way. His lecture is not the result Of

Victoria Lodge, Daughters Of Rebekah,
held pleasing entertainment and social
Tuesday evening in Odd Fellows Hall,
Central street, Central Falls. The pro
gram for the entertainment was
carefully selected, and proved to be inter-
esting throughout. The readings by Mr..
Baker marked him as an accomplished elo-
cutionist, and one who has attained the
front rank among the readers OF the pres
ent day. The saber exercises by the two
little tots was surprising, and made an ex-
cellent ending to the program. Miss
Borden was in fine voice and rendered the
different selections in a pleasing manner.
Following was the complete program:
Vocal solo, "Homeward, Miss Lizzie

:
States Government grabs poor little
Hawaii its character will he gone; it
will become n mere anneXer and con-
queror, like the rest OF us. The
United States, in future, will have
to rub shoulders with piratical
Monarchies and filibustering Re.
publics, which must be distastetul
to every right thinking American.
Besides, annexation goes ill with
the Monroe doctrine; indeed, is
quite incompatible with it. The
basis of the Monroe doctrine is,
shortly, that on the American Con-
tinent, north and south, the United
States 10 the paramount Power, and
nothing is to be done within that
sphere without the consent OF the
American Government. But this
doctrine rests upon the corollary, il
implicitly, proposition that this sort
OF suzerainty is to be confined to the
American Continent, and that the
American Eagle is not going to
spread its wings over the whole
world. The moment the United
States leaves the shores OF its own
continent, and aspires to be mari.
time Power, like Great Britain, with
colonial possessions, the Monroe
doctrine becomes a meaningless alb
surdiiy. The other consequences OF
annexing Hawaii are equally grave.
A group OF islands in the Pacific
would have to be protected by ships,
and should anything like formidable
disturbances arise among the mixed
population it would be necessary to
send troops to Honolulu. Nothing
is more likely, we may say in pass
ing, than that there should be trou-
BILE with the Japanese and the
Portuguese labourers in the island.
Both of these races can be very
troublesome customers, and both
are likely to dislike American
methods of government to which
they ara not accustomed. Nothing
would be easier than for a clever ad-
venturer to get up conspiracy to
restore the Queen and overthrow
the American power. The Govern
ment OF the United States would
then find itself in a serious diff.
Guilty; for it has neither ships nor
men for foreign expeditions. We
are not sure either that the Amer
leans are right in their conviction
that they will be allowed to annex the
Hawaiian Islands without involving
themselves in a complication with
other Powers. The thing is in plaiu
violation Of international law, and
we know no reason why this lawless
defiance Of public right should be-
permitted to the United States.
