DANGEROUS CHEMICALS.

The Time Has Arrived to Put Legal
Restrictions on Their Sale.
Several more or less dangerous arti-
Giles of chemical manufacture are be-
coming so largely employed for va
riety of useful purposes now that some
restrictions as to their sale, conveyance
and storage are imperative, says the
San Francisco Argonaut. Thousands Of
gallons of liquid" carbonic acid gas in
steel cylinders under high compression
may now be seen every day being CON
Teyed in carts from place to place, and
similarly other gases are stored under
pressure in tubes" as, for instance,
oxygen, hydrogen, nitrous oxide andsso
on, all Of which may expose the public
to danger. Solid bricks of metallic
sodium, again QIept under naphtha, of
course), are every day carried from
port TO port as part of a ships cargo,
and very serious accidents have occa-
sionally arisen from the intermiXture
of various chemicals on board ship by
the damaging effect of a rough passage
upon the packages. Still another chem
zeal substance of comparatively recent
discovery Is carbide of calcium, which
on simply becoming moist gives off the
exceedingly infiammable gas, acetylene,
which, with air, forms an explosive mix
ture.

Ages at Which Marriages May BE Con-
tracted in Europe.
In Austria a imam" and woman"
are supposed to be capable of conduct
ing home of their own from the age
Of IA. In Germany the man must be at
least is years Of age. In France the
man must be IS and the woman Is; in
Belgium the same. In Spain the In
tended husband must have passed his
fourteenth year and the woman her
twelfth. In Hungary, for Roman
Catholics, the man must be II years old
and the woman 12; for Protestants, the
man must be IS and the woman Is. In
Greece the man must have seen at least
IA summers, and the woman 10. In
Portugal boy of II is considered mar
riageable and a woman of 10. In Rus
STA and Saxony they are a little more
sensible, and youth must refrain from
entering into matrimony till he oan
count IS years, and the woman till she
can count -. In Switzerland the men
from the age of IL and the women from
the age of 10 are allowed to marry. In
turkey any youth and maiden who can
walk properly, and can understand the
necessary religious service, are allowed
TO be united for life.

Morgan's Mission

The annexation Of Hawaii to the
United States appears to be at
length within measurable distance.
1t is reported that the treaty relat
ing to the subject is to be pressed
forward in the Senate when its ses-
sion opens in December. Meanwhile
Senator Morgan, who has visit
ed Honolulu in the interest OF what
may be called the "filibustering"
party, is entrusted with the delicate
function Of circulating rumours
through the United States that
there is no opposition on the part
OF the Sandwich Islanders to the
next American measure. But we
have heard OF "Hobson's choice"
which describes tho present case.
The Hawaiians simply yield to force
majeure. The Europeans have not
yet realised how perfectly novel this
departure is in the history OF Amer
lean diplomacy. This is the first
occasion on which annexation OF
territory by the States outside the
American continent has taken place
by threat of force. Alaska was ac-
quired by purchase from Russia
But the step now contemplated
presents to the uninitiated remark
able Inconsistency, According to the
"Monroe doctrine" which is re-
ligiously endorsed by every loyal
American, no foreign power shall
increase its possessions in North,
Central or South America. Had the
Mexicans not succeeded in driving
the Macmillan party out OF Mexico
it is certain that the United States
army would have taken the field
against the European invader Un
der the late President Of the United
States, Mr.. Cleveland, a bellicose
message was addressed to England
demanding settlement of the
boundary question in Vepzuela.
Now, however, without the smallest
sense Of incougruity, the States pro-
pose to annex a valuable group OF
islands hundreds OF miles from their
own coast in the Pacific. To justify

The Plot of Annexation.

The San Francisco Call the other
day published a remarkably able
paper from ex Justice Myrick of the
Supreme Court of California, in
which he gave some swinging, I'M
auswerable arguments against the
annexation Of the Hawaiian Islands
The Bee has been vigorous oppo-
nent thereto ever since the scheme
was first preached, and it is glad to
see so many influential newspapers
and so many thinking men coming
over to the side of right and justice
This paper has gone deeply into the
matter on many an occasion, but its
primal and most potent reason for
its vigorous denunciation OF the an
nexation plot is one of principle
this nation should not be the re-
cipient OF stolen goods, knowing the
same to have been stolen.-Sacra-
mento Bee.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-11-02
"rhe Infamous Annexation Scheme. y

The Call is entitled to the good
opinion of all men whose sympathy
reaches away of to the little islands
where the natives are praying that
the United States Government will
permit them to remain in peaceful
possession of their land They do
not desire annexation They are not
Americans and have nothing in com
mon with us save n common hos
pita'ity. They are an innocent,
kindly and happy people when un-
disturbed by the Americans And
they realize, now that it is in all pro-
liability too late to benefit by the
realization, that their innocence and
kindliness and hospitality to the
American people have brought up
on them the misery and unhappiness
they are about to suffer through an
fight the Call and some other big
papers are making will avail naught,
/ fear. The annexationists are
strong, and they are backed by both
Republicans and Democrats. Still
the information that has been SO
cured by that paper in the present
consideration OF the subject will
make useful and interesting history.
And, after all, that is about all that
is being done, either by press or peo-
pie. X The annexation of
the islands lacks the redeeming
feature of an unselfish desire for the
welfare of an oppressed people. The
aunexationists have no excuse other
than a selfish one. The alleged ad.
vantage in naval defense to be gain
ed is mere pretense.- The whole
and sole reason for annexation is
commercial greed. x |
wish that every reader OF the Penny
Press might read Miriam Michel
sons appeal in last Thursday Call
on behalf of the Hawaiians. / wish
that this grand piece OF work had
not been delayed until now. She
has told the story so simply and yet
so graphically that it ought to be
read by all men and women who
have within their souls spark Of
sympathy for the natives OF Hawaii.
Their love of home is SO strong that
their hearts are breaking at the
thought of being driven from their
beautiful islands, as will be the ulti
mate outcome OF the American greed
that is at the bottom OF this in
famous annexation scheme.-SdntG

The Hawaiian Treaty.

In Leader on the pending an
nexation of Hawaii by the United
States, the German Foreign Office
organ, the Fremdenblatt, says:
sit will be of inestimble import
ance to the maritime position of the
States in the Pacific, and to a
Squadron leaving the naval port OF
San Francisco, to dispose OF the
best coaling station on the way to
Eastern Asia; but, at the same time,
it is certain that the State of Wash
ington and Lincoln has passed the
limits laid down for it by it's wisest
Statesmen, and entered new path
with very remote goal. Just as
the Senate of Rome, after having
United Italy under it's rule, opened
new page of Roman history by
resolving to send legions across the
sea to assist the Sicilian adversary
of Carthage, so will the seizure Of
the small islands in the Pacific mark
the beginning Of a new chapter in
the struggle for mastery in Eastern
Asia, and, indeed, in the history of
the world"
