The Evening Bulletin thinks it is
idle to discuss the events Of 1898,
because annexation is an accom-
plished fact. We believe that our
contemporary will find it very
wise idea when, at the first election,
territorial or municipal, the men
who go to the ballot box have fresh
in their minds the events of 1898,
and the names of those who be-
trayed the Hawaiians. Many Of the
younger generation who were in
school yet in 1893 are voters now
and are studying the historical facts
connected with the '93 revolution
and will vote accordingly.

Mr.. HI. E. Cooper, recently Of San
Diego, now of the Roman mansion
in Manoa valley, violated the quar-
antine regulations on the occasion
of trip to Kauai. Having return
ed from the Garden Island he sub
mits himself to an interviewer and,
tell it not in Gath, gives first
class puff to the McBryde Sugar
Company, whose estate he seems to
have examined very closely, as his
report shows. Before starting for
Kauai he claimed to be going on
business pertaining to the Attorney
Generals Department. Sugar in
Hawaii has always been an insinu-
ating article; but it remained for
the Attorney General to relate how
thoroughly it pervades his depart
ment.

Peruvian artillery was ordered to be
fogged, and there was no regulation

was a severe disciplinarian, decided to
defer the carrying out of the order un-
til the official scourge, which he at
once requisitioned. should arrive. 1t
was about a year before the cat was
supplied by the authorities. BY that
time the soldier had been dead several

The GOVERNMENT, AND ALEXAN.
DRIA COUNTY. Washington pa
psrs for toe past few days have been
suggesting that the government, before
constructing the proposed Memorial
Bridge, will desire the annexation of
part OF Alexandria county to the Dis
trict of Columbia. Senator Daniel, it
will be remembered, when his attention
was called to the matter, said there
would probably be no objection to the
government having guard at the
southern end of the bridge. The gov
eminent owns the Arlington estate of
LOO acres, lying on the Potomac
river, and should the Memorial Bridge
be built the southern end would rest on
the Virginia shore. The State OF Vir-
ginia has already coded to the United
States Jurisdiction over the Arlington
estate, so that the government now has
as complete and absolute jurisdiction
over the 100 acres as it has over the
District of Columbia or any other fed
eral property.
