WILL NOT DOWN. Imporlmlsm Will Continus to b.? Important limo. EX-SENATOR EDMUND8 Says ths Pooplo Havo Not Yot Sattlsd ir, and His Party Mutt Anawar for Its Mistakes. In an oxtondod interview publishod In tho Boston Herald Monday la?'? Eor mor Unitod States Sonator Edmunds, of Vormont, outlined his viows in ro gaid to tho futuro of (Juba, Porto Woo and tho Philippinos, in s marmor dearly indicating his boliof that im perialism will continuo to bo an ifsuo in this oountry and that tho liopubli oan party will oontinuo to labor undor dif?oultios arising from thone now pos Bosions. "1 think tho government's oourao in rogard to Ouba has boon wrong and unnecessary. Wo havo not niado good our promises to Ouba, and there was nothing to provont us from doing so. Wo promised to givo tho Uubans thoir f roc dom and would havo utood much hotter in tho oyos of tho world and in our own estimation if wo had dono BO. "My plan would havo boon to givo thom oomploto indopondonoo, as wo promisod to do; iot thom not up thoir government, thou tomo timo along in tho winter, perhaps, or botoro thoy had had time to got into any foreign ontan gleintnts or oontraot noy debts, wo oould have gone to thom and explained our position in tho mattor. Wo oould havo told thom that in order to protook ourselves wo must havo sorno arrange ment by whioh thoy oould not mako any allianooo with other nations with out tho govornmont of tho United States being oonaultod; that wo had sot thom froo, and it WAB nooosaary for us to soe to it that our rights were prc tooted. Wo oould doal with thom as a ropublio and have something in tho nature of a treaty that would insure us all tho protootion nocossAry and if thoy rofusod to enter any such an arraugo mont, it would bo ncooBsary and right for us to insist upon it, to toll thom lirmly that thoy munt agroo to it or take tho ooneequonooa. That would havo boon my idoa of it, instead of re fusing to fulfill our promisos, and not giving- them an opportunity to Bay whothor or not wo should control thoir foreign r elation H." "Considering tho amount of Ameri can oapital that is being invostcd in Cuba, and that our rotations to tho Cu bans will bo in a moAsuro similar to thoBO whioh existed botwoon Eugland and tho Transvaal, do you think there io any dangor of a Uko trouble in Uuba? ' "No, I should disliko to compare anything to that horriblo Transvaal af fair, but I do think it likely that wo may havo a repetition of tho ox pori onoos Amerioans aro having in Veno zuola," said Mr. Edmunds. "Take thoso asphalt affairs, for instanoo. It is nothing but roasonnblo to cxpoot that wo will havo to deal with Cuba as -wo do with somo of tho South American ropublios." "In my opinion wo havo moro to foar from Porto IU00 than from Cuba. Porto Rico is a part of tho Unitod States, and it will probably not bo long boforo it is - flooded with ambitious lawyers and pthor oarpot baggors, who will soon bo in oontrol of ita affairs to n greator or loss oxtont. Thon thorc will como a timo whon tho politioal parties will have to oonaidor tho ques tion of admitting Porto IU00 into tho Union. Tho oarpot-baggors and others will find tho oonditions worrie than wo ovor had with any of tho Rooky moun tain territorios that havo booomo states. Wo will havo muoh worso pooplo to d'-i with than tho Populists of tho wost. "This will bo duo, in moasuro, to tho faot that AmorioanB, or any of tba northern races, can not rota in thoir en orgy in warm olimatoa; their children do no not live, while thoso of tho na tivos multiply; tho northornor booomos a very difforent man, ho booomoB venal. I am afraid that -whon Porto ltioa is roady to bo admittod into tho Union the island will bo in tho hands of mon of this class. Thon what do wo find? She will havo tho samo roprosontation in tho Unitod Statos senato as doos Now York. 8ho will probably sond two sonators, representatives of tho olass I have