WEDNESDAY. APRIL 4. 1900
1T IS HAWAII NOW.

Read In the light OF the progress of
events in the Philippines and in Puerto
Rico. the speech delivered yesterday IN
the house Of representatfve by Mr.. Knox
in Introducing the measure establishing
permanent government in the Hawaiian
Islands is as instructive as it is extra
ordinary. Justice is what Mr.. Knox
pleads for in behalf of the Hawaiians.
The Declaration of Independence and the
maxim OF the consent of the governed
lie at the basis Of the presentation Of
his claims in behalf OF the people Of tbosa
Islands He IS assured that no trouble
soma precedents viii be established by
our admission of the native Sandwich
islander and the white population of the
Islands to the rights and privileges OF
American citizenship. He is assured that
while the admission Of Hawaii to the
Union is the first instance In which we
have thought Of going outside the terri
torial limits of the American continent
in pursuit of the policy Of national ex-
pansion. there is ample warrant to be
found in the constitution for such a.
course.
All this is encouraging. But 1t merely
CLOSES the difficulties in the path of
Chairman Knox and his measure. He
and his associates will have to deal later
with Senator Platts proposed amend
ments. which seek to place Hawaii
on tie same plane as Puerto Rico ard
the Philippines, and which expressly neg
ative any implied promise of statehood.
Imperialism will hardly be willing to sub
NIT to the complete self-effacement which
this measure embodies. The passing of
events in connection with Puerto Rico
will have a decisive influence. A strong
faction OF the party of the adrninistra-
tton is loud in its demands that the col,
Onial plan find expression In Hawaii
as It is contemplated in the others OF
the new POSSESSIONS
The speech of Chairman Knox is AN
apology. 1t is an effort to placate the
militant wing Of imperialism. The com
mittee which he represents has already
rejected the amendments which would
place the islands on the same plane as
our other insular territory. But the ma,
1ority is on its mettle in the assertion of
the inperialist idea OF American col,
onies. and it may not be expected to
stahhy itself by silently establishing a
principle that is sure to plague its advo-
Gates in the future.
Democrats must watch the progress of
this measure with the deepest interest. I.
matters not what policy is finally decided
on with reference TO The government OF
tho Sandwich islanders. that policy will

REACHED A DEADLOCK.
CulminRtiOn Of Sensation in Italian
Chamber of Deputies.

ROME. April ga parliamentary dead
lock was reached today in the Italian
chamber of deputies. when the entire So
clalist group left the house as a protest
against violation Of the constitution.
The chamber was crowded at the open,
ing Of the session as the scene was an,
uclpated. The vice president. Signor
Palberd. took the chair, and read the
minutes Of the last meeting, at which
Signor Colombo was reelected.
Signor zanardelli. on behalf Of the con-
sttutional opposition, declared that he
considered the election null and void
Signor Pantay made similar statement
on behalf of the extreme left, announce
ing that they would withdraw and leave
the majority to carry out his cril1e
against parliamentary institutions"
All the factions cheered Signor Pentay.
and also the Socialists, who left the
chamber crying: Long Live the constAtu-
ent assembly" When they had gone the
parisans of Signor Giolitti and Signor
Zanardelli followed suit, with cheers for
the constituent assembly. Several Right
lists even Joined them. Over 15G deputies
thus left the hall, amidst a scene OF
great excitmeut.
Vice President Palberti then asked Sig
nor Colombo to resume the presidency OF
the chamber, which he did, amid loud ap-
plause from the majority. lie thanked
his supporters for reelection, which, lie
said. constituted the first compensation
for the moments of bitterness through
which he had passed. He then submitted
notifications of the rules OF the cham
Der. which were adopted unanimously, all
the opposition having retired. Signor
Toldl. Centerist, then moved that the
house adjourn until May 10.
The premier, Gen. PellouX, accepted
the proposal, and the chamber rose.

DUSTRIES.

Just to illustrate how the trusts regard
the imposition of even a Is per cent tariff
on exports and imports between Puerto
Rico and the United States. w. T. Towne.
president of the Puerto Rican Tobacco
company. states it to be hts opinion that
such tariff will keep Puerto Rlcan goods
out of the United States. being. In effect,
prohibitive. Under the proposed tariff. Mr..
Towne says, raw leaf tobacco would pay
an average of 515 cents per pound and
finished goods 7712 cents per pound. This
would be discrimination in favor OF
the trusts manufacturing in the United
States of $725 on each thousand pounds.
Such a discrimination would simply de-
stroy Puerto Rican manufactures for the
sole benefit OF the trusts, and would not
benefit the people of the United States a
particle.
