THE anti -annexationists seem to lose

THE anti -anneXationists seem to lose
sight of the fact that civilization is
still on it's onward march and that ma
tional developments have by no means
reached their terminus. On the con-
trary the evolution Of the age is bring
ing about great changes. g status
of European and Asiatic conh tries is
far from stable. The progress of
events is rapidly realizing the proph
ecy made by Mr.. Seward half cen
fury ago, that the Pacific Ocean, its
shores, its islands and the coast re-
gions beyond will become the chief
theatre of events in the worlds great
hereafter. This is evident in the rap
idly increasing Importance of Japan,
the participation in China's affairs by
the leading powers of Europe. and a
number of commercial enterprises of
great significance. In the face of these
facts, that Hawaii is of great moment
no one can deny. That she will not
long remain an independent govern
ment is also a foregone conclusion.
She has already expressed her deter
mination to offer herself to England in
case the United States withdraws.
Hawaii's weight in the balance of
power among nations is patent, and
under the circumstances the United
States has but one reasonable course
to pursue, and that is to absorb the
ands into it's own domain.

ACCORDING to William E. Curtis, by
the last census of the executive de-
partments in Washington there we're
los persons over 70 years Of age en-
ployed as clerks by the government,
and itgis probable that the number has
nearly doubled since that time. There
are sixty superannuated clerks in the
treasury department alone, and most
of them are incapable of performing
any important duty. Some of them are
drawing salaries as highSas ST, 500 a
year; others ST. 200, ST. 400 and ST. 900.
There is no pension list for civil-service
employees. In the army and navy a
man is retired on half or two thirds
pay when he reaches the age of g..
Secretary Gage has been studying the
question very carefully, and has de-
cided that it is only fair to the gov
eminent that clerks who are incapaci
tated by age should receive only cor
responding amount of their salary.
Hence he has issued an order reducing
the sixty veterans who have passed
three score and ten to 5000 a year,
which is an adequate pension.

TWO Runaways.

Main street was treated to consid-

ways Monday evening, as twice horses
dashed down Main street at very alb
normal rate of speed. The horse of
Dr.. Kimball became frightened at the
breaking of a trace and ran away, but
was stopped without serious damage
by the main strength and awkwardness
of the doctor A little later the team
attached to the Apple farm milk wagon
ran away and caused considerable
damage. They ran around the park
and at the corner Of Prairie avenue
the wagon was overturned. There
was no one in the wagon and the main
injury consisted in quantity Of milk
being spilled.

COLLIDE IN THE LAKE
PETOSKEY RUNS INTO THE IOWA
OFF KENOSHA.
AN INVESTIGATION DEMANDED
Capt. Guigan, of the Petoskey, Saws He
Was Given Signal Which He Did Not
Have Time to Carry Out and That
the Iowa Crossed His Bow.

The steamer Iowa Of the Goodrich
line and the steamer Petoskey, under
charter by the Hurson Transportation
company, collided early Sunday morn
ing off Kenosha.
The Petoskey was bound for Mil
waukee and the Iowa for Chicago.
The boats were not damaged enough,
however, to prevent them resuming
their trips unassisted
The story of the collision, as told by
Capt. Guigan of the Petoskey to Man
ager Gregory Hurson, is that when off
Kenosha Capt. Shines, of the Iowa,
gave one blast of his whistle, notifying
the Petoskey that he would take the
inside course. The whistle, according
to Capt. Guigan, was sounded so sud-
denly that Capt. Shines did not give
him time to clear, and the bow of the
Petoskey struck the passenger gang
way of the Iowa. Capt Guigan as
serts that the Iowa crossed the bow of
the Petoskey and did not stop her
speed until she was struck. The en-
gines of the Petoskev were immediate.
ly reversed.
The damage sustained by the Iowa is
not known, while that of the Petoskey
is slight. The stem of the Hurson boat
was bent several feet.
Gregory Hurson said that Capt.
Guigan did not have space enough to
turn his boat when the Iowa's whistle
was sounded.
An officer of the Goodrich company
said Sunday night that hurried ex-
animation of the Iowa was made in
Chicago Sunday. but the extent of her
damage is not yet known. He said
the accident would be reported to the
local steamboat inspectors and an in
vestigation will follow. The Iowa left
Chicago Sunday morning for Milwau-
kee, and the Petoskey left Milwaukee
Sunday night for Chicago.

