at his discretion, such removal debarring
the guilty one from ever being q candl-
date for the Office from which he was
oused.
Another section provides for the &C
quirement OF public utilities either by
purchase or construction. This was also
severely criticized, and the fact was
brought out that under the present State
law these may be appraised and purchased
at the appraised value, while under the
new charter it will be necessary either to
construct rival enterprises or purchase
those already existing at whatever price
the present owners may ask.
AT the meeting of the San Francisco
Labor Council also the new charter was
generally dissecIed. The labor unions OF
this city are represented in the committee
and have from time TO time made at
Temps to have clauses favoring tie army
OF workingmen inserted in the charter,
but the re presentation is small, and when
ever such resolutions have been intro
duced they have either been summarily
voted down or adopted in such manner
as 70 show that they will be of little SER
vice to the working people. In the indi-
vidual un ons also opinions have from
time to time been expressed that seem TO
indicate severe snowstorm when the
new charter is finally voted upon.

BOSTON. Nov. 12.-The Hawaiian an.
nexation question was discussed at the
dinner OF the Massachusetts Reform Club
al Young's tonight. There were abopt

son presided. The speakers were Capta in

ward University and Gorham D. Gilman
Consul General of Hawaii, in favor of if
The opposition carried the day.
Captain Palmer, who spr ke first. SAID
1--WE do not need Pearl Hat Dor. They
have ceded Pearl Harbor to us. but i
IS o. no use. Now, | would like my naval
friends to explain what they call strategic
importance l can't see how, if we were
at war with Spain, the Azores would be
an advantage to rs. Why should it be AN
advantage for US to have, 1000 miles from
San Francisco, place where we could
send fleet in case of war?
The Hawaiian Islands should be neu.
traI ground. They are neutral ground at
this moment by the guarantee OF four
great nations. In 1S43 England and
assume no lordship over these Islands
There is TO danger OF England or France
usurping our over in these islands. By
our treaty OF reciprocity the islands
agreed TO allow no other power to assume
a protectorate. Now, if we propose to as.
su me control in Hawaii we should invite
all the great powers. We want them not
to teach land-getting, but to teach them
the principles of the Christian religion"
Moor field Storey said: The question
of Hawai- annexation is, perhaps, a.. i'm
portant question as the country has
been called to pass upon for a long time.
We are aske / TO annex these islands, 2lOO
miles away. Why should we be asked to
annex these islands, willie We do not con-
sider other valuable possessions quite a g
valuable and contiguous to our own? Be-
cause the Inhabitants of those islands are
weak?"
The speaker said that the present Gov.
ernment in Hawaii is in power Simply
through revolutionary act, which de-
pended for success on the support offerei
by American blyonets.
The San Francisco call., 1897-11-13

Hawaiian Islands, touching on their
geography and popula' ion. He said
briefly:
The annexation of large territory is
a subject which is we'll worth our cOnsid-
Grafton and no matter how we think it is
proper that we should meet and express
our views. 1t is question of great inter
est and moment to this country. Now for
the question, Is i: wise Tor the United
States 10 alb orb this great country The
matter might not have come up this year
but because of the great interest shown in
The reciprocity treaty.
This treaty OF reciprocity has proved
of great value to the islands. Since 1879
we have re- bated $40 900, 600 on sugar and
other articles exported from the islands.
We must consider these matters fairly.
We are frequently CHARGED with being
allied with some big trusts if we do not
at once fall IN line and declare for such a
movement as annexation. Now what 40
we each gain? Hawaii would gain n
stable government 1t would be criminal
for us TO allow any other nation 10 exer-
else a protectorate over them, and II We
do annex them we must protect
them. As strategic point 1t Is
said that it would make q coal
ing station. But there is not coal
there and it would have to come from
somewhere else. You may not perhaps
be aware that the shortest distance from
San Francisco to China IS by sailing in
great circle to a point VIII ch would be
only 300 miles south of The Unaaska coal
mines, which are practically ineXhaust1ble
and not near Hawaii. If Honolulu be the
key OF the Pacific then the lock must be
lost. So that as a coaling station Hawaii
cannot be of any value to this country.
Americans developed the islands and
their trade. We must view the question
in this spirit.
"OAe argument against annexation is
mat we II ust en- courage the beet industry
in our own State. There are, | am in
formed, 3 coo, 900 acres in TINS State that
are available tor the culture of beets The
advantage OF this industry 10 this State
cannot be overestimated. At Watson
Vllle $4,000 per day is paid 10 farmers many
months In the year and a Salinas Sl7C0
per day and we ought to sustain fifty such
factories in this State. We now pay out
$95 600, 600 year for sugar and this should
all be made IN this country
81 cannot pass on a caee in which l an
q juror I'LL l hear all the testimony. [
know that this Getting is in favor of an.
nexation. l can feel il. l believe that
this State favors annexation, and l be-
lieve that n public servant should truly
represent the desires of his cons ituents
or else resign
Sheldon l. Kellogg, who followed, ad-
vsnced the following reasons IN favor OF
annexation:
1-Strategic value.
2-Its importance in the future trade of
the Pacific.
3-Because it is practically an American
colony.

