The money is in hand for the work and cannot now be used for any other purpose, so that tne desired enactment will not af- fect the government's resources in the least. There now remains unexpended from the former appropriations the sum of $203,882.70 available for this purpose, while the amendment appropriates an equal sum from the surplus revenues of the Dis- trict. No argument can be made against the item because it involves a heavy cost. Until this work is finished or until the sums already set aside for this purpose, now lying idle, have been converted to other uses, the money will remain in hand, awaiting the releasing word of Congress. That word should be given at this ses- sion. If the bill should m passage contain these two items, so closely related to tae health of the nation’s city, Cong will remedy a grievous wrong, Will provide securely against the future in @ manner deserving of unstinted praise. ——- 202 Balm in Gilea Champ Clark. to the available The Hon.

It Will probably be a long time before state- hood will be given to any annexed terri- tory, or any representatives therefrom pre- sent themselves to the American Congress for admissior. We have possessed Alaska for thirty-one year, but there are yet no Alaska Indians in Congress to distress Mr. Champ Clark's Yefined senstbilities. And even if Hawalt should be represented in Congress during Mr. Champ Clark's illustrious career it is that these representatives might unworthy clates. To impar- bservers it would seem that the Doles, the Thurstons, the Hatches, the Judds, the Castles, the Carters, the Damons, the Alex- anders, the McGrews, the Dillinghams, the red repres: possible Cookes, the Bishops and others of the worthy and intelligent citizenship of Ha- wait would compare very favorably with Mr. Champ ¢ manship, ark in brains, energy, states- dignity, sobriety, decorum, and all the qualifications for eligible legislators. Let Mr. Champ Clark give ecnsideration to these thoughts he will find a seothing balm for his heated, overworked brain. ————_ + +e The effort of the hestility to Hi: ian fight that project to the Sugar Trust to mask its and annexation feath unde to of assumed indifference will not a pte! nted elsewnere in The S day thoroughiy exposes the trust annexation interest. Annexation is un- douht entitled to the additional popular indorsement which arises from knowledge of the fact that in the case of the Sugar Trust against the people Hawaii fights for the latter. +e If there are any senators who think that the most urgent need of the country is that they shall quickly adjourn their votes may perhaps be counted upon for Hawatlian an- Bexation; for with the President and a ma- Jority in both hous2s determined “to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer” the way to speedy adjournment 1s evidently through immediate annexation. — see No Politics in Annexation. ‘The democratic leaders in Congress can- not succeed in taking the Hawaiian ques- tion out Of its context and giving it a read- ing which will insure them party advan- tage In this year’s campaigns. The logic of affairs Is against them; and, moreover, they cannot poll their party's strength in favor of their maneuver. Some of the ablest Gemocrats in both houses are in favor of Snnexation, and will so record themselves Tegardiess of attempted party dictation. These men are democrats in all that relates to party divisions on domestic issues, but Americans simply in all that relates to a @uccessful prosecution of the war with Spain. They accept the military and naval Judgment as to the importance of immedi- ate American acquisition of the Hawalian Islands, and will give the Newlands resolu- tion their support on that account. These men consider—and they are entirely right in their judgment—that they are sup- Porting a war measure. They were among those who voted for the declaration of war, who thought the declaration thoroughly Justifiable, and they now earnestly wish for the country’s success. They are not them- selves educated soldiers or sailors. They feel the necessity of being guided therefore in such matters as relate to the prosecu- tion of the war by the highest professional opinion. The opinion as to the value: of Hawaii ut this time comes to them from eminent sources. Mr. Hitt in his very able speech on Saturday quoted them. They could not be higher, nor could the opinion given be clearer, more specific, or more convincing. The Newlands resolution, sup- ported by this opinion and indorsed by the President, is, in effect, supplemental of the war revenue bill, and Is entitled like that to action by Congress at this session. Its passage will strengthen the American cause in the Pacific, and help complete the work which Admiral Dewey has so gloriously in- augurated at Manila. w not bar polities in this matter? Why should not Mr. Bailey in the House and Mr. Jones in the Senate return to the position they took when the war began and the first credit was voted, and put the government above all other considerations? And how very funny it is to see men, who