HERE seems to be a normal and proper diplo- ‘Tmatxc teason for demanding that Li Hung Chang and Prince Ching shall offer to the for- | eign Ministers indisputable proof of their authority to |act for the Chinese Government. They present an | edict received by telegraph. After the negotiation is concluded, if its terms are not agreeable to the Gov- ernment, this telegram might be disavowed, and the whole question would have to be taken up again. It is daily more apparent that the peace of the world is in- | volved in this Chinese settlement. Many of the allies have views that are outside of their common cause against China. Every day’s delay in an adjustment increases the danger of disagreement between the al- lies themselves. Chinese policy, if directed toward the promotion of such isagreement, in the belief that China will benefit thercby, is a mistake. When dogs fight over a bone the bone gains nothing, for it is sure to be gnawed in the end. It is to be hoped, thercio that Chang and Ching will equip themselves with a proper warrant of authority. The matter of that au- thority, however, is not the first point to be settled. This is the agreement of the allies themselves upon negotiation. President McKinley's diplomacy has won, and the powers, with the exception of England, have instructed their Ministers to sign the agreement which was framed at Washington. The enlightened policy of the Presideat has discarded the element oi revenge. It stands for just such treatment 6f China as would be accorded to this country, or any European nation placed in the same unforturate condition. We do not see this method in a sufficient perspective to wholly appreciate its significance. When the affair is over, and the world can judge of a settlément on the seen that China has received the greatest impulse toward progress and reform that has been given in all her his tory. To preserve her seli-respect, her territorial in- tegrity, her institutions and Government by treating her as a member of the family of nations is to make her behave in the future as a member of that family should. The essence of the President’s policy is to retire to secondary place the theory of reprisal, punish the guilty, and recoup the Western nations for their losses | by commercial advantages which will open the way for trade far beyond the-present treaty ports. No nation bas a higher commercial instinct than China. The Chinese merchant, wherever located, is noted for his enterprise and his energy. To open his own country | more widely to the trade of the world is to broaden | his commercial opportunity.

This | does not at all involve the swarming of Chinese labor upon the other nations, but the enlargement of Chi- nese trade with them all 1a. If the nations proceed on the pacific understand- ing, China will be finally admitted to a share in the arbitration treaty which was framed in the Peace Con- ference at The Hague, and instead of continuing the practice of a merely defensive diplo ill share in that constructive and progress diplo- macy which that treaty is intended to establish by le ening the occasions for war. This country has acquired the respect of Europe by its guidance of this settlement, and public opinion | here should continue tc strongly back the administra- | tion. D mitted to the President a rep6rt containing tiiree salient features—first, a showing that the deficit in the department during the past year is less than that of the previous year by $1.225,008; second, that free rural delivery has proven of great benefit to the people and should be extended; third, that the loss to the Government by of second class | mails is so large that the suppression of those abuses would enable the department to extend rural mail de- livery to almost all parts of the Union. Such a report directs public attention once more to the issue of so reforming the postal laws as to pre- vent an abuse of the second mail privilege. That issue has been before the country so long and has been so generally discussed it is hardly necessary to go over the arguments concerning it. The one point to be noted is that the suppression of the abuses will at once provide the Government with a sum suffi- cient to extend the rural delivery system. v she 3 promoting THE POSTAL SERVICE. OSTMASTER GENERAL SMITH has sub- 5. abuses class | We have, therefore, to choose between losses on the one side and benefits on the other. It is no longer a question merely of putting an end to an evil, but also one of providing a far-reaching improvement not only in the postal service but in the conditions of rural life. The Postmaster General estimates that the net an- | nual cost of a complete rural free system | would be $13,772,000, and then says if “a class of pub- lications which now, under an evasion of the purposes of the law, pay the second class rate of postage, were ! really made to pay the third class rate, as they ought to do, it would bring an additional revenue to the | Government of $12,343,612. The cost to the Goverii- | ment of this abuse is zlmost exactly equivalent to the | estimated cost of broad national rural free delivery, land if it is a question between favoring a very limited nomber of publishers'and favoring twenty-one millions | of people who live on the farms of the United States, there ought to be no hesitation in serving the many | rather than the few.” i It is to be hoped the presentation of the issue in that way will have the effect of arousing public senti- ment. Congressman Loud has fought for years -to ! bring about a remedy for the defect in the law which permits such abuses to go on, but his efforts have been in vain. A powerful lobby is at work on the sida ‘ of those who profit by the abuse, and by one means or another every attempt at reform has been baifled, It is evident that a resolute demand will have to ba made by the people in order to get Congress to ict, and that demand should be made this winter. It is to be borne in mind the proposed reform will not in any way conflict with the interests of those who have a legitimate right to the second class privilege. As the Postmaster General says: “It is only sought to cut off the abuses which the law never contem- delivery plated and which have crept in through the ambiguity of its provisions or through doubtful interpretations that have opened a wide door for wrongful entries. It is aimed at the serial pape:-co\;cred