Nothing to Stand On.

The Washington Star, which has
prominently and intelligently cham
pioned the annexation of Hawaii, dis
poses most completely of the latest
protest by Japan to the contamination
Of that proposed annexation.
In protesting against a surrender of
independence by the Hawaiian govern
ment Japan" says the Star, uses
arguments which completely ignore the
existence of that independence. Ha-
waii is a treaty power recognized as
such by the whole world, possessing all
the rights which pertain to an inde-
pendent government. Japan, while
holding fast TO alleged rights under her
treaty with the Hawaiian government.
protests to the United States against
annexation in terms and on grounds
which in effect deny any independent
powers in Hawaii and obliterate that
government entirely from the calcula-
tion. The japanese theory seems to be
that the Hawaiian government exists
and must continue to exist, whether
it wishes to live or not, in order to
give irreVocable treaty rights TO Japau.
For instance, in the latest communi-
cation on the subject, Japan protests
that in the event of annexation the an
plication of United States customs
laws to Hawaii would check the further
development of Japanese trade But
Hawaii without waiting for annexa- =
tion could If she so desired adopt the
customs laws of the United States and
apply them to japanese trade and all
other trade without overstepping her
acknowledged rights as an Independent
power. Japan's protest against a
change in the Hawaiian customs laws
through annexation involves the claim
that these laws are not to be changed
at all without the consent of Japan.
That nation intends to alter her own
customs laws in 1899 and to increase
largely duties upon imports. She
would view as piece OF impudence
the suggestion of same other power
that she could not alter these laws, be-
s.nse Of a resulting interference with

CHAPTER ONE OF M'KlNLEY.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The period betW cen the inauguration of
President Mckinley and his departure
from Washington for a vacation after the
first five months of hard work. constitutes
chapter one of his administrations his
tory. This is a distinct period of trial and
achievement, and 1t is worth while to see
what the record is Between the time
when Major Mckinley took hold and the
time wnen he lets go temporarily for rest,
these things, among others, have nap
.pened:
/. The tariff question has been removed
from politics. The. pledge of the party
which nominated Mckinley that it would
give the country squarely protective
tariff as a settlement of the question, and
thus give the country rest, has been hon
est,y redeemed.
II. The administration during these five
months has organized for four years. The
president has met and sustained the tre-
mendous strain consequent upon the legit-
innate competition for office. He has
made most of the principal appointments
in a manner generally satisfactory to
citizens of all parties; and, what is to be
noted especially about this, he has pre-
served harmonious relations with the
members of his party in both houses of
congress, and has made, perhaps, as few
enemies outside as any president ever
III. The administration has definitely
committed itself to the American policy
of Hawaiian annexation, and is proceed
ing vigorously and in good faith to re-
move that question $50 from politics.
". Mr. Mckinley has succeeded in win
ming for his administration and for him
self the respect and good will of vast
majority of his fellow citizens His per-
sonality attracts instead of repelling; and
Il is his good fOl tune have created n
the very start, friendly and favoring con-
ditions of public sentiment. hard to de-
fine precisely but likely to be of immense
value all through his term.
Is there anything on the other side of
the account? Yes, there are some things
of minor Importance, which it is neces-
sary to mention in any impartial exhibit:
|. He has shown some lack Of delcacy
| in the appointment of near relatives of
his own to office, and in the repayment of
purely personal obligations at the cost of
the governments service.
II. To some extent he has manifested q
| disposition to follow the example of his
predecessor in the misuse of public prop
| erty for private convenience or economy.
! Fortunately, this has not gone far yet,
| and perhaps it will go no further
III. He has groped and wabbled on tine
question Of currency reform, so called.
| From an initial error of judgment and a
| hasty, ill-Cons:dCred uttcranCe on the SUB
jcct, he has proceeded with uncertain
steps to a futile and fruitless demonstra-
tion which has counted more against his
reputation, probably. than any other
| act of his term up to date.
| We wish a pleasureable season of men-
tai rest and physical recuperation to the
| Hon. William Mckinley, jr. on the
whole, he has nobly earned his August
| vacation.

that powers trade. What would be
sauce for Japan is sauce for Hawaii.
Japan further protests against the
extension of the naturalization and
navigation laws of the United States
10 Hawaii through annexation, equal
ly unmindful of the fact that the shape
those laws shall take Is today q matter
exclusively i'm the discretion of the
Hawaiian government, and that inter-
ference by Japan in such domestic
legislation Of Hawaii would be mcddle-
some, impertncnt and unwarrantable.
THE only reasonable suggestion
made by Japan in her protest is to the
effect that Hawaii, alleged to he liable
to her in damages for personal injury,
should not be permitted to go out of
existence i'm a fashion to work an
abatement of Japan's cause of action
in the court of international arbitration.
If Hawaii IS wrong in her construc-
tion of the treaty and laws involved
in the immigration controversy and has
unjustifiably inflicted pecuniary dam
age upon Japan, she is not to be per-
mitted to escape from indemnifying the
injured party by hiding under the cloak
Of Uncle Sam. But this petty dispute
will doubtless be arbitrated and out
of the way before the senate votes on
Hawaiian annexation at the next ses-
sion. And when this liability, what
ever it may be, something or nothing
according to the view of the arbitrator,
q
the last vestge of reasonable founda-
tion for Japan's interference with an
neXation will be removed"
The trouble with Japan is that she is
new in the business.

dale, August Z, 1866, and attended, in
his boyhood, the public schools in Bath
and Boothbay. While in the latter place
he entered the employ of the Eastern
Steamboat Company under Captain
Low. 1t was in the spring of 1886 that
he came to Augusta to enter the en-
ploy of the late Z. C. Allen in the pub
fishing business. His natural aptitude
and talent for this line of work caused
his rapid promotion to positions of
trust in the house, where he remained

With a keen perception of the humor-

his associates; yet at the same time

word resembling unkindness or malice.

business career were carried into what
