All Hail, Hawaii!

The treaty for the annexation Of Hawaii
has been signed, and undoubtedly will be
ratified by the Senate. The introduction OF
the Hawaiian Islands into our American
political system Is, therefore, assured.
Thus will be accomplished scheme OF
annexation which was made a conspicuous
feature of democratic policy long ago, and
would already have been carried out if i,
had not been for the obstruction of the I'M
democratic Cleveland administration. Mr.
Cleveland, with a perversity and defiance
of democratic tradition which exceeded
even the bounds Of impudence. broke
through the rule of continuity in our diplo.
matte policy, and withdrew from the Senate
a treaty for the annexation of Hawai-
framed by his predecessor. He withdrew
it in order to bring about the overthrow OIL
the Hawaiian republic and to restore to hel
baroarous throne a monstrous queen!
1t was an episode in our history which
would have been wholly Infamous If it hac
not also been ludicrous.
Truer American!sm now dominates th<
White House. and the day approaches wher
with joyful and proud acclaim We shall
welcome Hawaii as an outpost of Ameri
can power and civilization in the Pacific.
All hail, Hawaii! All honor to President
Mckinley.

Mr. Chambe-lain's Tariff Scheme.

There is good deal of business mixed
with the pleasure of the Jubilee gathering
in London. And naturally. The coiohlai
leaders are all assembled, and the material
condition of the empire is a subject OF the
first relevancy. 1t is entirely in order that
they should go. as it were, into committee
of the whole the state of the Union.
Mr. Chamberlain. who is at the head of
the colonial department of the general gov
eminent, has a scheme for encouraging
trade among the colonies and the home
country somewhat similar to that in opera
ton among the states of this Union. and
applied by the states collectively against
trade with foreign countries. His design
is to weld the colonies and the home coun-
try together by free trade among them
selves and stiff tariff bond as against
other competing countries, and this is now
under discussion in the English metrop-
oils.
The first reports from the discussion are
not encouraging to the Colonial Secretary $
scheme. Its defects are very frankly
pointed out both by the leading news
papers and by the colonial statesmen. Pre-
mier Laurier of Canada, in particular, 1t
seems, leans to the opposite view.
The Chamberlain scheme, regularly APP
Piled, would bring about reversal of the
English policy of free trade. The Zolver-
Elm it would establish would have its cor
ner stone in protection. and this Mr.. Laur-
Ter believes would be disadvantageous to
English interests. He believes in free trade
for Eng land, and such freedom of trade
for the colonies will enable them to
seek natural instead of artificial markets.
Canadas natural markets, as he plainly
sees are the American markets, and he
wants a free hand in dealing with the sub
iect.
This discussion is not new, and it may
not produce any new reasoning, but the
subject always commands attention. 1t
was fully and very effectively covered by
Mr. Blaine and Mr.. Gladstone some eight
years ago, and the friends Of protection
were greatly pleased with the presentation
| of the question by their champion. MIR.
| Blaine would not contest the point that
| free trade had benefited England or that
| it would be wise for England to adhere to
that policy, but he drew in broad and con-
vincing lines the difference between a very
small territory situated as England was
and the wide empire of the United States,
! with It's almost limitless resources only in
part as yet developed. Protection, he in
| sisted. was as distinctly the proper policy
| for the one country as free trade was for
| the other. What was Englands meat
| would prove to be Americas poison.
| Mr.. Chamberlain's scheme does not
| reckon sufficiently with the fact that the
| English colonies do not occupy the geo.
| graphical relations to one another that the
| states of this Union do, and that that fact
| in itself would defeat its successful appli-
| cation.

rh. .Quid Pro QUO, Again.

The London Morning Pos. has now added
it's voice to that of the Globe in asserting
that England will OF course demand a
"ouid pro quo from the United States for
the privilege Of annexing Hawaii What
can this mysterious morsel be? England
must have her avaricious eyes fixed upon
some choice possession OF the United
States, else there would not be these per-
sistent references to unnamed con-
sideration. 1t may be Alaska or perhaps
che or more of the sealing islands. But It
is all mere speculation. for there Is moth
irg in the laws of nations or in the dplo-
matte records TO Justify even a suggestion
that England can equitably demand a
Iecompense from the United States.

