WHEN the personnel of the present
United States Grand Jury was announced,
there was some comment over the fact that
it was composed of such prominent men.
One paper spoke of it as "a within of Mar
shall Alcott, when, as a fact, the Mar
shall has nothing to do with that part of
the proceeding, which is entirely under
control of a commission. But even if it
were otherwise, it seems entirely out of
place to criticise any movement towards
improvement of the jury system.

on one of the numerous bars that make
the entrance to Little Egg Harbor Inlet a
source of menacing danger to mariners.
Captain Williams and his crew were safe

Egg Harbor station near by. The sloop's
position and the damage she had sustained
while being knocked about among the
shoals, made it plain that she would prove
total loss, and the work of stripping her
began the day she struck.

But there are some who argue that the
possession of the Hawaiian islands would
be source of weakness to this country,
because it would have to maintain fortifi-
cations and garrisons and feet there to
protect them, and thus would have to di-
vide its forces, instead of concentrating
them all for continental defence. Yes. 1t
is pity, then, that we ever annexed Cali
fornia and Oregon, since that gave us two
coast lines to defend instead of one, and
compelled us to divide our forces, instead
of concentrating them all upon the Allan
tic Coast. Perhaps it would be we'll to re-
linquish the coast altogether and be con-
tent with an exclusively inland domain.
Then we would not have to maintain any
navy or any coast defences at all. In fact,
1t might be the part of wisdom to abandon
the whole country to some other power.
Then we should not have even to keep up
police force. But somehow or other
such reasoning does not greatly commend
itself to the average American mind. Per-
haps because we are a stiff-necked and
perverse generation.
Moreover, those who argue thus contra
dict their own words. They say the
islands should be left as they are. No
other power will dare to seize them while
we play the amiable part of dog in the
manger. Very we'll, then. If no pow er
will run the risk of offending us by seiz-
ing them while we merely exercise a pro-
tectorate over them, is it to be supposed
one would attempt to seize them when we
actually owned and occupied theml Is it
any easier for this country to defend the
islands now than it would be after annex
alton? If any power tried to seize them
now, and we sent feet to stop it, would
not that be a division of forces? And
would it not be more perilous one than
the other which is so strenuously objected
to- inasmuch as it would be sending part
of our forces not to distant part of our
own domain but to a foreign land !? If this
country is able to defend Hawaii from for
eign aggression under this nondescript
protectorate, it would certainly be able,
and far better able, to protect it under an
nexation. And if it is not able to protect
it now, what is the use of the protectorate
which these Observation-Disclosures are so
desperately anxious to maintain IN Y.
