immediate surrender of the Monroe doc
trine That doctrine has for its preamble,
distinctly expressed, that we will not take
part in European or Asiatic land-grabbing
or seek a conquest Of non-contiguous ter

2. Because the ratification Of a treaty
of annexation would be the attempt 10
govern a people against its CONSENT which
is a monstrous violation of the principle
upon which our government Is founded.
g. Because the consDirators. who are
moving with "abhorent forces TO con-
summate their crime against an innocent
people, having constantly admitted that
the people cannot govern themselves.
A. Because they not only admit this. but
show 1t to be true, since only 1900 voters
out Of over 100000 possible voters in the
islands are allowed to vote.
g. Because we have no government ma
chinery fitted to take up, asorb and con-
tnue an oligarchy, and because the alb
sorption of the islands would practically
make for us, in spite of Lincoln's Eman-
cipation Proclamation, slave state.
g. Because the subterfuge of saying

g. Because its frail and baleful vote as
a state might be the turning point In a
heated Presidential election.
O. Because it's admission by Congress,
in spite of court decisions hitherto exclud-
ing the Chinese from citizenship, would
admit them to IL.
10. Because a prime element In our
strength as a nation, and our impregna-
bility rests upon our contiguous and COM
pact area. Stealing a group OF Islands
over 1900 miles away would destroy this
element of strength.
ii. Because the wicked connivance OF
United states marines, in the deposing OF
the rightful Queen and government ought
not to be condoned by any further barDar-
ism for which our government will be re-
sponsible.
u. Because President Mckinley said In

of our citizens are against annexation
so many, indeed, that not one of

16. Because. when President Grant wish

and which cannot be taken away from us.
49, Because the mixed Portuguese, Chi
nese. japanese, and Hawaiian people are
a most undesirable addition to a free
government.
l9. Because our wishes in respect to
Hawaii's belonging to itself will be re-
spected by other nations,
20. Because the ownership of the islands
would imply an enormous enlargement
of the navy to hold them, and an equally
expensive and portentous. enlargement of

incurable; and which would, according to
unquestioned medical authority, be dis

lions with such a country.
%. Because this disease already con-
sumes one-tenth OF the couptrys resources

and being a leper means death IN from
three to six years. Do we wish to intensity
this scourge OF the human race, and scat
ter 1t. even with the vo canoes thrown into

should be likely to send to Hawaii to make
some sort of an anomalous government
whereby we should at first try to govern it.

"a. Because our country will never need
distant territory, and should turn its at
tention, for the next thirty years at least,
to the vexed problems which modern COM
mercial progress has added to the task Of
craftsmanship.
%. Because the project of annexation is a
vile and vulgar attempt of human greed to
fruits of which are to soil hands high in
public posltion--and because the moral re-
suits of IL are scarcely less leprous than
the leprosy we are asked TO accept and ma
tionalize. Joel Benton.

Evangelist Gales was heard by large

Mr.. Gales began by saying that the text

believed by Christian and unbelievers in
Christianity alike. 1t was Whatsoever
a man soweth that shall he also reap"
The evangelist graphically told how this
was true in the history of nations, as we'll

RUN OVER BY A DRAY.
John Ray Laid Up with "A Broken
Leg Because of 1t.

John Ray, colored, living on Charlton
street, was run over by Mr.. Andrew Han
ley's delivery wagon on Bay street yester-
day morning, and had his leg broken near
the ankle. 1t is said the accident was
caused by Rays running in front of the
wagon.
DIR. j. +. Cronin and DIR. II. Brooks were
called and set the broken bone after the
wounded man was removed to his home.
only one wheel passed over the leg, though
that was sufficient to do considerable
harm, the wagon being loaded with ten
barrels of cement. The man admits he got
in front of the wagon, though the driver,
he says was not going at a very moderate
rate of speed.
