A Diplomatic Incident

The dcky- birds in the royal palms
are t,gittering and chirpihg over a
little secret piece OF diplomatic in
terventon that is as amusing as it
ia discreditable to some of the per-
sons concerned.
1t is said that in the not far dis
tant islands of Sugarandriceski
there is quadrupedal government
whose limbs do not march in har-
mony, and that the services of a dis
tinguished logos-physico have been
called in to assist in the amputation
of recalcitrant member of the cor
pas politicus.
In order to correctly diagnose
the disease it was necessary to call
into consultation a personal friend
of the suspected member to obtain
from him secret information in re-
gard to the suspected fidelity of
the unhealthy member.
The gentleman called in by the
stranger physician, one, by the way,
who has bad habit Of poking his
nose into places where he is not
welcome, did not tumble to the ex-
pionage racket worth cent, and in
answer to cross-examinations, as to
how the gentle man suspected ex-
pended his loose cash, suggested
that il the information was so desir-
able it had better be obtained from
the parties interested, In word

Annexation-N No!

With nations that have their
depe ndencies that they may dis
claim or ignore when the exigences
Of occasion demand, the acquisition
Of the islands might be valuable and
desirable. Such powers would find
in the REIMBURSEMENT of their claims
no sacrifice of Government policy or
principle, but the United States
Government is not established that
way.
Once a part OF our nation the
Hawaiian Islands would OF necessity
be permanently so. We are not
socially or politically constituted to
pay hostages by the surrender OF
our lands and people. With this
view of the situation it would seem
but common-sense policy to look to
the cost and difficulty of protecting
and maintaining our authority over
the territory before assuming to take
it as protege. Moreover, admitting
that the islands could be amalgam-
ated or assimilated into healthful
citizenship, there yet remains
serious question correlative with
such admissions
The extent of territory is such
that the money power that favors
Chinese immigration could colonize
the. islands in the interest of their
scheme and of consequence make
them sort OF ante-chamber and
preparatory grounds for the in
PRODUCTION of as many coolies as
they might DESIRE Crescent City

IT'S an era OF achievement. We

There are problems which we've
handled up to date with scant
success;
Ii the new state does no more with
them, it scarcely can do less.
IT'S said distant view oft makes
relationships more clear
Than a microscopic study through
glass that's held too near.
Perhaps these myst'ries of "hard
times" like clouds will clear
away,
When the man from Honolulu takes
the case in hand some day.
New hope, at all events, will hang on

When the member from Hawaii

Now, he has played with politics for

And all that he has ever done has
made the people pray;
That he may go to glory before the

When he may sit in Congress and

be an awful fool,
And kiss the feet of moneyed men,

Develops.
McKinley's Message and the Prob
able Action of Congress Will
Decide.
Plat to Murder MOraes More Elk
tensive Than Even Officials
Believed.

MADRID, Nov. 18.-The government
will not dissolve parliament nor fix a
date for the elections and the meeting
of the new cortes until Premier Sa-
gasta can definitely, in December, form
an opinion on the attitude of the Amer
lean congress toward Spain, and until
President McKinley's message and the
contemplated note on the question of
filibustering expeditions enable him to
see the drift of McKinley's policy. The
government and even leaders of the op-
position deem it inadvisable to risk
being without parliament in case
complications arise in its relations with
the United States. Should the attitude
of the American congress and president
be reassuring, Premier Sagasta will
dissolve the cortes in December and
appoint the elections for February, thus
bringing the meeting of the new cortes
early in March. 1t is stated that the
Spanish government will provide the
state department at Washington with
the text of the colonial reforms and full
details of their working, with all the
data required to give President McKin-
ley an insight into the new policy be-
fore drafting his message. The Spanish
ministers and Minister Woodford seem
to get on very we'll together.

Toe car load of California liquors seized
in Charleston two weeks ago by dispen-

States Circuit Court in that city last Mon
day. Vandercook d Co the California
shippers, fled a bill for injunction and
relief against Liquor Commissioner
Vance and every member of the constab-
ulary in any way connected with the
seizure. In the bill damages to the ex-
tent Of IS 900 arc ASKED for, and The Court
is prayed to grant a permanent i%njunc-
ton re training the State from confisca-
ting other shipments that are to be made
to South Carolina. Playground for this is
that the Company has the right under the
Constitution of the United States to bring
in articles Of commerce, so recognized.
The Company further states that it will
Import and store wines and liquors and
sell to individuals, having that right n
der the original package law. Should
