HAWAI-. J0TTINCS.

If Hawaii, as Minister Cooper, says.
is now in danger of being submerged,
socially and politically, by a food OF
japanese, the planters there have only
themselves TO thank. Though given
the chance to get Portuguese and Scau-
dinavians 10 work in their cane fields.
they preferred Japanese, because they
thought that the latter would not want
the suffrage, and would enable them to
maintain their Oligarchy with the least
amount of political friction. 1t is IA
the nature Of poetic justice that the
Japanese are now demanding equality
and keeping the planters awake o.
nights with the noise of their fulmina-
tions. Though it will be the duty of
the United States to see that Japan
does not coerce Hawaii, there will be
small sympathy for the sugar barons
in the plight which an attempt to freeze
out Independent white men has in
vOIved them.-San Francisco Chron-

CUBAN POSSIBILITIES.

Late returns from Cuba appear
to prove beyond the possibility
OF doubt that General Maceo was
killed through the base treachery
of Spanish generals. The loss of
this noble leader Is in one sense a
terrible blow TO the cause Of free
Cuba. The forces now IN the field
viii for the time being be placed
at a disadvantage, but the mcreas-
ed sympathy aroused on account
of the inhulnan conduct OF the
Spaniards viii in the long run re
suit in adding new recruits, Great
ing new enthusiasm and determin-
alton to win, and may finally Sc
cure for the Cubans recognition
from the United States. The act
witty of Cuban sympathizers in the
United States gives promise that
the day of recognition is not far
off. and that in event of the Presi-
dents failure to act, Congress will
take the matter out of his hands.
The action of the Senate makes
it apparent that Congress will not
act or fail to act upon President
Cleveland's say so. The call for
the data upon which Secretary Oh
nev based his report, and Presi-
dent Cleveland the Cuban para
graphs of his message, calls to
mind the days when Congress took
a hand in Hawaiian affairs. A
good majority in both houses are
determined to obtain official docu-
ments and reports so that they
may draw their own conclusions.
While it is not altogether probable
that any drastic measures will be
adopted, the Cuban question bids
fair to make somewhat disagree
able the closing days of Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration. Repubh
cans will naturally attempt to
force the matter in order to relieve
the incoming administration. Mr..
Cleyeland's immediate friends viii
seek to block recognition so as to
relieve him of the responsibility
of possible war with Spain, and
Just at the present time Mr.. Cleve-
lands friends in Congress are not
numerically strong. This is the
purely political phase. Then comes
the fact that the Cubans are strug-
Cling for liberty, and liberty gain
ed through the moral support of
the United States means American
supremacy IN one of the principal
islands of the West Indies, where
the United States is decidedly
weak. Whatever the final action
of Congress, the continual agita-
ton of the question and the con
slant popular contribution to the
Cuban supplies Will put off the
day of Weyler's success. Delays
are dangerous for Weyler and
bring new hope to Cubans, conse-
quently Cuba's prospects for indie
pendepee may be regarded as
brighter than ever before.

Mr.. Armstrong; suggestions
concerning the opposition TO an
nexation lately aroused in Califor-
mia are sufficiently pointed to set
local statesmen and business men
TO thinking seriously upon the
question of labor. Undoubtedly
there are many here who will
look upon Mr.. Armstrong; re
marks as being more or less spiced
with displeasure at the lack of at
tention given the report Of the
Labor Commission; but the de
mands Of labor organizations in
California, together with the sugar
beet industry claims for protec-
ton, are taking such shape that
they cannot be brushed aside
lightly. Mr.. Armstrong is IN
touch with the situation here and
in California, and he speaks adj

Whatever Liliuokalani's plans
may be, she IS using good judg-
ment III maintaining a stolid 81
lence toward the public. If she
anticipated that her presence in
Washington would create a sensa-
ton, she has already received SUI
ficient advance notice to assure her
OF her mistake. One of the bene-
fetal results of her tour is likely to
be a more complete realization of
her own insignifcance as a politi-
cal factor. Should she decide to
present her claims, if claims she
has, to Great Britain, there is no
danger that the cause of annex
alton will be injured.

AN ABSURD STORY EXPOSED.

