Palmyra lehnd is a small patch ofland that rites from the Pacificabout a thousand miles from thoHawaiian Islands. Somo years agoit was oooupied by Hawaiians, whosubsequently abandoned it. In car-rying out its long established policyof seizing everything in Bight, Eng-land gobblod up Palmyra and stillholds to it. Tho other day Mr.Michel Davitt asked1 a quostion inthe House of Commons in regard totho ownorship of tho Pacific islandwhich elicited from Under ForeignSecretary Curzou tho reply contain-ed in tho following cable doapatoh:

"London, Aug. 2, 1897. In theHouse of Commons to day Mr. Geo.N. Curzou, replying to a question ofMr. Michael Davitt, said a Britishprotectorate was pronlaimod overthe unoccupied part of Palmyra Isl-and in May, 1889, aud that the occu-pation will be maintained. Mr.Curzon alno said it was not neces-sary to notify any of tho poweri ofthose facts, and he said that Hawaiiand Palmyra had no present con-nection."

This answer of Curzon to Mr.Davitt't question reminds us of thedialoguo between Hamlet and hisfriends in tho ghost scene.

Hamlet: "There's ne'er n villaindwelling in all Denmark but is anarrant kuavo."

Horatio: "Thoro needs no ghost,my lord, to come from tho gravo totell us this."

There needs no Undor ForeignSecretary to rise up in his place inParliament to tell us that tho piratonation of tho world will steal anypiece of land that it can lay itshands on.

It was last yoar that Englandato incorporate into the

British Empire an island belongingto Brazil, and it wno only aftor thomost energetic protest on the part oftho Brazilian Government, backedby the Mouroo Doctrine, looming upin the background, that Englandthought it best not to hold on towhat she had stolon from Brazil.The attempt at grabbing the Venez-uelan gold mines "in the interest ofBritish civilization" was another in-stance of John Bull's propensity topolitico upon any desirable posses-sion of countries ho thinks too weakto defend themselves. Hero againtho Monroe Doctrine placed re-- ,straints upon tho gratification ofBritish greed.

Tho raid upon tho Transvaal is astill more recent instance of thelack of conscience John Bull is con-stantly manifesting, when it is aquestion of evicting himself at theoxponse of others whom ho regardsas too weak to dofend thomeolres,

Mr. Davitt, in putting tho question ho did, called attention to themethods by which tho British Em-pire has takon on its preoont dimen-sions. A steal hero and a steal thoromade in tho aggregate that hugocolossus beneath tho shadow ofwhich live millions of plaguo andfamino-striuko- n victims of a hoart-les- s

economical system that sacri-fices India and other lands for thebenefit of a little island in tho At-lantic, thousands of miles away.Tho Palmyra grab is not tnuoh initself, but it is of importance as indi-cating the rapaoious polioy of Eng-land. Mr. Davitt, thoreforo, didwoll to call attentiou to it as an ob-ject lesson as to tho way in whichJohn Bull is keeping up his recordas tho greatest land pirato theworld has over seen. Irish World.

How about tho Hawaiiau grab!

Great Britain and Japan.The Marquis Ito, tho Japaneso

has expressed thoopiniou, in reply to questions putby a Vienna journalist, that Russiawould uot soon got ahead of GreatBritain in Asia, So far as Japanwas concerned tho trade of othernations was of secondary importauce compared with that of England,

Japan as a Power.I From tho Boston Globo.1

Tho protest made against tho Ha-waiian annexation treaty comes fromno mean powor. It is not to boquestioned that thoro is soriousalarm in Europo over tho extra-ordinary oxtontion of tho armamentsof Japan. It might appear to Bomoat first sight ridiculous to rateJapan as a rival of Russia, but sheis none tho less a rival, aud a mostdangerous ono. Sho carries a bud-get of $300,000,000, of which $180,-000,00- 0

is devoted to increasing thosize of hor army and navy. Withintwo yoars Japan will have trebledall hor existing armaments, anduutil tho Trans-Siberia- n Railroadsis comploted Russia will bo at agreat disadvantage with her on thoNorthorn Pacific waters, whoreRussia has no coaling or repairdocks. When Russia has oomplot-o- d

her groat transcontinental rail-way Japan must bo ablo to ccpewith her or ohe run the risk of be-ing swallowed up as a province.Honco it is believed in many circlesabroad that Japan is trying to pro-voke a war with Russia now, beforeshe ceases to hold hor at a dis-advantage. Japan recently triumphed over 800,000,000 people.She has Russia on the hip and maynever have auotbor chance. If sheprovokes a war now and wins showill bo mistress of the NorthernPacific. If sho waits too long shomay bo doomed, and despite Ito'speaceful declarations the Mikado'sgovernment may oven now be pre-paring to take the chances of war.

.So far as this country is concernedthere seoms vory little danger oftrouble with Japan, despite horprotost in tho Hawaiian matter. Attho same timo tho island kingdomis n power to be takou into accountin making plans by the UnitedStates as woll as the other greatnations cf the world.

FOOLS OH KNAVES

Tho meu who htive inrontod theidiotic yarn about I Liu Sugar Trustputting up mouoy for an

campaign in Hawaii shouldbo confined in aomo asylum or putaway for safe kenping. The man,who inspired tho leading article inthe official organ on Saturday, iseither a fool or a knavo. Tho nrtialeteams with' preposterous falfohoodsand most audacious lies.

