WILL NOT DOWN. Imperlalltm Will Continue to b? Important Ittut. EX-SENATOR EDMUNDS Says the Pecpla Have Not Yet Settled It, and Hit Party Mutt Antwer for Its Mittaket. Ia an oxtcndod interview published in tho Hoeton lie raid Monday 1 ant Former United States Senator Edmunds, oi v ermoni, ouuineci nis views 10 regard to tho fuiuro of Cuba, Porto Kico and the Philippines, in a manner olearly indicating his belief that imperialism will continue to bo an iesuo in this cy.xutzy and that the Republican party will eontinuo to labor under difficulties arising from these now possesions. "I think tho government's oourso in regard to Cuba lias been wrong and unnecesiary. Wo have net mado good our promises to Juba, and there was nothing to prevont us from doing so. Wo promised to give tho Cubaus their freedom and would have stood much bolter in tho eyas of tho world and in our urn estimation if wo had done so "My plan would havo been 10 give them complete independence, as wc promised to do; let them set up their government, then tomo tiiuj along in tho winter, perhaps, or boforo they had had time to got into any foreign entanglements or ooniraot any debts, we oould have gone to them and txplairci our position in tho matter. We oou'.d bavo told them that in order to protect ourselves we must have somo arrange ment by which they oould not make any allianocs with other nations without the government of tho Haiti d States being oonsulted; that wo had set them free, and it was noocstary for us to Bee to it that our rights wero pro tooted. Wo oould deal with thorn as a republic and have something in the nature of a treaty that would insure us all tho proteotion necessary and if they refused to enter any such an arrangement, it would bo necessary and right for ns to insist upon it, to tell them firmly that they must agroo to it or tako tho oonsctuonoos. That would have been my idoa of it, instead of re* ; i- ? i<?n % using 10 iuinn oar promises, ana not giving them an opportunity to nay whether or not wo should control thoir foreign relations " "Considering tho amount of American oapital that in being invested in Caba, and that our relations to the Cu bans will bo in a measure similar to those whioh existed between England and the Transvaal, do you think thero is any danger of a like troublo in Cuba?' "No, 1 should disliko to compare anything to that horrible Transvaal affair, but 1 do think it likoly that we may havo a repetition of tho experiences Americans are having in Venezuela," said Mr. Edmunds. "Take ibeaTr-J^halt aflairB, for instanoe. It -^fs nothing' Sit reasonable to expect that wo will bi|vo to deal with Cuba as UM^^^wo do with tome of tho South Amenoan republics." t "In my opinion we have more to foar from Porto Hico than from Cuba .Porto ltico is a part of tho United States, and it will probably not be long before it is flooded with ambitious lawyers and othor carpet-baggers, who will soon bo in control of its atlaira to a greater or lees cxtont. Then there will oomo a time when tho political parties will havo to consider the <iues tion of admitting Porto ltico into the Union. Tho carpet-baggers and others will And the conditions woise than iVo ^ ?- over had with any of the llocky inoun'Vin territories that havo become states. Vv# will havo much worse people to deal w'it-h .than the Populists of the west. "This will bo duo, iu moaoaro, to tho fact that Americans, or any of thi northern raoos, can not retain their energy in warm climates; their ohilditu do no not live, while thoso of the na tives multiply; the northerner booomes a very different man, he becomes venal. 1 am afraid that -when Porto lticc is roady to bo admitted into the Union tho islaid will bo in tho hands of men of this class. Then what do we lind'/ She will havo the same representation in the United States senate as docs New York. She will probably send two senators, representative* of the olass 1 have described. 'Lney will be venal and purchasable and represent a people so different from Americans that it seems to inc. taking this view of it, that this is the greater danger we have to fear from Porto llico. ' 'Then what you say about Atneri oans in Cuba would apply to them in tho Philippines?" "Yes, although conditions in the Philippines aro in many respects very different. Tho*o islands aro farther away, and wo will probably have to maintain an armed force there for a number of years. 