An Outrage Upon a Woman.

The continued malicious attacks
oi the Washington Star, the organ
Of the missionary ollgarchY in
possession, through the aid OF the
United States, OF the Hawaiian
Islands, upon Ex-Queen Liliuoks-
lam, a woman Of the same race as
the great majority Of the inhabi-
tants Of the Philippine Islands,
are simply disgusting. She may
not have a white skin, but she is a
bright, accomplished lady, who
has been badly treated by our
annexationlsts and trusts.
Whilst at peace with the whole
world, she was one night attacked
by a small clique, supported by
an American man Of war and its
marines, who took possession oil
Honolulu. She was told at the
time to keep quiet and then her
case would be settled at Washing
ton. She has come here, and all
she has received is abuse and
coarse slander. That is the way
annexationists treat those that
trust them.

"A HessiaR''

the Times calls Senator Yelling
ton because he is opposed to an,
nexation ofthe Philippines. Well
ington is Of German descent, hence
that title.
The Hessians were poor people
sold by the Elector OF Hesse to
England to fight against people
struggling for independence.
What is the difference between
Mr.. Mckinley aud the Elector Of
Hesse9 Does the former not imi.
tate the latter and force his soldiers
to fight against people struggling
for their independence, just as the
latter did in I7767
Our volunteers are Just as much
opposed to fighting the Filipinos
as the Hessians in the last century
were against fighting the Ameri-
cans.

1t is a Pity

that there is not a good, reliable
Democratic daily published at
Washington. We do our best
with a weekly, but, as events
hasten themselves, 1t is not sufti-
cient.
Still, we have all reason to be
satisfied. For the last fortnight
we have been calling attention to
the revolutionary and unlawful
course OF the President in max
ing war upon a foreign people,
without permission and consent
Of Congress. Senator Tillman was
the first to raise the question by
our advice. Now Senator Allen
has taken hold of this matter by
offering a resolution Of inquiry.

No Euthusiasm over sharter.

Gen. Shafter is frequent
visitor 10 the Capitol these days.
While he is always cordially
greeted, his welcome has never
been enthusiastic. Shafter is not
a popular idol in the minds OF
Senators and Representatives.
The fact that he was ten miles to
the rear of the firing line during
the battles IN and around Santiago
with a chunk Of ice on his head
and a negro attendant keeping
flies from his ponderous body, is
we'll known in Washington. And
while the army officers have en-
deavored to put Shaiter forth as
the real hero OF Santiago, the men
who make the laws will not recog.
nize him as a great military hero.

The German-AmerIcans

are the ones to suffer ifthe German
Government excludes any OF our
"embalmed" meat. AS a retalia-
tory measure, the exclusion OF
German wines, which chiefly are
drunk by German Americans, will
follow. No French wines will be
excluded, though France has dur
ing the Spanish war continually
been against US. Why? Because
the German-Americans don't drink
any French vines.
The German-Americans will
most likely defend themselves at
the polls against such policy, at
the coming elections, Then they
will get even with the annexation
lists and the Republican Admins
tIation.

The Lies About Germany

The millions Of German Ameri-
cans in this country are disguised
with the lying articles, emanating
from English sources, about Ger
many. If Germany had done
wrong they would be the first to
denounce her. But they will not
join the English in their CONNER
cial jealousy against Germany,
All the lies about Admiral
DiederIch's interference with
Dewey have been exploded. The
taking OF the Spanish General to
Hongkong was done at the request
OF Dewey and General Merritt.
Neither did Dewey take any Of
tense because the Irene prevented
some Spanish officers, ladies and
children, from falling into the
hands Of our ally AguInaldo.
But all those lies have been reiter-
ated, and even Senator Foraker
has repeated them.
That the German government
has a touch Of the grasping fever
may be true. She wants coaling
stations TOR the benefit oil her COM
merce, and we cannot blame her
if she does, especially as we are
engaged, at wholesale, in the same
business. But up to this time it
has carefully avoided interference
with the United States.

To The senatoFsi

Is it not time to impeach Mr..
Mckinley Can he, without au-
thority Of Congress, make war
upon foreign peoPle7 What right
has he to do SOP
Senator Gray, one Of the Peace
Commissioners, said the other day
in the Senate, This country was
still technically at war with Spain
until the peace treaty was COM
pleted," that is, until it had been
signed by both parties.
We claim possession Of the
Philippines under that incomplete
treaty. This is all the right Mr..
Mckinley has for making war
against the Filipinos and compel
ling them to recognize our author
ity.
This is exercising the power OF
an imperial autocrat, but not Of an
American President
The treaty should not be ratified
until amended. spain should be
compelled to relinquish all soyer-
eighty over the Philippines (as she
had done already and we should
not be obligated to conquer the
Islands, in order to compel the
Filipinos to give ur the Spanish
prisoners. We could act as man
ager between the two, each sur
rendering its prisoners to be eN-
changed for those IN the hands oi
the other. The Fillpinos would
readily consent to this arrange
ment, the more so, as Spain would
have renounced all claims to the
Islands. The Fllipinos would also
be willing to assume the payment
OF the twenty millions. provided
their independence were recog-
nized. No war, no sending OF
large armies at enormous expense
would then be necessary, and
peace and content on ali sides
would have be IN restored.
The adoption OF the treaty as it
is now can only be done by a two
thirds majority in the Senate.
Should, however, the treaty be
adopted, the Islands can be an
nexed by a simple majority, and
that makes the Administration the
master OF the situation.
Reject the treaty, therefore, and
have it amended as suggested
above. It will settle the whole
trouble at once. Spain will have
no objection to this plan. In fact
she has to do our bidding.