In tho articlo wo aro condescond-'ngl- ytold that a spontaneous

meeting of Hawaiiana against an-nexation wbuld bo eutitled to

that no enthusiasm fed uponSugar Trust dollars, and arouBodby Sugar Trust orators will havoany eHeot.

Whon Minister Blouut was herotho Hawaiiana and thoir friends atnumerous "spontaneous" meetingsin Honolulu and on the other isl-ands ezprosBod thoir absoluto un-willingness to bocomo annoxod andtheir dotorminod opposition to thoDole oligarchy. Tho men andwomon who met then havo notchangod front or opinion ono iota.At that time any Bane man, whowould havo advanced tho proposi-tion that Glaus Spreckels was "pay-ing" for the meetings, would havobeon treated with ridicule and con-tempt.

Tho Hawaiian cause may to allappearance havo boon lying dormantsince thon. Tho reason wob thattho Hawaiian brief had boon filedwith the Proaident of tho UnitedStates and that no further argu-ment was considered nocessary,Tho Hawaiiana possessed them-selves in patienoe and after fouryears of waiting realized theirmisplaced confidences in tho justicoof tho Groat Republic

Now seoing tho independence oftheir country imporilled again, theyonoo moro rally and onco moro dothoy solemnly protest against theproposed unholy aot of stealing acountry and depriving a free peopleof its nationality. No money isnoedod by tho Hawaiiana to inducothem, in a body to protest againstannexion.

Tho inspirod articlo in tho officialorgan bUows tho fear tho annexationoliquo has of tho possibility thatfair play might be grantod tho Ha-waiians, and thoir protest againstboing sold liko a lot of dumb cattle

-- Government emissaries and thuigang who writo from horo to tho

gjfrjhfegfe&

is favortd by a largo majority ofIlawaiiaun, and that only a emailcolorio of disgruntled foreignersand half-whit- es opposes it. If itwas true, why did tho Dolo Goveru.mo nt not tuko a plobosoito andthoroby diapol all doubts in theminds of tho Senators find Rep-resentatives in tho United StalesCongress? If it !b true, as statod intho official organ, that tho nativoHawaiians aro perfectly satisfiedwith the present form of govern-ment, why is it thoy refuse to takotin oath of allogianco to this"satisfactory" government, and re-fused to exorcise thoir rightn asvoters? The Hawaiians as a rulearo very fond ot having a hand inlocal politics. "Tha uativo wouldbe perfectly satisfied with annex-ation," says the official organ, if hois assured that his taxes will not boincreased, and there will bo no con-fiscation of land." Tho writer ofthat falsehood does not know thonatives nor is ho familiar with tlrnsituation. In tho arguments ad-vanced against annexation amongtho Hawaiians tho question of taxeshas uovar been mentiouod, and itwill bo difficult for tho writor of thearticle referred to, to produoo a Ha-waiian sufficiently ignorant to bo-lio-

that tho United States aro intho habit of confiscating lauds, evenif he has seen it dono by Mr. Dole'simitation republic Equally untruoand impossible for tho organ toprove, is tho statoraont that tho Ha-waiians fear the Queen's vengeance,if sho should bo restored, for thosewho join tho ranks of tho republic.Tho Hawaiians who for tho sake ofbread and butter have taken thooath of allegiance and accepted of-fices under the republic aro on justas friendly terms with thoir country-men as over and in thoir heartsjust as loyal to Hawaii as over.

No promises aro needed or aroused in holding a mass meetingeither among Hawaiians or Portu-guese. But of course it is difficultfor man who are renegades to theirown native country, who aro falso totheir nationality and their flag tobo ablo to understand tho true pa-triotism, loyalty aud love of coun-try, of which, thank heaven, somopeople ovon bo' thoy "s6mi-barbar-iau- s"

'avo'r to show that uouo of tho arguJl'yuts mado in advocacy of tho out-Hlio- d

progtamme in sound, that Ha-waiian annexation is dolrimoutal toLtho interests of tho Unitod States,and that if such a policy might atany time bo desirable, its accom-l- (plishinent now and under eircum

, Tho Prosideut apparently reliosupon tho declaration that annexation is "tho necessary and fittingsequol to tho chain of oveuts which,from a very oarly period of our his- -tory, has controlled tho intercourseand prescribed tho association of

. the Unitod States and tho Hawaiian' i Islands." Unfortunately for thin

contontion, tho recitals made by thoExecutive show merely friendly and

, commercial intercourse and thoadoption of a uniform policy favor-ing Hawaiian autonomy. True, thopopular suggestion which refors tothe dominauoy of Auiericau inter-ests in "that neighboring territory"is notod by tho President. It is now,

lhowe'vor, actively urged that tho

bora" aro not near enough to disturb our test. Thore is no gardon-wa- ll

interchange of views.But v aro dogmatically told that

j wo must havo tho Islands for pur- -! poses of protootion; that our coun-try cannot be safo without them.

