Converts like company, ang the Chronicle, newly enlisted for annexation, salutes others in the same fix, and for the same reason, no doubt, with that feeling which comes to a lonesome man when he meets another as lonesome as himself, The now stands for annexation because the Dole Government wants some help to let go its red-hot stove and is backed by 2 per cent of the population. But it was not always thus with the Chrons ago than January 10, 1896, the Chronicle said: *‘The Sun is of the opinion that Hawaii’s destiny is to be a part of the American Union. Possibly so, but the question is yet open to discussion. The United States has expressed itself strongly against Hawaii coming under the dominion of any foreign power, but from that it does not necessarily follow that it should become an integral part of the United States, and we venture to say that public opinion would be decidedly antago- nistic to Hawaii coming into the Union as a State, without the probationary period which a Territory must undergo. Texas and California are not cases in point to the contrary, for the ®onditions are so unlike as to make comparison difficult, if not impossible. “‘As we understand the situation the people of Hawaii must make whatis practically a unanimous request before the ques- tion of annexation will be seriously considered by Congress, and that certainty has not been done. We recognize the ex- sting Government for all official purposes, but something more than its request would be needed to get the United States to approve annexation of the islands.” But little more than a year ago the Chronicle did not want Congress to consider annexation at all until a practically unanimous request came from the people of the islands. Now it thinks we shou!d hasten the grab because Dole and Mr. Sam Parker want it done, and apparently indorses Senator Mor- gan’s dictum that “it is not our policy to consult the natives when we want to annex a country.” The Chronicle desires to proceed now, regardless of the danger of introducing 50,000 coolies into the United States, and altogether seems willing to go into the transaction eyes shut. HP:S TURNED ITS COAT. HE Chronicie hails the accession of Mr. Sam Parker to ranks Chronicle e. Not longer Wisconsin jurors who decided a case by means of a game of seven-up did net perhaps have a lofty conception of the sanctity of justice, and yet the verdict was probably as good as though secured through the simple and common method of ignoring law and facts. This method has long been in vogue and will remain so while stupidity and ignorance are regarded &s essen- tial qualities of a juryman. Amid the fearful turmoil tha: is causing strong men to shudder and nations to tremble rises clear and awful a new note of alarm. Mose Gunst and Captain Lees have refused to shake hanas! But like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day comes a general protest that nobody cares a whoop whether they have or not; which, indeed, seems to be the case. The escape from detention of J. G. Bennett, a man who 1n the most cowardly way attempted the murder of his wife, can never be satisfactorily expiained. There is no excuse for it. Bennett may get an idea that he has a right to cut a throat every time he feels out of sorts, and such notions are detrimental to the public health. Sullivan seems to forget that, while a candidate for Mayor of a great city may throw money away, some discretion is neces- sary as to the direction in which the money be thrown. Pelting newsboys with silver never yet elected anybody to office. Also 1o keep reasonably sober is a valuable idea at times, STEPHEN J. FIELD. USTICE FIELD is to retire from the Supreme Court on December 1 after a term of service which in length exceeds that of any other member of the court since its creation, Prior to his accession to the bench of the highest tribunal in the nation he was a member of the Suoreme Court of California, and thus, as he poinis out in his letter of resignation, his judi- cial Jife embraces more than forty years, Such a length of service in such high judicial positions is in itself no ordinary distinction, and if Justice Field was noted for nothing else his name would bold a prominent place in the history of the Judges of the United Siates. Itisnot upon this alone, however, that his fame will be based. He will be remem- bered as one of the ablest of the Justices of the court of which Le was so long a member, and the decisions he has rendered on important topica will long serve as precedents to determine great cases in the future. Although a Judge is supposed to live in & serene atmos- phere of impartiality and lofty dignity far from the strife which disturbs the career of ordinary men, Judge Field’s life was about as stormy as that of any man of his time. He had, and has, fierce foes as weil as warm and aevoted friends. It is an evidence therefore of his high rank as a lawyer that his foes no more than his friends have ever questioned either his legal learning or his natural