It, at its own expense, until otherwise

of the Governor of Hawaii" By the
courtesy of the Governor the United
States Court was sheltered in the Ju-
dietary building as well as could be
done at the time; and so far as we
know the Federal officials are entirely
satisfied with what they got.
As to real estate transactions it Is
not the duty of citizens of the United
States to sell property for less than it
will bring In the market at private sale,
simply because the Federal govern
ment Is customer. Such philanthropy
is not exercised at Washington or New
York or San Francisco nor anywhere
else under the flag, and there is no rea-
son to expect 1t here. No doubt army
and navy circles" would be glad to
see Hawaiis best hotels and drives
given over to their exclusive use, but
the people of this Territory are Amer
lean citizens with the same property
rights as other American citizens and
cannot be expected to manage their be-
longings on the plan of a gift enter
prise. Nor do the President and Con-
gress expect them to do so.
Needless to say. there is no desire or

We find in the Independent this In
terestlng comment on a matter OF To-
cal concern:
n citizen of this city, spending the
winter in Washington. writes TO friend
here that in army and navy circles at
the capital the feeling exists that the
rabid anneNatiOnists of these Islands,
having secured their ends are now do
ing their utmost to bleed the national
treasury to the limit. This feeling is no
doubt aggravated by statements made by
United States officials residing here. 1t

The Nation says editorially:
The protected sugar interests should

have to face. by resisting any and
every measure for the relief of Cuba

We doubt that any policy save the
ultimate one of self-defense could in
duce the American people to annex any
more Spanish-negroid possessions. The
blood of the Cubans is not desired in
the veins OF our body polite; and eX-
pansion has gone far enough now to
cause alarm even among those who be-
lieve in wider boundaries.

On certain railroads in the East first
class cars have telephones which, at
large stations where waits occur, are
connected with the general telephone
system of the town and the long dis
lance lines of big circuit. The pas

converse briefly with waiting friends

wireless communication at sea, the

Thomas c. Platt, Senator from New
York, will sue VIM. A. White of Kan
sas because OF an article in McCure's
Monthly wherein Mr.. White pictures
Mr. Plat as ''senile imbecile." While
libel suits are rarely good investments
for any one concerned, Mr.. Plat could
easily recover, even from jury of his
enemies, in case like that. The Sem
ator from New York has his infirmi-
ties. but they are not those of intellec-
tual decay. He is now what he was
twenty years ago, keen and brilliant
party chief, often mistaken but never
SO because Of mental blight. Possibly
he will think better of suing Mr.. White.

The Danes of St. Thomas are hostile
now to union with America. This Is 1
marked change of sentiment since th.r-
ty years ago when the people there
ratified President Grants plan Of pur-
chase. Rumor says that the Danish
colonial officials have worked up a Icy
alist feeling in their part of the Yves
Indies, using the unfortunate aspects
of American rule in Porto Rico to cause
prejudice. 1t cannot be said, however,
that the protests of the St. Thomas
people have had much effect at copen-
hagen.
