THE CLEAR DUTY OF THE MA
TION.

1t makes the heart of the honest
clear seeing American stir with wrath
to read Of the feeble and neuralgia pro-
tests coming up from the French press
against the conduct of the war! with
Spain. Let Americans recall history
When we were engaged in an unequal
contest with ourselves, unequal because
right was upon but one side, France,
which has not changed one iota in the
individualism of its people since then,
seized upon the time when internal dis
sensien was rending US, to promote a
scheme to- absorb Mexico, our neighbor
and friend.
That happened within the life time
of men yet in their prime and the ma
turity of ripened years. If Mexico had
been left to herself, if we had withheld
the national heart of America from
manifesting it's concern in that out
rageous attempt to rob the Mexican
people of their birthright, our sister re-
public would to-day be a dependency of
France, and its 100000 people would
be drawers Of water for the cunning
Frenchmen and French commercialism.
But it was not written into the fore
cast Of destiny that this should be.
America was created that she might in
the fullness of Gods own time spring
to the rescue of Mexico, just as to-day
she is rising in her humane wrath to
save Cuba from the fangs that tear, but
hoy To- &c lnf
to herself, and her outstretched arms
are turned back upon her; if we fail
to rise to the purpose for which the
American nation was born into the en-
pire of humanity, civilization and free
dom, she will become the dependency Of
a foreign crown and the server at a
princely board, to gather the crumbs
that a robber nation may permit to fall
to her menial task.
The racial question has nothing to do
with the matter. The feeble souls who
fear that Hawaiian blood in admixture
with our own will debase and endanger
US, are poor readers Of history and
weaker advocates Of a miserable policy
Of seclusion and construction.
It.insults our capacity to say that we
need have fear of contamination from
the handful of native Hawaiians, who
in another generation will be SO few as
to be able to pose as chronological curl
ositfes. Intelligence and strength must,
and are now debating the terms of gov
ernment for weakness and incapacity.
The better minds in Hawaii are pro-
foundly conscious of that truth, and.
hence. the appeal of the island group
to-day that it shall be gathered beneath
the sheltering wing appointed by the
unseen Irresistible power that makes
and keeps us a nation, for the better
ment of the races of men, whose cause,
in the fullness Of time, we may justly
espouse.
The record-union., 1898-06-09

when she was bound upon a warlike er-
rand against Spain. By that action
Hawaii cut herself off from all friendly
consideration by the European State,
and invited it to assail her.
Had Hawaii refused to coal the
Charleston and the transports. just be-
hind her, where would we have landed
in the matter of sending reinforcements
to Dewey? Is the island group of no
value to us as half way house across
the great blue to the west? Can we
expect her with no closer relation to
forever befriend us as she has done
now, and forever take the punishment
on our account?
The annexation of Hawaii will be
forced by exigencies over which no man
has any control. 1t will be the decree
of destiny. It will be in conformity
with the trend of history which can
not be detected. We purchased Flor
ida and the Louisiana territory, but we
would have acquired them long since
had France and Spain refused to sell
them. We acquired Texas and the Pa
cific territory as the inherent judgment
Of irresistible historic force. We drove
France out of Mexico to await its ulti-
mate absorption by a civilization, the
storm center of which resides in the
United States.
We will acquire Hawaii because the
trend Of necessity and the destiny of
the race demand it. We will absorb it
because all history proves to us that
such betterments as Hawaii is entitled
to be blessed with are to be showered
upon her in no other way. The event
Of the visit of the Charleston to Homo
lulu constitutes another chapter in the
inevitable.

TAKING NOTES AMONG US.

Every nation in Europe of any spe
the Cuban trouble sent military repre-
sentatives to this country to take cb-
servations. Most of these trained men
have applied for and been granted
leave to accompany our fleets and ar
mics. Prior to that they have been
looking about them.
Several have now frankly said that
the thing which has most impressed
them while in the United States is the
splendid manifestations on the part of
the volunteers. These Europeans have
not been accustomed to see such
quick and wave-like response to 4 call
for volunteer soldiers. They do not
conceal the fact that the action of our
citizen soldiery in rushing to arms and
the field voluntarily, and on the instant
Of suggestion, amazes them. There is
nothing like it in their military note
books 1t fills them with pride, how
ever, for the manliness of the thing,
and they are very free in saying so.
They will go back to Europe at the
close of the war with enlarged ideas
concerning the scheme and meaning
of government, and let us hope
that what they may see in action will
likewise impress them with a high
sense of the efficiency Of the American
volunteer soldier. The lessons these
men are studying will be of first value
to us in our future relations with the
powers Of the earth.

Battleships and Pensions.

