Secretary AIger's Statement.

Secretary Alger's statement to the public
OF the amount of work accomplished by his
department and the army bureaus since the
outbreak of the war refutes the charge that
the preparations of the campaign have been
slothfully executed. The results them
eloquently against this unthinking indict-
ment. The public has apparently had lit
tie knowledge of the vast amount of ter
ritory to be covered, of the general state
of unpreparedness that confronted the mill
tary authorities, of the lack of Immediately
available resources and of the need of care
in the adjustment of the multitude of de-
tails in connection with the organization of
forth the work that has been done, which
reveals the proportions of the task in their
true light. Yet the statement shows only
the results and does not explain the details
of the labor required to produce them. 1t
appears clearly that in every department
the army has been Industrious and has
aVailed itself of every known expedient for
hurrying the work. Certain laws unaffect-
ed by the emergency statutes concerning
the war have handicapped the efforts of
the authorities in some particulars, and in
view of all the circumstances it is not too
much to declare that the achievements Of

the country's success. They are not them
selves educated soldiers or sailors. They
feel the necessity of being guided therefore
in such matters as relate to the prosecu-
ton of the war by the highest professional
opinion. TIE opinion as to the value, of
Hawaii at this time comes TO them from
eminent sources. Mr.. Hit in his very able
speech on Saturday quoted them. They
could not be higher, could the opinion
given be clearer, more specific, more
convincing. The Newlands resolution, sup
ported by this opinion and indorsed by the
President, is in effect, supplemental of the
war revenue bill, and Is entitled like that
to action by Congress at this session. Its
passage will strengthen the American cause
in the Pacific, and help complete the work
which Admiral Dewey has gloriously in
augurated at Manila.
Why not bar politics in this matter?
Why should not Mr.. Bailey in the House
and Mr.. Jones in the Senate return to the
position they took when the war began
and the first credit was voted, and put the
government above all other considerations?
And how very funny it is to see men, who
have posted Mr.. Cleveland far and near as
an apostate and an incapable, sheltering in
the shadow of the most odious and roundly
denounced feature of his whole record as
President!

Balm in GiIead for Champ Clark.

The Hon Champ Clark, who is rather
ap 10 be upset b. imaginary snakes is
greatly distressed over the possibility that
have 10 associate with niger and other
on-colored representatives from Hawaii and
the other new territories. Really, he should
not allow his fevered imagination to get
away with his great reasoning powers. 1t
will probably be long time before state
hood will be given to any annexed terri
tory. or any representatives therefrom pre-
sent themselves 10 the American Congress
for admission
We have possessed Alaska for thirty-one
years, but there are yet no Alaska Indians
in Congress TO distress Mr.. Champ Clark $
refined sensibIlities And even if Hawaii
should be represented in Congress during
Mr. Champ Clark's illustrious career it is
possible that these representatives might
not prove unworthy associates. To Impair
tial observers it would seem that the Doles,
the ThurstOns, the Hatches, the Judds the
Castles. the Carriers, the Damons. the Alex
anders. the McGrews, the Dillinghams, the
Cookies. the Bishops and others of the
worthy and intelligent citizenship of Ha-
wall would compare very favorably with
Mr.. Champ Clark in brains energy, states
manship dignity. sobriety, decorum, and
all the qualifications for eligible legislators.
Let Mr.. Champ Clark give consideration 10
these thoughts and he will find soothing
balm for his heated. overworked brain.

No Politics in Annexation,

The democratic leaders in Congress can
not succeed in taking the Hawaiian ques-
tion out OF its context and giving ii a read
ing which will insure them party advan-
tase In this years campaigns. The logic of
AFFAIRS Is against them; and. moreover, they
cannot poll their party's strength in favor
OF their maneuver. Some of the ablest
democrats in both houses are in favor of
annexation, and will record themselves
regardless OF attempted party dictation.
These men are democrats in all that relates
TO party divisions domestic issues but
Americans simply in all that relates to a
Successful prosecution OF the war with
Spain They accept the military and naval

right in their tudgment-that they sup

Brenk I'D the Masuuerade.

