UNCLE SAM AND HAWAII.

Columns OF seemingly sound argumen
are being advanced in approval of tn
now-discussed annexation of the island
OF Hawaii. And apparently the onl,
counter argument made is England,l
| wishes In the matter. Considering frs
the location and Importance of this small
realm it may be briefly stated that Hawai-
is the only land in that tremendous
ocean expanse west of America where 8
ship can call within space of $500 miles
from San Francisco and 62OO from Mica.
ragua. At those distances, but far south
OF the route, lies the poor little haven Of
Jaluit, and little beyond it that OF
Strong's island. These are over 1000 miles
beyond Hawaii. Scarcely anywhere else
on the globe does there stretch so vast an
expanse of ocean absolutely devoid OF
land as that which rolls unbroken bv
reef or islet between Hawaii and Amer
lea. From any point between Panama
and Sitka, bird flying westward shall
find no inch of firm rest for her foot, un-
til Hawaii is reached. Beyond Honolulu
there is no port available except Guam.
and that is only 1900 miles east OF Hong
Kong, while being b5OO from san Fran
cisco, and 75O0 from Nicaragua.
Tremendous as are these distances it
may not be forgotten that the United
States commands 80 per cent of the en-
tire trade of the islands. The feeling
among the leading men of Hawaii is pro-
nouncedly in favor of annexation; and
this feeling is easily understood when it
Is remembered that nearly all the men of
influence in the island are of American
descent-either the children of early
American missionaries or of American sea
captains. The English newspapers are,
as usual, in state of mind and indulge in
familiar and bellicose space filling, but
this will not so greatly affect matters,
and if the temper of the government at
Washington is correctly reported, the
delegates now on their way to
our national capitol to ask some sort of
at the hands of Uncle Sam,
Will receive a very cordial welcome
and In some way the already close rela-
tionship will be made yet closer. Presi-
dent Harrison isrepresented as favorable
to protectorate by the United States
but hardly approves the project of
out-and-out annexation. Such an ar
range ment would undoubtedly preserve
Inc long. g.time national policy, while Sc
curing the continuance of present advan.
bages. The subject is the chief theme
IN Washington and congressional opinion
seems to be with the president.
