ure of seli-government consistent
with the welfare" OF any people is
the same measure OF self govern
ment which the people of the
United States enjoy under repub-
lican institutions. But the Repub-
lican party is not engaged in the
business of spreading republican
institutions. 1t is apparently a
firm believer in crown colonies
governed by his Imperial Majesty
Emperor William the First, OF
Canton, Ohio. "The largest meas
ure OF self-government consistent
with their welfare" is a phrase
worthy OF George III, "a once famous
ruler Of Great Britain, whose ex-
ample our imperial master at
Washington emulated with touch
ing fidelity in the matter OF the
Porto Rican tariff.
The platform contains number
Of planks Of minor importance, but
the leading declarations are as
enumerated above. The hope is
expressed that "a way may be
found, honorable alike to both
contending parties. to terminate
the strife" between the Dutch re-
publics Of South Africa and the
British Empire. No sympathy
with the republics which are
about to be destroyed is expressed,
no desire manifested that their in
dependence may be preserved.
Probably in the final settlement
the Republican party would favor
the application Of the same prin-
ciple which it advocates for the
Filipinos-"the largest measure Of
self government consistent with
their welfare" That means, in
Lord SalIsbury's blunt words, not
a "shred Of their independence
shall remain" The Republicans
ought to be as candid as their
British allies when outlining their
intentions respecting the future
government of the Philippines.

ignoring the Democrats.

We have stated heretofore that
the United States Brewers Associ.
alton at their recent convention
ignored the leading Democrats in
Congress, Notwithstanding they
had fought so valiantly, in COM
mittee and on the floor Of the
House, TO bring about reduction
Of the beer tax, Several Repub-
lican Congressman, who voted for
the tax and advocated by their
votes the continuance OF the same,
were honored by the Association,
among them being Congressman
Adams, a Republican from Phila-
delphia, who was even selected to
respond to a regular toast, 1.-THE
United States" in which he eulo-
gized the President and his Admin
istration in the highest terms.
Many ofthe leading Democrats in
Congress considered this action
on the part Of the brewers secre-
tary as an affront and insult to
them, and as a proof that he cared
for and only catered to the Repub-
lican party.
Furthermore, many of our
friends in Congress have stated to
us emphatically that they did not
honestly believe that the Associa-
ton, in spite OF all its shouting,
wanted a reduc ction ofthe beer tax,
because it was controlled by and in
the interests Of the English svndi-
Gates, which are gradually getting
control of all the breweries IN the
country. They said that these
large corporations did not care, in
fact would rather have the tax con.
tinued, so as to freeze all the
smaller brewers out Of existence.
They supported this statement by
showing that several OF the leading
officers OF the United States Brew
ers' Association were members OF
the English Syndicates, and that
even its President, Rudolph Brand,
was an employe Of that corpora
ton. Be this as it may, the SEN
TINEL knows that the American
brewers are in favor OF the reduc-
ton Of the tax and will nearly al
vote for and support the Demo.
cratic party which wants the tax
reduction.

we have. The work for American
missionaries is in this country"

Hawaii AssimiIated.


AT midnight OF June I3 the Gov
ernment OF the so called "Repub-
lie OF Hawaii" ceased to exist and
the islands became a territory of
the United States under a special
scheme Of government enacted by
Congress in March last and ap-
proved by the President on April
80. This marks the consummation
OF the plan formed by several hun
dred American residents OF Homo
lulu, who on January II, 1898, in
concert with Minister J. L. Stevens
and with the help of marines from
the cruiser Boston, effected rev.
olution, deposed Queen Liliuo-
kalani, holsted the Anne ricau flag,
proclaimed a republic and an
nounced program Of annexation
to the United States. But for the
assistance oil the American troops
the handful OF reVolutionists would
not have ventured upon their en-
terprise, which was clearly unwel-
come to the whole native popula-
ton. The revolution had been
arranged, il seems, at Washington
and the so.caIled republic-it was
in reality an oligarchY OF foreigners
was organized in the last months
Of the HARRISON Administration
and treaty OF annexation was laid
before the Senate by President
Harrison. President Cleveland re.
called the treaty from the Senate,
and, not approving the high
handed proceedings Of Minister
Stevens, recalled that gentleman
and sent Commissioner Blount to
ascertain the facts. In the Com
missioner's report the plotting and
violence oil the first step Of "expan-
sion" were exposed. The flag
having been hoisted without the
official assent ofthe United States
Government, it was accordingly
hauled down, to the great disgust
ofour imperialists. Mr.. Cleveland
did not, however, undo what had
been effected by the misuse OF
American troops or restore Queen
Liliuokalani to her throne, but ac-
cepted the accomplished tact and
LETT the 1900 Americans to rule
100 900 inhabitants OF Hawaii.
When President Mckinley took
office the annexationists renewed
their activity, and on June 6, 1907,
a new treaty OF annexation was
signed bY representatives OF the
United States and of the Republic
OF Hawaii. The treaty has been
ratified, and after much delay
laws have been enacted, as already
stated, to define the relation of
Hawaii to the United States. Ha-
waii has been incorporated with
the United, but has been given
such special provisions OF law as
seemed to be called for by its ex-
ceptional position. Porto Rico |

in leading editorial headed "Mr.
Ottendorier Mistake" upbraids
that gentleman in strong language
for stating that the majority OF the
German Americans will likely op-
pose the Administration.
Says the Post in part:
II the Post were to speak Of German
Americans as Mr.. Otendorfer has
spoken ofthem, it would expect them
to resent It's utterances as an insult. If
the Post should at any time speak of
those citizens in the Ottendorfer manner.
it would do so with a deliberate intent
to insult them. For the Post is unable
to conceive ofth possibility OF what
politicians used to call "the solid
German vote" There never has bean
IN our politics such a thing as the
German-Americans "votlng as bodv."
and every passing year decreases the
possibility Of such a sinister cousumna.
ton. But Mr.. Ottendorier, as reported
IN the New York HeyaAZ, Jumps all the
German Americans in one huge mass,
and dumps them all on one side of the
political fence. He says:
German-Americans feel that they
have been misled and BETRAYED by
President Mckinley. Just as they were |
lour years ago, theY are now opposed TO /
the unlimited coinage OF silver st anv
ratio. They dread the uncertainty |
that would follow silver victory. But |
IN the imperislistic principles Of the /
Mckinley Republicans they see a tangi |
bic evil which theY.will reject. In their |
dilemma they will accept that which |
they fear the least, and as a body thev |
they will cast their votes, l believe, for |
BRYAN.
It is not the fact that Mr.. Ottendorier
selects the Bryan side as the recipient |
OF his deposit that ofends our sense
Of Propriety, not to say decency. Had
he landed all Of the voters for whom he
so confidently speaks on the Mckinley
side, his ohense would have been equally
palpable. What we find fault with, and
what we believe will strike the average

Scientific Safe "Cracking.,

rious way. among others, a $4,000
square safe of the most approved con-
struction was attacked by inserting in
the crevice about the locked door
1910 ounces of nitroglycerin. and in
eight minutes after the operation of
loading was begun the charge was
fired, with the result that the whole of
the jamb below the door was blown
out and a hole made in the door of suf-
ficient size to admit the hand and arm,
while the doors and divisions of the
interior compartments were completely
shattered. On repeating the operation
with "A ounces of forcite dynamite the
