The American Solution.

On Dec. 1, 1882, Secretary BLAINE wrote
10 the American Minister at Honolulu that
while "the position Of the Hawaiian Isl.
ands, AZ u key to the dominion of tho
American Pacific, demands neutrality" yet
II Through any cause the maintenance Of
such a position should be found by Hawaii
impracticable, this Government would then
unhesitatingly meet the altered situation
by seeking avowedly an American solution
Of the grave issues presented"
Ten years later, such an emergency as Mr..
BLAINE had in mind arose. Hawaii over
threw the native Government that OPP
pressed her and retarded her development,
and created q new Government, which was
"to exist until terms of union with the
United States Of America have been nego.
tiated and agreed upon" The overtures
then made were postponed, but Hawaii
we'll understood the reason of their post
ponement, and has never from that moment
to this swerved in her purpose to plead
again for admission at the proper time.
That time has come, and "the Ameri-
can solution" which Mr.. BLAINE forecast
Is at hand. The arguments for the nnexa
tion of the Hawaiian Islands have been ia
miliar to this country for years, and IL we
now receive this group into the fellowship
OF our Union, no nation and no man can &C.
cuse us either of haste or OF rapacity. Ha-
waii has repeatedly offered herself as a
candidate for admission, and she has
pointed out the difficulties and dangers of
her isolated position. The sentiment Of the
American people and the teaching of our
history are in favor of accepting her, and
We have faith that Congress will duly act
In accordance with this sentiment.

Cats of the Sen.

Following In the wake of THE SUN, the
Netp York Times runs down a catboat but
In doing 40 1t displays a little too much
savagery and scares too many amateurs.
1.-The typical catboat," 1t says, sis easily
capsized, n only a smart and experienced
catboat sailor should ever undertake to sail
one in deep water" Now there is just one
" catboat " too many in that sentence, and,
as for the depth Of the water, that makes no
difference, because boats are usually sailed
In water that is quite deep enough to drown
a policeman.
But there are cats and cats, and the New
port cat, for instance, is not easily capsized.
While pilates" and Swimming dishes"
are good things to keep out of, there are
other types which are safer than cable cars.
First among them Is the keel cat. with out
side ballast, an uncapsizable craft, but ex.
pensive, and on account OF its draught
poorly suited for pleasure trips that include
several stations, or calls, to use o more
saline term. Next comes the Newport cat,
a boat of reasonable depth and immense
beam. 1t is a very powerful craft. easily
handled. gentle as a kitten, and in a
heavy sea as lively as a gull. Finally we

outside ballast. With the modern rig,
which is rather low, these boats are fit for
the hardest weather. There are several
types of them, each one of which is an i'm
provement upon the old timer.
1t is not absolutely necessary to put out
side ballast on a boat to make her per-
fectly safe but it Is necessary to carry the
ballast low. This means, of course, a
change In the model Of most Of our catboats.
For safety they must be made to draw
more water. The old time British cutters
had no lead In their keels; but they could
scrap with a squall just as we'll as the
modern machines, IL not better. Our
own pilot boats carry their ballast inside,
and they can get up easily after a knock
down that almost puts their crosstrees In
the water.
1t would not be wise to abolish the CEN
treboard or to build boats of outlandish
draught but some amateurs labor under
the delusion which, unfortunately, has too
often proved fatal, that the board prevents
a boat from capsiZing. On the contrary, it's
tendency, to some extent at least, Is to trip
the boat. For the gusty Hudson, little boats
eighteen or twenty feet over all should
draw at least three feet of water.
