The winter of Hawal discontent starts In with water rates and winds up with the propert) and unjust Income tax. After that the Legislature. Sooner or later the Republicans will have to decldo on whether It will ha "an thing to beat Wilcox" or an ef fort to elect their own candidate. Japanese laborers leaving Hawaii for the Mainland are likely to be heard from at no distant day crvlng out for sufficient money to pay their way home Agulnaldo's fear of death at the hands of former associates Is pretty good evidence of the kind of material Uncle Sam has to "civilize" In the Philippines. With two lines of freighters bidding for fruit trade in Honolulu and Kilo's coast steamer giving Hawaii growers a chance, It ought to be possible for the small fanners to find u profitable busi ness outside the realms of sugar.

THE MUNICIPAL ISSUE. The political situation In Hawaii was never more complicated, kaleidoscopic or fraught with more possibilities foi good or evil than It Is today. Til" forces which believe In progiesslve government are divided Into tbren camps, nt present working toward tho name end on different lines of party ac tlon. The outlook has many hopeful Elgns, and the only clanger Is In the possibilities of mismanagement, ithe result of making too much of small differencesorfearto faco annual Issues If theso forces can be held togethor the business like legislative adminis tration so much needed will be realiz ed; should they start working nt cross purposes, It will be the same old stoiy with Wilcox ruling the loost In Hono lulu and Washington, Outside possible personalities found In tho capacity uf candidates to fulfill tho duties of the olllce to which they usplrc, the thief Issue of the campaign will be county and municipal govern ment. This Is particular!) tine of the Republican party known to contain an liltin conservative clement. Cltizoji of Hawaii are watching Republican ac tivity not so much to nsccrtuin Its can didates ami determine whether the) aro "good men" as to Mind out wheio tho pally will stand when It comes to the declaration on local bclf govern ment. Chairman Itobeitton of the present Republican oigaulzation takes tho Etand that the position of (he Republi cans should be no less positive than that ot the opposition, In so far as a demand Is made for provision for county and municipal government by the next Legislature. Robertson voices tho obvious sentiment of the majority in his party ami out of It. If the Re publicans hope to muster a corporal's guard at the final ballot, they must go Into the election with a clear cut and non-easlvc pledge for the enactment ol Haws that shall guarantee Independent KOernment to eery district of tha Territory, Thoro nrc thoe In the party doubtful of the ad liability of branching out for a speedy development on recognize) 1 American lines. They fear the results If these men will look oer the sllua- tlon calmly they must be convinced anionic the planters, who are faco ' u that they liac greater renon to fcir.tucc with ruin. tho outcome of n progiam that mecln the issue in a half hearted wa), and leaves nn opening to put off the strug gle with Independent government to such an In'deflnlte period as the Legis lature of lour jears hence The elec torate of this Territory Is in no mood to favor partj piomlscs which arc noth ing more or less than an attempt to satisfy previous to the election but menu an thing after. Though the Re publican candidates be the best men this Tcrr'jorj can muster, failure ul , the part to make an unequivocal maud for the municipal piogram will assure nn overwhelming defeat. The people have made up their minds. Any pari) that presumes to hold them back will suffer the pleasure of being bowled over and given nn opportunity to de liberate on the necessity for fathering mure progressive Ideals when appeal ing to popular opinion. The Republi can party ntwavs has been the party of courageous progress. Hawaii's sec tion of It must live up to the reputa tion If It hopes to retnln lis quota of the prestige the party has gained tnioiighout the nation. The combination between Senators Piatt nud Quay to swing their Influence! for the nomination of Roosevelt In 1901 und oppose the llanna machine bids fair to bring about one of the most Interesting political contests of cars. Piatt and Quay aie old timers who have , been cast in Hie shade by Hannn's sud den rise In the national field. Piatt's love of Roosevelt Is large!) a matter of neressit). Roosevelt was foiced on him In the New York Slate campaign following the Spanish-American war and when he thought he had Roosevelt safel) side tracked on the Vice Presi dent