Sulus and the other Mohammedans,
all the lesser tribes indeed, would rebel;
ard our war for humanity" could only
end in dreadful scene of revolution,
which, finally, some European power
or powers would put down with the
strong hand.
The simple truth is, as President Me-
Kinley once phrased it, that duty and
destiny require us to go forward in the
path which has been cleared for us by
events. We cannot evade 1t without
accusing ourselves of fruitless warning
and of a desire to supplant the hui
name with the merely expedient. En-
barrassments will come, but we in
vited them and must deal with them
manfully; losses will occur, but they
will have their compensation. Neither
duty nor destiny demand that we shall
ordain an empire, nor have the Am
erican people any thought of such a
radical departure from their ancient
principles. 1t is for us, rather to
spread the institutions of the republic;
to raise feebler peoples into the dignity
and power wherein we have our own
estate. And in such a task patriotism,
not partisanship, will lead the way.

AMERICAN MUNICIPALITIES.

The Bulletin has an affecting faith in
the idea that an American can do no
wrong and that, If a custom or institu-
ton has the American hall mark, it
must perforce be pure and undetiled.
We can imagine how the Bulletins
heartstrings were wrenched when so
many American States adopted the
Australian ballot system and when so
many American cities borrowed, more
or less completely, the Glasgow scheme
of the public ownership of public utili-
ties. Perhaps the horror of this expe-
rience is what leads the Bulletin to de-
mand in such stentorian tones that
Americans, the acknowledged essence
and salt of our common humanity, as
we fifty describe ourselves, shall be
permitted to show in Hawaii how wise
ly we can plan and manage municipal
government. With look of virtuous
reproof at the Advertiser our evening
contemporary says: American citi-
zens can be trusted to build elevators
and construct city charters that will
work well and keep public welfare
travelling smoothly forward in the
grooves of American progress" Shade
of Tweed, the great job-chasing expo
nent of American municipalities, how
patriotic this sounds. Records of Hugh
Mclaughlin, Boss Croker Mayor Alt
gelt, Bath House John, Martin Kelly
and Blind Boss Buckley, why do you
not illuminate this tribute to the in
fallibility of the American municipal
idea? 1t is all untrue then as the re-
formers say, that American taxpayers
have been robbed of $500 000. 900 during
the past twenty years through the mis-
management of municipal concerns
1t is for mere pastime that the Seth
Lows and James d. Phelans, the Patti
sons and Parkhursts and Mazets have
sweat blood to obtain new charters and
then to defend them from the rapacity
of our infallibly virtuous friend the
professional American politician? We
have been having a nightmare over
American municipalities when we
ought to have been treating ourselves
to a. glimpse of paradise.
Granting, therefore, that an Ameri.
can municipality is perfection in Its
last analysis and beyond all compari-
son with a system which merely gives
good government with few officials and
small expense, We come back to the
prospect of getting it for Hawaii. What
is the outlook here? Are we to have
American or Hawaiian municipalities
Are the partisans of Wilcox, Kaulif
and Observation-Disclosures Mobile fratrun
; to give us our charters and show
how they are worked or are they to LEI
the task devolve upon the white job
chasers on the basis of "divvy?" Sc
much depends on an intelligent answer
TO this question that we can scarcely
wait for the Bulletin to make its even
ing appearance.

ENGLISH FOR HAWAII.

