De Haas Robson Urges Action by
the National League.

Cleveland, Feb. 15.-In response to his
message suggesting that the National
League either pay the most burden
some of Won der Ahe's debts or loan the

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Feb. 15.-The prosecu-
ton committee of the Lattimer strikers
gave out a report last night that two of
the ex-strikers who went on the stand to

for them. The names of the discharged

ordered the discharge of the men, could

At the trial George Roscter. in a long

ton the Supreme Court, in it's an

TUESDAY, MARCH %, 1898.

A Washington dispatch Of even
date with that reporting the an
nexaiion resolution in the Senate
says that the action of the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, In
taking up that plan instead of
staying by the treaty to the end,
was caused by the dilatory tactics
of the opposition. The growth Of
the sentiment in favor of annexa-
ton had been steady, the state
ment is, aud to meet this the
Democratic Sepators had put
every obstacle 10 the way of
securing a vote, even on the
amendment of Senator Bacon
calling for vote of the Hawaiian
people-which would now be
offered when the resolution was
considered. Another theory is
that the friends of annexation who
are Cuban sympathizers desired
to prolong the annexation debate,
80 as to retsrd the work of Con-
gress and defer adjournment until
a solution of the difficulties with
Spain was reached. The
annexationists were to try at once
to fix a date for the
vote on the resolution in the Sen
ate. 1t was expected to be four
weeks from that time, which would
be about April 10, Speaker Reed,
it was declared, "would allow con
siderstion of the resolution" in
he House, and, judging by the
comparative degree of applause
given to speakers on either side
within a few days, there was a
strong sentiment in the House in
favor of annexation. In view of |
the delay and doubt that now
charScterize the situation in
Washington, our "Inopportunists"
may as well step aside and allow
laws admittedly desirable in them
selves to be enacted. If this re-
public has to stand alone a while
longer, it should be placed in the
best shape possible for that posi-
ton. The aim of all policy now
ought to be for making this such
a republic that, if annexation be
now postponed indefinitely, future
overtures for renewing the ques-
ton will come from the other side.

not forbid dual Register to be

1t would be absurd if it did, for,
as the greater includes the less,
all voters for Senators overlap
their qualifications to vote for
Representatives, and there can
be no general election for
Senators alone. Legislation is
called for to remedy the lack of
amplification in the Constitution
revealed by the Supreme Courts
opinion in this matter. 1t is
highly important that the evident
intent of the Constitution, to have
the electoral lists revised for all
elections at intervals of not less
than two years, should not be
further defeated for want of
simple Legislative provision.

Niihau for instance. In thai
Senatorial District no Senator is to
be elected at the general election
of 1901 or any third general
election thereafter. This
means that under the Maui
decision, if the occasion pass I'M
improved, any special election in
that District, intervening between
third and fourth general elections,
will be held on registers from
three to four years old. Two
years is old enough-some coun-
tries having quadrennial or quin-

revised pro forma every year-but
what great changes may not take

removals from other districts,
minors coming of age and into
