A QUESTION OF EQUALITY.

ALREADY the political status Of
the diverse peoples which will
come within the limits Of citizen
ship as result of annexation is
puzzling the BRAIN Of statesmen.
As yet this problem is confined to
the Hawaiian Islands, 10000
whites; 10000 natives; $4,000
japanese: 10000 Chinese; and
1000 Mongrcls. Before the war
ends we will probably take under
our wing an indefinite number Of
all sorts and conditions Of men
ranging from the lowest cannibal
negrito of the Philippines through
all variations of Chino-NIalay-
japanese Negro -P Polynesia
Spanish nationality up to themost
enlightened and aristocratic Don
on Porto Rico. What to do with
pot-pourri in a government which
proclaims to the world that all
men are free and equal to govern
themselves and others is gong to
make the world merry. 1t is a
GREAT faIlacv. All men are not
born equal; nor will they be equal
while the world as we know it
stands. "Equal-born? O yes, if

from Washington county:
''Within the field Of permissible

the convention swept the circle Of
expedionts to obstruct the eXer-
else of the franchise by the ne
groe race. And further, the
court said, speaking of the negro
race: "By reason Of its previous
