The Hawaiian annexation bill
will he brought up Immediately on
the converting of congress and there
is some fear that it NAV be adopted.
Its advocates affect to believe that
the ma jorty of the people of the
islands favor annexation, but there
is better ground for believing that
the majority of the islanders are not
being consulted in the matter and
that opinions favorable to this piece
of rank political iobbery originate in
the minds of its smiling but unscruu-
lous promoters.

AN ARoRTlVE ATTEMPT.

The action of the EIbertOn branch
of the Interstate Building and Loan
Association in ooldemning the course
pursued by Controller General Wright
in his capacity as director in the
Southern Mutual, is not likely to COM
mend itself to the public. The reso-
luton adopted by the Elberton branch
is too clearly inspired by political
animosity to have the desired effect
and Colonel Wright has too long en-
joyed the confidence of the people of
Georgia to be tarred with any such
doubtful stick.
Could it be shown that the official
course of the controller general had
been in any way influenced by his
personal connection with Atlanta's
defunct building and loan association,
tn se who have assumed the functions
of a public censor would have clearer
case. AS it is, nothing is so clear as
the animus of the attack, unless it be
that men of standing and reputation,
are to certain extent at the mercy OF
such desperate and dishonest officials
as those who wrecked the southern
Mutual Building and Loan Associa-
ton.
1t is easy to talk Of precsutions-it
is easy to lock the stable door after the
horse has been stolen, but, when all is
said, the business world, with all its
precautions, is at the mercy of any
smooth swindler who has the skill to
inspire confidence and the baseness to
abuse 1t. Colonel Wright has done
nothing Of which he need be ashamed :;
and those who wish to seperate the
Office of insurance commissioner from
that of the controller general viii
have to hunt new hold, and invent a
more promising pretext for saddhng
a new Office upon people already
sufficiently tax-ridden.

fought, hut should they appeal from
the AppomattOx decision? That of
last November was just as conclusive
for the present-bOth principles are
now merely matters of theoretical be-
lief, the only difference being that one
decision was final and the other may
be reversed at another hearing before
the same court.
The Warrington Star thinks the de-
cision of the supreme court prohibit
ing the association of transportation
companies for the purpose of CONTROL
ling rates, one of the most important
handed down in recent years, and
concludes that the railroads must
either secure the repeal Of the law of
1890 or SO manage their affairs as to
evade the prohibitions of the statute,
There can be little doubt as to which
horn of the dilemma will be taken by
those associated corporations of the
country, whose contempt for law and
public opinion is one of their lnost
notable characteristics. If they dom
find some way of evading the statute
it will be because they find it cheaper
TO bring about its repeal.
