On Sunday morning large number
assembled in the Congregational church
to hear the farewell sermon of Rev. J
III. Dixon, who closes four years SER
vice for the society that outshines al
resultsin viroqua church work. A hand.
some new edifce remains to immor.
talize his name in the history of the
society, which, through his interchangeable
zeal and sincere purpose, has been in.
creased to sixty members. In his ser.
mon Mr.. Dixon reviewed the progress
made during his passionate, presenting
many items Of special interest in the
building up of the society to its present
creditable standing. During his resi-
dence among us he has ingratiated him
self into the hearts of our people in
bonds casped in ties of sympathy and
friendship, therefore his resignation has
been rendered and received with many
regrets by the people of our community.
However, in view of the possibility of re-
gaining health and strength by relin-
gushing his work for season, all feel
encouraged to offer him helping hand
by sacrificing his departure from us.
The family will depart for Beloit in the
near future, and will take with them
the esteem OF our entire community.

THE ANNEX NATION OF HAWAII

The House passed the joint resolu-
ton for the annexation of Hawaii by a
vote of 200 to 91-every republican bnt
three voting for it, as we'll as eighteen
of the democratic and populist opposi-
ton. This vote fairly represents the
overwhelming sentiment of the country
in favor Of the annexation of Hawaii,
and il the sentiment of the senate is not
equally strong it is because that body
has long since ceased to be in harmony
with the dominant sentiment Of the
American people on any of the great
ISSUES OF the day. But even in the sem
ate there is astrong majority for annexa-
ton in spite of the attempted dictation
OF democratic caucus, reinforced by
whatever emphasis could be to this
formulation of the party policy by the
recent declaration CT William J. Bryan
in opposition to any extension of the
sovereignty of the United States be-
yond it's continental limits. Having
thus adopted opposition to annexation
as an amendment to the Chicago plat
form, it is not unlikely that the minor
ity may carry out their threats to OBJ
struct the passage of the resolution by
di'atory tactics. But all the same be-
fore the session closes, the republican
policy will triumph and the United
States flag will float over the Hawaiian
group. The war has go clearly demon
strated the incalculable value of this
acquisition as a naval station and base
of supplies, that it is difficult to account
for the opposition to it on any grounds
consistent with a patriotic regard for
the interests of the nation. In the
possession of these islands we shall hold
much more than convenient naval
station. We shall hold the key to that
ascendsncy in the commerce of the
Pacific, to which we are entitled by our
commanding position as the dominant
commercial empire on its shores. Pho
