THK HAWAIIAN MLHSAnK.
The mwsage of Presldont MeKinloy 1
accompanying the transmission to the
ectiate of the Hawaiian annexation
treaty perhaps contains nil thnt It wns
necessary for tlie nlilof executive to say
tinder the circumstances. It leaves no
doubt that he IB unqualifiedly favorable
to the annexation of the Islands. Hut
ns an argument for a consummation
which the president regards as "tho In
evitable consequence of the relation
steadfastly maintained with thnt mid-
Pacific domain for three-aimrtor.s of a
century , " It Is fnr from being convincing.
It Is true that the United States has
long held close commercial relations with
the Hawaiian Islands and It has been
understood thnt tills govorment stood In
the position of a protector of the auton
omous welfare of the Islands , just as It
Is understood to stand with reference
to all the Independent countries of tills
hemisphere , but the president would
hardly bo able to show thnt during all
this time eventual nnnexntlon linn been
regarded as a necessary outcome of the
relations. The fact Is that the develop
ment of nnnexntlon sentiment to nuy
extent Is of comparatively recent date.
It was started and cultivated In Ha
waii by the men who overthrew the
monarchy nnd established themselves In
power not by the popular choice , but
by forcible usurpation and It was not
until this change that there was any
serious thought or talk In the United
States of annexing the Hawaiian Islands.
If the matter had ever before received
attention In any responsible quarter It
was merely on sun 1 ami passing. Of
course the primary object In setting up
the so-called republican government ,
which Is simply an oligarchy , was an
nexation. Dole nnd his colleagues be
lieved that as soon as they hail estab
lished themselves In 'power the United
States would take them In , In which
event there would be both honors and
fortune for them. Doubtless they did
iccelve some encouragement from
American citizens baving Interests in
Hawaii , but it is Incorrect to say that
there was any general feeling here fa
vorable to Hawaiian1 annexation.
Twenty years ago such a treaty as has
been sent to the senate would have mot
with a rstorni of popular disapproval.
The president speaks of "the right and *
ability of the republic of Hawaii to enter
as a sovereign contraclant upon a con
ventional union with the United States. "
It Is true that the existing government is
recognized by other governments ami
consequently has the right claimed for
It. but It Is well known that it exists by
the will of only a very small minority of
the people. Can we consistently with
our republican principles Incorp-jj-ate
these people with ourselves and subject
them to our control and government
without knowing whether a majority of
them desire to enter Into tills relation11
Are we not bound to ascertain whether
or not a majority of the Hawaiian people
want annexation before taking detinltive
action in this matter ? It seems to nw
that in order to be consistent with our
principles we ought to get at least from
tlie native Ilawallans an expression as
to whether they are willing to ba gov
erned by the United Slates.
President JIcKinley is apparently con
fident Hint annexation will be accom
plished. Perhaps he has good reason
for this , but there will bo a vigorous
opposition to the treaty in the senat-
and unless we are greatly mistaken
public .sentiment will bo found largely
against It.

