per1allsm and vastly expensive mtlitarism
upon which the Republican national saecula-

the country.
IL costs comparatively pile Of money to
keep even one regiment anywhere, and this
is only the tiniest end Of the entering wedge

Hawaii squelched at last in the senate. One
OF them would have been edifying Senator
Spooner, OF Wisconsin, who has made a repu-
tation as one of the ab,est lawyers of the
senate, had intimated that he had q sneech
prepared against the constitutionality of the
measure, which might have been a worthy
comparison to the speeches Of Senators Morr.ll
and Hoar.-Boston Herald
The annexation of Hawaii Is a starter for
a policy Of government by commission One
part of the imperial programme will be to
gradually increase the power of the president
and correspondfngly weaken that of the Deo
pie. Another part Of it will be to try to make
people believe that the author of the Declara-

didn't know what he was doing.-To,edo B q

AS Senator Morrill, CT Vermont, put it.,
Hawaii Is of no more value to us in aiding
Dewey to retain possession of the Philippines
than the backside Of the mountaineering

So we may believe that after years will
convince even the present doubters that the
disasters they foresee are the creatures of
their own fears and that they will come to re-
joce with the rest of the American people in
Hawaii one Of the brightest stars in the

Commodore Watson has been given per-
emptory orders to proceed at the earliest
possible moment to attack SPAIN This
! movement has already been warmly COM
mended as the most promising means TO
bring the Hidalgoes to their senses. An en-
ergetic campaign against the Canaries Ceuta
and the coast of Spain cannot fail to pro-
duce good results in bringing the war to a
close-a contamination devoutly to be wished
and at the same time may be productive OF
other good results.
When the flag of the United States Is
hoisted en- the continents OF Europe and
Africa, as well as in Oceanica 1t is just pos

ried by this war. there they shall remain, -
may begin to be apparent even to the i'm
perialist jingoes. But If the United States
is to abandon,,e at one jump, Its principles
and traditions together. there should be no
mincing Of matters, 1t has Spain at its
mercy, and if the war. begun in the cause
of humanity. Is to be perverted into a war
of conquest, the nation should not neglect
to extend its imperias power and ''civilizing
influences" oyers all the territory OF Spain.
Who will be governor general Of Spain
Senator Morga1f,.s absence from this continent