1 here will always bo more or less guerilla warfare going on there, and we will bo in soinewnat tho same position that Unhand is in India, whero she is always finding it necessary to suppress an uprising of one sort or another. Kuglatm s oxpiriouoo in India has been much tho same as ours will bo in Porto llioo and the Philippines, that is, in regard to the men who aro rodI out to thoso ocun r tries. It is a well known fact that the ohildron of Knglishmon in India do not live to bo moro than two years old, and it is now tho custom to sond them to England when very young. Tho eli mato affects tho Englishman . tho manner in xhioh 1 havo described, and then, being far away from home, ho will do things that ho othorwiso wruld not, bo that there iti always corruption in the management of allairs." Then you <lo net think our export enoe in the Philippines has boon worth tho enormous cost?" "That would depend on how you tried to balanoo the aoaount," said Mr. Edmunds. "If you put against tho cost tho losa of lifo, tho hardship our soldiers have undergone and the corruption that is likely to dovolep among ion bo far nway, and under auoh conditions, I certainly do not think it has been worth tho cost." And This in Ohio! A bloody raoo riot has occurred at the Big Book oolored camp grounds in Jaokaon, O. Tho prosonoo of white persons was resented and when ono of tho latlor got into a fight with a oolored man a general row ensued in whioh nearly a hundred persons engaged. The tight lasted half an hour, when the whius wero forced to floe from tho grounds. Boor bottlos and oluhs were the weapons used. More than a dozen persons wore soriously hurt. j m THE COTTON CROP. Eaat of the Miaalaaippl River Thinga Look Better. lo North Carolina, heavy rains over tho southern eountioa damaged ootton, and in Texas and northern Louisiana the drought eruditions became intensified over oxtonBivo areas, to tho deterioration of tho staple, but othorwise the plants improved v aterial'y in condition, and ovor tho greater portion of the belt cast of tho Mississippi are now nniin nrnmioincr i?w r* ?-o' Iu Texas, picking is in aotivo pro ( gress, but in no othor poriioBB, although open bolls are reported from all tho 1 most southerly sections. Tho present ' condition of cotton indicates not less than au average yield per aero, and in { sections j ioldu above tho average may bo exprotod. 1 In North Carolina, the past week 1 was characterized by very heavy rains from Monday to Wednosday, inclusive, ' which woro followed by fair, warm aod very favorable weather. I Cotton improved generally during the ' week; late ootton was revived, is vig- 1 orous and will roach sufficient sizo to give a good yield with a late autumn; old ootton Beams to be holding its fruit well, and very few reports of shedding 1 have been received, but thd bolls are still scattering on tho plants. It may bu raid that in seme sections where tie crop was well w>;rkcd cotton wiil bo good, in most others fair to very poor. In South Carolina, with few <x.'op tioce, coircpportdcnts throughout tbo Stato report an improvement in ootton. Tlure are a fyw fields lnfestod with iioo, hooio wiih ru t, and thero is a little shedding, wntlo on saudy soils co:ton seems to bavo stopped growing, but generally iha plan's are healthy, of fair siz\ woll fruited and stili grow ing. K.rlicst cotton is opening. Sen island is blooming profusely. In Georgia, in the nothern and midd o oouatics an abundant rainfaii during tho week has put new ii^e into all crops, ami the cotton orop, in partiou lar, was greatly benefited. Tho latter is now generally in fine condition in the sections named, except whero damaged looally by rust aud shedding. Too much rain fell in tho southwestern counties for the good of ootton, and tho wet weather is oausinc ru9t. shed ding and "firing."' In the mam, how- 1 evor, the crop is dciag well in tho south 1 scoton and is fruiting heavily. Bolls 1 aro opening in numerous counties. ( Foudcr pulling is tho order of tho day 1 in many ocunties. In Florida, frequent showers, followed by hot sunshine, over a portiou ' of northern and central distriats caused I cotton to shed and, to somo extent, 1 suliir from rust. In a few counties, however, rains wcio not so frequent 1 and tho staplo did very woll. As a 1 rule, the bottom crop is poor On up- 1 lands the staple is openiog q lito freely, 1 and picking is becoming more general. ' Cloudy weather with modorate tempera- | lures would bo bcncfioittl. lu Alabama, generally favorablo conditions prevailed, tho tempcraturo averaging very nearly normal, whiio tho 1 drought, whioh had prevailed for near ly threo weeks in northern countioe, was generally broken by fairly copious rains; heavier rains ocoured over tho greater portion of tho southern half of iho State on several days, while slight ly exoessivo rainfalls in somo east central, south c.ntrai and extreme southern oountics, though ample sunshino was reoetved in all districts, and in r. few scattered localities rain is Bliil needed.
