Our correspondent from the
business community makes very
timely suggestion in relation to
''sprinkling' Fort street. Bicy-
clists have now become sufficient
ly numerous to make themselves
heard and felt, and to ride down
the principal business street of
the city after the sprinkler has
passed is a task of no mean pro
portion. The street is narrow and
hard to navigate at best. but
when coated with mud. as it seems
to be Il good part of the day. it
is really dangerous. There is Il
vast difference between street
sprinkling and miniature Johns
town food.

chusetts, where he developed abil-
ity as a ward politician. If Allen
can show the same capabilities as
an adviser of the Chief Executive
of his State that he has displayed
in ward politics. he has a splendid
opportunity before him to gain
personal fame and win laurels for
his race. Massachusetts was a
hotbed Of the anti-slavery move
ment, and there is no reason why
it's citizens should look askance
at the political elevation of Il
man whom they helped to enamel
pate.

Notwithstanding the rigid en-
forcement of the Chinese eXclu-

nese still continue to evade it.
During the last fiscal year 1910
Chinese were admitted to the
United States. and 415 were re-
jected. Keeping watch over the
people of this nationality cost
$S6, $50, which gives the Oriental
the satisfaction. that although
barred out, he is costing the ma

The wonderful development of
the sugar beet industry is leading
many wise heads to predict that
the production of sugar from cane
will soon be on the. wane. Not
withstanding the Cuban shortage,
the worlds production of sugar
for 1896 exceeds that of 1895. 1t
is no doubt true that sugar beet
production introduces a fOrmid-
able competitive element that will
be felt more or less. but there is
no danger of cane sugar being
relegated to a secondary position.
If competition becomes sharper
and prices 90 to a lower figure,
the cane producers will meet the
situation as they have in the past
by lessening the cost of produc-
ton.

HAWAII Is No QUIBBLER.

In the discussion of the annex
alton of Hawaii many American
papers have taken the position eX-
pressed by the Springfield Mass
Union, that there is no apparent
reason why Hawaii should not be
accepted as a territory, but it is
"a question whether we want to
admit it to the Union Immediate
ly." The question that arises APP
pears to rest in the Interpretation
of the word annexation. Whether
this splitting on the technicality
of a word is premeditated OF not,
it is impossible TO say; but what
ever the object of American writ
ers may be, there should be no
delay in making clear the position
which this country takes.
AS has been previously stated
in this paper, nothing yet put in
public print expresses more clear
ly the aims and objects of Hawaii
than General Hartwell's resolu-
ton adopted at the first meeting
of the Annexation Club officers.
The saving clause which reads,
'1eaving to the United States to
enact such laws as Congress shall
deem to be proper" ought to place
beyond all possible question the
desire of Hawaii to bubble over
fine points as to the particular
form by which union with the
American republic shall be &C
eOmplished. Firstf Of all, Hawaii
seeks to become part and parcel
of American territory. 1t seeks to
have the controlling power of the
United States so firmly establish
ed that it can never be jeOpar-
died by the foolish caprice of any
party or party representative. The
use of the word annexation may
be taken as implying that this
country will endeavOr to gain
closer political union than would
be realized under a prOtectorate,
but that it is necessarily a dec
laration in favor of the immediate
institution of a State government
has never been assumed.
Admission to the United States
as a State is an honor Hawaii
would highly appreciate, but it
is easy to see that such Il course
might not meet with favor in Am
merican States that have had to
pass through the perfecting terri
tOrial stage. Hence it is that the
disposition of the popular will
here is to voluntarily place in the
hands of Congress the determin-
alton of the particular form of
government that shall obtain
when Hawaii is declared to be
possessed and governed by the
United States.

was nominated on the Republican
ticket from a district that has
been sOlidly Democratic for years,
but in the landslide of the last
election Allen secured his seat by
a narrow majority. The new cOun-

Spanish patriotism is not dead
yet, as was displayed when Span
