TIE HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION
TREATY.

It is probable that the president will
send the treaty for the annexation of
the Hawaiian islands 10 the United
States to the senate today That the
senate win approve it there is scarcely
doubt. It Will receive the support of
all the Republican senators and of
some of the Democrats. What the
terms Of the treaty are Will only be
known after the instrument itself is
made public
There viii be one very anomalous
feature about the annexation or these
islands, and that is this: By their an
nexation there will he incorporated into
the population of the United States
some tens Of thousands of PEOPLE
against whose entrance into this coun-
try congress has been legisIating, off
and on, for d quarter Of century past
What will be the legal status of these
people when the islands are annexed?
And what viii be the legal status of
those Hawaiians who have .ome to
Utah and have been refused natural
ization, the laws not permitting it? The
treaty of annexation may provide for
all these things, and presumably does.
When this country takes Hawaii it
viii have to take its obligations of all
kinds. Just now it has a rather inter-
esting DISPUTE with Japan over the
question of japanese emigration TO the
islands. This country will inherit that
dispute, though it viii scarcely become
serious
Whenever the islands come under
the control of this government the con-
struction Of a cable between them and
this country viii become an absolute
necessity. This work will have to be
done by the government as existing
commercial business would not justify
its construction. The annexation of the
islands will give rise to the fear, and
fully justify it, on the part of foreign
governments that this country has en-
tered upon policy of colonial expan-
sion. which means that we shall incur
the enmity and jealousy of all colony
expanding nations. When the Ha-
waiian islands become American terri
tory the country may expect that the
same sentiment and forces which COM

States. Dale and his associates are to

MIR. BYNUM TALKS.

Asked what effect has the postpone
ment of the appearance of prosperity
after three months of the new admins
south and west he had visited, Mr.. w.
D. Bynum. chairman of the National"
Democratic party. said:
well, the silver men are stronger,
but don't think they have been solid
fled. Populism is disintegrating and
Democracy is to be the gamer. No
administration, no matter what its pol
icies, tariff, Cuba or what not. can
bring prosperity until we have a sound
currency. Our finances are all awry
and won't be strengthened until the
foundations are laid upon rational prin-
ciples Free silver wouldn't help the
producers, but we have got to show
the Democrats of the free silver per-
suasion that we have something better
to relieve their distress.
LAS soon as we have a meeting of
our committee here we shall get TO
work in a systematic manner to en-
tighten the embittered Democrats, and
Republicans. too, Of the south and
west. and try to show how foolish it
is to look for prosperity when we won't
clear away the debris to begin Alright.
OF course, when the next national
campaign opens our headquarters in
the field will be in the central west"
It is much of an admission for Mr.
Bynum to make. that the silver men
are stronger, though he does not
think they are solidified. He still holds
that the currency question is the
most important of all, as it is, and he
will find the silver men agreeing with
him that there will be no prosperity
until we have a sound currency. AS
to what is a sound currency they will
differ from him most radically.
He says free silver would not help
the producers, and that he and those
who believe as he does will have to
show the Democrats of free silver
persuasion (who are all the genuine
Democrats) that they have something
better to relieve their distress. If Mr.
Bynum and those who believe as he
does can show the Democrats of the
free silver persuasion" that they have
something better than free silver to
relieve the distress of the country and
restore its business to its normal con-
dition, they will be very glad to accept |
it. They are open to conviction, but |
Mr. Bynum will hardly be able to con-
vince them.
The really noteworthy thing about |
this interview is the spirit of concilia- |
ton it breathes. There is an absence
of that supercilious air and spirit of /
that are so characteristic |

DEBS AND LUCY PARSONS.

We do not believe that Eugene V.
Debs will bring 100000 men to Utah. or
10000 men, or any very considerable
number, and if he should there would
be no necessity for alarm over their ad-
vent If they should come and are
honest, Woodworking men, their com
ing would be a matter of congratula
ton.
Debs yesterday addressed a large
audience in Chicago on his proposed
scheme. The warning he gave was
that the scheme he outlined to those
present would involve hard work and
courage of the highest order. All that
was wholesome and very proper. But
there was one thing about that meet
ing which deserves severe condemna-
ton. and that was the presence on the
platform of Mrs. Lucy Parsons. This
Mrs Parsons is none other than the
anarchist negress who has encouraged
by all the means in her power every
diabolical plot that the anarchists of
have ever Matched or contem-
plated. She has been to the police of
that city a continual source of annoy
ance and has caused them no end of
trouble. The woman has force of char
acter and seems TO exercise a sway over
assemblies of the followers of the red
flag that is rather remarkable. Her
power comes. no doubt, from the vio-
ence of her language and the vindict-
Iyeness of her sentiments. Ind this

TILLMAN's LATEST.

Senator Tillman, he of pitchfork
fame, has given notice of an amend
ment he will offer to the tariff bill
providing for head tax of 500 on all
immigrants TO the United States. The
amendment also makes it a mis-
demeanor punishable by fine and i'm
prisonment for any person to enter the
United States for the purpose of en-
gaging in trade or manual labor with
out intending to become a citizen.
These provisions are modified by a
provision to the effect that they shall
only remain in effect until silver shall
be admitted to our minis for coinage
at the ratio of 16 20 l, on the same con-
ditions with gold.
All things being possible, it is possible
to give notice CT a more absurd and
foolish amendment than this, but one
cannot imagine it. Preposterous as is
Tillman's proposal to make il a mis-
demeanor. punishable by fine and i'm
prisonment, for any person to enter
the United States for the purpose of
engaging in trade or manual labor
without intending to become a citizen.
no less preposterous bill was passed
by the Pennsylvania legislature i'm
posing a tax of two cents a day on all
foreigners in that state. And Pennsyl-
vania is usually considered to be a
state where intelligence dominates
public policy.
To be consistent the senator should
offer an amendment making it a mis-
demeanor, punishable by fine and i'm
prisonment, for any foreigner except
diplomatic representatives, to come 10
the United States for any purpose
whatsoever. Already the people can
not find employment and they are be-
ginning to feel crowded Then the
great and glorious doctrine has gone
forth that America is for the Ameri-
cans" and this being so, why on earth
should foreigners be admitted at all?
Tiilman processes to be a friend of
silver but as such why does he link !
that cause with this midsummer mad /
scheme? Had he sought to bring
ridicule upon the silver cause that it :
might be damaged to the utmost he +
could not have devised a better plan +
to effect that purpose than this same |
OF course the amendment
has no chance of acceptance by the I
senate, much less by the house, but
the very offering of it works mischief.
The silver cause needs to be saved
