DELAGoA BAY.
4 Bat of History That IL Interesting
at This Time because of tho
Trarsvaal War.

Delagoa bay was discovered by
Nasco de Cana N 1869, and explored
40 years later by Portuguese officer
named Capt. Lorenzo NaFquez, Unit
the beginning 81 the present century
Portug4l exercised more or less nom
inal Sovereignty over the bay as well
as over the entire coast line of Africa,
but had completely abandoned its
posts and trading stations on the east
coast when in 1929 Capt. Cunl!ffe-
Owen, of the royal navy, obtained
from native chiefs cession of Della
goa bay to Great Britain. England
founded town on the bay, to which
was given the name OF bombay, and
in 1867 Portugal refunded immediate
~ opposite the town of Lorenzo Mar
quez, on the ruins of the old-timc
trading station of that name, In 1860
the Portuguese concluded u CONNER
cal treaty with the South African re-
public, and this brought to an acute
stage the dispute as, To the ownership
OF Delagoa bay. The question was re-
ferred to the arbitration OF the pres-
dent of the French republic, the Eng
fish resting their case on the conces-
sions obtained by Capt. Cunliffe-owen.
In 1876 Marshal MacMahon, then chief
magistrate of France, gave an award
i'll favor of Portugal, which was loyal
ly accepted by England, AN agreement,
however, being concluded between the
two nations, according to which Eng
land secured from Portugal prefer
entail right to all of her territory
south of the Zamhesi, that Is TO say
including Delagoa bay.
For n time one heard but little of
Delagoa bay, and then the place was
once more brought on the tapis by
the conflict which arose in connection
with the railroad, now running from
Lorenzo Marquee to Pretoria. The
Transvaal portion of the line was built
by German capitalists, while the 10
miles of Portuguese territory were
constructed by an American conces-
sionaire, Col. McMurdo, with the help
OF English capital. Before the line
had been opened very long Col, Nc
Murdo suddenly died, and the Portu-

the ground that the McMurdo com

Under the other administrations
there were no material changes in
either the actual or the comparative
figures.
If the proportion of the $4,000 army
be taken to the nations population,
as determined by the census of 1900,
taken but twenty months later, it will
be seen that Mr.. Mckinley, at the out
break of the war with Spain, had the
smallest regular army in proportion to
the population in the history of the
country, representing only 81 soldiers
for each 10000 inhabitants. This was
the army which Congress increased to
the present. which, as held at its mini
mum by Mr.. Roosevelt's order, repre-
sents about 7.6 soldiers for each 10000
people 1t will be observed from the
foregoing that this proportion is about
the same as that of the administrations
of Washington and Adams and that of
Van Buren,, when the army was 10000
men and that when the $4,000 army
was first established as the proper
basis under Grant. 1t is proportionate-
~ larger than that of Polk or Jack
son, but smaller than that of Jefferson
or Madison. and we'll within the aver
age of that supported by the Demo-
cratic administrations of the past.
We believe that the anti-defensive
plank in the, Democratic platform is
sop to socialism akin to the anti-gov-
eminent by-injunction plank of eight
years ago, and that as such, it will
help to ALLEVIATE the votes which Parker
was named to win. The American peo-
pie believe in having an army large
enough to defend our possessions and
a navy second to none in the world.

Mark Twain tells an Interesting story
in connection with the late Charles
Darwin. He was informed by a friend
who was visiting the eminent scientist,
that he had noticed a copy of 1.-The
Innocents Abroad lying On the great
mans table. Darwin requested him on
no account to disturb the book. as it
was his practice to read it night and
morning. On the appearance of Oar
wins biography, Mark Twain hasten
ed to purchase a copy in order to ascer-
tain what reference to himself it
might contain. There was, however,
no mention whatever of his name, the
only possible allusion to him being the
statement that Darwin in his old age
suffered from some kind of brain
paralysis which prevented him from
following his ordinary mental pursuits,
and compelled him to solace himself
with trashy novels and vacuous
humor.''

business only, the Maui people are re-
ceiving him with bombs, music and
luaus This is a survival of the meth
DDS employed in the old days to honor
the King. It would surprise our Ha-
waiian friends to see Governor Of
California or Ohio or of Virginia or
New York going about with no other
attention than any well-bred gentle
man expects and without public cere-
mony. That is the American way, but
we cannot have it here while those who
took part in the old royal pageants still
live. Governor Carter. though far more
anxious to inspect roads and bridges
than to sit at luaus. must put in a
good share of his time losing sleep and

ANrl.pEEENslYE PLANK.

