GERMANY AND THE UNITED
STATES.

Germany viii observe the strietest
neutrality during the war. The En-
peror is not elected every four years.
nor does he feel called upon TO make
an enemy of the United States. in
order TO please the whims of certain
classes of his subjects. He is quite
well aware of the growth in popala-
ton and wealth of the American peo-
pie. Any unfriendlifess at the present
time would be ''chalked up against
him by the Americans
The German mercantile classes are
not friendly to the United States, ow-
ing to the high tariff which excludes
their goods from American markets.
They claim that the Americans have
put up the bars of trade, and have done
so in a very mean and sefish way.
Again, Germany has for some years
regarded South America as a field for
German settlement and empire. She
has even contemplated the occupation
of Brazil. All movements in this d.
rection are at once checked by the
Monroe doctrine. which is in the ma
ture of an arbitrary threat to all of the
European powers. The Emperor of
Germany, with his great army and
navy, does not relish being told TO
keep of American grass" He would
like to see the head of the American
buffer punched little by Spain
The aristocratie class in Germany
also sympathises with the Spaniards
1t would not give aid and comfort to
them, but would rejoice to see them
victorious, and knock the stuffing out
OF the Americans. The German pa
pers condemn SPANS government of
Cuba, but they refuse to see justice in
American interference They refuse to
believe that the Americans are gov
erned by any other than the most sell
fish motives in interference, and charge
that the humanitarian motive is mere
ly protest for conquest.
But this is not the belief OF the great
body of the German people. the quiet,
serious. strong majority, who keep and
will keep Germany on the side of the
United States. The influence of the
large German population of the States
is a powerful one, reaching back to
Germany itself. 1t informs the people
Of the Fatherland that the Americans
are really conservative in their treat
ment of the Cuban matter.
Germany will maintain the very
strictest neutrality. The report that
the Emperor intended to prevent the
capture of the Philippine Islands must
be, therefore, without any foundation

notice, The very men here who refuse

set frantic because the American peo-
pie do not handle at once the novel
and complicated question of annsxing

AT the same time events which fin
ally bring annexation are slowly COM
ing into existence. The American ma
ton slowly outgrows the maxims of
Washington. The Intervention in
Cuba is the first decided. firm. and ad-
vaneed step in the new path. The

an education of the people TO a sense
OF the real position of the United
States in the worlds affairs. Every /
act, everything. that breaks down the

the lines OF annexation.
We are speaking entirely from the
American standpoint. Very many able
Americans do not believe in territorial
expansion. because they do not see
practically the benefit of it. The Far
East and Cuba are breaking down
lowly the wall of isolation which Gen
raj Washington honestly and rightly

SHORE RIGHTS.

We must again differ from Senator
MeCandless, when he states, regarding
the acquisition of the shore land 'front.'
ing Kapiolani park. that the owners of
the shore front are not disposed to per
nit the people to use the shores for re-
creation or other purposes.
There is more or less trouble in all
countries regarding the use of such
fronts The rights of the parties are
not clearly understood While under
the old English law the King owns
from high water mark outward, and
the people are accustomed to use it as
a common, the owners of the upland
must be protected from trespass. Be
cause a person has the right to walk
on the beach, it does not give him the
right TO disturb plants, flowers, and
grass growing on land adjoining it.
This is not understood by many and
has caused in the United States, es-
peeially, much annoyance.
The public should, and must have,
access to the beach and beach priyiIi-
ges- All should agree in securing them.
But it is the communistie and hateful
spirit that attempts to iniure individ-
uals. when they have had forethought,
and obtained shore fronts, when such
property went begging. If the Senator
would secure for the public a marine
plaza, near the city, he would do not
only the poor people much good, but
give pleasure to many rich people who
have not secured shore fronts. and
pleasure to the many people who will
visit these Islands, and will desire to
enjoy our beautiful marine views.

ANNEXATION.
Views Expressed in a Dispatch
From the East.

Views Expressed in a Dispatch
From the East.
The New York connection of a cou-
pie of local firms and of several citi-
zens says in telegram brought from
San Francisco by the S. S. City of Rio:
Mr.. Thurston says that the war tariff
bill displaces for the present consider
alton of the annexation resolution. Our
own information is that the resolution
will be taken up and disposed of in the
Senate as soon as preliminary or i'm
peratiye war legislation is out of the
way. In any event We are of the
opinion that action should be taken in
Hawaii, regardless of inaction in this
country"
The last clause in this dispatch re-
fers of course, to some proposal that
has been made for a radical course
here. Members of the Government de-
cline to discuss the matter at present
or rather to make or give any hint as
to the immediate future. 1t was said
on Saturday that determined effort
or attempt would be made to uncover
the policy Of the Government through
the old process of lodging questions
from the Legislature upon the Minis
try. When this was suggested to
factor the reply was that
the Cabinet could not be forced to an
swer all questions.

WAR MOVEMENTS.

The most noticeable feature of the
American campaign is its CELEBRITY. As
the Nation has been II peace with the
world for 50 years, one would expect TO
see some friction, some rust. some
hesitzting movements But the dis
patches distinctly show the value of
the Annapolis training and the expert
ences gained in the Civil war. Al
though 60 years have passed. there are
now over 80 officers Of the navy, VINO
have had training under fire Many OF
these men are ~ their best now. The
older men viii perhaps recall the fight
between the irOneIad Weehawken of
the Federal navy and the Confederate
ironclzd Atlanta in WARSAW Sound in
which. after 2 severe engagement, the
Atlanta was disabled and captured.
We believe that several Of the officers
Of the WeehaEken are now officers Of
high rank in the present service.
What We said in these columns sew
eral days ago, is confirmed BY the COM
nents Of several American papers, that
neither English. nor German. or

Old Inns In England.

There Is IN almost Puritanical simplic-
ity about many of the old inns and ale
houses, often in keeping with the old
world names of their proprietors, rs, for
example, Amos Gale, Shadrach Meade,
Samuel Ward or Mary Ann Mulcock. The
names of tho inns would require a paper
to themselves. The Three Horseshoes has
for it's rival across the road the Four
Horseshoes. At Peters Green the sign of
the Half Moon mods oomplacently across
the heath to the Bright Star. A favorite
name in many village Is derived from
the number of bells in the tower of the
parish church. Thus there is the Six
Bells at St. Michael's, where Lord Bacon
lies buried, and Hatfield and Luton have
each their Eight Bells. The Bull, the Bell,
tho Pillow, the Rose and Crown, the George
and the Dragon, the Red Lion, are old stag
ers to be found everywhere reminding one
of Joseph Addison S delightful essay in the
earlier Spectators on the sign posts of

are filled with blue boars black swans and
