14 WE NEED HAWAII| —»—_—_- (Continued from Eleventh Page.) and various recent events that need not be specified, prove the contrary. No one can justly blame them for this desire. ‘They need Hawaii as we need it—because its possession dominates and commands the entire North Pacific, where today, as prophesied by Secretary Seward, the com- mercial and other conditions are more rapidly changing than anywhere else on the globe. “Hawaii is the stepping stone, the gate- way of Asia and the pivotal point of the whole Pacific; the one, the only, point 01 supply for thousands of miles !n any di- rection. A glance at the map will show its prodigious importance to any nation which possesses it. It is nearer to us than any nation, and, as a matter of fact, though not generally remembered by even our well-informed people, it is east of our western boundary of Alaska; and the Aleu- tian Islands, our possessions, are about a thousand miles still further west of Hawaii. Non-contiguity, the stock argu- ment of so many people (used likewise against our acquisition of Alaska), is of little value or force when these facts are considered. Another glance at the map will reveal the vital, overwhelming importance of Hawaii in connection with the Nicara- gua canal, which sooner or later must be constructed, and I firmly believe is deferred merely because of our excessive caution, prudence and conservatism. We were, as we all remember, equally conservative atout the building of our rafiroad to the Pacific coast. The war broke out, and an empire, from the British possessions to Texas and from the Pacific ocean to the Rocky mountains, was put in jeopardy by the previous failure to build that road. As @ consequence California and Oregon, while in one sense overwhelmingly loyal, were largely disloyal because the Pacific railroad had not been built and the troops recruited in San Francisco for service east were re- tained on the coast by the War Depart- ment because of the feeling. and the possi- ble action, of those who advocated a ‘a cifie republic.” The road was finally built and the people were satisfied. It was deemed, and in very fact the building of the road was, essentially and thoroughly a War measure. Its construction and loyal citizens kept the Pacific coast in the Union, and California poured its gold into the treasury and the blessed sanitary com- mission. Duty of This Nation. “In the lives of nations, as of individuals, there are times when a course of conduct is thrust or forced on them; a condition pre- vailing which, frrespective of all argu- ments, leaves open but one wise course. This I believe is the case in regard to an- nexing the Hawafian Islands now. It is conceded that under no circumstances can We, or should we, permi any other nation to acquire Hawaii; and we know that for over seventy years this nation by its highest officials and the explicit resolutions of Con- gress has practically sald, ‘Hands off Ha- waii’ to all other nations. It must be ad- mitted that there has existed an overruling cause for this course on our part. That cause was, and is, self-preservation, self- defense, self-protection, defense and pro- tection of that which is ours and for which we are ever ready to fight if need be. Here- In lies the vast importance to us of Ha- waii. A Coaling Station. “A child now knows that the value or usefulness of a modern man-of-war is lim- ited to her coal capacity. Without coal she is merely so much iron and steel, harmless as the proverbial lamb. The nation that holds Hawali possesses the one point where coal and other supplies can be obtained in the north Pacific. A war ship from the A ic coast is about out of coal when she reaches the Pactfic coast. Some one may Yemark that a British battle ship, in case of War between England and the United States, can recoal at Esquimault. I say no, because we will then have take Esqui- mault by land, and I never thought the armaments of Esquimault were, or are, in- tended for us. They are intended for the great and important changes and events now. as for years past, taking place in the Pacific. In fact, within the last few days the world has come to realize that the dis- memberment of China has begun: and Japan, having emerged from her position as @ hermit nation, has become a strong insular warlike power, with military prestige and existing conditions of overpopulation, etc., which cause her to have aspirations, natu- ral aspirations, which she feels quite capa- ble of indulging and seems more than ready to maintain. Whatver may be her intention or wishes touching Hawaii, it still mains for us to know, as we do, that her ‘session of Hawali-would be of the grav- est import to us. The Hawaiian Race. “The Hawaiian race has been and is rap- icly dying out, and, in fact, is today in the minority in Hawaii. Aside from the nat- ural desire of some Hawaiiars, who see ‘place and profit’ in the restoration of the monarchy, the natives care nothing about so-called self-government. They never been self-governed since they were ght out of savagery and barbarism by Americans. Their kings were alway! . 1 controlled by Americans who Were the advisers and officers of the gov- ernment. This continued down to a few years ago, when the ex-queen, by her de- termination to do those things which threatened the safety of life and property, and indicated a relapse into the habits and superstitions of the ancient barbarism of Hlawail, forced the law-abiding Americans into revolution as a mere matter of self- protection and defense. That they did not resort to revoluticn as ‘pocket patriots’ for self-aggrandizement or profit, still less for power, is demonstrated by their repeated ¢ffers of their power and thelr country to America; that they did not assume power for profit is proven by their honest, wise and nomical administration of all the effairs of the republic, with revenues ceeding expendi ard n his- wrrupiion or impr of any t they, one and all, are anxious down their } ns of office.

