ANNEXATION OF HAWAII.

|
publican lingo policy not to b
tolerated. 1t is needless to sa,
that this view of the matter is no
taken by the best minds in tn
Democratic camp, such forinstauc,
as Morgan of Alabama, Bayard o
Delaware, Whitney of New York
and others of that character. Sc
far as this charge Of Republican
iingOism goes it can web be dis
missed as having no real Demo
cratic foundation, SO long as it is
shared by the ablest Democratic
statesmen. No doubt the hue and
cry Of the small fry Democracy
| arises from their mistaken idea
that the president is opposed to
this annexation, because he has
withdrawn the treaty from the
Senate. This is a haSty
conclusion and one not war
ranted by the facts. At the
the time the treaty was sent to the
Senate by Mr.. Harrison there was
a deep impression among the Re
publican leaders that the move
ment was hurried; that time
enough was not at the disposal of
the government in which to make
the necessary enquiry, and that in
any event the matter of the acQui-
SitiOn of foreign territory should
be referred to the whole Congress
instead Of only to the Senate. There
is scarcely a doubt that had this
Hawaiian proposition been made
one year ago a commission
would have been sent to
the islands to make enquiries,
tabulate statements and present
actual facts to the administration
before any message was sent to
congress- inns action would not
have indicated any hostility to the
annexation Of Hawaii, nor does this
of Cleveland. There is no doubt
that Mr.. Cleveland recognizes tn"
importance OF our maIntaIng con-
troll of Hawaii commercially, his
previous acts as Prcsid"nts show
that he not only does this
but is ready on all proper Oca-
sionS to strengthen our hold upon

THE REPORT WAS FALSE.

The ban Has Not Been Removed From
Secret Societies by the Catholic Church.
The recent publication that the Catholic
church has removed the ban from all Sc
cret societies except Free Masonry, proves
to be untrue. The paper set forth that
the removal of the ban was decided upon
by the archbishops of the United States at
n secret conclave held a month ago in Chi
cago, that the Baltimore. council held
some time ago authorized the corps of
archbishops to decide the matter.
Archbishop Williams says verbatim
about the alleged decision. Il have not
heard of it and l think 1 should have if
any such decision had been reached. Oh,
no; nothing of the sort has occurred
When asked if he thought such con-
clave might have done what the papers pub
lished in regard to lifting the ban from all
secret societies, except the Masons, the
archbishop answered:
No. The church would not do that,
and. in my opinion will :never do it. 1t is
against its principles. have not seen the
report of the conference at Hortford, and
in fact you are the first to tell me that
such question was raised. You will find
there is nothing in it. Probably someone
wrote the report for the papers who was
misinformed. I will use no harder terms.
Put it down as entirely false.

FILLED With German earn.

NIANTIC Nov 16.-During repairs on the
dam holding in check the water of small
pond near the houses of the Mantle Ice Co
which were begun Monday, it was dis
covered that the pond was swarmed with
thousands of genuine German carp of all
sizes and weights. In February of last
year Calvin S. Davis and Charles Cone,
both of this place, secured from Fish Com
missioner Eugene Blaekford of New York
case of genuine German carp. The
little fish were not over an inch and
half in length The fish were
emptied into the pond, for the
purpose of stocking it with this choice
variety of fish. Old fishermen hereabouts
laughed loud and long, calling the fish
fry, pollywogs, etc. The matter was for
gotten until Monday, when Mr. Davis sent
men to repair the dam above mentioned
1t became necessary to draw off the water
and few hours later the workmen rushed
to MIR Davis saying the pond was filed
with monster fish. An investigation
showed that there were sixty monster carp,
weighing from six to eight pounds apiece,
and thousands of others ranging from two
to four pounds each.