books, at the private ‘house organs,’ at the spurious trade journals and sheets of an exclusive advertising character; at bulk distribution, which is falsely called subscription, and at the repeated turn and overturn by news agents of unsold periodicals.” That is now the issue before the people. It appears that great postal improvements are prevented by the toleration of the old abuses. Surely it is time for ths public to demand that the reform be provided at once. H in accepting the invitation of the Board oif Trade of Brunswick, Ga., to be present at the National Maritime Congress to be held there next month, says: “I heartily indorse the object ifor which this congress is called. The restoration of the merchant marine of the United States to its former prestige should enlist the earnest support of every pa- triotic American. Your own words are timely, ‘As the first ocean steamer was built at and sailed from a Georgian port, and the first shipyard in America was established at a Florida port, it is fitting that this Na- tional Maritime Congress should assemble at a South- ern port.”” g Hon. C. D. Ogg, secretary of the Brunswick Board of Trade, in his communication to the commercial bodies of San Francisco asking them to send represen- tatives, says: “Let us urge American ships for Amer- ican cargoes, hastening the time when American built ships will be sold abroad, as are now other American products which defy competition.” It is most fortunate that this progressive view is taken in the South. The opponents of the bill now WE SHOULD SELL SHIPS. ON. W. D. BLOXHAM, Governor of Florida, before Congress advocate the «purchase of foreign | built ships for American register as a means of secur- ing a merchant marine. But others, who are far- sighted, desire to give an impulse to American ship- building, primarily to supply American ships for American cargoes, and finally to build ships to sell | them to the world as we now manufacture and sell other articles in which we defy competition. There should not be any hesitation in choosing between the two policies. not buy them. The development of ship-building will follow the line along which our other industries have developed. We began producing for the home market and by wise protection have acquired such skill and such economy in production that we supply the lar- gest external market enjoyed by any nation. The Pa- cific Coast has an impressive interest in this issug. We need a large merchant fleet in the Pacific Ocean, and with proper encouragement can soon supply to Japan, China and Australia the ships needed in their trade, which we will finally be able to build cheaper and better than any competitor. San Francisco should send strong and intelligent delegates to the Brunswick eongress. Flhere occurred in all parts of the United States an immediate revival of industry and business. Public confidence established by that victory prompted the undertaking of enterprises in all lines of industrial and commercial development, and the nation went forward toward prosperity with some- thing of the rush of a river whose waters, long held by the snow and ice of winter, break forth in free- decm on the return of spring. The events of the past four years have justified that confidence. All kinds of enterp: s that were de- signed with prudence and managed with business tact and skill have proven profitable. people are now more confident than ever, and the re- A DANGEROUS TE."TD NCY. OLLOWING the election of McKinley in 180é election of McKinley has been again followed with | ar. outburst of commercial energy. The question is whether there may not be some danger of speculation resulting from the prevailing confidence. Certain tendencies noted in New York render it im- perative for financiers to consider that phase of the situation and beware lest they carry too far an activity over- which if wisely conducted will vastly increase pros- | perity, but if ill directed may bring ruin to thousands. One of the more notable of these dangerous ten- dencies is that of organizing new companies with an excessive capitalization. The New York Commer- cial in a recent review of the business of the country said: “The record of new companies having a capi- talization of $1,000,000 or over for November shows that the total capitalization amounted to $148,850,000, as compared with $108,350,000 for the preceding month. The total for the year up to December is $2,217,550,000. The records for the past month, however, do not indicate the real condition of the industrial movement, for there are many companies in process of formation which have not as yet filed their incorporation papers and of which there is of contse no official record.” Theére is nothing on the face of the statement to show that any of the new organizations and combi- nations of capital are bad in themselves, and it may be that no one of them merits condemnation. It s the endrmous aggregate that constitutes the danger. Most of the new companies—and probably all of them—will put more or less of their stock upon the market for sale to the general public, and thus there will be a strong incentive to speculation. Where the companies have been over capitalized the efforts of | the managers to make a showing of dividends as well as to pay interest will lead to risky methods of doing business, and as a result if any derangement occurs | in the great financial centers of the world, whether in this or in some foreign country, there will be grave danger of a collapse of many of the speculative or- ganizations, tending to produce a panic that in turn will injure legitimate enterprises. The menace is far greater for the Fast than for the Pacific Coast. There have been no signs of an ab- normal increase in the number of new companies nor of over capitalization on this side of the continent Unless the development of the oil industry in this State may be called a “boom,” there is nothing cor- responding to the condition of affairs that prevails in the East. The issue, therefore, is one we may study impartially, and it certainly merits such study from all who are largely interested in financial and indus- trial affairs. The local woman who shot her consort in the back a few days ago and has ambitions to be considered a “gun figh&er" possibly forgets that in most argu- ments-with guns the question of sex is not one which modifies the vigor of an opponent.

