mingo. Every argument now put forth
to justify the annexation of Hawaii
was used at that time with reference
to the West Indian island named. We
were told that it was ga key" that
the security Of our southern coasts and
all the immense traffic between our
ports and those Of Mexico and Central
America, together with the possible
business of an interoceanic canal,
would be utterly defenseless unless the
United States possessed this property.
We were told, also, that we must act
at once, or some European power
would instantly grab the country and
deprive us Of our last chance of OBJ
tanning it, The years have passed, and
not one Of these predictions has been
verified, although each one Of them
was thousandfold more reasonable
and probable in those premises than
when applied to Hawaii.
The only other presidents left are
Harrison, who planned the steal be-
gun by the assistance Of the United
States forces, and Mckinley, who con-
dones and approves it. It is not an
exceedingly formidable list of author
tiles that these gentlemen are able to
compile. We think that. upon scanning
it again, they will admit their serious
blunder in not including the name of
Grover Cleveland as an advocate Of
annexation on the authority of Senator
Morgan. Such an addition would be
no sillier or more open to the charge
of false pretenses than half Of those
that they used.

NO CURRENCY ACTION.
Session of the House Banking Com
mittee Very Brief.

WASHINGTON, Jan 26.-The house
committee on banking and currency
met today but after brief session did
not take action towards reporting any
currency bill. Considerable interest
attached to the meeting in view of the
recent extended hearing and of the
present monetary meetings at Indian
apolis. At the outset, Mr.. Johnson
Qnd), who is regarded as favorable to
the monetary commission bill, secured
the adoption of a resolution for a state
ment from each member as to his posi-
ion of the currency Mr.. Brosius, of
upon, and he stated that he was not
ready to define his views on so broad a
proposition. AS the inquiry promised
to lead to some differences, Mr.. John
son withdrew the motion, with a view
to having the Republican members
canvass the subject among themselves
later. In behalf of the minority Mr.
Cox (Tenn), moved that the official
proceedings embrace the application
for hearing of President Warner, Of
the bimetallic union, and Chairman
Towne, of the silver Republican COM
mittee and the refusal of the COM
mittee to hear them. The motion was
defeated by a party vote. with the eX-
ception Of Chairman Walker, who
voted with the minority. The COM
mittee then adjourned until next
Wednesday and the Republican mem
bers went into secret session, with
view of reaching some common under
standing if possible.

NOTE OF DISCORD.
New York Merchants Object to the
Commission Plan.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 26.-The
Merchants association, of New York,
representing thousands of business
houses and millions Of invested capital,
through it's representatives sent to the
monetary convention has announced
that the bill Incorporating the plan Of
the commission will be fought in con-
gress in it's present form and that
changes must be made The represen-
tatives, Alvah Trowbridge, vice presi-
dent of the National Bank of North
America; ]. S. M. Creepy, Richard
Cross of Morton, Bliss & Co.; U. u.
Eddy, of Flint, Eddy & Co., and James
B. Dill, counsel for the association,
came here prepared to protest on the
floor of the convention and offer
amendments. Leaders of the move
ment argued to them the Importance
of united front to secure some action
from congress towards currency re-
form and they contented themselves
with filing their proposed changes with
the convention which railroaded them
to the resolutions committee unread,
and they died there. The representa-
tives are anxious for currency reform
and so agreed not to make their fight
at the present stage.

land" And the results? Two Re-
publican senators from New Jersey;
two from Ohio, where for years but
one ever sat with other than a DEM

ator from New York, displacing one

1890 merely to down Cleveland" And

tistics both separately and in consoli-
dated form. the idea may as well be
abandoned" It follows this with the
customary announcement that Mime
apolis is so superior in all lines which
would be represented that it could do
it no possible good, and might do 1t
much harm, to publish the combined
statistics of the two cities. If the work
is to consist Of putting out a pamphlet
to show that Minneapolis has the
larger population and milling interest,
it is quite willing that st. Paul should
insist on that line Of advertising. APP
parently, it is not assimilating in the
least the idea that there is a common
business center here, which can make
more powerful and favorable impress
sion upon outside opinion by marshall
ing and combining all resources than
any portion of it can acting by itself.
It remains to be seen whether this Is
the Minneapolis idea or only the Min
neapolis Tribune's idea of concerted &C
ton.
The public can rest assured that
any movement looking toward genuine
harmony Of action between the two
cities will meet with a cordial and
sympathetic reception in st. Paul.
If the union of st. Paul and Mime
apolis is ever to come about, a fact
which. in any event. must lie some dis
lance in the future, the preparatory
work will lie along the lines Of allied
labor in the development Of CONNER
cial and general business interests.
Commerce is the great unifier. It
draws larger and smaller communities.
cities, states and nations to one an
other, and overruns the globe in its elm
ination Of differences and it's estab-
lishment of points Of similarity and
identity. There could be no better be-
ginning for concord in the Northwest,
and a campaign for progress by the
united forces Of these two cities than
the suggested publication of joint sta
tistics. Out of this each city would get
practically all the material benefits, as
far as the country is concerned, that
would accrue from actual political con-
solidation. Whatever Greater New
York has gained by the more imposing
array of its totals the Twin Cities
would gain by such combination
1t does not need even to be stated
that, if the figures are to be used sepa-
rately, as well as CONFORMITY, they
would not be worth the labor and cost
of compilation. Such statistics are al
ready put out by each city for itself,
and are available to any one who wish
es them. To impress the country with
the existence and weight of the popu-
lation gathered about the head Of navi-
cation on the Mississippi including
these two cities, would be we'll worth
while, and this means the use of Joint
statistics and nothing else. Such a
project would, we believe, be approved
by the people Of st. Paul If the Trib
une notion should be the MINNEAPOLIS
notion, which we have no reason as
yet to believe, all value is struck out of
the proposition, and it would have to
be abandoned.

