proven very effective thus far in the

Dewey long to break the backs of those
sent against him at Manila and there
is nc reason to believe that they would
prove more effective against Sampson

REED AND HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION

Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,
yesterday offered d resolution for the
annexation OF Hawaii as an amend
ment to the war revenue bill Thus do
the annexation schemers in behalf of
the Sugar Trust threaten to hold up or
delay vital war measure, to take adj
vantage of the nations extremity to
push to the front their own selfish
scheme. There is every probability,
however, that the Republican party in
Congress will find itself up against a
stone wall of its own building in this
matter in the shape of Speaker Reed,
who is stubbornly opposed to the an
nexation of Hawaii.
This reminds one of the enthusiasm
with which the statesmen of the grand
old party used to laud Reed when he
donned his bulldozing clothes and
sailed into the defenseless Democratic
minority bowling it over, battering it
down and binding and gagging it, maxi
Ing it do his will by counting empty
chairs as Democratic Congressman.
How the spectacle of the triumph of
brute force used to delight the Repub-
lican side of the House, and how they
used to howl Bravo! and pat Reed on
the back as the greatest that ever was.
But now, the shoe is on the othe-
foot. Reed has placed himself square
ly against annexation of Hawaii and
Hawaii can never be annexed as long as
he maintains that attitude. And he can
rule his party in Congress as despoti-
cally as he ruled the minority, for, 10,
he is not only absolute ruler of the
proceedings on the floor of the House,
but is Chairman of the Committee on
Rules which governs the House pro-
cedure And thus the Republicans are
being treated by their own doctor to a
dose Of their own medicine, which
they so delighted to see applied to the
Democrats. Consequently they are
coaxing, cajoling and even threaten
ing but with no effect upon the
adamantine Reed
Now that Thomas is having fun with
the Republican elephant the animal is
laughing on the other side of its face.

The American Bird.

Today, Sunday and Monday the odor
of roasting turkey will be waited over
the land. Truly this a serious season
for the fowls, as there are three days
of festivities on each of which the
birds will be offered as a sacrifice to
the taste of Americans. Truly Ameri-
cans have no better sacrifice to Amer
lean taste than the native &mer-
lean fowl which combines so many
good qualities. And again the usual
sauce accompanying the bird is a ma
tive American product. The cranber-
ry was found on the cold snowy hills
of New England when the Pilgrims
had few of the necessities to say
naught of the luxuries of life. The
wild turkeys were there, too, and
with turkeys and cranberries in abun-
dance many an everyday dinner was
possible where it would have been a
question what the little ones would
have had to eat if nature had not al
ready provided the two luxuries of the
present generation
When you carve your turkey tomor-
row or next day, let your thoughts be
of thankfulness that you are native
OF land where such luxuries are
placed in abundance, and don't forget
that the present form of government
is a grand one and will always guar
antee you the right to enjoy accord
ing to your own ideas, peace on earth

A New Colonel on BushneIIs Staff.

Mr.. w. B. Melish of this city and
Clifton, was last night appointed a
member of the staff of Governor Bush
nell Mr.. Melish was on Governor
Bushnell's staff once before, but re-
signed, owing to a misunderstanding
with tine Governor over Mr.. Melish' S
appointment on the Water Works
Commission. The Governor, it ap-
pears from Mr.. Melishs contention,
had promised to appoint him, but
when the plums were handed around,
10, Mr.. Melish's name was not in the
dish. This rolled the amiable William
b., and his friends declared that the
Governor had broken faith with him.
Mr.. Melish thereupon resigned from
great State of Ohio and laid away in
camphor and moth balls the dazzling
uniform, with its pretty gold lace and
chapeau like the one that made Char
ley Wing look so jaunty.
Mr.. Melish's resignation was the oc-
casion of a great powwowing among
the polluical powers and matters began
to look threatening. At this critical
juncture, when diplomatic relations
hung by shoe-string, so to speak, Dr.
GTaydon, who had been appointed on
the Water Works Commission came
to the rescue and cut the Gordian knot
by handing in his resignation, on ac-
count of private business interests
Mr.. Melish was appointed to the va
cancy and relations with the Governor
were restored to the formerly lovely
aspect. But this didn't resurrect the
dazzling uniform and pretty chapeau
They still lay snugly embalmed in
| camphor, but today their gentle rest
| will be disturbed and an odor of tar pa
| per and moth balls will pervade the
Melish mansion in Clifton. William
B. will once more be a Colonel-Cin-
