TIE annexation of Hawaii, il it be &C
com plished, will not be because OF any
pressure by the general public. Where
there is not indifference there IS oppoei
ton, except on the part OF few who have
interests to serve. Il is this use of the
Instruments of government to accomplish
personal ends which brings the acts of
government into disrepute. The govern
mant OF the United States is the agent
of private and corporate interests 10 con-
summating this matter which Is certain
to be the source of Trouble and disagree
abe entauglements. The native Ha-
wai,an will be q far more troublesome
element than the negro, and foreign as
| we'll as internal difficulties are sure to
arise.
When the United States meddled with
Hawaiian affairs to the extent of aiding
10 overthrowing its government, it was
an outrage. That rebellion was foment-
ed by the very parties who now perceive
that their Interests can be still further
served by annexation. When Cleveland
sought to right the wrong, hull8balo
was Iaised and the merits of the case
clouded by rhapsodlc references to the
stars and stripes and the glory of estab-
fishing republics. Professional and ram.
pageous patriotism become the ally of
spoliation and silenced every appeal to
right.
Patriotic fervor will now justify an
| other act of folly in the annexation of
Hawai-. The merits of the proposed ac-
/, ton will not be considered; the dangers
attendant upon 1t will be disregarded,
The flag will answer every argument and
| justify every proceeding.

The cOngested condition of the Mani
towoc harbor on MonGay night and Tues
day morning and the utter inability to
relieve 1t promptly, lead to recC gnition
OF the need of making this perfectly
safe harbor. There we're millions OF dol
lars atloat below Eighth street bridge ia
this city on Monday night all of which
would have been endangered had storm
from the northeast arisen, which did not
seem at all improbable at the tune.
Heavily laden and crowded as these boats
were, they were sure to sustain injury in
case OF north east storm. The Mantle
voc harbor is no longer a local concern
The great shipping of the lakes have an
interest in it and its condition is a mat
ter OF national concern.
The harbor needs an extension Of at
least 400 feet out from the breakwster
This would protect it from north east
storms and make 1t a safe resting place
for boats heavily laden. 1t may be long
time before the experience of Tuesday
last will be repeated. Bot 1t is possible
1t may occur at any time.
1t beEooves our people to keep our
harbor in perfect shape. Its interest are
greater to-day than the most sanguine
hoped for 10 years ago. It's condition is
matter OF concern tC vessel owners gen.
orally on the lakes, and the government
should do its share. With thus extension
of the north harbor pier and the neces-
sary local improvements all would be
well. Congressman Davidson is very
kindly disposed toward Manitowoc aud
would, no donbt. do all in his power to
further its interests. He should be re.
guessed 10 do SO and then bis hands
should be strengthened by local support

that Mrs. Luetgert WAS being found IL
