The estate" of Hawaii.

One of the strongest reasons in
opposition to the annexation Of Ha-
wall is that, although in no manner
suited for Statehood, there is a pro-
liability that political exigencies
would soon result in it's admission as
State for the purpose OF adding
two votes in the United States
Senate to the membership OF some
political party driven to such des-
perate step to retain control. Cap
tain Mckee Of Indiana, a we'll.
known Republican politician, and
an employee of Congress, says that
he thinks Hawaii could be main
tanned as Territory for thirty years
preparatory to its admission as a
State, but he admits that treaty
provision to this effect would not be
binding on Congress. We have
seen several new States within re-
cent years admitted, not because
there was any positive necessity, but
to increase the Republican vote in
the Senate, and we have also noted
the boomerang effect OF his in the
action Of these States in going over
to the Democracy and the Populists.
Hawaii is doing very we'll as she is,
admitted by the powers to be within
the sphere OF American influence,
but to annex her and her mongrel
and leprous population would be
equivalent to opening Pandora's
box, -Philad' lphia Ledger.

The Hawaiian Scheme

Everything points to the fact that
the annexation of Hawaii is a mat
ter which has been cut and dried,
but it is to be hoped the opposition
in the Senate will rally sufficient
strength to defeat scheme which is
clearly in the interest Of ring of
spectators and politicians, and
which, il successful, will cause to be
injected into our body polite large
mongrel element.
Senator Gallery hit the mark
squarely when, in recent interview
with New York paper, he said;
"The Americans in Hawaii are
sugar-planters to great extent,
They own the largest and most valu-
able properties. They are tired OF
keeping up a government called by
courtesy a republic. A good way
out Of the expense and worry OF
paying taxes and keeping down the
Japanese and Chinese is to transfer
the job to the United States. The

lation alien, unassimilable and I'M
Christian. No republic has -four
ished after conquering or acquiring
dominion beyond the seas, The
destruction Of Carthage was but the
precursor of the destruction Of
Rome.
All the work looking TO the annex
alton OF a colony of lepers nearly
5000 miles from our shores has been
done in the dark, and at no time has
the administration shown the slight
est inclination to take the American
people into its confidence and ascer-
tain their opinion regarding the ac-
QUESTION of territory beyond the
seas. President Mckinley did not
care to hear the people express
themselves on the subject, because
he is well aware OF the fact that the
intelligent classes are opposed to
the annexation scheme, and the
more it is considered the greater be-
comes the opposition.
In the Senate there are men who
are determined to fight against the
ratification treaty to the last ditch,
and there is reason to hope and be-
lieve they will succeed in arousing
public sentiment to such a pitch
that the Senate will be compelled to
yield to the demands Of the people
and reject the treaty.-The Sunday

Annexation Positively Dangerous

Annexation Positively Dangerous
When we say that the chances for
currency reform at the approaching
session OF Congress are slight, we
do not at all mean that the advo-
Gates OF reform should give up the
fight for it, And so when we are
compelled to admit sorrowfully that
the chances OF ratification of the
Hawaiion annexation treaty are ex-
cellent, We would not have the OPP
ponents OF that treaty cease their
struggle against it. Rather should
they redouble their efforts. In this
connection we would call attention
to the plank in the Republican ma
tional platform of last year. 1t
went pretty far but it did not de-
mand annexation:
"rhe Hawaiian Islands should be
controlled by the United States, and
no foreign power should be permit
ted to interfere with them"
Was the convention afraid to use
the word annexation, or did it be-
lieve that annexation would be un-
wise? Certainly the islands can be
controlled" by the United States
without annexing them. Indeed,
they are virtually controlled by the
United States now. The present
government was made possible by
the active assistance of a United
States Minister, backed by United
States marines. There is nothing
that the present Hawaiian Govern
ment would not do to please this
country. The predominant influence
in the islands is American. No for
eign nation is interfering with Ha
waii, or threatening to interfere with
it. japan, OF whom our jingoes
we're in such terror, has expressly
dsavowed any intention of inter
fering with the islands. There is
not a nation in the world that
would do anything in Hawaii that
it thought would displease the
United States. Our interests are EN-
tirely safe, and they are known to
be so. In a word, we have all the
control we need or ought to want.
Yet the campaign for annexation
goes on apace. The President faVors
the policy, aud it is said that two
thirds OF the Senate will vote for
the treaty. OF course, parties may
go beyond their platforms in some
matters, and fall short OF them in
others, and we do not mean to in
sst hat the Republican platform
commits the party against anuexa-
ton. Indeed, it may even be adj
mitted that the plank may, by
not extravaganza construction, be
made to read as a declaration in
favor of annexation. But the point
is that the party IL not bound 10y
its platform to take this dangerous
step. When an uttarance can be
construed in either OF two ways, it
is not unreasonable to demand that
the construction in favor OF wise
policy should be- followed. And we
believe that the annexation OF Ha-
waii would be not simply un wise,
but positively dangerous. For that
reason we would urge all those who
share this view to go to work to pre-
vent the ratification OF the treaty
1t is, at least, good war, and it
was, we believe, Sir Philip Sidney
who said that whenever one heard
of good war he should go to it.

is stopping at The City Hotel, where

In conversation recently he said that
it is with great delight that he visits
Frederick each year. He has Travelled
nearly all over the world and never
vet has seen the equal of Frederick
County in point of beauty and fertility.
Other places are grander; the falls of
Niagara are wonderful and gigantic,
the Canons of the Colorado are un-
equealed for rugged splendor and the
sights of foreign lands are sublime and
historically interesting, but for peace

point on the Catoctin range overlook
ing either the Middletown or Fred

is world renowned, but il falls behind
