THE LAPS IN HAWAII.

The latest story is to the effect that the Sandwich islands wish to be an- nexed to this country because of the number of Japanese that are coming into their territory If the Japanese are desirable immigrants, it is not easy to understand why the Hawaiians de- sire to be protected against them. If they are not desirable immigrants, the question then arises if the United States wants them. It would seem to be incumbent upon these Pacific is lands to show cause why we should help them out of anticipated trouble of this character We suppose few would advocate the taking a Japanese state into the Union, and what we want of a colony thousands of miles away, the great bulk of whose people are made up of South Sea Indians with residents of Japan as the antici- pated leavening element, it is difficult to appreciate.

retriever dog named Roger, and the proceedings consisted wholly in plac- ing silver collar around the dogs neck in recognition of the sagacity Roger displayed in saving the lives of the captain and mate of the sailing barge Eliza, which foundered in North fleet Hope on Sept. 23. The chairman briefly related the circumstances. The barge sprung a leak while the two men in charge were asleep in the cabin. When the water began to flow into the hold, the dog began to bark and to scratch at the cabin door, The men awoke to find that the barge was rap idly sinking. They were just able to reach small boat at the stern, when the barge foundered. The silver col lar was paid for by the members of the sailing barge branch of the society, and was suitably inscribed.

MEN AND THINGS.

General Simon B. Buckner was the guest of honor at the annual banquet given Monday in Boston by the Young Mems Democratic club of Massachu- setts. On Tuesday, 'Forefathers' Day." he went to Plymouth, and We'd nesday visited Fort Warren, in Boston harbor, a place which he last saw when he was taken there prisoner at the close of the rebellion
 David O'Donnell, who was lately or dained to the Roman Catholic priest hood in Boston, is the first graduate of the academic department of Yale university to enter the Roman Catho- lie priesthood, and he is one of the three Roman Catholic priests who have studied at Yale. The other two be- came converted to the Roman Catholic belief after leaving Yale. Mr. O'Don- nell was graduated in the class of 1892. Bishop Creighton will be enthroned as bishop of London on St. Paul's day, January 25.
 Dr Frederick Bancroft, who is to take the place of Dr. von Hoist, the famous historian, at the University of Chicago this winter, is young man of unusual attaiEments in his line He is well known in eastern college | circles through his connection with Columbia and Johns Hopkins uni versailles. Dr. Bancroft was born in Galesburg, H., in 1860, and is gradu- ate of Amherst college and the School of Political Science of Columbia.

AFRAID OF BOSS PLATT.

The course which the contest for the United States senate is taking in New York is instructive to those who are at loss to understand the sources of MT. T. c. Platt's strength in that state.
 It comes largely from the cowardice of his opponents. If there is virtue among them, they are deplorably des- titute of the courage of virtue. There seemed to be a brave movement to as sert themselves the other day in the nomination of MT. Joseph H. Choate, but it is already petering out, as the phrase is. A considerable portion of the supporters of MT. Choate are now saying that they support him not from any personal antagonism to MT. Platt; they have nothing to say against MT. Platt's character as a politician, but they find more senatorial qualities in Mr. Choate. Pusillanimity like this is not only disgusting in itself; it is ab- surd as measure of policy. It makes those who engage in it the sport and the derision of Platt, and passes them as the easiest possible prey into his hands It loses them also the respect of those who respect fidelity to right and manliness in it's support. The anti-Platt movement has become one of the most pitiable of tiascoes in its latest phase of manifestation. It is simply an appeal to MT. Platt to allow
 Mr. Choate to be chosen. He will l laugh at it.

AS TO FEDERAL AID.

