WILL BE ANNEXED.

The events of the last two or three days
give reasonable assurance that the Ha-
waiian Islands will soon become part of the
United States. The objections to the an
nexation policy have been brushed aside on
the ground that no adequate alterna-
tive policy has been suggested That
the ISLANDS exist is fact that can
not be disputed; that they occupy
such a position in relation to the
United States that the possession of them
by naval power would be a constant mem
ace to the United States is as little open
10 dispute, and a third self-eyident condi-
ton is that the islands cannot maintain an
independent position among nations. Since
they must 90 somewhere. they must clearly
come to Us. 1t is not likely that any con-
siderable opposition TO annexation will ma
terialize. President Harrison is committed
to annexation, and PTesident-elect Ceve-
land will hesitate before he places himself
in opposition to the force known as manifest
destiny. The greatest intellect the country
has ever produced could not carry any con-
siderable proportion Of the people on his
mo extension Of territory" platform. The
dangers attending annexation are not so
great as may seem al first glance. There is
no more danger that foreign power will
land force on the islands than that like
attack will be made on the Pacific Coast of
the United States. The same flag that pro-
teets one protects the other A hostile
demonstrate toward the islands after an
nexation would be as much an overt act Of
war as though made against San Francisco
or New York

PAUPER IMMIGRANTS.

Premier Gladstone is not prepared TO
prevent the immigration of destitute people
into England while England exports more
OF The same class than she imports Mr.
Gladstone does not seem to regard the re-
striction Of immigration as violating a
principle, but simply as impoltic while the
outgoing tide Is larger than the incoming
tide. At the present time the United States
is the chosen ground of destitute immi-
grants. They go to England from European
countries and crowd out native-born toilers,
who come 10 this country. The reason
for their settling in the United States is
that they can obtain work in this country
by cutting under tie regular rates Of wages.
There is room in Canada, in Australia, in
several South American countries, In Mexico
and Central America, but the immigrants
want something besides room; they want
established industries at which wages can
be earned. The other countries lack these
large industries and consequently their
cheap land does not attract immigrants.
When Mr.. Gladstone expresses his willing
ness 10 make Inquiries as to the American
methods of restricting immigration he ad-
mits the right Of nation to restrict The
only remaining question is one of policy.
IL members of the Caucasian race may be
denied the privilege of immigIatiDg into a
country governed by the same race it would
seem 10 follow that a Caucasian nation
might restrict immigration from nations of
an alien race.

the opinion that the arrest OF the two
British Chinese on the charge OF being He
gally in the United States might lead to
complications between the American and
Canadian Governments. The reason why
the expected complications are limited 10
the Canadian Government, when il is the
British Government that deals with inter-
national questions of this character, may
be found in the fact that one Of Great Brit
aims dependencies deals with Chinese inn
migrants very much as the United States
does. Great Britain. therefore, could not
well complain of an American policy which
is substantially the same as the policy Of
one OF Great Britain's dependencies.
There is little danger that Great Britain
will permit Chinese to use British laws as
as shield under which 10 violate American
laws enacted in the development of set
tied policy. To do so would provoke war
of retaliation which might not end with re-
taliatory measures. Canada subjects Chi
nese to a head-tRx of $50. In so doing she
discriminates between Chinese and immi-
grafton from other countries. The United
States excludes the class of immigrants
which Canada admits upon payment of the
stipulated head-tax. If. therefore. Canada
were allowed TO collect a head-tax from
Chinese. naturalize them and send them
across the border as British subjects, she
would in effect nnllity a law OF Congress.
The complications, therefore, which the
Detroit lawyer anticipate will not arise for
the simple reason that they have fire.

diplomatic graveyard.

POLITICS IN THE SCHOOLS.

