WHAT ApouF HAWAII

The people of the United States, IN
quesionabiy. are opposed to loading up
with colonial perplexities and response
bilities. Disconnected and far-away
possessions inhabited by peoples who
know little of real independence or true
liberty, may do for nations which are
compelled to maintain large standing
armies and big navies; but the United
States would hardly eccept Canada,
much less Old Mexico as gift although
both countries are contiguous Yet one
of the first questions that will come be-
fore the Mckinley administration VIII
be that of the proposed Hawaiian an
nexation. Hawaii is run practically by
Americans. yet it is long ways on, us
original Inhabitants being savages and
majority of the present people but
half civilized. Ours is not the KIND OF a
government to deal with any but en-
lightened peoples. We have as nation
exterminated the aboriginal race of this
continent. We could not govern them.
The circumscribed Indian Territory
proves problematicai civilization TO
which this government has never
moved equal to satisfactorily regulating
and controlling
But there is Hawaii only waiting Tor
the administration which attempted to
saddle them with a disreputabie queen
to get out. waiting for the advent OF
Mckinley and his Republican congress.
There has been no change in the att
tude Of the people of Hawaii toward this
country. They want annexation Iheir
| congress has formally expressed Ha-
waiian sentiment in favor OF this step.
Representatives of the Hawaiian repub-
lie have been quietly laying their plans
to promote annexation during Aekin-
ley's administration. Ex-Secretafy + os-
ter. who has recently returned from
Hawaii, says that unless the United
States annexes that country some other
nation will do SO, to the manifest injury
! OF American interests in the Pacific.
It will be remembered that during the
! latter part Of President Harrison's ad'
ministratiOn a proposed annexation
| treaty was sent to the senate, but was
not acted upon before President Cleve'
land came into Office, and he then re-
called it. Public sentiment in the United
| States has not yet crystallized on the
subject. There are some very earnest
advocates and some equally earnest op
ponents of the plan. But it is matter
worthy of consideration, and it is quite
certain that it will have to be consioer
| ed in the near future.

TRAMP HUSBANDS.

Hazen accounts for the difference De

FIrzsIMMONS' ILL LUCK.

The best that may be said for Mr..
Fitzsimmons is that he is the victim OF
some madcap but no less sinister tate,
which is trying its best to persuade him
to leave this continent If he can really
find it in his heart to do so. he should
pull out at once and leave Corbett. the
purses. the clubs and America behind
him. He is hoodooed. Ever since he left
New Zealand this unhappy Fate has
followed him, tripping him, throwing
him up. flattening him out. In theat-
rical performance he up and struck
man lightly on the chin, and the man
keeled over and died. Later, after a
great deal of trouble, he got chance TO
meet Mr.. Corbett and have it out with
him. Texas was selected. 1t was gen.
orally supposed at that time that Texas
would stand anything. 10 and behold,
young governor puts his foot down,
and the fight is ended then and there.

Of wearing q yellow jacket because ne
could not thrash the Japs with Chinese
troons armed with parasols and fans.
After the war was over, however, it was
understood that he had been restored to
the imperial favor. Once again his pea
cock feathers foated in the breeze and
his yellow jacket enyeloped his manly
form and took on, if possible, a yellower
hue. to show the world that he was the
Ii Hung Chang of old. But Lis glori-
Gus summer on the continent of Europe
and in the United States was quickly
turned into the winter of discomfort
when he again set foot upon his native
soil. Dispatches received at San Fran
cisco bring the sad intelligence that ne
is in disgrace. Unfortunately, only a
brief explanation of the causes which
led to his downfall is given. He entered,
il is stated, the imperial park and hunt
ng grounds without sanction. Therefore
he IS to be deprived of all his ranks and
decorations and years salary to boot.
1t would be interesting to know why
a man of Ii Hung Chang's knowledge
of affairs Should have been guilty of the
heinous cffense Of going into the imper-
ial park and hunting grounds without
craving the permission of his Imperial
sovereign. 1t cannot be possible that he
was ignorant of the rules, and no doubt
the park commissioners had posted pla-
cards advising all trespassers not only
to keep of the grass but to keep out OF
the grounds. if that We're the august en-
perOr's pleasure. Moreover. if the com
missioners had neglected. their business
man of the world ike ii Hung Chang
should have known without warning
that not even The lord Of the three pea
cock feathers and the yellow jacket
could invade the park If the emperor de-
sired to maintain strict secluslon. But
perhaps the distinguished yiceroy was q
villful offender, although we should
never have been able 10 make this as
SUMPTION but for the generous manner
in which he revealed his idiosyncracies
during his recent visit to the United
States. 1t was then made as plain al
day that although the oriental character
is full of intrigue and subtlety, it has
also the feminine weakness of curiosity
developed to An abnormal degree. No
an American statesman was introduced
to Ii Hung Chang who was not pu
through the most drastic pumping
that it was ever the lot Of mortal Il
endure.
Therefore the story Of his disgrace
and the cause of it are inventions, Oh
else Ii Hung Chang is victim to his
consuming curiosity. Perhaps there
were things in the imperial park ant
hunting grounds which he longed II
gaze upon, but which the emperor KEEP
sacred to his own enraptured vision
Like Mother Eve. or perhaps because hi
was a descendant of the first and mos
illustrious victim of curiosity, Ii Hung
Chang could not resist the temptation tt
.sknow it ALL If this is so, his fat'
should serve as warning to all wh(
are Of an inquisitive turn Of mind.
