Ely. director of economics add political science in tho University of Wisconsin, will be gov erned entirely by trained officials. Tho familiar rallying cries heard in muni cipal campaigns indicate to Prof. Ely Imperfect and Insufficient Ideas of tho nature of municipal problems. Particularly he does not think much of tbo demand that business men should be put In office ns the "natural and Inevitable directors of local af fairs." In tbo Municipal Journal Prof. Ely recalls past campaigns in New York and other cities In which tho hosts of reform have been gathered together by Buch battle cries to do battle for the salvation of tho municipality, and be dwells upon "tho disappointment and reaction which returned to office tbo politicians." He reaches the conclusion that in the twentieth century there Is a grow ing feeling that a wider, deeper basis for rpform Is needed to bring about what Is desired nnd to prove a perma nent acquisition; and no thinks that models can be found in (lermany and England. "I have before me," he says, "the ad-T-rtlseraent of a German city for a Mayor. It Is stated In this advertise ment what the salary Is and what tho qualifications are, and these are very .gh.

I be lieve It will. Cuba In 1894, without a ' free market, mid under Spanish mis rule, found It profitable to produce 1,- 100.000 tons of sugar at a profit of 10 per cent. and. according to a statement made by Mr. William llonnct (page 527. Cuban Census), "could have ground more than that had It not been for the war." If she can do so well under such ad verse circumstances as prevailed at that lime, what will she produce when she Is put on more than nn equality with the American planter? LUtcn to. what Mr. Itobert I. Porter, special I nnn.n.l.i.lnn.1. .,.. ( I. ,. ftlln.1 Otntita limiimoniuiii'i iiuiu tin- uiiiivii oinii'B to Cuba, says about the possibilities of Cuban sugar. You will find It on page 523 of the Cuban census. "With millions of acres of the rich est and best cano land on the globe yet untouched by the plow, with a cli mate unsurpassed for the growth and development of sugar rane, and with n prcstlgo for Cuban sugar second to none In tho markets of tho world, tho future of Cuba's sugar presents a pos sibility of wealth surpassing tho rich ness of the gold and silver which enmo to Columbus In the marvelous tales of the Interior of the magnificent Island which he had discovered," Cuba's Agricultural Possibilities. I could quote opinions llko tho above by the score, but It seems un necessary to consume your time to provo what Is putcnl to everyone who has studied Cuba's agricultural possi bilities. With frco markets she can supply the world, ur, as the compiler of the Cuban Census says In the con cluding paiagruph of the article on sugur: "The rehabilitation of the lirgc plan tations will require much time anil considerable expenditures, but with the liquidation of existing loans on CITYGOVERNMENT BY 1 TRAINED MEN ot his first term he shall be entitled to n pension equal to his salary; and finally, all cnndldntes. wherever they may live, are requested to semi in their applications to the chairman of the municipal Council before a certain date. "Consider for a moment the contrast suggested. First, municipal govern ment Is a profession, and not n busi ness; second, It Is a difficult profes sion, requiring special preparation; third, a man should devote his lite to It. "If we stop to consider all the knowl edge which Is required for an expert administration of municipal affairs, we shall see how absurd It Is to expect that a man can successfully tako tho leadership In municipal administration without proper training and experi ence. Municipal government Is some thing far more than a business, but looking at It even as a business it has Its own peculiarities, which must bo carefully learned by suitable prepara tion. "Ilecause a man has managed well a farm, It does not follow that without having given any attention to railways he can Immediately becomo a success ful railway President. No moro does It follow thai a successful railway President can administer excellently the nffalrB of a city.

Indeed, when wo consider that this crop was cultivated on less than one-fourteenth part of the area of the isiunrt (28,000,000 ncrcs), a largo pn't cf v hlch can be made suitable for fa gar, some Idea of Its great prospcctlvo wealth In this commodity can be fo.'m cd, jrcvlded Cuba Is successful In finding favorable foreign markets. In short, It Is perfectly apparent, as has besii elsewhere r.'.it'l, tnat lin-lrr such conditions Cuba can easily be come the greatest sugar-producing country In tho world." Having shown, as I believe, that tho free Introduction of Cuban sugar will so stimulate the production as to glut tho American market with free sugar, let us see how Hawaii could stand tho taking off of all the duty. Wo have as n guide tho experience tho Hawaiian planters went through during tho tlmo sugar was free under tho McKlnley bill. Effect of Repealing Duty. The United States Minister to Ha waii, In a dispatch to tho Secretary of State, No. 32, of September B, 1891, said: "Tho repeal of tho sugar duty by the United States has struck the prin cipal material product of Hawaii a very severe blow, and with tho most favorable estimate It now looks ns though bankruptry m,lsl uo "10 Inovl table fate of more or less of tho sugar planting firms nnil corporations." In confirmation of what I hnvo stat ed regarding tho cost of producing su gar In Hawaii, I quote rrom page 7C9 of the Senate Committee on Foreign Itclatlons' report on the Hawaiian Isl ands. The witness, Mr. Simpson, says: "When I was In Honolulu the winter of 1892 the growing price of sugar was HIGHER AIMS OF MASSES a business man and nothing else Is 'not equal to tho undertaking, so fre quently It Is found that with all his de fects tho professional politician does as well ur better, because bo has at least had experience." Prof. Ely's conclusion Is that there must be a class of officeholders. The legislative officer who should exerclsa n general control and represent tho community should include men repre senting nil tbo different Interests of the city; but the administrative offices should bo filled by experts with perma nent tenure of olfico. He regards tho Mayor as an administrative officer. This, he says, Is the method In prac tlco In the best State movements. Tbo regents, representing tiio community, see hnt the movement accomplishes the purposes tho people 01 the State desire It to accomplish. They establish a general policy, but turn over the de tails requiring expert knowledgo to tho faculty, which has this knowledge. "The city." Prof. Ely says, "is some thing far more than a business con cern. This business concern Idea ot the city does not, as a matter ot fact, move the masses of the people suffi ciently to arouse a great amount of genuine enthusiasm. "We need a broader basis of reform, and a higher aim, and this Is afTorded by a new rallying cry which we aro be ginning to hear, the city a well-ordered household, it Is this idea which is giving form and Bhape to the twentieth century city." riS-s-fc-H-'i-r '1 THING. many friends 1N....... ... ..j.,.., a few years ago." -j" r Discusses W- Hawaiian about $90 per ton.

' In conclusion I wish to Impress upon I tho committee tho fact that Hawaii no longer enjoys cheap labor. In fact, sho has been put to her wits end during tho past two years to obtnln sufficient labor to take oft her crops at any price. Last 'spring the Planters' Association tried tho experiment of bringing labor irom rorto kico. two thousand one hundred wero Imported at a cost of about $100,000. It cost ono plantation J $1.5G per ton of sugar raised to obtain this labor. Hawaii Is compelled to-l day to pay for the most Indifferent la- bor mora than Is paid In tho States.

I do not believe thnt If these figures wero watched, with tho oilier fifty-four plan tations on the Islands, it would make much effect on tho nvorago cost of producing sugar on the Islands.
