islands, Johnston island and Coral isl.
and. Last year she seized the Gardner
and Danger islands. In short, no bit OF
land is too remote. too large or too small
for England to seize if it holds out any
prospect of advantage. Therefore, we
repeat. she would jump ut the chance OF
acquiring the Hawaiian islands.
The question for us to decide is be-
tween annexation and a protectorate.
There is no escape from this alternative.
1t must be one or the other. A pro.
tectorate would involve as much re-
sponsibility and risk as annexation, with
less advantage. Annexation would not
involve any greater danger of interna-
tional entanglements than aprotectOrate
would. and would be more advantage
Gus. Under annexation there wonld be
nothing to prevent us from acquiring
every possible advantage to be derived
from q complete absorption of the ISL
ande, and this may mean a good deal.
There is reason to believe that, aside
from their strategic Importance, they
possess unsuspected agricultural value
for the production of sugar, rice and
coffee. Under the stimulus of American
enterprise and capital these interests
might have a wonderful development.
The objections to annexation seem to
be superficial and trivial. The asser-
ton that it is opposed to our traditional
policy Is not true. Our traditional pol
icy is tSaacquire territory whenever a
favorable opportunity offers. The OBJ
lection on the score Of the by brid popu-
lation is not serious. If the islands be-
come part of the United States the
character of the population will rapidly
change, and in two or three generations
it will be quite as homogeneous as that
of New Mexico at present. The pOpu-
lation problem always works itself out
in favor of the Anglo.Saxon. This
question presents no serious difficulty.
The proposed treaty distinctly provides
that in the event of annexation none of
the Chinese now on the islands shall DO
permitted to come to this country. and.
of course, no more would be admitted

rosy exists among the native population
is frivolous. Statistics show that it is
dying out, and under such measures, as
would be adopted by the government it
would soon disappear. There would be
no danger of it's being brought to the
continent.
Those opposed to annexation assert
that some of the large prOperty-owners
i'm the islands desire annexation for
speculative reasons, and because it
would put "big money" into their
pockets. This is very petty sugges-
tion to introduce into SO grave a ques-
ton. The question is not whether
somebody will profit by the annexation
of the islands, but whether it is desira-
BILE from broad, national point of
view. Looking at it in this light, and
admitting that annexation or a pro-
tectorate is o necessity, we think 1t
clear that the reasons in favor of annex
alton are much stronger than those OPP
posed.

No more outrageous piece of legisla-
tion has passed or is likely to pass this
Legislature than the bill which extends
the terms of city officers to four years
ard retains the present incumbents in
Office till November. 1894. 1t is o sting
ing commentary on legislative methods
that such bill as this should have been
passed over the protests of the people,
and that, too, after its origin, motive
and intent had been exposed. The bill
was not supported by any popular de-
mand and did not represent any public
interest. The people did not ask for it,
and it was not In the interest of good
government. On the contrary, there
was a general popular protest against
1t, and this protest would have become
much louder and stronger had not the
bill been rushed through before its pro-
visions became generally known. 1t
originated with q member Of TIE Legis-
lature, McHuRh of Tippecanoe, who is
himself municipal officer and one of
its beneficiaries. 1t extends his term of
Office and salary nearly two years. The
people and press of several cities and
towns affected by 1t are denouncing the
bill as an outrage on local self-govern-
ment. and the hope is generally ex-
pressed that the Governor will veto it.
