CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
SEATTLE. FRIDAY, JULY -


Twenty -one senators and ninety-one
representatives in the great American
congress- have gone on record against
the annexation Of Hawaii, and have
thus announced their determined advo-
cacy Of a policy of paralysis. which
shall restrain the expanding and enter
prising spirit OF our people. confirm
them In their old chronic unprepared-
ness and unreadiness to meet the
worlds emergencies, and divert them
from their imperial destiny into ways
Of international solitude, egotistical in
difference. and cankering iuaction One
OF these senators and three representa-
tives were Republicans; the remaining
los were Democrats. Populists and in
dependents One hundred and seventy
nine Republicans in the house and
thirty-three In the senate declared for
onward national progress. and pro-
claimed their abiding conviction that
the United States Is big enough and
strong enough and reliant and resource
full enough to take its proper place
among the worlds powers. Thirty
nine Democrats. Popuiists and indie
penden.s aligned themselves with the
Republicans in support OF the new
career toward which broad. intelli-
gent and aggressive Amerioanism is
directing the nation.
Is territorial expansion party ques-
ton? The vote on the Hawaiian ques-
ton clearly shows that II is. The I'M
pulses and temper of Republicans, and

States has been suddenly thrown by

The time has come around when corpor-
atoms must pay the $40 license fee to the
state. That law and the license fee re-
quired by the Federal government for
transfer of stock will wipe out all paper
companies. This will be an advantage. az
it will impose a responsibility upon stock
companies from which they had hitherto
been free.