morning while trying to force her way

possible for the tugs that were sum-
moned from st. Joseph to pull her off
and in short time she began to
pound so badly that there seemed to
be but small chance Of saving her. The

STANDARD FOR INDIA.
Country Likely to Be Put Upon a
Gold Basis.

secretary Of state for India. speaking tonight
at Chswick. said he thought that during the
course Of the next twelve months the govern
ment might take steps to establish a gold
standard for India.
Discussing Indas immense productive ca
pacity. which ne referred to as not yet
fully developed, but capable of being de-
veloped by influx of idle British capital -
Lord George Hamilton said: "a stable ex-
change, attracting that capital. could be Sc
cured by international bimetallic arrangement
or by India establishing a gold standard. The
result of the Wolcott mission showed that the
former is impracticable; but the difficulties
in the way of the gold standard are not so
inseparable as some believe"
His lordship said he believed the home
government could materially assist India in
this matter, and he would venture the opin-
ion that it would do India Infinitely more
COED than any temporary loan of a million
or two to meet the expenses of the frontier
war"

A POOR PRETENSE.

Among the latest attempts that have
come to our notice of the advocates of
the annexation of Hawaii to make
showing for themselves and to adduce
some responsible authority for their
position we find in a contemporary an
exceedingly curious and interesting
list, purporting to exhibit the uniform
approval of this policy by many presi-
dents Of the United States. One who
takes the trouble to peruse the ex-
tracts, culled with labor and with
many reproaches Of conscience, If the
selecters possess that troublesome at
tribute, will be struck with the SINH
larity they bear to the argument of
Senator Morgan. This consisted of a.
simple and easy falsehood. He merely
declared that Grover Cleveland favor
ed annexation, and that settled it in
his mind.
The annexationists, in like man
ner, quote from a message Of
President Tyler in 1912. The
only statement approaching their
views is found in the declara-
ton that any attempt by power other
than the United States to take pos
session Of the Sandwich islands would
create dissatisfaction" This Is mere
ly a mild reaffirmation of the Monroe
doctrine, which all administrations
have agreed in upholding So far from
being in line with annexation, it Is the
annexationists who deliberately and
openly repudiate the Monroe doctrine
They say that it is not sufficient to
hold Hawaii in line; that, If we do not
take these islands, somebody else will;
and that the great principle of action
which today saves this hemisphere
from invasion by the European DOW
ers is not strong enough to preserve
the independence of the handful of
people in the Sandwich islands. Ty-
ler's declaration Is no more to the point
than the original announcement of
President Monroe.
The next quotation IS from a mes
sage of Andrew Johnson, dating from
1868. What he recommends is the
establishment Of q reciprocity treaty
Since that policy has long been in eff
feet, 1t has no bearing on the present
situation. President Johnson believed
that the sanction Of such a treaty
would be valuable until such time as
the people Of the islands should ''vol-
unfairly apply for admission into the
Union" Not only have they not done
so, but a petition demonstrating
against annexation has been signed by
q 900 natives; and no member Of the
Dole government and no lingo in the
United States would propose or dare
to permit the reference of this treaty
to a vote Of all the people of the ISL
ands themselvs.
We come next to the message of
President Grant. 1t seems to us that
judicous editor would have omitted
this altogether. AS a matter of fact,
Gen. Grant simply said, with reference
to annexation, that he did not deem
it advisable to express any opinion or
to make any recommendation in re-
gard to the subject at that juncture."
Men are pretty hard pushed when they
have to quote such a sentence in sup
port of the annexation theory. Had
President Grant expressed a much
more positive opinion, then it would
have to be borne in mind that he urg-
ed, also, the annexation Of Santo Do

Cruiser Being Hurried South on "A
Mysterious Errand.

SAN DIEGO, Cal. Jan. 26.-Much
mystery attaches to the destination of
the British cruiser Pheasant, now
here, en- route Southwark. While the
officers convey the impression that
their trip down the coast is merely an
ordinary cruise, the more communica-
tive subordinates say that the warship
is being hurried to reach Southern
waters. where she is to join the big
cruiser Amphion, and that two will go
on South to Iquique. The Leander and
the torpedo destroyer Sparrow Hawk
are also understood to be on their way
South and were to have left Esquimault
yesterday. 1t Is impossible to learn
what trouble is anticipated off the
coast OF Chill, but it is considered sig
nificant for the Leander and Sparrow
Hawk to be ordered from EsquimauIt
South so soon after their long voyage
from England.
