MCKINLEY on ANNExATIoS.

The different interpretations which
people here have given the wording Of
the Hawaiian plank in the Republican
platform have varied according to the
annexation enthusiasm of the inter
prefer. Those who don't want annex
alton call it wordy nothing thrown as
a sop to such leaders in the party as
Lodge, Hale, Hit and others of their
stamp. Others claim that the control
expressed in the Republican platform
can only be accomplished by the United
States taking possession of the country
This is undoubtedly the sensible YER
sion of the proposed policy mapped
out at ST. Louis.
The next thing to consider is what
the candidate for President thinks OF
it. Mckinley has kept as quiet on the
foreign policy as he did on the money
question He has never had the same
opportunity or necessity for speaking
his mind, and it is only by his associ-
atoms and an occasional word dropped

on matters of particular interest to
people of Hawaii can be obtained. Judg-
ing from McKinIey's political co-opera-
ton with ex-President Harrison. his
close friendship for H. II. Kohlsaat OF
Chicago, and his well known loyalty to
the principles of protection for Ameri-
can capital and industry, wherever To-
Gated, there ought TO be little doubt OF
In addition to all the foregoing, we
now have an expression of opinion to

titude provided he is elected.

OUR LOVELY TRAMCARs.

The Supreme Court has upheld the
action of the lower courts in the suit
brought against the Tramways Com
pany. The final lesson in the inter
probation of the law has been read to
our great street railway monstrosity
largest fare that can be charged for a
continuous ride within Judd street, the
Industrial school and Punahou street.
Consequently when different lines con-
thing remaining for the Tramways
Company to do is to allow transfers on
the Nuuanu and Beretania street lines,
also to King street.
Now the question is, what is the
Tramways Company going to do about
it? OF course nothing will suit that
company better than to pay the two
fines of 500 each and allow the matter
to quietly blow over. meanwhile con-
tinuing to run the cars and charge fares
contrary to the law as has been done
for several years passed.
The next question is: What are the
people going to do about it? Are the
citizens of this town going to allow the
street railway to continue to over
charge passengers when the law is
within reach of every man, woman and
child that is forced to put an extra
nickel in the cash box? We certainly
hope that our good people have not
become so thoroughly Indifferent to the
conditions about them to let this out
rage on the community go on. 1t is
bad enough to have our streets ham
pered with such old-fashioned relics of
former day Rocky Mountain mule cars,
but that part of it we suppose the peO-
pie will have to stand so long as the
company has its grip on the streets of
the town. The decision of the Supreme
Court, however. has put the people in
a position to bring the company before
the bar of justice and require the pay
ment of S1O0 for each and every fare
in which there has been an overcharge.
1t is little early in the game TO tell
just what the Tram Company will do.
Possibly it will continue its cars from
Judd street to Punahou, possibly it will
inaugurate a system of transfers from
Nuuanu and Fort streets TO King
street; possibly it will come to the con-
clusion that discretion and common
decency in the treatment of the public
is the better part of business valor.
These possibilities of the future have
powers that preside over the destinies
of our apology for Il street railway
have any desire to continue paying 500

Rev. DR.. Peters. a pastor in New
York City, has preached a sermon on
marriage that has attracted consider
able attention. The reverend gentle
man puts marriage down as failure
in nine cases out of ten. In the course
Of his sermon he said that of one thou
sand couples whom he had married.
the majority entered into matrimony
unadyisedly, unthinkingly, and with
out proper consideration" that young
ladies give their consent too easily,
though a marriage without love is a
mockery that bushes to the skies; !"
that thousands of marriages never re
aIize the happiness which was antici-
pated previous to the tying of the
knot" and that thousands of married
women would be better off if they were
not married" AS an alternative to
marriage Mr.. Peters proposes that ''the
brightest and prettiest girls in the city
New York; shall decline to wed in
order to devote themselves to some
noble work" There are only two ways
to account for the pessimistic ideas of
the New York clergyman. He has
either been Tilted and consequently
soured on all young, ladies, or else
some of the bridegrooms connected
with the one thousand marriages he
has performed have been remiss in pay

SENATOR MORRILL,.

