of local independence.
Albany Times-Urion (dem.): The
people of this country will not be
willing to engage in war for the
purpose of acquiring a group of
islands 1000 miles away from our
Pacific coast.
The preference of a majority of
the thoughtful people of the United
States would be to have the islands
remain Independent under some
form of home rule, if,that be posi-
ble.-New York World.
Denver Tribune (rep.): Granting
that no European power would OBJ
ject, it would still be questionable
as to whether the addition of these
islands to the national domain would
be an advantage to the United States.
Is there anything that Hawaii has
to offer under annexation that we
cannot get without burdening our
selves with the care of few degrad-
ed wretches unable or unwilling to
care for MISUNDERSTANDING Citi-
| zen.
Baltimore American (rep.): The
country cannot be expected to sad
die itself with obligations of most
complex character for the purpose
of furthering their business arrange
| ments in a remote corner of the
ocean.
The annexation of Hawaii would
be a grave and portentous departure
from our national policy, which has
hitherto been adverse to territorial
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT beyond the natural
limits of a continental republic
Rochester Herald.
Minneapolis Tribune (rep.): When
we apparently have so much trouble
in assimilating into our political ex-
istence the civilized peoples of Eu-
rope there seems to be no urgent
call for boiling at one gulp the en-
tire Hawaiian nation.
st. Louis Republic (dem.): There
Is only one honest and decent course
open to the United States, and that
is to recall Minister Stevens at once,
and to have nothing to do with the
conspiracy to rob and enslave the
Hawaiian people.
Philadelphia Record (dem.): The
most serious obstacle to out-and-out
annexation is the incapacity of the
native population for any form of
representative government. A re-
turn to native rule would be a return
to modified and ridiculous savag-
cry.
The invitation is one which any
OF the European powers would be
glad to accept, for the great value
OF the islands from a maritime or
military point of view is unquestion-
able. The policy of our government
will naturally be to hold aloof, I'M
less the protection of American lives
or interests demands Intervention
Philadelphia Record.

ger is great.

the poor islanders.
Savannah News (dem.): Our in

New York Press (rep): Cannot

American jurisdiction.
Minneapolis journal Crep.): Re-
publican independence is to be pre-
ferred at present to annexation.
Milwaukee Wisconsin (rep.): Must
either remain independent or be an
nexed to the United States.
Louisville Courier-J Journal (dem.):
We don't want Hawaii, and yet we
don't want anybody else to get her.
Detroit News (ind.): 1t may be
necessary for the United States to
make a departure from her old
time policy.
Sioux City journal (rep.): British
dominance in the Sandwich Islands
would not be agreeable to the
United States.
Cincinnati Times Star (rep.): Our
government should respond prompt
ly and clearly to the public senti-
ment in this matter.
Whatever else comes, we want no
Egyptian protectorate business
about Hawaii. What we do, let us
do openly.--Louisuille Commercial.
Kansas City Times (dem.): A good
property for the United States to
get as a gift, but too many gunboats
and diplomats will be needed.
Boston Advertiser (rep.): Monroe
doctrine works both ways and should
be as binding upon the United
States as upon any European power.
Unless it shall appear that annex
alton is essential to the exclusion of
foreign domination on the islands
it is not to be favored.-Springfeld
Republican.
The thing absolutely certain for
the moment is that no European
domination over Hawaii, even
in the form of a joint protectorate
will be permitted York Tines
