THE AMERICAN POLICY
Ii is Not Against the Annexation o
Islands.

| -
Islands
| In the discussion of the Hawaiian
question no assumption has been more
groundless than that the policy Of this
country is against the annexation Of
islands. No such distinction between
continental and lnsular possessions has
ever been drawn President Monroe's
famous message Of 1898, embodying
what is known as the Monroe doctrine,
Repeatedly used the phrase "this hemis-
phere," and not "this continent" as
denotlng the area in whose political
destiny we were concerned eve
should consider any attempt on their
part to extend their system to any
portion of this hemisphere as dangerous
TO our peace and safety" was his
language.
Secretary Clay, in 1925, notified Mr.
Brown, our Minister to France. in re-
gard to Cuba and Plrto Rico, that "we
could not consent to the occupation of
those islands by any other European
power than Spain, under any Contin
tingency whatever" 1t is true that
Hawaii is much further from us than
Porto REQ but 1925 was the erl of
the sailing ship, and 1898 is the era Of
twenty-knot steamers, 50 that the differ
enCe in that respect is purely one Of
oegree, and Of instantly lessening m.
portance, As ling ago S 1912 "lts
nearer approach to this continent" was
mentioned by President Tyler in a
message to Congress as one foundation
for the paramount claim of the United
States upon Hawaii.
But more decisive was the declara-
ton of President Johnson twenty-five
years ago in approving a reciprocity
treaty negotiated by Mr. Seward with
Hawaii, that such an agreement would
be a guarantee of the forbearance and
good will of all nations until the people
of the Island shall of themselves, at
no distant day, voluntarily apply for
admission to the Union" This Ian
guage was in harmony with an actual
treaty Of annexation negotiated many
years before by Secretary Marcy.
1t is sheer assumption that the
elements Of contiguity and of main
land, as opposed to insular situation,
have been made prere qust,s in Amer
lean anneXalions. Whist can be sad is
that hitherto continental and not ex,
Clusively lnsuar areas have been an
neaed. Bat that is a statement of fact,
not of policy, and fact, too, of minor
impcrtance. -Ne7V York San.

A Senator's Jag.

Senator J. L. M. Irby, the great
Populist leader of South Carolina,
has made short cut to fame by
becoming siezed and possessed of a
most virulent and malignant form of
jag. Of course Irby is not the first
Senator who has tarried too long
with the hot and unpeaceful booze,
but the Senatorial jag as a rule is a
solemn and decorous affair and never
SO far forgets itself as to utterly
destroy the dignity of it's owner
But Irby's jag was the wild and
woody sort. He kicked his heels
through the glass windows of his
carriage, he fourished his pistol, he
swore that he was a wolf from bitter
creek and that it was his day to howl.
He made night hideous with his tu-
multuous and obstreperous behavior
and the peaceful citizens of Colum-
bia, S. c., were glad to get inside of
their houses and shut the doors
while this great champion of the peo-
pie was snorting about the streets
and offering to clean out whole jun
giles of wild beasts with both eyes
shut and his hands tied behind him.
just how the Populist of South
Carolina feel about Irby's break we
do not know; but we are quite sure
that there are great many in South
Carolina who will think of the vener-
able Wade Hampton with fresh grief
as they contrast his years of honora-
BILE and faithful service, his stainless
fame and his lofty character with the
disgusting escapades of the besotted
bravo whom misguided people have
lifted up to blazon their shame and
folly to the world.-Memphis Com

Wealthy Indian Tribes.

There are to-day 243,534 Indians,
men, women and children, in the
United States, and of this number
76 per cent. or 1854 are self-sup-
porting and receive no subsistence
supplies from the government. The
five civilized tribes inhabiting the In
dian territory-the Choctaws, Chick
asaws, Cherokees, Greeks and Semi
noles-constituting population of
$4,000 souls. have more concrete
wealth among themselves, chiefly
held in common by each tribe, than
any body Of people of equal size
under the sun. They have in bank
and in the United States treasury
the aggregate sum of $19,00O,O0O,
they own nearly 100000 acres of
land, some of it literally underlaid
with deposits of coal, iron and other
rich mineral resources, the whole
valued at S1OO,OOO,OOO, and easily
salable at that figure to-day; they
produce between $5,O00,000 and &c.
100000 worth of farm crops every
year, and their live stock is estimated
at $4,000 head.
In Arizona is a large and wonder
full rich tribe of a nomadic and pas
toral character-the Navajos, num-
bering 17,204, and owning 8,205,44O
acres of land admirably suited to
grazing. They pursue stock-raising
asa national avocation, and have
1,5S3,754 head of sheep, 1875
head of horses and 9188 head of cat
tie. They are probably the best arm
ed and equipped Indians on the con
tinent and are able to put out from
5000 to 1000 fighting men in the field
on the shortest notice.
We gather the above facts from ,
lengthy and quite interesting article
which appeared in recent issue O
the New Orleans Picayune.

