1t is unfortunate that the debate on Ha-
waiian annexation is to be held behind
closed doors. and it is unnecessary too.
The questions at issue are questions of
right and policy, which the whole Ameri-
can people have an interest in and ought
to hear discussed. If there is any line of
reasoning which can make it appear
right and proper for us to gobble up
Hawaii without consulting it's citizens,
the public ought to know what it is. II,
too, it can be shown that it will strength
en- US to annex in the neighborhood of a
hundred thousand Asiatics-the same
kind of people whom we have been trying
to keep out for many years by drastic
legislatlon-it ought to be shown, not be-
hind closed doors, where the public WON'T
know anything about it, but in open
session, where the public can listen.
Undoubtedly in the discussion of some
treaties secrecy is necessary, or at least
advisable, but this is not one Of them.
There is no reason why this should not
be debated In open Senate-no reason I'M
less 1t be that It's friends do not like
to be compelled to publicly defend it.
That may be, and very likely is, the rea-
sou in this case, but it is not a good one.

APPEAL FOR CURFEW LAW.
(Eytrart from Boys and Girls National
Home Convention at Indianppolis }

Tabulated statements from the chiefs
of police of many cities show that the
number of boys who start every year on
the road to the penitentiary is appalling.
From one hundred towns 37l bands of
boy robbers were reported: $4,000 were
confined in Chicago jails in two years,
and nearly one third of Boston's arrests
were boys. Apropos of these facts is the
item of news in a mornings paper to the
effect that four youthful offenders in
Chicago having pleaded guilty to charges
of burglary, robbery and larceny, in
formed the Judge that the beer obtained
without difficulty in their neighborhod
gave them the 'tnerve' to commit these
depredations.
Also, apropos of boy criminals and
open saloons, St. Louis reports reduc-
ton, under the curfew law, Of fifty per
cent in commitments to the Reform
School, and Lincoln, Nebraska, a reduc-
ton OF seyenty-fiye per cent. So let us
ring out the saloon, and ring in the cur
few.

lie feeling touching national law which

The recent alarm about yellow fever in
of the inhabitants of one State promenad-
ing their frontiers, armed with shotguns,
to keep out the Inhabitants of a neigh
boring State; of railroad trains being
forcibly stopped at a State boundary, in
volying a temporary ruin of commerce

that favorable responses will be received

proper remedial action by Congress be in

If the civil service bill introduced into
the House few days ago should become
law the terms of all subordinate officials
would expire five years hence, or in 1903,
and the administration which was in
power then could pack the whole civil
service with its partisans. 10 be sure
some sort OF an examination is to be re-
uuired but it will not be difficult to FIX
one up that will turn out partisans when
ever wanted. Practically therefore the
bill if it becomes law will restore the
old spoils system, pure and simple. We
do net believe that such q measure win
ever receive the approval of President Nc
Kinley even if it should pass both houses.
He is committed by his promises, and By
his acts so far, to preserve and advance
civil service reform, and he has shown. no
inclination to eyade his pledges.

There seems to be no doubt that the
government at China has yielded to the
pressure of Germany and has granted the
German Emperor cession of the port of
Kiao-Chou for term of fifty years. And
from the press dispatches it is learned
thse if the Germans find that Kiao- Chou
does not suit them they are to pick out
some other portion of the coast, and the
Chinese government will pay the expense
of removal All this, be it remem bered,
is ostensibly at least the compensation for
the murder of couple of Jesuit priests
who had been expelled from German ter

From January 1, 1887, to July /, 1898,
when the South Carolina dispeusary law
went into operation, six years and half,
the total number of homicides in that
State was 1853, an average for each year
of 116. For the four years and half. be-
ginning with the time that the dispen-
sary went into operation, the total num-
Der has been $50, an average of 189. From
this it appears that the number of muir
ders is more than 60 per cent greater I'M
der the dispensary than under the license
system, which preceded it. While the
subtle relations of cause and effect are by
no means established by these figures,
one thing is obvious, that the States
liquor machine did not reduce the num-
Der of murders in the State.

Rev. George Fl. Hepworth, has arrived at
Bitlis, after making a journey, which he
says he would. mot have missed for worlds,
and would not take again for a mortgage
on Thousand planets. The nearest he
gets TO the Armenian massaores is his
statement that he had seen the Hamidich
cavalry, who were an important factor in
them. He says they are the fercest men
he ever met. Several times since Mr..
Hepworth began his journey he has let
words drop which seemed to show that he
had not fallen So deeply in love with the
Turk as he was expected to-not near SO
deeply as did Mr.. Terrill, our last Minis

STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST.

No prices have as yet boen made on
future packs of Maine corn, but no doubt
they will remain about the saEre as last
year, says the Portland Transcript.
There is singular lack of activity in the
market for both present and future sup
plies. While the western farmer Is get
ting good prices for his wheat, the Maine
farmer has but little to sell, while wages
in manufacturing towns are lower. NO
lobster packer has made his prices for
1898. and the probability is that for the
present none will be fixed. All that can
be packed will be sold at full prices.
Canned tomatoes are little higher.

q The councils of the city of Philadel-
phia have under consideration an ordi-
nance providing that aisles in theatres,
public halls and places of amusement
shall not be less than six feet wide. The
intention of this ordinance is of course to
make escape easy in case of fire, but most
likely freedom of movement would be
better promoted by increasing the num-
Der of aisles rather than by the widening
process, which seems to be the only thing
contemplated by the ordinance in q1es-
