Defeat of the Sugar Trust. atifying and by no means unimport- ature of the result of the fight for n annexation was the defeat of the which, with characteristic ef- Sugar Trust, frontery, had appeared on the scene early in ihe action and busied itself after Its fashion in opposition to the public inter- ests Mr. Henry Oxnard was the general- in-c lef of the Trust's forces, and he was much in evidence at the Capitol while fight was at its hottest. He haunted corridors of the Senate wing day after day, conferring with his friends and Watch- ing the effect of the Trust's influences ex- erted here and elsewhere. But all in vain. This Congress, be it said to its lasting honor, asserted in both branches the right of the majority to rule, and by an over- whelming vote took the wise and patriotic and truly national side of the Hawaiian question. A maneuver of the Trust was its effort to create sentiment in agricultural and labor circles against annexation and then bring that sentiment to bear on Congress. ‘The farmers of the West !n localities inter- ested In beet sugar were told that annexa- tion would ruin that industry, while the la- bor organizations were assured that it would flood the country with cheap Asiatic labor. Petitions protesting against annex- ation were prepared and sent out by the Sugar Trust for signatures. The guilible were taken in, and the petitions were signed and returned here in the mails of Senators and Representatives, and by them jaid before Congress. One prominent labor organization official, working in the inter- est of the Sugar Trust, wrote.a letter to the Speaker of the House taking a stand against annexation. But the trick was too transparent. It was entirely evident that the sentiment de- clared was machine-made. The trained hand of the iobbyist was plainly traceable in the business. Congress was not to be deceived in so clumsy a fashion. The ques- tion therefore stood upon its merits and won upon its merits. The Sugar Trust and its thimble riggers were ignored, and Ha- waii was annexed by a three-fourths vote in the House and a two-thirds vote in the Senate. As we have already declared, the defeat of the Sugar Trust in this matter is most gratify It is distinctly in the public intere: That grasping and conscience- jess organization needed a check, a lesson. At had grown in ar:vance and power until it had come not only to the point of dic- tating domestic legislation but of attempt- ing to dictate the foreign policy of the gov- ernment. It did not hesitate to put its in- terests above those of the country itself. The value of Hawali as a factor in the matter of the national defense was nothing as compared with how annexation might affect the Trust's control of the sugar mar- ket in the United States. But the Trust has discovered its limita- tions here. It is not as powerful as it as- sumed to be. The Fifty-fifth Congress is not under the Trust's thumb, albeit there are members in either house willing enough to play the Trust's game. But the major- ity rules, and the majority—a very large majority—has this time shown itself to be superior to the Trust's tricks and blandish- ments. ———_ + +e —___ The Armistice Extended. It appears from Gen. Shafter’s dispatch to the War Department today that the armistice betw the forces at Santiago has been of marked benefit to the Ameri- can army, while apparently of little serv- fice to the enemy. The American troops have rested from their hard work of last week and have secured the positions then won. They the city «i from which delay gens ard ver: the the have even advanced nearer to 1 are in the best of positions to make the final assault. The has been utilized to place the siege to secure the ranges, so that When the fighting is resumed, if the city be not surrendered before noon tomorrow, the Americans will be In much better con- @ition té advance to victory than they Were last Sunday. The extension of the armistice for another day in order that Linares may communicate with Madrid suggests that a surrender is probable. The Pressure on the Spanish commander at Santiaze to yield to the American demand is known to be strong, and it may be that he desires to shift the responsibility for yielding upon the shoulders of those in final ity. matter be left to Blanco, who is in immediate command in Cuba, it is likely that the demand for sur- der will be rejected, for it is obviously at present Blanco’s hope to prolong the fight at Santiago in order to grant him More time to prepare for the coming of the Americans to Havana. Yet it is ques- tionabie whether there is much more that he can do. His sources of supply are now Practically shut off, and he will be soon, if he is not now, utterly isolated from the Fest of the world as regards cable com- munication. He is as strong today as he will be two or three months hence. Yet he has thus far shown a disposition to con- tinue the fight, and it depends upon Madrid whether he is to be accommodated or not. ————~++2e—___ It is now up to Mr. Hearst to rise up and explain his personally conducted exclusive dispatches to the New York Journal, telling about the cutting off of the heads of a cou- Ple of scores of