Of the numerous societies there, that
are to be found wherever Germans are
| numerous, adopted a strong protest
| against the bill and invited German
| societies Of all kinds over the country
| to consider the matter and join 1t. The
resolutions were sent to the senators
and representatives with request to
vote against the bill. We note that a

similar action, and it is more than
probable that these will be joined by
like associations all over the country
II they unite in protesting there will
be an influence brought against the bill
lar more powerful than any mere argu-
ment based on reason or public policy.
The opposition to the bill is funda-
mental. No citizen Of foreign nativity
or descent, remembering the conditions
under which he or his parents migrat-
ed, the motives that moved them, the
opportunity afforded them, can look
now with favor upon a measure that
proposes to raise against others of his
countrymen obstacles that did not ex-
list when he came, and which, had they
then been raised, would have prevent
ed him from coming. The Sheboygan
society denounces the measure as an
insult to the Germans in America and
to their fellow countrymen who may
wish to join them here in American cit
izenship. 1t is no less an insult to the
Scandinavian peoples who form so
large an element of our population. 1t
draws no line between nationalities,
but its basic idea is that immigrants
from all are equally Objectionable, and,
under plausible pretenses, are to be
warned off. When bill similarly mo-
lived was before congress Senator Mel
son said that had such a measure been
in force when he and his widowed moth
er landed in New York, they would
have been turned back. This bill, if 1t
becomes law, will turn back other Mel
sons
The fundamental objection to this

quently stated and urged. It is the
admission, instead Of character The
man with criminal bent, the rogue, the
cheat, is equally undesirable whether
illiterate or educated; the honest law
abiding, industrious man is equally de-
sirable, whether he be unable to read
and write or be a scholar. Our whole
school system, the purpose of all relig-
ious effort, is to build up character.
This proposed bill ignores character
and exalts mere learning. It puts that
first which is second in the elements
of good citizenship. There should be
protest against it from all sources, but
from none more earnest than from
those Of our people who have found
homes here, renouncing allegiance to
foreign states. It insults them through
their former countrymen. The action
of these German societies should be
duplicated by every association of men
of foreign extraction or nativity in the
country. If made, the fate of the bill
would be sealed. No congressman
would Care to face and brave such a
protest.

votes for Mr.. Hanna were violation
of all their pledges. If we are looking
for evidence of direct corruption, we
ment Of Republican members, made
over their own signatures, that bribery
had been resorted to- and asking that
an investigation be made prior to a
legislative choice. We would search
in vain for any more open defiance Of
the principles Of morality than the re-
investigation could be made. If Mr..
Hanna and his agents are clear Of all
completely in such disreputable trans
actions. they have nothing to fear. It
is, however, an almost unheard Of
depth of depravity when such an &C
cusation as this-not based upon ru-
NOR, not proceeding from irresponsible
persons, but founded principally upon
the unequivoca1 assertion of a reput-
able man, ready to appear and testify
to the fact that money had been Of
fered to him for his Votes brushed
aside without a hearing; and the man
thus politically arraigned is chosen to
what is considered the highest office
within the gift of the people of a state.
These are the facts which not only
the Ohio Republicans, but the Repubi-
cans Of the nation, have to explain TO
the people. We imagine that the task
is one so difficult that no attempt to
perform it will be made. When charges
Of corruption are scattered about pro-
miscuously as they now are, not by
the unprincipled Democrats, but by
Republicans in as good and regular
party standing as Mr.. Hanna, and
when the evidence in the case stands
as we have presented it, it strikes us
that the attitude Of the prevailing fac
ton must be one of defense rather than
Of attack. In the present situation the
statements made by Republicans them
selves brand their party, no matter
which horn of the dilemma they may
choose, with the ineffaceable stigma Of
general and shameless corruption.

BRIBERY INVESTIGATION.
Both Houses of the Legislature Fa-
VOr an Inquiry.

