Browbenting the Commissioners. It is nigh time to enter a protest against the browbeating methods employed by out- ide persons who seek to do business “with rict government. A case immedi- in point is the threat of the repre- ative of a New York printing firm to «rry complaints to President McKinley if the Commissioners do net award the con- for the official printing for the next to that coreern. Aside from the fact threat is in all probability futile, belief that the President y the least attention to it, the episode illustrates the unbusinesslike ten- of some fersons to question the au- rity and the capacity of the Commts- ners in their conduet of the municipal busin ‘The threat to go over the heads of the Commissioners to the President has been mate before, in cases of appointments for which the local authorities are alone responsille With President McKinley it has uniformly met with rebuke instead of encouragement. He has chosen the Com- ms with full confidence in their alility to administer their duties impar- tially and for the good of the community and he has far too important affairs pend- ing befere him to pause to rebuke his ap- peintees by directing them to do specific ngs contrary to their judgment. This incident is fair evidence of the im- of legislation that will enable joners to exclude all outside ers from the competition for the offi- printing and all other similar public works. It indicates that the bidders have #lsolutely no interest in the community and that they are seeking to take advan- tege of the Commissioners at every turn. The Commissiorers find themselves con- frented with a most delicate and embar- s task. The public printing {5 dcne under cgntract and the laws are such that the work must be thrown open to all bidders, notwithstanding the fact that it is to the rest interest of the District govern- ment to have the work dene at close range. The representative of the ouiside firm, whose bid is only siightly lower than tha of a local office, threatens to pillory the Commissicrers, to appeal from them to the Prsident. vith the intimation that they will not dare to stand in opposition te such an ipfluence. The District Com- mittees of Congress skould take cognizance of this affair and make a repetition impos- sible by passing a bill at the next session that will coafine the printing bids to estab- Lshments located within the District. Thts threat should operate to bar the New York firm trom further consideration at the hands of the Commissioners. —_—_ + «= Mrs. Dominis’ Glittering Generalities. If it were necessary to analyze the pro- ‘est against Hawaiian annexation filed by Dowminis to illustrate its utter futility oners Kinney which is 3 ue in the course of an interview with him. He shows how spe- ciously Mrs. Dominis is pleading when she -vokes special consideration for her out- reged j eople, fer it is plain that if that un- cessful ruler were to be restored to power the Hawaiians would speedily find themselves in a most aeplorable predica- “turn to the monarchical form of especially with Liliuokalant would surely invite Japanese . which could result only in the subjection of the native people uperior and enterprising Japanes 1t would mean extinetion within a very few years, politically and physically. As to Mrs. Dominis’ plea for her “crown lands” it appears that there is nothing in it what- ever. jealing in generalities without legal substance, and only adding to the absurdity of her position by laying claim to the divine right of kings that knows not the laws of individual rights and ignores property titles. It is well that Mrs. Do- minis has resided here long enough for the Senate to find out the manner of person that she is and to apply to her the stan- dards of worth and fitness.

Perhaps in displaying what he does not know about peetry, Mr. Alfred Austin has Lis revenge in tempting the critics to go and do likewise. dress - Calhoun having returned and made his report, the incident of his special mis- sion to Cuba is closed, and a comparison is in order between that mission and the one that was executed in Honolulu four years ago When Mr. Blount started for Hawaii it Was announced that he would investigate the whole situation in the islands as affected by the recent rev ition, and both sides prepared to receive him. But almost immediately upon his arrival it was dis- closed that he had come only as an agent to make out a case for the overturning of the new government and the restoration of the discreditable monarchy. He listened caly to those who had tales to tell in dero- gation of those who had participated in the revolution, and seemed especially anxious to connect the American minister and Captain Wiltz of the Boston with the deposition of the queen. His inquiries were all along that line, and those who sur- Founded him were all of one party. But one result was possible. Mr. Blount re- turned home with an undigested mass of scandal and malicious hearsay, all-directed in support of the end which the’President aiready had in view. The truth was some- thing the President had not sent for, could snot use in that particular business, and consequently did not get even an inkling of from his special gommissioner, who had followed instructions. Mr. Calhoun went to Cuba to investigate the circumstances of the killing of Dr. Tuiz, and at the same time to inform him- ‘self as well as lmited opportunities would ‘gilow as to the general condition of things in the island. He canferred with represen- tatives of all the factions—with those who favored putting down the rebellion at any cost, with autonomists, with annexation- ists, and with those who favored independ- ence. He turned his beck upon no respon- sible man who wanted to be heard and had views to express. He made himself the tool of no scandalous clique. He had neither the time nor the opportunity te ge all ever the island, but he weighed