A SUGGESTIVE LETTER.

Should annexation, either by ratifica-
ton or by resolution fail ''decisively,"
it would be the duty of all to work
Loyalty together for the common good,
as Mr.. Davies suggests in his letter,
which appears in another column.
Until there is clearly decisive action
in Washington, we fear that even those
who are, or are believed to be, political
leaders here, will not take much inter
est in future events, any more than
passengers take much interest in pre-
parations against sudden shipwreck, so
long as the vessel that carries them is
in smooth water. At present there is
strong belief, not without good reasons
for it, that annexation will soon take
place
But if it does not take place, during
the present session of Congress, it by
no means follows that there will be
decisive action. The matter may be
laid over, or hung up" There can be

eminent, because succeeding Govern
ment may reverse the course of its pre-
decessor OF course, there may be
strong evidence that the United States
has done with us, but there can be
hardly any conclusive" evidence of it.
The policy of keeping Hawaii with
II, of &c inf 1Ipnanp hU fhn
United States, has become almost ma
tional habit. Even Democratic Sena-
tors who are opposed to annexation be-
lieve in it. And it is now an unwritten
international law that Hawaii is the
Americans pigeon" 1t is, therefore
highly improbable that failure to an
mex during the present session of Con-
gress, would be decisive, at least so
decisive as to bring about any common
understanding among men here on that
point.
A policy that is backed by the Amer
lean Executive, and by more than a
majority in both Houses of Congress,
will not be abandoned, unless there is
some very radical change of events.
That is possible, but highly improb-
able. Indeed, from our point of view,
the great commercial forces of the
United States, excepting those of San
Francisco. are only beginning to take
an active interest in the matter. In the
end they will force annexation, in the
interests, not of strategy, but of trade
Our community, facing so many ra-
cial and political questions, should of
course, prepare itself for the alterna-
tive of independence forced upon it by
the United States. But other commune
tiles do not make preparation for
crises, and we will probably follow the
rule
Until this decisive action on annexa-
ton is accepted without reservation by
the supporters of the Government, it
seems to us, that there will be no dis
position to think, discuss, or act upon
the several propositions made by Mr..
Davies, admitting that they are wise,
and expedient
Mr.. Davies letter is fair and candid.
But it suggests many intricate ques-
tions which, in the government of diff
ferent races, have not been easily an
swered We, governed by American
habit of political thought, would solve
them by the aid of British experience.
We wish Mr. Davies would also accept
British experience in this matter.

The Importance of maintaining good

blood is employed to carry this nourisb-
