is IA WAH TO BE ANNEXED

When Congress assemblies in December
the proposition to annex Hawaii TO the
United States will come up before that
body with renewed vlgor.
During the recent summer months several
members OF both houses have visited the
islands for the purpose of acquainting them
selves with the habits and characteristics OF
the people, and also to obtain such general
information from direct sources as might
enable them to vote inteligently upon the
proposition. Whatever action Congress may
see fit TO take in the matter will depend
largely upon the light which is shed upon
it by the disclosures of these visiting states
men.
Without anticipating the action OF Con
gress il suffices to say that the proposition
to annex Hawaii is one of widespread and
profound interest, and that arguments have
been advanced on both sides of it, Even
the Hawaiians themselves are not unani-
nous in their desire 10 come under our flag
although most of them are in favor of an.
tAhllOu. ItoluCut ioitb Vho 10 AiNShpy
in favor of annexation, says in recent in
terview published in the New York World :
"As the islands are so far away from
other countries and as the Asiatic popula-
ton lie fast increasing in numbers, it is
serious question, If they are left alone,
whether the republic could survive with the
willing consent of the foreigners. Besides,
If the United States has constantly to pro-
tect the islands under the present govern
ment, why should not the United States
take them altogether? This is great coun-
try for commerce. 1t is the natural land for
American ownership. To all intents and
purposes it is an American colony anyway,
as far as business, capital and industry are
concerned, and it should be part of the
body polite of the United States"
When the matter comes up in Congress
the argument on both sides Of the PROPOSE
ton will be thoroughly reviewed. There
can be no doubt of the fact that annexation
is largely TO the interest of Hawaii, but the
main issue for our lawmakers to decide is
whether or not it is to the interest of the
United States.

RETIREMENT or JUDGE LYNCH.


On the 23rd instant the Hon. John A.
Lynch completed thirty years of service as
Associate Judge OF the Sixth Judicial Cir
cult of Maryland, and retired to private life.
He rounded out two full terms upon the
bench, privilege vouchsafed to but few of
his brother judges who were elected at the
same time, in 1857.
In Montgomery county the sentiment of
regret is universal that the Constitution OF
the State compels the retirement OF an Off
cial whose conduct was at all times that OF
the courteous Christian gentleman coupled
with the firmness, the ability, the Impair
TALLY and conscientious fidelity which char
acterize the safe and Trustworthy judge
Modest and retiring in his disposition, Judge
Lynch was yet fully alive TO the RESPONSE
bilities and dignity Of his position, and met
them promptly and bravely, but without
ostentation or dsplay-in the manner, In
fact, which we would expect from the purity
of his life and the straightforward manliness
Of his character.
His example, both as man and judge, is a
bright one for his successor 10 follow, II he
would endear himself to the people of this
county, who had come to regard Judge
Lynch with affection as well as with respect,
and who feel real sorrow as they bid him
farewell.
We trust that many years OF life and
health yet remain for the retiring judge, and
that the days of his leisure will be as useful
as we know they will be honorable and
honorad

President Mckinley holds that his amend.
ment OF July 81 to rule two of the civil-ser-
vice rules applies to reductions of rating as
well as to removals from the service. This
announcement is of interest for the reason
that the rule has been differently inter-
preted by public officials. Some have in
terpreted the word removal" to mean re.
moval from the service, while others believe
it means a change of rating or the removal
from one grade to another in the classified
service.

What is said to be biggest farm In the
world is in the southwestern part of Louis
lana and is owned and operated by syndi-
cate of Northern capitalists. 1t embraces
100000 acres Of land, which were origl.
nally big pasture for cattle. The land is
devoted to the cultivation of cotton, corn,
sugar and rice. East and west the estate
covers 100 miles The Southern Pacific
Railway runs through it for nearly 40 miles.
A good deal of attention is paid to raising cat
tie, oil which the syndicate owns 10000 head.
The company operates several steamers on
the navigable rivers that run through their
mammoth farm, and they also have rice
mills, shipysrd, ice plant and bank.

serious questions. One is the insufficency
of the revenues TO meet the governments
expenditures The deficit since the first of
August has run up to about $35,000,000. 1t
was more than 100000 for the first half
of this month. The present administration

ciencies from the left over proceeds of Mr..
Cleveland's bond sales. Another moment
GUS question is the chaotic condition of our

one reason why the boys leave the farm
is that the whole system of education in our
public schools is to fit them for almost any
trade, business or profession ercept agricul-
ture. This fact has been emphasized by
discussions at farmers institutes all over the
country for some time. The feeling that
our system of education needs TO be reformed
in this respect is becoming irresistible. New
Jersey has already started an effort to teach
the rudiments OF agriculture in the common
schools. The Connecticut State Grange has
courteously requested the State Board of
Agriculture to try the plan, and il it de
clines to do 50, c. p. Augur and others in
terested propose to carry the matter into the
Legislature next winter. A similar state
of public sentiment exists wherever the
public school system has been highly de-
veloped, especially in the West The more
one looks into the complex and advanced"
system in our more progressive" schools,
the more the impression grows that the ten
dency of the system is partly wrong, if not
all wrong The public schools should ed .
ucate youth to be workers, not dudes.

TILE DREYFHS CASE.

The Dreyfus case is once more becoming
of as great interest and importance as it was
when the unfortunate officer was first de-
graded and sentenced for life on the Isle du
Diable. The presumption that Dreyfus is
innocent is daily growing stronger, and it
is certain that the affair will not now be al
lowed to rest until the guilt has been in
dubitably fastened upon him or the real cul-
prit discovered.
Count Esterhazy is becoming involved in
his denials, but there is no danger that he
will meet fate like Dfeyfus il he keeps out
of France, for just now he is living in safety
over the Italian border, and of course can
not be extradited even if the offense is
brought home to him.
The new aspect of the case puts the
French people in even a worse light han
ever before. The crime of which Dreyfus
was convicted was black enough, but trea
son and selling of military secrets are not
peculiar to any nation, as our own history
shows II, however, he is proven innocent,
the plot that worked bis ruin shows de
gree of degradation beyond that known in
any other country 1t is doubtful if any
other capital in the world, except perhaps
Berlin, is cursed with such set of black
mailers and vampires Americans have al
ways had tender place in their hearts for
France, but there is something wrong with
a country where such thing is possible.

Chief Judge Brscoe of the Seventh ia.
diclal circuit, In his charge TO the Grand
Jury at the November term Of the Charles
County Circuit Court, held Immediately
after the election, took occasion TO refer 10
the notorious use of money on election day.
He announced his belief that money has
been used to illegally influence voters at
elections held in this county for several
years past" but as no specific charge had
been brought TO the attention of the court
he did not think il worth while to direct the
jury TO make an investigation. At the same
time, he deemed it his duty to earnestly
call public attention to this supposed evil"
and TO recommend the passage by the COM
ing General Assembly OF "such laws as will
prevent the possibility of such acts in the
future, the practice of which cannot but
tend TO the decentralization Of many of our
people," Judge Briscoe's recommendation
is worthy Of serious consideration. Bribery
in Maryland has reached such proportions
that immediate and drastic measures are alb
solutely necessary for its curtaiment and
suppression. To insure the carrying out of
statutes upon this subject, the public con-
science must be aroused. Since the cleo
ton more has been said in the State press
about bribery than at any time in the past
thirty years. Papers of all political opin-
ions unite in the view that corruption ought
to be, if possible, ended. 1t is to be hoped
that the present exposure and agitation will
be fruitful of good results.
