The Buppoaltlon that the Governor was wor- riwl over the prospect of electlon frauds thls year and dcslroua of prevcntlve legislatlon Ib also conflrmed by his niesrage and by the mcas- ure of whlch he Is supposed to be the author.

But tho problem ls not one from which Amerlcan coustructlvo genlus has occaslon to shrlnk. Does anybody BUppoae that tho peo¬ ple of thls eountry have less of the natlon- building faoulty than their ancestors possessed a century ago? No problem ean now be of¬ fered to them as difilenlt as r.ome o, those which our ancestors met wlth rare Rticeofes. nnd we should be degenerate sons of such sires lf we eould not frame a wlse mode of governniont for property far smaller ln area and Incom- p.irably less dlffloult to exploro, oolonlze and reduce to ciilllzation than the contlnent upon which our ancestors landed. Annoxation does not mean Statehood, but merely territorial soverelgnty. and under the lat¬ ter tho T'nlon can well afford to exerise Its iin- quostloned right to .xohido from the lslands those whose .etrlement tends to delay that d- volopinent on Amerlcan llnes, and to malntain rlfOrO-M. discrimlnation between those foreign resldcnts who Heek naturalizntlon and those wlio prefer to remain subjeota of a foreign Govern- mont. It Ib a questlon worth oonslderlng whether such discrimlnation should not extend to tho arqulsitlon of title to land. Whatever tltles the foreign resldents now hold wlll no doubt bo recognlzed. Whether It ls wise to givo them equal facilltlos wlth Amorioan cltlzens in futuro neeupatlnn or acqulroment of land ls not rilt.. gether elear. Above all else, tho l'nion wants theso lslands BCttled by people who wlll bo eager nnd able to defead them agalnat nll other Powers as an outpost of tho I'nited States fnr Its military nnd naval proiectlon.

MR. BBA88BT OX M1X1MDU SPEED. ln "Tho rortnightly Keview" for July the Hon. T. A.

Oomparlng the Brit lsh wlth the comblned French. Russian and QermflJI navles. Mr. Brassey poinls out where the Brltlsh force needs strongthonlng In order t.» meel a Continental Alllance. He notes partlcularly the inferktrrty In nnmben of the Brit- Ish fleet In the waters of Northern Europe. The f'hnnnel fleel mlght bc needed in the Mediter- ranean, .'ind tbe i-flerre aquadron, with its base at DoTCT, would not be strong enough to blockade tho Balflc and Gcrtnnn as well ns tho northern l'renoh jiorts. Therefore he suggests more vessels designed for operations ln the wa*ers of Northern Kurope and for home de¬ fence, and says that for such uses "vessels of "Ihe sea-kceplng qntUltlefl of the Majestlc or "th« Canoptn elaaa are nnnecessary. For these "piir.noses we need fl flblp wlth as powerful nn "artnament and ns good prolection as our pres- "ent flnt-claaa bnttle-flblp-i and wlth a speed "of not less than IT1-. knnts." Thns It wlll be s.-rn that Mr. Brassey, when making his utmost concesslon for home defence nn.l allgbt steamlng reqnirenienls, puts the niiniiniin. speed for battle-shlps at 17'. knots. Ho does not ask for the 18*4 knots of the lanopns or the great .'oal-carrying capaclty of tlie Majestlc He would not be extravagant In his recommendarlons, only he could not think ut thls stnge of navnl progress of bulldlng even a slow battle flblp. to be employed wlthln a liiulted radlus. havlng a speed a blt less than 17K knots an hour.

THE GREAT FARM EXPORTS. There are some Important lessons for f.irmers of the I'nited States In the tiooonnt of exports for the year Just closed. Whlle the roturns are not yet oompleto, they brlng out eertaln of theso lessons very clenrly. Although tl - year has been by far tho most (.iiceessful yet known ln respoot to tho marketlng of farm produots as a whole, lt does not appear that ns good prlees were nbtalned as In other years, when large pro- duetlon met extraordinary foreign demand. The f.irmers know that Ruch eolneldonces are rare, and or.nnot afTord to regulato their outpot year after year In the hope of the excoptlonal demand which comes only once or twlce ln a deeade. It Is not beoause such a hope ls serlously and$ wldely eherished that the farmers so often raiso a erop exeoedlng the world's demand. but main- |y beoause the farmers themselves do not know how much they are plantlng or how much they have ralsrd In previous years. The wheat outcome was In all rospocts ex¬ cept lonal. owlne In ronsldernblo moasure to the great spooiilatlon which Mr. I.elter prolongod for months wlth bo much suceess. Before the broakdown came, whleh seetns to follow almost inevltably the attninmont of conselotis power to control for a limo the world's markot, thls spoo¬ iilatlon had socired fnr the wheat exports of tho erop year nlmost ns good a prloe as wna reallzod In lWl/BB, when 22-...--..H12 bushels, flour includod, lirousht ln 8288.761,411-.

In the erop year 1S07 tho valuo was only |8I.0V..21 2 for 17S.S17.417 bushels exportod, loss than 31 cents. It ls ovidont that long eontinue.l effort has nt last opened a permanontly Inereas- ing foreign markot for thls American product, of which exports thlrty yeara ngo were lnslg- nlftrant, nnd nft.-r rising nearly to one hun- dred inllllon bushels In each of tho four years 1H7S 1KS1 luclusive, then about 8 per cent of the erop, droppod off to less than 2 per ecnt of tho -mail erop of isss and about 8.3 per eont of the large erop of lssjl.
