What is to be done with Hawaii Mr..
CLEVELAND has withdrawn from the Senate
the treaty entered into by his predecessor
for tie annexation of the islands. but
whether with view to killing the project
or merely to so modifying it as to make
II PROFESSIONALLY an affair Of his own Ad-
ministratiun remains to be seen.
This country made no mistake when it
annexed Louisiana. 1t made no mistake
when it annexed the Floridas. 1t made no
mistake when it annexed Texas. 1t made
no mistake when it annexed California and
New Mexico. 1t made no mistake when it
annexed Alaska. 1t has never made mis-
take in any OF it's annexations.
But it probably made mistake when It
did not annex st. Thomas That looked
like small matter. and it was small COM
pared with the great additions to our terri
tory ON tho mainland. Yet ever since st.
Thomas was rejected. our Government has
been hunting for Caribbean station. At
one time 1t struggles to gain n foothold on
Samana Bay; atanother. it suffers mOrtify-
ing rppulses In its efforts to acquire Mole
st. Nicolas: it has even studied the available
ity Of ChiriIui Lagoon for its purposes,
but We remain to this day without naval
and coaling station in the West Indies.
Hawaii is the strategic centre Of the Pa
cific. 1t is at the cross roads of the great
ocean. lying where tho routes from the
United States and British Columbia to Aus
traia and New Zealand intersect with those
from the Isthmus to China and Japan. Only
great blunder could fail to secure it now.
1t is astonishing to hear annexation
spoken OF as II 1t were something to be
shrunk from or ashamed OF. What great
nation has ever been anything else than
annexationist Is 1t France. Italy. Russia.

We learn from Lord PLAYFAIR's rcmarlo
In the House Of Lords last Thursday that the
British Government has sent a Commission
to this country charged with the duty OF as
certaining how tho lussian and Polish Jews
conduct themselves" hvro. and how our laws
for the regulation OF immigration are operat-
cd such knowledge upon these subjects as
may here be procured will. 1t Is believed. be Of
use to tho British Government. which is ap-
prehensive that British interests may be ad-
verssly affected by the great influx OF liussian
jews into Great Britain.
We take the liberty OF informing his lord
ship that good proportion OF tho quarter OF a
million OF Jews who have come hero within
couple OF years or thereabout are already on
the road to wealth. that a still larger propor-
tion OF them are gaining the means OF life and
more too and that the remainder are getting
along as well as could be expected. 1t appears
from certain prison returns printed this year
by . Jewish paper that the ratio OF criminals
among the Jews here is smaller than that
among other races. that few Jews are guilty
OF crimes OF violence. and that the ma
jority OF those In prison are there
on account OF grimes involving fraud.
Family morality is at least as well
regarded by the Jews as by the people OF other
races. The Jews who have immigrated here
within few years quickly become Interested
In our politics and are anxious to enjoy the
privileges OF American citizenship. c'hey
learn the English language as soon as they
can. They send their children to the public
schools. They make haste to find somo way
OF winning livelihood There are hardly
any Jewish beggars. and there are Jewish So
cieties which give help to many OF the Jews
who are unable to take care OF them mselves.

II the managers Of the lunatic asylums
OF the State believe that the responsible in
mates OF these institutions would greatly enjoy
tho privilege OF voting Mt elections. We must
insist that the ballots shall be unofficial and
not counted IN the regular returns. 1t seems
that many OF the lunatics In all the States are
deeply interested In politics. that they are
anxious to put their votes In the ballot box.
that they have their favorite candidates like
other folks. tnat they belong to various parties
including the Republican. the Populist. the
Mugwump the Socialist. the Prohibtionst.
and even the Democratic party. 1t certainly
would be interesting to get a poll OF their
votes and to find out which party holds the
control In the various asylums.
In some Of our New York asylums dramas
are performed and enjoyed: concerts are
given and appreciated; books or papers are
perused and comprehended: sermons are
preached and admired: games are played
with skill: congenial intercourse Is carried on.
and dancing parties are given Yet we appre-
hend that the holding Of political elections in
thom would be apt to raise more exciteme ent
than Is desirable.

One Of Brooklyn's advantages from con-
solidaton with New York would be New
York's greater interest in Brooklyn's affairs.
The Brooklynites complain that we fail to give
due attention to their doings. They have lots
OF things which we know little about They
have fine institutions. whose names are rare
ly mentioned here. They nave art exhibitions,
about which We hardly ever hear anything.
They have important interests OF many kinds
about which New York seems 70 ba uncon-
cerned. In tho opinion OF the Brooilynites.
We neglect Brooklyn shamefully. Brooklyn
itself has not tho means Of attracting the no.
tice OF mankind. 1t feels as dull as o town In
tho backwoods. 1t stands apart from tho
metropolis. It lies of ut ono side 1t lives an
isolated life. even though We have built a
bridge to It tits dull old place.
There can be no help for Brooklyn until 1t
becomes an integral part OF the great city to-
ward which 1t is always looking. After con.
solidation has boon brought about. Brooklyn
will be transformed. It will acquire the spirit
OF New York. It will become sharer in New
York's glory. 1t will be known all over and
everywhere.
