HELPING THE PRESIDENT.

There is a distinct flavor of the "new
journalism" in the report that President
Mckinley has forwarded to Madrid assur.
ances of his sympathy with Spain.
So many reports Of like and similar
purport have been sent out during the
past few months, only to be contradicted
at headquarters, that the people have
come to take these alleged outlines of
policy with very large grain of salt.
The president, it seems, is constantly
having his foreign policy defined by
these exponents of this new sensational
ism, in advance. From these journals we
learn that the government at Washington
has laid down its policy to be thus and so.
On every question that comes up the
president and his cabinet have only to
look in these newspapers to ascertain ex-
actly what course they have decided to
pursue upon any question under con-
sideration.
The policy makers have put up the an
nouncement in flaming headlines days he
fore. The fact that they seldom, if ever,
hit upon the policy that is really followed
does not seem to disconcert them in the
least.
One would think that at times little
embarrassment would creep into the stu
alton. But this is not so, or at least it is
not apparent, in most striking repetl-
tions of the offense from time to time.

The NEW TREATY.
statehood

Hawaiian annexation is booming. Yea
terday the proposed treaty was signed by
Secretary Sherman for the United States
and the three Hawaiian commissioners
for their country. The islands under the
terms of this treaty are TO be admitted as
a territory of the United States, which
territorial possessions. No provision is
made for the deposed members of the
Hawaiian royal family, and none is de-
manded or expected by the people of the
annexed territory. OF course Queen Lii
expects it, but then she expects 80 much
that nobody pays any attention to her re-
quests of late. As Hawaii was fully rep
resented in drawing this treaty it must
be taken for granted that its terms cover
the ex rotations of a majority of the
people of the islands, who have been
anxious for annexation for a long time.
So anxious have they been for this boon,
that the United States could have effected
annexation under terms far less ad
vantageous to the islanders& than those
embodied in the present document, had
there been any desire on this side to give
Hawaii the little end of the bargain. 1t
: is thought that the treaty will be received
with favor by ma joritY of the senators
and that its speedy approval will follow
it's introduction in that body.

through both houses. In politics as well
as in business good, hard, steady, we'll
work will succeed In this instance. The
people of New Mexico should go to work
now and from now on to attain statehood
should not be laggards and lose no more
time. The NEW MEXICAN has good rea-
son to believe that President Mckinley
would favor such movement and would
sign the right sort of a bill giving New
Mexico the great and glorious boon of
statehood.

PUSH FOR STATEHOOD.

The feeling 10 Washington as to grant
ing statehood to this territory is much
better now, than it was year ago. A
united and strong attempt by the people
of New Mexico toward the passage of an
enabling act by congress will be crowned
with success. Governor Otero believes
that il is mons too early to commence
work In that direction. He will do his
very best to make the attempt success
full. Delegate FERGUSON is also known
TO favor the movement. Statehood for
the territory may not come during the
present congress, but great deal Of work
can be done during the present
and the coming session Of the Fifty.ffth
congress and during the Fifty-sixth con-
grsss an enabling act oan be pushed