During tlie presidential campaign it
devolved upon The Uee to expose the
various fake games by which the World-
Herald attempted to create political
capital for Mr. Hryan. It seems
that the hyphenated Hryan organ
is still playing nt its old
game for the purpose of keeping
Hryan before ! Hie public and preventing
his popularity from waning , A few
days ago the Worhl-IIerald attempted to
draw sigiiilleant conclusions from an al
leged comparison of the relative draw
ing power at lectures of Henry Walter-
son and William .1. Hryan. It said :
A few months ago Mr. Wattcison went to
Buffalo and delivered lila lamous lecture 0:1 :
"Money and Murals. " The prtas of the
city advertised his coming and no efforts
\vcro spared to secure tor him a large
crowd , such an aiullEiu'o oa Hie ability ol
the Bpealcer certainly niti'lted. The lecture
\vai delivered in 'Muolc halt to less than 5UU
people. Last Thursday evening WlllUm
J. llrynn lectured in the same hall on the
nibject of "niinctalllrfin. " The nuws-
papet'H , with < Jiio exception , either made no
mention of the coming or mentioned It
briefly and In a manner calculated to belittle
the event. The price of admission to the
lecture on "Htmrlallhm" was the aame as
the lecture on "Money and Morals. " IJut
Mr. Hryjn spoketo 3 500 people.
It transpires , however , thnt this Is
nothing but another bald fake on th'1
part of the World-Herald and that the
facts are precisely thu contrary. TaklJig
exception to the false statements of the
Woild-llerald , the HulTalo Kvenlng
News points out by the following ex
planation that the shoe Is quite on Hie
other foot :
Mr. Wattcraon lectured on Abraham
Lincoln , not on "Monty and Moi'ala , " a few
intmtuti ago , on Abraham Lincoln's birth
day. Ills uddrcfls3i In regular COUTJJ
and had npt the exceptional advertising of
a recent candidate for uupresidency. . Ho
picked Mtialc hall with one or the largest
audicnccH # ten hi yenw. The New a Hie
next day wid : "There was not a vacunt
ficat in DIP big hall , " ana It was ppoltea of
hi tliU' and other papers us "an immer ,
audiente. " Mr. Hryan lectured III Muc'ic
hall on Juno 2 ami Ms tunilng wjs heralded
aa ,311 event in every paper In Hun'alo.
Three of the papers published big Ihrce-col-
u in n pictures and eomcof them cartooned
him two weeks in advance. The repub
lican papern gave him editorial dlKurelcu In
ivlvance , as an Interesting orator and public
character , altogether apart from lila politi
cal views. When even the HulTalo Kxpreb-s
and HulTalo Commercial announce a demo
crat In this way It will be admitted tint he
Is well advertised. Mr. Bryan had an
audience which about two-thirds filled Music
hall the grcund uoor wss fairly full and
the gallery light. The- audience numbered
not far from L',000 Instead of 3GOO. ,
Commenting upon the nUomptod de-
ceptlon of tlie public by the Hryan or
gan , the News g'oes on to say Hint "tlnvo
are the facts , and they go to show that
Henry Wnlterson , tlie Intellectual pre
mier of the. democracy , can draw more
people to hear n lecturu on a historical
character than ilr. Bijou , ouly a fuw
months ago the most conspicuous man
of his party , can to hear him tall ; on the
cause he s o recently led to tlefeat. It
Mr. Hrynn's own pajK > r wants to draw
comparisons It will be well to fortify
Itself with facts better than it has done
In the present case. Htiffalo's verdict
wns decidedly In favor of Jlr. Walter-
son. "