COLUMBUS, Jan. 13.-Both branches
of the legislature adjourned today until
Tuesday. In the senate those voting
yesterday against the Burke resolution
for the investigation Of the bribery
changed their votes. Subpoenas were
issued for Dick, Hollenbeck and Otis
to testify before the committee next
Tuesday. In the house there was a
long discussion on the Otis bribery
resolution. AS the Republicans expect
to reorganize the house an attempt
was made to postpone further consid-
GRAFTON of the Otis resolution until Feb.
8, so that Speaker Mason would not
appoint the committee to conduct the
investigation. Speaker Mason an
nounced the standing committees to-
day. The house refused to postpone
the resolution. and it was adopted,
most of the Republicans not voting.
When Scott, one of the dissenting Re-
publicans, asked Boxwell a question,
the latter answered that he would not
reply to traitors. When Speaker Ma
son had Boxwell's words taken down,
the latter said it mattered not what
the chair held, as there would soon be
another speaker.

HANNA IS HAPPY.
SenatOr-EIect Warmly Received by
the Citizens of Cleveland.


CLEVELAND, o., Jan. Ex-senator
Hanna was received in this city this
afternoon, upon his return from Col
umbus, with an enthusiasm far greater
than ever has been accorded any pub
lie man in this city for a decade. Long
before the hour of the trains arrival
thousands gathered on the streets and
began to line the sidewalk. At noon
the Tippecanoe club, the Business
Mems league and the Republican club
gathered before the Masonic building
on Superior street and formed a pa
rade. Half the town turned out to
see them. Headed by a brass band
they marched to the union depot, where
Senator Hanna was met by them. He
was escorted to a carriage and rode to
the Hollenden with James H. Hoyt.
The senator was Justify cheered all
along the line of march, many business
houses practically suspending business
for the time being. Senator Hanna
received an enthusiastic ovation
along the route from Columbus to
Cleveland, and at several points made
brief addresses to the assembled
crowds
Senator Hanna, at the HoIlenden,
made a very happy speech. He said:
''This home coming is sweeter to me
than any honors that have been con-
ferred upon me. I have been elected
to the senate by the Republican party,
but hereafter 1 am the servant of all
the people"
Senator Hanna received the following
telegram from Senator E7Oral-er n > ,,o.,,,
today:
Hon. NJ. A. Hanna: l congratulate you not
only on your election, but also upon YOUR
happy remarks to the general assembly.

Republican majority of fifteen. Six

is Mr.. BoxwelI himself, who made

that an effort will be made to GUST

ing into other hands, as 1t is to make
that same statement with reference to
the Hawaiian islands. There would be
more force in 1t, in fact, because there
already exists a virtual protectorate
by the United States over the latter,
which does not exist in the case of the
former. Under the sheTtering aegis Of
the Monroe doctrine Hawaii is as ut
terly safe from foreign aggression as
If the United States flag were floating
over it and it's shores were guarded by
American men-of-Yar. If this is not
true. then the. Monroe doctrine is
myth or farce.
This is the contradiction in which the
supporters ofDannexation find them
selves involved. Assuming the garb Of
patriotism, they clamor for annexation
on the ground that, if we do not take
Hawaii. some one" else will. But no
one else can take Hawaii until we
shall have torn the Monroe doctrine to
tatters and used the shreds as wrap
ping for cartridges. That doctrine IS
more valid than it ever was, and under
its protection stand today, and must
stand until 1t shall have been abol-
1shed, the government of the Hawaiian
Islands. This Is the unanSWera bic
argument against the need Of annexa-
ton. When the jingoes make an ex-
ception of Hawaii from the rule which
prevails with reference to all other
states whose independence and integ-
rity we have declared to be our care,
they are forced to reject the Monroe
doctrine or to deny the ability of this
government to enforce it. Thus sup
port of annexation becomes a confess
sion of weakness and a denial of that
great principle in behalf Of which all
parties and all patriots in the United
States are absolutely united. There
could be no more complete exposure of
the hollowness of the pretenses and the
futillty Of the arguments of the an
nexatfonists. Believing in the Monroe
doctrine, their main contention falls to
the ground. They must abandon the
one or the other They have made
their choice. What will the American
people think of it?

