them the issue is very doubtful. At the

This store is the most APP

an exposition pertaining to
Linens. Here is assembled
the greatest stock Of personal
and domestic Linens accessi-
bic to the retail buyer in all
the world. The consumer gets
all the advantages Of the great
est trading. This means the
least prices and the largest
choice.
Our Linens are strictly flax
all flax. Cotton, jute and
ramie are equally excluded
from combination with flax in
our stock. Our experts know
flax and linen. Neither ignor-
ance or cupidity are permitted
to destroy their hdellty to
flax. We think this cannot be
truthfully said Of any other
great stock Of Linens in this
country. Some smaller stocks
are controlled by pure flax
principles.

to work out its proper results. The obvious
course was to wait quietly and patiently
and let the islands fiji! up with American
planters and American industries until
they should be wholly identified in bust
ness interests and political sympathies
with the United States. It was simply,
matter of waiting until the apple should
ripen and fall.
ACnECK TO THE WAITING POLICY.
Unfortunately, nothing was done BY
Congress in pursuance of this easy, legitl-
mate and perfectly feasible process OF ac-
QUESTION. Even the proposition to lay n sub
marine cable to Honolulu was put aside.
In his message of December Sd, 1858, MT.
Cleveland strongly recommended this
work rs means of strengthening the ties
of commercial intercourse and increasing
our natural influence. IN the vast field OF
Oriental commerce now untolded from our
Pacific borders, said he no feature pre-
sents stronger recommendation for Con-
gressional action than the establishment OF
communication by submarine telegraph
with Honolulu. In letter 10 Mr.. Merrill.
our minister to Hawaii, in July, 1887 ]
said: The vast line of our national terri
tory on the Pacific coast and its neighbOr-
hood TO the Hawaiian group, indicate the
recognized prcdominanGe Of our lnlero9tS
in the region of these islands, The laying
of the proposed cable might have been
effected at less than the cost of man of
war and would have been Of immense
benefit, as another artery of cnmmunica-
tion, IN bringing the islands closer to US.
commercially and politically. We had the
steamships, we had the land, and were
quietly floating towards q permanent rea-
ton when the Mckinley bill, by its abOli-
ton Of sugar duties, struck sudden blow
at the commercial prosperity we had los
tered.
ACTION rEECtPITATED.
1.-THE consequence OF this unlooked.for
change, materially imparing the effect of
our treaty, has been to bring the Hawaiian
sugar planters to distress and apparently
TO precipitate q demand for anneGati0n.
The question is whether the apple is ripe;
in other words, whether American com.
mercial interests have developed TO such a
point as 70 make absorption logical and
practicable, with the full consent OF the
l1awaiians, or whether it shall be under
taken against the protests of an unwilling
people. Against us there is evidently a
large British influence there. Under the
treaty of 1878, extended in 1857, we have
still some two years during which we
possess the right to say that the islands
shall not pass into the possession of any
other power.
If certainly feel that those islands ought
to remain either in the control of the
islanders or III our own control We have
already placed ourselves on record as as
sorting the supremacy of our rights and
our Interests there. England and Frances

Before passing any of the numerous
charters for suburban electric railways,
would it not be well for the Legislature
to insert provisions prohibiting any Of
the companies from having grade cross
ingsS Travel on our country roads is
too dangerous now, by reason Of the
many grade crossings of the steam rail
roads, and 10 allow these proposed new
roads, or any of them, to cross at grade
would only add to the existing danger
and discomfort.

was turning out silver for nothing. In
our view 1t makes no difference to the
price of silver whether the man who
does not produce silver digs in barren
ground or simply plays poker, but we
have no dispute with those who hold
the contrary opinion, any more than
with those who differ from us as to the
use Of the Greek accents.