shelf, the death of McKlnlc) upset all calculations. The- proposition seems to be to down Htiuna and Roosevelt's differences with the Ohio Senator mako him the most avail able material with which to work. Louisiana has succeeded In carrying the Sampson-Schley controversy to the full limit of folly. Its Senate has pass ed a law barring from the public schools nil) and all histories giving credit for the Santiago battle to any one but Admliul Schley. Thus Is the vouth of Louisiana refused the pilvl lege of even drawing an honest con clusion after hearing n fair statement of merits. The Merchants' Association Is pre paring a program for Its fair that ought to draw the people from the other Isl ands If nil) thing will. : ; .. : . . ......... i, y J y. DOOR OF ORIENT SHUT IN AMERICA'S FACE By ALEXANDER RUSSELL WEBB BEY, Consul New York. It Is tho fashion for Americans to write and to speak most optlmlstlcall) nowadays on the brilliant prospects of their trade with Oriental countiies. The acquisition of the Philippines and tho unhinging of the door In China have turned the e)cs of mercantile, Ameiica eastward; and all the markets of Oriental lands are already looked upon us the Certain reward of American business pluck and cnierpiise. Ten ) ears' experience as American consul In tho Philippines, long travel thiough China and India, and nine yeais" seivlco In the employ of tho Ottoman Empire qualify me to advl&n that the outlook Is not ns losy as It seems. The bar to Ameilcan Hade progress with the Eastern people Is that tho laboi cost uf the urticles desired hv them is gieater In Amerlca'than In thri competing European countiies. It Is Idle to argue that the American woikmau'8 supcilor clllcleniy moic than makes up all along the line for the wage clirferenic. That may be o In the case of a fen articles, but in gen eial It Is not tiue. I have seen the Ansonla Clock Com pany fall to compete In llombay, with a Geiman-Swlhs house, because It could not make the docks as cheaply owing to tho higher pa) of the American me chanic. Again, in India, I taw En glish cloth drilling win the markrt ftom American competition by reason of greater cheapness, aided by tho lit tle trick of stamping It "American chilling." The help That the stumping gave to the victor In this trade competition Illustrates the fact that tho American goods, generally speaking, are inoio deBired than any other on tho markcW of tho East. They have n better llnlsli and a finer appe.uanco than the goods competing, but they aio ulso dearer; und that kills their chance with poor people, as all those Orientals are. It Is very evident that some Amerl- Mfl PLANTERS Sill 41 11 m Hnana, June 29. Tho Dlarlo de la Marina sas that nobody who know the economic situation In Cuba can 1)3 surprised by tho growing agitation It cites the following case, the fig urcs being tnken from tho books ot ono of the leading planters, of the tale of 10,000 sacks of centrifugal sugar, polarizing Sfi.u degrees, the gross w light of which was 3,230,OT0 pouncW Tlitt tnie wns 30,00.0 pounds, leaving 3,200.000 pounds ofUngar, worth, nt three cents n pound, $9fi,000 Id No ftik. Add to this $1,000 extra nllmv nnev for the high polarization and the value was brought up to (97,000. flu Insurance was $250, Height. (2,500; Itl nor expenses, (200; warehouse dues. $100. receiving and delivery charges. de-i$l00, fire Insurance, (HO, llghtcrngi 51,200; weighing and calculating tare, (323; duties, (53.920; brokerage, (242 50, commission, (970; making the to tal expenses (CO, 005 nnd leaving (30, 391.50, or (3.G3 per sack, or, say, (J '.'4 Spanish. The cost per sack Is as follows: (3 33 for 3.025 pounds of cane; grinding, '.') cents; transport and warehouse due, 51 cents, a total of (4.74, leaving a loi of 75 cents Spanls hgold per Back. Therefore, for every (100.000 rtpic scutlng the work of the cultivator and the capital of the planter more thau half goes Into the Treasury at Wns1! Ington. The paper says that some call this liberty, Independence nnd sovr eignty, but others call It the harshest kind of economic deependence. At a large meeting of negroes today Scnor Rcndon denied that the negroes wnurcd to mako trouble. All they wanted was justice. All Cubans, he added, should unite to offset Hie Americans. Senor Cnrreras said lh American needed Porto Rico, tno ,Ml,ppIne8i awa, nn(1 Ctllja to seiVl their negroes there. If tho Govern ment showed Incapacity to deal falrlv with tho races the negroes would show them nt tho next election who wcro the masters. Scnor Don said the President suit Senor Ilravo to Santiago to talk with the negroes regarding a supposed up rising there, but he learned nothing The uprising of the negroes wns per fectly peaceful. Those who were try Ing to deny them their rights we-e pointing to them as'dlsturhcrs of tho peace. If the (lovernment could m.t deal with the question of (no races tho republic would bu a failure. Gen. Sanchez said that the police ot Havana wcro composed of whites. )! tuorc stealing was done by flic polio than nn)body else. Honest negroes could not get admittance to the fo.