Pan-Americnnism and MOnroeism.

Germany's attention has in turn been
called by one of her statesmen to the fact
that American goods are forcing their way
into the markets Of the world in such vol
ume as 20 menace the commercial interests
of the continent. This cry was raised a
short time ago by Count Goluchowski of
Austria. who foretod a commercial war
against this country. Germany has long
entertained the most bitter Jealousy OF
England in the matter OF manufactures
and her antagonism toward American 1000
products is not yet abatcd. though COM
Portable percentage of our surplus ma
terials still finds its way into Germany at
good prices. Germany's present fear, how
ever is that the spirit of Pan-America nism
that was fostered by the late Secretary
Blaine and still thrives through the IN
fiuence of the reciprocity arrangements
that were only lately revoked and are
about to be revived. will operate to close
the markets of South ard Central America
TO foreign products, while Offering advan-
tageous terms to American goods and sup
plies. In short, Germany is awakening to
the fact that this hemisphere realizes its
self-sufficiency in the matter of trade. Il
speaker in the reichstag yesterday de-
clared that Pan-Americanism is more mo-
rnentouS in It's relations 10 Europe IMAM
Monroeism. The former is material and
affects the pocket book. The latter is po-
ltical and bears solely, in its first results,
upon the territorial aspirations of Europe.
Between the two. which will doubtless be
sustained by the policies of this country
as long as wisdom prevails here, Europe
fears that it will fare badly. The least
break, however in the sentiment that
guards the markets and boundary lines of
the countries on this half of the globe
will be hailed by all the nations of Eu-
rope with joy. The two principles are
closely allied and must be equally main
tanned.

The OppositiOn shifting Ground.

Opposition to the annexation of the Ha-
Haian Islands was first based on the prop
oSition that the rightful authority IN the
Islands had been overthrown by con-
spiracy in which the American minister
and the commander of an American war
vessel had participated. and that this gov
eminent should net benefit by such Il
wrong. That was Mr.. Cleveland's conten-
ticn. He withdrew the first annexation
treaty. and sought to restore the deposed
queen to power. HIS failure was complete
and covered him with confusion, and since
then no serious thought seems to have been
taken by anybody OF that policy.
Attacks on the Dole government having
Ceased. the opponents of annexation then
shifted their ground and pronounced against
hosting the flag over territory far dis
t9nt from the mainland. The islands were
too far away. They could not with safety
be made part of the American system of
government. This was very promptly met
by comparison of distances between New
York and San Francisco Boston and New
Orleans. Washington city and Sitka Alaska
The fact was developed that the United
States already owns islands in her Alaskan
possessions lying further to the west than

lulu very close to these shores
The note of objection now heard is
pitched in the key of criticism of the in
hapitants of the islands. IL is insisted that
the Hawaiians are not desirable for citi-
Zeus. that We don't want them here, and
SO forth. The answer to this is that there
Is no proposition TO bring them here. They
do not desire to come. There is no reason
why they should come They. of course
will not leave the islands. They not a
turbulent people. Under the monarchy they
submitted TO great abuses. They have
benfit;ci by the Dole government, and will
continue TO benefit if the islands become
American territory But that benefit will
accrue to them where they are, and in cir
cumstances that need cause no friction
there or mere.
THIS Latest objection Of the opponents of
annexation is as poorly founded as was
either Of the others. The real question TO
be answered is. if this government rejects
annexation, what is to become of the
Islands; If We decline overtures for po-
Ei!cdl union with ourselves. will that end
our interest in the Islands? Will they be
permitted to make overturcs elsewhere?
Can we. then, with prnpriety or justice
claim any voice in discussion as to their
future? But it is q fixed determination of

The cable shows that at Madrid this no.
tice has received due attention. Senior Sa-
gasta soothes his fiery followers with the
diplomatic assurance that the President
spoke only to the galleries. He felt obliged
to throw in something OF the kind for lingo
consumption. The jingoes We're demanding
intervention at once. But in some high
Spanish quarters the notice is differently
interpreted. There 1t is construed mean
ing business. and Spain is urged to prepare
at once for the inevitable. And accom-
panying this is the boast that Spain will be
be ready, and will defend herself in that
DIV.
The question, then. of how long a trial
the Sagasta reforms are to have before
a decision ON them is to be reached by this
government becomes of the highest mo-
mcnt. Tie Stars correspondent from Ha-
vana shows that the outlook for success
is gloomy in the extreme. So far. pract-
cally nothing has been accomplished. Cen

Is working against the most tremendous
odds. He is in the attitude of the physi-

mtted 10 continue? What permanent ben
eft is TO be expected even if the physician
succeeds IN holding the patients nose and
forcing part of the draught down?
The case today stands like this: We have

it. ard will not allow that in any circum-
stances such a right will exist. If we do
intervene at any time she will resist us.

The further reply may be made that the

not suffice to cry down with the charge of
narrow thanklessness the voice of reason
that merely asserts that there is too much
laxity in the granting of pensions and in
the framing of pension laws. The evils that
form the basis of the complaints now
sounding in the ears of the people are not
a necessary part of the scheme of reward
ing the meE who fought and suffered for
tEeir country. They arise from various
causes. and the demand is for their rerres-
sion on lines that VIII in wise injure
the legitimate interests of the old soldiers
or those who are logically dependent upon
them. Senator Gall.nger's plea for more
conservative treatment of private pension
bills Will doubtless find echo in many quar-
tiers were the old soldier feeling has in
wise diminished.

4 Conspicuous Omission,

L rom inc New YORK Post.
One ot the nest noteworthy things about
the Presidents message is thing which
is not in it. The long document contains no
a!iusion whatever to the subject of pen
sions. This omission woiild attract remark
in thu case of any President. 1t becomes
The more striking when one recalls lhat Mr.
Mckinley Yves himself a soldier in the
Union army, and has always been q strong
advocate of a generous policy regarding
pensions. 1t is rendered still more inpor-
tant by the fact that in his message to
Congress at the opening Of the extra ses-
sion last March the President urged that
AMP" revenues must be supplied, not
only for tire ordinary expenses of the gov
eminent, but for the prompt payment of
liberal pcnSiors," etc. 1t is a great change
from such an attitude in March to the en-
tire ignoring of the whole pension question
n December. especially when the failure to
recommend a liberal policy now is accom-
panied by 4 protest against an increase of
the expenses of the government, and a
suggestion that these expenses Will, in my
judgment, admit Of decrease In many
branches of the government without injury
to the public service"
