must only mean, the new duties of the
United States to the world. Very many
will believe in these new duties only
so far as there is money in them, but
there still remain those great hearted
citizens OF the world, who believe that
the United States have larger mission
than that of money making.
The Anti-Imperialists have failed to
see, as they now begin to see, that
the nation must do something more
than feast while other unfortunate ma
tons are grooming.
The gospel from the Mount meant
far more than carrying simple religion
to the heather. It meant the carrying
of all that is good and may elevate
man. This definition OF these words,
and this definition only, will the nation
accept in the end.

A WISE PRESIDENT.

The many attacks on the Spaniards
in the city of Havana, by the Cubans,
show again the wisdom of President
Mckinley in refusing TO adopt in the
beginning, the Senate's plan of recog-
nizing the Cuban government. Had he
yielded, that government would now
permit the Cubans to take revenge on
the Spaniards, as individuals are now
doing. The Presidents wisdom, aided
by General Lees large knowledge Of
the situation, prevented the making of
a serious mistake.
The professional shouters for the
Flag believed that the President was
not a true American, at the time, be-
cause the people favored recognition
of the Cuban government. The Presi-
dent, however, had a better knowledge
of the situation, and events have JUS
titled his position.

POLITICS AND A JURY.

The condition of politics in the State
of Delaware is such, that it seems to
have been impossible to convict L. S.
Senator Kenney of fraud The jury
disagree on the second trial. If the
in the Senate would have been filled
by a Republican. 1t was, therefore,
important to retain him in the Senate.
The jury disagreed. 1t is not certain
that it was governed in falling to
agree, by any such motive. The Re-
publicans claim that it was.

IMPERIALISM.

The close of each day brings the
American people nearer to a clear and
common understanding of the words
Expansion and imperialism" The
definitions of these words have been
loose and vague, because they involve
new subjects. AS the thinking of the
nation goes on, and the political lati-
fude and longitude is worked out,
men are coming nearer to each other,
and find that, after all, when they I'M
derstand each other they will agree.
Even Senator Hoar will find that there
is no need of an Anti-Imperial League.
Any man, or body of men, or journal
that fears any departure by the Amer
lean people from their political princi-
piles and traditions. is only a heather
in his knowledge of the national char
acter.
UnquestionabIy the education of a
hundred years of free life has
qualified the broad and perhaps too
ideal definitions of the rights of man,
as accepted by the Fathers. But loyal
ty to the idea of liberty and self gov
eminent is stronger than ever, because
the nature and value of that loyalty
rs better understood than ever before.
Those who dare to think otherwise
must suspect the value and influence
of our schools, academies, colleges, and
the Press, if they entertain for a mo-
unent the idea that the desire to rule or
dominate over other people, for the
sake of making profit out of them, has
the least hold on the average American
thought.
The streamIets of democracy began
TO gather in America over a hundred
years ago. Today they unite in one
vast, Amazon like, steady current. He
must be at the beginning of any
knowledge of the national growth, who
thinks that any man or body Of men,
with little shovels can dig trenches
and divert the course of that stream.
Every atom Of water in it is democratic
andscannot now be changed.
Day by day the thought of the coun-
try settles down to the conviction that

THE COMET.

Why does not the Sawan comet
hitch on to itself a Republican tail?
Respectable comets, since the begin
ming of things, have possessed enor-
NOUS and luminous tails, that swept
the cobwebs and star dust out of the
skies, while tailless comets have been
held in contempt by all the fashionable
headers of good astronomical society.
Candidate Sewall appears to be one
OF the tailless comets in our political
sky. 1t whizzes and pIunges, and
dashes about our political heavens, as
If it could not borrow, beg or steal a
party tail.
That luminous and useful comet
Annexation moved steadily above rs
from January, 1893, to August, 1898,
but when its astronomical orbit was
finished it grandly disappeared, as all
regular comets do when they have
completed their jobs, and it is now
somewhere in lost space. never to re-
turn.
Tt is painful reflection that the
Sewall comet is not highly moral. For
at the moment the bright annexation
comet was about to sweep grandly off,
because its orbit was closed, the Sc
wall comet tried to pull off part of
its tail and fasten it to itself. This
rather immoral act was finally resented
by the pieces of stolen tail, and they
have Joined, and gone off with the
original comet.
Politicians observe that some cast
off political rags with the faded trade
mark of organ on them have been
woven into lengths, and some nedico-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. has fastened these
unWashed remnants TO the Sewall CO.
met as the most available tail at hand.
But still the question remains un-
answered; if the Sewall comet is really
authentic and reputable, why does it
not get a genuine Republican party
tail to it? Why is this delay? Where
is Col. Fisher, who is frantic in his
desire to lash the Advertiser with the
tail of a Republican comet tipped with |
sharp meteOric stones? Is there some |
mysterious reason for SURPRISING that |
tail? Or, is Mr.. SeWall |
afraid that if it is manufacturedhe may /

and which the manufacturers of genu- |

any circumstances.

and plunging about with some old |

THE PASSING HOUR.

1t was rather a half holiday.
Col. l.. NJ. Johnson gives a modest
and clear narrative for a man who has
seen so much in so brief time and an
extraordinarily exciting time at that.
NJ de Coligny promises to apologize
if he learns that he is wrong about the
Alabama story. This is a greater con-
cession than most romancerS will
make.
There was nothing revolutionary
about the atmosphere of yesterday in
Honolulu. The day was quiet as a

If the advice given in those three

analysis shows this to be a fact.
