The Flag Pole Mt Honolulu.

To support Dewey we must have Homo
lulu. To maintain our flag in the Philip
pines we must raise our flag in Hawaii.
This is equally clear to the President and
his cabinet, to the generals of our army
and the admirals Of our navy. and to in
teliigent public opinion everywhere In the
United States: That opinion would sup
port and applaud President Mckinley If.
without further discussion or formality, he
should order up the American flag upon
the pole from which 1t was lowered by
Paramount Blount, acting under instruc-
tions from Grover Cleveland.

Annex Hawaii.
From the San Francisco Examiner tDen.,.

The opposition to the annexation OF the
islands Is weak In numbers. 1t consists of
the sugar trust andsthat small body of men
conscientiOusly opposed to any extension of
the domain OF the United States In any d.
rection for any purpose whatever. Every
military authority in the nation has pro-
nounced the possession OF the islands ne
cessary for our security In the Pacific. II
we are to retain any control over the
Philippines they will be absolutely essen
tial.
1t is to be hoped that the House resoiu-
that the opposition In the Senate will allow
the vote to be taken without a resort TO
filibustering tactics. There Is no doubt that
the measure has a large majority I'm both
houses OF Congress, and Hawaii should
soon be American territory.

From the San FranciscO Bulletin und).
There is no Spanish rule to overthrow in
the Hawaiian Islands, nor hostile people
to conquer. The Hawaiian Islands in the
hands Of a powerful neutral power would
place an almost insuperable barrier to the
conquest of the Philippine Islands. The
distance between San Francisco and Manila
Is greater than ordinary vessels of war can
carry coal for. From Honolulu to Manila
Is equal to the distance from an Atlantic
American city to a European port and re-
turn. Taking these facts into considera-
ton. may we not hope that Speaker Reed
will kindly permit the House to consider
the resolution to annex Hawaii?

THE SPANISH CRISIS.
Liberals Opposing General WeyIer for

LONDON, Dec. 26-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Standard says: ''Senor Sa-
gasta's illness has brought to a standstll
the political crisis and the negotiations for
the reorganization of the Liberal party.
Many Liberals ere opposed to General Wey-
lers becoming minister Of war, because they
fear he will aspire to succeed Sagasta as
leader of the party. Ell Liberal publishes an
interview with Weyler, in the course of
which he is represented as declining to give
any information regarding the crisis, but as
insisting on the necessity for a strong gov
ernment. Such a government could not, he
said, be drawn from party led by Senior
Silvela. General Weyler limited that the
country would run great risks unless power
were placed in the hands of a Sagasta- -Wey-
Ter coalition government.
THE Bank of Spain has ceased to make
advances on Philippine and Cuban bonds,
and has asked a supplemental guarantee for
previous advances, owing to the decline in
the value Of the bonds. The government has
arranged with Madrid and Barcelona bank
ers to advance the amount needed for the
service of those bonds in January"

LEXINGTON, Ky, Dec. 25.-The worst
wreck in this vicinity in ten years occurred
in the suburbs, near Peppers distillery, at
o'clock this afternoon. A Louisville & Nash

molished and the wreck was carried three
hundred feet down the track. The Chesa-
peake & Ohio engine was run back through
the tender and the whole front beaten in.

SEYMOUR, Ind, Dec. Ex-Governor
Mount has somewhat confounded the judicial
districts in southern Indiana. He has wired
Prosecuting Attorney Thomas NJ Honan of
this city, and Judge David Alspaugh, of Sa-
lem, to use their utmost endeavors in ferret
ing out the lynchers of Marion Tyler at
Scottsburg early Saturday morning. Scotts-
burg is in another judicial district over
which Judge Willard New, of North Vernon,
presdes. The Governors mistake is proba-
bly, attributed to the fact that this county
has at numerous times had lynchngs bees
within its borders, but in this case its in
habitants are not guilty of this serious in
fraction of the law. The lynching of Tyler
is still the all-absorbing theme of converse
tion, and Scottsburg has been visited by
thousands Of people, who have been drawn
there through morbid curiosity. The people
of the town have undergone a remarkable
change since yesterday morning, when
everybody was willing to talk and tell what
they knew of the lynching. To-day the same
parties, who supplied the information Sat-
urday, and who then said that the mob was
composed of residents of Scottsburg, say
that the mob came from Washington county.

SHARKEY THE FAVORlTE.
Betting 800 to 500 that He VIII De-
feat Mccoy.

NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-Tom Sharkey rules
favorite in the betting for his twenty-round
bout with Kid Mccoy, at the Lenox Athletic
Club next month. The sailor. according TO
the latest odds. is the choice at 100 to 30, but
the Kids admirers are so numerous that it
would not be surprising if he ruled favorite
before the men enter the ring. The most
important wager placed on the big fight
since the men signed articles was $1,000 to
5000 on Sharkey, Joe Vendg taking the short
end. Vendig refused to give the name of the
Sharkey man.
The fact that Mccoy was slight favorite
a few days ago in the betting would indi-
cate that the coming contest will be one of
the betting events of the season. 1t is un-
derstood that many commissions are out to
be placed on Sharkey, but that they will be
withheld until Mccoy takes the lead in the
betting again. The sporting fraternity likes
the Kids chances with Sharkey, and when
the proper time comes will bet accordingly.

SCOTTSBURG, Ind, Dec. 25.-The excite
ment in this place caused by the lynching
of Marion Tyler yesterday is quieting down
and people are beginning to realize the
enormity of the crime. 1t is now the thing
to condemn the action of the mob.
On the Sd of November last when Marion
Tyler made the assault on his wife and the
Intellectual attempt at suicide public seati-
ment was very bitter and there was talk
of mob vengeance. From that time until
about three weeks ago guards were kept
in the Jail at night and nurse attended 10
his wants during the day. This was consid-
cred necessary because of his supposed dam
gerous condition from the effects of his
wounds and a desire on the part Of the
sheriff TO Illustrate any designs of a mob.
Tyler sufficiently recovered to be able to be
up. and Mrs. Tyler was able to so on visit
to relatives in Washington county last week.
Both icing in a fair way TO recover their
usual strength ard health. public interest
seemed to die out. What caused the mob's
carefully planned action can only be guessed
at There was no reason TO believe that
Tyler would escape punishment for his crime.
He was comparatively a stranger here,
without money and without wealthy and in
fluential friends to assist him to escape jus
tice. For years the courts of this county
have had the reputation of letting no guilty
one escape.
One reason hinted at for the Iynching is
that trial of Tyler would have brought out
some sort of evidence that would have been
disagreeable to other persons. What this
may have been is not told. Another story is
to the effect that Tyler's friends talked too
much in his behalf. He had some very warm
friends. who seldom missed an opportunity
to speak a word in his behalf. They did
not uphold him in his crime, but thought
he deserved a fair and impartial trial. This
had its weight, and it is told that an at
tempt was to be made to have him released
on bond No one has been found who is will
ing to admit that he knows anything about
the attempt to have Tyler released OH bond
Whether true or false the story is believed
by many to have had some effect on melting
the mob.
It is hard matter to fully determine the
public opinion in this matter. Those who
are willing to talk are divided although
nearly all agree that the mob committed a
cold-blooded murder for which there was no
cause at all.
From expressions heard it seems to be the
general belief that the mob was formed out
side of this county, yet q few appear to be-
leve it was formed within the county, and
that even some citizens OF this town were
members. 1t appears to be the general be-
lief that any attempt to bring the lynchers
to justice would end in utter failure, yet the
good citizens feel that it is the duty of the
county officials to do everything in their
power