The Washington star

advises Aguinaldo to study the
American Constitution.
Perhaps he has already studied
il and found that Mr.. Mckinley
has no right to make war upon
aim and the Filipinos under that
Instrument, without orders from

Would it not be better if the
Star would advise the President to

Mr.. Edmunds's Mastery Argument.
NeV York Tins.
By far the strongest argument agains
expansion that has vet been made by
anybody is put forth by ex- Senator
George F. Edmunds in a communication
to the Won't published in that Journal
recently Il is direct and intensely
practical. There is no sentiment to

prejudice the mind. Senator Edmunds
writes as ifthe United States Of America
was his friend and client Many OF the
antl-expansionists delight IN holding

is a pleasure to read this powerful
presentation Of the anti-expansionist
case from a mind so penetrating and
learned as that Of Senator EdmundS

Theatregoers and lovers of Hoyt's
original and quaint methods for pro-
voking genuine laughter will welcome
the announcement that his latest, and
by many ypronouncedh isiunniest comedy

its 10 weeks run at the Garrick Theatre,

Charles Hoyt, is not only recognized
as one Of the greatest Of American
play wrights, but he is one of the most
successful Hoyts comedies have
strong hold upon the American theatre
going public. It may be because Mr..
Hoyt himself is an American, knows
just what the American people want IN
the way OF amusements.
The new piece like all the authors
former outputs, has no lesson to teach;
neither is 1t hampered with any great
story or plot. Mr., Hoyt frankly admits
that his main object in writing "A Day
and A Night in New York" was to
furnish material for an evenings enter
tainment and to bring money to the box
Office, and Judging from reports Of its
grand success for the past ten weeks at
the Garrick Theatre, Mr.. Hoyt has
attained his object.
The company includes William
Devere, Louis Cunning, Hattie Wells,
Hattie Williams and others. The piece
will be presented under the personal
direction OF Mr.. HOyt.

We are no longer importers

Yet there is a duty OF As per

To take full advantage of this

Eagan's sCandaIous Utterauces.
1t is safe to say that Commissary
Gen. Egan's denunciation OF Maj.
Gen. Miles-made before the War
Investigating COMMISSIONS the
most extraordinary, the most as
founding utterance in the history
Of this or any other modern army.
In violence, IN intemperate epithet,
and in scandalous suggestion, it
transcends all precedent and beg
gars all description.
Commissarv General Eagan
made just one proposition as to
which the whole country will be
Of one mind-either he or Gen.
Miles is unit for the place Of dig
nifty and honor he now occupies.
To that assertion there will be no
dissenting voice.

Congress Decides in Eavor OF High
LiCenCe.

Congress Decides in Favor OF High
LicenCe.
The House last Wednesday
completed and passed the bill for
the codi6catlon OF the criminal
laws Of Alaska, upon which it has
been working intermittently for a
week. An amendment was adopted
providing that a yearly license
may be issued tor the manufacture
or sale of liquor in quantities Of
not less than five gallons, not to be
drunk on the premises, upon the
payment Of a fee OF $1,000. No
license, however, can issue unless
evidence is produced before the
court showing that the majority Of
the white citizans within two miles
OF a place for which a license Is
asked shall consent. The amend
ment prohibits the sale oil liquor to
minors and gives every husband, ,
wife or child, parent, guardian, EN-
ployer, or other person injured in
person and property in conse
quence OF intoxication the right to
exemplary damages from the per-
son who by sale may have caused
such intoxicatlon. The sale OF
liquor by drug stores is permitted
upon the prescription of a physi-
clan. The sale OF liquor to Indians
or half breeds is prohibited.

Treating and Treaties

1t is asserted in Washington that
the chief reason for the delay in
making the nomination of Mr..
Choate as Ambassado to England
was the pressure brought to bear
on the President by the members
OF the Peace Commission, on their
return from Paris, in favor OF their
fellow Commissioner Whitelaw
Reid. They are quoted in a
Washington despatch as giving
this ingenious reason for their
preference:
We are all grateful to him for the
manner in which he entertained not only
those who showed us CourtesIes in Paris,
but ourselves as well. There was
nothing that his thoughtiuln- SIS could
provide for our comfort and convenience
that was not at all times ready for us by
Mr.. Reid's order
There is a profound diplomatic
lesson in this. 1t emphasizes the
truth long ago discovered by lovely
woman that 1.-The road to mans
heart lies through his stomach" 1t
goes further. 1t shows that the
giver OF a dinner is the gamer of
good will and that the art of making
treaties is allied to the art OF "treat-
ing"
The difference between Choate
and Reid, in the minds of our
Philippine Commissioners, appears
to turn mainly on the fact that one
is an after dinner diplomat, while
the diplomacy OF the other is shown
before dinner-and during the din
ner.

coming production OF his latest new
play, The Rev. Griffith Davenport 4"
II is generally admitted that Shore

far produced, and the question now
arises, will Mr.. Herne surpass his former
effort? Those who have attended the
rphearsals of Hene's new work admit
that the play is a most remarkable one
in many respects and will prove a
genuine novelty. Il IS to have it's first
production at the Lafayette Square
Opera House on Monday evening next.
There are over forty actors in the
company and the scenery and mechan.
