PRESIDENT M'KINLEY AND THE
NEWSPAPER MEN.

President Mckinley knows his
business. At , p. IN. on the 23d
of March 120 newspaper CORE
spondents met by invitation OF
President Mckinley in the East
room of the Executive Mansion
in Washington. The President
wanted 10 see them. As the men
We're introduced TO him. the Presi-
dent took the hand of each. and
paused 10 chat a moment with
the majority of them. OF the 120
correspondents located in Wash
ington. President Mckinley has a
personal acquaintance with some
30 or 40. He called man after
man by name, although il had
been several years since he had
met the most of them. Here and
there he dropped word of ap-
probation and to the representa-
tives of the opposition press he
cracked jokes in his quiet way.
After the President had greeted
all the correspondents. he faced
the group and said: Gentlemen:
| am glad TO see you here. l want
you all TO feel that the Executive
Mansion is public office, and
that YOU are welcome here al any
time. | thank you for coming"
This incident in the career of
President Mckinley will be APP
preciated not only by the CORE
spOndents of Washington. but by
every newspaperman who ever
penned line in the United States.
1t also shows how true it is that
mutual respect and a better pub
lie service must grow out of such
fair and courteous relations with
the press of the land.
President Mckinley has been
in the public service long enough
to know that the representatives

WHITE LABOR CREDITS.

While we do not wish to east
a shadow upon glory of individ-
ual corporations that figure in the
importation of white laborers. we
believe that a fair distribution of
honOrs should be made. In re-
gard TO the white laborers now on
the way to this country from Ger
many. there seems TO be IN idea
prevalent that private enterprise
alone is responsible for the intro
ductiOn of these men.
As a matter of fact the impOr-
tatiOn of the laborerS referred TO
is a direct result of the re-
gulation made by the Govern
ment that ten per cent. of the
plantation hands brought TO this
country shall be white laborers.

THE PHILADELPHIA

One OF the first statements Ad-
miral Beardslee made when. he
arrived OF the port last night
was: Il understand you've had
lots of weddings down here late
"" Possibly this was a cipher
dispatch. but whether il is indie
atiye of war or annexation, we
will leave for the individual
households of the community to
decide.
The mission of the Philadelphia
seems TO be a thoroughly peace
ful one Contrary 10 san Fran
cisco newspaper reports, her guns
are not loaded 10 the muzzle, and
her officers, from Admiral Boards
lee down, are not armed to the
teeth. The men who claimed that

here and perform some powerful
serious work will have 10 look fo.
something else TO amuse them

the flagship band will play. the
9 o'clock gun will boom and the
people of the country will come
and 90 as they have for years
past.
As we have stated previously,
the mission of the Philadelphia
has no more significance than is
contained in oft-repeated Ameri-
can declaration that Hawaii is un-
der the protection of the United
States. AS this is the only foreign |
country in which the American

keeping with a vigorous foreign
policy to station something more

Time works many peculiar
changes in politics. Some of the
American newspapers, that We're
horror struck at the attitude tax
en- by Democratic papers after the
decision of the Supreme Court
against the income tax, are now
using sharp words on their own
account as Il result of the Su-
preme Court decision in the
Trans Missouri Traffic .Associa-
ton case. This last decision was
carried by a majority of one. the
same as the income tax decision.
Many who threw up their caps
when the latter was declared are
now very wrOth, and are inclined
to make light of judicial wisdom.
AS the ans-Missouri case is the
outcome of statutory law. the
fight will be transferred to Con
gress, where an attempt will be
made to convince the people that
do exist that should
not be interfered with.

