ward that which is just and pure and

it was not expected that the House
would jump at the chance of approving
the Hawaiian cable scheme of the Senate
The refusal of the House. therefore, to
make an appropriation for the cable ex-
cites no surprise
1t is we'll understood that the cable ia
only a step in the direction OF annexing
the Hawaiian Islands. The congressman
who are proposing that the cable shall be
paid for by the people of this country
approved tho action of the United States
Minister Stevens in lending his influence
to the scheme for overthrowing the Ha-
waiian monarchy.
1t really looks as If there had been a
long standing conspiracy to make Hawaii
a part of this country without regard to
the wishes Of the people Of Hawaii or
The people Of the United States. There is
hardly room for a reasonable doub- that
the monarchy would stiu he in existence
In Hawaii if Mr.. Stevens had remained
an Indifferent observer OF events there.
But what does this country want with
Hawaii and It's island OF lepers? That
country is of more use to us as a
separate government than IL would be as
part of our territory 1t has a population
that cannot be assimilated. and its rev
enues would mot be sufficient to pay the
interest on its obligations.
Tho republicans are determined to have
it, however, and if they carry the next
presidential election they viii annex it.
They HAD almost carried into effect an an
nexation scheme when President Harrl-
sons term came to an end. II we should
get absolute control of the Islands they
would be a source of annoyance and eX-
pense rather than source OF profit.

rho CentraI's ReorEaniEation.

Tho announcement in the New York
Herald Of Thursday that tie Centrars
reoreau. zation scheme has fallen through
causes no surprise. Il has been pretty
wen understood for several weeks. by
a Ereat many oi those interested. that the
scheme was practically dead.
Either il is a difficult matter TO reor-
game the CentraTs properties or else
those who are engaged I'm the work are
not very much TN earnest. The holders
Of The junior securities I'm this city. and
perhaps in this state. are greatly dis
hcartened at the outlook for a reorgani-
zation- They have seen three reorganiza-
ton schemes fail and there is no assur-
ance that 10 another is prepared It Will
be a success The first scheme gave the
junior securities a pretty good show ing
The second was not nearly so favorable
TO them. and the third was stu less IA
NorabIc. If there is a fourth scheme. and
the junior securities are dealt with in "a
similar manner they viii not be a very
valuable asset.
IT may Doe that Drexel, Morgan < Co,
who really control the situation. are right
in saving that the fixed charges under the
last scheme were too heavy. They were
fully as much as the property could earn
unless business improved greatly. and for
business Improvement there is not an en-
courasing prospect. Fiye-ceut cotton has
delayed tho return of prosperity in the
south.
II IS stated that in the scheme that
has just failed IT was thought that the
Savannah aud Western was dealt with
TOO literally. II IS worthy Of notice in
this connection that within the last few
days the managers Of the Savannah and
Western interest have been sending out
"a statement intended TO show that their
property is earning nearly the whole Of
the interest on its bonded Indebtedness.
With this statement there is coupled
threat that II in a new reorganization
scheme. the Savannah and Western Is
not dealt with as literally as it is in the
scheme that has been abandoned, the
owners of that road VIII take it out Of
Tho Central system. Threats like this
are to be expected. 1t is evident, how
ever that there can be no reorganization.
# for each Of the roads OF the system
more is claimed than il is entitled TO.
There must be concessions.
It is pretty safe TO say that there would
be a feeling Of relief in this part of the
CentraTs territory if Drexel, Morgan &
Co. should take hold OF the reorganiza-
ion business. There would then be some
assurance that the property would be
speedily reorganized. The men who are
now trying TO reorganize 1t do not inspire
much confidence in their ability to ac-
complish anything.
The Richmond Terminal properties were
put into the hands of a receiver after the
Central had suffered that fate, and yet
those properties have been reorganized
more than six months. The Central has
not even a plan OF reorganization.