DISLIKE TIE CHARTER,
It Is Disseoted by the Labor
Council and the Iroquois
Club.
Many Bad Points Are Found and
the Hope Expressed That 1t Will
Never Be Adopted.

AS the work of the charter convention
is gradually nearing an end it is daily
attracting more and more attention, and
the doings of the body are coming up for
much adverse criticism, both in political
and labor circles. The desire for q new
charter seems almost universal, but the
one being con structed by the convention
seems to be looked upon as little worse
than the present one.
At meeting of the Iroquois Club held
last evening almost the entire time was
given up to the discussion of this uues-
ton, speaker after speaker taking the
floor only 10 find some new reason WHY
the charte- should never be adopted. One
of the CHIEF objections was the power

cording to its provisions, will be ty

national policy.
He elaborated his arguments with many
figures and historical reference.
II. +. Highton was the next speaker,
and he started out at once by declaring
that he was opposed 10 annexation for
very many clear reasons. He said:
This is not question based on poetic
! basis or a com m ercial basis or q literary
basis, hut greater than all these it is a
question for this continental republic to
consider from the great stand point OF
manhood and humanity. The acquisi-
tlnn OF these islands under the present
treaty would be the exercise OF a pow er
contrary to the fundamental law OF tins
land and would be impo!itic OF far
more Importance is it TO develop the
State in which we live and the republic
which We nave esta Dlisned.
when we advance toward Hawaii we
are advancing toward an Asiatlc civiliza-
ton and carrying our American system
1000 miles nearer to the japanese and Chi
nese. We are inviting the petition of
the hordes of Asia upon our institutions.
Our country is founded upon the proposi-
ton that the race to which we belong
should not take in any race with which
we could not aSsimilate. There are 5000
Americans III the islands out of 100, 600
people.
1--WE cannot afford to annex Hawaii
against lie consent Of its people, and we
must not permit ourselves 10 be governed
in this view by men who are interested,
and we nave as yet no ether facts upon
which to base our conclusion.
Nov. as to commerce, it seems 10 me,
and ! think 1t is capable Of proof, that we
have received all The benefit ana can still
receive all the benefit OF the island trade,
under commercial treaties and without
political union.
LAS to strategy, | see nothing in it. We
ought first o defend our own great east
and west coast lines, and Congress should
pay more attention than it has done, but
how on earth Hawaii could strengthen ii
l cannot see. We have kept every other
nation out OF 1t up TO this time, and there
IS not nation on eartn, not even except
ing Japan, that will attempt 10 annex
those islands against the protests 0! the
United States. We have no constitutional
authority to acquire territory that cannot
Oe transformed INTO American States and
b. placed on an equality with any other
Stale III tue Union"
Horace Davis made an argument in
favor of annexation and read many ex-
tracts from naval and military authorities
10 show Hawaii is necessary to the protec-
tion of this country's interests in the
Pacific.

pointed postmaster was kept busy last
ventng receiving the congratulations OF
his many friends on securing the appoint.
ineut. His selection seems to meet with
general approval OF the part of every
one and especially the business men, and
his business ability is an assurance that
the Office will b. conducted on the same
o I'd principles that has: characterized
che administration OF Mr.. Grierson.
Although the term of office of Post
master Grierson expires tomorrow it il
quite probable that the new postmaster
viii not take hold until the first of
october as he will have to secure his
bonds and forward them to Washington
Tor approval and his commission will
then be sent on. The regular quarterly
report OF the business OF the Office will al.
so be made at that time and it will be a
great deal more convenient all around to
make the change then.
There will probably be no change in
the force at the Office az the clerks and
mali carriers are under civil service req.
ulations.
Mr.. Grierson is undecided as to bis
plans for the future although he has sew
erai offers under consideration.
