onies cannot be admitted to body polite, and their people cannot become our fellow citizens. In l the Philippines three millions of Chinese and seven millions of mongrel Asiatics, unfit for self government Their scoundrely leader Agunaldo sold himself once to Spain for $8ooooo and now de- sres to aid in setting him up as dictator of the Philippines.
 All of these island mongrels and bandits from the Philippines to the Canaries be held in subjec- tion under military domination, if this is war of conquest as the shipping of these great armies of occupation would indicate The increase in our mil tary and naval strength necessary to hold them aganst their own will and against the world will null tlpy the cost ot our Federal Government by three These countries are all Catholic and have been guarded by Spain against religious interference by other sects As our colonies the Protestant mis- sionary will follow the army. Parson and priest will compete for the sou-saving monopoly under the stars and stripes. This will supply spark and finder for constant confagration and interference by the state with the church
 It IS said now that in addition to these colonies we must demand indemnity of $500 ooo whether history can commend us for beginning an aitruistc and humane war and taking the out of another people is for history to settle
 A strong party IS rising in favor of conquest and colonization and indemnity
 But there runs through the country the whisper of still, small voice May be it Is the expression of the. American conscience, which declares that the United States cannot be so greatened by conquest nor oy imperial colonies, by saying at the end as we said Tn the beginning that we made war for hu- manity, Tn a spirit of sef-sacriice and when it is over beyond the cesson of some coaling stations we will pay the bill and come home

A NEEDED SUPERVISION.

D the adoption of resolution requesting our h delegation at Washington to urge Congress to AO enact such laws as will give the proper United States officers full control of all sailing vessels carry ing passengers of ports, the Chamber of Com has aligned itself the side of much needed reform in maritime regulations.
 The object of the proposed Federal supervision is to protect voyagers n sailing vessels against the danger of being betrayed into embarking upon craft so unseaworthy as to be but little more than death traps It appears that at the present time there is no law, either State or National designed to provide such protection. Any kind of an old hulk can be patched and painted up so to deceive the unwary and sent out upon the to the imminent danger of all on board but with utter impunity to the men whose interruptions greed is responsible for the fraud.
 We have had many fearful illustrations of the ur- gent need of supervision all sailing vessels that leave ports The Chamber of Commerce i'll their resolutions name two of them of recent currence: The wrecks of the Helen w. Amy and the Jane Gray More. might have been added to the list, but these two are enough. It should not re- quire multitude of such dreadful and unnecessary disasters convince Congress of the imperative need ot legislation to guard against them.
 While the cause in which the Chamber of Com has directed the attention of our Representa- tves and Senators in Congress is good one it will not be easily To bring about in Great Britain supervision similar to that asked for from our Gov ernment required the most tireless and unhagging work of of the most earnest and noted reormers of our time MT. Pmsoll. We are not likely to find in Congress man to do the work which he did in Parliament, for he devoted himself to that object solely, regardless of all other political affairs As we not to have such zeaIot to make the fight at Washington, must make up for the lack by greater zeal among the people. Every associa- ton, and, indeed every individual, who aids the cam paign of education on the subject will be hailed as welcome ally. The Chamber of Commerce having engaged in the movement should now maintain if with unceasing energy. Worthless hulks and painted death traps should longer be permitted to sail out o an American port to carry crews and pas senpcrs to ocean graves

l ~ SHORT time ago the directors of the Oakland | / \ Board of Trade, being moved thereto by
 causes unknown, took 1t upon themselves tc urge Congress to annex the Hawaiian Islands Not content with simple resolution in favor of annexa- ton the nconsderae directors undertook to furnish an argument tor 1t. The result bunder, dis playing such ignorance as will convince Congress that what the Oakland Board of Trade does not know about commercial routes would fill book Our readers will learn with surprise that the Oak land men actually urged annexation on the ground that the islands needed as coaing station. be- cause ot their proximity to the nearest route to the Fhlllppnes Lest We may be suspected of misrep- resentat1on we quote the language of the resolution on that point. It runs thus:
 Through its central location, North and South Hawaii lies on the most direct and safest route of travel between our shores and other countries of the East, the distance between Manila and San Fran cisco via Honolulu being approximately 1000 miles shorter than by Unaaska, the only other obtainabe coang station, which lies away to the north and out Of direct lines of travel"
 The directors, having thus made themselves con spicuous before Congress as advoca,es of annexa tlon have doubtless felt enough interest in the sub Ject to read the debates it. If so the speech of Congressman Grosvenor, reported yesterday rnust have awakened in them what are known as conflict ing emotions Grosvenor is the foremost chanpion ot annexation in the House, and his speech in some respects must have been pleasing to them It must have been with pain however they read that portion ot his argument in which he not only conceded that 'Unalaska on the Aleutians, now an American pos session. Is Boo miles shorter than the Honolulu roe but quoted Commodore Melville to confirm inc fact
 Mr. Grosvenor's argument quite different from that Of the directors of the Oakland Board of Trade Perhaps the whole it was not more valid. but that IS another question The point at issue is that cer tain men, posing as the representatives of the trade and commerce of Oakland have sent to Congress a set of resolutions which show a complete ignorance of the routes of commerce across the Pacific. The effect of the resolution will be to discred Califor nian commercial bodies in the eyes of Eastern men It will be said that if boards of trade do not know the comparative merits of various routes for steanoer across the North Pacific into which our port, onen and along which much of our foreign. trade is carried, hardly capable of talking integently of commerce much less of carrying it or
 The next time the directors of the Oakland hoard undertake to instruct Congress they should first learn the facts of the subject they propose to deal with They will then not have to submit to the mor thcation of having their arguments refuted in Con- gress by the very they were fondly designed to help.

