Tie FIXTURE of Hawaii.


The Indications now arc that Hawaii will
suspend her efforts to enter the American
Union, and will maintain herself for tho
present as an independent republic But she
Will not forego the hope or the expectation
Of some day joining her fortunes with ours
Under future Administration. very likely
under the next Administration. whether IL
be Democratic or Republican, she may bo
welcomed into the fold Of the United States
Meanwhile. she has nothing To fear from the
Democratic party or the Republican party,
or from anything but Clevclandism.
The antipathy, indeed, OF Mr.. CLEVELAND
70 the acquisition OF territory. In the only
opportunity presented or likely to be pre-
sented to him. contrasts strongly with the
policy Of his predecessors. OF whatever
party. JEFFERSON went to the extreme
point OF his authority as President in ac-
curing Louisiana, "scizing the fugitive
occurrence, which 50 much advances the
good Of this country" as he said. lest 1t
should pass and never return. MONROE
threw oil his influence in favor OF the
acquisition OF Florida, the treaty for
chat purpose being signed in 1919 by
the Spanish Ambassador and by JONI
QUINCY ADAMS. who succeeded MONROE as
President. Under TYLER. Congress left It
20 the option of the President whether Texas
should be annexed by treaty, which would
have necessarily given the honor to his sue
cessor. or should be effected by its own reso-
lutions on the subject; and TYLER gladly
accepted the privilege Of communicating
these resolutions at once to tho diplomatic
representative Of Texas. thus leaving to
" hn hah oIr dol nf 10
election as President, only the completion
Of what was theu done. PIERCE eagerly
carried our boundaries further south 10y
the GADsDEN treaty. JOHNSON not only
encouraged Secretary SEWARD In tho ac-
QUESTION OF Alaska. but looked forward to
the annexation OF the Sandwich Islands.
GRANT did his best to acquire st. Thomas
and San Domingo. HARRISON warmly well
coined the plea OF Hawaii for admission to
the Union. and exerted himself to the ut
most for her acceptance. sending n treaty
Tor that purpose to the Senate.
Thus our American Presidents prior to
CLEVELAND. whatever the party they be-
longcd to. have always shown u patriotic
zeal in clearing the path for annexation.
CLEVELAND alone puts obstacles in that
path. He even withdrew treaty for ter
ritorial acquisition which his predecessor
had been able to secure and had laid be-
fore the Senate.
Such being the historical record. Hawaii
Is justified in assuming that with CLEvE-
LAND out OF the way and the course OF
American presidents resumed she can rely
at least on having her cause laid before
Congress by a friendly executive authority.
And that Ia nil she nsks becan 50 the m utrtnl
benefits to be derived will then appeal with
their Legitimate force to the Senate and the
House. Hawaii may we'll wait and hope.

In 1889 the late James NJ. Lyddy formed tho
idea that II he ran for Recorder and got a vote

on the ground that Recorder Sm"tlls term ex-
PRED on the LIST Of January. 1890. Lyddys
ground was that Recorder Smyth was serving
out only the unexpired term of Recorder John
X. Hackett. whom he succeeded In 1879. Lyd-
Gy had q number OF ballots secretly printed
and distributed: but Recorder Smyth s friends
heard Of 1t. and they had ballots printed with
his name on them as a candidate for Recorder.

count was made 1t was found that Recorder
Smyth had beaten Lyddy by 33l votes.

Remember this, II you unfortunately are

II man. lilo may crcditably receive aid.
He may be morally bound to receive aid IL
any one Is dependent on him.
We are prompted to these observations from
learning thatnot few men in these times re-
fuse to be helped in tho way OF charity. They
hate to tako money. and they shrink from
entering the shelters that are offered
to them by the charitable agencies. Their
pride overcomcs their necessities. and they
feel humilnteh at the thought o. q free roof in

The man who touches the hand Of charity may