Id place the enemy, thereby, two miles from our coast. We would aii for our fleets for refuge, refit- and supplies, and the possession of er considerations, whether of commerce or military and naval need. © “We have acquired, in one way and arcther, a great deal of territory. Some we conquered, some we annexed, and some we bought. Lives there one Ameri who regrets any of these acquisitions, or would not spill his blood in defense of each and every fraction of an inch of it all? Can any one deny the great need and value of it all, and that to these acquisitions we owe our present greatness, vastness and colossal pewer? And yet there lived men who op- posed these various additions to our coun- try. “When Secretary Seward bought Alaska for us, newspaper statesmen ridiculed him; asserted that he’was in his dotage and raised the bugaboo of non-contiguity. Would any American surrender or sell Alaska today? Has it not prevented the spread of any other nation on this conti. nent? Has it not repaid us more than twenty times over? Are we not rich In its fish, lumber, furs and gold? And has it not opened up a most important and profitable commerce? Has not its posses- sion limited, ‘cribbed, cabined and con- fined’ our great rival, Great Britain, on this continent, and demonstrated the wis- dom and statesmanship of Seward, who will be remembered for this purchase for ages to come with gratitude and profound respect. He has them now; as time rolls on and Alaska unfolds her resources, that respect and admiration will increase, and yet this purchase of Alaska was but his preliminary step (so he has told us), for the acquisition of Hawaii when the fruit- fulness of time shall ripen the proposition and evidence our need, imperative need, of its possession. That need our far-seeing statesman-President sees. And so, unde- terred by schemers, gigantic trusts or in- terests of any kind other than those of his country; from his high place, obedient to his oath of office, with his keen sense of honor, his pure patriotism and pro- found statesmanship, he tells the Amer- ican Congress and the American people why we should have Hawaii and that our honor demands it. “Anticipating just this, my son and other young men have, as you know, become a part of the advance guard of Americans to populate Hawaii, to help build it up and fill it with Americans, to develon its immense neglected and dormant resources; ard, as I firmly believe that coffee will in the near future, far exceed in value the output of sugar, I am equally sure that Hawiail. will soon have hundreds of thou- sands of American population. Form of Government. “The question of the form of government to be given Hawaii after annexation has interested some. If its population contin- ues as it is now I would suggest attach- ing it to California as a county, if the laws of California will permit that course. I have no doubt whatever that the veovle of California would gladly welcome Ha- wail, with its wealth and great resources. But, as there fis no doubt at all that Ha- waii will be promptly settled and filled with Americans, it would seem just and wise to give it such form of territorial government as Congress may, in its wis- dom, deem appropriate and best. mterested parties have sought in the newspapers to create an impression that the acquisition of Hawaii will bring upon us a horde of cheap labor. The fallacy of this argument is exposed when it is an- Swered that, except the few Chinamen now in Hawaii, any and every laborer there, Japanese and Portuguese, can come to this country now. No law, nothing, re- strains or hinders their coming now if they want to come. So far as the Chinese are concerned, they are debarred at ail points, and their labor contracts with Ha- waiian planters expressly provide and stip- ulate for their return to China. “Labor will not come from Hawaii; it will be just the opposite, labor will go there from here. You who have visited Hawaii need not be told of its beauty, fertility and surpassingly