It seems to believe that it is hidden from the public view by the shelter of these few legislators, who thus foolishly permit them- selves tobe used as stalking horses. No amount of masquerading will suffice to foo! the American people into believing that the defeat of the annexation project is either wise or safe. The popular demand for the on of these islands was never so strong as today, when the course of events has demonstrated beyond cavil the absolute of such an outpost as Hawaii. powerful arguments.

The Votes are at hand to annex Hawaii. The opportunity is just now controlled in the House by the Speaker and by a small coterie in the Senate. These few elements cannot forever dam up the tide of public insistence. Sooner or jater it will break forth and sweep away everything that now opposes. ———_ + ¢ = —___ ‘the Work of a Resvurceful Nation.

The men are being sent away in such num- bers as are safe, with thorough equipment and with every detall for their comfort in | they are constitutionally violent, and can orly be controlled by a strong power fear- lessly exercised. A government which con- sults the good of a people, and is honestly so administered, recommends itself. Peo- ple do not rebel against that which serves their interests ard insures them comfort and prosperity. The people of the United States not only spring from a colonizing stock, but, in a way, they have done some highly success- ful colonizing on thelr own account. They have enlarged their boundaries more than once, and have absorbed into their political system people of many nationalities. Every- thing has gone on smoothly enough, be- cause the original purposes of the govern- ment were preserved. If the flag were raised permanentiy over Porto Rico there sno good teason why that island should not reflect quickly the same benefits that appear here on tne mainland. ‘There are reasonable objections to the permanent occupation and military govern- ment by the republic of the far-removed Philippines, the conversion of whose mil- lions of Asiatic population inte voting Americans would be a most formidable task, and at the proper time these objec- ticns will receive very serious considera- tion from the American people. But lack of the colonizing spirit and capacity in Americans is not among these objections. —_- - + ee Europe and America. If no other reason existed why we are not likely to encounter continental Europe in this quarrel with Spain, Spain’s tireless efforts to drag Europe in would give us 4 fecling of security. She is altogether too eager to spread trouble. She advertises her weaknesses too freely and conspicuoua- ly. She makes it too apparent that she has gone into the war with full knowledge of her inability to cope with the United States, and only in the hope that some stronger power wiil come to the rescue and do for her what she is unable to do for herself; There is no knight-errantry in Europe to- day. Don Quixote is dead even in Spain. Europe is engaged with very practical and even prosaic problems. How best to sell two boxes of merchandise where hitherto but one has been sold engages more atten- tion than all matters of mere sentiment combined. Hence the attention being paid to the far east, where China alone, with four hundred million possible customers, is rap- diy yielding to the spell of the persuasive drummer, with samples in one hand and a sword in the other. But if knight-errantry were in the merid- ian of its activity Spain could not hope for a really capable champion. Nobody of con- Sequence would ride to the relief of an old virago. Spain is not a winsome damsel in distress, but a termagant who has at last justly been brought to book for the offenses she has committed against her own house- hold. She is despised both by ner own and by her neighbors, and as Prince Bismarck has said in his blunt and direct way, “She deserves her fate.” Europe having been warned, then, both by Spain's confession of weakness and by the character of her cause, has good rea- scn to hold aloof and let matters take their natural course. We do not need, semi-offi- cial denials of stories that Admiral Dewey is m2naced by outsiders at Manila, or that France is thinking of taking a lease of the Philippines. Yarns like those deny them- selves. The safest gamble of the day is that Europe will not step into Spain's shoes now that the American purpose is so clear- ly defined and has been so vigorously enter- ed upon. —————_++2___ Balloons in Naval Warfare. The value of war balloons receives strong demonstration in the present situation with regard to the location of the Spanish fleet. ‘The question of whether or not that fleet is really in Santiago harbor might readily be solved by the use of a balloon such as those that have been perfected for this very purpose of scouting from heights. The modern war balloon is easily managed, when compared with its old-fashioned pro- totype, which was the victim of the ele- ments and as frequently as not went too far astray to be of actual use to its pos- sessors. Steering