The only serious issue before it has ap- | peared in fixing the qualifications for the Presidency. | Three instruments have been presented to the conven- | tion, framed respectively by Senors Rivera, Morua | and Quesada. Rivera’s plan follows closely the con- | stitution of the United States. It creates a govern- | ment of three co-ordinate branches, executive, legis- | lative and judicial. The President and members of j(he House of Representatives are to be elected by | popular vote. The present provinces will be called J departments, conforming to our States, and each will be divided into municipalities, conforming to our ‘counlies, The municipalities will elect their own local | officers, and at the same time will choose delegates to the department Legislature. The Senators will be | chosen by this Legislature. | Rivera’s constitution provides that the President of | the republic must be a native of Cuba. This is in- | tended to shut out General Gomez, who is a San Do- fmingan. His partisans are represented in Morua’s plan, which differs from Rivera’s in providing as the only qualification for President that he served in the revolution. Information as to this clause in Morua's plan is defective, inasmuch as we are not informed chether it provides that the President must be either a native or an alien who took part in the revolution. | This would provide for the temporary issue made over | | Gomez, and thereafter pass the Presidency down the | native line. No information is furnished as to the length of the Presidential term. Senators are to re- ceive a salary of $1500 per year, and each department is entitled to four Senators, and one representative for | each 30800 people, providing that when the popula- tion exceeds 15,000 it shall be en tive. All plans seem to combine in providing for pay- of the debt to the army and navy contracted by the late provisional government. There scems some doubt about the acceptance of this by the conventi The situation is analogous to our own Revolutionary expenses, which had been provided for by the issue of Continental money, which was never redeemed after the adoption of cur constitution in 1780. In- deed, we are not aware that any such revolutionary debt has ever been paid, though there may be in- stances. The fight of the Gomez p: cribed as “red hot,” and if succe 1 the mingan will probably be the first I lent. wise a native Cuban, probably Rivera or Ques: be chosen. seems to be understood that Bishop Sbarretti is ng the anti-Gomez forces, and it said ez has demanded of General Wood the removal hop. It is aifficult to sce how the military of the United States can separate from his see, but the request exhibits an element of religious rancor in the Cuban situation.

All of the plans recognize religious toleration. ’] present in t 1 committee of t hoped to have the perfected instr reference to the present session of our Congress. necessary under the terms This reference becomes and conditions of our declaration Spain. It is a novel event in our history that the con- stitution of another republic is referred to our Gov- ernment for ratification and indorsement. Under the plan it may be leit for our Congress to decide upon the qualifications of the President of Cuba, and the red-hot fight over Gomez may be transierred from Havana to Washington. It would appear at this d tance that the Morua plan of limiting the Presid to a native or a revolutionist will be the safer tu adopt, considering the future peace of the island. Gomez is a heroic figure in Cuba, and, if shut out by the constitution, ill feeling will smolder to an extent threatening the peace and prosperity of the people. It is the rule among men that the conqueror eithe: becomes the ruler or establishes a line of of war against rulers. Charlemagne was the grandson of Martel, who turned | the tide of Mahometan conquest at Tours, and Wil- liam became King of England after the victory at Hastings. We made Washington our first President, and Napoleon emerged from the revolution of 1703 as First Consul and Emperor. COMMERCE OF THE NATIONS. XPERTS of the Bureau of Statistics of the E Treasury Department have been for some time past engaged in preparing a statistical abstract showing the imports 2nd exports of tvery country in the world having statistical records. The object of the abstract is to present in a single volume an ac- count of the world’s commerce, not only of to-day, but extending back over a long series of years, with details concerning the principal articles of trade, country by country, with quantities and values pressed in our measurements and currency. ex- The opening chapter of the work has been com- | pleted and in itself contains a large amount of valu- able information affording material for interesting comparisons between the commerce of our own coun- try and that of other nations. The imports for home consumption of the Upited Kingdom, for instance, which in the year 1800 amounted to $81,310,000, amounted in 1899 to $2,043,806,450, an increase of 2400 per cent; while in the case of the United States the imports for home consumption in 1800 were $32,121,- 8a1, and in 1899 $685,441,802, an increase of 1215 per cent. Taking the export side the contrast is much more clearly in favor of the United States. The ex- ports of articles of home production from the United Kingdom in 1800 were $111,107,000, and in 1899 $1,287,151,345. an increase of 1050 per cent; in the case of the United States the exports of home products 1800 were $31,840,003, and in 1899 | $1,203,031,222, an increase of 3681 per cent. | One of the most interesting features of this opening | chapter is the showing made of the relation of imports to exports in the various countries. The records oi forty-seven countries other than the United States are given in the tables, and from these it appears that | eighteen countries show an excess of exports over im- ports and twenty-nine show an excess of imports over exports. Virtually all European countries, except ‘{ Russia, Aus ' and Spain, show an excess of