HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.

The Hawaiian question antedates the
war with Spain. A protest against the
scheme to involve this country in the
questionable policy, the dangerous con-
duct, of a war for conquest does not lie
against the proposition to annex the
Sandwich islands. They are independ-
ent; they ask to be made a part of this
nation; no force is needed, except to
subdue Tom Reed and the sugar trust
while the welding is in progress.
To take the Philippines by force and
hold them for any other than the pur-
pose of securing indemnity from their
owner would be contrary to the policy
of this government, an admission that
the declaration of war is false, a con-
fession of hypocrisy, a violation of a
moral law to which this nation has
ever held, that the strong should not
take from the weak more than is due,
even though it have the power and the
opportunity to take all it wants.
But there are reasons for the annex
alton of Hawaii, besides the fact that
Hawaiians are favorable. In all prob
ability this republic may emerge from
the present war with broader ideas
and new ideals. There may be an eff
fort to make this great maritime ma
ton, to extend its trade, to tear down
the wall of commercial restriction with
which it has been surrounded, to reach
out as England has reached, for bust
ness and gathered wealth from every
corner oe the world.
Whether this is to be accomplished
While the policy of a trust-creating
tariff prevails is by no means certain.
But the twin policies which have CEN
built up immense fortunes on the one
hand and kept down the masses of the
people on the other, are surely doomed.
To be ready for that time, Hawaii
should be made a part of this country
1t is a strategic point of great i'm
portance; a market for American goods,
a sentinel in the sea to guard our ma
tional interests, a frontier barracks, as
it were, from which our agents of civ
ilization and the defenders of the west
ern coast may watch and protect our
growing trade.
For present purposes, as a tempo
rary relief while sending expeditions to
the Philippines, they are invaluable.
This makes immediate annexation not
only desirable, but necessary. And our
future needs and advantages demand
that they should eventually, if not now,
become a part of the United States.

FOR STREET SPRINKLING.

The merchants of San Francisco
have concluded that the streets ought
to be sprinkled with salt water, and
they went before the street committee
of that city the other evening to urge
the matter. 1t is proposed there for
sanitary purposes, and the idea seems
to be a good one.
Salt water is convenient for coast
cities, and its use upon the streets
would not be expensive. And the
Chronicle contends that to deluge the
thoroughfares two or three times a
week during the summer months with
water direct from the ocean, San Fran
cisco would be one of the healthiest
cities on the globe"
Salt Lake could take advantage of
this scheme, if there is any advantage
in it, as easily as any coast town
could. And an experiment should be
made for two or three reasons. Salt
is healthful; it will destroy germs in
the sewers as it washes through them;
it will preserve dampness and, after
few applications, would aid in the eff
fectual abatement of the dust nui-
sance; it would lessen the sprinkling
work and tighten expenses in this
item.
Salt water could probably be pumped
from the lake at a nominal cost, and
it would not only be valuable for
sprinkling the streets and flushing the
sewers every few days, but in con-
fagrations of magnitude, for salt is a
good extinguisher.
There could be no harm in making
an experiment, in taking a section of
street somewhere and using salt water
on it for a while in order to observe
its effect and desirability.

was Henry Clay Caldwell. now residing

piled that Mr. Caldwell was perfectly
satisfactory but that he would appoint
no man for the Office who parted his
name in the middle
He produced newspapers from Iowa and
letters which referred to H. Clay Cald-
Well This foppishness the president
considered a disqualification for office.
Representative Wilson replied: He does
not sign his name that way. He is not
responsible for the way the papers write
his name Look at this" The Repre-
sentative took from his pocket a letter
signed H c. Caldwell Mr.. Lincoln
looked at it. was satisfied that Mr.. Cald-
well did not part his name in the mid
die, and at once signed his commission
as judge Mr.. Lincoln's little prejudice
might have prevented the country from

New York World: The first expedition
of our troops will be due at Manila about
the first week in July. This will be after
the close of the season of severest heat,
which lasts from April to June. By the
time the troops reach Manila steady and
strong southerly monsoons will be blow
ing over Luzon, with some refreshing eff
feet, although. as these winds are laden
with moisture. the air will be very humid
The average temperature in the city of
Manils: during July and August is usually
so degrees Fahrenheit, but as the sun
is much obscuredis by clouds in these
months the maximum temperatures are
apparently not excessive. The rainfall at
Manila in July and August averages
respectively about Is and 10 inches,
though in the whole of July as much as
2S.19 inches has been in some years re-
corded. A short distance inland the rain
fall is probably less torrential. except at
elevated points. peculiarly exposed to the
monsoon. In the second invasion of
Burmah, in 1852, the British forces. after
making some progress in April, sus-
pended their operations until the close of
the rainy season, in October.
