jority in favor. There is nothing
surprising in this review. To make
the average Irishman believe that
Great Britain can be honest in the
arbitration of any matter would be
to accomplish a seven days wonder.
The simple fact that Great Britain
is mentioned is enough to make
the Irishman mad. While the
French, Spanish and Germans are
not lovers of Great Britain, they
are not so blinded by prejudice
that they cannot see some possible
good coming out of general arbi-
tration.

are a nuisance in ali wars, be-

sight of a little blood.
The people who control the Ad-
vertiser are thoroughly commit
ted to annexation and a better

they have put the Advertiser on

hind it. In its work it needs no
assistance, especially from Roy

To the serious anneXatiOnists

Perkins and Sherman and others
who are disaffected is the policy
of the Republican party in the
matter of control. Notwithstand-
ing the declarations of political
parties it is well known that in
fiuences are often brought to
bear which defeat the original
purpose of the party managers.
When this paper sees antagon-

not stand like dumb fools and
seek to furnish a blind for facts.

ADVERTISER AND ANNEXATION.

Some of the readers of the Ad-
vertiser ask only for the truth,
so far as it can be obtained, re-
garding annexation and recipro-
city matters. And some of it's
readers, including many sincere
fanneXationists, really do not
want the cold facts" but wish
to be warmed up" made to feel
good" and above all things, like
to be stuffed with annexation
tatfy.
The Advertiser modities its
opinions with the change of ev-
.ents. What was apparently true,
or probable yesterday, may be
quite untrue or probable today.
Six months ago the Advertiser
considered Senator Perkins an
unfiinching friend of annexation.
Today, for causes which are not
openly discussed, he is opposed to
it. He apparently refuses to fol
low the declaration of his party
regarding control of these Isl
ands. OF course, the taffy annex
ationists would like the Adver-
tiser to say that the Senator was
drunk when he declared opposi-
ton. but that when sober. he is a
sincere anneXatiOnist, and will
humbly apologize to President
Dole.
Just after the Presidential cleo
ton, the Advertiser believed that
the Republican declaration of
control" would soon be made eff
fective. Now it sees that the new
Secretary of State is a man who
has bitterly denounced the Reel
.prOcity Treaty, with which an
nexation is interviewer. Of
course, the tatfy annexationists
wish this paper to say: "Glor-

THE JAPANESE CASE.

The decision of the Supreme
Court, made yesterday, in the
japanese immigration matter,
may be far-reaching in its conse-
quences. Time and further re
Election only will show its infu-
ence on our relations with Japan.
The policy of excluding the
further immigration of the Jap
anese is now settled here, and we
shall not discuss it at present.
The decision Of the Court is.
first, that these immigrants are
aliens, because they have not
landed here, and therefore that
the right to consult and employ
counsel cannot be permitted to
them, under the treaty which
allows resident japanese the pri-
vilege or right to appeal to the
courts. Second, that the proceed
ings regarding their right to land
are wholly executive, and not ju-
dicial under the law, and there
fore the Court will not review
the decision of an executive of
ticer. In reaching this conclusion
the Court follows the opinion of
the Supreme Court of the United
States. As the proper executive
officer has decided that these i'm
migrants are not qualified to
land, his decision is final. Third.
it is held that the refusal of per
mission to land is an executive
act, and therefore, no formal no
tice to the immigrants of the de-
cision is necessary. They cannot
be discharged, because they have
not been notified of the decision,
and have not appealed. The de
cision of the Supreme Court is
final, and we hope it is a wise
one. From our own standpoint
it seems to be almost necessary
in order to preserve our distinct
nationality.

spread rapidly over his head, hands and

became one complete sore. We had to

We give in another column a
speech made by Senator Perkins
of California in defense of the
Hawaiian Reciprocity Treaty.
Notwithstanding the Senator
from California is reported as
being at the present time an enemy
of reciprocity, the statements
which he made before the Senate
in. 1894 hold good today and we
know of no good reason why Mr..
Perkins should Change his
views" The same line of argu-
ment taken up at the present time
would show still larger sums of
money flowing into American
pocketbooks through the kindly
medium of Hawaiian reciprocity.