I I dony the accuracy of this conten-tion. We can mako a better con- -

' tost without than with Hawaii. Ifwe accomplish annexation for de-fensive objects we should fortifyour new domain. Wo must, build anavy capable of sustaining it. I amunable to givo figures ns to the costof proper fortifications. That thoexpenditure must be immonso, noono will dispute. In tho event ofwar thore could bo no help withincall to aid tho distressed islanders.A week would bo cousumed intransporting our navy if wo poss-09- 8

a navy. Our coasts aro not nowfortified, notwithstanding years ofeffort. Even Now York and SauFrancisco are insufficiently guarded.As for our navy, Admiral Walker,boforo the Souato Committee onCoast Defences, describod tho situ-ation, when ho said, that if theEnglish should engage us theywould probably capture or destroyour navy, aud that, by putting allour vessels behind Sandy Hook, wecould make something of a fight forthat placo, but that nothing wouldprevent the foe from raiding thowhole coast. Whilo we aro voryslowly increasing our naval strongth,our leading European competitorsare acting with more alacrity. Ourdisparity as regards at least Eng-land and Franco is hourly booomiugmoro and moro evident.

If no must go into tho foroign ac-quisition business no should, forquite a period, spend not lees thanono hundred million dollars per yearfor naval purposes, aud almost anequal sum for coast dofencos. Woaro not prepared to commit our-solv- es

to such idiocy. Thore arosome who think that wo can preparefor war within twoty-fou- r hours,Muuh timo must be consumed inbuilding evou ono war vessel; anda h gun cannot bo easily turn-ed out in less thau eighteen mouths.It will take General Flaglor threeyears from tho beginning of hiswork to complete tho h can-non which is being manufactured,aud which will, I triiBt, prove to botho mo3t powerful ouginn of destruc-tion over doviqud.

If, unhappily, wo shall engage inforoigu contontion, where will theonomy strike? Manifestly whore hocan inflict tho severest injury, Howill not assail tho Muir Glacier, norwill ho direct his armies or naviesagainst tho leper settlement of Mo-loka- i.

Boston, Now York, San Fran-oisc- o,

and other seaports will bo de-cidedly interested in tho ovout of aoouflict with a groat naval Power.If Sau Franoisoo wore attacked afterannexation, would our batteries atHonolulu bo offoctivo? Would ourbattle-ship- s stationod thore aid us?But it is urged that England, incase of trouble, may seize Honolulu,and that tho Japanese may do so.England clearly will not operatoagainst us from Honolulu. Sho hasa veritablo Gibraltar at Esquimaulton tho Washington boundary. Whyshould alio divert and divido horstrength by pormitting hor guns andships to rust two thousand milesfrom hor enemy, especially whonsho iasploudidly oquippodat a pointwithin sight of the smoke of our ci-vilization! For more thau fortyyoara England has douiod any hos-tility to Hawaii.

"How about Japan?" I am asked.Japan surnly doos uot intond to attack us. She, as well aB Great Bri-tain, explicitly disclaims any auohpurposo, I havo no fear of difficul-ty there, Considerations too Hum-orous to montiou mako auoh an oc-currence highly improbable. But ifit shall be othorwiao and Japan shalltake Hawaii, she will not thereby bo

onablod to assail the United States.To reach Honolulu from Japan

a vojago of ovor thirty-si- xhundred miles, aud tho Islands aronot ,on tho Amoricau-Orieuta- l sail-ing route. The capturo of Hawaiiwould bo a foolish enterprise forany antagonist of the United Statos.It is palpable that we could uothold tho Hawaiian Islands, if thoonomy found it desirable to possessthem (aU unlikely hypothesis), with-out vast outlay and without weaken-ing our home defences. If we con-structed impregnable forts thereand mounted theroon hundreds ofmodern cannon, we Bhould be loftalono in our grandeur without anyonomy to dofeat, or anything parti-cularly valuablo to protect. OurHonolulu aruiieswould bo as lonolyas was Robinson Crusoe. If we aroto defend ourselvos, wo must do soat homo: Why should wo soek thoSouth Pacific in order to secure ourcoasts?

I havo heard that the possessionof tho Hawaiian Islauds rneaus thocontrol of the North Pacific. I ad-mit that the nation possessing thisgroup may dominate tho North Pa-cific; but such dominauoy will notIn any manner dopoud upon tho oc-cupancy of these spots in tho ocean.Tho subjection of tho North Paci- -fio depends upon the naval prowessof contending nations. Tho mostvaliant army stationed in Hawaii,and possessing the boat equipmentand unlimited supplies, cannot ruletho North Pacific without an unri-valled naval forco. Tako the caseof England, now tho leading seaPower. Dons that Empire need theHawaiian Islands, located near thotwentieth degree of north latitude,when sho is the possessor of ar magni-ficent fortification at Esquimault,situnto close to tho fiftieth dogrooof north latitude?. That dofonce isfar more offoctivo as a controllingelemont, bo far as tho North Paoifio

Ms concerned, tnau would ue anyconstruction at Honolulu. Tho en-thusiastic advocates of annexationforgot that the North Puoifio mustyield to ships of war, and that anation possessed of all the islauds inthe South Pacific would not,

of such possession, commandtho seas there or elsewhere.

It is averred that wo shall needtho Islauds wheu we construct thoNicaragua Caual. Wo are advisedthat wo cannot otherwise properlydofond that work. The suggestionsalready mado dispose of this pre-teuc- o.

If wo make and own the Ca-nal wo must fortify its approaches.Tho westorn terminus would not bohotter protoetod by guns mountedat Hawaii than by those whichguard tho Goldon Gate. Our bat-tleships can bo dispatched from Ca-lifornia to Nicaragua more speedilythau from Honolulu. Nor wouldtho proseuco of au enemy at tho lat-ter point imperil tho Caual. A foecau reach our shores without touch-ing at Honolulu; and, as I havo said,if wo arrango mattors so as to makoit uncomfortable thero for an enemy,he will tako another courso and thussteer clear of us. Tho importantnaval Powers havo numerous posses-sions in and on the Pacific.

