An Honest Interview.

The respect which is felt in this
country for President Dole OF Ha-
wall will be very materially in
creased by the interview which he
gave to the Chicago reporters Sun
day afternoon We do not remem-
Der for long time, to have seen
such very frank and manly de-
claration by public man regarding
a subject upon which he is vitality
Interested Upon the matter OF the
treaty which is now before Congress
for consideration, President Dole
very properly refrained from COM
ment but upon the more general
topic OF the Hawaiian Islands and
their possible future he appeared to
be absolutely sincere in his ex-
pressions. This was especially nota-
Bile in the statements made in regard
to the Japanese attitude towards
the islands.
Some Of the Jealous advocates of
annexation in this country have
made it one of their chief arguments
that in the event OF failure by the
United States to annex the islands
the Japanese would surely assume
control OF them. President Dole
does not share this opinion and
while a smaller maj would have
hssitated to admit anything that
might be used against cause which
he undoubtedly holds dear, he has
no hesitation in boldly saying that
Japan has not been scheming for a
control of the islands and is not
likely to secure such control in the
near future. On another point,
however, President Dole is not so
reassuring. He believes that the re-
public now established on the ISL
ands is fully able to maintain itself
for an indefinite length of time
against any internal disturbance,
but he also points out the impossi-
bility of withdrawing any attack OF
one of the big land grabbers Of Eu-
rope. In the face of such an attack
Hawaii would be helpless and it's
fate would be that OF a hundred
other desirable points of military
advantage in various parts Of the
earth Colorado Gazette.

a New Idea.

Ex-senator Calvin S. Brice makes
a suggestion in regard to Hawaii
that invites consideration. In an
swer to the argument that we need
islands to defend us against Great
Britain he points out that it is diff
cult to see how Hawaii could pro-
tect us against Great Britain, being
1000 miles away, without navy to
defend the islands, and if we have a
navy to defend the islands, we can,
with it, defend ourselves against
this power without the islands, 1t
is plain that the Sandwich Islands
would simply give us something
more to defend He therefore sug-
gests that if we need an island for
purpose Of defense against this
grasping power, we cannot possibly
do better than take Ireland. Ire
land is almost the same distance
from us as Hawaii, and is closed to
England, and the loss of Ireland
would be felt by the British monar-
chy in its very bowels. JVilhamsport

Dark-Lantern Job.

Even with President Dole, of Ha-
waii, as an annexation lobbyist at
the capitol, it does not appear there
is clear sailing for the job. Its OPP
ponents in the Senate declare them
selves ready for vote at any time,
but there are votes needed, prob
ably three or four, to ratify the
treaty, and decisive action is held
back until these votes can be Sc
cured. The object in pushing an
nexation by treaty rather than by
bill is that under the first process
everything is done in secret, and the
country is kept in ignorance OF the
important facts developed in debate.
1t is a dark-lantern job that will not
stand open discussion. Il y y Are
the President and Senate the SUI
preme authority, without the inter
vention, advice or consent of the
representatives Of the people3 Nc

job is inexplicable. What can be

mines are controlled by English syn

life is not one TO he envied. Ever since
the trouble some years ago business in
general has been in n state of inertia
and seems in no hope of improvement.
The Beers are out-of-date people who
hate innovations of all kinds, and this

PORKER RUNS AMUCK.
and Interesting Before II Is Made
Into Country Sausage.

A fat porker about to be slaughtered
in Salem, Meigs county, o., created
more commotion than anticipated. Mr..
and Mrs. i. II. Mcknight were at the
farm of Calvin Edmunson and the fam
lily attempted to kill 350-pound hog.
1t was shot two or three times without
avail, when the hog took it into his
head TO add the spice Of variety to the
occasion. 1t ran between the legs Of
an old gentleman by the name of Ed
munson and took him around the lot
several times with his face to the rear.
At the instant the hog started on the
excursion with the old gentleman on
it's back the latter had cockedrevolver
in his hand, which made it rather dan
gerous for any of his companions to
90 to the rescue. After Mr.. Edmunson
had been dumped off the hog made n
dive for Squire Mcknight, with the evil
dent purpose Of giving him the same
sort Of ride, but IL missed its calcula.
tons and Knocked the squire down.
For time it was thought Mr.. Mcknight
was seriously injured. He was hauled
home on bed in an express wagon and
has since been confined to his bed The
hog was finally killed, but the men
were so badly unnerved that they could
scarcely hang 1t up.-Orange Judd
Farmer.