At the session of the irrigation con- gress in this city MT. c. c. Wright of California took the ground that federal aid to western irrigation is impracti- cable The San Francisco Chronicle takes issue with MT. Wright and di
 rects attention to the bill passed by the last congress authorizing the pre-
 liminary work to be done upon great federal reservoirs in Wyoming and Colorado. Under this law an officer of the engineer corps is now deliminat- ing sites, and has, it is reported, fixed upon the headwaters of the Platte as the starting point for the most gigantic irrigation system on this continent
 In support of the contention that by federal aid alone can the arid region be reclaimed the Chronicle says:
 "A very large percentage of the mon- ey appropriated by congress is for local purposes. The river and harbor bills are full of local measures. No one ex- poets to confne such aid to a broadly national field. The policy is to aid the general welfare by meeting the public | needs of localities. It is surely of as much importance to the taxpayers who live in the droughty regions of the country to have their districts made productive and habitable as it is to the dwellers upon coast, lagoons to have their swamps and shadows made over into ports of entry. Rights are equal in both cases, and national bene- fits the same in most of them
 "Mr. Wright does not believe in the free gift of arid public lands to the states embracing them, because of job bery, and in this he is quite right As compromise between this disposition of them and a dependence upon fed eral aid he advises that states and territories be permitted to take such land as they will provide reclamation for. But how much would that be? l the great west remain unsettled and untitled their owners do not want the states to go on the land market in com petition with them, and these owners are numerous and strong enough tC have their way. If proposition should come before the legislature o. California to irrigate the rich lands O the Colorado desert and put them or the market, at the expense of the meI who now have irrigated land to sel and of the thousands of farmers an( fruit growers who believe that they are being hurt by over production, i
 would be defeated. The public Oppo
 sition to it would be too strong in tht rural districts alone, to say nothing O

TALK OF THE DAY.

Two new equatorial telescopes have been added to the astronomical equip ment of Johns Hopkins University. They are not large, the lenses being only six inches in diameter, but they are fine types of their class, and bet ter fitted for some branches of practical work than are many larger instru- ments. One of the telescopes was made by Prof. Charles L. Poor and the other by Samuel V. Hoffman, graduate student of the university. The mount ing of these instruments is to be diff ferent from that of most others, in that it is adjustable to any altitude, so that the telescopes can be transferred from place to place according to the necessities or convenience of observa- tion.
 Something like reign of terror ex- ists among the people of Cincinnati as result of what seem to be efforts to poison children. One boy was made seriously ill a week ago by candy that was given him by a strange man whom he met on the street, and since then candy or fruit that contained bits of tobacco and more mysterious sub stances has been offered to children under one pretext or another by per sone whom they did not know, and who have so far eluded the energetic ef- forts the police are making to discov- CT and arrest the miscreants It has | not yet been ascertained, indeed whether one CT several persons are en- gagged in this work, or whether they are criminals or mad men,

There are two things in this life for which man is never prepared-twins.
 The divorce court frequently enables man and wife to live happily ever after.
 A messenger boy may possess plenty of sand-but it isn't quick-sand.
 The easiest thing for boy to catch with bent pin is the school teacher
 It takes about four generations of riches to produce boy without freck- les.
 Kissing fashionable young lady on the cheek is one way to remove paint.
 A man never has real trouble until he has a son big enough to wear his clothes.
 If you praise man to his wife you will usually notice look of surprise on her face.
 Some men are so timid that their good wives have to support them with sewing machines.
 Some teachers who have taught the young idea how to shoot, apparently did not know it was loaded

It's a pity Ian Maclaren's sojourn in this country couldn't have been de- layed a day longer, in order to have enabled him to read the news that our courts have sustained the information al copyright law by restraining an un- authorized publisher from publishing his works, and affirming the exclusive rights of Ian Maclaren's own publisher in this country in the matter.

 We never heard it asserted before that prosperity and chicanery go hand in hand. The Illinois jolt was due entirely to crooked financial methods. Arizona is safe from such disaster so long as her financiers keep straight.

Representative Lemuel. Eli Quigg of New York has begun war on Aims worth R. Spofford, librarian of the congressional library at Washington, with a view to legislating that vener- able and worthy gentleman out of of flee. MT. Quigg will probably find that there is a good deal of affection among the members of congress for Librarian Spofford, and that he can not be turned down without consider able ceremony, at least. Spofford is a good deal of crank, however.

When Mr. Cramp can candidly praise a warship, his opinion as to the com parative seaworthiness and fighting qualities of the vessel should have considerable weight.
