walton of coffee on the islands promises
great success and much better profit
than that Of cane, and believes that,
after annexation, within a few years we
shall be able to supply ourselves with
most of that commodity demanded by
our market from our own Pacific pos
sessions The activity of the British
and Sugar lobby is growing more appar-
ent as the hopes of its employers fade
away. Ordinarily. we should be afraid
OF IL; but ii is so thoroughly watched,
and every one of it's steps or movements
so carefully sifted, that probably its
teeth are pretty well pulled.
1t was rather a surprise TO the pub
lie to learn that Mr.. McKenna had not
been confirmed for the Associate JUS
ticeship of the Supreme Court. Ii was
supposed that the Pacific Coast pro-
tests against his appointment had been
disposed of, and that he would go
through without difficulty. AS it is,
the vote on his confirmation will not
be taken until next Friday. Probably
nothing would have prevented his sue
cess on yesterday, if his unhappy tel
egram of congratulation to Marcus A
Hanna had not been sprung upon the
executive session. When Mr. MclIen-
M wired to that parsonage: Every
thinS good in politics has triumphed
with you" it must be conceded by the
Attorney Generals warmest admirers
that it was a grave indiscretion for one
in his position before the Senate and
the country. We are not so much in
clined TO quarrel with the sentiment, as
many of his own party Will be. II is
fact that everything regarded as
good by Republican leaders has tri-
umphed with Mr. Hanna's election
To them corruption is as the breatl
OF life. and, where they happen e
be pious men, they pray daily and tear
fully that the people whom they seei
TO control for their benignant purpos
es may be given grace TO be Away
open to bribery or intimidation. Look
ing at the matter from the normal Re
publican point Of view, We do not Sc
much To ma fdulI Win IN the Mchen
ma message. 1t was no more than ev
cry partisan OF the Hanna stripe felt
and usually expressed. 1t is a truisnl
that Hanna and his methods; his Ma
poleonic disregard for the moral an,
ethical standards generally regarded
as correct in politics: and his bold re
sort to coercion, wholesale and retail
render him the typical and representa-
tive Republican. In him, indeed, eV
erything that seems good to the par
ty placed in power through the eNer
. else OF his talents and devices mus
be said to triumph. Ii will occur L
many thinking people that Mr.. Nc
Kenna must be almost as stanch ;
Republican as Mr.. Hanna.

the loss of his pile. Alfred Lewis and

under arrest by Capt. Yeatman, on the
information of Anna Baker, who wit
messed the holdup.
