have striven successfully to impress the \AI American public with correct idea of the
 Hawaiian oligarchy which Is proposing to sell that country the United States for $4,ooo,ooo to pay Doles debts and about $S,ooo,ooo year pro tection bounty raw sugar It has suited the an- nexaoniss in this country to deny these facts. No body is dsenfranchsed in Hawaii they have insisted Senator Morgan, when confronted with state ment of the stuation cut the question by ap proving the suppression of the native vote While in Hawaii at the expense of the oligarchy, which omitted no hospitality, he told the natives that after annexation they would be treated just like our Southern negroesl After all this mixture of adrnis- sion and denial of Our statements the truth last confessed by member of the Dole Cabinet The Chief Ogarch is away and the dissensions among the members of his government are taking shape
 Finance Minister Damon, in public speech to the members of the Government has said:
 This question of the voting population being in the minority cannot go on forever. If we are republic we want to have common country and common ground to work upon, and to say that part of this community is to be kept outside the pale seems to me great mistake"
 This is very broad and very valuable It admits government by the minority, as we have claimed It questions the existence of republic at all-"If we are republic'-and no colleague of Minister Damon attempted 10 llt the lputatlOn and Its shadow off the olgarchy.
 In the light of this official confession the proposi- ton of Senator Bacon to submit to vote of the whole Hawaiian people the question of annexation gains irresistible force
 Senator Morgan IS struggling to divert public at tention to some indecencies in which he ndulges toward MT. Cleveland But Americans are not to be diverted in that way.
 When territory is to be admitted into this Union the people make and offer to Congress a consttu- ton and they vote upon the question of admission ln one instance Congress so changed constitution that the people voted to enter the Union refused admission by large majority and there was no power in the Federal Government to override their will. Congress compelled to concede the point and then the people voted to the Union and the State admitted.
 Are we to violate all constitutional provisions and repudiate all governmental precedents just be- cause Dole pays visit get his $4 100000 of debts paid and the planters want 900 year out of us
 Are we to let oligarchy which is not even elected by the minority of voters admitted by Minister Damon to exist, sell out country under pretense that it represents the people and is republican in form, while Damon cries out 'IF we are a repub- cp

THERE is brand of journalism which is afraid
 to express an opinion until it has carefully
 weighed the result in coin. One symptom of it is the habit of polling It does not care for the right or wrong of any matter, but 1t does how the position it may take will strike the pocket Its brains are in its pocket and had conscience this would be there too
 The latest instance of this locally is in connection with the fight of Los Angeles to free itself from the grip of the water company. The papers of that city had been reduced to state of submission. Three of them did the bidding of the company nor asked any question unless perhaps as to the feasibility of advancing the price of editorial support It was ne cessary that paper subject local influence should take up the fight of the people. This The Call did freely, not stopping to inquire what the conse- quence would be to itself Meanwhile yellow jour- nalsm held in abeyance such influence as it might possess and began feel its way It resorted to the poll"
 There is only construction to be placed on this course when 1t is considered that the sheet taking it is the Examiner. It wants to find whether it can afford to espouse the of the people at the risk ot offending the water company, whether its profit able method will be to get on the payroll of the com pany and let the people go. On the from it's poll will rest the conclusion. There is never a pos sibity of its doing anything from a conviction that to do 1t would be right It is not subject to this va rety of conviction. sheet which lacks the courage to speak its little mind about proposed monkey ranch until it has taken one of its justly celebrated polls cannot be expected to deal with subject so wide and far-reachng the Los Angeles water problem without having first got the of every actual or possible subscriber concerned.
 It follows of course, that there is importance to be attached to the way the yellow toad may hop. It can indorse the water company, and the reason for doing so will be plain that will be deceived It can indorse the people but the subject has already been exploited that this unfortunate backing will not weaken the peoples case.
 But there is really very little difference what may do The controversy will be settled without its aid The point at issue IS this mania for polling Yellow journalists will be afraid to announce flood without taking poll of the citizens washed out h. deed the polling habit is only less virulen than the affidavit habit, which impels the liar swear to his lies, but no less ferventy to his accidental truths

A BUGABOO WAR SCARE.

