THE segregation of the Oregon Short
Lire from the Union Pacific is a good
thing for the far west, because it is to
the interests of the interior mountain
country to have local rather than
trunk lines 10 handle its traffic. Trunk
lines carry business to the east and
thus interfere with the development of
local industries. What the far west
wants is something to open up local
market and permit it to be supplied
from local mills and factories" says
the Denver Republican. That is all
very true theoretically, but when the
segregated line is differed with en-
ployees Of the trunk line. time alone
can tell whether the praises of the
segregation should be sung.

THE HAWAIIAN QUESTION.

Those in control of the Hawaiian
republic, the Seeding republic as a
Honolulu paper calls it, are deter
mined that it shall become an integral
part of the United States. Their diplo-
matte agents are in Washington for
that very purpose now, while the
HonolulH press is carrying on a vigor-
GUS campaign in favor of the scheme.
The Honolulu Bulletin of the Sth
inst. fills It's editorial columns with
articles in advocacy of annexation. 1t
asks whether it would pay this coun-
try to adopt Hawaii as a new star in
the Union. 1t says that the trade of
the islands for 1897 will amount in
round numbers to $25, 600 900, and asks
where there is a section of this coun-
try with a population of not more
than 100000 (the population of the
Hawaiian islands) which can make
ate to numbers. In answer to the sup
posed objection of the careful Amer
lean citizen that the seeding repub-
lie" has a debt of 100000, the Bull
letin says that the careful American
citizen should go softly, and then pro-
duces the following table of receipts
and expenditures prepared by Minister
of Finance S. NJ. Damon:
Can the United States afford to as
sumo our national debt of $4,000, O0O
