out that with Hawaii annexed to the
United States our laws Tor the restric-
ton of undesirable immigration would
no longer apply to "the mixed races
and paupers" of the islands. We could
not keep them out if we would, for our
Constitution forbids any such discrim-
ination by one part of our country
against another. If we annexed Hawaii
we could not prevent it's inhabitants
from going to any part of the United
States they chose.
The Indianapolis Sentinel makes a
point which has not been pressed as its
Importance demands that it should be.
There is little room for doubt" it says,
chat the entire Chinese population OF
the islands will be promptly transferred
to the main land The demand for
cheap labor is such that it has been
found almost impossible to enforce the
Chinese exclusion act, and it will pay
to bring the coolies from Hawaii and
put them to work in the States at higher
wages than they get there, although
much lower than the workingmen of
this country receive. There is little
room for doubt that this very object is
one of the most potential reasons for
the attempt to rush this treaty through
without regard to consequences. While
rational sentiment is suppressed by
glowing visions of extended territory
and patriotic exuberance about flying
the flag over the islands of the Pacific,
those who want more competition In
the labor market hope to sneak in these
thousands of degraded laborers to take
the places of the protected working
men of America. The scheme is as
plain as if it were avowed expressly, and
if organized labor does not take
prompt stand against it there is danger
that it may succeed. There should be
no delay in action against the project
or in asking Senators to vote against
the proposed annexation"
Organized labor should look into this
and make it's views known to those
who profess to be it's friends in Con-
gress

A LESSON IN COURTESY.

The crowd that greeted Mr.. Bryan in
the City of Mexico called on him for a
speech, but strange as it seems, he pos
ltlvely refused to talk. But. then, perhaps
Mr. Bryan cannot talk Spanish as we'll as
he walks Observation-Disclosures
If any Democratic newspaper had
spoken in this discourteous and flip
pant tone Of the ponderous and solemn
humbug who has been elevated over
Mr.. Bryan, by the power of Doodle in
politics, to the White House, we would
be impressed with the sight of our es-
teemed neighbor raising its qily-white
hands and rolling its sanity eyes heav-
onward in pious horror, and we would
be awed by the sermon it would preach
On the respect which every American
should show to the high Office of Pres
ident of the United States.

THE PARTY OF HYPOCRISY.

The other day the Register had a few
words to say regarding the attitude of
the Republicans in Washington toward
the civil service law. These aroused
the virtuous indignation of our immac-
ulate neighbor, the Intelligencer, which
devOtes a column of space to the sub
ject in an effort to show what a good
and consistent friend of civil service
reform the Republican party is, that the
civil service law has no better friends
than the Republican bosses now in
Washington and that all they ask is
that the law be so amended as to make
it somewhat less less radical than it is
now, or, in plain language (something
our neighbor never uses) they want the
civil service law so amended as to emas-
culate that statute, leaving the admin
istration bosses free to fire Democrats
substitute Republicans.
And our neighb0r wants this "modifi-
cation" of the law made so as to in
clude every department of the govern
ment clear down to the subordinates in
the Offices of United States Marsha1s
and Internal Revenue Collectors.
Democrats, who hold precisely these
same views, are honest and frank
enough to demand the repeal of the civil
service law. Ourx Republican friends.
however, profess loudly their great
friendship for the law. They wouldn't
harm a hair of it's head Oh, no!
Never! It's a good thing! All they
ask is that the law be made imperative.
They want it still kept on the statute
books so they may point to it when any
one mentions the spoils system, but,
sub rosa, they want the spoils system
replaced in full force again.

The evening Republican organs
comment upon the Registers criticism
Of the street cleaning methods in
vogue is a renened demonstration
that the organ doesn't know what it
is talking about. The street cleaning
work is paid for out of the B. P. W.
contingent fund, which fund comes
from the revenues from fines and fees
in Police Court, Wharves, Scales and
Markets, and could not possibly be
affected by any issue of bonds, or the
failure to make such issue.

The members of the Anti-Civil Ser
vice Committee named at the confer
ence of Republican Congressman Sat-
urday are trying to draw up a bill
which will receive the support of a
number of divergent elements. DEM
ocrats are disposed to favor absolute
repeal, but it is claimed that a modifi-
cation bill which will leave the law on
the statute books but in emasculated
shape, will have a good chance of pas
sage. 1t is considered probable that
the bill drawn up by Congressman
Evans will be the measure favored by
the committee. Republican bosses are
nothing if not hypocritical.