Hawnii Must Join Us.

Thus far sugar has been the great staple
of export from Hawaii. but coffee is gam
ing ground rapidly, and bids fair to eclipse
sugar as the great agricultural product of
those islands. The volcanic soil and no;
sun favor The profitable cultivation of the
coffee bean. The quality is said to be ex-
cellent. But whatever those islands are
best adapted for they should form an in
tegraI part of the United States. The las,
four years have strengthened the annexa-
ton sentiments of the country.

To BE Hailed With Acclama ton.

From the New York Herald
The signing of the Hawaiian annexation
treaty yesterday is an event to be hailed
with reclamation by every progressive
American.
Its ratification by the Senate will crown
a step destined to become a memorable
landmark in our national history and OH
ward march of prosperity
For century that march has been
rapidly and steadily westward-from the
Atlantic to the Alleghanies, from the Allie
ghanies to the Mississippi, from the Mis-
sissippi to the Pacific. 1t is destined not to
stop there.
Beyond the Pacific lies the great Orient,
with its untold commercial possibilities. in
wiling the intercourse and enterprise of the
United States Japan, recently admitted to
the family of advanced nations and aWak-
ened to the boon of western civilization.
has entered upon new era of industrial
and commercial activity. Its trade rela-
lions offer promising field for cultivation,
and Japan is but the gateway for American
enterprise of that vast eastern world which
is to be brought into commercial inter-
course with the United States.
For this undeveloped commerce the
Pacific offers the great natural highway.
and 1t is plain that at no distant day this
will be a commercial route between the
United States and the far east. rivalinS
If not eclipsing, in prosperity that of the
Atlantic between the old world and the
new.
In the grand westward ocean highway OF
the future the Sandwich Islands will OF
course, play an important part being a
halfway station whose advantage is OBJ
vious and incalculable. 1t goes without
saying that 1t should be in the possession
and under the control of the United States
whose commercial star is taking it's way
westward.
! The annexation of the islands is, there
| fore. vital essential to the future com.
| nercial progress and prosperity of this
| country. Aside from this great trade adj
| vantage in time of peace, the American
| flag flying over them would secure to the
| United States the most comma nding Pa
! cific naval station in time Of war. In add
| ton to all this. annexation would secure
| fertile country, especially rich in POSSIBLE
| ties of sugar production.
The Senate may well ratify without hest
fancy or delay the treaty signed yesterday
| Nature and commercial progress have mad,
Hawaii an Inevitable acquisition of thi,

itants of the Islands certain citizenship
conditions will be imposed. Those VINO
have previously been Japanese subjects
will be confronted with the alternative of
accepting the American franchise or re-
tanning that of Japan. They can not en-
joy both. If this alternative is not pleas
ing they can return to Japan. Japan can
in the meantime rely upon the honor of
this government in its treatment of all
persons In the islands, whether native Ha-
waiians. persons of mixed blood. Asiatics
or Americans. In fact Japan is no more
concerned in the treaty now about to be
consummated than is England. or Portugal,
or China, save in the mere numbers Of her
subjects affected.
Much is said and more Is intimated by
the japanese diplomats mere In complaint
of the fact that they were not consulted
In the negotiation and preparation of the
annexation treaty. This Is all beside the
mark, for it is incorceivable that the
United States government should take ali
nations into its confidence whenever 1t
enters upon such a delicate enterprise as
the acquisition of new territory 1t Is an
arrogant assumption on the part of Japan
that she is entitled 70 voice in the mat
ter save with Hawaii over the interpreta-
ton of the Immigration treaty and with
this country after annexation has been
accomplished regarding claims arising
from that treaty or other obligations that
may be handed over to the United States
by Hawaii In the act OF union.
At all events the submission of the treaty
to the Senate is pointed hint from the
American administration to Japan that the
time has come when all foreign hands
must be kept off the island republic, and
any further bully-ragg of the govern
ment at Honolulu will be regarded as an
act of hostility to this country.