derices have been invent- ed and rendered of actual service in opera- tion. The management of valves and bal- last has been studied until the store of ex- pert knowledge has been greatly increased. | Methods of retaining control of the balloon from the ground without interfering with its free flight to a considerable height are now at hand. The sole question in this particular case is whether a balloon could readily be inflated from the deck of a ship and sent thence into the upper regions. If this could be done it might not be difficult for agents of the blockading force to secure a clear view of the whole stretch of Santi- ago harbor, thus disclosing the presence or absence of the Spanish vessels that are just now so much sought after by the American navy. It is not likely, however, that this expedient will be adopted in th> present instance. Indeed, it is more prob- able that the naval authorities are by this time well satisfied concerning the where- camp and efficie in battle provided for. Less than this has been done by European nations in various campaigns remote from home with much more labor and self-ap- plause. Here the Philippine expedition has been outfitted as a mere incident to the general work of closing in on Spain in Cuban waters. A less resourceful nation, if embar sed by a similar unprepared- ness for war. might easliy have been crip- pled by such a distraction. The United States, however, proves that it is not only a big country, but that it has its powers under good control and is capable of quick, effective work in many directions at once. a = The officer in command of the Spanish fleet in this vicinity is named Pascual Cer- vera y Topete. There is a disposition among the American naval authorities to change this complex designation to some- thing akin to “Dennis,” which is shorter and more expressive. ——++o—____ Richard Croker’s declaration that Dr. Parkhurst is a fraud will revive interest in the old maxim a put people who occupy Blass houses. ——-—»- 2 __ Speaker Reed is running a great risk of compelling © to indorse the senti- ments of J. iiton Lewis and Jerry Simpson. ree and the Phi Porto Ric The suggestion of permanent occupancy of Porto Rico and the Philippines by the United si calls out warnings here and there on the score of the inhabitants of those colories They are described as revo- h by nature and habit. Look, out, how much trouble they have always given Spain, and read tn that history how much trouble they would be certain to give the United States, The question of permanent occupancy can- Zot be decided on that ground, for that re- duces the United States to a level with Spain. The worry chat Spain has had with her colonies she has herself provoked. She is the architect of all of her colonial mis- fortu She has given her colonies more trouble than they have ever given her, and she has always been the aggressor. In Cuba and in the Philippines her rule has been atrocious. Any people with a spark of spirit about them would have rebelled against it. It ts in fact a promising sign of a capacity in them for good government tkat under conditions so repugnant: to all fairness and justice they have proved to be turbulent and unmanageable. If the United States undertakes govern- ment for Porto Rico and the Philippines the scheme will be a great improvement on anything those colonies have ever enjoyed at Spain’s hands. It is idle to say that the people there will not respond; that abouts of Cervera’s vessels. But the situ- ation sufficiently suggests the possibilities of usefulness of the balloon in naval war- fare. The mode of construction of the ship-of-war of the present, with its lack of rigging and upper works, is such as to permit balloon inflation from the deck much more easily than could have been possible a few years ago. Unfair to Hawail. For the United States to neglect to act decisively on the Hawafian annexation proposition without further delay would be in the highest degree unfriendly to the Hawalian government, placing it in an awkward, embarrassing and perhaps dan- gerous position with respect to some of the other powers. This country cannot afford to permit such a blot to fall upon its rec- ord. It has led Hawaii into believing that annexation would be accomplished, by treaty or by resolution. It has developed a majority in its legislature for the plan. It has blazed the way clearly for union, and Hawali has been led to adopt an atti- tude of invitation and of friendliness in- consistent with neutrality. The ever-shift- ing panorama of the campaign may at any | moment produce an acute crisis pivoting upon the relations of Hawaii to the United States. The powers may find themselves unexpectedly with ground for protest against further acts of sympathy and ald for the United States on the part of Ha- wali Who will have the right to enter a counter protest? The situation Is fast be- | coming dangerously complex, and the only solution possible under the circumstances is annexation, speedily accomplished. ———_ += —____ John L.

