A Word from Senator Hoar.

Senator Hoar has replied to the
toward him and his Massachusetts,
colleagues on account of their sub
mission to duty on hides. Mr.. Hoar
is still of the opinion that the tariff on
hides was unwise, but he shows where
in it was a question between that and
tariff law and he argues that if there
should prove to be any Inconvenience
resulting from this hide duty it will be
nothing, in comparison with the bene-
fits those same parties will derive from
the law.
In support of his contention that the
precarious situation of the bill war
ranted him and his colleagues in
abandoning the opposition to duty on
hides. he says:
There We're forty-four Republicans
to forty-five Democrats and Populists.
and of that forty-four Republicans
there were several coming from states
which had gone hopelessly against us.
who were quite Indifferent to the fate
of the bill and ready to sacrifice it If
they could not have their own way.
We had one stanch supporter of the
cause of protection from an unexpect-
ed quarter-Senator McEnery of Lou
isiana. Senator Jones of Nevada ad-
hered firmly to his old protection prin-
| ciples. but it was understood that he
would not support tariff which did

PALMYRA Island.

OF course England claims that she

it understood that she is resorting TO
such petty thing as Selling a little
island in the Pacific where Islands,
according TO our anti-annexationists.
can possibly afford no advantage To the
country that gets possession of them.
But just how those same anti-annexa-
tionists who have been laughing at the
idea England could by any possibility
feel an interest in the disposal of
Hawaii, are going to explain this SELF
ure of Palmyra is not yet quite clear.
Probably they will quickly accept
England's theory that she has owned
the island for nine years. This theory
seems to have little ground to stand
upon. though that may make no differ
ence to those who wish TO assert the
idea for arguments sake.
According to that recognized author
ity, the Statemans Year Book for
1895, it does not appear that either she
or Hawaii owned the island. Only the
principal islands of the Hawaiian
group. Hawaii, Maui. Oahu, Kauai,
Molokai, Lanai, Niihau and Kahoolawe.
are accorded to that country by this
authority. But Hawaii claims in addi
ton the following uninhabited island,

myra in 1895 was too insignificant to
receive mention by name and comes
under this general assumption of juris-
diction. Nor is claim laid to Necker
island on which the Hawaiian flag
was run UP while the English were on
their way to appropriate it. 1t is pos
sible that Hawaiis claim to Palmyra
island may be a difficult one to estab-
| lish, but if the English claim is no bet
ter than that which it makes to many
| other small islands in those waters it
| will be weak indeed. 1t is noticeable
that England does not wish it under

matter of annexation was pending and
assumes that the report started from

Jack to the island for the first time,
however, and if so Hawaii's claim is a
| prior one.
