ANNEXATION NOR PROBABLE.

The withdrawal OF the Hawaiian
treaty by President Cleveland at least
indicates that no further efforts will DO
made for annexation until tho condi-
tons have been thoroughly studied by
the new administration. 1t adds to the
possibility that this will not DO accom-
plished until the natives of tho islands
have expressed a request to abandon
their own government.
Up to this time, the annexation move.
ment appears to have been encouraged
by the sugar planters and foreign ele-
mont alone. That these people repre-
sent the wealth of the islands is con-
coded, and it is likewise apparent that
they possess the intelligence and energy
which have combined to make Hawaii u
land Of more Importance than the say
age kingdoms in that hemisphere. At
the same time, it is to be said that the
natives of that country are in tho vast
majority and are entitled, as a matter of
fairness, to a hearing. Their repre-
sentatives are in control OF the home
legislature; they are descendants of
generations which have maintained for
many years Il representative form of
government, and in the progress Of time
have given ample evidence Of ability
sufficient for the legislation Of their own
people. If, therefore, they decide to
maintain this government in the future,
it is a most serious question whether
the United States can afford to exercise
it's power by compelling the submission
Of these people to annexation. 1t would
certainly result in vast benefits to the
sugar planters who seek to control these
islands and it would be q fine resting
place for job lot politicians, but it seems
pretty certain that all benefits, SO far
as the United States is concerned, can
be arranged through a treaty. The
islands, at the best, would be an en-
cumbrance upon the machinery of our
government. 1t would be far better to
give our time and attention to the de-
velopment of existing sourc rather
than to the solution of many problems
which would be involved through con-
~nection with these remote islands. We
have territories entitled to admission
into the union, and this work has been
too long delayed. Cohesion between
the states should be our policy rather
than the requirement of territory be-
yond present boundaries.
The action OF President C!eveland
shows that the policy of the adminlstra-
ton will consider the simple matter Of
right and wrong in this movement. 1t
is easy enough to take the islands, but
is it right to deprive these natives Of
their w choice in the matter simply
because we have the power? If they
should ask as a body for annexation, the
matter would appear in an entirely
different light, but until they make this
request certainly u government should
not permit itself to seize this land for
the purpose Of conquest.

To The independent:
l road with much interest, in yonr iaaro
OF Sunday last. the condensed report that
you published Of tho new game laws OF
Montana. With one or two trihing excep-
tions as to dates l think tho idcas embod-
led In them are excellent, but a. q means OF
protecting game. II your report Is accurate
and includes all the lava, l do not consider.
they are worth tho paper they are printed
on, for tho simple reason that apparently
no one il appointed to sec that they nre
carried out. l have been hunting in vari-
Gus parts OF Montana for the last nine OF
ten years, 30 can speak from experience,
| and have noticed how in certain localities
game formerly plentiful has almost dlsHp--
pcnrea III that time. /. You want
would suggest that the governor
request each county to appoint a game
warden at q fair SALARY, whoae sole pn' pose
it Is to see that the laws arc carried out.
If ho does his duty half the finea woulu
soon mako his salary a good one. Or course
in some localities infringement OF the laws
may be informed on; but l know of one or
two valleys near good gume bearing hills
where every one hunts irrespective OF close
season. laws, etc., and where the game ia
openly sold and shipped to n certain big
town; in these districts there would GER
tRinly DO no informing. Another point !
should have liked to have seen mentioned
in the law ia TINT no elk, mooae deer or
antelope meat should be exposed in any
store Tor sale at all. At present by saying
such game comes from other states store
keepers can evado the section that relates
to possession. However, that cannot be
altered now; but my suggestion as to game
wynrdsns can DO carried out and. II it Is |
think the new laws will be extremely benz
fetal. Luckily for the southeastern pat
of this state the fact that the National
park is n sanctuary for game Is worth all
the game laws put together.
