A recent addition to the evening dress
which has short sleeves or only a butter
fly puff is the high-arm bracelet of vel
vet. Take narrow black velvet ribbon
which will slip through your small jet
buckles, or any small gold clasps you
may happen to own. and have bands
fitted close enough to stay on your arm
above the elbow. A neat bow is the
usual finish. Two of these bracelets are
worn on each arm, high enough above the
elbow not to be covered by a long NOUS
cuetafre glove. Cut steel buckles are
often used, and as they look as If they
were borrowed from ones slippers, the
jet or jeweled slides are considered more
elegant.
Y An excellent porch curtain for piazzas
that arc somewhat limited in size and
may not harbor the useful rattan screen,
is made of striped cotton canvas, like
that used for awnings. This is fringed
ON the lower edge and is put up to the
upper cross beam of the porch railing
by brass rings. Through these rings runs
a manila rope, by which it is easy to adj

than the bamboo piazza shade, as It not
only tempers the sunlight, but keeps off
a strong wind or a sudden summer shower
that may try to interrupt some piazza

Manila. They would then have had a
convenient base for supplies, coal and
repairs, from which to actively harry
ana devastate our coast But were we
in complete possession of the Hawaiian
islands, and they properly prepared for
defense (Which eminent officers of the
army and navy stated to the committee
could be done at cost Of $500 000), our
fleet. even if pressed by a greatly su-
perior sea power, would have an inn
pregnable refuge at Pearl harbor,
backed by a friendly population and
militia, with all the resources of the
large city of Honolulu and a small but
fruitful country. Holding this all-im-
portant strategic point, the enemy
could not remain in that part of the
Pacific. thousands of miles from any
base, without running out of coal suf-
iicient to get back to their own possess
sions. The islands would secure both
our fleet and our coast"
In this view the committee has eX-
pert support. General Schofield, for
instance, as5erts that annexation would
eConomize rather than increase our
naval force in the Pacific, and he ex-
plains this by saying that with Hawaii
made impresnable by shore batteries,
the warships which we should now
have to keep in Hawaiian waters to
guard against Hawaii's capture by an
enemys fleet would be liberated for use
elsewhere. General Schofeld is corrOb-
GRATED in this opinion by Admiral Wal
ker, Captain Mahan and all the other
eminent strategists in the navy. 1t is
this we occupy by lease merely, sub
jeCt to cancellation after one years
notice. Were any foreign power to get
hold of the islands the present lease
would he speedily ignored in the event
of war, and we should have confronting
us the problem Of how to mass ships
enough between San Diego and Port
land to protect the Pacific coast, which
an enemys fleet could attack at the
point that pleased it best. Four Span
ish cruisers lying a few hundred miles
south of Cuba keep our whole Atlantic

imagine these cruisers at Hawaii, aim
ing at our western coast line, and the
perpleXity which would ensue can be
appreciated.
There is ample warrant for Hawai-
ian annexation i'm the commercial ad-
Nantages it would bring to us; but the
case for annexation becomes irresisti-
bic when we study it in the light of re-
cent military experiences

