The Chief Justice who owns the
building in which the Annexation
Club is located has changed the alb
noxious yellow color of the building
to a darker hue more 10 consonance
with the prospects OF annexation.
By the way, where will our dear
little Chief Justice, etc. be if Hawaii
should be annexed? The ermine OF
his exalted Office would fall from
his shoulders and the "yellow" office
on Merchant Street would probably

The New Year is always regarded,
somewhat absurdly parhaps, as the
season when many turn over a new
leaf" and formulate new rules for
the conduct Of their life. AS rule
these rules share the fate Of those
good resolutions with which the
road 10 the underlined Hades is al
legged to be paved. In this city,
however, during the past two
months or so, there have been men,
and women, who have courageously
and very benefcially to themselves,
their relatives and friends, taken
time by the forelonk and adopted
another course. AT the Hagey In
stitute, for example, nearly 40 cases
have been treated, and OF this num-
Der a large proportion have com
ploted their course as Graduates

approaching the end OF their term

Three hundred and one Japanese
students" were turned loose upon
the town this morning. We are
told that these men did not produce
any cash in hand but that an official
Of bank appeared and stated
that the necessary amounts had
been deposited to the credit OF each
student" and was available when
ever desired. Why are these "stu-
dents" coming here? Not to work
surely, because we learn that it is
quite difficult to obtained Japanese
labor at present in Honolulu. We
also learn that there is now about
5000 japanese here who have served
as soldiers ia the late war. Are
they here to gain points on military
science from Colonel Mclean, or are
they simply here for their health?
The police might be interested in
finding, how these students" and
SOLDIERS" make their living. That
is if the police can spare time from
the more congenial occupation OF
hunting Chinese opium smokers and
gamblers.

sion to reopen the question of annexa-
ZION as soon as the President-eIect shall
be inaugurated.
As a prominent BostOnian remarks
who has just returned from a long Wis
it TO Hawaii, the social and political
conditions in the Islands have already
the stamp of the United States" about
them. The assimilating process has
been going on so long that no jar OF
change will be noticeable when annex
alton takes place-Only quickening of
activities and frightening of hope.
Annexation will bring with il the
immediate construction of a trans-Pa-
cific cable. 1t will lessen some of the
difficulties in the way of the growth
Of our Pacific merchant fleet. 1t will
in manifold ways help us regain our
ascendancy on the ocean. And our re
firing Presidents anomalous course in
endeavoring to prevent its cOnsumma-
ton will ever remain one of the Curl
Osities of our national history.

After reading the campaign cor
respOndence between Chairman
Butler Of the PopuIist National
Committee and Candidate Tom
Watson of Georgia, one is re
minded Of the fate of the house
divided against itself, While Mr..
Bryan had the endorsement of
parties representing ali the les
and isms," his managers were un-
able to keep peace in the camp.
BESIDES talking too much, Mr..
Bryan had the misfortune of hay
ing too many tails to his political
kite. Success in political cam
paigns depends to no small eX-
tent upon the ability to keep the
headquarters in harmonious con
ditiOn. Until that is done it is
useless to try to educate the peO-
pie.