1t is a proper rule to establish one
official language for the courts. schools
and legislature of Hawaii and that one
the language of the country to which
these Islands have been annexed. One
of the surest means of keeping UP
racial divisions and antipathies and of
preventing that national homogeneity
which is the hope and stay of Ameri-
can Union, is to encourage aliens who
come under the flag to perpetuate their
native speech and customs. On the
Mainland there are no foreign schools
kept up at public expense; courts and
legislatures speak the English tongue
and no other; and as a result the
younger classes of foreign residents
are encouraged by the elders and COM
PEELED by circumstances, to acquire the
language of the land in which they
live. Having gone that far they de-
velop their citizenship along American
and not foreign lines and become SO
patriotic that they can generally be de-
pended on to stand by the United
States even in quarrels with the native
country of their parents.
What has been done for Germans,
Frenchmen, Italians, Portuguese and
all the rest must be done for Hawaii
ans. 1t Is the duty of the United
States, having made them Americans
in name, to also make them Americans
in fact. The process may at times
chafe, but 1t is obviously the only thing
to do. The mature Hawaiians. too old
to learn a foreign tongue, perhaps re-
sent the change; but let Ii be their
consolation that their sons are thereby
enabled to secure the full privileges of
citizenship which can only come under
the Act of Annexation to males OF
proper age who read and write the
English language.

When the Hawaiian asks why he
should be a Democrat he Is told that 1t
Is because Cleveland, Democrat now
repudiated by his own party, tried TO
restore the Queen. 1t ought not to be
forgotten. however, that Cleveland, at
ter raising high hopes in the Queens
breast, abandoned her cause on pre-
texts given him by his Democratic en-
voy. Mr.. Willis. Nor could the Queen
and her friends induce him to reopen
the subject. After that, annexation
was largely brought about by the
hard work of Democrats like Morgan
and Berry, who kept enough of their
own men in line for 1t to make good
the secessions in Republican ranks

GREAT TRUTHS.

Great truths are portions of the soul of
man;
Great souls are portions of eternity;
Each drop of blood that e'er through true
heart ran
With lofty message, ran for thee and
me;
For Gods law, since the starry song be-
gan,
Hath been and still for evermore must
be
That every deed which shall outlast
times span
Must goad the soul to be erect and
free
Slave Is no word of deathless lineage
sprung
Too many noble souls have thought
and died,
Too many mighty poets lived and sung;
And our good Saxon. from lips puri-
fed
With martyr fire, throughout the world
hath rung
Too long to have Gods holy cause de-

ON The WIND BLOWN COAST OF
HAWAII.

written for the Advertiser.)
In a pause and hush
of the waves wild rush
The cry of the plover came,
Sharp and clear
1t reached my ear,
And seemed to be calling my name.
"Oh come with mel!
1t called In glee,
"Where the sea makes war on the land,
Where the rocks are grey,
With the flying spray
And the wind drives over the sand.'
Oh come! Oh come to the sea so bright,
Where the merry waves dance high
To the cliff it sped in joyous flight
Nor paused as it hurried by
Then come away, with me to play
Where 1 see the white spray fly,
Tossed in the air
Or lost over there
Where the sun-warmed rocks are dry
And the seagull white,
In her slow-winged fight,
Calls, Come away-away-
To dart and whirl
Where the wild waves curl,
And to swing through the drifting
spray"
And I will haste on this windy day
Where the merry waves dance high,
And call to the plover cireling gay,
And the white gull up in the sky.
20 come! o fly!
If wings had /
Not a rock nor a cave would miss
I'd skim, I'd soar,
Long the purple shore
Where the pillows hurl and hiss;
For the tide is high,
And the plover cry
AS down on the marsh they roam;
And the whitecaps dance,
On the blue expanse,
And the rocks hold the drifts of foam

IMPERIAL VOLUNTEERS.
Thousands Out to See Them March
 Through London Streets.

