terest opponents men and families
who could find nothing too bad to say
~ those who honestly argued and
worked for annexation to the United
states, because they thought that po-
litical stability and commercial pros
perity lay that way, Properties which
could not be gotten rid Of or would
have had to be let go at a sacrifice in
May last, are now extremely valuable,
and would sell at a premium were they
put upon the market
With the usual gratitude OF mankind
few people who have reaped the ben
eft of our change to prosperity, are
willing to admit, that the change has
come in spite of their utmost efforts
against it, None the less, it is true
that many an anti-annexationist can
utter a prayer of thanks for the pros
perity which annexation has given
him.

TWELVE UNKNOWN"

The mortality tables are to this eX-
tent satisfactory, that the total num-
Der of deaths is less than last month";
and that the rate per thousand is "a
instead of 81. The death rate of the
Hawaiians is much lower, being 34.43
this month, against 5S.44 last month
but it is still abnormally high.
Last month there We're IL deaths
from unknown causes, and this month
we have similar number, II. How
long this disgrace upon the Board of
Health statistics is to continue one
cannot tell. 1t is a constant disgrace
and is blot upon the statistics. With
all the money paid for medical attend
ance and all the machinery we have,
in the first two months of 1899 no less
than "a people have left this life, whose
cause of death is unknown. Can any
one deny that some of them have been
removed by poison? Certainly no Off
cial of the Board of Health can. The
total number of deaths for the two
months has been 163-and "a "un-
known" deaths figure out a percentage
of 14.7, truly a record to be proud of.
OF course the number of "unattend-
ed" is as usual large. This month it
amounts to "a out of 70, or 342 per cent.
Last month it was 80 out of &c. or 3d.
per cent, so that this month is rather
worse than it's predecessor.
Consumption claims the largest num-
Der of victims, viz: II, one more than
last month. This is a matter that the
Board of Health is making some effort
to grapple with.
In another column will be found eX-
tracts from a paper upon the latest
cure for consumption. 1t is well worth
study

Dryfus seems to have a good chance
of once more returning to France. The
latest news about him is that the in
dictment is to be quashed and the
wronged officer to be reinstated in his
rank. But the nation can never undo
the wrong that has been done. More
over the Partisan mob is not prepared
TO do justice, if the civil authorities
are. In the present condition of Pari-
sian demeanor, it would be by no means
safe for Dreyfus to return to Paris,
OF justice and of wrong the lower class
Partisan takes no account.

A PREMIER's SPEECH.

Some remarks made by Lord Sails
bury last month throw light upon the
attitude of British statesmen in the
rescript.
Lord Salisbury said he would hear
tily rejoice if the causes of war could
be diminished as much as possible
and also that by legislation the hor-
rors of war might be lightened. But
he pointed out that the United Kingdom
must follow the example of other ma
lions and be prepared for war; not be-
cause was was necessarily imminent,
but because the causes of war still eX-
list.
This is the essence of the reason for
sons for going to war remain, so long
must nations remain armed. Lord Sal
isbury might have added that Russia s
main desire for general disarmament
was to get an opportunity to increase
her navy at the expense of her army.
If he did not say it, he has conveyed it
by increased activity in the govern
ment dOckyards.
In the same speech the British pre-
mier commended the United States
system of having a committee of for
eign relations which could secretly re-
cieve explanations which the cabinet
would only too gladly give, but which
it was impossible to give under the
British and many continental systems.
There can be no doubt that under
the United States system information
about foreign affairs is very readily
I made known to the legislative branch
and forms an excellent guide to ac-
ton. Moreover the amount of informa-
ton furnished to the United States
government is more full and at the
same time more shrewd than that
furnished to European cabinets. Men
trained to manage large affairs in the
states do not easily lose hold of diplo-
matte threads. American representa-
tives do not act on fixed and antedi-
luvian rules, but they act upon their
knowledge of men, and in nine cases
out of ten prove the more acute.

OBJECT LESSON.

An extract from President Doles
article, which appeared in Harpers
Weekly is published in another column
The article in some portions is able
enough, and indeed taken as a whole
1t does credit to it's author, but there
are passages in it which are bound to
call forth a considerable amount of
D.. criticism.
AT the present crisis of our affairs
the more smoothly things are conduct
ed the better. We are in a position of
waiting for the verdict and naturally
everyone feels more or less anxious
and irritable. Whether we are salts
fled with things as they are, or wheth-
er we are dissatisfied, it is best that
matters should remain in statu quo,
than that any sudden change should
take place. This seems to be Mr.. Dole s
argument in his article, and it is we'll
worthy of consideration. We shall In
time get a change from Congress, and
we shall have to accept it with good
grace, whatever it is. All we ask from
Congress is to be fair and consider un-
der what circumstances we asked for
annexation, and therefore not to class
us with the Philippines and Porto Rico.
Meantime it is wise that things should
run on in their present manner and
that there should be no official or cabi-
net change till Congress speaks.
1t is quite true, as Mr.. Dole says, we
have in our midst the strong annexa-
tionists, the strong nti-annexationists
and those who are anxious about the
future, but NEEDLE not in politics one
way or the other But it is equally
true that the object lesson of the last
few months, and the great advance in
material prosperity which has taken
place, have opened the eyes and turned
the hearts of many anti-annexation-
lists.
There has never been a political
change which has wrought good with
more even hand, than has the anneXa-
ton of the Islands. The material ad-
vantages have not come alone to those
who advocated thel cause for so many
years, and when 1t seemed a hopeless
task. They have come to the very Bit
