All kinds Of troubles are coming to
Editor Veatch, of the Washington Post
Register. The Kansas City Star says
that he reprints the guying which the
papers of the Fifth district give him
because of his withdrawal from the Con-
gressiOnal race and treats them as COM
pliments. The Star says that he is the
"WhoOp Tomlinson" of the Republican
party.

charges that o. e. McElfresh of Usage

Of Usage City and that the situation at
Lyndon Is worse.
John Seaton was a Democrat once. IN
1884 he wanted the Republican nomina-
ton for Representative. On the day Of
the convention the opposition opened a
bitter fight on him, which SO incensed
him that he withdrew and announced
that "hencefOrth and forever" he would
be against the Republicans. He became
an anti-Republican candidate for Repre-
sentative and the Democrats Immediately
endorsed him. In a short time he re-
pented and went back to the old party.
He could not keep away from the Blaine
and Logan campaign club.
At the First district Republican con-
Vention there was no chaplain. Tom
Anderson called attention to the fact
that the convention was without prayer,
when someone said, pray for us, Tom"
and he proceeded with prayer which
for irreverence and indiscreetness is
without parallel in Kansas history. The
Kansas City Gazette (Rep.) says: I'VE
think that prayer Of Tom AndersOn's
was about as scandalOus as anything
we ever knew of in Kansas, and what
makes it worse was that there seemed
to be no one among the seventy or
eighty delegates to rebuke it.
In 1893 Bank Commissioner Breiden-
thai closed the Bank of Greensburg be-
cause it was insolvent. His action was
bitterly denounced as a political scheme
and Sam Peters said that it was an out
rage as the banks assets were worth
every dollar they represented. Such
furore was raised by the ring politicians
that the Sheriff felt called upon to guard
Mr.. Breidenthal to prevent the gang from
doing violence to him. The notes in the
bank amounting to 100000 have just
been sold at receivers sale, bringing but
5000, showing that Breidenthal knew
what he was talking about when he said
they were worthless.

but even as to the introduction of
foreign capital into interior Japan.
There is, it is stated, a strong anti
foreign spirit ruling a certain section
of the japanese public. This section
is fanatically opposed not against for
eigners investing in japanese enter
prises, but also against japanese util-
izing foreign capital for carrying on
domestic enterprises. With such feel
ing pervading a large section of the
country, the japanese government is
not likely to have very smooth sailing
when the new treaties come into force.

Setting in motion the machinery of
government in Greater New York has
been done with little or no friction.
and there has been no serious difficult
ty in the transfer of the new agencies
of the consolidated city of the func-
tons formerly discharged by different
public officials in the separate munici-
palities. But what mighty interests
are involved in this Greater New York,
and how small do our interests look
here. Our real estate is valued at a
few millions of dollars. The total as
sessed value of the real estate of
Greater New York is $2,5OO,0OO. We
have a debt of $4,OOO,OOO. The net
funded debt of Greater New York is
1927 100000. To manage the CONSOLE
dated city requires an army of offici-
ais and the mayor has certainly no
sinecure.

AN ENDORSEMENT.

Among the papers that stand firm
for annexation is the Philadelphia
Press, it is to be noted 1t sees clearly
the situation here. 1t points out that
the Americans in Hawaii found the Is
lands without products and they have
placed it's plantations among the SUI
gar producers of the world They
found the Islands without commerce,
and they have made Honolulu a thriv-
ing port. The American colony in Ha-
wall stands today an outpost of Anne
merce in the mid-Pacific. 1t repre-
sents the enterprise, the ability and
the future of America in the Pacific.
These are ringing words and cannot
be controverted. AS fact the Ameri-
can colony here at the present time
holds the key to the commercial ex-
pansion of the future, and to the safe
ty of the west coast from Sitka to San
Diego. The Senate ing its present de-
bate is discussing really far more i'm
portant interests than the mere acqui-
sition of the Islands. That is an i'm
portant matter, but it is only part of
greater whole. The real issue at
stake is whether the United States
shall go forward or backward, wheth-
err it shall expand its commerce and
influence or remain supine within it's
own borders.
1t is true that a nation can do this
and exist. China did so. Japan did
so. Korea did so. But no Anglo-SaX-
on state has ever done so. With states
of this race there is always continued
expansion, and it is impossible for the
United States to avoid expanding
Whether the expansion will be as rap
id as it should he depends upon a vote
or two in the Senate.
Hawaii, today, stands as Texas did
fifty years ago for American advance,
for its progress as nation. for its
growth as a power and for American
position and prestige in the future.
And yet fifty years ago there were
very much the same arguments used
against the annexation of Texas.
There are always those who look back
instead of looking forward. There
were those who looked back when Tex
as, when Louisiana, when Florida and
when Alaska, were annexed. There
are those who probably still sigh for
the original thirteen states and the
simplicity of early colonial life. But
a nation grows like an individual
You may thwart its growth, but it will
eventually burst through its barriers,
Its progressive course will run on and
those who thwarted it will be cast
aside and forgotten or be regarded as
mere back numbers.
That majority of the Senators view
Hawaiian annexation in the progressive
light, is evidenced by the fact that
fifty-eight are now pledged to vote for
annexation. 1t is to be hoped that the
steamer next Thursday will bring the
news that the other two votes are Sc
cured.

RECOVERED HER JEWELS.
A Lively Search for a Valuable Col
lection.

The monotony of the last trip of the
Pacific Mail S. S. City of Picking from
Honolulu to Yokohama, was disagree
ably disturbed by the theft of $4,000
worth of iewelry from a lady travel
ing in the saloon, says a recent Yo-
kohama exchange. The property had
been cleverly abstracted from her
trunk, at the bottom of which she had
placed it for safe keeping. On ascer-
tanning her loss, she Immediately in
formed Capt. Smith. who instituted in
quiries without result. Finally the Ia
dy offered $500 reward for the recov-
cry of the missing iewelry, and the
very next day Chinaman gave infor-
nation that he had found it in one
of the water closets. 1t was handed
over to the purser pending further of
fetal investigation, which will prob
ably take place at Shanghai.

REVISED TREATIES.

The japanese press, and especially
the Mainichi, has been devoting con-
siderable time and space to the subject
of the revised treaties, which will
soon go into effect. When these are
carried out foreign enterprises may be
carried on in the interior of Japan,
which at present cannot be done, and
the question discussed is how this will
be regarded by the japanese. Under
the treaties there should be no unjust
discrimination between foreign and
Japanese enterprises. But there are
grave doubts in the minds of some of
the japanese statesmen not only as to
the introduction of foreign enterprises

BOHEMIA.

Race hatred has been displaying it.
The Czechs of Bohemia have been es-
pecially distinguishing themselves.
They are distinctly and bitterly anti
German. They are agitating for indie
pendence, but the method by which
they carry on their agitation is losing
for them the support of the other Sla-
vonian races of Europe. In the re-
cent riot at Prague, over eight hun
bred houses belonging to Germans
were plundered. Even the childrens
hospital was not spared, though the
mob was told that the children in il
were of their own nationality. The
staff was German, and that was suffi-
cient.
The trouble is that although the
Czech races in Austria only number
100000, in Bohemia itself they out
number the German population. All
the science, industrytsnd capital are
in German hands. The people are in.
tensely ignorant and very poor. The
lowest class of laborers that comes tC
the United States are the Bohemians
and even with the surroundings of ed
ucation which they are brought into
contact with, they remain uncoutf
and turbulent. 1t is curious thing
than in any part of Europe except
Turkey.