Senator Morrill,, whose seth birthday
was so pleasantly noticed in the senate
yesterday. is a wonderfully well-pre-
served man for one who has been In
politics so long and so actively. In
private life Morrill, is a man of simple
tastes and regular. IL not abstemious,
habits. He was born in STAFFORD, VT,
a town which still claims him as a resi-
dent. He was a merchant and farmer
when I'm 1856. being then 46 years old,
he was elected a representative in
congress. He served in that capacity
until 1867, since when he has been
member OF the senate. Mr.. Morrill, will
be known to history as the author of
the war tariff" He possesses no spe-
cial genius in any direction, but he Is
a plodeing, methodical student, he tries
TO master every subject of Importance
that comes to the senates attention.
Both his public and private life have
been absolutely above suspicion While
many of us differ with him radically in
matters of public policy, all recognize
him as noble type or the American
citizen. A man already full of years
and honor may he at least round out
the century and continue to enjoy the
reverent respect and admiration of the
American people

From the New York Tribune.
Senator Don ]. Cameron of Pennsyl-
vania is one of the most retcent of men
in politics. His belief on the silver ques-
ton naturally led to his being censured
a great deal. He made no reply, but
quietly declined to be a candidate for the
senate again. A friend of his who called
upon him to ask about his resignation
and to learn whom, If any one. he wished
to have supported for the place, tells
the following story: He found Senator
Cameron in a good humor and said:
Senator. we are sorry to see you go,
and we want to know whom you wish
supported"
Cameron eyed him a moment. and then
said slowly:
THAT reminds me of a story that An
drew c. Curtin. the great war governor,
once told. During war times a friend
came to him aud told him that he wished
to a DIR. Rutherford in Harrisburg. who
was known as a pretty good judge of
horsefiesh. DIR. Rutherford said TO the
intending purchaser:
well, you cannot make much of a mis-
take IL you buy any horse in this neigh
borhood. All the hacks and worthless
brutes have been sold TO the army and
gone to the front"
Here Mr. Cameron ceased speaking
and then. after moments reelection.
said quizzically: you cannot make much
OF a mistake by taking any one out OF
office, but as for those already in"
The visitor got his cue and went away.
He understands that Mr.. Cameron has
not a high regard for the public men of
his own state.

settlement of the Cuban war and that
1T will prefer to fight rather than lose
Cuba by foreign pressure" The princi-
pal significance of this news at this
time is that it confirms the belief that
the president has interfered The New
York Suns Washington correspondent
says that among congressman and pub
lie officials the opinion is quite general
that the president has already notified
the Spanish government of his disposi-
ton to interfere in behalf of Cuba, and
that the various conferences of the
past few days have been held at the
instance of the Spanish minister, who
has presented the protests of his gov
eminent and endeavored to suggest
some diplomatic proposition looking to
a postponement Of the presidents pol
Icy. whatever 1t is. 1t is not thought
the president will act at once. but
that he will make the announcement of
his Intentions some time before the adj
journment OF congress is not at all i'm
probable.

HOLMES CONFESSIONS.

So long as II certain that he has got
to swing. Mr.. Holmes is ambitious TO
pass into history as the arch-murderer
of his time. None of your Harry Hay
wards with a paltry half dozen muir
ders to his credit for him. Holmes fig
ures up grand total of twenty-seven.
and leaves IL as a record to be broken
by him who can. confident that II will
not be broken very soon or very easily
While he was about IL. however. Mr.
Holmes might as well have made II
twice twenty-seven. His story would
have been believed just as readily. As
IL is. Mr.. Holmes is suspected OF exag-
geration. Some of the people whom
he claims to have murdered are report
ed to be alive and well. Others may
have had no existence whatever out
side of Holmes Imagination. The gem
deman's reputation for truth and We
racity seems to be impeached, and un-
der the circumstances he will have
difficulty in sustaining 1t by endeavor-
ing to show a previous good moral
character. Mr.. Holmes statements.
like his affairs. are becoming more and
more involved and complicated.
However, there is a fact that stands
out so bold and prominent as to admit
OF no possible controversy. and that Is
that Holmes was a bold. crafty. cal
culating. experienced murderer. He Is
to hang on May and may his like not
soon be seen again.