Prcsliloiit McKlnley hns hntl no little

He Is n man of sterling ability and of
the highest oharaeter , and while lie has
hnd no dlplomntlc experience there can
be no doubt that ho will Judiciously and
creditably represent this government at
Madrid.
It Is understood thnt the President will
lot the Cuban question rest until a new
minister to Spain shall have bud oppor
tunity to fully acquaint himself with the
situation , so as to be able to tuviiniloly
advise our government respecting Span
ish policy. This means that there will
be no change In the attitude of the ad
ministration toward Cuba for some
time to come and that any change In the
future may largely depend upon the ad
vice of the minister at Madrid. There Is
at present no inoro Important mission
than this. If Indeed It Is not first In Im
portance , and In selecting General "Wood-
fortl for It the president has maintained
the high standard of his diplomatic ap
pointments.
m Ann.
It has long been a familiar fact thai
there Is a considerable element In En
gland opposed to the free trade policy
and there Is some reason to In-Hove that
It Is growing In strength and Intluencu.
At a recent assemblage of colonial pre
miers In London a notable speech was
mad' ' by the Duke of Devonshire , one
of the leaders of the old liberal party ,
strongly devoted to free trade. The ven
erable duke declared that all could WL
that the virtues and results which wore
expected to follow free trade have not
been realized and the prophecy of Its
universal adoption has been falsified.
"Yet the C.obdonitos. " he said , "still seek
to persuade us that it is best that Great
Britain should be the only free trade
country in the world. " He wont on to
say that the experience of England dur
ing the la.st llfty years has shown that
neither old nor new markets are open
ing by the Inlliionco of free trade alone.
A vindication of this statement is found
in the fact that Germany and France ,
protection countries , are making Inroads
upon Hritish trade In Asia ami South
America.
It is not probable that England will
abandon her free trade polic.y in the near
future , though Mr. Chamberlain , secre
tary for the colonies , is an earnest'tidvo-
cate of a policy that will afford protection
to the products of British colonies which
compote Jn the English market with the
products of foreign countries. The id.-i
of Mr. Chamberlain is to establish an
Imperial customs union , which might in
volve the imposition of duties on wheat ,
Hour and moats from the United Statt'i ?
and the Argentine Republic competing
with Australian and Canadian products.
But at all events those indications of the
trend of .sentiment in England in regard
to the fiscal policy of that country are
interesting. When eminent British
statesmen declare before the world that
free trade has not ival'zod what was pr. > -
phosiod and expected , protectionists
everywhere are .Instilled in holding ( irm
ly to thi'lr views , for whatever free trade
has not accomplished for England it cer
tainly cou'd not accompli-ih f..rany oth.-r
country.
The secretary of Hie local Hricklayers'
union admits thai thro are more than
twice as many bricklayers at work In
Omaha now than at tills season of hut
year. Yet he objects to having it ad
vertised tli-.tt the demand for labor ! : '
improving , because such an announce
nient tends to attract outsiders , who
compete for employment with local
laborers who have courageously clung
to Omaha during the days of depres
sion and who certainly deserve first con
sideration when employment is
available. If there are more men look
Ing for work hero than a few mouths
ago it is because there are more men at
work anil the newcomers want to

Setting over tlie hearing of tins stock

the chances for the new stock yards law

Senator Allen Is a good populist , but
he Is also In favor of having his home
Interests protected by the new tariff. He
wants the culture of the sugar beet en
couraged , nnd Is even willing to abro
gate the Hawaiian treaty for this pur
pose. Nebraska could easily supply all
the sugar that Is now Imported from
Hawaii If It only had a few more beet
sugar factories.
No sugar schedule will be. satisfactory
to Nebraska unless It gives adequate pro-
tectlon to the beet sugar producer. With
a favorable tariff on Imports of sugar ,
the beet sugar Industry In Nebraska
ought to experlenco a genuine Ixiom and
sugar beet culture extended and made
more profitable to the farmers ,

Two cases covering the same point and
coming to the same conclusion have Just been
decided , one by the appellate d'lvlblon of the
supreme court of Now York , one by our own
appellate court.
In the New York case a woman brought
suit for damages against a street railway
company for Injuries received. It appears
she entered the car , and finding all the seats
occupied was compelled to stand in the aisle
and hold to one of the straps. It was a
trolley car , and when the motorman started
It he did It so violently that the plaintiff and
other pa. soiigers were hurled to th ? Hoar.
She was lifted to a sea * , which wns our-
ronde-eJ to her , but made no complaint to tliq
conductor , nor was any notification given to
the company until the suit was brought. The
negligence- Imputed to the company was the
Improper Etartlng rf the car and the def ctlvo
strap , which had broken In plaintiff's hand.m
The court held that evidence of the violent
lent starting of the car by the application
of more power than was safe and prudent
wns properly left to the Jury to show negli
gence on the yart of the company and thnt
a judgment for damages waa properly ren
dered
In the Ch'ififio ' case the plaintiff was In
jured Ly the Midden starting of a cab ! > <
train , sustaining a fracture. The court sayn
that J10,00 > J Is not excessive damagra fo- ;
such an Injury.
Life is made very miserable to passengers
on our blrcet cars < by thu sudden stopping
and starting of the motors , those standing
being obliged to cling to the straps with
all their strength. It Is , of course , due to
thc > want of skill on tlie part of the molt > r-
uifii. Thu courlo hold the companies liable
in very heavy damages for injuries Inflicted
ttiruugh IhlH < wnnt of skill , Now thai the
season of cptni cars has come and pjsK'-n-
eto are prrmltled to bland on the ruunmg

could Ptntul. It In very seldom that uch an
appeal \a \ made to the sympathy nnd charit