H ESPITE the shudders and shrieks of yellow J journalists trying to get up war scare over
 the dispatch of the Maine to Havana it is notable that the business interests of the country are not in the least concerned and even Wall street. so prone to excitement every passing cloud has not had furry in any of its numerous pits and pools
 The incident shows in what contempt sensational journalism is held throughout the country in all in teligent circles For weeks the yellow papers have been screaming of coming war in type so big that circus posters look mild in comparison For weeks they have been publishing interviews with the Gov ernor of Cuba, the Prime Minister of Spain and host of other Spanish dgnitaries all breathing war against the United States, and yet the public goes right along paying more attention to the lurid news and the clamors of war than they would to the gbbering of many idiots shouting passers from the barred windows of a safe asylum.
 Incidents of this kind are encouraging We hear much of the influence of decadent journalism and of the pernicous effects of the yellow monstrostes there is at times feeling of anxiety lest the whole character of public opinion should be tainted by the vicious depravities that emanate from such sources When note, however, the indifference of the in telligent portion of the community to such efforts of yellow journalism this war scare. we are freed from all such fears Decadent journalism is evi- dently of the pestences that affect only those who by taint of blood predsposed to receive them
 The bugaboo war passes as harmlessly over the minds of the great bulk of the American people as some noxous vapor from a sewer passes off from our hills, blown away by the strong, pure breezes of the ocean. The country has confidence in the ab- ity of the administration at Washington to guard every American interest in Cuba and to effectualv aid in restoring to that unhappy island without engaging in needless war with Spain
 Yellow journalism must turn to some other source for an international sensation. Probably it might find one by getting interview with Kaiser Will liam. One Of our pictorial magazines is now running vivid story of German invasion of the United States and 1t would take but little exercise of yellow enterprise to transform magazine fiction into news paper realism that would serve, for day at least to stir the pulses of the sluns

ECONOMY IN NEVADA.

HETHER regarded as an industry pastime lAI or a method of practicing law, lynching in Nevada is to continue for some time longer unhampered by legal interference and unfretted by public criticism. This is the only conclusion de ducibe from the refusal of the Douglass Grand Jury indict the ynchers in the Uber at Carson for it seems there was no lack of evidence against the lynchers but most plentiful lack of desire to prose them.
 It Is most fortunate in every respect that along with the of the refusal of the Grand Jury to in dict there explanation of the cause of the refusal Had nothing been made public but the bare report of the action of the jury, Eastern opinion would have at declared the case to be another evidence of the wild and woolly awlessness of the West; while in the West itself there would have been many suggestions of stuff and dough" and Colonel Mazuma" that the unintated would have supposed the colonel keeps bakery at Carson and the Grand Jury had taken his cake
 The explanation which so opportuney came along with the news the West and the people of Ne vada from all injurious suspicious either on this coast beyond the Rockies. It makes known the fact that the lynchers were permitted to go free simply to expense. It would have cost the county good deal of money to have prosecuted the guilty parties, and bonanza days being over in the sagebrush State there is no longer any money to burn either in court of it. On that score the ynchers released by the thrifty members of the Grand Jury doubtless in the hope that having been thus given rope enough they would eventually hang themselves or one another without expense to the county.
 Thrift is the mother of all virtues It is pleasing to observe the cultivation of it among the people of Nevada where 1t has long been neglected When they have well learned how to money they may proceed to higher lessons of economy and learn how to save lives and protect person as well as property Then they will know that thrift walks hand in hand with law, and that money expended in the perform ance of justice is neither wasted nor lost
 In the meantime it is gratifying that the case when fully examined makes a much better showing for the people ot Nevada than appears on the surface An effort really in the part of the officers of the law was made to bring the lynchers to justice The Prosecuting Attorney did his work with zeal and seems to have submitted to the jury abundant evil dence to prove the of the State against the ac cused- considerable number of the Grand Turv also were ready and willing to act Justice failed simply because number of thrifty citizens whose de- Votlon to economy would have made them excellent Supervisors were by freak of fortune turned from that office and landed in the Grand Jury
