Hawaiian Annexation.

The Washington correspondents
seem to be pretty we'll agreed that
it will be the policy of the present
Administration to annex the Ha-
waiian islands. There may be in
accuracies in the statements they
send out regarding the attitude OF
President Mckinley in the pre-
mises, but there is no doubt that
they correctly represent the gen
eral impression prevalent at the
national capital, ard It might be
added throughout the country.
There is only one class of OPT
Mon at variance with this view
and that is the one which Edward
Dicey and other English review
writer's are pleased to call "the
better American opinion" This
better opinion, they say, is ex.
tremely hostile to annexation, and
seems to be founded on the idea
that it would be extremely unwise
for the United States to extend. its
boundaries or to concern itself
about an external policy. They
the English writer's quote with
much applause Washington's ad.
vice to his countrymen, to avoid
entanglfng alliances, but they al
ways forget that the "Father of
His Country" when he used the
much quoted language, was speak.
ing to a weak people, whose first
concern should be their own safe.
ty, and for whom it would be
criminal folly to mix up in the
affairs of countries as remote from
them at that time as Patagonia is
from as today.
1t is rather reflection on the
sincerity of these English writer's
who tell US that the better Ameri-
can opinion is opposed to annexa-
ton to find them eulogizing Eng
land as a missionary of civiliza-
ton ana defending every British
encroachment on the territory OF
savage or civilized peoples on the
ground that it is the destiny of the
! Briton to carry the torch of pro.
gress throughout the world. There
may be some difference of opin-
ion respecting the benefits con-
ferred by the British upon
peoples whose lands they have
occupied, but if there is these
eulogists never mention the fact.
Why, then, should they be so con
cerned about our annexing ten
denciesp DO they fear that we
could not properly bear the torch
of progress, or is it because they
do not like the flame of our torch ?
Until they give US some informa-
ton on this point we must regard
them as highly inconsistent in
characterizing rs 1.-THE better
American opinion" a brand Of
opinion exactly the opposite Of
the one entertained by themselves.

Corhett by A. Livingston.
Il am pleased to meet you, Mr.. Corbett," "
said the governor, making a critical survey
of Corbett's towering figure and broad
shoulders.
And l am pleased to meet you replied
Corbett You proved by signing that glove
contest measure and giving the people what
they wanted that there was no hypocrisy
about YOU. 1t needed some governor wit!>
TIE courage of his convictions to break tho
ice in matters OF this kind. 1t is to tt
hoped your example will be followed and
that there will be less hypocrisy about
things of this kind in the future
Harry Corbett and others accompanied
the governor from Carson, and the cham
pion reid handshaking levee. Outside
the car there was a crowd yelling for him
to come out and show himself and in re-
sponse to vociferous demands Jim put in
an appearance on the platform. OF course
he had to make a speech. He said: Il am
glad to see you and ] hope to see you all
again on the 18th of March. / am To meet
Mr.. FitZsimmons, and 1 think l will beat
him, although of course. you can't always
tell about that thing. l must say that
never felt better in my life i feel l have
plenty of good friends in Nevada
AS the train rolled out there was grca:
