They finally did so and victory seems

There are several recourses for General

1t would be amusing If 1t were not
serious to hear the professional
Earnest Patriots who are trying to
pose as the leaders In the Americana
zation OF this group, congratulate
themselves and each other that there
is some chance of striking from the
Cullom bill the clause requiring a
property qualification for electors for
the Senate.
Would 1t make these Islands Amerl-
can to transfer the local law-framing
machinery to the monarchists? Would
it help to the realization of the dreams
of the 18th of January, 1898, to turn
over the Legislature to the men, who,
from that day until the 4th of July,
1898, opposed annexation with tooth
and nail? What do the Earnest Pa
triots want-a renaissance of Royal
ism without the crown? A Legisla-
ture that could be bought up, even by
Cinnamon, at $50 per head? A revi-
val of all the legislative corruption
and inefficiency of the past under Poly
nesian auspices? If so, and the
Earnest Patriots get the supposed
boon, they will obtain little else. If
any of them think that a native and
white ex-Royalist Legislature would
do anything for them. they are living
in FOOLS paradise. The motto Of
such a Legislature as could probably
be elected under free-for-all suffrage
would not be Hawaii for Americans,
but Hawaii for Notwithstanding
natives and their allies-every time.
There would be temperance of the
old crowd, while the new crowd,
Earnest Patriots though they might be,
would find themselves in very cold
corner
The interests of Americanism In
these Islands require a Senate of re-
sponsible men, and after that set Of
city charters comforting upon the
Common Councils and Mayors the
same sort of opportunity to serve the
real interests of the people that Is
sought for the Senate under the origi-
nal terms OF the Cullom bill. With
out these safeguards Americanism will
fare very badly In the local politics OF

The war correspondent who wrote
that Johannesburg could be safe
guarded by mounting guns on the vast
heaps of mine tailings that loom up
in the country outside may thank for
tune that he is never likely to find him
self among the defenders of such loose
jointed forts. A shell, particularly of
lyddite exploding on a heap of broken
rock would send the material flying in
all directions and thus make the place
u..tenable. Moreover the garrison's
guns could not find secure platforms on
shifting Stag. A great deal of amateur
military advice has been given to the
British Generals since the war in Natal
began-some of which they seem to
have taken-but none Of it is more
diverting than that which asks them
to take post where the enemy's missiles

Great Britain has not succeeded in
getting much help from the French
province in Canada. The sentiment of
the people there is strongly anti-Brit-
ish and is we'll expressed in the follow
ing extract from an editorial in the
newspaper organ of the Archbishop of
Quebec: Lift up your eyes, French
Canadians, for the day Of your redemp-
ton is at hand, You, beaten and con-
quered by England, ever hated and OPP
pressed by the race unfriendly to you,
whose children are forced to speak the
tongue Of their oppressors in the
schools of Manitoba, you shall at

you, and your rights respected by those
