And now for another "hurrah"
meeting OF the gallant boys of the
N. G. H., assisted by Sharpshooters
and Citizens Gnard. Mr.. Towse,
the brainy ex editor of the Star, is
not TO be suppressed. de was an N.
G.. lieutenant as we'll as an editor,
and he is now using his military in-
huence to he heard in the drill shed
by soldiers ordered to be in attend
ance, on his views in regard TO an
nexation. Poor soldiers, poor Towse!
OF course the boys will go there,
and OF course the first battalion
lined at one side and the second bat
talon lined on the other will shout
themselves hoarse when Towse ap-
pears and, la Napoleon, yells
"Soiers, we musht have annexashun
or so hellup me God, we goes to
the dogsl" Whether the applause
or the band, which is to be in at
tendance, or the drum corps, which
has promised to make noise, through
their united efforts, can "hellup" the
cause OF annexation along, Mr..
Towse has not vet told us. The
proposition is, we understand, to
have the soldiers pass resolutions
aud have them forwarded to the
National Guards OF every State in
the Great Republic. Coming from
the N. g. II. under the auspices Of
Towse, such resolutions are expect
ed to have great weight in the States,
and tending to further the cause OF
annexation. How amusing it is to
see our easy y-going soldiers pulled
by the noses by a clique of the
Towse caliber and covering them
selves with ridicule at home and
abroad

There is another feature of the
reciprocity treaty which local an
nexationists forget to mention, i e.
the fact that the United States un-
der that treaty has the right to
occupy Pearl Harbor to the exclu-
sion OF all other nations, which right
would be lost to that country the
moment it takes the initiative to-
wards abrogation. The latter right

A number OF skilled kahunas have
decided to open n sanitarium where
"lomi-lomi" will be the principal
feature, and will be exercised by ex-
pert Hawaiian girls. The promoters
claim having the same rights as the

to use it. A Lomi-Lomi institution
would be an additional encourage
ment for Mr.. Thurston's tourists.

gives America all the advantages
that could possibly be gained by
annexation without any Of ite re-
sponsibilities. So long as the treaty
continues the United States is to all
practical purposes 10 possession OF
these Islands and is bound to de-
fend them against invasion OF other
States to maintain that position. BY
continuing to occupy under the
provisions OF the reciprocity treaty
technically speaking the United
States does not stultiiy her position
on the Monroe doctrine.
If, as it has been foolishly init
mated, in order to coerce opponents
to annexation into line, will be the
case, the "best government these
islands ever had' should give notice
OF its desire to abrogste the treaty,
the United States would still hold
Pearl Harbor without annexation
which is all Uncle Sam has need for
of these islands, and like the dog
that dropped the bone to grasp the
shadow we would not have even
soup left us.

A Report Of Apprehension.

The Washington correspondent of the
Mail and Express of New York appears
to have an unduly developed bump of
apprehensivencss or else is intensely
sensitive to any criticism of the civil
service law or appreciative of what
serves to make newspaper reports
more than ordinarily readable
Nevertheless what he says has
more or less of interest He
writes that the administration is
anxious to know the exact status of the
civil service law as interpreted by the
highest court. 1t would not be sur
prsing to learn that the administration
is DESTROYS of such an Interpretation, j
good thing TO have on general prin-
ciples, but to suppose that it is anxious
for such decision seems to be putting
it little too strongly, especially as
this correspondent bases that anxiety
on a fear that Congress is likely to de-
feat the law.
There is now question before local
Louisville, superintendent of railway
mail service, who seeks to enjoin the
from office. If this can be carried to
the supreme court and the admnistra-
ton can thus obtain knowledge of
the exact legal status of the law il
will, in the opinion of this correspond
ent, be of invaluable assistance when,
as he assumes, the defeat or extensive
alteration of the law will be attempted
in Congress by its enemies. This cor
respondent sees there a formidable OPP
position to civil service reform for he
declares that Gen. Grosvenor Will be
able to marshal all the forces of Ohio,
Illinois, Indiana and Southern Repub-
licans, together with Democrats on his
side
There really does not seem to be oc-
casion for the friends of civil service
reform to get excited over this predic-
ton, but they will do well to see thai
the law, if possible is amended SO as
not to permit such Juggling as it re-
ceived at the hands of the last admin
istration; and when the subject Of
amending comes up that it is taken Up
and carried through nv tho friends
rather than the enemies of the reform.

The Honorable Marcus A. Hanna is
not afraid to say: The Senate is the
greatest institution in the world; there
is nothing like it. The Senate is a
dignified body of dignified men of great
ability. Occasionally, perhaps, a light
weight gets in, but he soon sinks to his
proper level. The entire body can be
no more judged by such an individual
than the entire newspaper profession
can be judged by single knave or
weakling who may be i'm the business.
Great measures come before the sena-
tors for settlement, and | have yet to
have pointed out to me a time when
the Senate did not determine wisely.
The Senate is the greatest and best
legislative body in the world. Passion
plays no part in its operations. Wis
dom prevails. But / have scarcely been
n senator long enough to be entitled to
a place as a champion of that body. /
speak, however. as a man, and not as a
senator. of what l have seen" But
when the interviewer asked him how
he liked being senator he replied
that he would answer that later.
