She made them to General Grant and broke them. The guns of the American fleet will be shotted until this matter is settled forever. KNU LAND AND AMERICA. Colonel Spalding told Senator Mor gan's committee in 1801, that he con sidered the sugar resources of Cuba letter than those of Hawaii, that al though the making of sugar on these Islands "was developed to a higher scientific degree than any other sugar country known," he could produce su gar at $10 per ton less in Cuba than in Hawaii. Ho said further that he did not believe the Islands had any "ad vantages" excepting only climate. Assuming that Colonel Spalding stated the truth, there is now a strong er reason than has herefcre existed for the Legislature, the Government and the planters to shake off their lethargy over the industrial condition of the Islands, for the reason that Cuba will, an all probability, soon become in some way so connected with the United States, that her sugar production will seriously interfere with the Hawaiian product in the American markets. The United States, if they dominate Cuba, will within a short period adjust the affairs of that island, because it lies close to the great money centers, and close to the thickly populated portion of American territory. It is not dis tant like Alaska. It can be reached in a few hours from Boston, New York and Washington. If political affairs are adjusted in the island, with the American Con press dominating over it, there will be a boom of the most feverish character in real estate, and property of that island. Today, the United States does not possessan acre of strictly tropical land, and if it possesses Cuba, the resources of the island will be rapidly developed. Whether the sugar beet industry will kill the sugar cane industry, as it is confidently claimed, is yet a question. The tropics are, and will be, depen dent on ignorant .labor for many years to come. Ignorant labor means, as the -world is now finding out, the most ex pensive labor. Agriculture and horti culture prosper best under the fertili zation of brains, even down to the man wtio simply handles a hoe. Under these circumstances, it is of the utmost importance that we bal ance our industries as soon as possible. Cuba'n sugar on the one side, and the sugar beet on the other puts us be tween the devil and deep sea. The case needs heroic treatment. The present attitude of this community is that of the toper who was told that he must submit to heroic treatment, if he would be cured. "Doctor," he replied, "give me some more whiskey, and let me 'take my chances." The wise men in the community are doing much "thinking." Perhaps they are, but from appearances, they cry for more sugar, more Japanese, and take their cha'nees. The Spectator, one of the conserva tive literary journals of England, speaking of President McKinley and the American Nation, says: "They have behaved with a really wonderful dignity. There has been no blustering or bullying by the Executive, and as the gravity of the siruation has in creased so has the gravity and high mindedness of the Administration. The Anglo-Saxda race may well be proud of its bigger half." Not since 18G0, has a conservative English journal expressed itself in this generous way. After the visit of the Prmco of Wales in the United States, and the enthusiasm of his reception, the English papers bubbled over with the brotherhood feeling. It was said that the political millenium had come, when the two great branches of the Anglo-Saxon race had agreed to keep sten together i'n the advance of civili zation. John Bull and Uncle Sam fell on each other's necks and wept for ioy, and put their arms around each other in a love feast. It was the first outburst of sentimentalism since the war of 1812. Both raised their hands to Heaven and at the .suggestion of any future differences, shouted: "Never, npver. toever!" A few months after this, the Civil war in America began. The love feast pmiwl. The dishes were broken. The spread was torn from the table, and the table itself was upset. Tlie two old pntlPmen shook .their fists at each other. Uncle Sam said that John Bull wished to break up the Union. John Bull retorted that Uncle Sam wanted to subiugate the South. Christian men interfered a'nd eaid that they were not obeying the teachings of Christ. Both cried out that allusions to Christ were inoDnortune and unbusiness like. Then came the Trent affair, and the indig nant eld fellows refused to recognize each other in the street. The political mellenium baby died in its little cradle. After 38 years passed in cold polite ness, and mutual disgust at the hug ging and kissing of 18G0, the- Spectator, representing the best thought and cul ture of England, repeats the language of the love feast. Next, we shall hear, in public, a repe tition of the unconcealed thoughts of British Statesmen. John Bull will say: "Now Uncle Sam, why don't you take Hawaii and done with.it? We don't like your policy, like that of Russia and France of keeping the trade of your territories to yourself. But you will come around all right in time. Our Lord Palmerston said 45 years ago that ehe belonged to you. Come Uncle, shake up, take her and done with it." Planters Monthly.

Neighbors Could Not Bear to Look Upon Her A Grand, Complete Cure by Hood's Sarsapariila After Others Failed. "I was taken with neuralgia in my head and eyes. Not long after this, a scrofula sore appeared on my left cheek, extending from my upper lip to my eye. Other 6ores came on my neck and on my right arm and one of my limbs. They were very troublesome and painful and goon became great running sores. My face looked so bad that some of my neighbors could not bear to look at me and advised me to wear a bandage, but I feared this would irritate the sore and make it worse. So I Could Not Hide the Sores. .My niece, who was familiar with a case similar to mine, which had been cured by Hood's Sarsapariila, urged me to try it. Finally I was persuaded to do so, and in a short time I saw it was helping me. The sores began to heal and the neu ralgia in my head was better. In a few months the sores on my arms and limbs all healed: those on mv neck Gradually disappeared and now they are all gone. I have never had any symptom of scrofula since. One large scar on my right arm is all the sign that remains of my terrible affliction. The neuralgia is also cured." Mrs. J. M. Hatch, Etna, New Hampshire.

Spain may reasdn in this way: "The President nmnoses to intervene, because he says -we carry on a crviel war. Very well, let us stop fighting. What then can he do? He can't intervene, if we don't hurt anybody in Cuba. He will have to tie up his fleets. If we stop fighting President McKinley must compel the Cuans to stop fighting. If they con tinue, foe will have to help us, instead of helping them." The case has this aspect, but we be lieve that it is not correct. The Presi dent, if Congress leaves it to him to manage ,the affair will say to Spain: "You have stopped fighting. But I must fix up this affair so that it is set tled forever. I shall not tie up our fleets until we have come to a final un derstanding, so that you will never j make further trouble in Cuba. I mean (that she must be practically inde pendent. Nothing short of this will do. If you can get out of the scrape by let ting her go, we may guarantee her debt of $445,000,000. And that arrangement is really more than you deserve." While the papers are full of "news," not one of them, so far, can tellis just what the European pressure on Spain for a settlement is. Spain really loses by the suspension of hostilities. The American forces are increasing every day. The Cuban army has a breathing spell. The Span ish expenses continue. While she may be improving her armaments, she is crippled for means, while the United States have enormous sums to convert into fighting material. One thing we know, President -McKinley will, under no circumstances, accept a'ny promises of Spain regard ing good government in Cuba. Her AT 10 O'CLOCK A, M. At the residence of H. H.
