THE WAY TO FIX OUR COLONIES.

David Starr Jordan, the President of Stanford
Univ vrsity recently suggested in view of the cond
tons in Hawaii that the Islands be made political
division of California.
The white population of Hawaii is divided into
factions which cordially detest each other account
of the distribution of the offices in accordance with
what the Honolulu Republican terms family
compact" What with their squabbling and fight
ing the patronage, conditions in the Island
not of an ideal character. When annexation was
first proposed it was assumed that those who advo-
Gated closer relations with the United States were
animated solely by patriotic motives II the Hawaiian
newspapers correctly informed the real purpose
it now appears was to secure perpetual monopoly
of the official oaves and fishes.
1t is not easy to understand how the situation
would be improved by making Hawaii part of the
State of California, 1t is 1900 miles from San
Francisco to Honolulu, and although the Califor
mans have long been noted expansionists, it is
doubtful whether their desire for territorial acquis
tions would induce them to extend their boundaries
far enough into the Pacific Ocean to take in the vol
canoes. lepers Japanese, coolies and untutored
natives of our Hawaiian possessions, The men of
California have never shrunk from deeds OF daring,
and their enterprise knows no limits Buteven they
might finch at the idea of making Hawaii part of
their State.
There is far more desirable territory near the
Golden Gate than the volcanic Islands of the Pacific.
New England contemporary suggests that if
it is practicable to annex Hawaii to California it
might be well to make Guam county of Rhode Is
land. Guam has its troubles as we'll as Hawaii. A
year or so ago it was put through a reforma
tory process by the Naval Governoro of the Island who
found that the matrimonial customs of the natives
were not in keeping with the more rigid system in
vogue in the United States outside of illinois, Okla
homa and the Dakotas. Their practices IL the mat
ter of debt paying were also of an unconventional
character In both respects they have been reform
ed by vigorous methods, and they measure al
most up to the Rhode Island standard.
1T the problem of our new possessions s to be
solved by ackng them onto the favored States in the
Union Massachusetts is entitled, by reason OF it's
loyalty, to absorb the Philippines IL the Philip
pines annexed to Massachusetts, the doctrin-
aires of the Bay State would have an opportunity to
demonstrate the soundness of their theories in res
pect to racial questions They would cheerfuly sub
mt of course to the principle of majority rule and
esteem it honor to be governed by the heterogen-
elements which compose the population of the
Philippines If Louisiana and Mississippi ought to
be ruled by Negroes, why should not the little
brown men rule Massachusetts AT any rate Massachu
setts ought to be given chance to prove that it's
