Hawaii VIII Como In.

1t ia rather amusing to learn that the
arrival of Miss CIEGHoRN at Honolulu has
been followed by some earnest discussions
among the royalists as to whether this
young lady or her aunt, Mrs. DoMINIs,
shall be the recognized claimant of the
Hawaiian throne. All such anxiety can be
spared, for monarchy is dead in the islands,
and we regard 1t rs equally certain that
within a few months they will be gath
cred into the American Union.
Recent counts of the Senate indicate a
clear two-thirds vote for annexation; but
even If the treaty which Hawaii has
already ratified bya unanimous vote should
lack the required two-thirds at Washing
ton, the same end could be reached by an
act of Congress, which would only call for
q majority vote in each house.
Everything now favors the admission of
Hawaii. We are at peace with other ma
tions. and even her immigration dispute
with Japan has been put In train of ami
cable settlement by n limit of the damages
in dispute to $500, 600, at utmost. Once
in the Union, Hawaii's old treaties will
lapse, 30 that there can be no new troubles
arising out of them.
Hawaii should be admitted promptly.
The project has been under discussion for
nearly five years. Its few opponents will, of
course, have an opportunity to present
their views against 1t fully, yet, since an
nexation is inevitable, it would seem wiser
to expend most of the time available for
this subject in the careful discussion of the
many new provisions that must be made
for the government of Hawaii as a part of
the United States. She may not prove to
be a Christmas gift to the nation, but she
will unquestionably celebrate with us the
next Fourth of July.

The Winters Bicycle Races.

If GAVIN DALZIEL, the Scotchman who
Is said to have built the first bicycle, had
been in Madison Square Garden last Thurs
day night, he would certainly have been
proud of his invention. On hat night the
great and increasing popularity of the
wheel and its wonderful possibilities for
speed were demonstrated as seldom before;
and a larger or more enthusiastic crowd
than that which filled and surrounded the
Garden has not been seen for years.
The performances that took place were
the first on a long list of indoor racing
attractions projected for the coming
winter by the American Cycle Racing Asso-
citation. Under the auspices of that organ
iZation it is proposed to have several short
distance races on Dec. 4, n siX-day race be-
ginning on Dec. q, and semi-monthly indoor
racing events thereafter during the winter.
Racing men of prominence on both sides
of the Atlantic will take part in the per-
%formances, and it Is expected that the
champions in long and short distance rae
ing, paced and unpaced, will give some re.
markable exhibitions of skill.
1t would have been difficult to arrange
for a competition that would afford greater
pleasure tn the cyclists of New York than
that which took place on Thanksgiving
night. 1t was indeed a happy opening of
the season when road and outdoor track
races are impracticable. The Welsh flyer,
JAMES MICHAEL, known as "the 100
pound midget" rode a paced twenty-five
mile race with FRANK STARBUCK, a Penn
%sylvanian. Although STARBUcK Is a pow
erful and speedy rider, his muscles were
either not sufficiently flexible or not suf,
f~ciently enduring to win for him a place
with MICHAEL. After the second mile the
| Welshman led continuously and Won the

unanimous vote. rejected it. The Chero-
KEGS also took strongly adverse action,
while with the Seminoles, we think, no
progress has been made.
But now the proposal Of the Creek Coun.
Gil seems to revive the chances either of
bringing the other three tribes up to the
advance line Of the Choctaws and Chicka-
saws or OF getting a better system of uni
form government for all. It seems to us
that the five tribes are taking great risks
in withstanding the manifest desire OF Con-
gress and the tendencies of the times. The
Government should certainly keep faith
with them yet the growing impatlence at
the backwardness Of the Indian Territory is
shown In such measures as the one empow-
ering the Dawes Commission to make up
citizenship rolls and the one of June z last
substituting United States for tribal courts,
and providing for a veto power OF the Presi-
dent upon the acts of tribal councils.
Such measures of restriction and compul-
sion will probably multiply so long as the
indian Territory continues to be badly gov
erned under the tribal systems. For 1t must
be remembered that there are more whites
than Indians in the Territory. Some are
intrudcrs, some have gone there by permits
sion Of the Indians, but the practical result
is a large existing population without q de-
sirable legal status.
The wisest plan for the tribes concerned
is to accept the inevitable at q time when
they can still form a State Of the Union to
their own satisfaction. Should their pro-
posed convention do this. or arrange for a
proper Territorial government, created
with due respect for the rights of all, Con-
gress would probably aid in the task.