The attempt Of city politicians 10 obtain
control Of the patronage Of the School De-
pertinent has been renewed N the shape
Of o small Notwithstanding amendment
30 an appropriation bill repeating section
1898 of the Political Code. Il viii be re-
membered that in 1881, in order 10 prevent
the same class Of politicians from making
merchandise Of appointments Of teachers
in the cOmmons schools, an amendment to
the code was passed providing that ga
teacher elected by city Board Of Educa-
ton without limitation as to time is entitled
to hold the position while competent and
faithful, and can only be dismissed for
violation Of the rules Of the Board OF Edu-
cation, or for incompetency or for unpro-
fessi0nal or immoral Conduct; the object
being to prevent members OF the board re-
moving teachers merely to make places for
Their friends. The amendment appeared to
lie conceived in the right spirit, to be cal
culated TO take the schools out Of politics,
and to secure for them the benefit Of expert
enced teachers. It's validity was tested in
the famous case OF Kate Kennedy. who was
removed without cause, and who subse-
Cuenty, under decision Of Judge Wallace.
which was confirmed by the Supreme Court,
recovered her back salary in fuIl--S5175;
too late unfortunately 10 help der, for,
worn out by her long contest with the poll
tcans, she died soon after she had won her
case.
Bafled in their attempt TO override the
law. tie persons who want TO make mer-
ehandise of teacherships now propose TO
repeal tile law under which Kate Kennedy's
rights were asserted. and unless somebody
takes the pains toexIlain he object Of their
amendment to the code, they are likely TO
succeed. The amendment is offered to a
bill which appears to be unobjectionable On
lis face; and. at first blush. DO one would
be likely to detect its true character.
There is no desire anywhere to permit
the schools 10 get into politics. One Of the
reasons why they are so Efficient is that they
have been. as far as possible. kept out of
politics 1t has been the practice to let the
School Directors fill vacancies as they occur,
each director taking his share Of patronage
in turn, but the present board has changed
the method Of selection. Once appointed,
however, teachers should hold Office during
good behavior, and so long as they con-
tnue to be efficient. II they misbehaYe. or
lose their ability to teach, il is right and
proper that they should be removed after
they have had their day in court. Butitis in
foleTable that really valuable teacher,
who is doing lis or her duty faithfully.
should be displaced to make room for a de-
pendent OF School Director. That would
be carrying the rule Of rotation in Office Il
lis extreme limit Of absurdity.
Somebody at Sacramento should expose
the amendment repeating section 1898 Of
the code and put his foot on it.

THE NEW NATIONAL COMBINE.

Il is not worth while to discuss the eonse-
quence Of triple alliance between France.
Russia and the United States until official
information is given that such treaty has
been agreed upon. The dispatch annOunc-
ing treaty seems TO take it for granted that
such a change Of policy could be made by
the executive and one branch OF the legis-
Iative department Of Government. While
the President and the Senate could agree 10
such a treaty the assent Of the House would
be necessary to carry it into effect. The
whole question would come before the
House on necessary demand for an ap-
propriaton to carry the agreement into
eject. 1t may be admitted, however. that
the rumored treaty is in the line of our
relation with European powers. There is
friendship of more than a hundred years
standing with France, and there is also
cordial feeling toward Russia despite the
despotic character of her government III
we were TO form a treaty of alliance with
any two nations in Europe 1t would be with
fhe two named. But why any alliance at
alp WHY attempt to cut figure In the
canning European war? When that war
comes the United States will step easily
into the position of the greatest commercial
mower in the world. That rank VIII come

A New Luminous Compass.


The luminous compass recently introduced
in the French navy consists of an ordinary
Thompson compass During the day it is
employed in the usual way. but at night a
vertical line Of light is thrown from the
pinnacle light upon the in erior side OF the
compass box, between the card and the
glass by means of combination of lenses
and mirrors. This line is for the time
being. a fixed line, and bears known re-
laton to the direction of the ships keel.
From another combination of lenses and
mirrors above the center Of the card a sec
ond ray OF light Is thrown upon the inte-
rior side of the compass box, and this. after
suitable adjustment, moves around as the
card moves. This line being of different
length is easily distinguishable from the
other. and 1t may be temporarily set so as
to bear any desired relation TO any point on
the card. In steering the helmsman has
simply TO move his wheel so as TO keen the
two luminous lines in the same straight line.
