tories. When recollect the trials and
tribulations of that protracted struggle,
1 can foresee nothing but failure for
those who would try to make state
OF Hawaii; because congress is op-
posed to increasing the number of
states now in the union"
There, you see, is another argument
in favor of annexation. Senator Hans
brough was delegate in congress from
the territory of Dakota. Gov. Toole was
delegate from the territory of Mon
tana. Charles Voorhees,, son of Senator
voorhees,, was delegate from the ter
ritory Of Washington: and what is said
concerning the long struggle for ad-
mission to statehood ON the part of
those men, is personally known to the
narrator of this story.
Senator Clark, of Wyoming, says: 81
long engaged in the struggle for the
admission of Wyoming to statehood.
and l fully agree with what Senator
Hansbrough says. I believe that it
would be practically impossible. for a
territory away out in the Pacific ocean
TO acquire statehood. The congress is
very conservative on a matter of that
kind. Besides, you must remember
that right here on our continent the
territories of Oklahoma and New Mex
leo and Arizona ore clamoring, in vain
for statehood. 1t seems to me that
those territories would first have con-
gressional consideration, on the prin-
ciple Of first come, first served Be-
fore the congress would consider state
hood for Hawaii, in the event of an
nexation. the cases of these territories
would necessarily be taken up and dis
posed of, as a matter of equity. think
we should first settle the question of
annexation, and cross other bridges as
we come to them"
It has taken some time, and bit
OF trouble, to ascertain facts and views
on this subject; and they are put be-
fore the reader without a suggestion
from the writer. Having these facts
and expressions of opinion, the read
ers will make up their own minds, and
reach their own conclusions. The ques-
tion of the addition of territory, so far
removed from our borders. is one which
requires ample time and careful con-
sideration by the people, and by their
accredited representatives.
In some of the popular stories, and
vernacular expressions Of our people,
there is a world of wisdom; and
after the writer has placed all sides OF
this question before the people, he
may be pardoned for quoting the oft
repeated expression: "You pays your
money and you takes your choice

I.J--srTI1-,.- RE appiSnenGs tlat ua-
waiian annexation would affect the
principal product of his people. He
says: "This country ought not to vi
olate its traditions. We ought not to
begin grasping territory. If we an
mex Hawaii, we must build a navy to
protect our rights, and it would re-
luire many millions of dollars to build
and maintain a navy, always on war
footing, capable of defending the Ha-
waiian islands against the whole
world"
There you have an epitome of the
arguments, pro and con; and every
reader in this country will think for
himself, and reach his own conclusions.
One of the strongest arguments of the
anti-anneXationists is that the annexu-
tion of Hawaii as territory of this
country would be followed by de-
mand that Hawaii should become a
sovereign state, with represen ntative
III the lower house of congress. and
two senators in the upper house of
congress. That is an argument worthy
of consideration, but it is an argument
based upon supposition; a supposi-
tion of what now seems probable.
In answer TO that statement Senator
Mcbride, of Oregon, says: "It would
net be necessary TO make state of
Hawaii, now or in the future. If the
territory of Hawaii should become a
part of this country it might come in
as a county of California. Oregon or
Washington; and. as such county, be
allowed only such representation in the
state legislature as is accorded to any
county now attached to such state, and
no more"
You will see from these utterances
of the statesmen that the subject of an
neXaton is being thought Out; and the
brains of the brain workers are very
busy solving the problem. 1t takes
many men Of many minds to settle ques.
tions of craftsmanship; particularly
those which bring in constitutional
law as part of the problem.
Senator Hansbrough, of North Da-
kota, says: Il worked for ten years
assiduously, together with Senator Pet
tigrew, Senator Carter. Gov. Toole and
Delegate Voorhees,. and all of the forces
that could be mustered by the people
in the territories of Dakota, Montana
and Washington, in order to secure
statehood; and it was triumph of
energy and determination on the part
of many men that brought about the
Passage of the omnibus bill in 1855,
which gave statehood to those terri

congress from this district on
the socialist labor party ticket
to Chas. A. Towne, candidate
for the same office. on the

