Annexation of the Hawaiian Islands n,
Duty.

Annexation of the Hawaiian Islands y.
Duty.
CHICAGO, Nov. 30.-John w. Foster
ex-secretary of state, and Mrs. Foster
arrived in Chicago yesterday on the
way to their home in Washington
from Honolulu. They spent a little
more than two weeks on the islands,
and Mr.. Fosters observations con-
frmed the belief which he promul-
gated as premier of President Harri-
sons cabinet, that annexation by the
United States is the duty of this gov
eminent.
The present Hawaiian admlnistra-
tion is waiting for the Inauguration OF
President Mckinley to make another
effort to have the islands annexed"
said Mr.. Foster. 1.-The constitution
under which the people of the islands
are living at present has annexation
as one of the main things to be striven
for.
The islands were never IN a more
prosperous condition than at present
They are prospecting in q business way.
because the last sugar crop was an ex-
ceptionally good one, and the admin.
istration of President Dole is the best
that the people ever had.
1T is recognized that the ultimate
fate of the islands, if they are not an
nexed by the United States, will be
annexation by some other of the
great powers. 1t will be impossible
for the islanders to govern themselves
successfully for any great length OF
time by the $50 of the clash be-
tween the different elements, republi.
cans and royalIsts, and natives and
foreigners. One thing is settled, and
that is that the queen will never rule
again or the monarchy be restored.
So it remains for the United States to.
act without delay or some other ma
tion will assume power in the Har
waiian islands,"

HIS PARTY'S FUTURE.

The Theme of . Conversation By Presidsna
CleveiAnd-The BIuuder Made by the
Leaders In the Last Campaign, He In Con.
hdent Will be Repudisted by the People
At the First OpporIunity-Dsnger Ahead.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30-An evening
paper here prints an account of q con-
v~ersation between President Cleveland
and a prominent democratic politician
in which the former expressed at
length his views upon the future Of
the democratic party. The president
believes, according to the story, that
while a blunder was made by the Lead
ers who controlled the convention at
Chicago last July, he is hopeful that
many of the men responsible for that.
action will be convinced of their folly
in the near future.
He expects to see the organization
brought back into the true democratic.
path, and he is confident hat the
party, by repudiating at the first OPP
p%ortunity the doctrines proclaimed at.
Chicago, can quickly much of
the ground lost in the last campaign
1t is to those democrats who fol-
lowed Bryan solely on the ground of
regularity" and to their brethren
who organized the movement leading
to the indianapolis convention that
Mr.. Cleveland looks for the reorgan-
ization and the rehabilitation of the
democratic party. He is confident
that they will not follow the free sill
yer extremists into the populist camp,
but will gladly come back into the
democratic fold when the parting OF
the ways" is reached, as it will be very
shortly, in his opinion. The number
OF these democrats is much greater,
Mr.. Cleveland believes, than most
persons suspect. 1t is his estimate that
IN many of the southern states particu-
given Mr.. Bryan were cast by demo-
Gratis who were influenced in register
ing their ballots exclusively by the
idea of Regularity" Mr.. Cleveland
is said to expect that the radical ele-
ment of the party, composed, as it is,
OF men who enthusiastically indorse
all the dangerous doctrines pro-
claimed at Chicago, will shortly be
swallowed up in the populist organiza-
ton. 1t is the presidents idea that
the sooner they go the better it will
be for the democratic party. He
wants the reorganization to be eff
fected along the lines laid down in
the Indianapolis platform, which he
regards as the embodiment of essen
tial democratic principles.
The president insists hat it is only
to the democratic party, purified and
r~ejuyenated, as he hopes it will be by
this sloughing off process and by &C.
cessions from the republican and indie
pendent voters. that the people can
look with any degree of hope or conf
dence of relief from their burdens.
He thinks the greatest dangers which
now menace the county are the greed
of organized wealth and the rapacity
of corporations. He sees in the return
of the republican party to power nc
prospect of an abatement of these
evils,
