A POPULAR ACT.
1t Will Suit the People of the
United States If the Islands

1t VIII Suit the People of the
United States If the Islands
are annexed.
The appeal of the Provisional Gov
eminent of Hawaii for annexation
has been received by the American
press in manner which makes it
certain that the requirement of the
islands by the United States would
be very popular act. There seems
to be no present doubt that the mis-
sion Of the new Governments repre-
sentatives dispatched to Washington
will meet with success. 1t may be
that President Harrison feels that
negotiation of such Importance
should not be concluded by an expir-
ing Administration, and will there
fore turn it over to his successor.
Mr.. Cleveland can be relied on,
and public opinion being what it
evidently is Congress may be trusted
to pass the necessary bill.
OF course it is not difficult to dis
cover objections to annexation, and
unquestionably there are drawbacks
to the acquisition of the group. But
the arguments for annexation are
UNNECESSARILY stronger than those
against. If we do not take the ISL
ands, what are we to do? Play the
role of dog in the manger and deny
the whites of Hawaii the protection
of England? The logic Of the
situation is perfectly clear, that
the United States cannot, com
fortably with her own inter
ests, refuse the offer that has been
made. There is ample room for de-
bate as to what form of government
we may most safely give Hawaii, but
none at all as to the wisdom. the ne
cessity of annexing the islands. The
commercial and naval advantages Of
the step are too obvious to neec
discussion.-Ex.
