JnDan's Protest.

The only note of protest against the an
nexation of the Hawaiian islands comes
from Japan. Certain English newspapers,
1t Is true, do not like the project. ana it is
not properly interpreted in Paris, but only
Japan is trying to feel aggrieved. What is
the matter with Japan?
Some recent familiar history answers this
question. When the annexation treaty ne
gotiated under the Harrison administration
was signed, Japan did not rush to the front
with protest as she now has done. Many
of her people We're then in Hawaii Was
she less soicitous about their welfare as it
was likely to be affected by the change of
political sovereignty than she now is? And.
If so, why? The proposition, in large lines
is the same now it was then. The is
lands under that treaty were to become
American territory, and the inhabitants
subject to American law, and that is all
that is now comprehended.
me difference of course is not in the
proposition. but in Japan. Japan at that
time occupied very modest place on the
map. and did not enter into the larger cal
cuiations at all. protest from her then
against any policy of a great nation like
the United States would have been received
with smile. But since then Japan has
been to war. has triumphed over China
has been complimented ON her prowess and
progress, and been persuaded to take a
new view of herself and her destiny. She
demands now to be consulted about things
She looks serious and tries to think that
she doesn't know about that
This protest of course will not affect the
attitude of the administration in the slight
est toward the islands. The treaty is
signed, and the country indorses it. japan
may digest this fact in any way she
pleases. At the same time the suggestion
arises that none of this pother would have
occurred had the first treaty been ratified,
as it would have been if Mr.. Cleveland,
with his fatal facility for laundering, had
not put his oar in. 1t always counts double
to do the right thing at the right time.
And as this is true in the case of Hawaii,
ought not it to be remembered In the case
of Cuba? Whatever is to be done iowa I'd
peace and security for that island, were it
not better that it be done quickly?

improperly signed. the document bearing
the name of "Liliuokalani Dominis,' in
stead of 'Lliuokalani Regina" He thus
placed Mrs DENNIS in the awkward posi-
ton of attesting falsely to a document,
for she signed a statement that she acted
of her own free will and then deliberately
set to this a false signature.
But 1t is all imma terial. Mrs. Dominis
is today a private individual, with dis
reputable monarchical record in Hawaii
posing as a martyr and trying to block The
course of American progress by insinuat-
ing In the path of the annexation treaty
her absurd references in the first person
singular to the people of Hawaii as being
defrauded of their rights-throwing herself
in as a right. There would be More force
in her protest if 1t were based on a plea
for personal consideration, an application
for a pension some such "quid pro
quo, to use the phrase now inspiring the
Ell giish jingoes. But putting herself upon
the toploftical pinnacle of her hereditary
| rights. speaking for her poor people, in
the patronizing tone of still reigning mon
arch, and falling back upon the already re-
pudiated action of the last administration
in her behalf, she becomes absurd. Her
citation of the act of Mr. Cleveland in the
effort to restore her. to power will draw
no sympathy to her. 1t was rather ILL
advised at this juncture. when the chief
desire of the American people is to forget
as far as possible that disgracefli episode
which reflected so much dishonor upon the
| nation. Mrs. Dominis has apparently not
profited by her stay i'll this country. For
this failure she may perhaps righ-fully
hold her Grand Chamberlain 10 account
but in her own responsibility she stands
accused of displaying an utter ignorance
of history and a total misconception of the
wishes of the citizens of the republic

Resentment.

The Summer girl is angry. AS she scans
the tariff bill
Her eyes fill up with moisture and her
voice shakes with thrill,
Which shows that rege volcanic smolders,
dangerous, in her heart:
1t proclaims that there'n be trouble If she
ever takes start.
Says she: "'Tis worse than monstrous,
this tryannical display
OF the power which congressman enjoy,
to take our rights away!
1 care not what they choose to do with
coffee, tea or malt,
But it's wicked usurpation when they put
tax on salt!
Their ways are dark and secret, but the
genius feminine
Is quick to find deception, and their pur-
pose divine;
This is, plainly. but portion of their wo-
man-hating scheme,
For they know large quantities of salt are
used to freeze iCe-cream'

From the New York Tribune.
We do not doubt that the annexa ton
treaty ought to be and will be ratified.
Forebodirgs of evil are largely insincere
or unreasonable. This is the precise re-
Verse of aggression. 1t is cordial acqui-
escence in the deliberate and intelligent
aspiration of republic closely allied TO the
United States and dependent upon our CO.
operation for the realization of it's natural
destiny. Time and intercourse and immi-
grafton to a territory rich in undeveloped
resources will inevitably produce all the
conditions essential to convenient and
equitable government and to high civil
cation. The projected union will be pro-
life of blessings not only to those united
but to all mankind.

Not beginning a Colonial Polio,

From the Newark Advertiser
1t is grossly absurd to speak of Hawaiian
annexation as the beginning of colonial
policy on the part of the American Gov
eminent. 1t Is a great stretch of the i'm

Agree.

Leading democrats and republicans meet
on the common ground that the islands
should not be allowed to fall into the hands
of any foreign power. Both recognize that
Hawaii cannot sustain herself, and that
sooner or later she must pass under some
other flag, and they argue that, in order to
our self-protection, that flag should be the
stars and stripes.

er which is Only too apparent. 1t re-
quircs some effort to imagine all the
work incidental to $4,000 miles Of rail-
partment "Who can deMct," says
Joseph Nimmo, Jr., in an admirable ar
ticle in the Forum, "the enormitv of
saddling upon our national government
would attach to the ownership and con-
troll Of $4,000 miles of railroad and
Of placing upon the pay rolls Of the
government 100000 railroad employees,
which number, under national adminis-
tratior, would undoubtedly be enor-
mously increased!
Besides, petitions for -he construc-
tion of new lines, backed by fierce
political pressure, would come up from
states, cities and towns, in all parts Of
the country. No government officers
or commission would be able to with
stand this torrent of appeal, although
not one in ten of such new lines might
ever pay running expenses. Such a
policy would probably end in the bank
ruptcy of the government"
Jt is, Of course, possible for a public
department to take this work in hand
Anything of the kind Is theoretically
possible. The great question is wheth-
er it would be done efficiently and
economically, and this must be con-
sidered in the highest degree doubtful
when the motives springing from per-
sOnal interest would be to a large
extent withdrawn ana everything left