superb climate. Labor will seek it as the tourist does, because of its wealth of attractiveness, great resources and equable climate. Hawaii produces, and will produce, things which we need and want, and do not produce ourselves. On the other hand, Hawaii wants, and will want much more in time, almost everything thst we produce and manufacture. In nothing does or will Hawaii compete with our prodtteson or labor. All the cane sugar produced there is, and always will be, need- ed by us, no matter how much beet’ sugar is grown in this country. “This is our golden oppertunity to annex these islands: to extend to our own people there the protection for life and property which goes with our flag, which tney 80 earnestly want and ask for; to prevent Ha- waii's being constrained to go to some other nation for annexation and thereby becom- ing a menace to us hereafter; td forever maintain and sustain there the Christianity planted and taught by our own people, who are now still, as they have been for years, suppliants, begging to be taken by us; to become a part of us, and offering us, with- out price or any consideration whatever, this priceless jewel, gateway, stepping stone and future Gibraltar of the vast Pa- cific.” —_—_——__-e-____—_— ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE, Divorced Couple Meet and Remarry After a Long Separation. A dispatch from Derby, Conn., to the New York Herald says: At the pastoral residence of the South Cliff Street Congregational Church here Frederick Philbrick of Maine and Mrs. Laura E. Philbrick of New Haven were reunited in marriage last night by the Rev. Dr. W. F. Marwick. The couple were divorced twenty-five years ago through a mistake, so it is said. Both were quite young at the time, and the estrangement was due to the inter- ference of friends. The husband went to Maine and became quite wealthy in the machine business. The wife settled in New Haven, where she has since resided. Neith- er married again. The day before Christmas Mr. Philbrick, while en route to New York city, was sit- ting in a train which had just pulled into the New Haven depot. He chanced to see a woman pass by the car window out of which he was gazing, and at once recog- nized her as his former wife. Suddenly the flames of love were re- kindled. He saw the woman board a Der- by train, and quickly followed her. When he entered the car in which his former wife was seated he immediately proceeded to occupy @ part of her seat, and was at once recognized. - ‘The couple fell into each other's arms. They seemed to be oblivious of their sur- reundings and amazed their fellow pas- sengers. They had not seen each other for a quarter of a century, and their joy knew no bounds. Mrs. Philbrick was coming here to spend Christmas with the family of Leonard Clark, and it was agreed that Mr. Phil- brick should accompany her. Before the town clerk's office’ had closed that night Mr. Philbrick had applied for and had re- ceived a marriage certificate, though the ond wedding was deferred until last ing, when the reunited couple were driven to the residence of Dr. Markwick. ‘They were accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Clark, who acted as witnesses to the mar- riage. Today Mr. and Mrs. Philbrick left for New York on their second wedding trip. Mr. Philbrick is about fifty years old. His wife is a few years younger. Both are very gray. —_-e+—____ Chinese Emperor’s Statesmanship. The State Department has received a copy of the recent curious decree issued by the Emperor of China to fend off the wrath of Providence, as indicated in the eclipse predicted for New Year day. The document is pronounced by experts to be a masterful exhibition of typical Chinese statesmanship, in view of the existing criti- cal condition of affairs in the celestial empire.

Honor Demands Annexation. “In addition, there is a weighty consider- ation in this matter that cannot be over- jooked nor disregarded. Its stupendous weight is in its literal and exact truth.