THE PARADISE OF THE PACIFIC.
TSt. Paul Pioneer Press.l

| TSt. Paul Pioneer Press.
In no part of the United States has
1.-The end of President Cleveland's term
been awaited with more eagerness than
| in PARKWAY Hawaii When he with
drew from the Senate the Annexation
Treaty framed by President Harrison,
he planted himself in the way of as
pirations which had for more than
generation quickened the pulses of all
the more progressive elements of the
Hawaiian population-aspira to-
ward union with our great Republic,
which had weIl-nigh reached fru1tlon
when on Cleveland's inauguration he
so strangely reversed the policy OF his
predecessor and slammed the door in
the islanders faces. No American Pres
ident ever made himself so cordially
hated in Hawaii. It's people came to
us with gifts. They offered us do
minion over the Paradise of the Pa
cifc.' They rendered us the key to
! the storehouses of the ocean and of
the Orient They offered their Island
empire as a stepping stone for our
commerce, as a refuge for our navies,
| as a bulwark of inestimable value in
Ilong-coveted boon of American citi-
zenship-shelter under our flag, the
sight of whose folds unrolling over the
! Government House at Honolulu had
n nIn nlNin0t in their
dreams But they were repealed with
insult, and the wrong was deepened
lby Cleveland's inexplicable attempt to
overturn this newly organized Repub-
Ilican Government and to re-enthrOne
! the faithless and degraded Queen Lii
uokalani The Stars and Stripes,
which they had run up in anticipation
of the ratification of the Annexation
Treaty, were pulled down by the Amer
| lean Presidents order, and they were
left. officially unfriended, to an uncer-
tain destiny.
| The strength of the Hawaiian's at
tachment to the United States, and
their faith in the reciprocal good feel
ing toward Jn6M Oh Iue vast udJOIlly
of our people, despite the strange at
titude of our President, is shown by
their patience under Cleveland's af-
front, and their Willingness to wait,
with their rejected offers in their
hands, until he should be superseded.
They have put aside alluring offers
from England and other nations, of
protectorates, commercial unions and
the like. They refused to cede to Great
BRIAN one of their small, uninhabit-
ed islands as place for the landing of
an ocean cable-a cession, by the way,
strangely recommended by President
Cleveland. They have felt that they
had only to bide their time, and friend
lier hands would open for them the
door of our Republic. And now, with
the election of Mckinley, they feel that
those friendlier hands will soon be
clothed with power, and their loyal
patience is to be rewarded. There is
joy in Hawaii, and the Island Govern
ment is reported to be again already
preparing to appoint new Commits

1t is a Honolulu rumOr that eX-
President Harrison will be the
next United States Minister to
HaW ali, he having refused to ac-
ccpt Il position in President-elect
Mck;nley's cabinet. We are not
prepared to vOuch for the truth of
this statement, but Mr.. Mckinley
could not make a more apprOpri-
ate selection. 1t would indeed be
very appropriate for Mr.. Harrison
to assume charge of the legation
here and be on hand to put the
finishing touches to the treaty of
annexation of which he was the
author. Residence of a year or so
in Hawaii would not be distaste-
ful, and no little satisfaction
would attend the personal com
pletiOn of work which Mr.. Har-
rjsOn started while Chief EXecu-
tive of the United States. We can
assure Mr.. Harrison a rousing
welcome should he decide to take
a short official outing in this coun-

CUBA AGAIN LOOMS UP.

The cause of free Cuba has sud
denly attained a prominence that
is giving General Weyler no end
of wOrriment, and Spain is in
cIined to assume a threatening at
titude toward the United States.
After spending a whole summer
in desultory fighting, the Cubans
and Weyler's Spaniards have be
gun fighting in earnest, and ac-
cOrding to the latest reports the
Spaniards got very much the
worst of it. Weyler has seen tit
he reports having seen nothing of
General MaceO, the several thou
sand slain Spaniards left in the
ravines where engagements took
place demonstrate that MaceO
was very much in evidence some
where along the line. Weyler's
attempt to wipe out the insur-
gents seems to have been a signal
failure
The recent events have awaken
ed American interest in Cuba and
a corresponding disgruntled dis
position in Spain and it is by
no means impossible that the
hot headed Spaniards may make
some foolish move that will give
a ring of reality to the mutter-
ings of war. That filibustering ex
petitions are constantly leaving
American shores, that American
money is being contributed, and
American citizens are doing what
they can to aid the insurgents
combines to place the United
States on SPANS unfriendly list,
although the diplomats continue
to beam cordially with their stud
led diplomatic smiles. Recog-
milton of the insurgents at this
time would very likely be taken
by Spain as a declaration of war.
President Cleveland has held off
from taking such action, but it is
not without the range Of posi-
biIities that the popular senti-
ment in the United States will
force him to take more positive
action. During the Congress now
in session the Cuban resolutions
will undoubtedly consume quite
as much time as appropriation
bills. and some very positive act
ion may be anticipated. The prin-
cipal danger of war is in the quick
temper of the Spaniards. If such
nations as England and the Unit
ed States were involved, sober
Judgment would follow the first
flash of jingoism, but with Spain
an overt act is at any time liable
to force the United States to up
hold its national honor, and once.
the fighting is begun there is no
telling. where it might end. The
dawn of Cuban liberty seems
near at hand, and it is to be hoped
that the sober Judgment of the
United States will prevail in pre-
venting any entangling alliances
that will lead to greater destruc-