Having declared for "a reduction OF
army and navy expenditure TO point
historically demonstrated 10 be safe
and sufficient the Democracy exposes
itself to serious criticism. The United
states has the smallest army now OF
any great power and is barely keeping
up with Germany as a naval state;
and unless the Democracy proposes to
leave il defenceIess in the midst of
possible enemies, its declaration for
diminished safeguards must be set
down as sheer demagogy verging on
something worse.
Rutherford Corbin. in Harper's Week
". turns the light on the facts "histo-
really demonstrated" in the following
terms:
The army of today is. accordingly,
a patchwork of the views of twenty
three Presidents as TO what was a safe
and sufficient size, for in this, as IN
no other province of legislation, has
the recommendation of the Presidents
to Congress been followed. And. by
the way, it is interesting to note thar
of the twenty-three Presidents sixteen
had seen military service. Under eight
Presidents the army, as left by WASH
ington, has been increased: five OF
them were elected to office by the pres
ent Democratic party or its forerunner,
and two of them were Thomas Jeffer-
son and Andrew Jackson. Under no
Democratic administration has it ever
been reduced, except under that OF
Monroe after he had been elected 10
office by the votes of all his country
men. regardless of their party affilia-
lions, and under Polk, when. although
a new regiment was added, the total
was slightly reduced. The other three
administrations which were in Office
during the reductions were those OF
Johnson, Grant and Roosevelt.
Furthermore, if we should simply
take population as basis and forbear
references to the military-p political Sit

that the Presidential administrations

A plague of mosquitoes has become
SO serious on the Sabine and East
Texas division on the Texas and New
Orleans Railway, that the line from
Beaumont to Sabine has been shut
down for the present. Section men on
the lower part of the line for some

though they incased their heads in
wells and wore gloves. Local officials
and station agents have moved their
families to Beaumont in order to es-

THE NORTHERN CAMPAIGN.

One of the two most interesting
questions of the war. is where the
northern japanese army will stop. Its
leaders are too astute to be lured on,
far from their base, in a region to
which the enemy's railroad is all the
time bringing hostile re-enforcenients.
Will the Japanese stop at Mukden, for
tifying the passes beyond and har-
raising the enemy with small raids, or
will they feel secure in looking for a
more northward base? Mukden was
the limit of their northern occupation
in 1895. Yet to round out this cam
paign scientifically they need Hardin.

of the main Manchurian railway line
with the Vladivostok division. Possess

snap their fingers at Russia-if well
intrenched-and cut off vladivostok
from its source of supplies.
But 800 miles north of Mukden means
$50 miles from Dalny and 1,15o miles
from Nagasaki-a long way from ones
base, though a short enough distance
as compared to that of the Russians
from their principal depots of supply.

il,slGRATloN AND SETTLEMENT.

The Republican Territorial Conyen-
ton at HiIo grasped the situation IN
Hawaii, which has been fully explored
in the columns of the Advertiser, when
it INCORPORATED into the local platform
a strong resolution in favor of the ap-
plication of suitable parts of the public

if faithfully and theoretically pursued,
win do more to advance our solid in
terests and to introduce population
fitted for seIf-government than all the
sporadic efforts that are contemplatea
in other directions. The Hawaiian
future. in it's internal aspects, is in
extricably bound up with agriculture
and horticulture.
The lengthy visit of Governor Carter,
accompanied by Land Commissioner
Pratt and Forester Hosmer, to the Is
land of Maui, is an opportunity for the
careful observation of facts that will
doubtless be improved. It is gratify-
ing to know that the tour is in the
interest. not of paternalism, but of
Asnericanisn When the present EN-
peror of Germany assembled the throne,
he made royal progresses" through
his dorninions. during which. treating
himself as the father of his people by
.Divine Right" he showed most
gracious and concffiatory spirit and a
sincere desire for individual and ma
tional elevation. This was the an
4itheses of Americahism. as illustrated,
among other things, by the tours OF
President Mckinley and President
Roosevelt. which were designed for
and had the effect of bringing the ma
tional administration into direct touch
with the masses. Governor Carter has
taken strong ground in favor of the
American conception of government,
and seeks. without reference to party,
not merely personal contact with his
constituents, especially including the
natives, but to investigate actual con-
dftions and aid in the development OF
our diversified resources and in enlarg-
ing the body of Industrious and wealth
producing citizens.
These are purposes that will attract
public approval. No more important
matter is before the Territorial govern
nent than the adoption and the steady
application of policy that will pro-
mote small farming. The Governor
and his associates. both of whom are
necessarily specialists in their CO.
originating spheres of action, will be
enabled to inspect the opportunities for
horticulture and agriculture.
These matters are .'up to- the Gov
ernor and his coadjutors in the adj
rninistration, and IT may be reasonably
anticipated that definite conclusions
reached in Maui will have their infiu-
ence on the land treatment accorded
to other parts of the territory. The
pledge of the Republican Convention
VIII undoubtedly be kept
