Now that the question OF making the
Hawaiian islands part OF the United
States has become live political issue.
it is interesting to notice the different
arguments and opinions advanced on the
subject.
short time since the public were re-
called with an able and plausible disserta-
tion setting forth the advantages to DO
conferred on the United States by the pro-
posed annexation Of Hawaii, and these
advantages were enumerated by no less
an authority than Mr.. Thurston, special
| commissioner to the islands under Presi-
dent Cleveland Now comes Or. Prince
A. Morrow in an article IN the current
| number of the North American Review,
and deprecates the pending treaty Oh the
| startling hypothesis that annexation would
probably lead to the spread of leprosy in
the United states. He says:
Ever since isis leprosy has had lodg-
ment on the islands. In 1863 part OF the
Islend OF Molokai was set aside us a leper
colony, and since its establishment 5000
lepers have been sent to She colony, OF
whom 1000 died. In the first twenty
years 3oI6 lepers were sent to this colony.
while from 1856 to 1896 204a were trans
ported, With this apparent Increase in
victims Of the disease the annual percent
age OF deaths has been reduced from %
per cent to is per cent-this for the rea-
| son that patients are received In earlier
stages OF the disease and 80 live longer in
the colony. But none ever get WE'LL
DR.. Morrow's reasoning, boiled down. is
that the disease is no rcspecter of persons
or nationalities; that the Hawaiian As
lands today are hotbeds Of tho dread nal
ady; that in its early stages leprosy de-
tlcs detection. and that annexation of these
islands naturally would lessen quarantine
restrictions on the Pacific coast, thereby
increasing the chances OF the Introduction
into this country Of this most loathsomc
OF all human His.
ordinarily, the physician is radical IN his
pathology; with him the possible uirsb be
regarded as the probable At the same
time. Dr. Morrow has put a serious light
on this subject OF annexation, In which It
may be well to view even possibilities
with some measure OF concern.

lively sums up the result of the elections,
so far as they have been ascertained as
very gratifying fer the democracy. The

Tracy, had on Tuesday morning, the fol-

Organism is dead. We must prepare. if the
democrats make gains in the president i
State. for heavy silver enslaughts in the
congress elections next year"
Well Chic has been heavily cut IN the
way the Press apprehended, and Bryan aul
free silver are correspondingly elated
There is a cry OF Let democrats get To-

year ago Mckinley carried the State OF
New York by ess,sss plurality. Now 1t has
bscu carried by the democrats with plur-
sitsy estimated at $4,000. But the admin

1t is asserted BY republican organs that

In the New York contest. and therefore the
Overwhelming republican defeat can not