WILCOX. HE richest thing in the way of au-| tobiography that has happened this way for a long time is fur- nished through the Honolulu Ad- | vertiser of recent date. It is the | life of Delegate-elect Robert W. Wilcox, | as written by himself for the Congres- | sional directory. It is chiefly notable for | the childlike English of its composition | and the naivete with which the author throws posies at his political self. | After reciting the ordinary incidents of birth, education and first marriage, it con- | tinues: “In September, 1887, Wilcox and | his bride left Italy for Hawaii. They both | stayed in Horolulu till 1888, when they | moved to San Francisco, and Mrs. Wilcox | gave birth to a daughter, whom _they | named Vittoria Colonna Wilcox. While | they were there Mr. Wilcox worked as | one of the surveyors of the engineers of | the Spring Valley Water Works Com- pany, while Mrs. Wilcox gave lessons of French and Italian to yvoung ladies, mak- | ing the couple in better ecirumstances | than in Wilcox's native country.” | At this stage of the proceedings things | happened this way: | “But Wilcox is strong-headed to return | to Honolulu and overthrow what the peo- | ple of Hawaii called ‘the bayoneted con- | stitution and the reform government.’ So | in 1889 Mrs. Wilcox and their only beloved | daughter returned to Italy in the midst of | winter, while Mr. Wilcox returned to Honolulu as a determined revolutionist. “In the morning of July 31, 1889, Mr. | Wilcox led a body of native revolutionists | and succeeded in occupying the ground of | (now the “Tolani palace the executive | bullding), but the King's soldiers failed to join him in the movement, fs it was un- derstood before he made thé move. King Kalakaua changed his mind during the night through some one’s advice, so he gave a strict order to his bodyguard not to join with Wiicox, but to hold the pal- ace and the barracks. As Mr. Wilcox did not like to take the palace against the King’s order that morning, as he thought then he would only become a usurper of the King's power. Mr. Wilcox was lead- ing this revolution as Hawaiian Garibaldi, and if he only decided to lead as a Ha- walian Napoleon Bonaparte he would have carried everything before him. By | the evening he became a prisoner and charged to high treason by the Govern ment, but his countrymen as jurymen dis- charged him as their idol and hero.” 8o much for Wilcox as a revolutionist. Now. note the wind up: ‘While he was in the prison in 185 Pope Leo XIIT granted to his wife an annula- tion of the marriage, also the civil court of Italy. The Italian Consul and the Catholic Bishop at Honolulu confirmed this news, respectively. So Mr. Wilcox in 1896 married again to Princess Theresa Owana Kaohelelani, a direct descendant of Keona, father of Kamehameha I. With this matrimony Mr. Wilcox has a son and a daughter living. “In 1900 Mr. Wilcox is elected as the first Delegate from the Territory of Hawali to | Congress, also the idol of the native peo- ple of Hawail."” How's that for Congressional modesty, Congressfonal English and all the rest of it? Can you beat it? — LF‘F\SHION HINTS FROM PF\RIS—.J + + * DRAB SERGE COSTUME.