THE Xmas gift which would con-
tribute most to the moral, political and
material welfare of the State of Wis
consin, in our judgment, is keener,
clearer sense of the duty of citizenship
The right of suffrage granted every
male citizen of the age of Il or up
wards. qualified according to the con-
stitution of the STATE, is not only the
privilege Of representation in the gov
eminent of state affairs, but duty i'm
posed upon him which demands his
most thoughtful and conscientious at
tention. Upon his performance of this
duty, after the principles of manlinesS
and true citizenship, dependsto a great
ktent the moral tone, the political
purity and material prosperity OF Wis
consin. Ignorance as we'll as indit-
ference is the cause Of vast amount
of political corruption and misrule. 1t
provides the nourishment upon whlc b
demagoguery thrives. For this the
voter is directly responsible and Gull
pable since it might be eliminated by
his careful study Of the questions at
issue in state and municipal elections.

THERE has been a constant growth
Ina revenue ever since the Dingley
Tariff went into operation. The aver
ago receipts per day were greater in
September than in August, and each
month since, including that part Of
December which has expired, reveals a
9arger average income than in the
preceding month. This is an encour-
aging exhibit. 1t shows that the pre-
ai65ions Of adequate revenues from The
law are likely to be realized before the
fiscal year ends. An attempt will be
made by the republican leaders to
keep down expenditures, and in this
@n1eayor there is chance that they
will be successful. The old days in
which SURPRISES were a regular feature
on she treasury's monthly balance
sheets may be nearer at hand than
anybody a quarter of year ago ex-
mBeted.

determination of the Seals.

We notice in the Baltimore Am
erican a statement to the effect that,
Professor Jordan, who is probably
as familiar with seal life as anyone
except those whose business it is to
catch seals, and who has been the ex-
pert of the United States in most of
the vexatious negotiations, emphatic
ally condems the proposal to kill the
seals in case Great Britain refuses to
reason. Professor Jordan states his
case with clearness and cogency. The
policy will not accomplish it's purpose,
he says. This is about the strongest
reason that can be urged against any
policy. If it will not achieve the object
sought, no amount of other argument
in its favor should prevail. Professor
Jordan says all the seals cannot be
killed off. After all has been done,
some will be left to increase and null
tiply and again become bone of con-
tention.
The fur seal finds his food in the sea,
where it is inexhaustible, and he can
take to that element when pursued.
1t is possible that the cruelty of man
might make him change his habits
Such has happened even among fishes,
and it is not at all unusual with ducks
and game birds of all kinds. Instances
of it. both on land and in the waters,
can be cited in this state. TIE seals,
when they had fully comprehended tue
efforts for their destruction, might
remain in the south at their winter
quarters, or at some intermediate spot,
and refuse to go north at all.
But the wholesale destruction of seal
life would so tremendously reduce the
herds that the occupation of the Cana
dian pirates would be gone. The
latter do not differ essentially from
other people in the matter of consult
ing their own interests, and they WOuld
not hunt for seals after it had become
unproftab BILE indeed, after it had
ceased to pay anything at all. AS to
the restoration of the seal fisheries by
the multiplication of the seals, it would
be very slow process, and meantime
it is safe to infer that the bone of con-
tention would be removed, as an in
dustry abandoned is seldom resumed
by the same party. "lc
Professor Jordan's sentimental OBJ
jections to the proposals are strong. 1t
is scarcely necessary for the United
States to engage in wanton brutality
on the islands in order to be revenged
for the wanton brutality of the Cana
dams on the sea, and, besides, a
most serious responsibility may attach
in the extinction of one of the most in
teresting and harmless species OF
animals The government had better
adopt some other plan. G 81

THE season for " catching on bobs"
has arrived. 1t will ,probably unfold
it's usual tale of calamity. Accidents
cannot we'll be avoided when young
sters struggle and haul one another so
wildly in their attempts to secure the
coveted ride. With team going at
high speed and a half dozen small
boys after the same square inch OF
standing room it is not surprising that
one or two at least should bring up
under the bob" or that horses should
take fright and augment the danger by
a runaway.
