noble army of DOCTORS!
Hundreds OF them volunteered for service
here last autumn. when the city was threat
ened with cholera. We do not know how many
OF them have sent word to Surgeon General
WYMAN that they stand ready to go to Bruns-
wick. or to any other part OF the South in which
the yellow fever may break out. Whatever be
the risks from any disease. the m edcal faculty
Is ever willing to confront them. Long live
the doctors!
We have sent American doctors to the
cholera-infected ports OF Europe. and several
OF them have done splendid work there this
year. II a hundred Of them had been needed.
We have no doubt that thousand OF them
would have offered their services.
Heroes are the doctors They will enter a

PRESIDENT JOHNSON AND HAWAII.
Foreseeips Annexation ara Co-pend,ps II.

To THE EDITOR OF TIE suS-Sir: Almost a
quarter OF a century ago another Democratic
President was dealing with the Hawaiian stu
alton. which even then involved the direct at
tentton and earnest consideration OF the
United states. The words OF President An
drew johnson. In his annual message to tho
tortieth Congress on Dec 81 1853. are indeed
prophetic. wherein he said until the people OF
the islands shall OF themselves. at no distant
day. voluntarily apply for admission into the
Union" 1t seems like the direct disposition
OF providence that another Democratic Presi-
dent Mr. Grover Cleveland. should complete
the work that was outlined by his predecessor
twenty-five years ago. 1t Is seldom that 80
broad important and statesmanlke u ma
tionai policy can be executed. after 50 long
an interval. by a President OF the same
political tenets. President Cleveland may
well feel touch of pride when he sends to
Congress his message recommending the an
nexation OF Hawaii. which was SO delicately
yet SO forcibly touched upon by President An
drew johnson in tho following words:
am aware that upon the question of further ex.
tending our possessions It apprehended by some that
our political system cannot successfully be applied
TO an area more extended than our continent but the
conviction 10 rapidly gaining ground in the American
mind that with the increased facilities for int ercom.
municaton between all portions OF the earth tho prin
tuition II faithfully maintained and carried out would
prove OF sufficient strength and breadth
within their sphere and influence the civilized nations
Of tho world.
The attention OF tho Senate and of Congress is
again respectfully invited to tho treaty for the essb
shment OF commercial reciprocity with the Hawaiian
Kingdom entered into last year. and already ratified
BY that Government. 1t is known and felt by the Iia
waan Government and people that their Government
and institutions are feeble and precarous: that tho
United States, being so near noghbor woud be un.
willing to sec the islands pass under foreign control
Their prosperity is continually disturbed by expecta
lions and alarms OF unfriendly political proceedings
As well from tho United States from other foreign
powers reciprocity treaty. while it could not mate
rally diminish tho revenues of the United States
would be guarantee OF the good will and fobearance
of.al nations until tho people OF the islands shall OF
themselves ut no distant day voluntarily apply for
admission into tho Union.
When President Johnson so feelingly referred
to "unfriendly political proceedings. as we'll
from the United States" he must have been
gifted with foresight in anticipating the acts
OF Mr.. Claus Spreckels. Mr.. Charles Nordhoff.
and their organ But President Cleveland.
In the interests Of our great republic will lay
out their "unfriendly political proceedings"
by completing the Democratic policy out
lined a quarter Of q century ago and annex
