cussion, but this the British Government
declined, at the same time inviting the
Transvaal to participate in the work OF de-
Limitation. This invitation was refused ;
whereupon the British Government made u
declaration that the frontier beacons to be
erected by It's agents would DO considered
as legally defining the boundary. There
the matter rests for the present.
The action OF the Volksraad at Pretoria,
in giving the President plenary power to
proclaim martial law and compel every
resident in the republic to serve in Its de-
fence in case OF war, does not signify more
than determination to fight for its indie
pendence in the event Of It's being mcnaced.
The preparations of the British Govern
ment have not yet reached the point that
can be considered aggressive. The situa-
ton, all the same is sufficiently critical.

as matter OF right, when he returns tohis
native land. He knows that, or should
know 1t; he certainly knows he has broken
law OF that land. which offence is not
wiped out by his becoming an American.
Here arises difficulty which has COM
fronted our diplomatic officers repeatedly,
The Revised Statutes Of the United States
declare expressly that naturalized citizens
are entitled to and shall receive the same
protection OF person and property that is
accorded to native-born citizens. So, such
persons seek and obtain the protection OF
the United States when In trouble In any
country except that OF their nativity. In
that country alone the United States can
not protect them as a matter OF right.
1t Is true that many a naturalized Ameri-
can, arrested In his native country and
threatened with punishment or with being
compelled to serve in the army, Ia released
on the application OF the American Minis
ter; but in no case is he released as mat
ter of right. His release is granted solely
IA II courtesy to the United States.
The case of Il Turkish subject obtaining
naturalization here is similar to that Of an
alien from any other country. The treaty
with Turkey limits tho power of the United
Itatcs to grant naturalization papers that
Turkey will recognize, unless certain con-
ditions are observed. II cannot prevent the
United Statesf from making any Turk a voter
fnd comforting on him any local rights that
they may choose. That Is what this coun-
t y has done to our Turkish correspondent,
AID what 1t does daily to aliens coming
here to avoid military service. So far as 1t
goes, the naturalization Ia complete but 1t
Coco not go outside of the United States.
Natu alizat' ~ that shall be recognized
by the law Of nations. the United States
cannot grant unless certain conditions arc
observed by the applicants for our citizen
ship. But within the jurisdiction OF the
United States the naturalization granted to
aliens fleeing from the military laws OF
their native countries. as to our CORE
spondcnt, is complete, and, except as to the
American citizens 'Ne world over.
naturalization being more difficult 70 oh
tain In other countries than in the United
States. and the right OF Standardization
being limited or denied wholly, the ques-
tons M to the rights Of naturalized citizens
which arise so often here are comparatively
rare abroad. They do arise sometimes,
however, and must be settled as the United
States settle them.
Tho granting of an American passport to
our Turkish fellow citizen was probably an
oversight. We sympathize with our cor

Tho subioned expression Of opinion Is
from the Daily Ners, Of Galveston, T"xGs:
the evident purpose of TnE SrN and other organs
n persuade the party 10 hedge and eyac this issue.
one can hardly expect an explicit provision in favor
OF the gold standard Leaders are already insis my
that such provision is unnecessary"
The "cvid"nt purpose Of THE SuN Is,
as its columns show, to prevent only the In
PRODUCTION Of the issue between gold ard
silver into the proceedings OF the com ng
session of Congress.
So far from desiring to persuade the
Republican party to evado it in tho next
Presidential campaign, THE SIN insists
that the Democrats ought to declare for
silver in that campaign, and the Rcpub-
Leans for gold, and thus bring the issue
again squarely before the people.

Interesting Politics In Hawaii.

There are now two distinct parties in Ha-
waii. Both agree in regarding themselves
rs American citizens. but with an important
difference.
one party of Americans in Hawaii holds
with Ex-Ministrr HATCH that tn" islands
arc part and parcel Of tn" United States,
that the process of annexation extended
the authority Of tn" United States Consti-
tuition overthc inhabitants; that the Consti-
tuition belongs to Them and that no power
on earth can deprive them of their right
to the Constitution.
The other party holds that at present the
fundamental law governing Hawaii in its
relations To- the United States is the New
lance resolution; that the Constitution OF
the United States does yet not apply in all
of its provisions to tn" affairs of the
islands; and tn" recent remarkable decis-
ions of the Hawaiian Supreme Court. Of
which We have already spoken, support this
view of the ease.
But behind the division on lines of con
sttutional theory and iuridical convent
encc there is an equally distinct line of
partition which separates two contradict
ing and conflicting manifestations of politi-
cal spirit.
One party in Hawaii wishes to he wholly
American.
The other party wishes to he American
enough to get all the advantages which the
flag brings, and yet to remain Hawaiian
enough to preserve all the local advantages
of the old system, and particularly to re-
tain the offices.
With which party will American senti-
ment on the mainland sympathizc?
