burdened
with so many fines that it is contracting
it's business instead of branching out.
AS a result the ranks of the unem-
ployed steadily grow. Labor, of course,
seeks a remedy in further legislation
but the only possible cure is a conces-
sion of the natural right of capital to
run it's own affairs in its own way,
employing whom it pleases and at
wages governed by the state of the
market, labor reserving the right to
work or not, as it pleases, ct the pre-
vailing wage.

Lieut.. Commander Pond retains his
interest in Pearl Harbor and is doing
effective work among high officials to-
wards having a naval station built
there. Unfortunately nothing can be
done this winter to get an appropriation
for cutting through the projecting splits
of coral which make the channel of the
harbor tortuous. There will be no
River and Harbor bill at this session
so Pearl Harbor must wait Whether
the latter viii get the money it needs
at the next session will depend largely
upon the Hawaiian delegate and the
active influence of naval men like