Chicago Test : There ls no doubt that
Darnato had a keen Intellect and the genius
for ( peculation , Without South Africa he
never could have achieved notoriety nnd
fortune , hut even South AfrlCn can produce
only one Hnrnato , as It his produced only
one Cecil Ilhodc . llarnato's death rudely
ii'calls many to the seamy sld < > of dazzling
vanity fair. Thnt he waa temporarily de
ranged when he leaped to his dtnth seems an
inevitable conclusion.

when a president of Uie United States , re-
tuinlng from a public ceremonial , accepts
permission to view the glories of a million
aire's private home wlrlle the owner Is away ,
leaving a lackey In charge , he must accept
also what courtesy the lackey Is pleased to
afford. Vanderbllt had not proffered an in
vitation for the pri lrcnt ! to become his
honored guest. He had given "pcrml-slon"
for the president to call on his lackey , who
would obligingly unlock the doers and let
the chief magistrate admire the furniture.
If the lackey got bumptious , he was only
playing a lackey's part.

WASHINGTON. June 17. The WanhlnRton
authorities IIHVO received no ndvlces as lo the
holding of n big powwow among the Un-
compahgro Utes In Utah , at reported , to
protest ng.ilti ! > t the allotment In severally and
opening of the lands to settlement , l.lko
many of the tribes who view allotments with
disfavor ns contrary to their traditions and
cnsoms , the I'ncompahgrrs have not wanted
their lands divided and believe that their
rights are thit Invaded. They rlnlm a
much larger stretch of territory than Is
recognized by congress , which , after an ex
ecutive order setting np.trt the Utah valley
of the Ulntnh river affected by later govern
mental acts , rt.ive them the rights' to the
allotment of these lands of the reservation.
Tlie allotments wore directed by the Indlnn
appropriation bill for 1S9G-7 , which provided
for the allotment In severally ot all agri
cultural lands of the Uncnmpahgre Indl.ina
and the opening ot unallotted lands on .April
1 , IS9S. to location nnd entry , except those
containing gllsonlte , asphalt , elaterlto nnd
similar valuable deposits. Tho. e deposits
have been the cause of n protracted fight In
congress nnd the Indians probably Mse their
opposition to some extent on the ground that
these valuable properties belong to them.
The allotments hnvo not yet been begun.

WASHINGTON' , Juno 17. Conferences had
been K ° liK on between republican ami demo

agreement which will make marc speed with
the tariff bill. Nothing definite has as yet
ben ogrcetl upon. Tlip republican senators
have suggested that a lived time be allowed
for various schedules and after the tlmo has
heen consumed that there nhall be a vote.
In this way the consideration of different
schedules can bo determined and some con
clusion reached. The republicans believe thnt
a great deal of time could bo saved thereby.

WASHINGTON , June 17. The republican
members of the finance committee of the
senate have been In session today , engaged In
an effort to adjust the cotton schedule so as
to meet the demands ot those who uro ask
ing for nn Increase on cotton manufactures
ns compensation for the duty of 20 per cent
placed upon cotton. The committee has
practically decided to settle the matter for
the present by Inserting a proviso at the end
of the schedule imprping an additional duty
of 10 per cent upon nil manufactured articles
in which Egyptian cotton enters. The proviso
vise will permit the whole ( inestlon to be
taken Into conference and it Is understood
that it will be stricken out in case the duly
on cotton Is not accepted by the conference.