dosoribod. They will bo venal and purohasablo and roprcsont a pooplo so difforent from Amorioaua that it sooma to mo, taking this viow of it, that this is tho greator dangor wo havo to foar from Porto Moo." "Thon what you say about Ameri oans in Cuba would apply to thom in tho Philippines?" "YoBj although oonditions in tho Philippinos aro in many rospoots vory di fi or ont. Thoso islands aro farther away, and wo will probably havo lo maintain an armod foroo thoro for a numbor of yoars. Thoro will alway 0 bo moro or loss guerilla warfaro going on thoro, and wo wdl bo in somowhat tho samo position that England is in India, whoro sho is always finding it nocos sary to nuppross an uprising of ono sort or another. England's oxpoiionoo in India hao boon muoh tho samo as ours will bo in Porto Moo and tho Phillippinoa, that ii, in rogard to tho mon who aro sont out to thoso coun tries. It is a woll known faot that the ohildron of. Eaglishmon ia India do not livo to bo moro than two yoars old, and it is now tho custom to sond them to England whon vory young. Tho ol i - mato AffootS tho Englishman in tho marmor in whioh I havo dosoribod, and thon, hoing far away from homo, ho will do things that ho otherwise would not, so that thoro is always corruption in tho managomont of affairs." Thoh you *do not think our oxporl enoo in tho Philippinos has hoon worth tho enormous ooat?" "That would dopond on how you triod to balauoo thc aoaount," said Mr. Edmunds. "If you put against tho ooat tho loss of lifo, tho hardship our sol dions havo undorgono and tho corrup tion that is likely 10 develop among mon so far away, and undor suoh oondi tions, I cortainly do not think it has boen worth tho coot."

IQ Texas, picking is in aotivo pro gross, butin no other portions, although opon bolls aro roportod from all tho most southerly scotions. Tho prcsont condition of ootton indicates not loss than an avorago yiold por aoro, and in sections siolds above tho average may bu uapeoiod. In North Carolina, tho past wook was ohnraotorizod by very hoavy rains from Monday to Wednesday, inclusivo, whioh woro followed by fair, warm and vory favorablo woathor. Ootton improvod gonernlly during tho week; lato ootton was rovivod, is vig orous and will vouch suflioiont sizo to givo a good yiold with a lato autumn; old ootton soams to bo holding its fruit woll, and vory fow roports of shedding havo boon roooivod, but tho bolls aro still festering on tho plants. It may bo (aid that in some scotions whero tho orop was woll worked ootton will bo good, in most othors fair to vory poor. In South Carolina, with fow rxjop Horn, ooirospondonts throughout tho Stato roport an improvement in ootton. There aro a few Hobln in fe? tod with lico, somo with rubt, and tboro is a little shedding, whilo on sandy soils cotton scorns to bavo stopped growing, but gonorally tho plants aro healthy, of fair siz>, woll fruited and still grow ing. Jiluliost ootton is oponing. Sea island is blooming profuaoly. In Georgia, in tho nothern and mid d!o counties an abundant rainfall dur ing tho wook has put now lifo into all orops, and tho ootton orop, in particu lar, was groatly bonofitod. Tho latter is now gonorally in finn condition ia tho section? named, oxeopt wbero dam aged locally by rust and shoddiog. Too much rain fell in tho southwestern counties for tho good of ootton, and tho wet woathor is oausing rust, shed ding and "firing." In tho main, how ovor, tho orop is doing woll in tho south ?leeton and is fruiting heavily. Holls aro oponing in numerous counties. Fodder pulling is tho oidor of tho day in many counties. In Florida, frcquont showers, fol lowed by hot sunshine, ovor a portion of northern and oontral district? camed ootioa to shod and, to somo extent, suffer from rust. In a fow oounties, however, raina woio not so frcquont and tho staplo did vory woll. As a rulo, tho bottom orop is poor On up lands tho staplo