How the Vote Came Up.
early in todays session of the senate
conferences of the leaders on both sides
OF the chamber were held and a tacit agree
ment that vote should be taken tomorrow
or Friday at the latest. The opponents
OF annexation practically had concluded
their arguments and they had no de-
sire to keep the senate in session by purely
dilatory tactics. hey announced their will
| ingness that a vote should be taken as
soon as Mr.. White Mr. Pettigrew and
Mr.. Allen had finished their speeches.
Neither Mr.. White nor Mr.. Pettgrew
spoke at great length. but Mr.. Allen
thought that when he began. his speech
might occupy the remainder Of the day and
part of tomorrow. However, he con
cludcd to eliminate Il part of the matter
he had prepared and at 4:15 he completed
his speech
1t was evident instantly that a vote
was at hand. The word passed swiftly
through the corridors and committee rooms
ana in q few minutes every senator at the
capitol was in his seat. The galleries filed
rapidly and members of the house Of rep

Unfair to Hawaii,

For the United States to neglect to act
decisively on the Haw allan annexation
proposition without further delay would
be in the highest degree unfriendly to the
Hawaiian government, placing it in an
awkward, embarrassing and perhaps dan
gerous position with respect to some Of the
other powers. This country cannot afford
to permit such a blot to fall upon it's rec
ord. 1t has led Hawaii into believing that
annexation would be accomplished, by
treaty or by resolution. 1t has developed
a majority in its legislature for the plan.
1t has blazed the way clearly for union,
and Hawaii has been led to adopt an atti-
tude of invitation and of friendliness in
consistent with neutrality. The ever-shift-
ing panorama of the campaign may at any
moment produce acute crisis pivoting
upon the relations of Hawaii to the United
States. The powers may find themselves
Unexpectedly with ground for protest
against further acts of sympathy and aid
for the United States on the part Of Ha-
wall Who will have the right to enter a
counter protest? The situation Is fast be-
coming dangerously complex, and the only
solution possible under the circumstances
is annexation, speedily accomplished.

blinds for the Trust.

Some OF those who oppose the annexation
of Hawaii are doubtless inspired by sincere
motives. They may be honestly unable to
appreciate the great advantages of the
project. the urgent necessities of union.
They may base their objections upon the
narrow grounds of state policy that have
been far outgrown by this nation in its
wonderful growth and development But
these sincere opponents of annexation can
not fail to be contaminated by the evil
associations surrounding them 1t Is no.
tOrious that the sugar trust influence DOM
mates in this situation. This powerful,
withdrawing organiza ton is manipulate
ing the various agencies of antagonism in
the hope of postponing and perhaps ulti-
mately defeating the acceptance of the
offer of union that Hawaii has extended.
The more upright and sincere are the rela-
lively few who oppose the plan from mo-
tives of sO-called craftsmanship the holder
becomes the trust in its Vaccinations. 1t
seems to believe that it is hidden from the
public view by the shelter of these few
legislators who thus foolishly permit them
selves to be used as stalking horses. No
amount of Incorporating will suffice to fool
the American people into believing that the
defeat of the annexation project is either
wise or safe. The popular demand for the
acquisition of these islands was never SO
strong as today, when the course of events
has demonstrated beyond cavil the absolute
necessity Of such an outpost Hawaii.
Events are powerful arguments. Theories
Otter convince and lead men into wise
courses But when theories and facts con-
cur in the unmistakable logic of demon
stration the time is ripe for action. The
sugar trust may as well stand forth from
beneath its fiimsy cover of the uprightness
OF a few men and fight in the open 1t is
beaten in point of numbers already. The
votes are at hand to annex Hawaii. The
opportunity is just now controlled in the
House by the Speaker and by a small
coterie in the Senate. These few elements
cannot forever dam up the tide of public
insistence- Sooner later it will break
forth and sweep away everything that now
opposes.

The people of the United States not only
spring from a colonizing stock, but, in a
way. they have done some highly success

once, and have absorbed into their political
system people of many nationalities. Every
thing has gone on smoothly enough, be-

There are reasonable objections to the

Philippines, the conversion of whose mil
lions of Asiatic population into voting
Americans would be a most formidable
task. and at the Proper time these ob1ec-
ticns will receive very serious considera-
ton from the American people But lack
of the colonizing spirit and capacity In
Americans is not among these objections.

Europe and America.

If no other reason existed why we are
not likely to encounter continental Europe
in this quarrel with Spain, Spain's tireless
efforts to drag Europe in would give us Il
feeling of security. She is altogether too
eager to spread trouble. She advertiSes
her weaknesses too freely and conspicuous
ly. She makes it too apparent that she has
gone into the war with full knowledge Of
her inability to cope with the United States
and only in the hope that some stronger
power will come to the rescue and do for
her what she is unable to do for herself.
There is no knight-errantry in Europe to-
day. Don Quixote is dead even in Spain.
Europe is engaged with very practical and
even prosaic problems. How best to sell
two boxes of merchandise where hitherto
but one has been sold engages more atten-
ton than all matters of mere sentiment
combined Hence the attention being paid to
the far east, where China alone, with four
hundred million possible customers. Is rap
idly yielding to the spell of the persuasive
drummer, with samples in one hand and
sword in the other.
But if knight-errantry were in the merid-
ian of its activity Spain could not hope for
really capable champion. Nobody of con-
sequence would ride to the relief Of an old
virago. Spain Is not winsoIne damsel in
distress, but termagant who has at last
justly been brought to book for the offenses
she has committed against her own house
hold. She is despised both by ner own and
by her neighbors, and as Prince Bismarck
has said in his blunt and direct way, She
deserves her fate"
Europe having been warned, then, both
by Spain's confession of weakness and by
the character of her cause, has good rea-
sen to hold aloof and let matters take their
natural course. We do not need semi-ofii-
clal denials of stories that Admiral Dewey
Is menaced by outsiders at Manila, or that
france is thinking of taking a lease of the
fhlnppines. Yarns like those deny them
selves. The safest gamble of the day is
that Europe will not step into Spain's shoes
now that the American purpose is SO clear
iy defined and has been so vigorously enter
ed upon.
