hawaiIans NOT Desirable.

And on this information, meager as it
was, the senator from New Hampshire
rushed franiically into this chamber,
scarcely waiting for the conclusion of the
morning prayer, and offered a resolution
for the immediate and unconditional an
nexation of the Hawaiian islands-with
their 80 900 inhabitants, about 1900 of them
whites. and the rest Kanakas, Chinese, Jap
anese, Polynesians and the lineal descend
ants of cannibafs and with the institution
of leprosy firmly established in the midst
of these blissful islands. And now we are
told by the morning papers that there is to
be another continuing appropriation for
the late queen of Hawaii of $4,000 year."
A "Furore of Jingoism."

Minister Stevens-says that it ought to

that, in all this furore of jingoism, we hear
nothing of the Hawaiian Commercial COM
pany, as it is called, an immense corpora
ton, 90 per cent of whose assets consists
in sugar plantations on the Hawaiian ISL
ands and the stock of which is owned al
most entirely by Claus Spreckles, That
stock today is selling at a nominal figure;
but, if annexation takes place millions on

idea of Asiatic cholera. can imagine that
statesman, after annexation is "accompli,n n
as the French say, standing on the pebbly
beach at Honolulu, with his statesmanlike
eye fixed on the heaving pillows of the
dark Pacific, rolling away to that glorious
land where the dreams of the Ancients To-
Gated the Islands of the Blest" Before
him glides the sylph-lke form of some
kanaka maiden, while the roar of the
breakers reminds him of the applause of
his countrymen. Looking across this inn

Historical Names of King

Some of the early kings of France
ruled over Germany at one time when
there was no division, but when there
was separate German nation the rulers
gained many curious titles. Eat" was
one and Blind" another. Also the
Child" the Fowler" Then BLOOD, !"
"Red," BLACK, Superb" and SHARP"
while one king is particularly described
as the Holy and Lame"
The rulers of the provinces that now
make up Spain had a number of kings
called Great and Catholic. Then they
also had the Monk and Gouty and in
cluded others who were infrm-Bad,
Noble, Strong, Valiant, Gracious, Sick
ly, Impotent, Benefcent and Ceremoni-
GUS. Ferdinand III of Leon and CASTLE
was the Saint and Holy.
Hungary has her rulers described as
Saint, German, Thunder, Venetian, Great
and King Mary who was probably the
only woman who held like title. Over
Portugal reigned the Fat, Idle, African
and Great and Perfect.
The people of Russia havo generally
had hard time of it. We realize this
today, and the names given to their
kings show the reason therefor. None
was good, wise or just, though there
was Peter the Great, who did all he
could to help his country. But how
could Il nation progress with rulers who
gained the title of Terrible, Impostor,
Proud, Lightfoot, Grim, Fierce and Lion:
