HAWAII -IS A SUGAR PRODUCER.
The desperate straits ot the oppo
nents of Hawaiian annexation are re
vealed by their plea that the beet
sugar industry of the United States
will be ruined or injured if Hawaiian
cane sugar come in free. As a mat
ter of fact, most of it has been ad
mitted free for years under treaty of
reciprocity. In 189G we imported
free of duty from Hawaii 052,175,
269 pounds of cane sugar, and not a
pound of dutiable sugar. The great
est quantity of dutiable sugar im
ported from Hawaii during the last
six years was 1,848,000 pounds in
1894, against 324,720,584 pounds
ftee of duty in the same year. But
our product of beet sugar, which
was no more ttian 1,078,200 pounds
in 1883, had risen to 00,000,000
pounds in 1890. The free importa
tion of Hawaiian sugar had not yet
retarded the growth of our beet
sugar industry.
But it is said that the treaty by
which Hawaiian sugar conies in free
may be repealed, whereas if annexa
tion come the Hawaiian output will
forever be free. Suppose it be so.
The estimated consumption of sugar
by the people of the United States
for the year 1898 is 2,484,000 tons of
2,000 pounds each. Our domestic
production of cane and beet sugar
never has exceeded 400,000 tons.
Our imports of sugar were 1.572,438
tons in 1895, and were in excess of
that in 1 890. The total product of
Hawaii is about 205,000 tons. So
that if Hawaii be regarded as part of
tiie United Slates our sugar account
will Etand thus:
TONS.
Amt produced states ol union 400,000
Amt produced territory of Hawaii .200,000
Total COO.OOO
Amt. needed for home use 2,484,000
Deduct home product 000,000
Deficit of home supply 1,884,000
iso long as we are nearly 2,000,000
tons short of supplying the demand
of the home market, the beet sugar
grower has no cause for alarm.
Again, it is said that the cheap
labor of Hawaii will work against the
interest of the sugar grower of the
United States. The answer to this
is that the labor rate of Hawaii can
not be lower under annexation than
it now is, and than it has been for
some years. Yet, as wc have seen,
the home industry, especially in beet
sugar, has grown wonderfully during
the years in which the Hawaiian pro
duct has come in free. Furthermore,
the tendency of annexation will be
to raise the price of Libor in Hawaii.
For, by virtue of annexation, the im
mense importation of Asiatic labor
to Hawaii will be checked.
The Virginia house has passed a
bill making railroad corporations re
sponsible for injury or death to an
employe by accident, whether the
accident be due to a fellow-servant's
carelessness or not. Just why rail
roads and no other class Idl ing work
ingmer should thus be taxed it is
difficult to see. It shows that a bad,
socialistic spirit is abroad in the
land. If the railways arc enemies of
society, abolish them and go back to
road wagons. Would that suit old
Virginia?
The old " MO.ers" in their snug
cabins in "the glorious climate of
California" have fonder memories to

the memory of the thermometer fifty

Tito town of Holguin, in Fastcrn
Cuba, reported captured by the in
surgents, had a population of 0,000
before tliu war. It is safe to allow a
large reduction in the present num

A Herman professor, Knrl Oroos, has
written a book on the "plays" of ani
mals, in which he undertakes to show
that the desire to indulge, in play is ti
true instinct amonp the lower crea
tures. As in .man. the tendency to play
is stronger in young animals. Prof.
(Irons divides animal sort; inton num
ber of classes. Among t.hemare: "Play
hunting," in which the prey is some
times such as the animal naturally
chases, and sometimes a "moke-believe:"
"play-fighting," "building-play,"
"nursing-play," "plays of imitation"
and others.
J. M. Thirswend, of Urosbeck, Texas,
says that when he has a spell of indi
gestion, and feels bad and sluggish, he
takes two of DeWitt'a Little Early Ris

morning. Many thousands of others do
the same thing. Do you? Snipes
