PRESIDENT McKINIEY earnestly ad
vocates in his message t. the Senate,
the annexation of the Hawaiian Is
lands.
GOVERNOR HASTINGS has signed the
bill that requires ali unna! uralized
employed foreigners in the State to
pay tax of three cents a day. The
money thus received ross into the
Treasures of the various counties of
the STATE Half Of the fund goes for
the general expenses Of the counties.
The other half gees t1 the School
fund on the basis OF tha nunber of
schools.
DfBi has dropped silver and sav%
socialism IS to be the raIt battle cfJ
in ,jJlitics. That means that gov
ernueaJ shall own al pubic works,
railroads, te!eeTap5s, &c. Dabs don't
see thai woEld be Il long step 20 the
complete ownership or Dictatorship
over tie people, body, soul aud
breeches. a state Of affairs, which, if
he is properly understood, he does
not wish to see brought about.
OSE explosion Of powder or dyna
mite in the proper place is sufficient
to wreck the best built structure that
has taken years Of toll and great tx
rsnse to erect. So with the business
affairs Of this nation one iow tariff
law enacted by the Cleveland admin
islration has wrecked the manpfac
turing business to such a degree that
time viii be required 10 get affairs to
where they were before the election
of Mr.. Cleveland to TIE Presidential
chair.
Z. V. DEBs proposes that colony
of people, who believe as he believes,
shall colonize in Washington State,
and there conduct the colony on tie
plan of government that they pro
fess to believe in. That is the right
course to pursue. Be practical, or
ganize system Of government in &C
cordance with their views, and if il
bs good system and can be man
aged along lines that they advocate,
model for the whole nation.
THE queerest Inconsistency in The
speeches apd writings of the defend
ers of the Cleveland Wilson tariff Law
is that their favorable advocacy does
rot correspond with the uufsyorab!e
results. They advocate The Cleva
land-Wilson tariff LAM IS just tbs
thing for the good Of The country
when the facts are, the law has result
ed i'll running the govelrrusat httl
million dollars behind its expenses
If it were not for the serious fnan'
cial condition in which the Democ
ratio National legislation has put tia
country it would be fit only to laugh
at. Bat it is a serious rG Gstser to dig
turb the finances OF q coultSy to sucl
a degree that great financial distres:
is brought about.
DEBs proposes to start a coAfper
ative system of Government "'n ash
ington State. That's just @ SneF. M y

something for themselves besides tall
along the liEe of their theoriea 1
they can do things among themseive,
better thar Is being done in society
ut large, it will not be long in rec
commencing itself to The AmeTicaJ
people. But his threat against II
reference does ret sound we'll. II h,
nnd ether agitators Will just 60 Il
work and attend TO their own bust
ness, and prove to the world what {
good ti!iGg they have, they will moi
be interfered With, but great will bt
the rush to their ranks.
THE annexation of Hawaii is a great
question. II is the first step in III,
direction of territorial acquisition be
yor9 the limits of the North Ameri
can continent, and viewed from tha
standpoint it is the beginning Of {
new foreign policy The neginpina
of policy Of absorption of cut ;nc
Islands, that eventually viii resu't IN
the absorption of England. Scotland
and ireland. The corsmnation Of tht
absorption C the three last named

things than that bave taken place in

and the manufacturing establish

and India viii be more Eaglish THAI
Eagland. Such are the National
probabilities that oue rnCv read among