is opening qlite frooly, and pioking is booomiog moro gonor.il. Cloudy weather with in o a ora to tompora turos would bo bonofioial. In Alabama, gonorally favorablo con ditions provailcd, tho tomperaturo av eraging vory nearly normal, whilo tho drought, whioh had prevailed for near ly tinco weeks in northotn oountios, was gonorally brokon by fairly copious vairn-; lu ?wier raino oaourod over tho greater portion of tho southorn half of tho State on several days, whilo slight ly oxoosbivo rainfalls in tomo east oon tral, south o antral and oxtromo south orn oountios, though ampio sunshine was roooivod in all districts, and iii n fow scatter od localities rain ia still noodod. Ootton continu?e in gonorally satisfactory condition; it is fruiting and bolling woll, and somo early is oponing, but no pioking is roportod; somo fow complaints of ootton dying on sandy soil are roooivod, aud reports of rust, rot and ?lud ?ing aro moro numerous, but damage from these OMISOS is not Boriou8 aa yot; ono roport of boll worms. In Mississippi moderato to hoavy showers woro quito goncral over tho southern half ot tho Stato and ina fow of tho north-oontral oountios; but tho drought coniiii nc? in many of tho north ern oountios, and in L-O?UO localities is boooming vory sovero. Ootton is grow ing and ti ni ung nicely ; oponiog is bo ooming general. In tno northwestern emmies, where only a tow light looal ?howers bavo fallen, upland orops aro deteriorating. Ootton has stopped growing anet is shoddiog badly, and mino promaturo oponing is roportod, but on lowland it oontinuos in fair con dition. Ia Louisiana showorshavo boon gon cral and fri'iuont over tho f-. out h casi ern portion, ana in localities rains have boon hoavy. No rain has fallen throughout tho northwostorn portion of tho Stato, whoro tho ground is gotting vory dry, and in a fow looalitios a so vero drought is prevailing. Tho oot ton orop has improvod ovor tho south oastorn portion of tho Stato and in tho parishos along tho Mississippi rivor, whoro it is gonorally growing and fruit ing woll. Ovor tho wostorn portion of tho Stato tho orop needs rain gonorally, and in somo plaoes has nlroady oom - moncod to doteriorato. Rust ai d shed ding aro roportod quito oxton dvo in a fow localities between tho Hod and Sa bino rivers. Eirly plautod ootton is oponing gonerally throughout tbo Stato, and somo pioking is hoing dono. Pro maturo opening as a result of dry woathor is rcpoitod from Grant parish. Too much rain is roportod from a fow of tho oxtromo southorstorn parteilos, whoro grass and woods aro gotting a toed f..tart; othorwiso tho orop is gonor ally in a good stato of oultivation. Whilo somo.plaoos roport an exoollont prospoot, tho outlook is gonorally for a yield boiow tho avorago. In somo lo oalitios tho plant is fruiting to tho top of tho stalk. In TonnouBOo tho good rains whioh foll over tho grotto* portion of tho oas torn and middlo divisions on tho 5th and ti.h wore immensely bonofioial to grow ing orops and pasturo?. Ootton, whioh, whilo standing tho drought fairly woll, waa beginning to suitor, will tako a now l?ase.

Tho drought whioh has prevailed ovor tho southorn, wostorn and northwostorn scotioea has boon groatly intensified by tho dry, warm woathor of tho past wcok, and, with tho hotsouthorly wind, had a disastrous, effool on vegetation gonerally.

Tho genornl con dition of cotton along tho groator por tion of tho Trinity river vnlloy, thonoo eastward to the Louisiana bonier, and in somo of tho oountios along tho Gu'f coast ia fairly good; in Ornoo sootione whilo tho orop ia ?dt sorlouilyfibftoring for rnoioturo, a general rain would bo of iuoaloulablo value. lu all portion? of tho Stato, oxoopt w hero rai a foll, a ni turk od chango for tho worflo is notod in tho condition of cotton, and many held H whtoh havo passod without sori* ous injury through so many unfavor ablo conditions aro failing fast.
