HAWAII AND CUBA.

Dole, President of 'our great sister
Republic Of Hawaii, is being made
much of in Washington. The Sugar
Trust is looking after his comfort,
also, no doubt
The Sugar Trust desires the annex
alton of Hawaii. It's interest is as
plainly shown as the hand of Presi-
dent Mckinley, VINO has asked the
Senate of the United States to concur
in treaty making these islands an in
tegral part of the United States.
Friends of Mckinley say that he can
not we'll do otherwise, inasmuch as
the convention which nominated him
commanded practically that he should
undertake such annexation. The re-
ference in the ST. Louis platform to
these islands was incidental merely.
The Hawaiian subject-matter was
grouped with other matters. 1t did
not form whole plank in the plat
form. 1t was said that the Hawaiian
Islands should be controlled by the
United States and no foreign power
shoLld be permitted to interfere with
it. This was said in the same para
graph with the statement that the Nj
caraguan canal should be built, owned
and operated by the United States, and
that the purchase of the Danish islands
in, ha Ind chn,r1I ha oft or
to engage the attention of the nation.
1t may be pleaded however, that this
instruction was imperative upon Nc
Kinley. Becoming President, it is his
duty as far as it lies in the executive
Office to secure control for the United
States of the Hawaiian group.
But while the convention thus dis
missed the matter of Hawaii it devoted
a complete paragraph to Cuba. 1t as
serted that the government of the Uni
ted States should actively use it's inf1u-
ence and good offices to restore peace
and to give independence to the island
If the platform as to Hawaii is bind
ing UPON hC1AlHlSy 10 uOt dlSO It's uG-
mand for Cuban independence? But
President Mckinley, although he has
sent Congressional aims and under
strong pressure finally warship, has
not moved at all to secure independ
ence for Cuba. He has but tamely
taken up the policy which had been
pursued with reference to Cuba by Mr.
Cleveland, policy unhesitatingly con-
demned by the Republican party.
But the Sugar Trust is not interest
ing itself in the independence of the
queen Of the Antilles whereas it is &C
lively at work for the annexation of
Hawaii. That fact perhaps accounts
for the difference in the zeal with
which the President approaches either
matter.

There was only one person VINO lefr

the same man who entered protest

answering the protest, overruled every

fed with the result, but there were
few dissatisfied ones who would not
attend the meeting because they were
in the minority, and who, l suppose,
will keep on kicking until they are
kicked out of the order.
There have been other articles
printed by State papers that We're

THE ISSUE FOR 1900 MADE.

The speech of President Mckinley
at the $4,000 dinner Of the National
Manufacturers Association at the pala-
tial Waldorf Astoria, in New York, at
which he spoke to men who represent
ed more than nine thousands Of mil
lions of dollars of American wealth,
has not only echoed around the world,
and given new strength to the British
bond and stock market, as was report
ed the morning after in a cable from
London, it Las not only been glad
tldings and good cheer for those
few who own the worlds gold
and regulate the price Of money at
will, but it has acted as bombshell
in McKinley's own country. 1t has
split party lines everywhere-from
ocean to ocean and from lakes to
gulf.
Because Mckinley has an honest
personality, even people, who recog-
nized his innate weakness and knew
of his obligations to the speculative
millionaire politicians, who had res
cued him from bankruptcy, believed,
or at least had hope, that he would
not stultify himself, would not put
his record and his well known and oft
repeated convictions and his regard
for the welfare of his country and his
people behind him. They had hope
that he would remain, as he always
had been, prior to the time of his fall
ing under the control Of Hanna, the
firm friend of the gold and silver mon
ey of the Constitution, and an ardent
advocate of its restoration.
But these were deceived. Now they
are undeceived,
There has been a sudden, startling
and great awakening among Ameri-
cans, who trusted in McKinleys adj
herence to his time horored silver rec
ord.
Party lines have been broken. The
split has been in the Republican party
and among those who had been de-
ceived by platform promises in regard
to bimetallism and by the Presidents
ostentious friendship for at least inter-
national bimetallism.
The scales have suddenly fallen from
their eyes.
They see the President, erstwhile the
ardent advocate of the honest money
Of the Constitution, prostrating him
self before the shrine Of the SINGLE
BRITISH GOLD STANDARD, which
has been the curse of this country for
the last quarter century Of its exist
ence.
The revolt started in 1896 in the
Presidents party against British mon
ey rule of this country, has broken
out afresh and is receiving recruits by
wholesale. 1t began the morning af-
ter the Presidents declaration for the
British standard; its first manifestation
in public was in the United States
Senate. The Teller concurrent reso-
luton, which. heretofore had met
with opposition among the friends of
the President in the Senate, after they
had read of his abiect surrender to
the British standard the night before
in New York, was passed by an a.
most overwhelming majority.
The resolution is a practical reaf-
firmation of that of Stanley Matthews,
in 1873, and is as follows:
THAT all the bonds of the United
States, issued or authorized to be is
