With Honolulu a safe resting point, supplies and reinforcements can go forward as may d. It will not be so long a time drinks as would have been be- tween San Francisco and Manila. Hawail takes no further risks in welcoming Amer- jean troops and warships en route. Considered with respect to our Pacific coast defenses and to the digging of the Nicaragua canal—it is in that aspeet that annexation is of highest and lasting mo- ment—the step is one of world-wide conse- quence. The world will take notice. The United States as the possessor of these islands will in its own defense be a power in the Pacific. American control in Huwali means American improvement for all that may be necessary to make the islands one of the strongest oz sea outposts. The Nica- ragua canal is virtually assured now, and with Cuba free and Hawall showing the stars and stripes American management of the canal will be greatly facilitated. Nor let it be forgotten that the over- whelming vote by the two houses of Con- gress is, in effect, a vindication of the memories of Minister Stevens and Captain Wiltse of the Boston. The malignant effort made during the lifetime of those worthy officials and excellent men, and continued after both were in their graves, to fix the stigma of conspiracy upon them falis ab- solutely. Congress accepts for the Amer- ican people territory no less honestly of- fered than honestly in position to be offer- ed by those who have redeemed it from savagery and shame. Besed upon a close personal acquaintance with conditions in the islands and with the strong and worthy ricans who have controlled their des- , and upon full appreciation of th use- ful and vital part to be played by Hawali in the development of the American repub- lic of the future, The Star has long been an advocate of Hawaiian annexation, 1 tt is glad to participate in th> final vic- y of a campaign so distinctly and con- nusly for the promotion of the na- tional welfare. resolution, a ne Ame for justice, people, urgent spi ——__-+4¢e ——__ Murder on the High Seas. The loss of the Bourgogne and the drown- ing of nearly six hundred of her pas- sengers do not measure the full horrors of this disaster. it appears that many of the victims were Gelibgrately slaughtered by maddened men in a“frantic rush for the beats; that In this great crisis, when dis- cipline and coolness are most seriously needed, the crew of the fated ship forgot their duty, forgot their manhood, forgot even that the grave dangers of their own position increased and the chances of es- cape decreased in proportion as they lost rol of chemselves. The ordinary shipwreck is an appalling lisaster and tt requires the utmost coolness and bravery among the officers and crew to preserve the order that {s absolutely es- sential to secure a maximum of results in Saving lives. But with a crew of brutes fighting for the boats, with the semi-bar- barle occupants of the hold streaming through the hatches and stabbing here and there in the fog, it is clear that the officers of the Bourgogne were powerless. The fact that but one of the responsible men on board, the purser, was saved speaks vol- umes for the heroism of these devoted of- ficers. But for those of the crew of the ship who saved themselves through the de- struction of others there can be nothing but loathing. Probably no personal punish- ment can be meted out to the men who slew others in the mad rush for the boats and who uselessly pushed clinging victims away from rafts and gunwales after the ship had gone down. It will doubtless be impossible to distinguish individuals suf- ficiently to dole out to thes? animals the justice that Is their due. But the verdict of humanity is rendered in execration of the men who thus lowered themselves to the level of beasts. —— ++ ___ Among the qvesticns that are forcing themselves on the attention of the Ameri- can people just now, are these: Why have our military and naval forces not been supplied with smokeless powder? Who is responsible for the awful advantage given to our enemies by this disastrous over- sight, blunder or crime, whichever it may be properly called? ———++o. In the exchange of Hobson and his seven men Spain received eighteen of her own soldiers. Elghteen for eight is a rather low ratio in consideration of the demonstrated superiority of the American fighiers. We have decidedly the advantage in he deal. - =e oe Welcome to the Educators. y-nine years ago the educators of try, then In organization for two years, met in national session in this city, @ small but earnest body of men and wo- men. Today the same organizacign as- sembles once more at the natlonal canital, vas‘ly grown both in numbers and in- fluence, representing in the advancement of methods and of ideals the progress of the civilization of which they are so im- portant a factor. Washington welcomes the National Fdu- estional Association as it meets for its annual work of diffusing among its mem- bers the latest theories of teaching and of spreading broadcast the tnspiration of ad- vancement in every branch of the noble work of education. No body today in ex- istence reaches more closely to the funda- ments of this country’s welfaura. These teachers here assembled by thousands are today engaged in the undertaxing of main- taining the high standards 2f American citizenship, of rightly directing the youth- les of those who will constitute the nation of a few years hence. This perpetual work of fcundation laying must be entrusted to capable hands. Upon the personnel, therefore, of such a corpa as is today represented in this city by the dele- gates to the convention depends far more than can readily be estimated. Under such clroumstances there is a direct need for these periodical meztings of individuals, representative of every state and section, Of every“Witace of local sentiment, of every form of preference. for this method or for that. This convention ts thus