genius for solving complex issues of law and justice. With nis rctirement a notable figure will disappear from public life in Washington and one of the last links that connect theliving with the great days of Lincoin will cease to hold public attention. It is possible that he may employ the leisure of hisremaining years in writing his memoirs, and if 80, we may have a most valuable contribution to that department of American letters. No man of our time has lived a more interesting life, and a true story of his career written by him- self would be the literary event of the year in which it was published. — Secretary Sherman has a way of saying things that grate upon the diplomatic ear of British statesmen. They do not object particularly to hearing disagreeable remarks, but desire the ex- clusive privilege of making all such remarks themselves, Any scbeme of annexation that involves letting down the bars to lepers is bound to fail of exciting unanimous enthus asm. To understand that this is partly what ails the Hawaiian job does not require a soothsayer. San Jose young ladies who acted as streetcar conductors for charity not only made a charming appearance but if they made any mistakes in the matter of change nobody cared the I about it. If Miss Cisneros is to go on the stage for yellow journalism she will be wise to have a personal representative in the box- office from the moment the sale of tickets begins, MESSRS. GUNST AND LEES. HE fact that Police Commissioner Gunst and Police Chief Lees have fallen out can no longer be concealed. Citizens may regret the circumstance, but to hide it is impossible. Bitter words have been spoken, and an extended hand has been declined. The somber truth must be faced as it exists, When a certain class of men fall out, so runs the adage, honest men have a chance. Happily the present instance is different, and there was'no excuse for dragging in the adage. However, having dragged it in inadvertently, to let it remain is easier than to drag it out again. When a Gunst, fresh from a triumphal tour of Europe, and with spine renewed, and a Lees, still unscathed of the unrighteous whom he pursues, eye each other with askance, there is something the matter, and people may weil ask not only ** Whither are we drifting?” but promptly cast out an anchor. There are theories in plenty. Some people think that Gunst, being sworn to protect the public morals, is wroth that gambling should be permitted, that he has demanded that Lees search out the offenders, bring them to justice and hew to the line, let the chips (red, white and blue) fall where they may. If Gunst is really determined that gambling shall be stamped out, then the gamblers would be wise to seek foreign parts, even to the remoteness of Sausalito. And if he is but striving to enlist Lees in a fight against this form of vice he will have general sympathy. But there is another side to this story. Dame Rumor, talkative old girl, declares that Lees is cognizant of the gam- bling that goes on—is willing, even anxious, to check it, but is hampered by the influence of some official high in station who not only believes in gambling on general principles, but is silent pariner in several little games himself. This is difficult to believe in the first p'ace and a poor excuse in the second place. If Lees is embarrassed by any such official his plain duty is to go ahead regardless of painful exposure. It is his duty not only to arrest offenders, but to reveal the name of the unfaithful official to Gunst that, with combined influence, the two may be brought to crush the malign .power that is par- alyzing the good right hand of Lees. Who is the wicked in- dividual? What pull has he? Certainly none so great but that Gunst and Lees, lovingly and trustingly united, could not | defy and defeat him. Let the gentlemen be frank with each other and with the people whom they serve, call no more names, make no more faces, but search out the transgressor and hold him up to common scorn. Many thanks are due the Eastern correspondents for the lucid manner in which they have made clear to a curious wortd the precise appearance of Miss Cisneros. One has it that the lady ic short, beautiful and innocent-looking as a child. An- other affirms with a confidence equally convincing that she is tail as a pole and extirely free from that timidity in which the | first observer discerns her chief charm. Regardless of the method of escape, there is a natural interest in the personality of the refugee, and it is kind of the newsgatherers to bave so fully met the public wi DEVICE FOR POSTPONING DEFICITS. N the annual report of Audiior Broderick, presented to the Board of Superviscrs a few days ago, there are concealed the germs of an ingenious device for subverting the constitution and temporarily evadinz the consequences of municipal de- ficits. The organic law of the Siate provides that in ciites, cities and counties or towns, the expenditures of one year shall not be paid out of the income of