SHIPS THAT PASS.

Another "ne1t" steamer has ar
rived and yet our "sure thing"
friends received no tidings of the
passage Of the joint resolution which
is to consummate the steal of the Ha-
waiian Islands by the American
nation, who heretofore in its deal
ings with the world has enjoyed the
honor and respect Of all civilized
people.
The "ships that pass in the
night" are getting very numerous,
and we suggest that the Legislature
pass a salary for Popcorn and his
clique to act as "look outs" and
catch the next steamer, which we
have repeatedly heard of during the
past FIVE years,
Another count of noses has been
held in the Senate, and now the
good and great Thurston is sure of
sixty votes for annexation. If he has
got 'em again, why does he not urge
the passage of the original treaty in
stead OF bothering with the joint
resolution which may be embarrass-
ing eventually in Washington as
well as in Hawaii? Among the
"sure" men he counts Senator Sulli-
van. There is no senator of that
pugilistic name who evidently must
represent the State of Nomansland.
II the other fifty-nine are of the
same quality as senator" Sullivan
the prospects are, that the fourth of
July will be celebrated in Honolulu
while the Hawaiian flag still flies
over the town.

stance, for a plan OF government
that will fit Hawaii like a glove.
Above all, let us not have half a
dozen different systems of territorial
rule. The one we have is broad
enough to cover every condition
with merely change in punctuation
and let us abide with it as far as
possible. The tranquility of the
Republic lie due to the uniformity of
its laws and governing systems, and
patriotism and wisdom unite in ad-
vising that that uniformity be not
lightly disturbed.-S. r. Chronicle,

A Government for Hawaii.

While there may be nothing amiss
in that feature of the annexation
resolutions of the House providing
for the appointment of commission
OF five persons, two OF them to be
natives OF the annexed territory, to
devise plan of government for the
Hawaiian Islands, we cannot but
feel that there is danger that such a
commission, unrestricted by instruc-
tions, may assume the responsibility
of formulating scheme OF govern
ment unnecessarily at variance with
the territorial forms long in vogue
in the United States, and with
which our people have become ia
miliar. The general territorial gov.
erning system Of the Republic -
slightly varying in detail to meet
the requirements Of differing local
condtions-is the best form OF
territorial government ever devised
by man.
The territories occupy the posi-.
ton OF wards OF the General Gov,
ernment, awaiting growth and ad-
vancement to the greater dignity OF
statehood; yet in that political
capacity, in which is seen the foster
ing hand OF the Government, their
people are accorded home rule, a
voice in the lower house OF Congress
and so many exemptions from tax
and other public burdens as to rem
der statehood scarcely a boon to
them. The government of no state
in the Union runs as noiselessly and
with as little friction as that of the
average territory, and it has been
the political rather than the in
dustrial element OF every territory
that has been the first and most
persistent to elamor for its admis-
sion into the Union.
A Washington correspondent-we
hope without authority-says the
form Of the Hawaiian Government
after annexation "will be the same
as that of Alaska, with the difference
perhaps, that California laws may
be made operative in the new terri
tory" This is mere bungling guess
work. Neither the Alaskan terri
torial form nor the laws OF Califor-
MIA would be adapted to the gov
ernment Of Hawaii And, besides,
if the formulation of a plan OF gov
ernment is to be left to commission
which has not yet been appointed,
how can the correspondent possibly
know what is likely to be done in
the premisesi This is bad enough,
but the coupling OF a state code
with territorial form as crude as
that of Alaska is still worse.
1t will not be necessary to go to
Alaska for form of government for
Hawaii, or to California for its laws
All the laws required may be found
among the statutes OF the little isl.
and republic, and the commission
should it ever be named, need not
look beyond New Mexico, for in

Rally at the Anchor.

When the whistle sounds an
nouncing the arrival OF the soldiers
who go to the battle field, remember
that in the Anchor Saloon the re-
freshments the boys want will be
found on tap. The Book Beer served
in the Anchor cannot be beaten

verdict.

The resolution passed in the
House in regard to the political
prisoners, liberated on parol, de-
serves the greatest honor and gives
credit to the member who fathored
it. We feel convinced that the
Senate will concur in the resolution,
but we doubt whether the Executive
in whose power the full pardon lies
will take the slightest notion of the
expressed wishes of the two branch
es Of the Legislature after they have
been prorogued. When a U. S.
military governor sits in the Execu-
tive chair in the palace and Dole
& Co. have been relegated TO
inocuous dissuetude the resolu-
tion which has been passed in
the interest OF fairness and justice
aud honor may have some effect,
even if Mr.. w. o. Smith opposes the
sentiments expressed by it, and is
supported by such men as Mr.. Gear
aud Mr.. Richards.
