6 ——_ THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDAY...........-July 28, 1898. toward greater usefulness and wider op- portunities and enjoyment of the great blessings of self-government upon the wide plane of the American system, which form- ed the basis of the Hawatian organization when the monarchy was overthrown. To Hawaii this step fs into a new era of pros- perity, tranquility and happiness. The Coptic’s flags were thus a signal of the gladdest news that has ever been borne across the sea to the faraway group. Admiral Miller sailed yesterday from San neisco in the Philadelphia to represent this government on the occasion of the for- mal raising of the American flag that will mark the act of annexation. He will ar- rive in about six or seven days, but it is not certain that all will be ready for the ceremony when he reaches Honohulu, for it may be that the authorities there will have decided that {t will be necessary for the Hawaiian legislature to ratify the New- lands resolution which was passed by Con- gress in Heu of the treaty already ratified by Hawail. This step may take a little time. It is reported from Honolulu that the flag to be used on the offictal occasion will be the same that was hauled down by orders of Paramount Commissioner Blount in pursuance of the “policy of infamy.” This flag was sold at auction to Lieutenant Lucien Yourg of the navy, an ardent an- rexationist, and by him given to former Minister Thurston, who has now carried it Lack to Honolulu to serve in a further ceremony more in keeping with the spirit and traditions of Americanism than that with which it was connected in 1803. Since that date, however, one new state has been added to the American Union, one new NOYES crosBy Editor.

This explanation is the more requisite in view of the fact that the building is supposed to be given over, as far as it is needed and is ready, to the temporary clerical force cccupied with the work cornected with the war loan.

Mr. Ernest Terah Hooley, the bankrupt London “promoter,” has shed new light upon the price-current of noble influence and his disclosures in connection with his financial troubles will doubtless cause a mild sensation in the British capital. Not at This cc der news $s the sen One more the need of a cable to the group | $s demonstrated. ‘The act of annexation was accomplished finally by this govern- ment on the 7th of this month, when the President signed the joint resolution of gress. it required six days for the yle of the isiands to learn of the fact and fifteen more days for the peo- ple of this country to learn that Hawali had been informed of the glad tidings. Were there a cable between the Pacific coast and Honolulu these long delays that are so out of keeping with the spirit of the age would have been avolded and the pro- ess of annexation perhaps furthered. The signals fluttering from the mastheads of the Coptic meant to the watching throngs on shore at Honolulu a release from an ever-growing politicai responsibil- ity that could not always be sustained, ad- mission into the organization that stands today for the best in government, partici- Wetlon fo > oregress of the Americans that London 1s ever surprised to find that its noblemen are on the market. Their average impecuniosity renders it necessary that they find a cash consideration for the favors which their titles and positions en- able them to bestow. But it is with the range of prices that London society will be most deeply concerned. Introductions of aspirihg promoters to complacent lords and dukes and earls seem to average $10,000. The use of a noble name on a directorate brings anywhere from $50,000 to $125,000. ‘The peer has by far the better of the bar- gain. In return for his generous fee he does absolutely no work, merely permitting his name to be blazoned on letterheads and oceastonally on dead walls. The great in- nocent public, buying shares in the various companies thus boomed into popularity, is of course unaware that it is a straw man whose influence draws the people into what is more often then not a swindle. Of course, the peer cannot afford to lend his THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, JULY nathe regularly to irresponsible promoters. He loses his market value if he becomes connected in this manner with too many failures. His name no tonger draws the files to the sticking paper. So he must watch his employers and avoid too obvious frauds. What else is there for the average British noble whose chief endowment is a title and a mortgaged estate? His social responsibilities are heavy, his family ex- travagant. He cannot in conscience go into trade, nor can he spare time for profession- al studies and pursuits. He must devise “business” connections suitable to his rank and dignity. So he has fallen into the profitable habit of “premoting promoters.” It is the logical result of a bad system. —————— +2 ____ The hundreds of thousands of dollars lost by a bicycle tire promoter toadying to En- glish titles leave him in a sadly deflated condition. —_+++___ It musi be confessed that Admiral Samp- son would not arouse much enthusiasm as a descriptive reporter. ——++2e—____ Aguinaldo is slightly at sea on his ideas of republican simplicity. —~++s____ SHOOTING STARS. An Important Consideration. “I guess we may as well light up the Belearic Islands again,” said the Spanish strategists. “If we do, the American ships can tell where they are going.” = “I know it.

