MONDAY OCTOBER IL.

Gen. Blanco, Weyler's successor, has a
good reputation as a humane and lenient
commander. He was governor of the
Philippines when the rebellion broke
out, and he was removed for mach the
same reason that Campos was Withdrawn
from Cuba, that is because his prosecu-
ton of the war was not vigorous enough,
which meant probably that it was char
acterized by too much humanity. Ger
tainly he is much better man to hold
out the olive branch to the Cubans than
Weyler would be, and if negotiations fail
he cannot make war any worse than Wey-
Ter did.

Mr.. Loren A. IhUrston, ex-minister
from Hawaii to the United States, has
Issued q hand book on annexation, which
puts the arguments for that policy with
great clearness and force, and in excellent
temper. Mr. Thurston enumerates five
reasons for annexation, and celebrates
each one of these The first is that it will
prevent the establishment of an alien and
probably hostile stronghold in position
commanding the Pacific coast, and the
commerce of the North Pacific, and def
nitely and fiually secure to the United
States the strategical control Of the North
Pacific, thereby protecting its Pacific
coast and commerce from attack" His
second reason is that the conditions are
such that the United States must act now
to preserve the results of its past policy,
and to prevent the dominancy in Hawaii
of foreign people" AS third reason
he urges that sit will increase many fold
and secure to the United States the com
MERGE of the islands, The fourth
is that lit will greatly increase and Sc
cure to the United States the shipping
business of the islands. And lastly he
claims that lit will remove Hawaii from
international policies, and. tend to pro
mote peace in the Pacific by eliminating
an almost certain source of inter
national friction" To the most common
objection that all these things may be
obtained through a protectorate, without
thic 6iraotlu in.
volyed in the government of the island
Mr.. Thurston replies as follows:
| This problem confronted President
Piei ce and Secretary of State Marcy, i'll
| 1854; President Harrison and Secretary
Foster in 1893; and President Mckinley
: and Secretary Sherman in 1857. In each
casa the decision was against q protecto-
rate and in favor of annexation. The
reason is, that under protectorate, the
| United States would assume the RESPONSE
bilities incident to ownership, without
| the power Of control; while under annex
alton, it would assume no more response.
| bilities and would acquire absolute con-
/ troll. Under protectorateS Hawaii would
still remain an incubator of internations
friction. Under annexation, it would be
removed from international politics
We do not think it is quite true that the
| SoNCtHAneuU WouIu ftaSulH6 NO lHOro re-
sponsiblities under annexation than under
protectorate. Under annexation the
government must practically assume the
administration of the local affairs of the
island. 1t must decide on the kind OF
government and how that government
shall be carried on. 1t must too settle the
difficult labor problems that will then a
rise. A protectorate would simply be
q guarantee on our part that there
should be no interference by foreign
nations in the island. It's local affairs we
would not undertake to manage.
The Portland daily press., 1897-10-11

Senator Morgan's trip to the Sandwich
Islands seems to have served to strengthen
his annexation sentiment, and when he
gets back he may be counted on as more
vigorous champion to that policy than
ever. Whether a cause is much advanced
by Morgan's support may be doubted.
His .jingoism is of SO advanced type that
he has lost all influence with the conser-
vative elements of the country. AS &
ulating he is a success, but the portion OF
the community that is accustomed tc
count the cost of any movement before
enlisting, gives little weight to his rec.
concentrations.

| already secured the voting power on near
was fair prospect of his obtaining
enough more to control the annual meet
ing which takes place on Wednesday,
When the story was carefully analysed, it
appeared that Mr.. Jones's only hope of
getting control of the road lay in getting
the assistance of Gen. S. C. Lawrence-a
very forlorn hope on its face AS matter
Of fact not only does Mr.. Jones have no
chance of getting control Of the road, but
he has had no intention of making the
attempt. We are informed on the best
authority that week ago both Mr.. Jones
and Mr.. Sinclair sent their proxies to o
committee favorable to the reelection OF
| Mr.. Tuttle, of which committee Mr..
futile himself was member. Had Mt.
Jones been laying plans to GUST Mr.. Tut
tie he would hardly have placed his
proxies in the hands of this committee.
1t looks very much as if the Herald story
was reyamping, with variations enough
to give it an appearance of freshness of a
story which was circulated in this vicin-
ity some weeks ago, but which was SO
improbable on its face, as to command
little or no attention. 1t is perfectly safe
to predict that Mr.. Lucius futile will be
reelected President of the road practical
~ without opposition, and that the great
contest which the Herald's story out
lines will not materialize.

The removal of Gen. Weyler from the
Captain Generalship of Cuba is practical.
" confession on the part of the Spanish
ministry that it takes very little stock in
his claim that he has almost completely
pacified the island. If the ministry be-
lieved Weyler's assertions they would I'M
doubtedly be anxious for him to remain,
for a change Of commanders when cam
paign is close to a successful issue would
be exceedingly unwise, and would doubt
less put in jeopardy the result. WeyIer is
removed simply because the government
is convinced that The island can never be
pacified under his generalship. Whether
it can be paeified under thatSof any body
else remains to be seen. 1t would seem
to be pretty thoroughly demonstrated that
force alone cannot succeed, and that if
success is to be won it must be by concil-
iation, but after force has failed is very
unfavorable time to try Cancellation.

1t is difficult to see how the Republi.
cans of New York can hope to win in the
contest for the mayoralty by making the
contest upon party lines. New York is
nominally Democratic city by very
large margin. To be sure it was
carried by Mckinley last fall, but that
was because of the currency issue which
split the Democratic party. Many Demo-
Gratis then voted the Republican ticket be-
cause the election of Bryan meant radi-
cal change in our monetary standard.
democrats can hardly be attracted to a
Republican candidate for Mayor by the
arguments that attracted them to McKin-
ley for the reason that the basis of truth
for such arguments will be lacking. No
Democrat is likely to be scared into vot-
ing for Gen. Tracy by holding up the
danger Of free trade or free silver, tor the
very good reason that the result of the
election, whatever it may be. can have no
direct effect to bring about either one of
these policies and very little indirect. We
believe the only hope of success on the
part of the Republicans lay in the direc-
ton OF keeping national politics largely
out OF sight, and attracting voters by the
promise above all things of an admins
tration that would look first after the in
terests of the city. To make prominent
national questions and to emphasize the
Importance of Republican victory to
the II epublican party at large, as was
done by some of the speakers at the Coop
er Union meeting Saturday night, is, we
are inclined to think, very poor tactics,
unless Republicans would prefer defeat to
a victory which was not generally recog-
nized as a strictly partisan one.

which the Hon, Frank Jones was said to
be making to get control of the Boston

ing reelection of Mr. Lucius futile to

given to account for Mr.. Jones's desire to
depose Mr.. TuUtle, conspicuous among
which was personal hostility to him. 1t