the conditions wherever he found them and returned home with news which, if not as full as was to be desired, was at least not im- peachable on the score of having been shaped by @ clique for a clique. From all that is Known, indeed, he acquitted him- self of his task well and fairly. What will foliow on the President's part is another matter. Of the two men Mr. Blount was far the more widely known, and had twenty years of service in Congress to his credit. He failed simply for placing himself unre- servedly at the command of a dull and heady Executive, who enjoyed antagoniz- ing public sentiment and fancied himself infallible. ———_>+e—___- Candidate and Pintform. Mr. Teller and Mr. Bailey both declare for Mr. Bryan for 1900, and speak, un- doubtedly, for a large number of men in their respective sections. But they do not sive the same reasons for their adherence to the Nebraska leader, and therein lies the difficulty that may be encountered three years hence in effecting again the union of last year. Discussion between now and then, not to speak of changes that may grow out of developments from time to time, may raise up some very formidable barriers between the factions that after the Chicago stampede last July worked together without much friction. Mr. Teller supports Mr. Bryan almost wholly because of the latter's champion- ship of silver. He probably agrees with him, too, as to an income tax. But be- yond those two questions the two men are in no sort of agreement. Mr. Teller is a protectionist, and as a republican of long standing indorses that party's interpreta- tion of the extent of the national power. The Chicago platform commanded his ap- proval only to a limited degree. Being obliged, however, to accept it or reject it in toto, his devotion to the cause of silver led him to subordinate everything elise to silver, and, protectionist and republican as he was, he swallowed the low tariff, and what was called “the free riot” provision of the deliverance. Can he and republi- cans like him be brought to do that again? On the other hand, Mr. Bailey likes Mr. Bryan because the latter represents the whole of the Chicago platform. This means a low tariff and restriction of the national power, as well as free coinage of silver and an income tax. Mr, Bailey con- fesses that at one time he had his doubts about Mr. Bryan's democracy, and that those doubts have only been removed by the fact that Mr. Bryan now stands for the Chicago platform in its entirety. Mr. Bailey makes the platform the test of dem- ocracy. He, in effect, says, indeed, that his support of Mr. Bryan is based upon Mr. Bryan's unqualified support of the platform. How are these differences to be com- posed? Mr. Teller and Mr. Bailey were brought into co-operation last year as the result of a stampede. A stampede of like character cannot be executed again. The platform for 1990, so far as the old issues are concerned, will have to be constructed in the light of full discussion. Will Mr. ‘feller stand another whack at protection? He is now supporting another protection tarift bill. Will Mr. Bailey aecept a plat- form with the tariff question left out or slurred over? He has just voted against the Dingley biil. —_—__ e=_—__—_ A Commendable Enterprise. There is a very general sympathy with the movement now under way to raise a sufficient fund for the commencement of the work of erecting a new home for the local ¥. M. C. A., which was burned out two years ago. Last night at a meeting of the committee in charge of the énterprise, which is composed of some of the leading church workers and citizens of the Dis- trict, the matter was put upon a plain business basis, but underneath that lies a wholesome sentiment. The city cannot afford to be without a well-equipped as- sociation. To this end a commodious building, fitted with the latest conven- iences, is a necessity. The community reaps a rich harvest from the investment, for this organization is one of the staunch- est elemenis for the moral welfare of the young men of the District now in exist- ence. It exercises a constant and direct influence upon them, individually and coi- jeotively, and infuses a better tone into the social atmosphere of the community. The building scheme appeals therefore to those who are not directly connected with religious work as well as to those who labor in that field. It comes home to every parent, regardless of his personal views as to sectarian worship. As the case now stands there is in hand the sum of $30,000, which must be duplicated before the work of construction can begin. When that is one the association will be able to float a loan that will carry the work to com- pletion and the organization’ will then be able to meet all its obligations and grad- ually liquidate its debt. F Street Sewer Accidents. Another accident occurred yesterday on the F street sewer construction. There are too many of these casulties and they indi- cate that proper precautions are not taken to guard the work. The street is one of the busiest thoroughfares in the city. It is crowded under normal conditions and of course when half the travel space is block- aded the congestion approaches the danger point. Yet the work has been carried on in such a helter-skelter fashion that {t is @ marvel that more disasters have not been reported. Yesterday the dirt-con- veyor was derailed, through being run at too high a speed. This device for filling the excavation with the same dirt that is taken from the trench a few rods ahead is @ great convenience and has been highly praised by engineers and the authorities of other cities, but it will rapidly become a deadly nuisance if it is eperated in the hap-hazard manner that has contributed to two or three of the accidents that have oc- curred. With such a work under progress, in the heart of the city, no single item of precaution and care can safely be omitted. ———_++2s—__.