But it is urgod that wo must havoa coaling-atatiou- , and that, there-fore, annexation is dosirable, PearlHarbor is ours: if wo dosiro to forti-fy it, to drodgo it, to make t useful,wo may do so; and a eoalinb'-atatio- nwill thus bo provided without an-nexation, Such a static" " rtould bounnecessary in times oi peace; andin tho event of war coal should boprocurable upou tho usual Hues ofoommoreo. n we aro to nave t coaling--station in tho mid-Pacifi- c,why not fix it in tho Aloutiangroup? No vessel engaged in

commerce plies any-where near our South-se- a nojghbors.

If those of our oouutrymon whoare belligerently inolined roally in-tend to stir up a fight with Eng

land, why not provide for tho pro-tection of an eligible Aleutian island,and from thence prey upou thoenemy's commerce? Our trado isquite safe in any oveut. Wo arowithout ships; and, under prevailinglegislation, wo aro likely, I rogrot tosay, to continue deficiont in thatdirection. I havo no apprehensionof difficulty with England, nor

with any nation. Our busi-ness relations with tho formidablePowers aro too close to permit war.Tho disasters which would bo visitedupon Eugland iu the event of astruggle with tho Unitod Statos arepalpable. She could not inflict injuryupon any of tho property of thoUnited States without involving her-self in financial losses beyond estim-ation. Japan is busy developing hermanufactures and her newly acquir-ed domain. She is acting judiciouB-ly- ,

and la likely to preaervo hor tem-per, notwithstanding the atrociousdiscriminations of the Diugley Bill.Tho effort to mako our people o

that Japan proposes to toizeHawaii comes from tho cuto pro-moters of annexation.

It said that annexation should befavored because Americans haveparamount interest in Hawaii. Thisargument was made with referenceto tho Transvaal by tho outerprisiuggentlemen who tried to run ovor tho'jKruger government. Theyhwe hadan opportunity to reflect upon thoimpropriety of attempting to man-age affairs without thoir jurisdic-tion. I am confident that the mis-sionaries who Bottled iu Hawaii didbo disinterestedly. It is uot likelythat it was their purposo to sweeptheir converts from power aud con-vert thoir property lucri cauta. Itwould be uujust to attiibute to themthe commercial immorality which8ubsequoutly ovoutuated. No soltlerin any country is justified in sub-verting the government by whosefavor he entered, merely becausesuch subversion will add to his pro-fit. Such is one of tho excuses underwhich doBpotB have confiscated audassassinated. It suggests tho claimsof arrogant wealth when tramplingupou impoverished inorit. It is theargument of might against right, ofbarbarism agaiuBt civilization. Ourbrethron who wont to tho HawaiianIslands embarked in ventures uudora government which did uot deriveits authority from them nor exist bytheir consent. Matters have soohanged that the native Hawaiianwho put his property into the busi-ness which followed tho coming ofthe progressive foreigner uamo outwith tho experienao, and tho oner-goti- c

visitor got the wealth. Thoaoted iu a manner to oxcito

tho disapproval of American resid-ents. She was thereupon captured;and, as the outcome of Americanvalor, the Islands wore subdued andtho Ilopublio established.

It endures in defiauco of the willof tho govornod; aud tho vory intel-ligent and positivo American-H- awaiian citizens, numbering less thantwo thousand males, who establish-ed tho prevailing oligarchy, havetoudored to the Unitod States acountry whioh they hold by con-quest, aud whose inhabitants, nativoto tho soil, and universally educatediu tho rudimouts, aro not to be con-sulted as to a compact whioh meanstho obliteration of nationality.

Several powerful natious of modern times, rulod upon tho monar-chic plan, havo seized territory forcommercial reasons aud bocauso ofsympathy with resident subjects.But wo cannot justify ourselves upouany sucu grounu. jno suon

from our traditions audtheories can bo for a moment legitimatoly tolerated. Tho role of thedespot is unBiiitod to tho Amorioau.

It is argued that our commorcuwith Hawaii is so important that wocannot afford to risk outside- intor-foreno- o.

That wo havo valuabletrado thore is plain, It ia also clear

that largo profits have been madoby prliea who have taken advaut-nt;- o

of Hih relations of the lslaudR tothe United Statos. Mr. Spalding,who has been iu Hawaii siuce 18G7,and is a loading sugar-produce- r, re-marked, beforo tho Souato Com-mittee, as follows:

"What we want is to mako some-thing out of the country; mako ex-penses out of tho country. It is nota commercial, agricultural, manu-facturing, or minoral producingcountry; it has no resources, uoavailable resources; nevor has had.All thiB prosperity has come fromthis reciprocity treaty with thoUuited States."

Tho sanio gentleman also tesifledthat he would uot havo remainedin tho Islands had it not boon forreciprocity; that prior to that allplantation owners had failed.

Mr. Alexander has certified thatrice can bo profitably' produced inHawaii, and that tho orango andbanana flourish. I havo tho authori-ty of au ardent annexationist thatthis statement is rather overdrawn;but Miuister Stevens, in his letter ofNovember 20, 1S92, tolls SecretaryFoster tha. "sugar-raisin- g on thsoislands can be continued only by thecheapest possible labor that of theJapanese, the Chinese, and Indiancoolies," a cheerful outlook for the

"American whito laborer. Mr. Stevenswrites to Secretary Fo3tor that or-ange1', lemons, piupapples,and grapescan and will be successfully grownin tho event of annexation. How achaugo of government can add totho productive capacity of the soil,may bo soman hat difficult to explain.

