There are people here from many

Through the secrecy which seems TO
envelop everything governmental now
a-days, there filters out the sug-
gestion that the United States military
officials now in Honolulu make the
claim that they are entitled, at their
discretion, to take possession for the
use of the military Of the United States
of any Government property which
they may choose for such purpose.
1t is stated that Gen. Merriam has
said in 50 many words to Minister
Cooper that if he choose to do 50 he
can take the present Executive build
ing for military purposes, and the Elk
ecutive can occupy tents for their pur-
poses, if they think fit so to do.
Whether or not the military or the
civil authorities shall occupy any par
ticular Government building is Of
comparatively little practical import
ance, although there certaily does not
seem to be any reason why the chief
civil Executive building OF the country
should be continued in use as barracks.
The only reason why such use was
ever made Of it was the abnormal con
dition Of affairs here, which has now
passed and there should pass with it
any semblance of military govern
ment.
OF far more Importance is the prin-
ciple involved.
Neither the Annexation Resolution
nor President McKinley's Proclamation
constituted the territory of Hawaii a
military reservation, or created a mill
tary government to administer its at
fairs.
Both the Resolution and the Procla-
nation of the President continue in eX-
istence the civil government Of the
country, which, both under the Consti-
tuition of Hawaii and the Constitution
of the United States, is paramount to
the military power, except in time Of
actual war at the actual place of war.
1t is rumored that President Dole and
the Cabinet are reluctantly about to
riam and that the military authorities
are about to take possession of pOr-
tions of the Executive building.
Whatever disposition may be made
of the troops or the Government prop
erty the issue should be distinctly
made by the Executive and settled
once for all that this Government is
a civil Government and not mill
tary one, and that the powers of the
United States military in Hawaii are
no more and no less than they are in
any portion of the United States.
Gen. Merriam has no more power OF
authority to take possession of the
Executive building in Hawaii than ne
has to seize for the use of the military

Territorial State House in New Mex

A GOVERNMENT PROPOSED.

At the annual meeting Of that very
influential body, the American Bar As
ISOLATION. held at Saratoga in July,
Hon. VIM Writ Howe, of Louisiana,
after discussing national arbitration,
suggested an administrative plan for
Hawaii. Under it the President would
appoint a Governor, Lieutenant Gov
ernor, Secretary, Treasurer, Attorney
General and other executive officers.
These, Mr.. Writ suggests, should con-
stftute a legislative assembly, and
make laws for the territory.
This plan is one substantially prac-
ticed by the British Government in
several of it's dependencies.

BISMARCK.

In one of the most critical reviews
of Bismarck's life it IS said that he
was the most reckless truth teller III
great crises with whom European dip
lomats had to deal There appeared IN
a London journal in 1862 an account
OF a man named BismafcE, who had
become a little prominent in Prussian
politics. 1t was said of him th2t he
caused much irritation to the Govern
ment. and even to his own supporters
by telling the truth, however blunt or
inconvenient it was to DO so. One OF
his friends urged him to be m"re poli-
tic in some of his discourses. His re-
ply was that in public matters the
more truth the better.
This phase of Bismarck's character
the little politicians never understood.
He seemed to achieve much more than
they did. and he succeeded on the whole
better than they.
If Bismarck had been a member OF
Mr.. DoIes Cabinet during the last five
years one can hardly conceive how he
would have worried some of his col
leagues in revealing secrets.

THE SOBER SECOND THOUGHT.

The latest writings from the Main
land indicate some decline in the ''eX-
pansion" fever. The sudden and un-
expected capture of the Philippines
dazzled the eye of the nation. 1t reused
that savage love of victory which
Christian and heather nations share
alike But the AnglO-SaXons are not
ed for the final mastery over them
selves by the second thought" The
many and perpleXing questions arising
out of any annexation, or government,
of the Philippines, are gradually pre-
senting themselves. The rich and
splendid coloring of an imperial policy
is now softening down to the dull gray
OF reality.
1t is certain that there will be no
return to the state of isolation. The
crab is larger than its stiff, infieXibie
she'll and now casts it away. Wash
ingtons words were cords which tied
ND the swaddHng clothes of only an
infant. They are thrown away. The
factories and the workshops, and the
merchants are peeping over the high
walls OF exclusion which conceal the
ripe fields of commerce beyond the
seas.
There is no love Of glory, or of do
minion that touches the true national
heart. Why talk or think of empire
abroad? Out of the corners Of four
States. Eastern Tennessee, North Car
DINA, West Virginia and Georgia can
be cut a territory larger than that OF
France; a territorv now almost wild
erness, and yet with such variety OF
exhaustIess resources that 100000 OF
people may flourish on it. So Edward
Atkinson says. Why cross the seas
when such a possible empire lies with
in an arrows flight? Why think OF
empire when the vast territory of the
West has hardly been scratched?
The restless, the shifting, the prac-
tically homeless people Of America to-
gether with those of a most optimistic
temperament, are not really thinking
of empire, but of trade and personal

Ills unusual talent soOE brought him
reputation and prominence among his
professional brethren. First he was
elected 70 the professorship of anatomy
and surgery in the Vermont University.
Next he was appointed lecturer on ma
| terra medica and medical botany in Darts
mouth College. The next year he wa
chosen professor of the chair then vacat-
ed by Prof. Robby, and occupied the
chair. the most important one in the
country, at the time when he first for
mulated his most remarkable prescrip-
| ton.
Prof. Phelps has given to his profess
ion in Paine's celery compound posi-
tive cure for sleeplessness. wasting
strength, dyspepsia, biliousness. liver
complaint, neuralgia, rheumatism, all
nervous diseases and kidney troubles.
1t is the only specific recognized and pre-
scribed today by the best physicians for
diseases arising from debilitated ner-
vous system. For such complaints Paine S
celery compound succeeds again and
again where everything else fails.
No remedy was ever so highly recon-
mended, because none ever accomplish
es so much.
Paine's celery compound stands with.
out competition for feeding exhausted
nerves and building up the strength OF
the body. 1t cures radically and per-
manently. A healthy increase in appe-
tite and corresponding gain in weigh,
and good spirits follow the use of Paines

To Pay.

And 1t Is Very Likely To Get Its Wish

London. October 2l.-The Speaker in
long article on the .peace commission,
says:
"The reluctance of America to annex
Cuba Is mainly due to desire to escape
the burden of the Cuban debt. At the
same time, the doctrine Of International
law by which debt incurred by ruler
binds his successors, rests upon slight
foundation.
SIT Is monstrous that tyranny should
be able to burden future generations sim.
ply because it is in possession of the
material government. If investors felt
that in international law loans incurred
against the will of the people would not
attach to the country in the event of a
change of government, there would be
less of that monetary support Of mis-gov-
ernment which has disgraced the high
finance of the nineteenth century.
"For fifty years Spain has ruled Cuba,
in defiance of the will of the Cubans and
in spite of the constant protest of the
United States. The cost of her military
operations there has been met by loans
especially chargeable upon Cuba, in the
first place in order to punish the Cubans
and In the second in order to arrange for
a cheap retreat in the event of being driv-
en- out by America.
"In a word, the debt has been charged
upon Cuba largely with the object of sad
ding 1t upon the United States The
bondholders were encouraged to look to
the supposed doctrine of international
law as parb of the security, while they
knew they were lending to Spain against
The will Of both Cubans and Americans.
1t is to be hoped that the United States,
while assuming sovereignty over Cuba,
will refuse to pay any part OF the debt ex-
cept the money used in the development
of the island, thereby setting a most USE
full precedent, of which tyrants and
financiers will do we'll to take note.
