ANNEXATION AND MAJORITY RULE

C ENATOR LODGE, during his effort to block
 the war revenue bill by an amendment to annex D Hawaii, said to the Senate: Tt is generally recognized principle in this country that the majority ought to rule, and any violation of that principle is travesty on justice"
 Neither the junior Senator from Massachusetts nor any one else will have the hardihood to deny that more than twothirds of the people of Hawaii exclud ing the cooles, oppose annexation. None will deny that for this opposition than two-th1rds ot the Hawaiian people are disranchised and deprived of a voice in their government. None will deny that an- nexaton is desired only by insignificant minority of the people of Hawaii. Therefore the principle of majority rule IS violated by annexation and that pol icy IS travesty on justice. It is we'll in times of storm and stress to take bearings, accept fixed principles compass and steer where they point out the
 It IS because have from the beginning insisted upon ma jorty rule that we have been accepted beacon by believers in the rights of
 Can 1t be possible that we are to declare ourselves false light to lure upon the shoals instead of gud ing to safe anchorage in quiet waters :?
 Can we contend that believe in majority rule for ourselves and adopt its opposite for othersF Can 1t be possible that power be used in helping small minorties in other countries to throttle the HfdJOIlly ueStIOy autonomy, transfer sovereignty shift allegiance and and convert public property? Can stand this principle of majority rule and consent of the governed at home and by inn perial power violate it everywhere abroad? Are to make it mission to COW and browbeat jortes into silence while minortes steal govern ments and transfer countries to our flag?
 If so our methods will go into history as infamous beyond expression.
 How can any American tolerate the proposition to take Hawaii from Dole's minority oligarchy and not as the offer of majority of the people :?
 How any American retain his sef-respect while pretending to follow in Hawaii the Texas precedent while refusing to Hawaans the privilege given to Texans of vote by all of the people upon the trans fer of their allegiance?
 Senator Lodges plea for majority rule in the Sen ate is the decisive condemnation of the purpose for which that Senatorial majority is to be used
 There is but justhsbe rule between men and among nations and that is the rule of right and of justice. We are before the world as the champion of that rule against Spain. Can look the world in the face and dehantly violate it ourselves?

A FOOLISH POLICY.

ID Y reason of the hostile attitude assumed by the h Parisian press toward the United States in the D war with Spain there has grown up in this country responsive feeling of hostility which, among other forms of expression, has developed opposi- ton toward the Paris exposition of Iooo It is said an effort is being made to induce Congress to pro- vide no appropriation for exhibit from this country at the exposition and that further efforts will be made to induce the various States and individuals to ignore that great undertaking of French enterprise.
 It would be difficult to find large scale better
 illustration than this of that foolish policy known as cutting off the to spite the face. An exhibition of American products at Paris in 1900 would not De for the benefit of France but for that of the United States. We have not proposed an appropriation of money for such an exhibit of any sentimental re- gard for the French but out of strictly business gard for ourselves If we make the exhibit we will profit by it. If do not make 1t will lose that opportunity to make known to the world the variety and quality of the articles we have for sale. Other people will get the markets and we will get nothing.
 French hostility has taken form that has been doubtedly irritating We had right to expect better things of race that has at all times posed as cham pion of liberty and humanity. The gibes of Parsian wits and the denunciatons of boulevard critics have not been pleasant to read and we have naturally felt inclined to retaliate. There ways by which such retaliatons can be made effective, but the proposed scheme for ignoring the exposition not of the

SAN FRANCISCO HOSPITALITY,

The unexpected atten- tions shown. and contributions of needful articles made will never be forgotten bv the soldiers, and the memories of their reception here cannot help making them better soldiers in times of trial. It will make them realize, too, that location does not affect the feeling of true American ism-that Americans wherever the old flag waves are the same. And in this connec- tion the people of the interior cannot give too much credit to the generous people of San Francisco and the noble Red Cross women for the splendid work they are doing.-Nisalia Delta.

When the exposition opens will be thronged by artisans merchants and busi- ness men of every class and of every cline. The people whose industry is represented there will not be conspicuous by its absence In the vast null titude of exhibits of all kinds it will not be noticed that anything is lacking and those not there will simply have lost the opportunity for display.
 It to be hoped the project to induce Congress to refuse appropriation for the American exhibit will be dropped. We may owe France snub in return for her insults but the snub must not be given in way that will hurt ourselves than will hurt France It would be better revenge send her exposition such exhibit of fruits wines and other articles of luxury as would take her trade away from her for our enrichment.

 and when his priceless Stradivarius was not in use it was enveloped In the silken covering.
 That was before present hostilities ex- ,sted between the United States and Spain. But when the relations between the two Governments became strained. Ysaye, who has acquired great love for
 our country, thought that it would be
 traitorous to use the hated coiors Of spain
 for his violin cover, but being a consci- entious fellow and having high regard for the donor he did not particularly. care to discard the gift.
 Finally when he reached this city. with Gerardy to play local engagement, he was taking stroll one afternoon and happened to see magnificent silk flag in a show window and the thought imme-
 diately dawned upon him to have it con- yerted into a cover for his beloved in- strument, and the transformation was forthwith accomplished. That night he appeared at the theater and just before going on the stage the patriotic artist opened his violin case and disclosed to view "Old Glory which he waved in satisfied glee, and three suppressed cheers behind the scenes was the result, in which the maestro heartily joined.
 The next night Gerardy, not to be out done by his associate, took off the outer
 cover of his violoncello, and there sur rounding his instrument was another silken American flag, and the cheers that
 followed were not quite as suppressed as those in the first instance. The artists de- clare that since the stars and stripes
 have been utilized to cover their instru-
 ments the resultant music appears to
 have increased in fervor and strength and Ysava is dacidadlv pleased at the

EUROPE SUBSIDIES.

FOR time at least Europe has subsided. The
 suggestions of possible intervention to prevent the dismemberment of the colonial empire of Spain, of which heard so much when the war broke out, are now of nrequent occurrence, and when put forth at all are made in minor tone. No gives further heed to them. The contest is but little more than fairly begun, and yet 1t has already disposed of important issue It has made clear that the ac- tons of the United States either in peace or in war are not to be subject to European interference.
 The speedy elimination of this factor from our con 1ict with Spain has been due undoubtedly in large to the position taken in regard to it by Great Britain and to the bold uterances of Salisbury and Chamberlain. Nevertheless it would probably have been disposed of just as effectuay had those states men been silent. The course taken by the Govern ment at Washington has shown in most unmstak able way that will deal with Spain as interests require and will not turn aside in any respect for fear favor of any other nation concert of nations.
 The preparations made for following up the victory of Admiral Dewey by sending to Manila an army sufficiently strong to occupy, conquer and hold the islands effective notice Europe that interer ence will not be permitted We are prepared to ac- cept all the responsibilities that follow the events of the war If by the overthrow of Spanish force we leave the subjects the commercial interests of any nation exposed to raids and spoliaton able to re-establsh law and protect them The star spangled banner will guarantee the property and the
 lives of all Russian, German, French British or other persons in the Philippines No foreign Government shall have any excuse for intervening in any way whatever.
 The powers of Europe have evidently recognized the true nature of the situation and submissive to it. We hear now and then of some newspaper trade against the United States and occasionally the angry uterance of some captain of foreign ship in the West Indies denouncng us for course there, but we hear more of those efforts on the part of the powers to arrange for concert of action, which so common at the beginning of the war The active interference statesmen have subsided. The European
 ngo has collapsed.