Spanish prisoners by Cu- ban soldiers at Santiago. Up to the present time official reports from there seem to fail iv take his view of the matter. ——_+eo—___ , m's new possessions will afford brilliant cpportunities for enterprising peo- ple. Liliuokalani might go to Hawaii and grow up with the country. ———_++-- A Nuisance at the Front. When Mr. u Richard Harding Davis de- clined appointment as an assistant adjutant general with the rank of captain in the Volunteer army he was widely praised for his good taste in refusing to accept a post for which ne cofifessed nimself to be un- fitted. Subsequent events have disclosed Mr. Davis’ entire competency for military duty and cast discredit upon the first pub- He outburst of gratitude for his modesty. Mr. Davis now appears to have been en- @owed by nature with marvelous talents for maneuvering, equipping and disciplin- If mistake were made in his ppointment it lay in an under- mate by the President of Mr. Davis’ ablilty. He should have been named for &@ major generalship, at leas’ No other conclusion is possible after a reading of this young man’s dispatches from the front to his paper, the New York Herald, and through the Herald to sundry other journals that enjoy the great biess- jag of a Simultaneous use of the Davis dis- patches. Yesterd emission from this reat fount of military wisdom was calcu- lated to send a chill of despair along the American spine. Davis saw defeat written oa the soggy sound of the American posi- tion, disaster spelled forth in the American Lees, scandal in the hospital arrangements, outrage in the commissary work, incapacity in the absence of action during armistice. In his eyes the situation was desperate. ‘There has been much of this same sort of stuff from this eminent source, and, ac. cording to the Herald, it has formed the chief basis gf presidential plans and coun- terplans. f the Herald be believed, Davis is no less a personage today than President McKinley’s chief military adviser. The story of impending disaster, it would seem, upset the plan of action already laid down and resulted in important new assignments and adjustments. Davis had saved the na- tion from humiliation. This sort of thing ought to be stopped at once. It is discreditable to so great and in- fluential a newspaper as the Herald, which has thus far won only praise for its con- sistent course throughout the war in up- holding the hands of the administration in the conduct of the war. Its good record in this regard is now in danger if it per- sists in permitting this self-sufficient mili- tary critic who stands confessed as unfit for military responsibilities to cast the seeds of doubt and dissatisfaction in the American mind and to spread disaffec- tion among the forces in the field. This is the time for standing by the government in its efforts to punish Spain. The time now is for every American, be he soldier, | citizen or journalist, to withhold petty con- ceited cavilling. It must be recollected that Davis is now stultifying himself. When Mr. Poultney Bigelow—the friend of the kaiser—under- took to prove that the American army at Tampa was a disorganized, undisciplined and unequipped mob, it was Richard 1ard- ing Davis who rushed valiantly to the frent with a seathing rebuke and a defense of the army. This acrobatic performance serves to suggest that Davis is merely a callow poseur, who, seeking to attract at~ tention, undertakes successively the role of champion and critic, regardless of the pro jeties of the occasion or the demands of p triotism. He should be suppre™sed. If tae Herald will not do it the censor ought to try his hand. ————-+e—___ Two New American Citizens. Hawaii should feel deeply grateful to Lor- rir 4. Thurston and Francis M. Hatch for th capable and successful service rendered by them in the interests of annexation. Th se two men, the one the former and the ot} r the now retiring minister from Ha- Wail to the United States, have been un- flagging in their energy and tactful enter- prise in advocating first the ratification of the annexation treaty and later the pas- sage of the joint resolution to the same effect. Mr. Thurston was a material fac- tor in the republican movement and in the first offer of the islands to this country by Hawaii and his work in the early stages laid a firm foundation for the campaign that more than six years later has come to a successful issue. One of the original commissioners sent to Washington with first treaty, he not only made a splen- did impression by his own personality, but gave unmistakable evidence of the new civilization that has rescued these beautiful islands from savagery. When later Presi- dent Cleveland undertook to thwart the purposes of the intelligent citizens of Ha- waii and restore the monarchy Mr. Thurs- ton was of great service in Washington, and the ald he rendered to the Senate com- mittee on foreign relations in its investiga- tion of the “policy of infamy” was of the utmost value. At that time he was natur- ally handicapped by his official position, and later this embarrassment culminated in a@ severance of relations between him and the State Department, caused by the petty jealousy