The above, 1 think, supports thoconclusion that annexation is notuoc'tfcsnry for I he preservation of ourtrpdo. Common business sense dic-tates that a properly framed treaty

not tho jug-handl- o affair now inforce, which ever' disinterested per-son admits should bo changed, buta really reciprocal engogomontwill biing all desirable Hawaiianoommerce to tho United States.Tho Hawaiian Islands will dealwith us because their interestsmake sunh a course uocossary.Imporativo considerations willcontinue this status. Tho manhas not yet been hoard from whocan show that annexation will bringto the Unitod States any advantagewhioh will not be enjoyed as tho re-sult of our ofton delared polioy,everywhere conceded, inhibitingforeign interference, and of thomaking of a sensible and cquitablotreaty. Tho citrus-frui- t producersof the Unitod States and those en-gaged iu boot-sug- ar production havono causa to rejoice nt tho cheaplabor competition whioh must followannexation. This, howovor, is aminor matter,

Thero aro other vital objectionsto tho validity of tho proposedcession of tho Hawaiian Islauds tothis govornmont "of the peoplo andby tho peoplo." Our polioy ia audalways has boon opposed to sunh in-vestments, Washington spoke oftho advantages of our "dotaohedaud distant situation," and said," "lis our true polioy to steer olorof pormanout alliances with anyportion of tho foroign world." Mr.JVffersou, who favored tho annex-ation of Cuba, said iu n loiter writ-to- u

to Prosident Madison, A'f.il-2- 71809- :-

"tt will bo objected to our receiv-ing Cuba that uo limit can thou hodrawn to our future acquisitions.Cuba cau be defended by us withouta navy; aud this develops the principlewhinh ought to limit our views. Noth-ing should evir be accepted which wouldrequire a navy to defend it."

S orotary FroliughuyEou, in a uototo Mr, Lnngaton, dated June 20,1883, fays:- -?

"Tho polioy of (his Goverumeut,as delared on mnuy occasions in thopast, has toudod toward avoidance ofpossessions disconnected from the maincontinent, Had tho teudeuoy of tho

(Juitetl States boon to extend terri-torial domain boyoud tons opportu-nities havo not b'en wanting tooffeut auoh a purpose, wluithor ontho coast of Africa, in tim V--Indios, or in the South Pacific "

Ho also wrolo to the same inin-isto- r:

"A conviction that a fixed policy,dating back to thn origin of our

Govornment,wns considerod to mako it inexpedient to attomplterritorial aggrandizement whichwould require maintenaiKO b) anaval force iu excess of any yet pro-vided for our national ueo3, has lpdthis Govornmont to decline, terri-torial acquisitions. Even as simjrtecoaling-station- s, buch territorial acqui'sitions would involve responsibility

their utility. Tho United Statediaas nevor doomed it needful to theirnational life to maintain impregna-ble fortresses along tho world'shighwayB of commerce."

Socrotary Shorman, whoso partiei-pano- yin the present scheme has not

failed to excite surprise, concludeshis "Recollections" with the follow-ing remarks:

"The oventspf the future aro dthe visio'n of mankind; but I

hopo that our pooplewill be coutoutwith intornal growth, and avoid thecomplications of foreign acquisi-tions. Our family of States n al-ready large enough to create embar-rassment in tho Senate; and a re-public should uot hold dependentprovincos or possessions Everynew acquisition will croate embar-rassments. Canada and Mexico asindependent republics will bo morovaluable to tho Unit ,'d States thanif carved into additional States. TheUnion already emb'-u-- os disuordantoloments enough without addmgothers. If my lifo is prolougod 1will do all I can to add to thestrength and prosperity of tlioUnited States, but nothing to d

its limits or to add now dangersby acquisition of foroigu territory."

President McKinley, in Imb nlAddress, warned us against

the temptation of territorial aggres-sion.

Heretofore wo have followed therulos thus laid down. Our extonsionof territory has boen on tho main-land, and with tho oxcoption ofAlaska, the added property baa boencontiguous. Wo entered into atripartite agreuniout with Englandand Germany whereby wo aid inmaintaining a miserable counterfeitof regal greatness in authority atSamoa. This compact between tholeading republic of tho world andtwo empires to force a barbarianruler upon a protesting rnco wasaud is absurd enough. (Mr. Cleve-land, to his credit, attempted to

us of this folly; but tho legis-lative "spirit of conquest" renderedhis efforts utile.)

If wo annex Hawaii, tho next raovowill involvo Samoa, diataut fourthousand miles. I am aware thatSecretary Maroy encouraged thoannexation idea; but his ambitiousviows did not convinco tho Amor-ioa- n

people and wero regarded asvisionary. Nor did ho have beforehim tho domestic problems which atthis hour challenge the supremeconsideration of the ablest Americanpatriot.

President MeKiuloy's Inauguraloontaina this suggestion:

"A grayo peril to tho Republicwould be a citizenship too iguornntto understand or too vicious to ap-preciate tho groat value and bene-ficence of our institutions and laws;and against all who come hero tomake war upon them ourgatos mustbo promptly and tightly oiosod."

