BEFORE congress adjourned the bill
for the annexation of Hawaii became
a law, and now these islands are a part
Of the United States. There was a
fierce fight made against annexation,
Int when IL came to a vote in the SEN
ate II was found that that body stood
two to one In favorO OF annexation. This
Is the seventh time that the United
States has increased It's territory since
tue signing Of the Declaration OF Inde
pcndence, one hundred and twenty
two years ago. In 1903 the Louisiana
purchase was made, in 1919 Florida
was coded by Spain, in 1916 Texas was
annexed, in 1s4S California was taken
as an indemnity from Mexico, in 1858
this section was purchased from Next
co by Gadsden, and In 1867 Alaska was
purchased from Russia. Within a
short time the Philippine Islands, the
Ladrones, the Carolinas, and Porto
Rico will be a portion Of the United
States, wrested from Spain, as an in
denrnity for the present war, and Cuba
will be under a protectorate, super
tised by the United States. This
country has now struck a growing
streak, and there is no telling what
the result in the next few years will
be. The president has appointed Q
commission consisting Of Senator Cul
lum and Representative Hit OF Hi
nOis, Senator Morgan of Alabama, anC
President Dole and Chief Justice
Judd OF Hawaii, as a committee u
prepare a plan for the government o
the Islands. The plan adopted for thu
government OF these Islands will prob
ably also be adopted for the govern
ment OF all the colonial possession

THE Chicago papers had a great
time last week. The st%ereotypers de-
manded an increase OF pay, which the
papers refused aud they threatened TO
Stop work. The papers had an agree
ment with the allied printers trades
nf Chicago that matters OF difference
should be arbltrated, and there should
be no strike nor lockout without a

ference to the st~ereotypers, and so they
struck. The owners OF the papers

no papers we're published In Chicago.

ing no papers the publishers refused
to issue any bulletins and the city OF
nearly two million people was left 10

YELLOW JOURNALISM seems to have
affected this enire country, as
State legislatures as well as Cor
gress have apparently gone wild
because, owing to the dereliction Of
somebody aboard the Maine, that
ship was destroyed in the harbor OF
Havana, and are passing resolutions for
Investigations, for increasing appropria-
lions for war purposes, rendering
troops to the government to "repel for
eigu invasion" and thanking public Of
ficers for doing what their plain du:y
compelled them to do. Every right
thinking man deplores the fate OF those
who suffered by the loss of the Maine,
but men who join the army and navy
take TIER lives in their hands, and, be-
cause they lose them, is no sufficient
reason why thousands of their country
men should lose theirs also. If Wal
should come, the contractors would
profit, but the number of those VIII
are advising war, who would shoulder
muskets, unless given a bounty for
doing so, is matter of considerable
dOubi.

The Maine Disaster.

Maine was nit by torpedo after which
the magazine exploded. Thomas
Melville, who was not injured and was
on watch on the quarterback, said that
be felt two shocks. The first was not
as severe as the second which blew up
the ship Other survivors are of the
same opinion that it was foul work. A
submarine diver of Key West has been
telegraphed for from Havana by Consul
General Lee and Captain Sigsbee and
will 60 over Immediately to dive under
the Maine and discover the cause of the
disaster. The flagship New York is
now anchored off the bay awaiting in
structions from Washington.
All the wounded of the Maine are
now doing well. The Bache left for
the Cruiser New York his morning
with divers and paraphernalia on board.
she will take more divers from the
New York and will then proceed to

aster, says there is no truth in the re-
port that a smoking object was seen ap
preaching the Maine just before the eg.

FRIDAY EVENING. FEB. IS, 1858

THE House of Delegates yesterday
passed the bill providing that among
tie studies of the public schools shall
be included that which teaches the et-
feet of alcohol upon the human system.
AS the effect OF morphine, chloral, CO.
caine and other stimulating drugs
upon the human system, is Infinitely
more Injurious than that of alcohol,
WHY that also should not be taught in
the public schools, the members of The
legislature can not tell. However, as
they are paid for staying in Richmond
three months, and as they refuse to
consume any of that time in the enact
ment Of measures to retrench the eX'
peuses of the State, they, naturally, to
them. imagine they must do something
10 earn their pay, and so they while
away the days in passing such freakish
bills as that referred to, which can ber-
eft nobody except the publisher whose
books on the effects of alcohol may be
adopted for the use of the schools. And
then, too, after all such teaching, some
pert pupil will give the teacher sock
doIager by asking if the effect of liquor
be so deleterious, why is it that so many
people who drink it, live such long