have posted Mr. Cleveland far and near as an apostate and an incapable, sheltering in the shadow of the most odious and roundly denounced feature of his whole record as President! Break Up the Masquerade. There is current gossip to the effect that a few Senators quoted as favorable to an- nexation are yet prepared, and even dis- posed, to see the Hawatian question go over until next session. They will vote to take up the Newlands resolution, but will readily yield to a threat of obstruction and at an early day forward the minority’s play for adjournment. A little dress parade in favor of annexation, purely for home consump- tion, and real action against it, and they will be ready to go home. If this is true, these men ought to be smoked out very early in the action. They are far moré dangerous to the cause of an- nexation than those who are in open oppo- sition. The man in the open can be weighed, measured and observed. It will be possible to place him from time to time the fight progresses. But the man in bush will be a sort of spy. Being in the of annexation, he will be able to guide by their plans in de- termining how he may best serve the other side—in determining when it will be best to permit “that tired feeling” to come over him and give in to the threat of an all- summer session. He will be able all the better to adjust his mask, and, after a feeble pretense of support, to turn to the rea! friends of annexation, and exclaim, in a hoarse whisper of exhaustion, “It's no use, gentlemen. These fellows have got us, and we might as well put up the shutters and quit.” The men who honestly desire annexation desire it now. They see the importance of a vote at this session. They are prepared to stay here and obtain that vote. They will be well and aggressively led. The votes are at hand to pass the Newlands resolution. They should go on the record. On the other hand, the men who are talk- ing for annexation and yet are proposing that the question go over are your “to- morrow” Americans—about on a par with your “to-morrow” Spaniards. They ought to be smoked out and forced into the camp where they belong. Mr. Frye is not their leader. Mr. White is. In counting Mr. White's contingent let all who belong there be included. the confidence of the friends 2 = ____ Secretary Alger’s Statement. Secretary Alger’s statement to the public of the amount of work accomplished by his department and the army bureaus since the outbreak of the war refutes the charge that the preparations of the campaign have been siothfully executed. The results them- selves, as far as revealed, indeed, spoke eloquently against this unthinking indict- ment. The public has apparently had lit- tle knowledge of the vast amount of ter- ritory to be covered, of the general state of unpreparedness that confronted the mili- tary authorities, of the lack of immediately available resources and of the need of care in the adjustment of the multitude of de- tails In connection with the organization of a great army. The war secretary sets forth the work that has been done, which reveals the proportions of the task in their true light. Yet the statement shows only the results and does not explain the details of the labor required to produce them. It appears clearly that in every department the army bes been industrious and has availed itself of every known expedient for hurrying tle work. Certain laws unaffect- ed by the emergency statutes concerning the war have handicapped the efforts of the authorities in some particulars, and in view of all the circumstances it is not too much to declare that the achievements of the past few weeks have been worthy of the highest praise. —- +.0ee ———_ ‘The verdict of acquittal in th: case of Mr. Canty was doubtless in accord with the evidence. There is, however, in the occur- reice a strong reminder that two men can- not get togethzr and settle their private differences with weapors in the public streets without running a great variety of risks. —__+++ __ — It is now asserted that Hobson was the kind of boy who stood at the head of his class in everything and “told on” his schoolmates. It should be remembered that in the eager quest for personal details, a man in his position is hkely to encounter a great deal of gossipy misrepresentation. ——_ +0 eo General Blanzo's dispatch to his govern- ment that in case the blockade becomes stricter it will be necessary to send war stores should lzad to some inquiry as to the leniency implied concerning the blockade’s The malicious pleasure of prolonging the war and piling up the cost for this country seems to render Spain wholly oblivious to the fact that its day of reckoning must come. + ——s+o The soldiers in Tampa would scarc>ly have a great deal of respect for any com- plaints of warm weather from other parts of the country. ——— +e —____ Cfrranza regrets that it will be so much easier for him to g2t out of Canada than for Cervera to get out of Santiago harbor. _—_se+o——_— As it is not at all his fault, Admiral Dewey cannot be complained of for a tend- ercy to monopolize the war.

