The Hawaiians are unanimously
opposed to any closer political union
with America. The Portuguese
colony comprising one-tenth Of the
total population, favors annexation
only when statehood is guaranteed
to the islands. The most intelligent
and the wealthiest foreign citizens
oppose any effort Of gaining annex
alton, at least, until the children of
the soil OF the soil ask for it, and
finally the Asiatics, who now hold a
majority OF the total population,
oppose any attempt to hoist the
Stars and Stripes over the Hawaiian
Islands.

Under such circumstances what
prospects are there for Hawaii being
admitted to the union of the great
Republic2 A few of the men who
advocate annexation to the empty
benches of the hall where "mass"
meetings are held, realize the hope
lessness OF their cause. They still
pursue, however, their foolish policy
and they should be met with energy
wherever they go, be it in Washing
ton, London or Honolulu.

waiians is one of his motives for OPP
posing annexation he is casing
pearls before swine.

TWO MOBILIZE IpEAs.

In his address last evening General
the Chamber of Commerce, made some
suggestions which will attract atten-
ton, and at least one of them will re-
ceive warm public approval This is
his suggestion that the Chamber build
in the center of the city building such
as would do credit to both the Cham
Der and the city and be standard of
architecture and an example of conven-
fence. He showed how his plan could
be safely and even profitably carried
out. He would have the building built
and bonded, and he pertinently and
truly remarked that the bonds would
be far more secure, profitable and re-
liable as an investment than one-third
of the investments that members of the
Chamber have made during the past
twenty-five years in western loans or
holes in the ground in the sides of
mountains at distant points," In say
ing "one-third" President Ford drew
it mild" as some of his hearers sadly
realized. Few investments of any kind
are safer than the bonds of such a
building would be, and few are more
steadily and reliably profitable, We
hope that the building will soon be
built. 1t is needed by the Chamber and
it is needed by the city, which has too
few buildings that are either orna-
ments, standards of architecture or ex-
amples of convenience.
Another important suggestion made
by President Ford was that Orange
street be extended from Crown or
George to Water. This idea is well
worth attention, and if anything is to
be done the sooner it is done the better.
Mr.. Ford makes a strong argument in
favor of the extension.

4 SENSIBLE MOVE.

Philadelphia is generally looked upon
as a little sleepy and slow, but she is
not so sleepy and slow that she cannot
notice and act against condition of
things which exists unnoticed in some
other cities which have reputation for
more alertness and rapidity than Phil
adelphia. 1t has been discovered in
Philadelphia that the public school sys-
tenn does not do just what it ought to
dothat is, give those who come under
it good grounding in the primary es-
sentials of education. 1t has been dis
covered that a majority of the children
are compelled by circumstances to
leave school for work before completing
the grammar grade, and it has become
plain that the course of studies should
be so arranged as to give these children
all the possible capital of preparation
for their life work. This is summarized
as good reading, correct spelling, rap
i'd and legible penmanship, good COM
position and knowledge of the multi
plication table with its congeners, adj
dition, subtraction and division-the
three RS again. As an illustration of
the poor results of the present method
the testimony of professor in large
business college in Philadelphia is cited.
to the effect that of 1900 boys and girls
most of whom had attended the Phila-
delphia public schools, not one, when
admitted to the business college, could
correctly write a letter Their spelling
was equally bad, and in this latter re-
spect the children who had been edu-
Gated in the country schools took the
lead.
An attempt is to be made in Philadel-
phia to so arrange things that the pub
lie school system will do the work 1t
ought to do. Success to this attempt.
And if it succeeds perhaps by and by
some places in Connecticut where there
are public school systems will wake up
to the highfalutin and inefficient char
acter thereof.

IMPROVING THE JURY SYSTEM.

The jury system has failed in such
an important way in New York and
Brooklyn that there is not a little joy
over the passage of the special jury
bill by the legislature and the signing
thereof by the governor. The new law
provides the means of obtaining su-
perior order of juries for cases that
need them. 1t creates a special Com
missioner of Jurors to be appointed and
to be removable by the Appellate Divi-
sion of the Supreme court for the de-
partment in which the county is stu
special list of three thousand selected
names, taken from the regular jury
list after an examination to ascertain
qualifications of intelligence, character,
and freedom from bias on general ac-
counts, such as objecting to capital
punishment, circumstantial evidence,
&C. In short, this special list is in
tended to contain the best available
material for really intelligent and fair
minded jurymen without regard to any
particular case. From the special list
the special jury is to be drawn for any
trial that may require it, that question
being determined by the Appellate Di-
vision on proper application by either
the prosecution or defense. 1t will de-
pend upon the importance or intricacy
of the case, or any exciting circum-
stances that may make it difficult to
get jury or to have fair trial under
the ordinary procedure.
The New York Times believes that
not only will this system give assur-
ance of intelligent, upright, and fair
minded jurymen for important criminal
trials by excluding all others from the

The attempt to collect taxes on per-
sonal property is attended with not
much more success in Ohio than else
where, although in Ohio special inquis-
itors are employed to ferret out this
kind of property. 1t escapes the as
SCISSOR there as well as elsewhere. Sta
tistics compiled by an advocate of tax
reform show that the assessed valua-
ton of personal property in Ohio de-
creased S14,700,000 from 1894 to 1895,
while the assessed valuation of real
estate increased by about the same
amount Taking longer period for IL
lustration, it is seen that personal prop
erty assessed was sS.000,OO0 less in 1896
than in 1875, during which period as
sessed real estate increased by $751;
100000. The inquisitorial law was pass
ed in 1885, and it thus appears that ten
years before it went into operation the
personal property returns were eight
millions larger than ten years after its
enactment. The inquisition was evil

 From up and down the Colorado river comes report Of rich strikes oi ore and placer fields. With the ad- vent of big mills and low working charges the river country will turn out millions of dollars in gold and sil- yer yearly.
 In the bottom of the main shaft Of the Ibex mine in Mohave county, a very rich body of ore has been struck The mine is now being worked in an intelligent manner, and will undoubt- edly be put on a paying basis under the present management.
 The Grown mine in Yuma county, is doing very nicely and Is turning out 100 cars daily of s6.jO and s7 ore. An other 100 feet in depth here will in- crease grade os this ore to BIO easily as all the ore chutes show that they improve with depth. The mill is crushing $50 tons per day and will render good accounting when clean up day comes around.
 Journal Miner: A. B. Boyle and Thomas Mcdonald are still at work on their Bald Butte mine, in Mint valley district. The ore body is six feet wide and varies in value from sl4 to sIOO in gold. While no average sample has been taken clear across the entire width of the ore body it is thought that 1t will average over S30 per ton, the average assays of fair samples taken being away above that. The proposition is splendid one for capital to take hold of to develop.
 At Hedges, Yuma county, the Queen mine which was closed up on account of fire in the timbers in cave, is once more contributing it's high grade ore to the mill. There is quite quan- tity of water in the bottom of this mine, having been run in to put out the fire. A powerful pump has been purchased at Los Angeles which will soon lift the water out and then the 100 and 300 foot levels will be ready to furnish the high grade ore that has heretofore done so much to make bullion.