a sort of great educational clearing house, where the dest achievements of every part of the teaching system are exploited and ten- dered as exampies and guides to all who are engaged in the work. This surely ratses the standard of personal fitness ani pre- vents the dangerous rusting that threatens in educational work if those engaged per- sist in following traditions without emerg- ing into contact with advanced and ad- vancing thinkers in their line of effort. The science of teaching, cld in its hegin- nings as the world itself, is unfinishable. It must be kept in progress as the werld learns and needs more, as the requirements and duties of man enlarge, as his oppor- tunities expand. The nation’s capital is glad that the session of 1898 is being held here, particu- larly In view of the great evenis now pass- ing. History is being made and it is for- tunate that this great body of the people's most valuable servants has ass2mbled here at a time when potent changes are taking place in the relations of the ¥nited States with the rest of the world. The time and the place are filled with the spirit of pro- gress and wholesome national development. ——— see Why Cervera Los The more that is kncwn In detail of the naval fight off Santiago last Sunday the mere satisfactory the result becomes in American eyes. At first it seemed as though Cervera had been prevented from succeeding in his desperate attempt by the sheer force of superior numbers. It looked like a clear case of good fortune that the American force was sufficiently large to crush the Spaniard before his superior speed could put him out of range. But now it appears that for all practical purposes the fight was between well matched ships, beth in point of numbers and equipment. In the running fight there was no material advantage on either side. Spain had the 3, theoretically, while America er men. The same difference in marksm<.1ship that contributed so heav- ily to Dewey’s victory in Manila bay pre- vailed at Santiago. The Spanish shots did not land, while those from the American guns foun: vital marks. That is about all there ts tc the story. On the American ships was perfect discipline, shown first in the prompt acceptance of the situation and response to the demands of the momeat. The guns were served with precision and skill. The engines were worked to their best advantage. The ships were steered accurately and maneuvered shrewdly. On the Spanish vessels the men were kept to their work by threats of death and were filled with liquor to inspire them with false courage and desperate energy for the time. Everything went “hit and miss.” Spanish inefficiency showed itself at every point. ‘The lack of cordial feeling between officers and men operated to make the later sulky slaves instead of willing helpers. If Spain ever learns the true lesson of this fight, which she probably never will, she will ex- perience a rude awakening to some of the most unpleasant truths that ever con- fronted a misguided nation. ———_ + « + -___ The Telephone Fight Opens. The fight of the citizens to compel the telephone company to observe the plain mandate of Congress in regard to rates has now fairly begun. It was expected that the company would ignore the law und would undertake to proceed as before, charging the extortionate rates that Congress has by vote declared to be too high. There- fore the pros no surprise and the e well prepared to carry at onc? and te secure, decisien as will leave the company no ground upon which it can stand in its struggle against reason and equity. The association of subscribers has acted well in advising all classes of ‘phone users as to the wisest course to pursue in this emergency, and it is io be expected that the work of enforcing the law will proceed smocthly and harmoniously. The dom- Pany’s tactics may temporarily succeed in preventing the thousands of citizens who want telephonic facilities from securing connections with the exchange, Lut even- tually, unless the unexpected iappens in the courts, the corporation will be com- pelled to accept the rates and open its servic> to all comers at the schedule of prices laid down by Congress, or go out of business for the lack of patronage. The arrogance of the corporation in ignoring the law and the expressed will of Congress will doubtless find its deserved punish- ment in the future. —_—~> 2 —___ Prayers of Thanksgiving. There will be a hearty and universal re- sponse on the part of the people of this country to the President's proclamation, is- sued last night, calling for prayers of thanksgiving for the glorious victories that have thus far been won on land and sea by the American forces in the war with Spain. After the battle last Sunday in which Spain's best ships were destroyed Captain Philip of the Texas called upon his cr>w to uncover and offer thanks for the triumph of the American arms. In such a spirit as this should the progress of the war toward a complete vindication of the American contention be observed by the pzople at kome. They will follow the suggestion of their chief executive and show that in the hour of their triumphs they forget not the Providencs that watches over nations as well as men. —-++—___ Ths clock on the new post office. building affords delegates to the educational con- vention a fine opportunity to set their watches by national observatory time, and affords them at the same an object lesson in the way government dos things. —>+2—___ Cervera and Camara have little to be thankful for, excepting that they are free from the danger of any clashes concerning personal credit for victories. —_+ + __ Bismarck’s advice {s dangerous only to the extent that it is Hable to stimulate the young emperor to show his independence and disregard it. —— 0 —____ Mr. Cleveland may as well be reconciled to the fact that when next the American flag is raised over the Hawalian Islands it will stay. ———_++e—____.

