THE EV ENING STAR. WASHINGTON. | WEDNESDAY . Marehb 31, 1807. « BY S. NOYES THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Was dailies.

Without ref- erence to the necessity of such a step, it is plain that ft ieaves the President more free than before to take up the matter of Hawalian annexaticn, which {s the only other question of international relationship of present importance. In its way it is ur- gent in its claims upon the attention of this government—not as a matter of days or weeks, to be sure, yet demanding con- sideration at the earliest possible oppor- tunity. There is no necessity for special investigations in this case. The fact is now public that the regularly established government of Hawall desires and offers annexation and it is well known that this seutiment is shared by a large majority of the people. The petition soon to be laid be- fore this government lacks nothing so far ax force and regularity are concerned. It can not be treated as a surprise nor as unwarranted by the conditions in Hawaii. This brings the United States to a direct consideration of whether it is desirable for it to undertake such an enterprise as xe addition of the Pacific fslands to its srritory. Such a question can be studied in the light of the known facts. The elements to be weighed are of two sorts, political and commercial. Can Ha- Wali be admitted into the nation upon such terms as to prevent any unsettlement of 1@ present basis of American affairs? Can United States safely neglect this op- portunity to secure a valuable strategic out- post and thus to prevent some other nation from obtaining it and using it to menace he safety of these coasts? Are the re- arces of Hawaii such as to guarantee at the new member of the Union will be self-sustaining? These are the which must be answered in reaching a con- in the premises. The information thus far at hand bearing upon all three of them tends to create such an attitude to- ward each query that annexation seem$ not only practicable and safe but ev here. questions n neces- ‘The group can readily be constituted « territory under a governor with all the sary requisite machinery for a:ministration, without in any way disarranging the ex- isting political conditions on the continent, leaving the question of statehood to be an- future developm The = ands are rich in resources and offer excep- yonal advantages to investors and home- seekers. It is now well established that the tite of immigration is so strong from Japan swered by that the balance of power is steadily and rapidiy passing into the bands of the Ja- who will in a very few years be in n to demand and re suffrage, fch under present conditions can only lead to the absorption by them of the re- ic and its transformation into a Japa- nese colony. There is but one other péssi- ity than this—should the United States decline the offer of annexation—and that is tne feretble occupation of the islands by some such aggressive power as Great Hritain, whose history as a land-grabber is such as to warrant this contingency, with all its dangers to the United States, being taken inte serious consideration. 2 ee Mr. Babcock’s Sentiments. Chairman Babcock’s declaration with ref- erence to the neecs and the future of the nation’s capital, at the banquet given by the citizens of the District in his honor last night, indieates that the best interests of the city are safe, so far as nis authority and influence are concerned. He appears to have seen Washington in the true per- spect “the capital of the greatest nation on earth,” with a future such as no ¢ther American community can expect provided this city’s needs and possibtiitic eee measured by those of the republic.

Mr. Thomas W. Gilmer, in a communica- tion to The Star, objects to the proposed statute prohibiting the exhibition in this District of kinetoscope pictures of the te- cent prize fight at Carson. It suggests to htm too much the spirit of “the old Puritan- weal blue Jaws.” The Star approves of © measure, and has said that if prize iighting may be so exhibited, so with equai propriety may such pictures be placed on view of cock fights, dog fights, bull fights ad so forth. Mr. Gilmer replies to this Ly ing out that a realistic picture of a sli fight $s om view at the Corcoran Art jallery. and declares that it attracts much ention, Very well. But suppose some enterpris- fag showman should kinetoscope a bull fight, with atl of its disgusting and repul- sive details, including the disemboweling of horses, and possibly of men, should he be able to exhibit in action the rushes and the whole brutaltzing drama? Would that story, thrown by a strong light on canvas, be @ fit one to be placed before an audience Yn any American city? Game cocks have been painted. They are beautiful birds. There ts 4 famous picture, or was, in London of a cock fight, repre- senting the vietor standing on the dead bedy of his antagonist, his neck stretched for she triumphal crow, and the steel gaff strapped to his leg, red with blood. An old bird fancier said of the picture, in praise, that he could almost hear the victor crow. Suppose that fight had been kinetoscoped, with all of the rushes and bloody flutter- ings of the birds. Would such a story in action be a fit one for public exhibition by lcense of the authorities? ‘Then there is the dog fight—another stir- ring theme for men with Zolaesque pencils. The game dog dies, but never surrenders. He will reach for his antagonist as long as there is life in him. But a more repulsive sight than a real dog fight can hardly be Imagined. If a kinetoscope should be trained on such an exhibition, and all of the details secured for repfoduction in ac- tion on canvas, would authorities eny- where be justified in licensing such a show? The prize fighter—the creature who prac- tices slugging for a living—is really below either the bulldog or the game cock. Why, therefore, should he receive any prefer- ence over them in public consideration? Why should the man who ow and con- trols @ bruiser be permitted to capitalize him through general exhibition, while the man who owns and fights game cocks and bulldogs 1s obliged to seek the seclusion of cellars to “pull off” his sport? As to the blue laws, they were not all offensive. The spirit of some of them ani- mates some of the best of the statutes on the books today. Mr. Hoar, it 1s a pleasure to observe, has secured a favorable committee report. in the Senate on his bill covering this matter. —_+-2____ Regulating Pennsylvania Avenue. The proposition to revoke the rule that warrants Pennsylvania avenue being con- sidered as two separate streets for the pur- poses of ordinary traffic has fts merits. ‘This regulation allows vehicles to be driven in either direction on each side, the “keep- to-the-right” rule, however, applying to each of the two sides just as to a separate street. The revocation would require all vehicles going east to use the south side and those moving west the north side. The city’s volume of business has greatly in- creased of late years and the streets are much more crowded than ever before. The popularity of the wheel has added to the demand for pavement space. The introduc- tion of rapid trai has aided the process and today the city’s chief thoroughfare is at times subject to severe and often dan- serous pressure. To regard the avenue as one street is to obtain at such times the full benefit of the great expanse, and while the revocation of the rule might interfere slightly with a few interests it would doubt- less cause a marked relief from the often perilous crowding. On the other hand it is urged that this would result in destroying what some regard as the chief value of the unusual width, the privilege of driving either way on each side and so, in many cases, avoiding the necessity of crossing the car tracks. The question is worth con- sidering, There are many thousands more people cencerned today than when the rule was drawn. — + +e —____ New Jersey railways are to be compelled to carry bicycles as baggage, in spite of much protesi.

From the New York Tribune. Pretty nearly all the commerce of Hawaii is with the United States, and, besides the ex-queen and her secretary, there are hardly any of its people who do not desire annexation. The anti-annexationists are all in this country, but they are not very nu- merous, and will not be found very in- fluegtial when the time comes for action. “The store where yeur promise to pay bays as much and for se little as cash.” Shop around!
