Governor Dole

Ihose who have had occasion during the
past few years to note with care the career
OF Sanford b. Dole of Hawaii can give the
heartiest approval to the action of the
President in appointing that honest and
capable man the first territorial gov
ernor of the islands. Throughout the story
of the last years of the corrupt monarchy.
OF ihe revolt against the crown of the in
SttutiOn of a republic of the long fight
for annexation and. finally of the reorgan-
lzation of Hawaii under the American flag
the figure of Dole stands forward in a clear
light of purity and honor. Endowed with
gracious, attractive personality. Mr. Dole
combines gentleness of nature and breadth
and strength of mind. He was beyond
comparison the right man for the irving
emergency through which Hawaii had to
pass in order to secure the peace of Amer
lean sovereignty. His fair judicial mind
enabled him to grasp all views of the per-
picking problems which arose to obstruct
the course of the revolutionists. His hon
orabie character and regard for the rights
OF others eadeared him to the natives while
holding frIniy to him the respect and fideI-
lily or the whites. As president of Hawaii
he was easily one of the abest of modern
rulers and his high character was reflected
IN the men with whom he was surrounded.

strength. purity and character.
1t was most fortunate for Hawaii that
such men as Dole and his colleagues took
the helm Of state. Had the little govern

the story of the beautiful Pacific commu-

opportunity for corrupt practices was at
hand But the years of Hawaii's travail
mad produced stanch, Christian men, capa-
bic. when the occasion arrived, of under
taking the responsibility of government and
guiding the craft along the channels of
decency, order and morality Those men
were the product of the peculiar conditions
which have at length delivered this lovely
cluster OF islands. into our care for perma-

administration for the territory it was most

striven without stint for the attainment of
a nigh ideal of government who had with
stood insistent pressure toward dishonor-
able ends. who had conserved the interests
and won the affections of the natives while
suppressing their traditional but corrupt
rule, should be given charge of affairs
Thus Hawaii. thanks to the excellent iudg-
ment of President Mckinley, passes into a
new stage of existence. but under the same
competent guidance that has held her clear

The Admiral May Get Left.

Admiral Dewey has declared in an inter-
view that he will be opponent of BRYAN

naval operations and at all social functions
the admiral has been conspicuous for his
promptness. He has always begun the on
erations and appeared at the functions
ahead of time. but 1t looks now as Il he

every one of them sends delegation pledg-

for him to begin getting delegates. He

wonderful Discovery OF silver and

The firm of Branscombe & Sonne-
mann. Spokane mining men. have
bad force of fifteen men at work at
South Mountain all Winter. and they
have discovered the mother lode
that runs through that section from
the spurs OF which so much rich ore
was taken in the early days. The
discovery is OF the highest import
ance, as it promises to lead to the
opening of q silver.lead district that
will rival the Cpur d'Alenes.
Mr.. Sonnemann, who came direct
from South Mountain to Boise, leav'
ing day for Spokane, says the
mother lode had been opened up for
distance of two miles and sunk in
several places. some of the inclines
being 200 feet deep.
"There is nothing in the Ceur
d'Alenes," he went on, THAT beats
it. 1t is the biggest silver-lead prop
osition I have ever seen."

and to the Point.
Busy people who have not kept
posted on the events leading up to
the present difficulty in China, will
find in the following from the San
Francisco Post concise statement
Of the case:
1.-The most curious phase of the
whole business, from the modern
standpoint, is the fact that there has
been no formal declaration of war
by any Of the nations engaged. The
diplomats have not had an opportu-
nifty to exchange notes. the vari..
ous ministers have not been consult
ed, the governments have not issued
any 'ultimatums,' there has been
no red tape in the preliminaries. and
thus far everybody is declaring that
war does not actually exist. Nobody
seems to know what the real status
of affairs is. A Chinese mob UNDER
took to drive the foreigners out of
the country; the nations of which
those foreigners are citizens object
ed; the Chinese Government made q
pretense of quelling the revolt; the
foreign nations, each suspicious of
the other, advanced to the assistance
of the Chinese Government; the lat
ter, fearing that this movement was
merely q mask of conquest, an
nounced its ability to control its own
internal affairs and prohibited the
further concentration of foreign
troops on Chinese territory; the for
eign nations persisted and the fight
ing is on. Formal declarations of
war will probably come later. There
will be time enough to formulate
in the lull of battle.

the Chinese, if they decide to fight
it out with the western invader, will
give the foreign devils all they
want to handle before the strife ends,
and may be able to dictate their own
terms of peace. The allied powers
are already talking of armies aggre-
eating 100, 900 men each as the nec-
essary force to bring China to a re-
alizing sense of her utter inferiority
to the rest of the world. In the
meantime the navies which these
powers have been building at enor-
nous expense for the protection OF
their coasts from each other are use.