 Congress, and the message of the President, put the with Spain humanitarian grounds en- tirey. In no sentence phrase is there sug- geson of territorial aggrandizement, annexation or abandonment of the Monroe doctrine and our tradi- tonal policy.
 It is true that Morgan of Alabama, Money of Mis- sissppi, Foraker and few others for motives per sonal or political, have made a show of hands in favor of conquest and colonization. But the matter has not been discussed broadly or put before the country. That we strip Spain of all her external possessions is fact. But we can keep them only by the strong hand with which we take them We must immediately prepare to support standing army o not less than 100000 men and navy equal to the united fleets of Continental Europe These colonies which we wrest from the feeble hand of Spain have in the aggregate nearly 2ooooooo of people, who are alien to us in blood and language They cannot as- simulate with Their location is tropical and our race cannc. c.ssiss in the tropics These col

THE AUSTRALIAN SENATE.

nUBLIC dissatisfaction with the present method D of selecting Senators in the United States as disclosed by the recent overwhelming vote in the House of Representatives in favor of their cleo
 ton by direct vote of the people renders interesting the plan proposed for that purpose in the consttu- ton recently drawn up for the federation of the Aus tralian colonies The plan moreover Is worthy of no
 little study and consideration as the latest expression of Ango-Saxon sentiment on the subject of the com position of an upper legislative chamber
 While united Australia, like our own union. is to be made up of several States and the Senators are to be chosen like ours to represent those States they not to be elected by the State Paraments or Legsla lures, but by the people Each original State in the commonwealth IS to have six Senators, and new States are to have such number as Parliament grants at the time of their admission Senators are to hold office for six years and they are to be divided into two classes three from each State will be elected every third year.
 Each elector is to be allowed to vote for but one Senator so that minorities will have chance to ob- tain representation in the Senate whenever they con- tro sufrages enough to poll vote sufficient to make their candidate third the list when the ballots are counted Thus the Australian system not only pro- vides for election by direct vote of the people, but gives minority representation as we'll and therefore differs from our method in two important particulars

HOBSON'S CHOICE.

C ECRETARY LONG has formally and substan- \ tialy recognized and honored the gallantry of - the men who, under command of Naval Con- structor Hobson sunk the Merrimac in the mouth oi the harbor at Santiago. No action however, has been taken with respect to Hobson himself, for the assigned that the department has yet had opportunity of communicating with him to learn what he desires
 Under ordinary circumstances government would not have to ask officer who had distinguished himself for eminent service in battle what form of honor he would accept Dewey not asked whether he would like promotion the rank of rear admiral Nor any of his captains asked whether they would like advancement the roll of those who to be promoted next The difference in HObsons is due to the peculiar system of the naval service Hobson is not line officer. He is not naval fighter but naval constructor There fore he IS not in line of promotion He cannot be advanced until he has been consulted and it has been found out where he wishes to go.
 The question moreover may not be an easy one for the hero himself to determine The "Hobson's choice of the old proverb was no choice at all and therefore not a matter for consideration or debate The new Hobson's choice however, is going to be quite perpexing affair, if Congress does not enact the navy personnel bill before he is called upon to make it.
 
 set with drawbacks. He can accept promotion in his present line of work to the position of naval con structor but to do would be to set back his com rades Tn the service for in corps where the num- berS are so few and promotion so slow the advance ment Of one out of turn pushes others down the list and works serious hardship for them Moreover the construction corps does offer very brilliant future for the hero if he acceprs promotion in 1t at the expense of his comrades
 The other open to him is to leave the staff and become line officer. This would mean the abandonment of the department of work which he has chosen and for which he is so well fitted Ii would also be surrender in some respects of the claims for which the staff has been fighting for wears Hobson is now in position where he can compel public attention to the evil and unfairness of the ex isting system Of officering the navy When it is seen that brave and gallant officer who has rendered an important and daring service to his country can not be suitably promoted rewarded without re- quirng him to leave the work for which he is best suited and undertake some other, it will be every where admitted it is time for change
 Hobson, being confined in Moro at the mouth of Santiago Bay, and retired from wars alarms has am pie time to mediate upon the choice before him Meantime Congress should not waste time in medi- tation. The enactment of the navy personnel bill will determine Hobsons choice simply and satisfac torily. There should be no longer any discrimina- ton against the engineer branch of the naval service Hobson IS as good fighter as any man in the line not excepting Fighting Bob Evans, and deserves as good chance to command ship or fleet
