He Was Young Man of Good Fam

Saco, December 14.-George X. Crellin,
the young man who on Friday will be
given hearing in the Saco municipal
court on a charge of numbering Ivory +.
Boothby, the North Saco farmer. comes
from respectable family. According to
reliable information obtained concerning
his origin, he was born 20 years ago on a
farm at Florence, Illinois. Ills father
was Robert Crellin, an industrious citi-
zen, whom i'll health caused to abandon
farming, and he moved his family to
Joliet, ILL.,, where he died of consumption
ten years ago. The family ut the time of
his death consisted of the widow. two
Sons and two daughters. The two daugh-
tiers have since been married, and one of
them lives at Joliet and the other at
Desplaines, Ills. The mother and a young
er son, IA years of age, still reside at
Joliet, she owning her home.
George r. Crellin ran away from homo
when he was 16 years of age, and tine
members of the family have heard from
him only infrequently. He has travelled
about the country great DEAL was at
one time employed on an oyster ''plung-
err in Baltimore, but most of his work
has been in numbering camps. Three
years ago he was lum bering in Manitoba.
The last time his mother received letter
from him was when he was in Portland.
last September, just after the North Saco
murder. In his letter he expressed the
intention of going to the Klondike.
Mrs. Crellin, his mother, has at times
served as nurse in the city where she
resides She is member of the Metho-
dist church. The family has always borne
an excellent reputation, George being the
only '.black sheep His rowing DISPOSE.
ton and his declination of their urgent
invitations to him to return home and
assist his mother, have been the occasion
of bitter disappointment to her and her
friends.
So far as is known, the membe RS of
his family have not lesn informt d of his
arrest on the charge of murder The
Montreal papers, mailed to him at North
Shapleigh, which were the means of trac-
ing out his whereabouts, were not sent
to him by relative as was first sup
posed, but by an acquaintance in Canada.

NO EXTRADITION TREATY WITH
MEXICO.

Washington. Decem Der 14.-Unless thu
unexpected happens the United States and
Mexico will be without an extraditioD
treaty on the 18th of next month, The
situation promises to be one of gravity
and the Mexican border is likely to be a
paradise for fugitives from justice and
criminals of every description until new
treaty can be agreed upon. Mexico de-
nounced the existing treaty because our
government refused to deliver up on ex-
tradition proceedings certain Mexicans
who had escaped across the line and were
accused by their own government of
various offenses of a criminal character,
but who, ii is asserted, were really

HARD TERMS.

The views of the United States En-
ecutive upon the terms of peace would
probably be given to the public about
July 31st or August LIST. There seems
to be a growing desire to maintain
the footing gained in the Philippines,
and many Senator'S are in favor of
such course, The fact that the
fourth expedition to Manila has been
pushed on, though there was ample
time to recall it from here, shows
that the Executive is decidedly desir-
Gus of having as large IA force there
as possible.
AS far as the different places pro-
posed to be permanently occupied by
the United States are concerned, it
would be of the greatest advantage to
them to fall under the dominion of
strong and progressive government.
To return to the dominion of Spain,
even i'm a modified form, will throw
them back politically and commerce.
ally into the dark ages. For Spain
is not a country that will improve.
The war is going to teach Spain no
lessons beyond that of 4pect for the
prowess of the United States. But it
will bring about no change in her
commercial or colonial policy. That
is 'ingrained in the Spanish character,
and not all the defeats and humilia-
tons which she has received from the
time when Drake and Raleigh "singed
the King of SPANS whiskers," to the
time when Dewey and Schley destroy
ed her two fleets, will ever teach
! Spain the lesson of how to conduct
commerce on liberal lines, or how to
manage colonies so that they shall be
source of strength rather than of
weakness, and their population should
feel as one man towards the mother
country
1t took England "A sharp lesson to
know how to manage colonies, but il
is lesson that was thoroughly learn
ed over hundred years ago, and the
knowledge so gained has enabled the
immense expansion during the reign
of Victoria.
For the sake of the inha oitants OF
the Spanish colonies, for the sake Of
the advancement of civilization, it is
better that the terms of peace bt
hard, for hard terms will be in the
true interests of humanity.

What particular advantage the So
cieties expect to gain by their pro-
test one cannot see. Annexation is an
accomplished fact, the Stars and
Stripes will go up never to come
down. The wisest thing that all
hands can do is to accept the newt
able and go to work developing the
country. There are to this day a
few irreconcilable women in the
South, and it looks as if such may be
the case in Hawaii. But see how the
prosperity of the South has increased
See how its leading men are COM
manding in the Union armies. The
irreconcilibles cannot stop the wheels
of progress here, any more than they
have been able to do so elsewhere.

THE FUTURE.

What the immediate government of
est to all. From the expressions of
the press the idea seems to be preva-
lent that we shall come in as a terri
tory. If so, that will give us a dele
gate at Washington who will have
power to speak on the floor of the
House upon any question concerning
power to mingle in any debate and
will have no vote.
There are others who have an idea
that the form of government used in
the District of Columbia will be adopt
ed, and for a time this might be the
best plan, but it is not form of
government which commends itself to
President Mckinley, and we may feel
assured that whatever the commits
sioners may do, their action will be
very strongly tinged with what Nc
Kinley thinks is best. y.
If we had been annexed to Great
Britain we should have gone through
a tutelage of this sort and the native
Hawaiian would have been treated as
a race entirely apart. He would have
had a commissioner entirely to him
self, but he would have little to say
in the management of his own affairs.
With the United States whatever the
American and European inhabitants
of the Islands obtain, the Hawaiians
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1898-08-08

will obtain rights precisely similar in
character.
OF course whatever the commission
ers decide upon will not necessarily
be the final decision; they will have
to report to Congress, where that will
be made. But there is this to be con-
sidered, and that is that the admins
tration is now immensely strong in
both houses; that there will be many
very important matters to settle when
Congress meets, and that it is more
than probable that what the admins
tration favors in so small matter as
Hawaii, win go without much debate.

The contention that because Spain
has made indefinite overtures for
peace, hostilities should cease, is ri
diculous. There is no canon of war
fare that allows it. Under such cir
cumstances the reward of victory
might be snatched from the conquer
err just as he was going to seize it..
Wellington was fighting in the PENN
sula during the time peace negotia-
tions were going on, and kept driving
the French before him through the
passes of the Pyrenees while the dip
lomatic negotiations were going on
between Napoleon and the Emperor
Alexander. Napoleon abdicated April
4th, but the treaty was not signed till
April 18th, and on April 10th Yelling
ton fought and won the battle of Tou-
louise. Peace negotiations have before
now been used to gain time in order
TO bring up forces or to strengthen
defences. Until some definite basis is
reached and the good faith of Spain is
assured hostlities will not cease.
