THE INFLUENCE OF THE PRESS.

After the striking success of the
Tammany party, in the recent election
of a city government for Greater New
York, the city newspapers began to
inquire, why it was that their infu-
ence was so limited OF the nine
great daily papers, seven were opposed
TO Tammany, and were in favor of the
reform candidate. A large majority OF
voters simply snubbed the Press The
arguments used in favor of reform
were unanswerable. Then why did
they not prevail? Why was this sin
gular combination Of the newspaper
talent ignored? Has the Press any
power? II il has, how much has it?
Time and again, in the political his
tory of American communities the
Press has been utterly defeated, even
when it was, probably, in the right.
In 1872, when the gigantic frauds of
Boss" Tweed were discovered, and
every newspaper in the city Of New
York denounced him, the Boss was

The answers to these questions are
very many. In the first place, few
men are open TO conviction. Party
allegiance, racial feeling, and religious
sentiment determine mems thoughts.
Reason operates slowly. 1t may strike

or 8 Democrats. They have fear and

instinct of thought. Even the y. Y.

publican party, could influence only a
few of that party 70 vote for the Re

ENGLAND AND THE EAST.

The Japanese papers. received by
the last mail take the view that the
policy of England in the Far East is
to keep the trade of China open to the
world, and would not be unwilling TO
have Japan as an ally.
If this is true, it will relieve the
apprehensionS of some American
statesmen who feared that the United
States were to be left" in drawing
the Eastern prizes. While this policy
of England is broad, and incidentally
takes care of American interest, it does
not by any means take the form OF
q guarantee that the policy will con-
tinue. Great Britain is governed by
her interests, and these. at present.
are in favor of the worlds free trade.
But events may force a change of
policy. The United States, therefore
will probably conclude that they must
have their own commercial outposts.
and will not put implicit faith in Great
Britain. The fact that Great Britain
and the United States unite in the
same policy, will greatly aid the rapid
of the latter country tow
ards establishing a foot hold here.

If legislators, sharing the general ig-

laws would be more creditable bust

LEGISLATION AND THE TREATY.

Article III of the Treaty of Annexa-
ton contains this provision:
The municipal legislation of the
Hawaiian Islands, not enacted for the
fulilment of the treaties so extin-
guished, and not inconsistent with this
treaty, nor contrary to the constitu-
ton of the United States, nor to any
existing treaty of the United States,
shall remain in force until the Con-
gress shall otherwise determine
This language does not clearly indi-
cate whether or not, municipal legis-
lation may be enacted after the treaty
is ratified. Should the Legislature en-
act law tomorrow, and it happened
that the Senate had ratified the treaty
today, would such law have force?
While the language is rather indefinite,
if it were submitted TO competent
Court. it would probably be held that
any municipal laws duly enacted, after
the ratification of the treaty would
have force until repealed by Congress.