of officials because of his upright, frank efforts to prevent the consummation of the proposed restoration of Liliuokalani. His successor, Mr. Hatch, proved an equal- ly good friend of union and he has main- tained himself with intelligent adherence to the single purpose of accomplishing the an- nexation of the islands. Since Mr. Thurs- ton’s return to this country as a special commissioner in behaif of the new treaty he and Mr. Hatch have worked in thorough harmony, the one supplementing the other's efforts, and they have kept the ad- vocates of union, in and out of Congress, well supplied with information and ammu- nition for good use in the fight. The good judgment they have displayed at all times has rendered their seFvices of the greater value, and as they now return to their homes, American citizens, they bear with them the praises and thanks of their new compatriots and best wishes for the future. ———+ +2 —____ President McKinley's Statesmanship. No praise is too great for President Me- Kinley for the statesmanlike manner in which he brought about the annexation of Hawaii at the present session of Congress. The project had siumbered four years when he took office. It was encrusted with the barnacles of Clevelandism, and it required Sagacious treatment to revive it in a manner to promise success. The forces aligned against the President in his desire to accomplish union were many and power- ful. Men of his own party whose inttu- ences were incalculable were antagonistic. The case demanded taci and courage. With- out alienating any of his party associates, without making enemies, without resort- ing to threats or to an excessive use of the executive power and prestige, President McKiniey has gradually worked his way over stubborn obstacles to success, and in the act of last evening, when he signed the joint resolution annexing the islands, he wrote the verdict of civilization that will be Indissolubly associated with his name in history. —___ + e+ ___ The German emperor may have been very much surprised by Admiral Dewey's premptness and emphasis. It will be re- membered that Dewey had never bragged much about being a fighter. Adventurers seeking Spanish treasure in ‘aribbean waters should not overlook the fact that there was some coal on the sunkan Merrimac. Blanco has some reason to regr2t the po- litica] pull which secured him his position in the Spanish army. France may do well to keep an eye on some of the crew at work on its ship of state. —____ +0 = —___ Admiral Camara has more difficulty in reaching a destination than a polar expe- dition. ee Decadent baseball will stand a very small chince of even transient popularity. —_—__+ +e —____ ‘The Honors at Santiage. There is no man afloat at Santiago who will more sincerely regret thé officiousness manifested in certain quarters about awarding the honors of the naval engage- ment at that point than Commodore Schley. A brave man, qn accomplished sailor, vigilant and untiring in the dis- charge of duty, he is one of the best prod- ucts of the age and the country. If men in every walk of life were as much concerned about rendering the best service and as lit- tle about theatrical self-assertion as he 1s the wo. id would be the’ richer by a hun- dred-fold. Some of the more nolsy of the self-ap- pointed champions of this admirable officer insist that he should at the outset have ‘been appointed to the command of the fleet; that an injustice was worked when he was passed over. Would anybody ever have inferred this from Commodore Schiey’s conduct? Has he ever complained? Has he ever manifested in any way chagrin or dis- appointment? Has he not, on the con- trary, obeyed every order and set a splen- did example of watchfulness and diligence? = —_—- THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1898-16 PAGES. Has there at any time been any feat mani- fested on his part about his personal fame? He swung at anchor at Hampton Hoads until ordered to go and hunt the enemy, and since then he has been on the jump. He found the enemy, and was largely in- strumental in finishing him. Acting Admiral Sampson was twelve miles away on a duty tour when the Span- jards made their rush for the sea. He came at once. Had Commodore Schley gone on that errand with the Brooklyn he would have hurried up just as his superior officer did, while had Acting Admiral Sampson with the New York been in the commodore's place he would as promptly have made for the enemy. Everybody in lire made for the enemy as soon as he showed himself. There was glory enough and to spare in that fight. The offieial report, which has not yet been recelved, will tell the whole story. Acting Admiral Sampson could not if he would, and his splendid character goes to show that he would not if he could, so distort the story as to appropriate to. himself the credit due to others. And it may be safely assumed that a man of Com- modore Schley’s merit has no desire to fill the stage to the exclusion of his brave and Geserving comrades. Two admirals ought to come out of that victory, and the President could hardly err in naming them. —_————2 1 —_—_—___ The Spanish residents of Havana are said to b2 very gay.