London, Oct 29.-The City Imperial Nolunteers, who arrived at Southamp- ton, from South Africa Saturday on the British transport Aurania (of the Cunard llne), reached here by train thls morning, marched through Lon uon along streets packed by thousands ana received tumultuouS greeting
 The postponement of London's wei come until to-day diminished the num- Der of spectators, but t..e enthusiasm could scarcely be more genuine Early in the day Queen Victoria sent mes sage to the returning troops, welcom- ing them and inQuiring as to their health. The Prince of Wales came to town and viewed the procession from Marlborough house. The other royal ties watching the little band of men in khaki uniforms were Princess Louise, the Duchess of Argyle and Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, and very many distinguished people,
 The clubs i'll picadilly presented an unusual spectacle. Hundreds of wo- men were at the windows, these sacred precincts having thrown open their doors in honor of the great occasion. All along the line of march festoons of flags and other decorations present ed q brilliant spectacle.
 In addition to the City Imperial Vol unteers themselves, there were in the procession the bands of twelve volun- teer regiments, and -I,0OO regulars and volunteers lined the route.
 Among the most interesting features of the display was the presence in the procession of the invalided City Im- perial Volunteers in carriages flying the Red Cross flag and the assemblage at conspicuous point in Fleet street of the few remaining survivors of the Balaclava charge.
 The locomotives which drew the City Imperial Volunteers trains from Southampton were respectively named "yictoria,'' Roberts" Powerful and ''The Maine." To the last the inva- lids were entrusted.
 The march was broken by stoppages at the site of Temple Bar. where the lord mayor, Sir Alfred Newton, wei comed the return of the regiment he originated; at St PauFsS Cathedral, where there was a short thanksgiving service, and at the Guild hall, for the civic reception. S,l2 !'a9t9l

JOHN H. DILLON ESCORT
Coming to Waterbury Tonight in Full
 Force,

Force.
 This mornings New Hh, en PalIadi- um says: "The John H. Dillon escort will meet at the Central green tonight at o'clock sharp and march to the Union depot, where special train, which is to leave at 6:30, will take them to Waterbury. Samuel L. Rron- sen, the democratic nominee for so- ernor, is to go with the party. and he will attend the big democratic rally to be given in his honor in that city. An elaborate display of fireworks has been planned and twenty-five of the well known democrats in the state will address the meeting on the Water bury green. Among them will be Judge Blydenburgh, Samuel l.. Bron- son, Bourke Cochran, Isaac Wolfe, Mayor Kilduff and Greene Kendrick. With the exception of two or three of the most prominent. each speaker is limited to a ten minutes speech, and it is expected that the New HaTeners will Ee able to start on their return trip about midnight. The party is a unique one in every sense of the word. Every man who is a believer in :he principles of democracy is invited to join the party. and there will be abso- lutely, no expense to those who partici- pate. Over 1000 people are expected to go. John H. Dillon. of the firm oe Dillon & Douglass, has made al the arrangements for the party and every item of expense will be defrayed by hiin personally. This includes the spe- cial train to and from Waterbury, a luncheon in Waterbury. the hiring of the Second regiment band and Wa terbury band to play during the parade and the presenting of each man who goes with a chrysanthemum. The rally itself is primarily due to MT Dill Ions efforts. During recent trip of his to Waterbury he learned that Sam uel l.. Bronson, although formerly a resident of that city, had not been seen there in many years and tha. the democrats of that place wanted him to visit them. Mir Dillon promptly communicated with Mir Bronson in re- gard to the matter and the celebration which will be held tonight is the re- suit. Every democratic club in New Haven was notified last night of tba trip and the members cordially invited to take it in"

WILSON'S ANNUAL REPORT.
He Gives Much Attention to the Sub
 ject of Coast Defences.