imporrs | over exports. In the other leading countries of the | world, with the exception of China and Japan, the exports are in excess of imports. A comparison of these figures shows in a striking | manner the pre-eminerce of the United States in the | commercial world. Among the eighteen countries in comparison of the exports of the whole group with those of the United States.shows that the excess of exports of the eighteen gives a grand total of only $414,845,000 in the latest year of which the figures Australasia, Mexico, Canada and Egypt, and yet a |+ YOUR UNCLE SAM IN d to one represen- | Do- | that | | | t v | | | | | | { alone in the fiscal year which ended $544,542,000. merce and industry. years that are to come. T T ——— l cable line recalled the fact that he had made a PACIFIC CABLE PLANS. ° | similar recommendation in a special message of Feb- | ruary 10, 1890, and added: “Since then circum- stances have strikingly emphasized this need. Sur- veys have shown the entire feasibility of a chain of cables which at each stopping-place shall touch on | American territory, so that the system shall be under our own complete control.” Although the President did not say so, it is prob- able that among the circumstances which to his mind | emphasize the need of the cable is the fact that the British are about to lay one across the Pacific which will be completely under their control. It has been announced from London that the imperial Govern- ment and the Governments of the various colonies | concerned have accepted the offer of a British com- pany to lay such a cable, and the work will be under- taken at once. Accerding to the reports the British enterprise is | to cost about $8975000. It is to start from Van- { couver and will touch no land except that controlled by the empire. Consequently, instead of making a ‘]anding station at Hawaii, the cable will go direct to | Fanning Island, making by far the greatest span known to ocean cables. From that point it will pass Samoz to Fiji, and from there be carried to the i | Australian coast, thus leaving New Caledonia out of | the connection. Such a cable will be costly and will not yield the touching at Hawaii Samoa and New Caledonia. fact that the British have sacrificed those commer- cial opp es for the sake of having complete con trol of the line shows how much they value such con- | trol. To the United States exclusive control of a cable | is a matter of as much importance as to the British, }flml, accordingly, the construction of the British line may well be included among the circumstances which | emphasize the need of one to our Government. The surveys of which the President speaks, and e shown the entire feasibility h at each stopping-place | shall touch on American soil,” have brought to li | many interesting facts concerning the ocean bed be | tween Hawaii and the Philippines. A report of Rear Admiral Bradiord, th { level plain of soft mud, of a nearly of cording to the e is an almost niform depth of 700 fathoms, extending from Honolulu to the Mid- Isiands, and another about 500 iathoms decper een the latter and Guam, broken by submarine | reefs and mountain ranges. } betw From a scientific 'stand- ad was that of a submarine mountain range about 300 knots from Guam, which apparently point one of the most interesting discoveries ma connects with | | { Bonin Islands. To the north of this range, according | to the report, the bed of the ocean slopes gradually to the tward into the great Japanese Deep, which for held the record for ocean depths. | The feasibility of the enterprise being proven, and | its importance being universally recognized, it is to be li-upcrl Congress will no longer hesitate in providing | for it. It is to be regretted the British will have the | yea | a cable, but we can be a close successor and ought not to delay in the work. GOVERNMENTAL RO@D WORK. iPORTS from Washington announce that the R promoters of the movement for improved high- i ways throughout the United States have ar- | ranged to urge upon Congress the advisability of | making this year to the Department of Agricuiture on of $150,000, to be used for the pur- | pose of constructing model highw in various parts | of the country for the double purpose of stimulating | road improvement and teaching how such improve- | ments can be effected. The plan now under consideration is to have the | Federal Government construct one mile of model | highway in each State. The mile is not to be con- j(muon , but is to be divided into four quarters, lo- | cated in different parts of the State, the object of such | division being to show how roads should be cou- | structed under the different conditions of the various | localities, and thus make the object lessons more | widely useful than they would be otherwise. It will be perceived it is not the intention of the promoters of the movement to shift the burden and the responsibility of constructing good roads from the States and counties to the Federal Government. Such a plan is not feasible, and even if it were it would not be desirable, for there could be no surer way of postponing the establishment of good roads than to make them dependent upon Federal aid. Ua- der such a system States and counties would wait for Federal aid, and very little would be done. All that is to be asked is that the Department of Agriculture be enabled to furnish each State with four good models of highway, and surely that is not | asking too much. In the meantime the efforts of the reformers will be continued to arouse the States and the counties to go forward in the work. There are now many forces promoting the campaign of educa- tion on the subject, and it is fairly certain good re- sults will be obtained. California should be among the foremost States of the Union in the work of improve- ment, and the coming Legislature should provide suitable legislation to promote it. s i e A committee of the California Educational Com- mission, which has been in session in this city, is at- | tempting to tell our tezchers how to teach.
