Thielmann was instrumental in framing

CommendabIe Enterprise.

There Is a very general sympathy with
the movement now under way to raise
a sufficient fund for the commencement of
the work of erecting a new home for the
local Y. NJ. C. A, which was burned out
two years ago. Last night at a meeting of
the committee in charge of the enterprise.
which is composed of some of the leading
church workers and citizens of the Dis
trict. the matter was put upon plain
business basis, but underneath that lies
a wholesome sentiment. The city cannot
afford to be without well-equipped as
ISOLATION. To this end commodtous
building, fitted with the latest conyen-
fences, is a necessity. The community
reaps a rich harvest from the investment.
for this organization is one of the staunch-
est elements for the moral welfare of the
young men of the District now in exist
ence. 1t exercises constant and direct
influence upon them, individually and col
lectively, and infuses a better tone into
the social atmosphere of the community.
The building scheme appeals therefore to
those who are not directly connected with
religious work as we'll as to those who
labor In that field. 1t comes home to every
to sectarian worship. AS the case now
stands there is in hand the sum Of $4,000.

Of construction can begin. When that Is
done the association will be able to float
a loan that will carry the work to COM
pletion and the organization will then be
able to meet all its obligations and grad
ually liquidate its debt.

Candidate and Plntform.

MIR. Teller and Mr.. Bailey both declare
for Mr.. Bryan for 1900. and speak. un-
doubtedly. for a large number of men in
their respective sections. But they do not
give the same reasons for their adherence
to the Nebraska leader. and therein lies
the difficulty that may be encountered
three years hence in effecting again the
union of last year. Discussion between
now and then, not to speak of changes
that may grow out of developments from
time to time, may raise up some very
formidable barriers between the factions
that after the Chicago stampede last July
worked together without much friction.
Mr.. Teller supports Mr.. Bryan almost
wholly because of the latter's champion
ship of silver. He probably agrees with
him. too, as to an income tax. But be-
yond those two questions the two men are
in no sort of agreement. Mr.. Teller is a
protectionist and as a republican Of long
standing Endorses that party's interpreta-
ton of the extent of the national power
The Chicago platform commanded his APP

obliged, however. to accept it or reject 1t
I'm toto. his devotion to the cause of silver
led him to subordinate everything else to
silver. and. protectionist and republican as
he was, he swallowed the low tariff, and
what was called the free riot provision
of the deliverance. Can he and republic
cans like him be brought to do that again?
On the other hand. Mr.. Bailey likes Mr..
Bryan because the latter represents the
whole of the Chicago platform. This
means a low tariff and restriction Of the
national power. as well as free coinage of
silver and an income tax. Mr.. Bailey con-
fesses that at one time he had his doubts
about Mr.. Bryan's democracy. and that
those doubts have only been removed by
the Chicago platform in its entirety. Mr.
Bailey makes the platform the test of dem
ocracy. He, in effect, says, indeed, that
his support of Mr.. Bryan is based upon
Mr.. Bryan's unqualified support of the
platform.
How are these differences to be COM
posed? Mr.. Teller and Mr.. Bailey were
brought into cooperation last year as the
result Of a stampede. stampede Of like
character cannot be executed again. The

Mrs. Domini.. Gn.terins GenernIitie.

Mrs. DOminis' Glittering Genera1ifies.
If it were necessary to analyze the pro-
TEST against Hawaiian annexation filed by
Mrs. Domnis TO illustrate its utter futility

Special Commissioner Kinney which is
given in today's issue il the course of an
interview with him. He shows how spe-

iryokes special consideration for her out

Mrs. Dominis plea for her crown lands
it appears that there is nothing in it what
ever. She is dealing in generalities without
legal substance. and only adding to the
absUrdity of her position by laying claim
t. the divine right of kings that knows not
the laws of Individual rights and ignores
property titles. 1t is well that Mrs. Do

Bro,Ybenting the commissioners.

III Is high time to enter IrOtes. against
the browbeating methods employed by out
side persons who seek to do business with
the District COVER nment. A case immedi-
aieiy in point is the threat of the repre-
sentative of a New York printing firm to
carry complaints to President Mckinley if
the Commissioners do not award the con-
tract for the official printing for the next
year to that concern. Aside from the fact
Mat the threat is in all probability futile
for it is beyond belief that the President
would pay the least attention to it, the
episode illustrates the unbusnessiike ten
dency of some PERSONS to question the au-
thority and the capacity Of the Commits
sioners in their conduct of the municipal
business. The threat to go over the heads
OF the Con missioners to the President has
been male before, in cases of appointments
for which the local authorities are alone

encouragement. He has chosen the Com
mIssioIers with full confidence in their
ability to administer their duties Impair
TALLY and for the good of the community
and he has far too important affairs pend
ing before him to pause to rebuke his APP
Tcintees by directing them to do specific
things contrary to their judgment.
This Incident is fair evidence of the i'm
mediate need of legislation that will enable
the Commissioners to exclude all outside
biGders from the competition for the ofti-
ciai printing and all other similar public
works. 1t indicates that the bidders have
al solutely no interest in the community
and that IL ey are seeking to take advan-
t. ge OF the Commissioners at every turn.
The Commissioners find themselves con-
frcnted with most delicate and embar-
RAISING task. The public printing IS
done under contract and the laws are such
that the work must be thrown open to all
bidders. notwithstanding the fact that 1t Is
to the rest interest of the District govern
nent to have the work done at close range.
The representative of the outside firm,
whose bid is only slightly lower than that
of a local office, threatens to pillory the
Commissiorer s, to appeal from them to
the Pre- sident. With the intimation that
Trey will not dare to stand in opposition
to such an Influence. The District Com
mittees of Congress should take cogniZance
of this affair and make repetition impos-
sibie by Passing bill at the next session

lishments located within the District. This
threat should operate to bar the New York

Uncle Sam Must Control.

1t has been the sentiment of the Ameri-
can public for considerable time that no
nation other than the United States should
obtain control or possession of Hawaii.
While there has been a decided difference
of opinion as to the wisdom and expediency
of aEnexing the islands, the people have
been practically unanimous in the position
that this country should insist upon a DOM
mating influence in Hawaii and resent the
Interference in its affairs Of European or
ASiatic nations.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
1t Is fortunate, touching the point Of
early action, that the pros and cons of
the annexation issue are so thoroughly un-
derstood. The whole question has been
threshed out in Congress and the press,
and there will be 40 need of commissions
and long winded inquiries to get at facts
and deductions. The resources and STRAIT
egical Importance of the islands are known
to all. The Japanese threat has been
measured. The title of the Dole regime
to the government Is not in doubt, espe-
cially since the Queen made her voluntary
and sweeping abdieation. Questions of de-
tail, notably those regarding the rights and
privileges of Kanakas and Chinese resi-
dents of the islands, need settlement. but
these are not 30 difficult as they appear.
At the worst they are not important
enough to oversnadow the least of those
great commercial and strategic advan-
tages which the possession of the Hawaiian
group would give us. and which would
be irretrievably lost If Hawaii should be
left to the untender Inercies of Japan or
Great Britain.

Uncle Sam Should Have Guardianship
From the Cincinnati Enquirer

That the government Of the United States
should maintain such a guardianship over
the republic of Hawaii would prevent
the islands from falling into the hands of
England, Japan or any other foreign coun-

triotic American citizen. Perhaps anpexa-