Thoro is ample evidence that thonatiyo Hawaiians aro possessed of

''educational qualifications covoringat least the primary brauohosj but

these attainments aro not demon-strative of their ability to diBnlmrpntl.o duties of American citizenship,although thoy ;nv luilllcienl to olo-vai- o

them far a' ovo the degradationwhich they suffer at tho hands ofthoe who ignore thoir just demands.Tho mental discipline-t- o which thenative Hawaiian has beou for many3 oars subjected certainly entitleshim to a hearing when his civilrights aro threatened. It does not,howover, follow by any moans thatthis right of consideration moanstho possossiou of tho moutnl audmoral faculties esseulinl to tho pro-parl- y

equipped American ci'-znt-While I beliovo tho ovidouee tendsto show tho incompetency of thena'ivo Hawaiian to meet tho require-ments of our citizenship, it is never-theless clear that ho is uot a savageor a slave; and tho laud of his birtlishould not bo disposed of withouthis concurrence.

Captain' Duttou, of tho UnitedStates Ordnanco Department, deliv-ered a lecturo under tho auspicesof the Smithsonian Institution iu18SI, wherein he said:

"The economic condition of thoHawaiian is probably superior at thprfut time to that of any nthtrtropical pooplo in tho world; and,on tho whole, I think it quite cafe toay that it is but very little sur-pax'e- d,

if nt all, by that of tho work-ing classes of .America. Ho hasevon more to eat aud better food,plenty of boof, pork, and fish, andcould have au abundance of flourif ho desired it, but ho prefers histaro. FJo owus his property in fee,he makes laws and executes thorn,he reads and writes, ho ha but onowife; ho tills the soil aud tendsflecks; sometimes ho accumulateswealth, aud sometimes lie does uot;ho makoR his will in duo form, diesand receives a Christian burial; inno laud iu the world Is propertymoro secure."

Mr. Spalding informs un that arepublic would not be a good formof govemmout for tho people ofHawaii. Ho told tho Senate Com-mittee that the natives "arolikoapood many in the United Statebetter governed thau governing,"and tostifiod as follows:

"I hnvo already said that a repub-lican form of government would notbo suitable for that people. Thatis an independent form of govern-ment. You might, for instance, ifthe Hawaiian Islands were a part oftho State of California, do very well.I think they would soud two or threeor four Representatives to the StatoCapitol who would bo equally

with tho Representativessont from tho present counties iuCalifornia." s

Tho general tonor of tho testimonytaken by tho Souato Committee is,that, notwithstanding the ability oftho natives to read aud writo, thoycould not maintain a republic ButI repeat, this stato of affairs doesnot authorize tho United States, norany other Power, to iguoro tho do-Bir-

of those islanders as to thoform of thoir government. Thoywero contented and prosperous be-fore tho oligarchy. Tho iueompo-tonc- y

of tho Japaueso and Chinesepopulation, consisting of about forty-si- x

thousand souls, will not bo con-troverted. Wo have stringent lawsexcluding Chinese from the UuitedStates, and after much trouble wosucceeded iu negotiating a troatyvirtually ratifying tho Geary law;aud our policy of exclusion has boonenforced with comparative success.Our people, especially those whotoil, aro opposed to tho introduc-tion of pervilo Asiatic labor. I amaware that tho troaty under considoration provides "No Chinese,by reason of anything herein con-tained, shall 1)0 allowed to enter thoUnited Stales from tho HawaiianIsland?." The result of this pecu-liar provision is problematical. ThoStato Department repudiates thoobligation of Hawaii to Japan. Ifthis viow is correct, may it not bothat the Chiueso residents of Hawaiiafter annexation, being withiu theUnited States, will enjoy rights nowparticipated in by thoir brethren inI ho various Statos? At all ovonts,tho faot remains that Hawaiian an-nexation means au addition to thepopulation of tho United States ofmoro than twouty-on- o thousandOhinoae and moro than twonty-fou-rthousand Jnpanoso. Tt is truo thatJapan has lately advaucod astonish

-- u, .

ingly; but. her laborers (of tho olasemployed in Hawaii) are distastefulto us. We no not care to compotewitii them.

Bitter hostility must anno fromthis incorporation of about ono-quarte- r

as many Chinamen as nronow withiu tho United States. Dowo need suuh a racial contribution?Will this now contact improve us?Will the introduction of these incon-gruities add to our honor or to ourBtrougth? Wo nro daily seeking toperfect our immigration laws aud toraise the standard of citizouship.Tho annexation proposition involvesa wholesale infusion of deleteriousconstituents aud ngoncies. ThoUnited Stntes contain many who arenot thoroughly advised concerningtho responsibilities of democracy.Havo wo not enough to commandour attoutiou hero at home? Wo arebusy. Fiscal problems, questions ofa basic character, compel our attou-tiou. Aro we prepared to instil intotho scattered tribes of tho oeoau thephilosophy of free government?Can we educate all men iu the teuotsof truo republicanism? Tho highesttype of manhood is requisite to thopermanency of republic. Despot-isms may for a time got along with-out general diffusion of knowledge;but n republic depends upon theability, integrity, and liberty-lovin- gdisposition of tho masses. A mino-rity only of tho human family is fit-ted for solf-rul- Hawaiian aunox-atio- n

would not stimulate our intel-ligence, patriotism, or power. Noris it auy answer to these observationslo aflirm that tho destruction of anon assimilative race will relievo usfrom peril. Such an argument isthe defence of tho conqueror. Thispowerful republic) should not stifletho protests of those who aro "to themanor born." Wo staud in thopreseuco of internal dangers graveenough to warn us of tho impropriel'of seeking new perils. Elements ofdiscord exist in tho United States.Conflicting interosis come lo thosurface daily. Tho American peoploare divided at this mouiout as toleading finauoial problems. Thoroin moro thau oue experiment on trial.While I am confident of our nblityto meet all exigencies, I do not bo-lie-

it wise to eeok now embarrass-ments.

