FROM A DEMOCRATIC STAND
POINT


Il Is proposed to annex Hawaii to the
United States. President Mckinley has
examined and signed the treaty by
which that bunch of valuable Pacific
islands may be made a state in our
Union. and has laid the document be
fore the Senate for ratification. Pos
sibly that honorable body will endorse
the measure, but more likely that great
collection OF deliberators will find 1t
consisten., and therefore necessary for
them to debate the advantages or dis
advantages Of the act for several
months. We believe Il a good move to
annex Hawaii To assure our safety on
the Pacific coast, il is a necessary step.
But we are slightly skeptical as to the
motives of the bluif prosperity admin
istration in forcing the issue. Here is
where the cunning OF the Hawaiite ring
crops out again. We are willing to ac-
knowledge that the requirement OF
these islands may be wise, both from
the standpoint of the increased ma
tional strength such a naval station
would provide and from the probable
trade advantages the new1y-acquired
territory would Introduce; but there
are other serious questions which we
would like answered before we fully en-
dorse this treaty. For instance. ''How
viii the Sugar Trust be affected2'
What job Is behind the deal?" win
the beet sugar growers CONSENT" "Who
will get The offices in Hawaii, and who
are the speculators that have land
grabs and cable scheme up their
sleeves?" "Will annexation help the
Republican party out of the tariff hole
and the bondholders out of a bad in
vestment?"
An accurate knowledge OF politics of
the protection sort have brought us to
this depth OF questioning. Custom has
Injured the popular mind to regarding
the government as a strictly business
concern, not directed to making profits
for itself, however but to enriching the
fhvorites OF the party in power, the
trusts that contribute to campaign
funds, and in return are granted the
right to procure legislation in the in
terest of their private pockets. What
ever President McKinley's motive was
in bringing about the annexation
treaty. whether he was animated by the
patriotism OF the statesman. or yielded
as a politician to the pressure OF need
for a diversion OF public attention from
his party's tariff and Cuban plights, lei
US be thankful that ne has acted as ne
has done Whether his motive bs
large or small, high or petty, he has
opened a path along which, unmindfu'
altogether OF his designs, the republic
may advance to nobler issues than
Dutch standards, polariscope tests and
duties on hides and buttons.

Miss Lillian Tangher Adjudged
Guilty of Contempt.

A relic of the past came up before
Judge Elliott, in an action to punish
Lillian Taugher, for contempt for fail
ing to turn. over to S. E. Olson, an
Astrachan coat, on an order of the
court. Not long ago Frederick Hymes
cut quite swath in certain circles,
where he broke several hearts. 1t was
reported that he was fabulously
wealthy, and many maidens set their
caps for him. Among others was Miss
Taugher, who became engaged to him,
and as a present he marched her to
Olson's and purchased for her the
cloak. having it charged to him. Later
he saw the beautiful daughter of Dr.
Bertha Shepherd, and won her 50
quickly that they were married post
haste. Then it was discovered that he
had wife living, but not until ne
had purloined nearly all the valuables
belonging to his last victim. He now
reposes in Saltwater.
Miss Taugher kept the cloak, how
ever, and she claimed that she had
sold it, but the woman to whom she
had sold it allowed her to wear it. The
story was too difficult for Judge Elliott,
so he adjudged her in contempt, and
suspended sentence for a week to allow
her to give UP the property.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug 21-The wheat

made in three options during the same
session. In addition to this cash sold
at $1.05. Traders hardly dared to do
anything until the opening figures from

KIICHLI HAS THE FEVER.
Alderman From the Third Will Go
to kIOndiIxe,

Aid. Joseph Kiichle, he who has been
such shining light in ward politics,
has determined to cut loose from Min
Teapolis in the spring and seek for
tune, if not fame, in the country-sad-
jacent to the KlOndike. The gold coun-
try proper he proposes to let strictly
alone. His plan is to take along
marine engine and team of oxen, by
devOting which to the purpose for
which they were intended, he expects
to make quite as much money as the
miners are undergoing such terrible
hardships for He also expects to take
with him mixed stock of merchandise
to sell to the natives at fancy prices
Il believe" said he, that if man
keeps his eye open for the main chance
he can make more money in other ways
than in mining"
There is one serious obstacle to his
plans which the Third ward statesman
has already encountered, and that is
the alleged indisposition of certain of
his constituents to allow him to escape
serving the remainder of his term. 1t
is said that he will get around this
difficulty by hiring a substitute.