Several days ago a weekly paper pub
ishcd at Luray printed a series of Popu-
nstic resolutions. with the declaration
that they had been cordially endorsed
by Governor O'Ferian as entirely con
sistent with his past record. The whole
story was so manifestly absurd that no
sensible man could have believed 1t. Aal
yet the two silver papers in this city
reproduced the article from the I.urav
paper without ever giving the Governor
an opportunity TO deny or explain. ana
one of these papers paraded the resolu-
lions in fits editorial columns in large
type. Elsewhere. in The Times today.
Governor OFerrall makes a simple
statement which entirely vindicates him.
II any vindication were necessary, IS
TO the absurd charge.
1t is more in scTrow than In anger that
we have noted the readiness with which
Virginia papers have seized upon every
sort o: pretext, however absurd. TO attack
the Governor OF the State. and TO annoy.
and, II possible, humiiiato him, because
he has had the courage TO stand up for
his convictions. Such things are not only
had morals, but bad politics. Surely it
can do Virginia no good for the press

that not even one OF virsinia's most
honored sons Is to be tolerated. n he

THE COUNTRY SAFE.

In the depth Ct our concern TO save
Virginia from the disgrace Of an cleo
ton return vitiated by fraud, The Times
has. perhaps given less space and en-
phasis than Is due TO the unmistakable
and accomplishing evidences Of an over
whelming verdict against Bryan and Bry-
anism 10y the people Of the United States
on the Sd of November. This result is
now beyond the realm of doubt so far
as human calculations can be depended
on. This or that State may be debatable,
and the majorties in some sections may
be fair subjects for speculation. but OF the
fact that a substantial majority Of the
electors chosen will be instructed against
the Chicago nominee is the conservative
judgment Of candid men Of all parties TO
the struggle.
The rival claims Of enthusiastic parti.
zans. and the estimates set forth by party
officials with a view TO affecting public
sentiment, may be set aside as unreli-
able. or even misleading. There remains
as a basis for sound conclusions the steady
and confident beat Of the business pulse
Of the country, and with the exception
Of high rates for call loans On stocks on
wall street. the absence of actual dis
turbance in the financial currents The
positive forecasts Of prudent Observers.
who have spent weeks in study of the
conditions in the debatable territory, and
II b. -. Ia. 1T 10. 4
oulations to the opposing managers, now
concur with surprising unaminity in de-
nying Bryan's claim 10 the electoral vote
OF single State in the Middle West.
This judgment is confirmed by the trend
Of events in sporting circles; and, while
wasers prove nothing, the absence Of
takers OF long odds against the Chicago
nominee proves a great deal, viz: that
the supporters Of that candidate share
in the general belief that he is doomed 10
defeat.
SO let our ffiends everywhere be Of
good cheer. The day of their deliverance
from the dread Of panic and misrulc which
has hung like pail over the country
since the betrayal Of Democracy to the
cause of unrest and unroasOn is near
al hand. And the South will not be with
out her share in the triumph for sound
money and sound principles. Maryland
and Kentucky win lend their potent
voices TO condemnation Of the vicious and
dangerous theories formulated at Chi
oago in the name of Democracy and
others CT their sisters will join in that
protest if their will is not strangled in
the utterance by fraudulent and tyranni-
cal election methods. Virginia's verdict
is ready, too and we doubt If all the
powers of intimidation and chicanery can
stihe it.

set it's face and raised its voice against
lynching. no matter how hcinous the

the demoralizing effect Of oil infractions
OF the law which are in any way coun-
tenanccd by the people.
Fod this same reason. and In addition 20
its criminality per Sc. The Times has put
itself on record as opposing with all It's

may IN any way interfere with the fun
and free expression OF the popular VIII

occasion TO say just here that we arc as
much opposed 10 coercion or intimidation
or bribery and TO any ana all means
that may be used 10 prevent fun ana

polls as we are to the mcaner practice
Of robblng the ballot box OF the votes

Naturally. we say. man rcsents any

that the majority OF the people Of TINS

it's necessity. It is useless to deny the
fact that there is large lawlcss ole-

are opposed to law and order. and who
are held in check only by the force Of
the law itself But it is plain THAI the
law would be powerlcss were it not up

fore TO the interest OF every law-ab.'ing
citizen that everything should be done
to cultivate this public sentiment, which
is the foundation and support Of the