In “Fedora’’ Miss Daven- port essays a character more vigorous in tone, if not more profound in passion, than she does in “La Tosca,” the play of Monday. Subtlety is not so much the part of the Russian as it is of the Roman, and we have Miss Davenport in a character which, in her effort to present at its full value, is sometimes marred by over effect. It is excusable, of course, for it is a great character, and great characters are not amenable to the laws of the calm and lewly. Mr. McDowell as Loris Ipanoff is robust and virile, and he compares not unfavora- bly with the first and greatest of those who have taken the part in this country, Mr. Mantell. Mr. McDowell is a handsome man, and Fedora’s lover was that. The support in general was excellent, and the play was enjoyed by a fine audience. Last night Miss Davenport repeated her splendid interpretation of ‘‘La Tosca,” and tonight she will be seen in her great part of Cleopatra. As “Cleopatra” is a long play the inanagement requests that the audience will be in their seats at 8 o'clock sharp. “DAMON AND PYTHIAS."—The Dra- matic Association of Gonzaga College pre- sented “Damon and Pythias” to an au- | ever seen in farce comedy also takes place | ments, at one and two years, with intercst at 6 dience that crowded Gonzaga Hall to the] in the last act. r cent per saaues — semi-annually from doors last night, the event being the regu- y of sale, secui ay of trust upon the lar Christmas entertainment of the school.

Both showed force and intelligence in the portrayal of their respective roles, and deserved the hearty applause that they received. John J. Turner as Dionysius, W. Todd Fox as Crythes and Henry A.

Lyndsay, who has been very successful with her enterprise in other cities, namely, Baltimore, Wilming- ton, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and St. Louis. Miss Lyndsay says that the success of the course in the cities named has induced her to try Washington. Ten entertainments in all will be given, and a ticket of admission for the entire course costs but $1. Miss Lyndsay explains that her saving of great expenditure in proportion to the cost of admission lies in the fact that the same entertainment is given in each city em- braced by the enterprise. Friday evening of this week the Brown University Glee Club will give the second entertainment of this course, to be followed on January 8 by Gen. John B. Gordon instead of Alex- ander Black J@nuary 5, as previously an- nounced. The Mozart Symphony Club, January 12, will be followed by five other similar attractiens.

Crane, the comedian, comes to the National The- ater next Monday, when his engagement will serve a three-fcld purpose—it will make known “A Virginia Courtship,” a comedy that is credited with having had an overflowing measure of success in all of the cities in which it has been seen; it will introduce as an author one of the best-known stage directors in the country, and it will afford the public an opportunity of renewing the acquaintance of a come- dian who has worked hard and done much in giving good and legitimate entertain- ments in the past. ‘A Virginia Courtship,” it is said, will prove satisfying to the comedian’s friends, for the reason that it will show him in a part that fits him like a glove. It gives him opportunity for that breezy bluster in which he is always so effective, and enables him to show the touch of the genuine comedian in the littl bits of sentiment with which the character is studded. The play is what is known as a costume comedy, the dresses worn being those of the Georgian period. ‘The period in which the action is set is 1815, a time when many of the aristocrats of the old do- minion affected the dress, manners and customs of the European courts. In the play Mr. Crane is seen as Major Falrfax, and his supporting company, claimed to be the best he has ever headed, includes Miss Annie Irish, Miss Percy Haswell, Walter Hale, Boyd Putnam, William Boag and Percy Brooke.