Charles A. Towne's yearning
for joint debate may be satisfied
after all. He has just been
challenged to joint debate by
Edward Kriz, of Duluth, nom
inee of the socialist labor party
for congressman in the Sixth
district. Mr. Kriz addresses
his challenge to Mr.. Towne as
follows: II have frequently
noticed in the Evening Herald
of this city your desire for a
public debate, in which you
would attempt to prove that
your party represents the inter
ests of the working class. If
so, you should have an oppor-
tunity to prove this. I hereby
challenge you to meet me in
public debate. Subject, Which
Political Party Represents the
True Interests of the Working
Class?'" ..
The News Tribune contained
Mr.. Towne's answer to Mr..
Kriz Tuesday morning, Au-
gust 23rd:
/ have no information as to
Mr.. KRIS challenge, ,otherthan
that contained in the News
Tribune. Custom and court
esy would seem to demand that
Mr.. Kriz municate with me
personally or by mail but |
have heard nothing from him.
This fact, together with his
having chosen this particular
avenue of publicity has caused
some people to speculate curl
ously on the true occasion and
origin of the challenge. How
ever, I haven't the slightest
embarrassment in the world in
dealing with the matter, and if
anybody has had in it a pur-
pose to "smoke me out" or to
make it any easier for Judge
Morris committee to evade my
challenge to the judge, it will
fail. s-.....
Of course [ will not debate
with Mr.. Kriz. I understand
thathe is opposed to the gold
standard. So am I. I under
stand he is opposed to the
trusts and monopolies. So am
I. I understand he is opposed
to government by the bankers.
So am I. These are the subjects

these things, however much he
and I may differ on methods
for achieving the ultimate re-
generation of society, we are, I
believe, in accord. On the con-
trary, the republican party is
for the gold standard, for the
trusts, for the monopolies, for
government by banks. Judge
Morris stands for whatever his
party stands for. Now either
Judge Morris or I will represent
this district in the Fifty-sixth
congress. 1t is no di.. respect to
Mr.. Kriz to say that he has no
possible show of being elected.
He himself would not claim
that he has. He is undoubted-

THE FIRST SPANISH FLAG.
An Indiana Corporal Claims the
Honor of Taking 1t.

Representative Lands is conducting an
investigation at the War Department in the
interests of Corporal Newman, of Lebanon,
a member of the Twenty-second regulars
Newman claims that he and not the Ne
braska corporal who claimed the honor
was the one to haul down the first Spanish
flag at Santiago. The Nebraska corporal,
however, was said at the time to be the
man, and was commissioned a lieutenant
for the deed. Newman's story is that while
the army was before Santiago the colonel
of the Twenty-second Regiment noticed a
Spanish flag floating over a hill quite a dis
lance from the army and asked for volun-
teerS to go and tear it down. Five men vol
untered to do the work, two corporals and
three privates. The party found it neces-
aary to split up, and Newman with his de-
tachment reached the flag first and cut 1t
down. The men then cut the flag rope into
five parts and each man took one of the
pieces. Newman says he carried the flag
most Of the way back to the regiment, all
though Whine in the act of cutting 1t down
he was shot through the breast by Span
ish soldier.
Representative Lands has taken the mat
ter in hand and will get each of the men
connected with the adventure to make affi-
davits in order to determine whether New
man or the Nebraska corporal is entitled
to the honor of capturing the flag.

According to the story of Sergeant Thomas
F. Delaney, of the Indiana company of en-
gineers, that organization has made a great
name for itself at Camp Wikoff, where it
has done most of the building of the camp
and making the arrangements for the recep-
ton of the sick soldiers who were quar-
tered there after their return from the Gu
ban campaign. Company D, which is the
official designation of the company, has
been publicly praised by Secretary of War
Alger and President Mckinley for the thor
oughness of it's work. while internally there
has been nothing but harmony among the
men and officers.
was unjustly dsliked by many of his men,
has inculcated a feeling of confidence
among them, and to-day they all swear by
him. He did not have the gen1al1ty about
him which generally characterized the vol
unteer officer, but when the company went
into active duty it was found that he was at
heart the best friend the men had. For
long time after going to Camp Wikoff the
men were compelled to work at night in the
dark, putting in water pipes and building
quarters for the sick men, but Lieutenant
Clark and his men themselves built a one
hundred-arc light plant, which made the
grounds as light as day. Sergeant Clark, who
is sort of yardmaSter in the railroad yards,
where the lumber and heavy timbelS are
received, and Lieutenant Fitzgerald, who
had been of great service in railroad con-
struction, have both made good names for
themselves. Sergeant Delaney said that as
Company d had more engineers in it than
any other company in the regiment it was
called on for the most service.
He says when the soldiers came back from
Cuba there were so many sick ones that 1T
was impossible to get quarters ready for
weak to walk and had to be carried into
the houses already built. There are 175 men
sick in the hospital. among them being
Harry Skates and Frank Glazier, of this
city, who have typhoid fever.
