Hawaii.

While various charges and counter
charges are going the rounds as to
the underlying reason why the annex
alton of Hawaii has not been ac-
complished, or is obstructed now, the
logic of the situation is not to be es-
capped, and il is that f money were
not being used there would not be any
opposition to the measure.
There is not a solitary argument Of
any legitimate kind which can be ad-
duced against the proposition. The ma
tion is at war. II has seized the Phil
ippine Islands with the enthusiastic
consent and backing OF the American
people. They. and all of them, know
that the Philippines cannot be success
fully occupied and held without pos
session OF Hawaii. So plain is this
that Republican President has been
compelled TO tell his henchmen in the
House Of Representatives that, If they
do not emancipate themselves from the
lash and boot Of Thomas B. Reed, he
will be compelled to annex the group as
a matter CT military necessity. wi ct
arnis.'
We have seen many occasions upon
which We did not sympathize with the
Administration of Mr. Mckinley We
have never failed TO speak our mind
IN criticism or in admonition. In the
old days, before the Maine was blown
up by Spanish treachery, We felt often
compelled TO assail his policy and the
motives Of certain influences about
him Those were the days Of domestic
politics. These are times Of war. and
he Is Commander-in-Chief That We al
ways believed in the necessity for Ha-
waiiau annexation does not count II
We had always been opposed to it, as
something antagonistic to the interests
Of the Sugar Trust. we should now
support il as a national necessity. We
are sorry to observe that a number of
gentlemen whose pocketbOoks are
plethoric already, from their ability
10 draw upon the resources of the
trust, are not willing TO sacrifice a lit
tie something for the good Of the
country.
Such a position whether held IN q
private, administrative or congress
Gional capacity, IS rank Toryism. If IT
be not abandoned, the American people
viii consider and treat it as treason.
Tories and traitors are not for the
President Of the United States to tenn
porize with. His duty is plain.
Whether with or without the assist

The RnrIer Monument.

The Morning Post, of Raleigh, has
started a subscription for monument

BagIey, the first officer to fall in our
war with Spain. The Post stated eX-
plicitly that as il was thought fit that

not more than one dollar would be re-
ceived from any one person, although
those who wished to send more than
that sum could give a dollar for each

many friends as they chose. Subscrip-
tions are to be sent TO the treasurer of

The Baltimore American.

The one hundred and twenty-lfth
anniversary of the Baltimore American
will be celebrated on the 20th Of next
August, and the publisher of this his
toric sheet, Gen. Felix Agnus, has
printed a fac-simile of the first num-
Der, which appeared August 20, 1873,
under the name of the Maryland
Journal. 1t has been published contin-
uously from that day until the present
time. The leading article is an essay
on the wickedness of dueling. and is
in the form of a letter from the Bishop
of C to the Earl of Bellomont. There
is also an essay on Simplicity in
Dress" and some news items, one of
which is to the effect that the Span
iards had a strong feet setting out,
which they said was to be sent to awe
their rebellious subjects in the West
Indies.
The most interesting part Of the
paper to the average reader will prob
ably be the advertising department.
George Washington is one of the larg-
est advertisers. He offers 10000 acres
of land on the Ohio and Great Kama
wha rivers for rent. He will allow the
tenant a reasonable number of years
rent free, provided that within the
space of two years from the following

| contained in each lot, and proportion

cleared, fenced and titled. There are
advertisements of slaves, for white

| seribed as an Irish servant-man named
| Owen McCarty, forty-five years old
who had been a soldier at the time oi
Rraddock's defeat. There was at that
time a private postman who rode be-

old-Time Enemies Meet and Shake
Hands Across the bloody Chasm.

There was a scene this afternoon
in the office OF Secretary of War
Alger that recalls an incident of the inau-
guration of ex-President Harrison and
which, at the time created a profound
sensation in official circles throughout the
country. Il will be remembered that Gov
Beaver. of Pennsylvania, acted as chief
marshal of the parade ON that occasion
and that he took an opportunity later to
find fault with the conduct of Mai. Armes,
who was one of his aides. Maj. Armes
took umbrage at the words of Gov. Beav-
er and he found the chance several days
afterward upon meeting the governor to
tweak his nose. For this the major was
promptly courtmartialed. and his punish
ment was that he be confined 10 the Dis
trict for a certain period.
Mai. Armes promptly challenged the
governor 10 fisht a duel. but the affair
never came off. The men did not meet un-
I'll this afternoon, when they came face 10
face in the Office of the Secretary of War.
Maj. Armes was taken aback for the
nonce, but he after a few seconds hesi-
tatlon. walked up to the ex-governor and
extended his land with a show of old-time
cordiality which formerly had obtained
between them when they were friends.
said: How are you, general? I'm glad
to see you!
Gen. Beaver was fiustered for mo-
ment but he took the hand of Major
ArInes for want of anything else TO do,
while he tried to mold e plan of cam
paign for immediate use.
Major Armes continued: II really am
glad TO see you-there is nothing between
