GIVE US LIGHT.

On Monday next our taxpayers vote
on the question Of bonding the town to
put in an electric light plant. At the
meetings which have been held for the
purpose of general discussion of the
subject, it was shown from reports
from other towns, that their electric
light plants were being run ut a profit,
and that this profit meant so much less
taxes. Will Middletown after an ex-
perience of number of years go back
to the primitive methods of the past !?
Surely not. With all our boasted en-
ergy and enterprise shall we take a step
backward? Among the very first, if
not the first on the Peninsula to adopt
this system, shall it he said of us that
we have stepped out of the line of wide
awake progressive towns? "Uh it will
make taxes higher,'' is the cry you
hear. Experience does not show this
to be the case elsewhere, and we are sure
it would not be here if the water works
and electric light plant were run in
conjunction. Newark and Milford run
theirs at profit. and Middletown can.
Vote on Monday for electric lights and
lower taxes.

LITERARY OTENiS.

The St. Nicholas for February has
every attraction to make it welcome
visitor in every household; not only en-
joyable and profitable to the young but
to the older ones as well. The opening
story is of life in India, written in
Rudyard KipliDg's pleasing style.
"The Bayhood of Louis XIV" is "a
historical sketch of the romantic life of
the young monarch who became king
of France at four years of age, and it
cannot fail 10 please the boys and girls.
The short stories are bright and pretty.
How Janet did it" gives the advent
ure of a girl on horseback. The story
of Little Peter and the Giantn is also
funny and fanciful. The three serial
stories grow more interesting. The
poems and beautiful illustrations add
much to the beauty of this charming
magazine for The young folks.
The Century for February is full of
delightful reading, and everybody is
eager to peruse its pages. Its arrival
is guarantee for charming mid-winter
evenings around the freside. The
Century takes the reader to far distant
lands, reveals the mysteries and horrors
of the sea, and shows many wonders of
our own land. The frontspiece is
line portrait of Tennyson. Among
other things is sketch of the great
musician LitZ. Some bits of the au-
photography of Salvini and glimpses of
the Worlds Fair at Chicago. The
most notable article is "a Voice from
far Russia" by the secretary of the
Russian Legation at Washington, in
which the relation of Russia to the
Jews and also to her political prisoners
is exi lained. Besides the serial stories
there is all unusual number of short
stories, and every article is interesting
and instructive. The Century should
find place on every library table.

HdWAII4N ANNEXATION.


The annexation of contiguous terri
ritory was one of the first policies OF
this government, and since the inde
rendence of the colonies our boundaries
have been enlarged until they extend
in unbroken line from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. But the annexation OF dist
ant territory while strongly favored
by some. has been equally opposed by
Others; but the policy of the govern
ment has been and is emphatically op-
posed to any foreign power obtaining
control of the island lying near our
coasts, and the United states will not
readily acquiesce to their purchase,
conquest or annexation by any other
nation. The recent revolution in
Hawaii. the dethroning of the Queen,
the establishment of provisional govern
ment. and their desire for annexation,
. appeal strongly to Americans. Ha-
waiian annexation is not new ques-
tion. IN the administration OF Presi-
dent Taylor the subject was agitated.
Then both France and England were
anxious to obtain possession of this
ssgem of the ocean," but the United
States was the opposing power. John
M. Clayton, who was our Secretary of
State, very clearly defined our position
at that time in his letter to our min
lister of foreign affairs, in which he
said sswe do not ourselves covet
sovereignty over them 1.-The Sandwich
Islands) We would be content that
tbey should remain under their
present rulers, but we could
not with indifference allow them to
pass under control of any other power.
And this is still our policy. The Ha-
waiian or Sandwich Islands are situa-
ted In the Pacific ocean about 1000
miles west from southern California,
and are rich in natural resources, and
from a commercial and geographical
standpoint annexation is inevitable.
There is strong sentiment in favor of |
it. Representatives of the revolution
AIRY party are already in Washington to
appeal TO this government, but Presi-
dent Harrison will not give any decis-
tt
ion until he also hears what the Ha-
waiian queens representative, who is
now en- route for Washington, has to
say in the matter. and whether this
Congress is able or not to effect the
it is conceded that initia-
tory steps to that end are already taken.
attitude to this question is
1f interest to us. Not that she desires
20 possess Hawaii, but that she rather
objects to our having it. British tenure
IN the Western hemisphere is becoming
more and more uncertain. and it is pro-
oable that Hawaiian annexation would
rive an impulse to Canadian annexation
which is also inevitable. Naturally
England is not favorable to our enlarg-
ng our domains at her expense, and the
questions that arise at
his point are full of interest