Let us have done with the baby act and the dog-in-the-manger business. For five years the opponents of this great national (annexation) policy have been offering ev- ery possible argument against it and rally- ing all their forces to defeat it: Now let them stand up and be counted. From tho Boston Journal. The Hawaiian issue in Co: seems to sift down to just this—the national ad- ministration on the one side, and a greedy sugar “combine” and jealous foreign in- terests in Hawati on the other. +--+ —___ Representing the American People.

SHOOTING STARS. us A Prompt Objection. “I suppose,” said Senator Sorghum’s friend, “that your enmity to the annexa- tion of Hawaii is due to the fact that there are Kanakas and Chinese on the islands.” “You haven't mentioned that theory to anybody?” was the anxious inquiry. “Well, please don't. Everybody knows that I have my clothes washed by a Chinaman and that I have paid money to see Kana- kas in a show. I'd be ashamed to look my friends in the face with any such reasons as them.” Sympathy. We read of seas when icebergs tall Against the cold grim sky are traced. And then we sigh and think of all The weather here that goes to waste.

From the New York Sun. If there are senators of the United States not yet provided with summer headwear and thin and comfortable apparel suitable to the latitude of Washington during the hot months, we advise them to purchase the outtit. The country is not going to tolerate any manifestation on the part of any gentle- man of the Senate of a preference for his own personal and individual comfort this summer over the safety of the Americans at Manila. To the safety of Dewey*and his heroes and to the safety of the American flag in the far east, the annexation of Hawali is an indispensable prerequisite. If after the Newlands resolution has passed the House the obstructionists at the othe! rend of the Capitol attempt to defeat annexation by adjourning Congress, let every patriotic senator prepare for an all-summer session, if that be necessary, in order to put up the Stars and Stripes at Honolulu. Washington is a hot town in July and August; but, as we have already remarked, Manila is hotter. The hottest place of all, however, will be in the immediate neigh- borhood of any statesman who runs away from the thermometer and duty to seek personal comfort while our brave soldiers and tars are fighting for their lives and for the flag under the burnished sun of the tropies. —__++e—___ A Warning to Congressmen. From the Boston Journal. One excise given by those members of Congress who are anxious to adjourn after the revenue bill is passed, without action on Hawali, is that they want to “get home to their districts," and begin to work for their re-election. The Journal would frankly say to any New England representatives who may be of this way of thinking, if there ar2 such, that the best place for them to work for their re-election just now is right in Wash- ington. When the New England congressmen come home the first question which they will have to answer will be “What have you done to uphold Admiral Dewey and keep us in touch with our army in the Philippines?” Far more deeply than any other incident of the war has Dewey's tri- umph touched the popular heart and the popular imagination, and if through con- gressional bungling the United States loses the prestige which his valor has gained, it will go hard, very hard—we warn congress- men of that—with the political party or the public men that can be held responsible for it. Support the President! ernment! —————~.22—__ The Sugar Trust Their Client. From the Cincinnati Times-Star. The sugar trust was unable to_accom- Plish its selfish purposes in the House of Representatives Friday in spite of the zealous efforts of some of the members whose action justifies the suspicion that the sugar trust fs their client. In spite of the Herculean efforts of the enemies of the annexation of Hawaii it was deter- mined b; vote that was sufficient to take the matter up for discussion, which may continue until next Wednesday afternoon. This is looked upon as a signal victory for the annexationists. It shows the determi- nation on the part of a majority of the members of the House to hold up the good right hand of the President in his prosecu- tion of the Spanish war in the Pacific. ———»r22—__ Advantages oft Aanexation Already Accepted. From the Honolulu Commeretal Advertiser (May 27). ‘There are very favorable indications for the passage of the joint redolution tn favor of the annexation of these islands in the House of Representatives. What action the Senate will take when it reaches that body is, of course, uncertain, owing to the de- lays which will obstruct its passage. If the American executive directs the transports to call here next week it puts Congress in the attitude of accepting all of the advantages of annexation without legally recognizing them. We have been and now are perfectly willing to abandon neutrality in favor of the United States, but after the advantages which accrue to the United States from our course !t would seem as if annexation should be made by them in their own interest.