Thoro aro many Americans who,whilo holding that annexation isdi'oirablo, aro unwilling tocooporatoiu a movotnent which moans thoannihilation of a nation's consent.Tho proposed troaty mentions thoRepublic; of Hawaii. This is a mis-uomo-

A ruemhor of the Hawaiiande facto judiciary has lately beouquoted as stating that the govern-ment of which he is a part is reallyau oligarchy. This is tho truth.Mr. Stevens, through whoso promo-tion ofthe revolution the allegedHawaiian Republic was established,delivered a leoture, roported iu thn'Boston Journal" of November 23,1893, in which ho declared that theannexation issue ought not lo bodocidod by popular voto bocauso thoresult would bo antagonistic toAmerican interests, In other words,tho theory is that the nativos, whounderstand tho situation thoroughly,but who nro uot, sufficiently aggress-ive to mako good citizens of thoUnited States, ought not to bo per-mitted to voto, because tho result ofsuch nu election would mean theovorthrow of usurpation. Novordid a despot more confidently ox-pre- ss

tho nefarious ground uponwhich ho relied. No moro impudentclaim has beou mado in connectionwith this subjeot thau that whioh iBsubmitted by thoso who avow thatthe higher civilization which thoyrepresent involves the right to seizoand govern, to bargain and sell.

It must be understood that I douot discuss the question of techni-cal authority. I concede, for thosako of argument, that the provi-sions of tho Hawaiian Constitutionauthorize aunoxation, and that ourtitle derived theroform -- would bolegally good. I likewise readilyassent to tho doctrine that, for pur-poses of dicplomaoy, a governmentde facto must be rocoguizod as agovernment do jure But when woaro naked to join in tho obliterationof a government, it is our duty to

YXYanvfwWKnrjwraMvy

oousidor tho propriety of the cession, iand Lot only o look tl the questionof physical ability, but hkM' ixo to 'ascorta'U the preferences of thosewho3o political status is so vitallyinvolved. A ropublic springing fromuniversal dosiro should not accept, adeed of ompiro without rofereuce tojustice I have observed statementsto tho effect that tho fact that theprosout regimo hod boen maintainedfor some years io conclusive of thopower lo negotiate tho pondingtreaty. As I havo said, this is in nsonso true. The President aud Sec-retary of Slate appear to roly uponthis proposition. But when itappears that tho authority of thowould-b- e grantors is based alououpou tho support recoivod fromarmed mon, and that Uiosb whom itis designed to bring within our juris-diction do not wish to couip, I amprepared to ignore tho pretoncos oftho de facto government, so far astho attempt to destroy nationality isconcerned, although I do not hesi-tate to join iu recognizing it for thopurposes of governmental inter-course.

If tho natives are at all capableof comprehending thoir situation,thoy should bo oonsulted: if thoy areutterly incompetent, wo should notbring them in. I will uot discusstho means employed to accomplishtho ovorthrow of tho northo participauoy iu that, coup oftho forcos of tho United States.Suffice it to say that no one hasclaimed that the native Hawaiians,numboriug about forty tlfousaudsouls, over agroed to the government-al change or had anything to dowith tho adoption of tho presentconstitution. As a condition pre-cedent to a voto under tho Hawaiiuact providiug for a constitutionalconvention, the olector was compell-ed lo swear that ho would bear fullallegiauco lo the provisional gov-ernment, and would opposo anyat-tomp- t

to reestablish a monarchy. Up-on complying with this requisite hobecame qualified to vote. The elec-tion was, thereforo, confined to thonarrow precincts within which thosowho couductod tho provisional-governme- nt

moved. Tho natives whotook no stock in that "governmentwere shut out; and tho Bmall butpowerful oligarchy mauagod theeloction to suit tho occasion. Thisprogramme has been followed oversince. A constitution is supposedto be tho very basis of tho govern-ment.

Whon n people elect delegates toa convention called for tho gurposoof framing au organic law, it is ex-pected that tho nature and form ofgovernment will bo. thoroughly dis-cussed aud solved; but the patriotswho now propose to give Hawaii totho United Statos so prOsoribod thoqualifications of the oleotors whochose delegates to tho constitutionalconvention that all opposition wasremoved, and no one not iu sympathywith tho prevailing usurpation wasallowed to ba heard. Tho allegedHawaiian Ropublio is a bogus ropublie. It does not exist pursuant totho will of tho governed, but not-withstanding such will.

STARS STILL SHINE.

