A Senatorial Trio.

1t is to be observed that the men quoted
as being foremost in the fight now. against
the annexation of Hawaii were also the
most active in the effort that was made to
prevent acton in the case of Cuba Mr..
Hale was aggressively and persistently
pro-Spanish in all the contention about Gu
ba that he was referred to in a spirit of
pleasantly during the debates in the Senate
as 1.-The Senator from Spain" Mr.. White
and Mr.. Wellington were likewise warmly
opposed to Intervention by the United
States, and recorded themselves against
the resolution that committed the country
to freedom for Cuba.
And yet vhe sense of the country had
been carefully taken on that proposition.
Instructions were explicit that interven-
ton should take place if necessary to give
to Cuba an independent government. Mr..
White democrat had received those in
structions from his party, and Mr.. Hale and
Mr.. Wellington as republicans had received
them from theirs. Every honorable effort
had been made by this government to avert
war. But even after the de LONE episode,
after the Maine episode, after it was en-
tirely apparent that the United States must
redeem It's promises or sacrifice its prestige,
two of these senators voted against the
overwhelming sentiment of Congress ana
the country.
Is not the Hawaiian matter as clear as
was the Cuban matter? Is not the senti-
ment of Congress and the country with re-
gard TO annexation as unmistakable as it
was with regard to intervention? Is it not
Il fact that large majority of the House
and almost twc-thirds of the Senate favor
the Immediate acQuir of the Hawaii
an islands by resolution? If brought to
vote would not the resolution easily carry?
And yet Messrs Hale and White and We'll
lington again raise the standard OF opposi-
tion and challenge the country.
Three persons united in England on one
occasion on a matter of public interest and
endeayored to show the way for the coun-
try's salvation. The fame of their pronun-
ciamento has come down to this day. Their
earnestness was intense. Their views how
ever, were not adopted. They lived in Too
ley street. London.

Our foreign friend, Lii
Was jolly Chinee.
AS he Travelled around this great earth,
Twas his fashion to greet
Whomever he'd meet
With the query, How much are you
WORTH
Whether merchant or sage
Glanced his mind to engage.
He'd move all the audience to mirth
By his standard SO queer
OF true eminence here
His question, How much are they worth ?''
Yet If minds are controlled
By the glitter of gold.
And men find of good reason a dearth,
1t must echo again
With fierce note of pain,
That sentence, How much are they
wCrth?"
Let us brace UP our nerve!
Let each statesman daserve
To be measured by brain; not by glrth
Let us quickly cut free
From the trusts and old Lii"

well in hand, the American flag flying tri-
unphantly over every important possession
of Spain, Cuba free and established on
secure basis of independent government.
Spain humbled. our victory won without
scratch. 1t was to be a sort of military
prestidigitation. in the twinkling Of an eye.
Even shrewd thinkers were deceived in
the estimates they advanced at the start
as to how long the war might last. Gen
eral Lee. among others. calculated that
sc mething less than month would be re-
quired to srbdue Spain in Cuba. But Gen
eral Lee and all others who thus figured on
brief campaign were unprepared for the
sudden extensioh Of the horizon caused by
Deweys complete victory at Manila This
broadened the area of hostilities by many
thousand miles. The necessities were cor
respondingly increased. while the ability to
meet them was not enlarged. Another fac
tor developed to prolong the period required
for the subjugation of Spain In Cuba itself.
The insurgent army, reckoned upon at first
as of the highest value in any campaign
on land in the island, WAS found to be an
Insufficient reliance for such work. The
campaign must be initiated and conducted
with American soldiers. aided by the in
surgent forces TO some extent. but sent to
Cuba with the understanding that victory
depends primarily upon their own efforts.
This American army has to be created,
equipped and transported.
Gradually the proportions of the war are
being revealed to the people. The jealous
citizen who laughed immoderately at the
short-sighted Spaniard who would land an
army at Norfolk one day and capture Chi
cago two days later now begins to realize
that he has something of mote in his
own eye and that his vision must be read
justed to the changing requirements of a
serious campaign.

Pride goeth before fall and a naughty

arrogance and tyranncal disregard of the

more unpopular every day. His towering

Limits to the Houses Endurance.
III Washington Disnetcb m tho Nau- vorl, u,rIy,,no

The new spirit shown In the Senate today
will, 1t is hoped, encourage the republicans
in the House TO insist on the passage at this
session of the Newlands annexation reso-
luton. which Is favored by an overwhelm-
ing majority on the republican side and in
the body generally. A vote on the resoiu-
ton has so far been prevented by the ex-
ercise of the Speakers almost autocratic
powers. But there are limits beyond which
the endurance of the House is not likely
to go, and its failure to secure a vote on
so urgent measure of national import
might be regarded as giving some color to
the charges. too ofen heard. that genuine
rule by the majority has departed in the
popular branch of Congress.

ton of Hawaii will mean embarrassment
to the administration, treachery to Dewey
and our gallant men 5000 miles away from
the nearest American soil, encouragement

dispensable national measure out into the

Reed and Hawaiian Annexation.
From the Chicago Tribune Rep).

The Speaker has done quite enough to
show that he is opposed to the annexation
of Hawaii. He deems 1t unwise, and he
has delayed action, hoping possibly that his
party and the people would come around to
his way of thinking. They have not done
so. Therefore, it is his duty to yield to the
majority. as he had to in the Cuban ques-
ton when his party and the people over
ruled him. 1t is not his duty to prevent
the enactment of legislation which the ma
jority favors, but which he may deem
has the power to block action He should
bow to the will of the House and allow the
joint resolution for annexation to be voted
on. Then he can vote against it and be
consistent and in the wrong
