Tuesdays Globe Democrat contains
little map of the Hawaiian islands,
with distances to the principal ocean
ports of the Pacific laid down in right
lines diverging from Honolulu. The
intent is to illustrate how centrally
Honolulu is situated as a coaling sta
ton, and the consequent advantage
that it would be to the United States
to take it upon its own invitation. The
chart shows well. San Francisco is
distant 2,100 miles; Victoria 1850; Yo-
kohoma $40; Sidney 1900; Hong Kong
1893. There is no other island that
could be so utilized within 1000 miles
of the Hawaiian group. Uncle Sam
is making his calculations on occupy
ing it.

Boies of Iowa is too good financier
to be satisfied with the 16 to 1 foolish
ness and too much of Dem-Pop to be
satisfied with the middle of the road
crowd and too much of a free silverite
and free trader to chip in with the BIZ
metallists. Looking for place on which
to camp he has come out for the free
coinage of silver at the bullion value.
What will the silver 5 be worth then?
Can it be more stable than the price
of the bullion itself? Ask Boies?

British Vice Consul Burroughs, at
Kansas City is in a peck of trouble,
and the measure is running over. He
spread himself to make his end Of the
Jubilee bowling success. He asked
the Catholic clergy to pray for the
Queen, and he did not ask the Protest
ant Episcopal clergy to do likewise The
Catholics refused and he got mad and
cursed them and the celtic blood got
hot and made it warm for Bur-
roughs. The Protestant clergy were
sultry because they were left out of
the invitation and they refused to pray
and raked Burroughs from stem to
stern. Then there are those who
know no better and curse him for not
flying the stars and stripes along side
of his British flag, which as vice con-
sui it is proper for him to do or not as
he chooses. There is one consolation
for Burroughs, he will be dead before
the next jubilee comes around.

1t is reported that the late little run
that the Dauntless took, in showing
the cruiser Marble Head clean pair
Of heels, has disabled her machinery
and that she is on Indian Key. An
American war vessel has gone down
to try and capture her and her outfit,
which is still intact. This win be
hard lines for the filibuster If true, but
that craft is foxy and this may be an
other tale to deceive the elect of the
government and pave the way for an
other successful run.

Close calculation made by authorities
not unfriendly to Spain render it GER
tain that she is losing her troops in
Cuba too fast to replace them. Her

1t would be interesting to note two
things; first how much gold the queens
jubilee has taken out of the United
States? Second, how much in the way
of aids to American institutions those
who spend these millions across the
big water have given during the
past decade? The wealthy American
spends more abroad in one season
than he spends at home in three. 1t
is not right.

The Democratic press of the free sill
yer persuasion reminds one of the
rooters on the grand stand at the ball
park when an unpopular player adj
vances to the bat. The king bee in

ure there as in trying to engineer a
baseball nine to victory with San An

Because one Democrat is on the COM

There is one thing that can be said
about that jubilee that will not bear
contradiction, and that is the quality
of the jubilee anthems. Better poetry
is thrown into the waste basket Of an
American daily newspaper every day

poor the stuff is.

1t is not the criticism that is passed
upon the acts of administration before

corning itself.

stout looking Irish recruit, who on
being asked by Jones for his orders
replied as fast as he could speak,
My orders are, sir, if Il fire break

Jones, in the coolest manner pos

some mistake. But, no-Pat stuck
to it "that if a fire broke out he was
to take his musket and shoot the
nearest policeman. Jones, with the
remark, Il pity the policeman, =

he was to fire off his musket and
alarm the nearest policeman.