SHOOTING STARS, Castigation. “Don’t you think this country ought to have extended the olive branch to Spain?” asked the man with queer ideas. “It did," was the prompt answer. ‘The difhculty was that the only way to make any impression’ was to strip the leaves off it and put it where it would hurt.” Determination. “Let us have peace!” the patriot cried. ‘Above all treasures else we set it. It’s grace we will not be denied Even though it takes a fight to get it.” Intelligent Instruction. “I don’t quite understand the latest exer- cise you have given the king,’ remarked the Spanish queen. “You mean the one in which he selects a number a) proceeds to count rapidly backward?" inquired the tutor. “That's to discipline his mind so that he can at all times keep account of the num- Ler of ships in his navy.’ Spanish Valor. “We prefer death to surrender!” claimed one Spanish official. “Of course we do,” replied the other. “What we want to do is to impress the public with an idea that the more men we sacrifice, the braver we are. We can dle by proxy, but if we surrender we lose our s'tuations.”” ex- Neighborly Interest. “It's kind of encouragin’,” said Farmer Cerntossel, “to hear ol’ Joe Backfigger sort o’ gittin’ up to date.” “But he’s arguin’ agin the annexation of Hawail, which is all past an’ done.” “IL know it.

The Senate has passed by a_ two-thirds majority the Newlands resolutions annex- ing Hawati. The last obstacle to the ex- tension of American sovereignty over these islands has been cvercome. The flag which the Cleveland Policy of Infamy hauled eown In April of 1893 goes up again in July of 1808. The America of the twentieth century has taken its first and most sig- nificant step toward the grave responsibil- ities and high rewards of manifest destiny. ‘The constant hope of the Sun"during the past five years has been splendidly real- and today the names of four republi- cons, two of them living and two of them ead, two of them Presidents of the United States, all of them true Americans, stand forth conspicuously for honor and grati- tude in the celebration of this momentous rational event: James G. Blaine, John L. Stevens, Benjamin Harrison and William McKinley. ‘To the memory of Blaine, first of all, the just recognition that is due. It is more than forty years now since the far-seeing mind of that great statesman and great American began to concern itself with the question of Hawalian annexation. * * * The Policy of Intamy is finally defeated, thanks most of all to William McKinley, for whom fortune reserved the honor of achieving the work which Blaine and Har- rison and Stevens began. In the crowded record of the present administration's ser- vices to the country no single fact will be more conspicuous in history than the fact that it was President McKinley who insist- ed that the Policy of Infamy should be over- thrown, and who overthrew it, securing thereby for this country the first accession of territory since Seward’s annexation of Alaska. It is a great victory of peace, won in time of war. It is the initial step in the crderly advance of American expansion and development on the lines marked out by destiny for the glorious future that is be- fore this country. Honor likewise to the resolute Americans in the Senate who have held the recreants and the halting to their duty! The list is lcng, bat to no senator will there be cause of offense if we speak particularly of one republican and one democrat, Senator Lodge of Massachusetts and Senator Mor- gan of Alabama, whose constancy, courage and energy have contributed so much to the final result.
