The Opposition Shifting Ground. Opposition to t nnexation of the Ha- Waiian Islands was first based on the prop- o-ition that the rightful authority in the islands had been overthrown by a con- spiracy in which the American mint and the commander of an American v vessel had participated. and that this gov- eriment should net benefit by such a wrong. That was Mr. Cleveland's conten- tien. He withdrew the first annexation treaty. and sought to restore the deposed queen to power. H's failure and covered him with confusi then no serious thou; seems taken by anybody of that policy. Attacks on the Dole government having the opponents of annexation then their ground and pronounced against hoisting the flag over territory so far dis- tent from the mainland. The islands were too far away. They could not with safety be made a part of the American system of government. This was very promptly met by a comparison of distances between New York and San Francisco, Boston and New Orleans, Washington city and Sitka, Alaska. The fact was developed that the United States already owns islands in her Alaskan possessions lying further to the west than was comple! mn, d sin have been Hawaii. An o@ear cable and a line of swift ships, which would vei follow an- nexation, would, it w . bring Hono- lulu very close to these shores. The note of objection now heard is Pitched in the key of criticism of the in habitants of the islands. It the Ha ns are not des zens; that we don’t want them here, so forch.

It does not suffice to cry down with the charge of narrow thanklessness the voice of reason that merely asserts that there is too much laxity in the granting of pensions and in framing of pension laws. The evils that form the basis of the complaints now sounding in the ears of the people are not a necessary part of the scheme of reward- ing the men who fought and suffered for their country. They arise from various | causes, and the demand is for their rerres- sion on lines that will in no wise injure the legitimate interests of the old soldiers or » who are logically dependent upon Senator ager's plea for more mservative treatment of private pension Ils wiil doul-t tnd echo in many quar- ters were the “old suldier feeling’ has in no w diminished. ar oe ee ow Long a Trin The P axe expresses the epinion that the Sagasta “reforms” for should hi that they are peace to the fore, they Cuba ir trial.

The Star’ respondent from Ha- vana shows that the outlook for success 1s gloomy in the extreme. So far, practi- cally nothing has been accomplished. Gen- eral Blanco seems sincere enough, but he is working against the most tremendous odds. He is in the attitude of the physi- cian whose patient refuses to take his med- icine.

It must be that they have been pleased with the success of the gilded dome across the way and wish to go in for a Kittle ornamentation themselves to make things In the neighborhood harmonious. A gilded statue on the cop of such a lofty structure as the Capitol dome would be distinguishable for many miles. At present the statue is treated in a most indifferent manner, being painted occasionally and quickly acquiring a rusty hue that does not correspond with the gereral tone of the dome. The work of painting the fig- that or whatever her ure is perilous and suggests tragic possibil- ities to those who from the security of the ground beneath view the cautious move- ments of the riggers and painters high above them. The coat of gold leaf once given there would be no need for further attention to Liberty for many years. —__ +--+ —____.

The latest novelty in the way of conten- tion among the scholars investigating the antiquity of the human race is that the Garden of Eden was in China—that Adam Was a Chinaman, and that Eve was almond- eyed. This is a proposition seriously put forth in reputable professional quarters. The claim is that the civilization of Egypt did not come primarily from Assyria, but that China sent it there, taking Assyria as a stopping place on the way. This, of cou does not go back to the original al- leged ape of Darwin; it only contends that, if there was an ape ancestor, he was a Chinese ape. The Chinese, it will be re- membered, have always made this claim of superior antiquity for their people. The peculiarity in the case is thet Christian scholars are accepting their views. ———_—2+—____. Stimulated Stamp Sules. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. The postmaster of a little town in Ohio adopted an ingenious plan to increase the sale of postage stamps and so increase his salary. He gave away a drink with every ten stamps and gave a stamp with every drink. Everybody in town soon developed an intense desire for stamps. The post- master had, however, forgotten the trifling preliminary of taking out a liquor license, and the government, which did not, of course, object to the sale of stamps being stimulated, arrested him for stimulating the people in an illegal-manner. A man with such an ingentous turn of mind is, however, not unlikely to remain long in ob- scurity. He will be heard from again, ISmoking Jackets.