Reports of the casualties resulting from the fightiag around Santiago indicate that an exceptionally large proportion of officers: suffered. As far as the lists of the killed and wounded have been receivd the ratio of officers to enlisted men is surprisingly large, and can only be accounted for by the supposition, suggested in the detailed ac- counts ©° the fighting, that the officers went {nto the battle at the head of their lines and set the pace in the charges ‘even more boldly than is the custom in as- saults in battle. This intrepid expos- ure of commanders and subalterns to personal danger must have had a most inspiring effect upon the men behind them, and perhaps accounts for the manner in which the Americans carried point after point in the face of the most desperate resistance, and under the heavy handicap of inferior arms and ammunition. The President has already asked General Shafter to report as soon as possible the names of those who have won the right to promotion as a result of their achtevements on the field. The purpose of the govern- ment is to give its soldiers clearly to un- derstand that it is watching for oppor- tunities to reward those who show them- selves brave and skillful in battle. Per- sonal rewards stimulate armies and cause the fighting forces to feel that they are struggling In behalf of a sincerely appre- clative government and people. /_ ——_+ +2 —__.

Promptness Desirable. at do you think about resigning right said one member of the Spanish cabinet. “Is there any hurry?” inquired-the other. “Well, we'd better attend to it before so many people get out of town that there won't be anybody to resign to.” Not Individually Included. “You have made a mistake in your les- * said the teacher in the Spanish school. “In parsing the sentence ‘We must die‘rathef than surrender.’ You should have stated that ‘we’ !s a pronoun, first Ferson, plural.’ ” “Isn't it supposed to be one of our gen- erals who says it?” “Yes.” “Well, in that case ‘we’ is third person, plural, every time. Setting Himself Right. “Hooray,” exclaimed Senator Sorghum, as he met a friend on the Capitol steps. “What are you cheering about?” “We've made all the arrangements for annexing Hawali.” “But you were wholly opposed to that program.” “No, sir. I decline to be misrepresented. I decline to have my sentiments misunder- stcod by posterity. You've no idea of the trouble and expense it took to seep me from coming over long ago!” ‘The Moving Spirit. It was Uncle Sam as did it. It was Uncle Sam as raised The boys in blue unfiinehin’, where the can- non fiercely blazed; The boys that's ever ready when there's duty to be done, No matter if it’s on the quarter-deck or by a gun; Whose loyalty and courage kin outlast the fiercest fray; The boys to whom the world Is takin’ off its hat today. "Twas Uncle Sam as did the things which proudly we review, An’ his faithful sons kin trust him to be just an’ generous, too. It ain't the first time he’s been out a vic- tory to win, And in A.

From the Philadelphia Press. ‘This ends practically a controversy which in its acute form fs five years and a half old. It is settled for the advantage, profit and peace of the United States. The op- ponents of annexation had no logical ground to rest their claim. It was admitted that we ought to have at least a coaling station on the islands, and that we ought not to allow them to fall Into the hands of any other power. Betwe2n taking part of the iands and the whole of their relatively mall area there was no difference in prin- ciple and not much in substance. Neither is thers much merit in this country’s as- suming all the burdens of keeping off tres- passers from the islands without ourselves taking title to them. The islands were of- fered to us. The dominant population is American. The interests are American. They are a valuable acquisition to be had for the taking, and they should have been annexed to the United States fully five years ago. ———_~+-_—_- They Have Served Their Country Glortously. From the New York Tribune. : The patient citizens of Hawaii whose fathers redeemed the group from savagery, who themselves made it the home of repub- lican institutions, who have long waited for union with the great republic*which has had their sympathy and admiration, have at last obtained the realization of their hope. They are entitled to all the joy | it will bring them. They have served their own country gloriously by transforming it from a petty and powerless state into a most important part of one of the great nations of the earth, and their leaders will be remembered by their new countrymen with Jefferson, Monroe, Houston, Fremont and Seward and the innumerable army of those who have helped on the manifest destiny of that nation. —__+ ++ —____ What Harrison Intended and Cleve- land Prevented. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. Today will be accomplished what Presi- dent Harrison intended and what Cleveland prevented. We have lost five years, but we will make up for it now. The day is not far distant when the Hawaiian Islands will be populated by Americans to such an ex- tent that all present croakers will be silent. Westward the star of empire continues to take its way. The sun will never again set on American soil. — +++ —__. Smokeless Powder. From the Cleveland Leader. The value of smokeless powder was again demonstrated in the battle of Santiago, for it was proved there that the enemy had an immense advantage over our men because of the fact that their batteries were served with powder which did not smoke. ‘There may be time yet before the war ends to supply smokeless powder to the army and navy, but that is doubtful. At any rate, a good lesson has been taught this government, and it is to be hoped that congressional demagogy will never again operate to prevent the making of ample preparations for war. ——- 2 ee Sad Loss of a Key.

Another of those learn2d professional journals, the Army and Navy Gazette of London, diseoursed the other week on the inefficiency of our navy, and pointed out that “the key of the situation” was in the able hands of Admiral Cervera. —_——_>++—____ This Country d@ the World.
