The Hawaiian Trouble.

The English papers endeavor to make it
appear that the revolution in Hawaii was
brought about by the American residents.
The English would like that impression to
be entertained. There seems to be pretty
good ground for saying, however, that the
action that was taken by the queen looking
70 the adoption of "a new constitution that
would increase her power and disfranchise
4 all persons of foreign birth was inspired by
the English residents They have been
favored by the queen ever since she has
been the head of the government She does
not like the Americans, and has not taken
any trouble TO hide her hostility 10 them.
IL the revolution was indirectly the result
Of English intrigue it is eviden: that Eng
land would never consent TO the annexa-
tion scheme proposed by the provisional
I government. IA fact, she would agree to
nothing, il she could help it, that did not
1 give her control Of the islands.
The vast Importance Of TIE islands is we'll
understood. They are virtually the key to
the North Pacific. They are Of greater i'm
| portance to this country than to any other.
/ The rapidly developing states On the Pacific
| coast are. in large measure. dependent
upon them IN their trade with Asiaiic
! countries.
| American interests on the islands
are far greater than any other. 1t
is estimated that nearly $4,000 600 Of
American money is invested in them,
chiefly in sugar and rice plantations. These
plantations were extremely profitable until
the Mckinley tariff went into effect, be-
cause Hawaiian sugar was admitted free of
duty, and, hence, got the benefit of pro-
lection prices Ever since the enactment Of
the Mckinley law there has been growing
desire for annexation to this country.
The islands have an area of about 1000
square miles, and a population of about
5000. This number includes 1900
Americans and 500 English, German and
French residents; also 20,OO0 Japanese and
1900 Chinese In the cities the natives
amount to very little. In the country they
still retain much Of the strength and vigor
OF their ancestors and are excellent laborers
However it is thought to be only question
OF time when the natives will disappear
from the island altogether Disease and
drink are rapidly thinning their ranks.
The commissioners Of the provisional gov
eminent sent to this country to bring about
annexation will arrive next Friday. They
will, of course, be shown the consideration
to which their position entitles them, but it
is by no means certain that they will be en-
couraged to think they will be successful in
their mission. Important as Hawaii ia to
this country, it is doubtful if it would be
advisable TO acquire control Of 1t by an
nexRtion. At the same time, we cannot
permit England or any other country to
control it. As the MORNING NEWS said
when it w0s announced that provisional
government had been Established and
desired annexation, the question pre-
sented by the annexation proposition is one
that cannot be acted upon hastily Il is
fun of difficulties, and If not handled with
great care will lead to international oompi;-
cations

One reason why county fairs. picnics and
like gatherings, that were once the delight
Of both town and country, have lost in popu-
larity is that for the last few years design
ing politicians have taken advantage OF the
occasions 70 preach politics and class pre-
JUDGE. But that is no reason why Thomas
county or any other county cannot have a
fair. Indeed, Thomas county ought TO have
fair, and a great one. Aud the man who

Not Made to Resist Great Storms.
The worlds Columbian fair buildings
were not made to resist great storms The
recent heavy fall of snow in Chicago dam
aged them many thousands of dollars. The
manufacturers building alone suffered to
the extent of 100000. The roof of the
building was not strong enough to hold the
immense quantity of snow that rested upon
1t, particularly after the rain had greatly
increased the weight OF it.
The part OF the roof that gave away was
the glass aud light iron work. The great
spans of the central arch proved to be
strong enough Machinery hall is not the
only building that is damaged. The agri,
cultural and transportation buildings have
several bad breaks in their roofs, aud are
otherwise injured by water that leaked
through the crevices made by the weight OF
snow upon their roofs.
The work Of repairing the damages IL
going on, but it will be some time before it
is finished. In fact, it will take several
days to shovel the snow Off the roofs, and,
in the meantime, other breaks will likely
occur.
The buildings are constructed for sum-
mer weather. The possibility Of heavy
snow storms during this winter does not
seem to have been taken into account The
contractors who put up the buildings, and
who were counting on big profits, are not in
a happy frame Of mind. Before they re-
pair the damage that has already been done
their profits will not appear so attractive
as they did . few weeks ago. However, the
buildings will be restored and the fair will
go on just as If no damaging snow storm
had occurred

A sarcastic republican in Illinois has sent
an old wooden leg to Representative Hol-
man, chairman of the committee on appro-
priations, who recently led en- attack on
the law providing for the purchase of new
wooden legs for ex-soldiers every three
years, or allowing them the value of such
new leg in cash. The venerable economist
may make use of the leg in a very different
manner from that intended by the donor,
who says it was purchased out of the first
appropriation ever made for the purpose
and had been worn up to a comparatively
recent date. If this is true, the old leg will
show that there Is no need of new one
every three years, that a good leg will last
five to eight years.

"a Step Toward Pension Reforms.
From the Baltimore Sun (Deml

FROM me Baltimore Sun (Denl.l
The subcommittee of the appropriations com.
mittee of the House, TO which the pensions an
preparation was referred. has completed it's
task and has some reforms TO offer along with
its pension figures. IL inaugurates welcome
ovement for the restriction of pensions to
proper persons The subcommittee proposes
that a commission shall sit during the recess of
congress to examine the pension roll and elmi-
nate improperly allowed pensions So much
for the future. The immediate reforms pro
posed are these: To cancel the pensions of
pensioners living abroad VINO are not actually
disabled: to pay no pension under the depend
ent pension act to any one capable of earning a
living or having an income of 5000; to pay no
widows pension to widows who married
soldiers after 1870 The equity OF these pro
visions is apparent. They lead to the true prin.
ciple, which is that only those men who did real
service incurred disability in the line of duty
and really need help should be supported out Of
the hard earnings Of the y ope.