Washington, Oct 29.-The import ant subject of coast defense is the first considered in the annual report of J. M. Wilson, chief of engineers. Generally speaking, he reports most gratifying progress in the execution of the various projects during the last fiscal year. Because the report in cIuded the fiscal year only, the sub ject of the destruction of the Calves ton defences by the September hurri- cane is left for treatment in subse- quent report.
 Some of the points of interest treat ed by General Wilson are as follows: The torpedo system has been under |! careful study by expert. officers in the light of the experience. gained during the Spanish-American war, but so far only minor changes have been pro- posed.
 Up to the present the thirty locali- ties have been selected for defense -sn the coast. No formal projects were added to the list during the past year. But preliminary projects have been framed for the defence of the entrance to Chesapeake Bay. and the defence of several other localities is under con sideration. Attention has been given to the subject of coast defences for Porto Rico and the Hawaiian Islands, and in view of the importance of these island possessions, General Wilson says active measures for their defence should be deferred no longer. A de tailed project for the defense of the harbor of San Juan de Porto Rico in- wolves an estimated expenditure of | $1 ,SO0,OOO Preliminary projects for Pearl harbor and Honolulu are also already available and ready for exc cution as soon as congress shall ap- propriate funds. The great changes in the character of guns and armor and ships since the Endicott beard framed the coast defence plans now under execution have involved changes in { the plans.

TOOK CHILD AWAY.
Little Seven YearOld Girl Taken
 From Her Mother.
Taken


 Mrs Norah Dunne is again without her child, little girl of seven years of age The child was removed to-day from the custody of a Mrs Hoyt Of 15 West Main street with whom she stays while her mother earns her lly- ing in the factory every day. The child was removed by order of the county commissioners by Deputy Sheriff Rigney and d MT Matthias, an officer of the county home. The lat ter bore q note to the sheriff which he claimed came from the county com missioners. The note did not state the cause of removing the child. Before the child was taken out of Mrs Hoyts custody Mrs Dunne was sent for ana told to be at the sheriH's ofhce at certain hour. When she arrived there, her child was on the way to the coun- ty home. About a year ago Mrs Dunne had considerable difficulty in locating her child which had been given by the officers of the county home to couple named Wannamaker, members of the Salvation army, living Tn this city. Even after the distracted Wo- man had located her child she eAperl- enced the greatest difficulty ID get ting her into her care and now she mas been taken away from her again Wlth- out any explanation whatsoever sne is distracted. The greater part or the afternoon she spent around the court house trying to get from SherlH RiS ney some explanation of this singular occurrence. but the sheriff could give her neither cause nor explanation.

building and tore away part or the front wall. Nobody up to this time could be found who saw any of the employees leave the building with the exception Of four girls and several boys who had evidently left the build ing to get the lunch for the other em- ployes.
 Following the first explosion came the second. third and fourth, and then came the shattering of glass in every direction, the shouts of men and the screams of the women and children, many of whom were cut by the flying pieces of glass. The force of the eX- ploSion shook the foundations of the buildings clear to Wall street, where it was thought that another earth quake had taken place.
 Engine % was the first to get to the scene of the fire and her officer imme- diately turned in second alarm. The explosion followed after the second alarm. When the firemen saw the wall of the building coming down on top of them the fled for their lives, leaving the engine to be crushed be meath the falling wall. The wall fell outward and directly upon the station of the Ninth Avenue elevated railroad, which was carried away.
 Joseph Beck, an employe of Tarrant & Co. was seen after the explosion. his head Swathed in bandaEes, and his right arm hanging limp by his side. He said there were about 200 girls in the building, but many of these he be- 1ieved had escaped by the fire escapes There were at least seventy-five of the girls who could net possibly have got safely out of the building. They were all eating lunch at the time of the fire.
 Tarrant & Go had large stock of ether and alcohol, which they used in the manufacture of perfumes. J. 1T. Mohlman & Co. grocers at 330 Green wich street. were soos i'll the midst of the flames after. the explosion oc- cured. It was not long before the entire block. from 253 to 2G5 was burning fiercely. The firemen fought the flames consistently and nt half past one they succeeded in pre- venting the further spread of the fire. The lower half of the block below Warren street was saved from utter destruction It was not known wheth- CT any firemen were injured or not. Company % did not lose any men when they fled from beneath the walls. It is reported. however. that Chief Cruger and fifteen men of No 10 com pany are missing. A girl employed in the Tarrant building said that the girls eat their luncheon on the fourth floor. and said that but few could have escaped from that floor.
 The fire was still burning at press hour.
