exaggerated negro type. Our genial
friend Puck will please take notice
that there is no resemblance be-
tween the negro and the Hawaiians.
The latter are a fine looking race,
it Is conceded, and show greater in
teIligence than the negro. If they
become a part of the American PEG
pie, as we believe they soon will be,
they may not be able to contribute
much scientific knowledge for pub
lie use, but they will contribute the
art of decorating guests at the dim
ner table with flowers, and that will
be more of a contribution to human
happiness than many large commp-
mites in America have ever made.
The first mau at the White House,
IN honor of annexation, will be the
social event of the year. As for the
real estate spectators, they will
ind the field for operations here so
limited that they will soon drift
pack to the continent.

M'KINLEY AND BOUNTIES.

Mr.. Mckinley has been, since
1882, a firm believer in free
coffee, free tea, and free sugar.
He rates these articles as necessi-
ties rather than luxuIies. This is
the reason why he placed sugar on
the free list, in the tariff law, and
put on a bounty on American
sugar. Protection in this indirect
form, makes cheap sugar. During
the recent political campaign, Mr..
Mckinley again declared his be-
lief in the bounty system.
The financial situation will pro
baby prevent him from urging
the bounty policy, at present, but
he may, as soon as he sees the way
clear to it, press it upon Congress.
Every farmers wife, every work
ingman's wife is a working politi-
clan for free sugar, and the indus
trial classes have the votes.
1t is highly probable that, with
out annexation, no bounties would
ever be granted to the Hawaiian
planters. No rural Congressman
would dare to vote directly out of
the treasury, several millions to
the people of an alien country.
They refused to do this under the
Mckinley bill.
1t was suggested, several years
ago, in Washington, that if the
bounty system became permanent,
it might be extended to sugar
raised III Hawaii, by American
labor, and with American capital.
and that ii would be a short cut
to the Americanizing of the isl
lands. The amount to be paid out