-co Gualborto Gomez said tTInt Intervcn Hon had changed the natural coutse of evolution. Ho compared President Palma with the Spanish General Calle jas. The latter, lie said, wns moic lib erul and democratic than Senor Palma, who was President of a democratic re public. Negroes wcro originally prevent" 1 from entering the Hnvana police uy General Ludlow. i Ono miner Is killed for every LOGO 000 tons of coal lalsed. General of Turkey In cans have gained a trade In army sup plies, arms, etc., by the nation's main taining nn nrmy In the Philippines; but It Is not apparent that tho trade gains will extend much farther there, ex cept under some tariff system which would give Americans an ndvnntage In prices. The Filipinos want little of the white rami's goods. There are millions of them, to be sure, but It Is only possible to trade with tho more civilized ones who Inhabit the towns on or near tho coast. These will buy American con densed milk and perfumes; they did so when I wus there. The seml-barbar-laus will still be content with the milk of tho caribou. Hermans, Spaniards nud English In tho Philippines will buy the goods of their lespcctlvc nations under normal price conditions, because they aro made to theli liking and because they ai cheaper than the Ameilcan Colonists fiom tho United Slates may be expect ed similarly, to prefei the goods they havo been used to nt home, but, after all. they are not numerous nor will they lie in man vears, For all theso l canons the Ameilcan trade prospect In tho Philippines docs not look allur ing when brought to a close range now. An American syndicate has opened i peimnnent exposition In Constantinople and I was Informed theie that It was meeting with some success In the hand ling of machinery, farm Implements, flour, etc. Hut there Is an English house, close beside It, competing In every possible Hue, und with lower prices, ns a rule. The government h very filendly to the Ameilcan enter prise, but, ub elsewhere, the venture Is sorely handicapped by the greater cost of the goods to the exporter. Either the American workman must do more work' for his money or get less money for his work If his cmplojer Is going to win the Undo of tho Hast That may be very unpalatable, but It Is sound and true, and I hope It will prove wholesome.

Three thousand Venezuelan Gov ernment troops under (Jenernl Calixto Castro, the President's brother, wero completely routed on July 3, between Barcelona und Agun, by the troops of tho revolutionary army under the com mand of Oenerul Rolando. The Gov ernment forces lost all of their ammu nition and equipment and many ot tin) soldiers deserted to tho revolutionists during the engagement. After the battle tho revolutionary army moved on Barcelona and sm loundrd that city. Tho Inhabitants were panic-stricken, tho shops were closed and the streets were barricaded.

When the vote for the Foreign Olllce came up In the House of Commons today the Government's foreign policy came In tor consider able criticism. Sir Charles Dllke (Advanced Radical) Said ho wanted to know if there had been any leal negotiations with Franco looking to the settlement of the French shore (Newfoundland) dispute, and be further declared that British recogni tion of French rights to the Hinterland of Tripoli endangered the tiadltlonal friendship of Great Britain and Italy. The new arrangements between Franco and Italy, ho further asserted, had en tirely upset the British situation In tho Mediterranean and Eastern Europe. They had been made In order to put tho screws on Great Britain. Tho feebleness of the Government's polity In China showed the absence of a pic siding mind. Sir Charles also leferrcd to the bos' tlllty to Russia Involved In the Japan cse alliance, and he advocated that a clear definition of the respective Inter ests of Great Britain and Russia could poslbly be seen led by some sort of an arrangement with tho Czar himself, Continuing, Sis Charles acked It there was any secret understanding with Germany regarding her access to the Persian Gulf, and urged tho fostering of filendshlp with Franco, He conclud ed with moving a reduction of ihu sal ary of tho Foreign Secretaiy, Lord Lunsdowne.
