Il CANARD EXPOSED.

Throughout all the discussion of the
Nicaragua canal bill from begin
ming to end. and also through the de-
bate on the proposed arbitration treaty
with Great Britain, there ran a con-
slant assumption by the advocates Of
and particularly Great Britain, were
trying to forestaIl the United States
and obtain the right to build the canal
themselves. We have had dispatches
periodically from Washington for the
last few years stating that Great
Britain had made oyertures to Nicara-
qua, or had come to a secret under
standing with her, by which, if only the
guaranteeing of the canal companys
bonds could be prevented, England
would obtain the concession and go
ahead with the work.
1t was evident enough to any one
who looked at it seriously that
this was a mere bluff, part
of the scheme Of the canal pro
this governments money in their own
pockets. If there is anything that
Great Britain does not want, it is this
interoceanic canal. She is enterprising
enough in foreign affairs, but she has
her own highway now across the Amer
lean continent entirely under her own
control; and if there is anything that
she would avoid, as shown by the
progress Of the Venezuelan affair, it is
coming into collision with the United
States in any quarter of the world.
Let this country announce that it is
going to build a canal across the 18TH
mus. and that will settle it at any
time, as far as Great Britain is con-
cerned. 1t does not need a bonus Of
100000, 900 to lot of boodlers to ac-
complish that.
Furthermore, we were told, when
the state department was informed
by the representa- tives of the great
er republic Of Central America
that the canal ccmpanys concession
had expired, that this was another at
tempted diversion in the interest of
Great britain. Great Britain, it was
declared, was after that concession.
and was simply trying to scare this
country off the ground. Now that
the canal bill has been defeated.
for all time. let US hope, there
is published an interview by our min
lister to Nicaragua with the president
of that country, in which the latter
states positively, first, that the conces-
sion Of the Maritime Canal company
has been forfeited; second, that his
government would be very glad to
transfer the contract to the United
States if it wants it; ard third, that
there has been no offer from any other
government on earth to take this con-
tract if we rejected it. These state
ments are not drawn out by judicial
questioning to serve a purpose, but are
made, 1t is said, at the express request
of President zslaya TO set at rest mis-

REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR.
West Vii ginia'S First One in Twenty

CHARLESTCWN, W. Va, March AT
high noon today Hon. G. W. Atkinson Rep)

the capitol, as governor of West Virginia
and the Democratic official retired The oath
OF Office was administered by Judge Mcwhor-
ton, the only Republican of the supreme
court, and elected at the same time The
inaugural address was lengthy and outlined
the policy which will be a progressive one.
This is the first time for twenty-five years
that the Republicans have controlled the
state.
The city was filled with people from all
over the state the pent-uP enthusiasm Of the
Republicans for thirty years burst forth in
all it's magnitude Long before the hour for
Inauguration the surging mass CT people gath
cred in front of the state house in order to
be in position to sec the most popular man
In West Virginia inaugurated as the chief ex-
ecutive Of the state. Gov. McCorkle in a
splendid oraticn introduced tho governor-elect
to the anxious popuiace. Gov. McCorkle paid
a splendid tribute to Gov. Atkinson, who in
a twenty minutes speech outlined the policy
of his administration.
At 2 o'clock q monster parade formed on
Kanawha street and marched over the prin-
cipal streets Of the city. 1t was reviewed by
the governor and staff and invited guests
from a grand stand erected in the capitol
yard. At 1880 a grand display Of fireworks
was given and at 9 O'Clock the governors re-
ccption took place followed by the grand ball
and banquet.

NEW YORK, March 4.-Senator Wolcott,
of Colorado, who sailed for Europe some
weeks ago. returned on tie Majestic today and
started Immediately for Kashington. Senator
Wolcott went abroad vita the hope Of promot-
ing an international congress OF bimetanis.s
Mr.. Wolcott said: g g

interesting one. Nc time was wholly spent

AT THE THEATERS.