St. Loula Tciiin Dofoated iu TonimilnKB

Siturlay'd game of baseball be-tween the St. Louh aud Star teamswas remarkable for several reasonswhich did not apply to previousgames, the most uoticoablo of whichworo, a large audienro, fast play, andbyat Holding of tho season's games;a ton innings game, smallness of thoscore, and a smile which has notillumined Capt. Wildor'a counte-nance for many weeks paBt. Thogamo from start to finish was played"up to dato" and for "blood," "butlittlo money being placed. "Nod"Adams, after a long dolay caused bytho absence of one of the Star play-ers, whoso placo a substitute couldnot be pressed in to fill, walked totho striker's plato and called, "Play,"thus introducing himself to theladios as tho umpiro. A clerical-lookin- g

gen Ionian, carrying a pon-derous tome, was rpcoguized asScorer Blaokley, who, after beingBoated, signified tho correctness ofthe batting lists and judged thatthe St. Louis should go first to thobat, and the came wont thus:

Iu the first tho St. Louis got agoose egg, Thompson aud Clarkfailing to rMoh first; Aiwohi strik-ing out; Willis aud Gleasou died onbases, Tho Stars by Lishmau gottheir first run, ho striking high toHansmanii, (who muffed) gettingfirst, stealing second aud third, audhomo ou Wilder' hit. Mahuka alsomade a tun, sending the ball by sec-ond getting first, stealing second,aud homo on Pahau s hit. Holtstopped Pryco's fly, and Dayton'sthrow to Gloasoii cut off Wilder,while Hart failed to reach first,This opening for the Star was hailedby the Begiment deputation in thegrand stand with delight.

In tho 2nd: Lemon hit to right,misjudgod by McNichol, and gotthird; Hausmann flied out to Lish-mau a good catch; Holt hit hardto right for two bases, sending Hans-mau- n

home. This was the only runof thu iuuingf, Dayton going out atfirst, and although Holt made adandy steal to third, ho died thero.Thompson going out on threostrikes. For tho Stars, Woods fliedto Willis, Koki out Lemon to Willis,aud McNichol retired on three call-ed strikes.

Iu tho 3rd, tho Stars added an-oth-tally, and also in tho 6th,

whilo tho St. Louis evened up mat-ters by bringing one tally in the 5thaud two in tho 8th. At tho 0th thecontest was oven in score. In thisinning Liahman, with Koki's assist-ance at first, stopped tho hopes ofUansmann aud Holt, whilo Hartnipped tho aspirations of youthfulDayton iu tho bud. The Stars gotWood ou first on balls; Kola struckout; McNichol fell abort of first,Percy Lishmau, in whom tho hopesof tho team wore centerod, hit thoball hard and high well betwooncenter and left, center waB too muchiuGeld and Holt at left looked asgood as 'twonty miles away." Holtsprinted aud ball and his baudsmeet, both at full speod. Lishmanwas out, Wood's laugh iu expecta-tion of touching tho homo plato e

painfully changed, for ho diedhalf-wa- y. Tho applause which greot-o- d

Holt's phenomenal catch, camofrom ovorybody prosent.

And now the 10th: Sinco thotuau-tl- oof "baseball poot" has been taken

by tho Muaes to anothor office, thetale will have to bo told in prose,and to the effeot that Thompson in-terposed his head for tho ball fromwhiah it flow as if it had winga of afowl, aud ho get first for being hit.Holt hit hard to Koki who capturedtho fly. Aiwohi hit to second whichMahuka captured and touchodThompson, who was forced audfurthered his ploy by Bonding theball to Pahau at first, cutting Ai-wohi off. Bight lioro camo a kiakaud a protest to bo settled mahope.Tho newspaper meu woro not told,only this can bo said that had it notbeen for Willis' good ofllcos andjudgment Thompson would nothavo continued his toam in tho field,and by so doing would havo forfeit-ed the game, Tho Stars wout in

and Hart, who might oaidly havobeen out, got a lifo at first by Clark'sfumblo. Hart sped quickly to boo-on-

"Keep regular hours," wo arotold; "night is tho natural time forsleep;" go to bed and rise with thosun;" "nook and loavo your nestswith tho birds." &j. Thora wore al-ways a few sceptics who declaredtboir inability to boo that it raatter-o- d

when one slopl, so long as ho hadonough of it, and ventured to hintthat tltero wore countries wlioro thosun hardly went to bed at all, andthat even in our own elimo he wassomewhat irregular in his hours.Thoy were not much regardod, buta navy doctor now supports themwith certain observations ho madoduring somo years at sea. Amongsailors the hours allotted to Bleeparo always changing. One watchsleops whilo tho othor is on duty,and the watcheB aro arranged thatwhilo one lot men havo their "turniu" beforo midnight ono week, theyhave it after midnight the next.This doctor, who mado a specialstudy of the matter, says he couldnever discover that watch officersand men woro not as fully refreshedby their sleep at one time as an-other, or an medical and pay-office-who stand no watch, and havo earlyand regular sleeping hours.

Tho nose, not tho mouth, is thoorifice through which air should botaken into the lungs. In the courseof its passage, air when breathedthrough tho nose is a littlo betterprepared for tho lungs thau takeniu by the mouth, beiug a little hotterwartuod, and more of the dust andfloating microbes being intercepted.Breathing by the mouth, too, has anasty, drying effect on tho throat.When thn mouth has to be openedto assist tho nose iu supplying tholungs with air, doctors suspect someobstruction iu the nasal passagewhich should bo removed, or somechest weakness that should bo at-tended to. It is not always so, how-ever; the practicoisofton morelythe.resultof habit, whiohcan be correct-ed Medical obsorvorsroport that cycl-ists are often found wheeling withtho mouth open, and say that thissuggests over exertion on tho part oftho riders.
