The Sacramento Bee has an inter
view with Mr.. F. Waldron, former
respected resident of Honolulu. Mr..
Waldron's chronology, if the re-
porter has done him justice, is a
little mixed, and his statement of
the electoral franchise very inaccu-
rate, but he gets the origin of the
annexation scheme down fine in the
following remarks:
"The present trouble is entirely
due to the Mckinley bill. 1t de-
prived the planters of the $5,OOO,OOO
a year which they received under
the reciprocity treaty, Soon after
the bill was passed property in the
Islands deprecated and many plan
ters left altogether.
"The planters believe that if the
Islands are annexed the bounty on
sugar will fully compensate them for
their loss in the abrogation of the
reciprocity treaty,
Annexation, in my judgment, is
necessary if the Americans desire to
maintain their domination in Hs-
wall"

indianapolis, January 2S.-Acting
Rear Admiral George Brown Of the
United States navy, who recently re-
turned from Hawaii, says of the de-
posed Queen, with whom he had
personal acquaintance, that she is
an obstinate woman, self-willed and
unpopular.
Admiral Brown does not believe
the annexation of the islands with
the United States possible. The
islands employ 10000 contract labor
ers, and this alone would be an in
surmountable obstacle, being di-
rectly contrary to the Constitution
Of this country. He is inclined to
the belief that arrangements will be
made by which the islands will be
placed under the protection of this
country, but will not be made part
of it.
The Admiral also has personal ac-
quaintance with the men at the head
of the new Government. He says
they are cool-headed and wise and
business interests will not suffer.

It is Merely a Job.

Already a resolution has been in
troduced in the United States Sen
ate, requesting the President to en-
ter into negotiations with the Pro-
visional Government of Hawaii for
the admission of the Islands as a
Territory. and to lay the convention
before Congress for ratification by
legislation. There appears to be a
difference of opinion in the National
Legislature as to whether the Unit
ed States should enter into this an
nexation scheme. To our mind, the
Peoples party has struck the truth
in the whole business. Watson, of
Georgia, said:
"It is a job, and nothing but a job.
1t is job put up by American prop
erty-owners and sugar planters in
Hawaii, who are not looking to ma
tional prosperity but personal ag-
grandizement."
There is great deal of meat in
that remark. AS The Bee pointed
out yesterday, this proposed annex
alton of Hawaii is not measure in
the interests of good government or
Of justice. 1t is not calculated to
protect the rights of the people who
have any rights there, but it is de-
signed especially to further the in
forests of American squatters, who
have been instrumental in disfran-
chising the natives, in taking away
from them their property and civil
rights, and who now demand that
the United States shall deliberately
commit piracy on the broad seas
and steal these islands to still further
advance the interests of these squat,
