Philadelphia Record: According 10 the
jlngoes, the natives OF Hawaii are too degen-
orato TO be Invested with the right Of deter
mining whether they shall come under the
government OF the United States. Why,
then, are the jingoes so eager to drag this
ioroidding element OF population into the
union while anxious to exclude few thou

gorge OF jingoism does not rise in contem-
plating the repulsive conditions that accom-

because 1t does not represent the views OF
the majority of the people, and stating that
the ratification of the same was procured by
interruptions means" This shows clearly
that the Choctaws are not up to date. -
They cannot have studied the history Of the
Hawaiian annexation scheme. If they had
done so they would have learned that the
time has gene by in this country when we
mind little questions like the rushing
through of treaty by unscrupuous means
