GERMAN INTERVENTION.

Those who are disposed to believe
in the sensational rumor Of German
intervention in the Cuban and Philip
pine affair, belong to n class Of people
who believe that wars are only fun,
and are inexpensive diversions. Aside
from all other many and most weighty
considerations, the German Govern
ment Is building up with great ex-
pense. and with much labor, a valuable
commercial marine. To put this in
jeopardy, to expose 1t to the attacks
of American privateers, to arrest It's
own foreign trade, and throw that
trade directly over to the British is a
proposition too absurd to be thought
Of. To dictate in the slightest degree
to 100000 OF people, who are as skill
full in war as in peaceable pursuits, is
an adventure which no German states
man will contemplate, unless all Eu-
rope is with him.
1t is natural enough that the Eu-
ropeans should refuse 10 believe that
the United States Is engaged in war
for the sake of humanity. American
political history abounds in authentic
accounts of the robbery of Mexico, in
order to secure Texas, and a vast west
ern domain including California. The
Germans understand II. and will not
believe that the American people are
any more virtuOus now than then.
They cannot appreciate the fact that
slavery instigated this robbery and
was the sole and only cause OF it.
Nations, like persons, get certain er-
roneous ideas, and no reasoning will
remove them.
But the Germans, with all their sus-
picions Of the claims to disinterested
action by the Americans. will not i'm
peril their commercial marine In q war
with the United States. All they can
do is to give us a piece OF their
minds" and let it go at that.
That the German feet may take ac-
ton at Manila is not improbable, II
the German residents in that place are
exposed to destruction by the insur-
gents. II the Spanish in Manila can
not protect German subjects against
riot and revolution, there may be
some justification in the interference
Of the German ships. Admiral Dewey
may prevent complications by taking
the place. II he has sufficient land
force behind him.

A singular omission in the treaty
of annexation, and in the joint reso-
luton, is that Of not providing for the
collection of the internal revenues i'm
posed by the United States laws.
For instance, the War Revenue law
provides for tax on legacies. 1t Ia
now in force throughout the States
and Territories. II we are at present
annexed is It not in force here? No
thing is said about II. either in the
treaty or in the joint resolution. The
customs laws remain unchanged until
Congress shall change them. But
every foot of American territory is
subject to the internal revenue laws,
and the joint resolution does not
cover this point. Will they or will
they not operate at once. or will their
operation be postponed until Congress
regulates the matter? Do these laws
providing for internal revenue call for
taxes in addition to those imposed by
our municipal laws?

THE WAR POLICY.

Out OF the large mass of news and in
formation which comes to us, through
the mails, we can see that the war
policy OF the American Government
has been somewhat modified lately.
The condition OF Spain indicates that
a break down may take place at any
moment, and a suspension of HOSTILE
ties take place. II this takes place
before the American forces get foot
hold in Porto Rico. Manila and the
Caroline Islands, the result Of the war
may be the freedom of Cuba only. 1t
is evident that the desire OF the Amer
lean Government is to drive the Span
iards out of the Philippines, the Caro-
lines and Porto Rico before any peace
negotiations take place. The Ameri-
can forces probably now occupy the
latter place. Manila may also be now
ind possession of the American troops.
There is reason to believe that the
Washington Government is alive to
the needs of driving the Spanish from
the Carollnes. The treatment of AM
erican missionaries there by the Span
ish forces has been cruel, and high

UNLAWFUL WAR.

The Spanish, Manila, newspaper
that charges Dewey with sending I'm
cendiary shells into the Spanish
cruiser, which the laws Of God and
man, forbid" takes the same views re-
garding warfare that the Chinese
commander held, in the assault by the
British feet on the Chinese forts at
the mouth of the Peiho river In 1851.
Failing to carry the works in front,
by reason Of the difficulty CT crossing
wide ditch. the British commander
sent a detachment to the rear Of the
forts, where no guns had been mount
ed. AS they we're about to make an
assault. the Chinese commander sent
out a flag Of truce, and demanded that
the British troops retire, because "the
forts were not built to be attacked In
the rear" and warfare OF that kind
was, as the Spanish writer has said,
contrary to the law Of God and man.
The brutal British commander failed
to see the value Of the point. and took
the fort.

The Rev. Father Conrady. for many
years ut Kalawao, is now studying
medicine aud surgery In Portland with
a view Of devoting the rest OF his life
to the relief of the miserable lepers In
China. He writes: II want to teach
the Chinese pagans an object lesson

confidence that with Gods help and

is wretched in the extreme. They live
in graveyards, in dirty small houses
that have a door and no window. No
soap, no medicine, no bandages are
found among them. Their allowance
from the government Is one cent daily

THE LAST RECEPTION.