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. Ex-senator
Hanna and the members of the legis-
lature went home today. All will re-
turn by Tuesday next. The leaders on
both sides are still here preparing for
another fight next week. The opposi-
ton to Hanna was defeated in his
election, but it proposes to fight now
against him, being seated for the long
term. His enemies say that they have
not the time to interfere on the short
term, but they will press the bribery
charges, as such charges were pressed
on Henry B. Payne, fourteen years
ago, to the United States senate. Sub
poenas have been issued for Senator
Hanna, Maj. Dick, w. D. Hollenbeck,
H. H. Boyce and others to appear be-
fore the senate committee next Tues
day night.
Libel suits have been brought
against several Republican papers for
damages in connection with the bribery
charges, notably one by G. 7. Camp

Among the managers for Senator
remain until the investigation is COM
pleted is Hon. E. G. Rathbone, who

in that business are raising the cry
against others and that the investiga-
ton will show who is guilty and who
is being prosecuted as we'll as SLAM

M'KENNA NOMINATION.
No Votes in Committee Against n
Favorable Report.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 13.-The nomination
of Attorney General McKenna to be justice
of the supreme court was reported to the SEN
ate today and Senator Hoar sought to have
it acted upon. Objection was made how
ever and it went over. The meeting Of the
committee was comparatively brief, and was
devoted to reading the newspaper attacks and
letters bearing upon Mr.. McKennas nomina-
ton. and to a discussion of their merits by
the members of the committee. This discus
sion was very generally participated in one
or two of the members expressing regret that
the presidents choice for the office Of justice
should be made subject to the charge of In
competency. When, however. the vote was
taken on a motion to favorably report the
nomination to the senate no negative ballot
cast.
The objection made to the present con-
slderatton Of Mr.. McKenna's nomination car
ries it over for only day. but it is not yet
decided whether the attempt to secure con-
frmation will be made tomorrow The OBJ
lection made today came from the Democratic
side, and it is understood to have been die

sition to secure an investigation of Repre-
sentative OTIS charges of bribery by the Ohio
senate, and they have made the inquiry
whether. If the state senate forewards prop
erly formulated charges. they will receive
the attention of the senate of the United
States. The matter has not been presented

THEIR PALPABLE CONTRADICTION

We observe t:IGt the advocates of the
annexation of Hawaii are led, by the
eXigencies of their position, into the
palpable contradiction of their own
them who would not, if asked, declare
his unfaltering allegiance to the Mon
roe doctrine. and his belief that the
United States should and can assert it
against the world There is not a man
of them who does not fall back. when
pressed for & reason why we should
annex the Sandwich islands, upon
the assumption that the maintenance
of the Monroe doctrine is beyond our
power. Thus the whole tenor of that
portion of Senator Davis speech which
deals with this subject is that as the
Minneapolis Tribune expressed it, "the
time has come when we must either
take possession or permit the Ha-
Waiian government to seek some other
alliance" That glimmering rushlight
terview by saying: eff we reject them
now we will have neither a right nor
an opportunity to continue our policy
of non-interference"
In view of the recent assertions that
we have made of the validity of the
Monroe doctrine and the acuuiescence
IN 1t, voluntary or reluctant, of the
leading powers Of the world, these
statements reduce this to the category
of absurdities. 1t might just as we'll
have been argued, for example, thre.
years ago that the United States
should annex Venezuela That coun-
try is by no means as distant from the
southern extremity Of Florida as the
Hawaiian islands are from the western
most point of California We did not
have, in that case, the vantage ground
of an expressed intention to protect
territorial and political integrity, as
we have with Hawaii 1t has been
understood by all the world for forty
years or more that the United States
would not permit the Sandwich islands
to pass into the possession of any
other power in the world
With Venezuela, on the contrary. we
had no other relation than that laid
down In the Monroe doctrine, which, In
case Of a South American state, we
had not had occasion to assert definite
ly. Venezuela was assailed however
only indirectly by the British govern
ment. There was a direct and open in
tent on it's part to acquire by force
such a portion Of Venezuelan territory
as would reduce that state to a prac-
teal nonentity, and extend virtually
the power Of the English crown over
it's whole domain. The United States
then asserted the Monroe doctrine, and
sary to secure for all time to come the
independence Of Venezuela, and to
guarantee it against aggression from
without or treachery from within. It
is within the power of the Venezuelan
government at any time to pass an act
constituting itself a colony of any Eu-
ropean power, and ceding to it supreme
right of control. 1t would be just as
rational to argue that the United
States must annex Venezuela, and
must make it a state or territory of
the Union, In order to prevent its pass

The contrast between the condition of