another. The purpose of this is perfectly plain. It is to confine municipalities to their in- comes—to make them, in fact, raise by taxation suthcient money every year to discharge their current liabilities, An interpretation of the provision by the Supreme Court has resulted in the ruling tuat salary demands are not liabili- ties within the wmeaning of the constitution. Therefore, official warrants may be drawn against the general fund in any vear and paid out of any money on hand. At the close of the last fiscal year (1896-97) there was a deficit of aboat $30,020 Mr. Broderick says this was turned into an apparent surplus by the simple device of holding back the payrolls of the City Hall | for the month of June. The monthiy salary demands in that edifice amount to about $160,020. Holding them back until after Juiy 1 simply transfers that sum from the books of one fiscal year to those of another. In order, therefore, to make the ends of two fiscal years meet, it is only necessary for the beads of departments to refrain from compiling their payrolls for June untii the books for the ensuing fiscal year are closed. aries for June they can ho!d them out for May, if their em- ployes wiil stand it. The demands for May and June will usu- ally aggregate $320,000. By withholding them a deficit to that | | Australia via | tered at the Grand, | tnis coasf for nearly fifteen years. if they can hoid out sal- | amount may be provided for out of the funds of the succeeding | year. It appears from Mr. Broderick's report ihat the fiscal year 1897-98 bas started with an actual deficit of $30,000. Under the doliar-limiy levy there will be deficiencies in several of the ap- propriaticns, and this sum can hardly be made up. On the ' other hand, it is more than probable that 1t will be increasea. Bat if $320,000 can be carried over toa new fiscal period by hold- ing back the salary demands for May and June, 1t may be some time before the taxpayers will bezin to feel the effects of the dollar-limit levy of this year. Eventually, however, they will have to pay the bill. When that time comes they will have a handsome deficit on hand. The year 1897-98 having started with a deficit of $80,000, the year 1898-99 will probably start with one twice or three tirnes as large. It we have a dollar-limit levy for 1898.99, the year 1899-1900 may open with the city half a million behind. there will be trouble which even tricky bookkeeping can no longer postpone. Sympathy will be with the Tennessee negro who had the nerve and Juck to kill four whitecaps who had called with the intention of killing him. Turn aboat is fair play, and all the better for good measure. We wish the plucky colored citizen mavry happy returns and an ever steady aim. RETIREMENT OF PROFESSOR HOLDEN. HE retirement of Professor Holden from tne Lick Obser vatory is not unexpected, nor will it be regretted. Whether it was his fault or not he has been involved in every squab- ble or wrangle at the observatory, and it has long been recog- nized that the only way to put an end to these disturbances was to get him removed from a position where he was clearly out of his element. Professor Holden is not eminent as an astronomer, and he has not attained a creditable eminence as a d.rector of astrono- mers, For some reason almostevery man who accomplished any notable work at the Lick Ob.ervatory found it necessary toresign his position there immediately afterward. Ina com- paratively short time the observatory lost the services of Keeler, Barnard and Burnham; and it so0 happens that these are just the men who did most to make the observatory famous for its work as well as for its huge telescope. 1tis possible, of course, that the director was not wholly responsible for the dissensions in the faculty at the observa- tory, and that some of those who resigned may have done so without good reason. It is significant, however, that he is at present involved in & controversy with another member of the staff, and vhat he retires under the fire of grave charges made against him and submitted in writing to the Board of Regents. The Lick Observatory cannot depend wholly upon its mam. moth telescope and its lolty mountain peak for supremacy in the world of science. In astronomy as well in otuer things the man is always of more importance than instruments. 1f the great insiitution founded by James Lick is to accomplish all that its founder designed and the public expects it must be placed in charge of a man capable of making the best use of it. This Professor Holden was cleariy unable to do, and the pub- lic without pronouncing judgment on the charges against him will gladly wisb him success in other fields and welcome his successor at Mount Hamilton, Then | PERSONAL. » L |Cl|:lrlu Becker, a Fresno merchant, is at the ok, L.

At any rate his Grand V zier, who is the power behind the throne in Moroceo, wouldn't let the Suitan ride a bike, because he was afraid he woud fall off and get hurt, and the chances are that he would have } done so.