WASHINGTON, May 26.—The discontent ! and dissatisfaction among republican rep- | resentatives on account of the delay, which they regard as unreasonable, of the consid- | eration of the Hawaiian annexation resolu- tion have become exceedingly active and | strong, and unless steps are taken early next week to bring the joint resolution be- fore the House the discontented ones will try to force a caucus to consider the mat- | ter. Indeed, General Grosvenor of Ohio, chairman’ of the republican caucus organ- ization, had @ call for a caucus in his pos- session today signed by a sufficient number of members, requesting that one be held this evening. After consultation with a number of the signers, however, he decided not to issue the call today, but expects to | do so on Tuesday unless in the meantime | assurances of prompt and speedy action on the joint resolution are given. Some weighty reasons for such action are now urged which have not heretofore fig- ured in the discussions. For example, a member of the cabinet last night called attention to the fact that the troopships ! now on the way from San Francisco to | Manila will land at Honolulu, and not only replenish their supplies of coal, but send the troops ashore to rest and recuperate for a day or more. He thought that Spain might have not only a ground for just complaint, but for a claim for damages against Hawai! on this account, despite the fact that the latter has not declared her neutrality. A similar suggestion was made by Chairman Hitt of the House committee on foreign affairs, in conversation with a friend today. He also added that, while the United States has not a pound of coal accessible at Pearl. Harbor or in Pango- Pango Harbor, it has some 9,000 tons at Honolulu or on its way there, which is absolutely vital to the success of naval and military operations in the Philippines. Chairman Hitt is earnestly in favor of speedy action by the House of Representa- tives on the annexation resolution. The same is true of more than nine-tenths of the republican members of the House and of a score or more of the democratic mem- bers. ——___+ + _____ Life or Death for the Democracy. From the New York Jounal (dem.). It 1s time for the will of the democratic masses to be impressed unmistakably upon their representatives at Washington. The democracy must support the annexation of Hawai. This 1s not a matter upon which the party can exercise cholce. It 1s an affair of life or death for the organization. Hawail 1s going to be annexed. Make no mistake about that. The only question is whether the democracy shall share the glory of the deed or whether it shall ap- pear in the odious and disastrous light uf an _ obstructionist. On such a point there is no room for discussion. As it hopes for a future as an American party the democracy must stand by the American people. Such opposition to Hawali as exists in the democratic party had its origin in the stolid, brutal toryism of Grover Cleveland, the most un-democratic President that ever entered the White House. The democrats of the United States repudiated Cleveland in 1896, and why should they stagger now under the incubus of his despised and de- spieable foreign policy? 5 the democracy grow up with the country. Let it follow the course of na- tional development, which implies expan- sion from time to time as an imperative necessity. Let it take warning by the fate of {ts first great opponent, the once mighty federal party, and avoid the deadly blun- der of putting itself in an anti-national at- titude. Even though the annexation of Hawaii should seem to be of temporary advan- tage to the republicans, the democrats can- not afford to oppose it. They cannot be- tray the country for the sake of depriving their opponents of a bit of political capital. The way to reduce the republican partisan advantage to a minimum is to make an- nexation a national matter, of which no party can claim a monopoly. We warn the democrats in Congress that if they try to deprive America of the superb gift that is now within her grasp they will cut themselves off from their constituents. They will become leaders without follow- ers. And they will not have even the poor satisfaction of accomplishing their evil purpose. They will merely have followed Cleveland, Reed and the sugar trust to a needless and ineffectual humiliation. For Hawaii is going to be annexed. ———++e____ Wellington Still True to the Sugar ‘Trust. Washington Correspondence New York World, Senator George L. Wellington said to the World correspondent tonight: “Leprosy and loot fs all I can see in the proposed annexation of the Hawalian Is- lands. What would we get with Hawaii?