TRUSTEES’ SALE OF A NEAT AND ATTRACT- the startling title is Richard Dudgeon, @ young dare-devil rebel. Returning home to inherit his fortune, he meets with his mother’s curse, because, though a scape- grace son, he has not been cut off with a penny. A Presbyterian minister invites him to his house to warn him that he is in danger of being hanged as a spy. During the visit he is called out, leaving Dick with the minister's young wife. Enters some British soldiers, not after Dick, it seems, but the reverend gentleman. Not knowing the difference, for he has hung his coat by the fire to dry, they seize Dick, and he is just reckless enough to put on the minis- ter’s coat and go off to the gallows with a show of heroism. When the minister learns of the mistake he is coward enough to leave town without rectifying it. His wife falls in love with Dick for his sacri- fice, follows him to prison, and exposes her husband’s deception at the trial, but can- not save Dick from a death sentence. He is rescued eventually, however, at the very gallows by no less a person than the min- ister, who, having enlisted, arrives on the spot with a goodly number of American troops. “The Devil's Disciple” is announced for production Monday, Tuesday and Wed- nesday evenings and at the Saturday mati- neg; “A Parisian Romance,” Thursday evening; “Beau Brummell,” Friday evening and “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” Saturday evening. The sale opens at the box office tomorrow morning. MR. B. S. WILLARD.—Mr. Willard will this season bring two plays in which he has not been seen in in our city, and both of which he has played in Boston and Phil- adelphia to large and delighted audiences, and has received the indorsement of the critics of those cities. His first appearance as David Garrick here will be awaited with the greatest interest. The part is said to be entirely suited to him, and the pro- duction, as regards cast, scenic surround- ings and costuming, is a most notable one. He will also appear as Tom Pinch, a dram atization of incidents from the book of “Martin Chuzzlewit,” and Mr. Willard in this gentle, lovable creation of Charles Dickens has evidently made one of the most artistic successes of his career. With the revival for one performance each of “The Rogue’s Comedy” and “The Middle- man,” the coming visit of this popular ac- tor promises to be one of the most inter- esting events of the theatrical season. ———e CHANDLER DENOUNCES GAGE. Declares His Trust in the Fidelity of McKinley, mk QhRIEND (FROM INDIA."—The | A dispatch from Concord, N. H., says: | AVE MHBEESTOIY BUC: DWELLING WITH Smyth and Rice Comedy Company, pre- Leading republicans here laugh at the sug- PREMISES 815 FOURTH STREET NORTH- senting that reigning success, “My Friend oe t gestions that have been made in different quarters that Serator William E. Chandler will leave the republican party if the ad- ministration declares against bimetallism. Here, in Mr. Chandler’s home, there is no ore that believes he is not as good a re- publican as ever. When the subject was mentioned to the senator he appeared much annoyed and refused to discuss it. He was willing, however, to discuss the attitude of Mr. Gage. “Mr. Gage was a democrat in 1892,” he said, “and voted for Mr. Cleveland. He has never been known as a republican unless his vote for McKinley in 1896 declared him to be a republican. The President appoint- ed him Secretary of the Treasury knowing he had been a democrat, and that he was in favor of the:single goid standard. The President, however, considered himself as the head of the administration, and that it would be judged by his utterances and not by those of the Secretary of the Treasury. “Our hepe almost wholly depends upon the fidelity, wisdom and courage of the President. We do not give him up to Secre- tary Gage and the gold monometallists and the currency réform cranks, who are now vainly trying to control Congress. All the McKinley bimefallist senators feel that Mr. Gage’s action has placed the President un- der suspicion as to the sincerity of his declaration for bimetallism. However, wo continue to rely upon the President's own oft-repeated acts and declarations in favor From India,” which is announced for the Columbia Theater next week, have enjoyed @ most prosperous career since the original production of the comed: This. bright farce is unquestionably far superior to any that has been given to the stage in years. It possesses a plot that can justly be term- ed excruciating. It is written around a subject that fs new to the stage, and which offers the greatest latitude. Then, again, the company is such an admirable one. In fact, {t would have been a difficult task to have secured a more versatile cast. Origi- nality is at a premium in these days of constant imitation, and that, perhaps, largely accounts for the great success of the piece everywhere. Comedies of this sort require a house where the actors can be in touch with the audiences, and these conditions are most favorably met with at the Columbia Theater. There is not a point in the piece that does not cause incessant laughter, and the laughter begins when the curtain rises, and continues without cessation until it drops on the last act. The comedy possesses humor that is clean and wholesome, and the novelties throughout are interesting in the extreme. The origi- nal Smyth and Rice Comedy Company, who figured so prominently during the long run of the piece in New York,will positively ap- pear in the production at the Columbia bext week, including Frederic Bond, Helen Reimer, John F. Ward, Frank G. Parry, John B. Maher Nita Allen, Clare Hatha- wey, May Vokes and others. “SUNSHINE OF PARADISE ALLEY.”— Do you want to laugh?
