The late Congressman Holman of Indi
ana was known as the Great Director, but
Gieat ODstIuctor would have been more
exact. His custom was to object to prac-
tically every bill appropriating money. no
matter how large or how small the snm
and regardless Of the interests involved or
the justice of the measure. But he made
exceptions when his State or district were
concerned; and this well known fact once
brought very sharp and bright retort
from Mr.. Dockery of Missouri, who took
occasion to rally Mr.. Holman about his
care for his own constituency, while he
was insisting upon small expenditures for
Others. Mr.. Dockery quoted the lines:

WANTED THE EARTH.

At a banquet held at the Califor-
MIA Hotel, in San Francisco, where
about hundred OF California's
brightest men came together, the
drift of talk over cigars and wine
set upon the annexation Of Hawaii.
One eloquent speaker for annexation
spoke of the imp portancs OF Hawaii's
trade to the Pacific States, dwelling
upon the fact that at least ninety
per cent. of the island trade came
through the Golden Gate already.
Whereupon Mr.. John p. Irish ex-
claimed: "Good God how much
more do you want2" "Would you
assume the cost and responsibilities
that annexation would entail to Sc
cure the remaining ten per cent?"

country you should join, hut il you
are an honest country now you will
soon become politically dishonest
under her control Money will buy
everything and you will degenerate
into quasi slave holding country.
You have no friends in England to
help you by interference. Our gov
ernment has more important things
to attend to than Hawaii II would
be a proftless speculation for us,
aud might lead us into war which
we do not wish to force, but which
we are willing to onter into, il 30 de-
sired, but we want something more
important than Hawaii to fight
about. She is useless to us com
mercially and strategically we are
strong enough without her. We
would, however, join the other Pow
ers interested in the Pacific in guar
anteeing her independence"

The hopes of the aunexationists
are centred not so much on the rati-
fcation Of the Treaty of Annexation,
as upon the passage OF Senator
Morgan's Bill to admit Hawaii as a
Territory of the United States, the
laws OF the United States to be oper-
ative in this country on July 4, 1898.
The Treaty racket is but the bluff
but the Bill is the right bower of
their expectations, and this is why
Senator Morgan is armed cap-a-pie
with information for the great battle