Not His Old Self. “Ts your husband very much interested in the war?” inquired the neighbor. “Interested!” echoed young Mrs. Tork- ins. “I never saw his mind so occupied with anything, Sometimes he has to think twice before he can tell whether the Bos- tons or the Cincinnatis are ahead.” The Complimentary H. Mr. Blykins, who is nothing if not en- thusiastic, had been discoursing with the utmost satisfaction on England's attitude in international affairs. **You don’t cherish that old prejudice against England,” commented his friend. “No, sir. I’m willing to show every defer- ence to that country that is in my power. I am no longer an Arglophobiac. I am simply a Hanglo-Saxon.” Up to Date. You must bear in mind,” said a New newspaper publisher, “that condensa- tion of expression is the great thing to be desired. Have you finished that article?” “Yes,” answered the new man. “I have used the phrase ‘esteemed contempo but if 1t seems too long I can change it. “Great Scott, man! You mustn't say ‘es- teemed contemporary’ any more; that’s out of date. Say ‘pestiferous, pusillanimous liar’ to start with and then think up some- thing stronger.” More War Advice.

If you hope to be regarded with a rever- ence profound Be good and don’t seem greedy when they pass the medals round, The News Should Not Be Withheld. From the New York Evening Post. Complaint is made by some of our evening contemporaries of disposition by the departments at Washington to hold back news in order that the morn- ing newspapers may have it first. This seems ta have been done yesterday by the Navy Department with the Sampson report, for that was ready for publica- tion eariy in the day; and possibly ‘also by the State Department with the formal application of Spain for the opening of peace negotiations. It certainly happens n that the most important news day comes to hand just too laie for the regular editions of the evening pa- pers, and it is only natural that every repetition of this annoying occurrence should excite suspicion as to its caus. ‘There is only one just rule to follow, just both to the newspapers and to the public, and that is to give out the news at the earliest possible moment, day or night. The public is entitled in a time of great St and anxiety, like the present, to 1 proper information about the do- ings of the army and navy without ‘un- necessary delay and without regard as to which set‘of newspapers, morning or even- ing, gets it first. ———>+2e—____ Porto Rico’s Future. From the Indianapolis New We cannot honorably hold Cuba, unless, indeed, necessity should compel us to do so. Pi sion of the Philippines would in- volve us in many compligations from which we are now free and which, we believe, our people would be glad to avoid. But we are under no pledge in regard to Porto Rico. The island is near at hand and entirely within the sphere of American influence. "It wilh be comparatively easy for this government to administer its af- fairs. And the island will prove a valua- ble acquisition. No foreign power can In- terpose any plausible objection to our hold- ing it, for there is no European question in- volved. The seizing of Porto Rico is equiva- lent to saying that we will not hold Cuba: that we are uncertain about the Philippines, and that, therefore, we shall absorb the nearest Spanish territory which we can take without violating our pledge. ————+ +s —___ A Canadian View of the War. From the London (Canada) Advertiser. It is surely interesting to observe, as we are all observing today, the large makings of history. Half a dozen considerable re- sults have already flown from the war be- tween the United States and Spain. They are the following: 1. Spain has lost all her possessions in the western hemisphere, and will probably lose all of her outside possessions. 2. The war has thoroughly destroyed any sectionalism that had survived as between north and south. 3. The view of the United States has been withdrawn forever from merely local or parish politics. The @ay of a necessarv widened or world-view has arrived. 4. The United States now denotes a colo- nial, or imperial, power. Like England and France, she is now the possessor of colo- nies. 5. The war has been the incidental means of creating a strong bond of friendliness, and a sense of mutuality of interests, as between the United States and Great Brit- ain. 6. The destruction of two Spanish fleets and’the capture of Santiago. have ‘resulted in an enormous increase in respect for the power of the United States on the part of the nations of continental Europe. ——+e—____ Stop “Knocking” the Cubans! From the Pittsburg Dispatch. There is no doubt that the Cubans are deficte.t in a great many respects. But it is equally plain that the proper settlement of the Cuban problem is not to be reached by driving them into enmity and forcing the United States to undertake the func- tion of Spain, while destroying the very foundation of our purpose there. Whether this anti-Cuban crusade 1s simply the pro duct of general irresponsibility or is in- spired by occult purposes, it can do noth- ing but harm. ———~2e___ British Blockade Runners, From the Buffalo Express, One of the significant features of this war is the number of British vessels that have been taken while trying to run the blockade and the absence of protests dr complaints from the British government, 10} Reduction Day.