According to Sir William White, the
British director of naval construction,
the largest vessel in the English navy
when Queen Victoria came to the
throne was a three-decked sailing
vessel, with displacement of about A.
SUI tons, and costing from $550,OOo to
$620,OOO. Now there are several bat
tleshfps in the British navy with dis
placement of more than $4,000 tons,
the average cost of which is $4,000, ,OOO
inclusive of armament and stores. In
the last IL years % battleships have
been built, the aggregate displacement
of which is 100000 tons. Cruisers of
the first class, 20; displacement, 25I 900
tons; cruisers of the second class, 10;
displacement, 100000 tons; cruisers of
the third class. 81; displacement, 49,
600 tons; torpedo boats, 29 displace-
ment, $4,000 tons; sloop gunboats, etc.,
TO. The cost of this fleet, exclusive of
armament, is ST., 100000. The bat
tleships cost about $115. 100000; first
class cruisers. $50, 5,OOO,OOO: second class
about SAT. 100000 and the third class
about $4,000, 900. This seems vast
amount Of money to expend in one arm
of war service, but the cost is small
compared to the amount the United
States has poured out in pensions in the
same period Of time. Less than one
half the money in the United States
has been distributed among the veter-
ans Of the late war in the last eleven
years would have given us a navy equal
to that Of Great Britain. While no one
regrets the pension money that reaches
the old soldiers, there is growing
opinion that some of the recent recruits
who We're born after the war was end
ed should be cut off.-Philadelphia In

NOT ABSURD, BUT CUNNING.

The Cleveland Leader" thinks Blanco
summate fool proclamations as he does,
and in publishing to the people Of Cuba
such blathering lies about Spanish suo-
cesses on our coasts, etc. Not at all.
Blanco is not absurd, nor ridiculous,
but an exceedingly shrewd and cum
ming man. He did not serve one term
in the Philippines and two in the West
Indies for nothing. He knows the peo-
pie with whom he has to deal, and pre-
cisely what sort Of nerve tonic they
need to keep them toed to the scratch.
And then there is not all Of boasting
in his statements. He has seasoned
Spanish regulars in considerable num-
Der, who make up a splendid fighting
machine, and will give any army we
send against such forces hard
struggle. That these men do not sue
ceed in capturing and suppressing the
elusive insurgent is easily accounted
for-the insurgent forces rarely meet
the Spanish regulars in battle. Their
circumstances require OF them an order
of fighting that cannot be met by sys-
tenn such as prevails in a regular army.
1t is to be met by it's kind only.
When Spanish and American arms do
meet, however, it will be in order Of
battle recognized in warfare by both
countries. No; Blanco is not a fool

mander. a shrewd politician, and an

Snised by any modern

TOO GOOD TO BE ANTICIPATED.

The Chicago News thinks that one
effect of the war will be the extinction
of yellow Journalism. That is too much
to hope for. If that would be the re-
suit of the war, it's cost, no matter how
great, would be cheap. The News"
proceeds upon the thought that the
habitual liar is always found out; that
he who constantly disregards the de-
cencies Of life, is certain to meet with
punishment at the hands of a discrim-
mating public:
So long as disregard for truth was
only incidental to the general assault
upon all decency yellow journalism
might flourish indefinitely. But the
war created a demand for news, for
facts, never before equaled. No such
audience ever stood before the press Of
any country. Yellow journalism appre-
ciated the overwhelming Importance of
this demand. Perforce it abandoned
the scandals and crimes, for which
there was no longer market. The one
decency which it must now assault in
order to keep before the news hungry
public was truth 1t began the whole
sale manufacture out Of hand, Of mon
strous lies, and thereby dug its own
grave.
1t is to be hoped that the News I"
forecast is sound. 1t undoubtedly is
true that the war season has tended
thus far to accelerate the movement Of
public confidence away from the yellow
press. Viciousness once dragged from
beneath the cloak of pretense of pub
lie spirit and cleanliness, is not likely
to again impose upon the public to the
extent it did before! But we must
doubt the total extinction Of yellow
journalism as a war result. 1t will
come about some day. 1t must do So
or else civilization will change from
a forward to a backward look. and that
is inconceivable.

A CHAPTER IN THE INEVITABLE.

The news Of the reception at Homo
lulu of the United States steamship
Charleston, bearing supplies to the gall
liant Dewey. is reported by latest ad-
vices to have been not only enthusias-
tic, but practically the people were a
unit in thought and manifestation of
welcome. and in expressions Of good
will toward the United States.
The occasion was made one of great
rejoicing, festivity and Thanksgiving, in
which not only the whites and half
castles united, but in which the Ha-
waiians of pure blood took equal en-
thusiastic part. Yet they tell us that
the Hawaiians are not for annexation.
The Charleston demonstration was, to
all intents and purposes, an annexa-
ton celebration. Hawaii, the smallest
Of nations, took upon herself the office
Of ally to the United States, and there
by became the foe Of Spain. She re-
coaled and revictualed the Charleston

The Government, trusting to appoint
ed agents, chartered a steamer for
transport of troops to the Philippines.
The press raised the question concern
ing the seaworthiness of the Centen-
nial, and an official inspection having
been repeated, the ship is condemned
as unfit for the purposes intended, and
the charter has been cancelled. 1t would
be very interesting now to learn how
it came about that a steamer con-
demned as unsafe was in the first
place accepted. Through what agen-
cy was the fraud upon the Government

what his little game is. Does he hire
the reporter to put that line in every
