The South and Hawaii.

Annexing Hawaii is "dead easy"
since nobody but our old friend
Japan objects, but how are we to
govern the islands after we acquire
them? The Americans who now
govern Hawaii number about 5000,
out OF total population of 100000.
They insist that, if annexed, they
must be so guarded against majority
rule that their predominance shall
be unimpaired. If the natives were
allowed to vote on the basis on which
people vote in our Territories, or in
Louisiana, there would be no annex
alton, because they would outvote
the Americans ten to one. The Jap
anese, Chinese and Portuguese could
each, as class, overwhelm the Amer
lean vote eight to one. Probably the
English and Germans together could
muster enough votes to down the
American contingent, which propos-
es to continue to govern after annex
alton by some arrangement that will
virtually disfranchise the Hawaiians,
Portuguese, Chinese, japanese and
the rest.
Our constitution insists on the
right of every citizen to vote, and
any modification of it which nullifes
the right of American citizens to
vote in Hawaii on account of color,
race, &c, will be "mighty interest
ing reading" in certain of our South
ern States where the race problem
overshadows domestic politics. Lou
isiana would find very acceptable a
new Interpretation of the constitu-
ton that allows 5000 Auglo-Sax-
ons-because they have all the
wealth and intelligence of the coun-
try-to legislate for 100000. Minor
ity rule, where the minority has most
of the brains and means, is a princi.
pie of wide application, if once estab-
lished. It is remarkable that the
Republican party, which has insisted
on the right of the African majority
to vote, however incompetent, should
not consent to scheme of govern
ment under which four races-al]
more advanced than the African
would be virtually DISTINGUISHED.
What they propose to set up is an
aristocracy of race, hardly to be dis
tinguished from tyranny. It will be
bad for Hawaii and bad in the long
run for the United States.