The important event, yesterday. was
the ofBcial reception of the American
Minister.
Assuming that annexation has been
accomplished, or will be, within few
days, 1t marks the last OF these off,
cial functions which have been very
prominent features in our social and
political life during the last sixty
years.
In tae early days, owing to the little
regad paid by the United States to
their foreign relations, the diplomatic
= consular representatives Of that
nation, In several II not in many in
stances, were entirely untitled for the
offices they were appointed to, and
they were the causes of much scandal
and reproach. During the last few
years, however, the diplomatic repre-
sentatives have been, as a rule, men
Of education, refinement, and excellent
character, equal to the most reputable
OF American diplomats at the European
courts.
Should the raising of the American
flag here, make the reception OF yes
terday the last Of a long series, there
will be many regrets that such pleas
ant gatherings have forever ended. 4.
The American Minister, who is prob
ably destined to long and honorable
career in American political life, will
look back upon this event as one tinted
with the romance of life in the Pacific
ocean. At least, he will have assisted
in creating and fixing into the ground
another mile stone on the highway OF
American progress.

THE FUTURE OF OPIUM.

Of the cases, which are affected by the
special provision Of the treaty. and
of the joint resolution. that repeats
any law OF this Republic which is in
conflict with the Constitution Of the
United States. While the general
municipal legislation Of this Republic
is not contrary to any provision Of
that Constitution. the municipal law
prohibiting the importation of opium,
unfortunately, is opposed to 1t. The
Supreme Court of the United States
has emphatically decided the principle
involved In 1t.
The most of our municipal laws will
stand until Congress shall repeal, or
modify or re-enact them. This law

THE JOINT RESOLUTION.

II these Islands should be annexed
to the United States by joint resolu-
ton, will 1t be necessary for the Ha-
waiian Legislature to act upon 1t, or
confirm it?
Probably not, although formal act
of acceptance would apparently per-
feet the legal transfer.
Annexation is a matter Of contract.
The Hawaiian Government agrees to
transfer the Islands to the United
States, and the latter country agrees
to take them. provided the Senate con-
sents to 1t, subject to certain specified
conditions. The Senate has not acted.
The contract in that form Is still
pending. Congress. however, as a
body, and without reference to the
form and method of executing this
contract, makes a new contract In form
only by joint resolution. Its substance
| Is the same as that contained in the
contract by treaty. 1t carries out, or
executes the meaning and intent of
the contracting parties. and 1t holds
that the assent by Hawaii, contained
in the contract by treaty, equally ap-
plies to the new form of contract by
joint resolution.
It Is not necessary that contract
should be in writing. It Is, with some
exceptions, valid If 1t is only oral. The
writings containing It's terms are only
the evidences OF the intent and under
standing Of the parties to it.
The Hawaiian Government has, I'M
der its constitutional authority. trans
ferred the Islands to the United States.
An acceptance, in the form of specific
action by the Senate has not been
made. But an acceptance by another,
and, 1t is assumed, equally valid consti-
tutional method has probably been
made. The intent of the contracting
parties is executed. An immediate oc-
cupation OF the Islands, by the United
States, without opposition, would be a
confirmation in fact by both parties.
The only difference between the rati-
fication OF the treaty and the joint re-
solution, is one of form.
A question that could be raised as
to the absolute legality of the transfer
by joint resolution is. on the American
side, whether the Constitution Of the
United States prohibits this form OF
transfer, but permits It in the form OF
annexation by treaty.
II the joint resolution has passed
the Senate. or does hereafter, and 1t Is
followed by immediate occupation, the
Supreme Court OF the United States
will do in the case, as It has often in
other political cases. when called upon
to decide them. simply recognize the
will Of the people, and the necessi-
ties OF the case.
So far as the Islands are concerned
the intent and assent Of the Govern.
ment, contained in the treaty will
operate upon the joint resolution, and
make a good title In the United States

THE FOURTH OF JULY.

The year 1898 has already written
across the page of American history
"This Is the end of Chapter H."
The organization Of the Federal Uni
on in 1887, the careful experiments In
the harmonious working OF Its mechan-
ism, and finally. the REIMBURSEMENT of
its parts, and the cementing of the
Union, with the blood of half million
Of men, finished and wrote In 1860
across the page of American history:
"This is the end of Chapter l."
On this day, and at the present hour
the words of the beginning Of Chapter
III are moving across the page of this
history. Material prosperity, vast in
crease in population, the absorption OF
public lands, and the intense energy OF
the agricultural and manufacturing,
force the casting away Of the swad-
ding clothes OF the year 1900.
General Washington, looking west
ward, put the Mississippi far beyond
the possible boundaries OF the nation.
To him. what was beyond was not
within the scope Of political thought.
The Farewell Address was spoken to a
few people huddled on the Atlantic
coast. and their friends sparsely picket
ing the wilderness lying on the west
ern slope of the Alleghanles. The wis
dom OF that hour was not the wis
dom of this hour. Washington looked
on few thousand producers Of tobacco
and dried fish. His successors look
upon 100000 of industrial workers
in five thousand different articles, all
demanding a share in the worlds
trade.
While the nation was waiting, and
considering, and firmly held down by
its inheritance OF narrow political
thought and habit, Humanity sudden
ly flashed the sword before its
eyes, and rallied its young men into the
army. The Spanish war closes Chap

IT this perilous? Does II mean final
decay? The schools. the colleges, the
higher education, and the marvellous
advancement of women remove the
peril. Above all the Universal Church
gradually takes the creeds, behind
which men hide their acts. and makes
them transparent. The deeds begin to