selfish policy upon the future
population of Hawaii.
The thinking men have realiz-
ed that in consequence of the
benefits derived through the
friendship of the United States,
Hawaii has something more than
a financial duty TO fulfill The
United States did not extend its
friendly commercial arm as a
mere matter of dollars and cents
Back of all the balance sheets
that can be figured out with pen
ell and paper, was the thought
that American commerce would
assist in building up an Ameri-
can community community
in which the Tuetonic race and
American principles should be
the active and controlling power.
In view of the thoughtless ac-
ton of men 10 whom the serious
side of life is the dollars and cents
phase, the present Government
saw il was necessary to place
some check upon the disposition
to give TOO much prominence to
the Asiatic. Increased restriction
of the Chinese was enc of the first
moves and later came the re-
quirement of a certain proportion
of white laborers. Some of the
thoughtless ones saw fit to OPP
pose this last and sought Il con
cession They asked that in case
the number of white laborers i'm

should exceed the required ten
per cent. the excess should be |
counted in the following period.
1t will be noted however. that
the Government has been true to
its trust in demanding that the
shall, not be given full
sway, and due credit should be
given for the position our officials
have taken. To the people at
Washington ten per cent. may

ANNEXATION SITUATION.

/ ANNEAAIlUN SlIUAIlON.
From all that can be gathered
from the newspapers there ha:
been little change in the annex
alton situation since the last ad
vices from the United States. The
plan of campaign seems TO be
definitely decided upon. Con.
gresham Spalding's resolution
was undoubtedly the first move
Although this resolution is rest
ing quietly lin committee. ii will
without doubt make its appear
ance when the tariff has been dis
posed of. We are safe in predict
ing that the administration will
be satisfied with this method of
procedure, and will cooperate
with Congress. To press annex
alton, however. before the tariff
discussion is finished would be
decidedly questionable.
Two straws have appeared on
the Congressional surface that in
dictate a tendency to strengthen
the foreign policy of the United
States and carry the flag of the
nation to adjacent islands. Sen
atOr Lodge introduced a resolu-
ton providing for the appoint
ment of commission to inves-
tigate the feasibility of purchas-
ing the Danish islands of the
West Indies to be used as naval
station of the United States. This
passed the Senate without OppOsi-
ton.
Perhaps a more significant ac-
ton was that of Senator Mills Of
Texas. He made the query: If
the Monroe doctrine has been
brought To bear TO prevent the
interference of European powers
in Cuba. is not the United States
in duty bound to demand that the
rights of Cuban insurgents shall
be recognized? This theory also
applies in the Hawaiian question.
Since the United States has main
tanned a suzerainty- over this
country and demanded that none
of our territory shall he coded TO
any other power, is it not bound
TO extend TO us substantial pOliti-
cal protection? These are qucs
tons on which there is no di-
vision on party lines, and the ma
jority in both the Senate and
House can be depended upon to
give an affirmative answer.
The tariff bill. as passed by the
House. is undergoing vigorous
AT the hands of the Sen
ate Finance Committee. 1t is
stated on good authority that the
committee will not be ready to
until the first of May. The
fight will be made on
the wool and sugar schedules On
the latter the Trust and anti
Trust forces will make strong
fight. Already a resolution has
been offered putting on the free
list all materials used by the
Trust. Another object of the
antitrust forces is TO knock out
the differential duty between raw
and refined sugar, so as to give
the Trust no advantage over the
foreign refined sugars.
If the antitrust forces score
complete victory they will seri-
ously cripple the Dingley bill as
a revenue producing measure
With the many doubtful men

From all appearances, the beet,
sugar men are fighting the Sugar
Trust and annexation as well.
The attitude of Claus Spreckels
is an enigma, since he seems 10 be
playing for beet-sugar patronage.
Possibly, he has not forgotten
some of his former dealings with
the Trust.
The beet-sugar forces object to
annexation, because they fear Ha-
waii has not reached its limit of
production. They also seem To
fear that the annexation of Ha-
wall will be an entering wedge
for Cuban annexation. With the
sugars of Cuba and Hawaii going
to the United States duty free,
the beet-sugar producer feels that
he will be unable to successfully
meet the competition.
This is the situation of today;
tomorrow it may change. The
game of politics is queer one
and presents strange shiftings of
men and parties. The friends of
annexation have only to keep con
stantly at work and wait with
patience. Political bodies cannot
be hurried TO a more rapid pace
than their own sweet will die
-ates.