The performance Of Half King at the
METROPOLITAN last night demonstrated one
fact in a highly agreeable manner. That Is
the pre-eninence Of Francis Wilson over all
his rivals in the comic opera field. The
funny man of comic opera Is allowed so wide
a SCOPE that the word legitimate is obviously
misappied in describing the efforts OF such
a player, but one can justly characterize Mr.
Wilson as an artist even in his moments OF
most extravagant bufroonery. His whole per-
Torrance is seasoned with delightfully."- hu-
morous flavor, and Illuminated with a scin-
tillating wit and keen intelligence that dis
tinguish the artist from the mere clown
Light breezy and graceful. possessing dis
tinct enunciation and clear voice OF sym
pathetic quality. Mr.. Wilson is never de
trop on the stage. He is continuously natur-
ally and irresistibly funny.
But while this admirable comedian is
much of Half King" he is not all of 1t.
The music of Ludwig EngIander and the
.lfbretto Of Harry B. Smith reflect credit upon
those gentlemen. The score. while far from
pretentioua, contains many tuneful num-
bers. and the dialogue fulfills It's agreeable
purpose.
The company which is thoroughly salts
factory, contains one shining light besides
Mr.. Wilson and that is Miss Lulu Chaser
a young woman Of exceptional talent. In the
role Of Pierette, the mountebanks adopted
daughter the audience beheld young artistic
who excels in point of histrionic ability any
comic opera prima donna seen here in several
seasons. Miss CHASER is a finished comedi-
emo, and a most expressive singer. Her
naive ways and pretty features lend a dis
tinctive interest and charm to every scene in
which she appears.
Half a King is mounted in royal style.
The scenery is picturesque to a degree.
The excellence Of the cast OF De Koven &
Smiths latest opera, The Mandarin" has
excited a great deal of comment, including
as 1t does such capable and popular artists as
Bertha Waltzinger Adele Richie, George G.
Boniface Jr., Henry Norman, Joseph Sheehan,
George Honey and Sam and Dave Marion,
and in this connection Mr.. De Koven re-
marked: II have been singuIarly fortunate in
this respect ever since the production OF my
first opera, THE Begun, in 1887. The com
pany which presented The Begun" was
truly remarkable one, every one OF the prin-
cipais having since headed company Of his
or her own. 1t included De Wolf Hopper
jefferson De Angels, Harry McDonough, Digby
and Laura Joyce Bell, Harry Crisp, Hubert
Wilkie, Ed Hot, Nine. Cottrely, Marion
Manola, Annie Myers and Josie Knapp.
There are several sensational scenes In 1.-THE
War Of Wealth" which meet with great ap-
plause and appreciation at the hands OF the
audiences at the Grand Opera house the
present week. The play is admirably present
ed, Thomas Wise as Maj. Picllney Poindex-
ter. Fanny Mcintyre as Helen Raymond, and
Frances Whitehouse Halls Forley de-
serving special praise for their efficient In
depreciation OF the roles they present. To-
morrow at 2:30 the only remaining matinee
OF the engagement will be given.

