4 TRUE DEMOCRAT.

Sir George Turner, Premier of Vic
toria, is evidently "a true democrat.
The japan Gazette tells of him at the
Jubilee Celebration. One of the troub-
les of Sir George Turner was that
zone of those gentlemen with red
coats on" was deputed to take care of
him, and would not leave him. When
Sir George wanted to take his walks
abroad, and thought of 'sneaking out"
there stood the man in charge. These
attentions he endured with what
grace he could, but at the ofiicious-
ness of the valet he drew the line.
When "a gorgeous being" introduced
himself into the recesses of Sir
Georges bedroom and said 81 have
come to dress you" mo, you don't,
my FRIEND" said the Premier, there's
the door; I'm in the habit of dressing
myself"
1t is this kind of man who makes
the greatness of nation. He has Ia
ken the handle" to his name because
that is the way honor is conferred,
not upon himself, so much as upon the
colony of which he is the, momentary
head, but he does not forget that he
is man and not being to be walt
ed on by fiunkies. 1t is a little thing,
but straws show the way the wind
blows. Some day ''handles" will right
ly disappear from Anglo-Saxondom.

A LEAP IN THE DARK.

The question which the anti-annex-
ationists have before them is this:
Either they want the monarchy re-
stored or they want the Islands to fall
into the hands of some power other
than the United States. There does
not seem to be any other course. a
restored monarchy would lead to moth
ing but anarchy. The monarchists are
not themselves as one. There is par
ty which holds for the eX-Queen, there
is a party which centers its hopes on
Kaiulani, though of the latter it may
be justly said she is taking no active
political part and states that she de-
sires to take no political part, but her
mere presence here, though she is no
active intriguer, inspires "a party with
fallacious hopes.
If the anti-annexationists then get
their desire, these two parties would
naturally fall out, and there is as
much bitterness between them, as
they now. feel to the dominant repub-
lican party. And the republican party
would have to be reckoned with. The
men who have established what they
consider as the only rational form of
government, by which a country
should be ruled, and have swept into
the waste basket of time, all the rub
Dish and paraphernalia of royalty, are
not going tosstand quietly by and see
their work destroyed without strug
gle.
Weakened as the country would
then be, it would fall ready prey to
any outside influence which might be
brought to bear on it. 1t is very well
for Japan, under present circumstan-
ces, to say that she has no designs up
on the Islands. People who have liv-
ed among the Japanese, who have
mixed with their statesmen and know
some of the inner workings of their
political game, tell us that there have
been designs. They may have been
abandoned before the power of the
United States, but they are there
none the less, and are ready to be Ia
ken up again should opportunity
serve.
As long as the annexation cause is
under discussion there is no fear from
abroad, but. let the plans of the anti
ar1lexationists succeed and Hawaii
will enter upon Il period of trouble
both within and without. 1t is only
the aegis of the United States which
protects us.
Now the position of the annexation
lists is clear. The Islands will
strengthen the western boundary of
the United States, and will give her
the key of the North Pacific. The Is
lands as American territory will have
the full advantage of the liberty which
every American citizen has as his
birthright, and, at the same time, will
be assured of a stable government
which will give stability to our indus
tries, and will attract investment,
while there will be thorough protec-
ton from anything in the nature of
designs from any Asiatic power. The
anneXationist knows what he desires,
and struggles for the best interests
of the country. The anti-anneXation-
list is really taking a leap in the dark.

Some years ago Harper's or the
Century published facsimilies of pages
of the magazine as they had been OBJ
liberated before being allowed to cir
culate in Russia. The articles were
those by KEENAN, referring to the
condition of the exiles in Siberia. Of
course nothing bearing so scathing
charge against the Russian system
was likely to be acceptable TO the
powers that be in Russia, but conceive
the condition of affairs in nation
which will not allow any criticism of
its affairs. The matter is brought to
mind by paragraph in James

ed London News for December 4th