the people Of Newark in parliament.
No less remarkable is the circum-
stance that Mr.. Gladstone's first speech
in parliament was in opposition to a
bill advocating the abolition of slav-
cry. Mr.. Gladstones emancipation
from the tenets OF the stern and un-
blending Tory party to the leadership
of the great and reforming Liberal
party is part of the history of Eng
land SO are the innumerable meas
ures which he advocated or which
have become the law of his country
through his advocacy or Instrumental
ity. The repeal of the paper tax
which gave England a free and un-
trammeled press, the ballot box, finan-
cial reforms, the abolition of purchase
in the army, the Irish lands laws and
various other measures Of constitution
al and social reform bear the imprint
OF his consummated legislative labors.
The last years of Mr.. Gladstone's life
were devoted to the Irish Home Rule
movement, the last months of it in de-
nunciation of the atrocities in Armenia
of the unspeakabe Turk. The
tribune who aroused Europe in the
days of the Bulgarian massacres to a
sense of it's Christian obligation could
not do so now. The great Powers
concerted for other purposes than
chastisement of the Great Assassin.
They were engaged with all the
seeming solicitude Of family ply
ST ,ians at the bedside of the shamming
valetudinarian Of the Yildiz Kiosk
Since he resigned the premiership and
his seat in parliament Mr.. Gladstone
wished the world to believe him pO-
litically dead. His Countrymen for the
most part respected his wishes. There
are great names associated with the
prime ministers of England, great in
war and peace, great in the councils
Of their soVereigns and the affections
of the English people but none greater
and none equal, none aCtuated by the
same unselfsh and unblemished mo-
tives as were presented in the char
actcr and career of William Ewart
Gladstone.

The report of the house committee
on foreign affairs on the Newlands
joint resolution for the annexation OF
Hawaii is document which ought to
be read by every intelligent citizen.
The case ii makes out for annexation
is unansWerable.
After showing that for more than
fifty years the inability Of Hawaii to
maintain a stable and independent eX~
istence has heen manifest and has led
the ruling and representative classes
among the inhabitants of those islands
to favor annexation by the United
States, and after making it clear that
the request for such annexation is one
which these Hawaiians are morally
and legally free TO make, it takes up
the question whether the proposed dis
position would be advantageous TO this
country, The committees affirmative
answer is based on several convincing
reasono, but Of these we need stop at
this time to consider one only, namely,
the inestmable importance to the Unit
ed States Of such possession in time of
strategic importance of the Hawaiian
islands is vastly increased in the COM
mittee's opinion, by the fact that they
are separated by thousands of miles
from any other and more distant group
in the northern Pacific ocean and are
the only group facing our coast. In
the possession of an enemy they would
serve as a secure base for attacking
any and all of our Pacific coast cities.
In our possession they would deprive
the enemy's fleet of all facilities for
coaling, supplies or repairs, and speed
lily paralyze all his naval operations.
The committee adds;
Had the war in which we are now
engaged been with any of the other
powers they might have worsted our
fleet and seized the Hawaiian Islands,
which are not now defended by any
fortiieatiOn or cannon, thus exactly
reversina our recent good fortune at

The Outlook ON nous .

Two weeks from today the Republi-
cans of Pennsylvania, through their
delegates at Harrisburg, will nominate
candidate for governor. The pre-
liminary canvass has been marked by
unprecedented acrimony among the
fractional leaders and by uneXampled
apathy among the people. What will
the harvest be?
Last fan belligerent parson, rum
ming on platform that condemned
in unmeasured terms the influences
now controlling the Republican organ
izatiOn i'm this commonwealth, pOlled
nearly 10000 votes and his personally
unobjectionable adversary. because set
up by those influences, received less
than majority of the total vote cast.
The year before the Republican ma
jority in Pennsylvania was within a
few votes of 3OO,0OO
Thus far this year nothing has oc-
CURED to reconcile to organization
methods any considerable number of
the Republicans who voted for Swal-
low. On the contrary. many things
have occurred to increase their dis
satisfaction and to breed unrest among
other Republicans. The campaign of
Mr.. Wanamaker has put fire in the
tow in every county in the common
wealth. What he has not accom-
plished in this respect has been
achieved by the defiant manner in
which the machinery of the state COM
mittee has been used to further the
interests of particular candidate,
now avowedly slated for the guberna-
tOrial nomination.
This candidate, Colonel stone, will
he nominated two weeks hence if Sem
ator Quay persists in urging him; but
his nomination will come along the
Identical lines that cost General Beav-
or the election in 1882 and defeated
Delamater eight years later. Whether
in that event history will exhibit a
third repetition is something which no
mortal can say; but the man must be
possessed of an optimistic disposition
who does not feel that the outlook Is

now LOOKS IN MEXICO.