clans, that It has taken more than
half q dozen caucuses to get a council,
solidly Republican, with the exception
of single member, to brand itself by
turning good man out of Office to put
an unknown man in.
The same thing is true, in an even
more marked degree, of the changes
on the school board. Let it be
understood clearly that we do not
reflect upon Mr.. King, who wants
to have charge of the pa
troll telegraph, or upon either of the
estimable gentlemen who have been
named for school inspectors. What we
want to emphasize is the ridiculous
and scarcely less than criminal policy
of turning out a man who has learned
his business until he knows how to
perform it to the best public advan-
tage, in order to put in man without
experience, who, with the best inten-
lions, and with good natural ability,
must necessarily serve some years be-
fore he can administer his office as
satisfactorily 20 tne people as the one
whom he succeeds.
Taking up the case of the school in
spectors, it is admitted on all sides that
the men who were not reappointed
were good men, had done good work,
and had nothing against them except
the fact that they were not appointed
by the present mayor. While both of
them have done excellent work on the
board, the case cf DR.. Abbott is espe-
know what DR.. Abbott's political be
lief is, nor does it care. 1t does know
that he has been president Of the
school board, and has given to it an un
and personal interest. The schools of
this city owe a large debt to DR.. Abb
bolt fer his willing sacrifice of large
private interests in the discharge of a
duty without special attractions and
without remuneration. He was not q
mere peg in a hole, he was not con-
tent to go through the official routine,
but he devoted hours and days and
weeks to familiarizing himself with the
details Of school work and school needs
until he became thoroughly posted in
every particular.
Now, what sense is there in allow
ing such a man tc retire when his
term of office is up? The knowledge
that he has acquired is worth thou
sands Of dollars to the city. Our school
funds are insufficient, and the need of
the hour is to make economies where
they will hurt least At this moment,
when acquaintance with the work is of
most about it and who has shown him
self rarely skilled in dealing with it, is
asked to step down and give place to
a successor who has everything to
learn, without any assignable reason
save that somebody asks his place in
the name of the Republican party
There is not a business interest in this
city, down to that carried on in the
pettiest shanty, that could be managed
in such a way. To act thus is a crime
against the great business enterprise
in which all of us are partners, and
whose name is the city government.
! Since public protest is wholly unavaiI-
| ing to prevent the prostitution Of
public to privete interest, let us have,
as soon as may be. a civil service
act that will put an end to it.

The morning journal must have got
bit on a stock deal, or something Of
the kind, or has it been shaking dice
or had a try at Russian war? Some
thing has upset its usual sleepiness,
and it has wakened to the fact, about
four months after date, that people
have been buying and selling stocks.
Now, there was good deal of stock
buying few months ago, but peo-
pie are now holding them and very
few transactions have occurred of late.
The buying of stocks, like any other
commercial venture, has an element
of uncertainty in it, but the stock
buying here is far removed from
gambling. To buy successfully re-
quires care and some brain power to
look into the future However, the
morning journal need not be unhap-
py, no one has been gambling on a
rise in its shares-that ancient fe-
males very dowdy skirts will remain
quite clean.

such n stipulation, their people cannot
become naturalizcd and vote.
Hut Japan IN 1855 was very anxious
to obtain the franchise for her people.
and the foreign Office has on file n
large mass of correspondence upon
the subject The revolution of 1893
practically saved the Islands from II
japanese vote, for there is very little
doubt but that the government of the
monarchy would have given way un-
der the strong pressure that was
brought to bear upon it. And IL the
japanese had ever got in the thin end
of the wedge it would not have been
long before the whole policy of this
country would have been swung from
Tokyo instead of from Washington.
AS to treaty rights after annexa-
ton, none can be considered save those
with the United States, of which these
Islands will be part. This was ar
.gued by John Sherman in his reply to
wv IiO'tS' w DdDdis anu 10 int
acknowledged international law. To
obtain special rights in Hawaii which
are not the treaty rights which hold
ground in California is impossible.
When Alsace and Lorraine were alb
sorbed by Germany, French treaty
rights with other nations ceased.
When FIJI was annexed to Great Brit
ain, King Thakumbou's treaties, if
any, ceased to exist. In such a mat
ter the contention of Mr.. Nakamura
is utterly without basis and against
all precedent. The article bears every
mark of having been written without
due study of the subject and without
the care necessary to make the argu-
ment at least specious, if not convinc-

The annexation news, though mea-

acter and shows that its friends are
active and have every hope of carry
ing their cause. The Hawaiian pc
tition signed by women, Cinnamon,
children and others, has been present
ed and will follow the due course of
such documents. The question is a
very lively one and there will be quite
strong fight, but the good cause will
win in the end. From indications in

nexation cause is very popular there.

weather has been quite cold, and any
