THE P'~S'NG HOUR.

Those Spaniards might have known
better than to monkey with American
fireworks on the eve of the Fourth of
July.
Now that the change is really ac-
complished, 1t Is difficult to see how
base ball can be allowed to go by the
board.
The noises that were in the air last
night would suggest that Hawaii can
still blow her own horn" to some
extent.
III this expansion of Hawaii to the
Northwest continues, Uncle Sam will
In time require special census de-
partment to keep his islands correctly
counted.
Senator Pettigrew talked for five
consecutive hours against the Joint
Resolution. But they say he did not
say much.
Speaking Of trlfles, has anyone heard
from dear little Capt. Palmer? That
ladylike individual must have sent
word Of some sort.
IL the war on the waters continues
much longer the only traces OF Spain q
navy will be between the covers of
the New York World Almanac and
similar publications.
They say that this is the way 1t has
been told In whispers by members of
clerical forces:

The Committee OF 100 did the hand
some thing for Capt Inman Sealby, X.
N. r., master Of the S. S. Coptic. A
loving cup was a suitable token for
commander who brought to a port
cargo of JOY for the people.
Those who succumb to the mastery
Of unbounded Joy on this occasion
should not ignore the fact that for
some others the cup OF woe may be
overlooking. A vanQuished foeman is
entitled to the best and most cour-
teous consideration that the victor can
extend.
Remember the main factor in the
transmission or application OF the Sum-
mer School Lessons. An outing or two
should be arranged for the teachers,
There would likely be a very pretty
showing Of shapely hands on the prop
osltion to have an excursion over the
railroad to Waialua.
That facetious Hawaiian citizen who
remarked at San Francisco some weeks
ago that he had nailed down the lid OF
the coffin OF Annexation at Washing
ton, will now In all likelihood cheer
fully admit or concede the prompt re-
tort to the effect that the corpse was
not in the casket.
. The Philadelphia was rather mean
to us in way in the dark days OF the
closing weeks of 1898, but all that is
long since and with Admiral Miller
and Old Glory aboard the cruiser will
be doubly welcome upon her next call
here with John w. Foster aboard as
advance agent for Uncle Sam.

1t Is possible that Senator White Of
California stands out against the An
nexation OF Hawaii for the purpose Of |
finishing of negative chapter In his |
political career. He voted with the |
when the ayes and nays were |
called for the Dlngley tariff act. and
again when the ballot was spread for |
the Spanish war resolution.
VIM. Adams, the prospector, manager
and mining engineer who is going to |
the Klondike for Honolulu syndi-
cate, was mentioned In this paper a
few days ago as being an Englishman.
Mr.. Adams Is an American, but says |