There is current gossip to the effect that
a few Senators quoted as favorable to an
nexation are yet prepared, and even dis
posed, to see the Hawaiian question go over
until next session. They will vote to take
up the Newlands resolution, but will readily
yield to threat of obstruction and at an
early day forward the minority's play for
adjournment. a little dress parade in favor
of annexation, purely for home consump
ton, and real action against it, and they
will be ready to go home.
If this is true, these men ought to be
smoked out very early in the action. They
are far more dangerous to the cause of an
nexation than those who are in open oppo-
sition. The man in the open can be
weighed. measured and observed. 1t will
be possible to place him from time to time
as the fight progresses. But the man in
the bush will be a sort of spy. Being in the
confidence of the friends of annexation he
will be able to guide by their plans in de-
termining how he may best serve the other
side-in determining when ii will be best
to permit that tired feeling to come over
him and give in to the threat of an all
summer session. He will be able all the
better to adjust his mask, and, after a
feeble pretense of support, to turn to the
rea! friends of annexation, and eXclaim, in
hoarse whisper of exhaustion, Its no
use, gentlemen. These fellows have got us.
and We might as well put up the shutters
and quit
The men who honestly desire annexation
desire it now. They see the Importance of
a vote at this session. They are prepared
to stay here and obtain that vote. They
will be well and aggressively led. The
votes are at hand to pass the Newlands
resolution They Shon1d 90 on 10
On the other hand, the men who are talk
ing for annexation and yet are proposing
that the question go over are your to
morrow Americans-about on a par with
your tomorrow Spaniards. They ought
to be smoked out and forced into the camp
where they belong. Mr.. Frye is not their
leader. Mr.. White is. In counting Mr..

riom tHe NtW 1Ork sun.
If there are senators of the United States
not yet provided with summer headwear
and thin and comfortable apparel suitable
to the latitude of Washington during the
hot months, We advise them to purchase
the outfit.
The country is not going to tolerate any
manifestation on the part of any gentle
man OF the Senate of a preference for his
own personal and individual comfort this
summer over the safety of the Americans
at Manila
To the safety of Dewey and his heroes
and to the safety of the American flag in
the far east. the annexation of Hawaii is
an Indispensable prerequisite If after the
Newlands resolution has passed the House
the obstructionists at the other end of the
Capitol attempt to defeat annexation by
adjourning Congress, let every patriotic
senator prepare for an all-summer session,
If that be necessary, in order to put up the
Stars and Stripes at Honolulu.
Washington is a hot town in July and
August; but, as We have already remarked,
Manila Is hotter. The hottest place of ALL
however, will be in the immediate neigh
borhood of any statesman who runs away
from the thermometer and duty to seek
personal comfort while our brave soldiers
and tars are fighting for their lives and for
the flag under the FURNISHED sun of the
tropics.

A Warning to COngressmen.
From the Boston Journal.

One excuse given by those members of
Congress who are anxious to adjourn after
the revenue bill is passed, without action
on Hawaii is that they want to '.get home
to their districts and begin to work for
their reelection.
The Journal would frankly say to any
New England representatives who niay be
of this way Of thinking, if there are such,
that the best place for them to work for
their reelection just now is right IN Wash
ington.
When the New England congressman
come home the first question which they
will have to answer will be What have
you done to uphold Admiral Dewey and
keep us in touch with our army in the
Philippines?' Far more deeply than any
other incident of the war has Dewey's tri-
umph touched the popular heart and the
popular imagination, and if through con-
gressional bungling the United States loses
the prestige which his valor has gained it
will go hard very hard-we warn congress-
men of that-with the political party or the
public men that can be held responsible
for 1t.
Support the President! Sustain the gov
eminent.

the matter up for discussion which may

The Advantages of Annexation
Already Accepted.

Prom the Honolulu Commercial Advertiser (SIay 27)
There are very favorable Indications for
the passage of the joint resolution In favor
of the annexation Of these islands in the
House of Representatives. What action the
Senate will take when 1t reaches that body
Is. of course uncertain, owing to the de-
lays which will obstruct its passage.
If the American executive directs the
transports to call here next week it puts
Congress in the attitude of accepting all
of the advantages Of annexation without
legally recognizing them. We have been
and now are perfectly willing to abandon
neutrality In favor of the United States,
but after the advantages which accrue to
the United States from our course 1t would
seem as If annexation should be made by
them in their own interest.