From the Mexican Herald.
1t is q remarkable spectacle. this evo-
luton, in a few months time, of new
world policy for the great republic. The
Americanism of bluff and buncomoe
gives way to the higher AmeriCansm
as outlined by Tllden, that of nation,
pussant among the peoples of the EARTH
rich beyond compare and girded for bat
tie. The Spanish war comes in the course
OF Providence to awaken the dormant ag-
sressiveness and virile qualities of a
great people. Better far a Caesar than
the dry rot of political corruption and
the impudent purchase of Legislators, bet
ter the sword than the steaithy methods
of the MOI opOlists The present war is
an incident; the progress of the huge ma
ton to the north of Mexico is assured /;
nothing can retard it, and il will soon
number 100000, 900 people, and will go on
to double that size holding together prob
ably, under CON nonsense interpreta-
ton of its constitution, the central gov
ernment becoming more efficient and pow
erful, while not cramping local initiative
by unwse Capitalization. Giving the
American people free play for all their
activities and holding to high, imperial
conception of the mission Of the nation,
the United States will become the first
power in Christendom.

CHAMBERLAIN's COLD FACTS.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press
Secretary Chamberlain has awalled a
world echo by his speech on the Anglo
American alliance simply because his
words lit facts which all the world knows
and which all Europe lOathes to aclnowl-
edge. The resistless logic of events leads
to harmonious action between two ma
tion, each of which has nothing the other
wants. Let England give us a free hand
and help in the Americas, and inevitably
the United States is brought to a policy
which favors the "Open door ana no in
terferenCe with trade in the rest OF the
world. We need markets as much as
Great Britain, and her policy is at this
point our policy Europe may protest
but Europe is powerless against 40 oOO, 900
men of the English-speakng race, hold
ing both oceans, this continent and the
island empires of England and Australia.

one trouble seems to be that Deweys
or opportunities are scarce.
Exemplars OF the Better Class.

EX-President Harrison has requested
his friends in the senate to vote against
the confirmation of the nomination of
his son, Russell, as assistant adjutant-
general of volunteers. He has done
this because he does not believe that
appointments to any branch of the
military service should be based on
other grounds than personal and mil
itary fitness, and he is right.
An equally good example has been
set by Richard Harding Davis, who
declined n similar appointment for the
reason that he did not pretend to pos
sess the requisite military knowledge
and experience, and would not feel at
ease if the thought should come to him
that he was barring promotion to some
soldier in the regular service who did.
President Mckinley has done better
than any other war president we have
ever had in his selection of command
ing officers. The major generals and
brigadier generals nominated by him
have in every instance been men whose
fitness for arduous military RESPONSE
bility has been proved beyond the
shadow of a doubt. For the excellence
of his selections in this direction he is
entitled to unstinted praise.
1t is with regret that a tendency to
lower this high standard is noticed in
the presidents appointment of minor
officials. The sons or other relatives
of civic greatness who have been des-
ignated by him for ornamental staff
positions important chiefly on pay and
parade days may be as well able to
wear fine uniforms and sign salary
vouchers as the more experienced sub
ordinates who have earned their way
into the service through West Point;
but their addition to the rolls tends to
cheaper the army in popular estima-
tion and therefore, on a large scale, is
a mistake.
The blame probably does not rest on
the president. whose situation resem-
bles Lincoln's in that to gain large
ends he must necessarily at times
adopt questionable means. The fault
is rather in the erroneous public opin-
l'il NilNl mas 'Oillt " lCSdlA tNCi
thing done in Washington as fair prey
for the traffickers in spoils, even to
the assignment of commands which
may decide for hundreds of American
soldiers the fateful question of life or
death.
Although this condition of public
opinion is probably permanent and ir-
remediable, there is owing to eXem-
plars of the higher policy like Gen
eral Harrison and Mr.. Davis a vote Of
thanks.
