Whereas: The municipal affairs of
the city are in such condition as to ex-
cite the apprehension of its citizens
and indicate to them that a change in
the economic administration of the city
government is absolutely necessary to
the prosperity of the people; and
Whereas: We do not believe that
such reforms as are required can or

office those who hold their personal in
terests above those of the public or
by electing to take their place those
who will subordinate the citys inter-

Whereas: We believe that by the
election of a mayor and board of al
derman who, actuated by patriotic mo-
tives only, will inaugurate more eco
nnInical and less personal and less po-
litical administration of the city gov
eminent, much good may be accom-

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
THE POLICY OF ANNEXATION FOR
AMERICA.


The fact is that American institutions
are quite unsuited to the government
of dependencies. Those institutions
are pervaded all through by the prin-
ciples Of equality and the habits of
self-government They do not adapt
| themselves to countries where the
population consists of elements utterly
unequal and dissimilar, as is the case
In Hawaii, nor to cases where the
| American element ought not to be ex-
pected to fOregO it's right to self-gov-
ernment, but where, nevertheless, the
overwhelming majority of the inhabi-
tants, whether negroes or Asiatics,
ought not to be trusted to govern even
themselves, much less their white
neighbors.
Britain has had painful experience OF
these difficulties in her own colonies
yet in her mOnarchical system and her
colonial service she possesses machin-
cry much more flexible and more
adaptable to these conditions than the
far more consistently democratic sys-
tenn Of Che United States has ever pos
soased or seems capable Of construct
ing In other words, the problems
which the United States would have to
solve in Cuba on in Hawaii, were
either of them to be annexed would
be for the United States perfectly new
and extremely perplexing problems.
He must be a sanguine man who
think that a democratic government
Intended to be worked by educated
men of the best European stock, whose
ancestors have enjoyed freedom and
been accustomed to self-government
for centuries, can, without danger to
It's new subjects and injury to itself,
either set up among an inferior and
dissimilar population its own demo-
cratic institutions, or so far depart
from all its own traditions as to attempt
to govern that population and its own
citizens abroad by despotic methods.
The United States has already a
great and splendid mission in building
up between the oceans free, happy
and prosperous nation of 200,OO0,0OO of
people. And one of The noblest parts
of her mission in the world has been
to show to the older people and states
an example of abstention from the
quarrels, wars and cOnquests that make
up so large and so lamentable a part of
the annals of Europe. Her remote
position and her immense power have
delivered her from that burden or mill
itary and naval armaments which
presses with crushing weight upon the
peoples of Europe. 1t would be for her
a descent from what may be called
the pedestal of wise and pacific de-
tachment on which she now stands
were she to yield to that earth hunger
which has been raging among the
European States, and to initiate the
aggressive methods which some of
them have pursued. The policy OF
creating great armaments and of an
nexing territories beyond the sea would
| be, if a stranger may venture to say
| so, an un-American policy and a COM
| plete departure from the maXims-
| approved by long eXperience-of the
| ilustrious founders Of the Republic

FUN FOR MONDAY NIGHT

Almost entirely rearranged and
greatly improved, the Brothers Byrne
will bring Eight Bells" to the Grand
Opera House next Monday evening.
This popular production has been on
the road several years and its success
has been remarkable, and now in its
bright new clothes, it is destined to an
other long life. There are a number of
new specialties. The acrobatic work
has not been displaced, for there is an
abundance Of it, and in very attract
i've and entertaining form. The aero
batic troupe is complete in every par
ticular and it's work, much of which is
entirely new, is remarkable. The seen
cry is entirely new, and exceedingly
UNIQUE.
