MOST AMERICAN NEWEPNPERS
FAVOR IT.
Strong Reasons Advanced for the
Amalgamation of Republi-
can and Democratic Papers Alike
Favor the Cause,

~ treaty of annexation will undoubt-
eddy be received with favor by the
American people. The vote for its
ratification will not run along party
lines.-Boston journal.
There is every reason to believe that
intelligent American sentiment Is
strongly in favor of either anneXa-
ton or in some other way of securing
control of Hawaii's future.-Detroit
journal.
England has found outlaying col.
onies extremely useful in times of
peace or war. The United States
could extend territorial form of gov
eminent to Hawaii and thus acquire
rights there of inestimable impor-
tance.-Syracuse Post.
No better use of the great engine
of the Executive power in its highest
function of territorial expansion has
been furnished by any of our Pres
dents than this President has now Civ
en- us. Mr.. Mckinley has annexed
awaii.-New York Press.
Hawaii is at least affording a little
diversion. When some of the Senators
tire of anneXing Cuba they can turn
in and annex the other island for
while.-Chicago Record.
The only job in the Hawaiian affair
is the Sugar Trusts opposition to an
neXation.-Philadelp Press.
The protest of some English jour
nails against ''land grabbing" by the
Uniter States is sublime or ridiculous,
according as you look at it.-New
York Tribune.
The annexation of Hawaii to the
United States will be beneficial to the
people of both countries; and it re-
quires little of statesmanlille fore
sight to discern that it will be in some
way a sort of guaranty of the peace
of the western hemisphere. Chicago
Inter-Ocean.
1t fortunately happens that there
are neither political nor administra-
tive difficulties in the way of anneXa-
ton. To all intents and purposes
Hawaii is an American colony now.
It's affairs are conducted by Ameri-
cans.-Brooklyn Eagle.
Facts and conditions bring us to the
conclusion that if Hawaii cannot main
tain it's independence with a govern
ment friendly to the United States it
is the interest of this government to
take charge of the Islands-to annex
them.-Indanapoli ournal.
Those who favor Hawaiian anneXa-
ton are now called by the opposition
''intemperate champions of immediate
annexation" This is very amusing
when one remembers that annexation
has been before the country for
four years and six months.-Philadel-
phia Press.
AS a matter of pure business poll
tics, looking to the future develop
ment of American commerce on the
western ocean and to the security Of
our western shores, the acquisition
of this group of islands is of incalcul-
able Importance to the United States
st. Paul Pioneer Press.
Japan, it is said, has entered a pro-
test against the annexation of
Hawaii to the United States, on the
ground that it will interfere with the
existing treaty between that country
and Hawaii. But there is no warrant
for any such protest in the terms of
the treaty or international law.-Sr.
Paul Pioneer Press.
1t is grossly absurd to speak of Ha-
waiian annexation as the beginning of
Colonial policy on the part of the
American Government. Tt is great
stretch of the imagination to regard
the insignificant Sandwich islands
group as a colony for a nation like
ours, having vast areas of land wholly
unoccupied by OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
