THE HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.

We hear a great deal about the un-
warrantable interference In the inter
nal affairs of friendly state, when
United State to hold out Its hand 10 the
struggling patriots OF that unhappy
country, but when the matter Of annex
ing Hawaii is mooted, the powers that
be- are as dumb as an oyster on the
unwarrantable interference business. 4
The United States is morally RESPONSE
BILE for the overthrow Of the rightful
government OF the islands. The ques-
ton does not enter here as to the char
acter Of that government-whether 1t
was good or bad II Is the fact which
should be considered. The former gov
eminent Of Hawaii was possibly as bad
as 1t could be, but there are very many
people who think that the inhabitants
OF Hawaii should have been left alone
TO regulate their own internal affairs
without interference from this, or any
other country, but having unwaIranta-
bly, interfered to the extent Of helping
authority, this government now proposes
to go still further by anneXing the is
lands. Its grave question, this mat
ter OF territorial aggression, and one
which is fraught with danger Besides,
there is a strong opinion that behind and
underlying this proposition to annex
Hawaii, that there are sordid and sell
fish motives, and that there is money

kinley, however, now turns Il willing ear
to the scheme, and sends in to Con-
gress treaty signed by the Hawaiian
commissioner for unneXat lon and along
with 1T a message recommending it's rat
ification. The plea set up Is that Hawaii
is place OF stragetic Importance to the
United States, and that we need it for
defense. Some OF these days this very
point Of defense may embroil ut; in u
war with England, Germany or Japan.
Hawaii is 1000 miles away from this
country, and having secured it for de-
Tense, we will have to defend 1t ut any
cost-does anybody know what that
may be? Already Germany and Japan
are protesting against the treatcy Of
annexation, because 1t abrogatcs their
treaty rights already in force with IIa-
wall. IF Congress ratifes The treaty it
had better make Il big appropriation for

GO BACK 70 THE OLD PARTY.

Almost everywhere that reform in

pie, after Il fair trial have
been anxious to change about again In

form administration OF Mayor Strong is
about double what they were under the

These things are hard to -un-
derstand, but such are the con
ditolss which prevail in both

also tired Of the experiment in the same
direction, and some OF the former lead
crs or the Democratic party in that city,
who turned aside from the straight
Democracy there two years ago, are
advising their friends ito return TO the
old party" General I.atrobe, in ad-
dressing the Sixth Ward Democrats in

The party Of economy has always
been the Democratic party, and there
is always danger to the city, State and
nation when It's members stray away
from its good old moorings. General
Latrobe is right, and the Democrats Of
Baltimore, who, for time forgot them

MPoVERIaHING THE PEOPLE FOR
THE GOOD OF THE TRUST.

The Chicago Journal, which has been
4 staunch advocate OF Republican doc
trines all along, IS attacking the tariff
Of It's party with vigor. II condemns the
efforts being made by it's party friends
to induce the people to believe that the
high tariff bill now before the Scnat G
will make them prosperous, and on this
point says:
Tor u long time 1t was easy to
make these people believe that the
kind OF tariff which fosters such In
FAINT Industries as the Sugar Trust
and the Pittsburg Plate Glass COM
pany would beneii. the people Il per-
sisted in long enough and applied
to the building up Of sufficient
number OF industries. But their
number Is diminishing. while n con-
SANITY growing number Is coming to
see that no country can prosper
where governmental interference takes
vast wealth from the people and
gives 1t to greedy monopolies.'
Something must be rotten in Dem
mark" when a paper like the Chicago
Journal attacks the new tariff in this
way. Heretofore it could see no fault in
whatever its Republican friends at
tempted.

f'EArs<IlExG FOR TIE NORTH poL..

If Lieutenant Peary succeeds in find
ing the North Pole for which he is to
begin another search in 4 few days. the
hope is that lie will tow 1t down this
way.
Very many people are inclined to the
opinion that he will accomplish his OBJ
ject this time, and as they can't go
along with him, they at least love to
write and talk about the place where,
mometer does not get to 1O5 in the
shade.
But, seriously speaking. Lieutenant
Peary believes that lie will be able to
locate and reach the exact point Of the
earths axis. and is preparing for q five
pose he does find the pole, in what way
will the world be benefited? 1t will
add to our stock of knowledge, to be
sure, but think OF the hardsrips and pri-
vations, the expenditure OF untold
sums Of money, and the loss Of life at
tending the search from time to time,
and when we come to measure up all
the cost it is very much to be question
ed whether "the game is worth the can
de Still the search has a sort OF fas-
cination for adventurous spirits which
1t seems Impossible to overcome, and if
Lieutenant Peary does not succeed in

there will be others" to come after
him who will prosecute the search.
Going again from the serious side of
this matter, Lieutenant Peary. IL he

succeeds In reaching the pole will be-
come an important man. The great
scientific institutions OF the world will
meet and pass resolutions OF thanks and
can go in the lecture field and make
money, and In time will rest upon his
laurels. In the meanwhile the pole will
continue TO do business at the old stand
with a game Of freeze out" There is
no limit to mans ambition.