race In so minutes 90 1-5 seconds, finish.
Ing over three miles ahead.
Since the exciting performances OF MI
oHAEL on the American tracks this year
and last, there has been no doubt as to his
superior grit, agility, and endurance as a
racer. 1t will DO remembered that In No
vember, 1896. he covered ten miles, under
circumstances not entirely favorable, in IS
minutes SO 10 seconds, thereby clipping
several seconds from the previous record
for that distance.
1t is to be hoped that the winters races
will reveal other Michaels. There are
lots of fast, hardy. and ambitious riders | IN
the United States who should be heard
from between now and next April. Let
them show their skill and mettle. There
isn't a whcelman in New York who would
not be proud to take Off his hat to the

We believe that to the Hon. JAMES X.
JONES of Arkansas credit Is due for the
discovery that Hawaii is too little to be
worth a~nneXing.
1.-THE Hawaiian Islands" says JONES, edo
not comprise sufficient area to make a
State; and their maintenance as a Terri
tory would violate the intent of the
Constitution"
There are three States in the Union now
which are smaller than Hawaii, namely,
Connecticut, Delaware, and Rhode Island.
The area of the Hawaiian islands nearly
equals that Of these three States combined.
1t almost equals that of New Hampshire
or of Vermont.
But Mr.. JoNEs's argument about size is
nonsense. He might as well say that Glib,
raltar or Malta is too small to be worth
anything to England.
As to Statehood, that question Is not up
for consideration. 1t is n question for by,
and-by. The islands are capable of sup.
porting n prosperous, thoroughly American
community of at least a million.
Even now Hawaii Is considerably larger
than the Hon. JAMES X. JONES.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2~6.-Commodore Dewey,
President Of tho board which conducted the

tary Long says that the vessel under all cir.
oumstances behaved well, being very heavy
and rolling and pitching but o few degrees.
Her high freeboard forward adds greatly noo
only to the comfort Of her men, but to her sea-
going efficiency and the power of fighting her
guns under all circumstances. Altogether, her
seagoing qualities appear to be excellent b
board was particularly impressed by tho ap-
pearance Of the vessel in all departments, her
fine condition and the efficiency Of her crew re-
decting great credit upon her commander and
other officers, and a~ffording q conspicuous proof
of tho care bestowed upon the vessel. The guns
Of the main and secondary batteries were fired TO
the satisfaction of the board. This was done
without injury to the gun mounts or TO the
structure OF the vessel. except In the, case OK
one of the forward 12-inch guns, whero tnQ
dash pot Of the right-hand gun was carried
walton. In several cases the electric hiring
failed to work in the large guns
The ship Is decidedly under. ofhcered, ofncero
being badly needed to superintend the fighting
nary duty OF the vessel. The complement.
which is very small for a vessel Of the lowa'e
class, is now the maximum, and tho want OF
mon is badly felt. The ports arc found without
Of hostile projectiles, and it is recommended
that this fault DO remedied. The quarters Of
the petty officers are much overheated. and the
ventilation of the engineer machine shop should
be improved. Tho platform for the range-inder
upon the upper deck is not needed. .
The report of the board which conducted the
trial of the torpedo boat shows that the httl1

A certain Governor OF Rhode Island. who lived In
Newport and was u member OF the Congregational
Church. married a woman who was n Baptist. with.
out any understanding as TO the arrangement OF re-
ligious matters. The first Sunday morning after tho
marriage the pair started out at churchtime to-
gether. They walked side by side as far as the corner
OF Church and Spring streets. where their accustomed
ways to church diverEed. and there they stopped.
Ee stood with a little doggsd leaning toward his
church, she with the same leaning toward hers.
"Well. WIFE," said the Governor, which way shall
VIC gop" She made no answer, nor did she mako any
sign OF going his way. The Governor looked up at
the beautiful spire and CHEEKY door OF Trinity Church.

who receive the greatest number OF votes on a coupon
printed In that paper. These coupons. Of course. cost
one cent each. Nothing is said about when the thing
is to be decided. The highest candidate In the list rs
printed on Tuesday Is credited with 2ll 1874 votes.
That means that he and his friends have already spent
So l8.24 to get him there. and they must keep It up
Other leading candidates have already spent sums
as follows; 02.627. 9l,7os.8I. 3l.oO1. II, 81 .3O2. 3e,
and Sl.2is.i7. while twenty'nine others have paid
out sums ranging from Sl03.60 to S023.O1. There
are doubtless other hundreds or thousands whose
names arc not printed who hayo spent under 500
each for their candidates.
II Il possible for a man TO go from New York TO
Klondike at a cost well inside OF $500. As only two
persons in the above gamble can win. all the rest will

times the cost OF the trip.