quantities are being brought here

or property of other people, cannot

Good for Vermilion. The Alta

crop is large, and although larger
acreage of cane will be planted the
ensuing year less feed will be pur-
chased from Texas and the West"
Very well said by the Mansfield
Democrat-Journal: sThe New Or
leans dailies still keep up reports of
prize fights, which may be good
reading for the city readers, bat
plain country folks are tired, very
tired, of such literature.'
The Mansfield Democrat Journal
says: The grand jury of Opelousas
calls attention to the increase of
crime in the State aud ascribes the
inefficiency of the jury system as the
main canse. They advise that the
Law be so amended as to enable a
majority to find verdict in all mis-
demeanors, and also a verdict to be
found by nine jurors in all serious
criminal charges, where the punish
ment is less than capital"

His Way OF Succeeding.

United States Senator Perkins, who
was once poor sailor boy and
porter in California store, is now
one of the richest men in that State.
In recent interview with a New
York Herald reporter he said:
MY rule in life is to do the duty
that lies nearest me. Before I came
here I stood one day with my wife on
the front porch of our house at Oak
land, and as we looked together out
upon large meadow where the har-
vesters were cutting and baling hay
she said, speaking of my term in the
Senate:
"George, you are now going to
Washington to take your place among
the create: t statesmen of the land.
The work will be new to you, and how
do you think you will get along in
such tight place ?"
81 looked out over the hay field
and answered: MY dear, you see
that great area of hay standing out
there on the meadow? It comprises
many tons and the reaping and bail
ing of it seems to be an impossible
job. Two weeks from now it will be
all gone. It will be cut whisp by
whisp and straw by.straw. It will be
put into wagons, pressed into bales,
and little by little the impossible will
be accomplished. That's the way I
expect to do at Washington. I will
do just what I can do from day to
day, always doing the bestI can, and
whether I succeed or not I will have
the satisfaction of having done the
best could"

That day it printed forty columns of

trict. The small ''want" advertise
ments filed twenty-five columns, to
let and boarding thirty-three and
real estate nineteen. Though this is

Nearly page was taken up by amuse-

From the Delhi, La, Daily Pres.
settle, we extract the following:
OUR PLATFORM.

OUR PLATFORM.
"A good living for every honest
man in the Ouachita delta. A good
house for him to live in; carpets on
the floor; books, magazines and a
daily paper. Good roads, school
houses not more than three miles
apart. Something good to eat three
hundred and sixty-fve and a quarter
days in the year without buying on
a credit. Better horses and mules,
better COWS, better hogs, more sheep
fewer dogs.
''This platform is short but it is
comprehensive. A country that will
not furnish it all is not worth living
in. Without it life is not worth the
struggle. From day to day the Pres
settle will tell you how it may be &C
complished. Watch it"
We endorse every word of the
above platform. From its commence
ment the Vidette has labored to in
culcate similar ideas, and it is cheer
ing to have a home journal furnish
to its readers something else besides
political hash. This country wants
more workers and fewer politicians.
1t wants men with practical ideas
that will develop the country, intro
duce new crops and new methods of
growing crops. To do this, men from
abroad must be induced to come
here. Every new man will have a
new idea, and multiplicity of men
and ideas will give to this country
activity and hustle that will inaugu
rate new system of living and farm
ing that will, in a few years, make
this the country that strangers will
want to come to. A few live men in
every town, ward and parish in the
State; a few first class funerals of
the men who have means and afraid
to invest it, is what this country
needs most.-Mer Rouge Vidette.