It is fortunate, touching the point of early action, that the pros and cons of the annexation issue are so thoroughly un: derstood. The whole question has been threshed out in Congress and ‘the press, and there will be ao need of commiszions and long-winded inquiries to get at facts and deductions. The resources and strat- egical importance of the isiands are known to all. The Japanese threat has been aoe . measured.

From the Hongkong Press. There are not so many outlets for Japan- ese surplus labor that the Tokio govern- ment can afford to relinquish one where the conditions are so eminently favorable not alone for their remunerative employ- ment, but also for their efficient protec- lion. Had thé Japanese onl} discovered this field some tweniy years earlier there is littlé doubt but that the islands would have in good time failen under their dominion. Matters are complicated now by the presence of a large Chinese cle- ment, while the ruling element is Caucas- fan, and the United States takes them un- der the stars and stripes. Unless, how- ever, the American republic. sees fit to abandon its traditional policy and tncor- porate Hawali into the United States the chances are still not so very remote that this beautiful group will one day become a portion of the “Mikado’s Enipire.” —>+-—____ Uncle Sam Must Control, From the Kansas City Star. It has been the sentiment of the Ameri- can public for a considerable time that no nation other than the United States should obtain control or possession of Hawaii. While there has been a decided difference of opinion as to the wisdom and expediency of annexing the islands, the people have been practically unanimous in the position that this country should insist upon a dom- inating influence in Hawali and resent the interference in its affairs of European or Asiatic nations. ——_ > +e ______ Uncle Sam Should Have Guardianship. From the Cincinnati Enquirer. ‘That the government of the United States stould maintain such a guardianship over the republic of Hawaii as would prevent the islands from falling into the hands of Ergland, Japan or any other foreign coun- try, will scarcely be disputed by any pa- triotic American citizen. Perhaps annexa- tion is the best way to protect the republi- can spirit in Hawail. Se SE Despite the Sugar Trust. From the Chicago Tribune. It is to be hoped the Senate, notwith- standing the sugar trust’s commands to the sugar senators to defeat the treaty, will promptly approve it and thus save these rich islands from being gobbled up by England on the one hand or Japan on the other, thus involving this government in future trouble with one or the other. —>02—___ ‘To Every Clearheaded American. From the Minneapolis Times. On business grounds alone the proposea annexation commends itself to every clear- eaded American. It would place the United States in permanent possession of a region which is capable of almost unlimited trade development and with which the whole. future of American commerce in the Pacific is vitally associated. —__— +++ ____ “Hawall for the Japanese.” From the Boston Globe. “‘Hawail for the Japanese” may have been a very good rallying cry in Yeddo In 1871, but times change, and governments as well as policies change with them. Just now “Hawaii for Americans” seems to be the favorite call, even though the mikado's advisers may not altogether like it. —_———_s+e—___—_- Hawaii a Pivotal Point. From the Troy Times. Hawaii is nearer in sympathy and desire to the United States than to any other na- tion. The immense possibilities of ocean traffic for the Pacific coast make Hawali almost a pivotal point. Its value in the event of a war is past the necessity for argument. ——~++2____. A Hearty Welcome. From the Chicago Times-Herald. The People of this country will give a. hearty welcome to the territory of Hawaii, goon, we hope, to be a state of the union. It brimgs new wealth and power to us, and we in return extend to it the blessings of free and stable government. —<\+_o22e—_—__. ‘Will Meet the Favor of the Country. ‘From the St: Louts Globe-Democrat.
