jfuvor this professing to fool thnt pub-

Ito no doubt thnt n very law ninjoilty
of the people of the United States would
hiMrllly appitivo the open discussion of
the tieiity. 'Ihey vumt to hear nil that
the advocates of annexation have to say
In Jiistllientlon of thnt scheme. They
desho to hear what defense the annex-
atlonislts have to offer for the pioposed

einnient for atquhlng these Islands un
der a tie.ity made with an oligarchy that
ins not been shown to repiesont more
than one-twentieth of the people of the
islands. If so in.iny.
Doubtless we shall get something In
these points even with the usual seeiot
eonslderatlon , but the Aineite.ui people
want the fullest possible statement of
the anne\atloiilst position and they
ought to hive It. Whatever may be
s.ild In ilefenso of the piaetlee of con-
sideling treaties In seciet session , this
limitation tieaty piestnits an e\ti.ior-
lln.ny ease which may veiy wisely and
H'opeily bo made an ON-eeptiun. It 1&
imposed to start the mi ( ion upon a new

; o dlsiegaid the e.udlnal pilnclple ol
our pnlltical svstem and take pofsesslon
of .1 country whoso native iicople do not
wish to become n part of this nation.
This i.idle-.il depiiitnie , if made , should
be with the utmost publicity. Not only
lliu Ameilciin people but the whole
world should bo given the fullest possi
ble Knowledge of the reasons for it.
If the annex.itionists do not fear pub
lie consideration of the tieaty. but
.ither , as It is said , believe that it
would help their cause , they will ofler
iio opposition to having tlie question dis
cussed In open senate , but we vontuie
to pi edict that they will Insist upon
observing the mle nnd having the.
tioaty consldeied. behind closed doors.
Whatever advantage theie may be in
this piactlce it is s.ifo to sty tliev will
not i diminish. In any event , however ,
the Indications nre that they me not
going to achieve theli pin pose vvlth the
ease they have expected. They aie by
no means nssuied. of tile number of
votes necessaiy foi latlflcatlou of the
tieaty and 1C they should be compelled
to lesort to a joint resolution for ac

lCAX CLAIMi , JUA1XST TUKKKY.
The Ameiican minister at Constan-
inople has icnewed the demand for in-
ienmity lor tlie destinction of the piop-
rty of the American Itoaid of Missions ,
vhlch occuned two yeais ago The
iniount claimed is about $110,000 , and it
s said that there is abundance of con-
clushe testimony In hiippoit of the
claim. It Is undeistood th.it Minister
Augell has been instructed to pi ess lor
i settlement nnd in \ low of the tact that
the TtiikNh ticnsuiy Is to come Into pos
session of a. considei.ible sum of money
fiom Gicece it is thought that the .sultan
will pay the Indemnity in older to avoid
further contiovursy and possible troubK
In the e\cnt of a lefnsal to pay It Is
suggested that our government should
follow the recent example of Austria
and send a naval foice to some Tmkish
pott with instructions + o collect tha gov
ernment duos until the amount of the
Indemnity was taken.
Tiukey will probably not refuse to pay
the Ameilcan claim , but 1t will he sm-
piislng if that goveinmont does not en-
dL'iior to put off payment. In th it case
suppose our goveinmont woie to send tin
ultimatum and that not being heeded
should dispatch war vessels to selsso a
Tmklsh poit and collect tlie Indemnity ,
would the Turkish goveinmont jield to
us as readily us she did to Austila ?
I'eilmps so , but on the other hand , en-
coin aged by some of the nuropiMii pow-
eis that do not feel friendly to the
United States Gei nriny , for instance-
Tin key might leslst and we become in
volved in a naval contllct In the Mod-
Heiranean. There Is no doubt about
the justice of tlie American claim , but to
undeitake to collect It by foice might
piovo pretty expensive.

Mr. K. V. Smalley writes from Wash

that a lunnbpr of department oillclals
appointed by the piosont admlnlstiatloi
sympathl/.o with the raid which Is evl
dently being piopaiptl by congiess
men against tlio chll soivlce system. Ik
says "theie seems to be but veiy Ilttlo
loyalty to the icfoim Idea among the
new assistant secietniies and hincnn
chiefs. " AVe aio Inclined to think that
thin statement is somewhat too broad ,
but however this may be It discloses a
condition which ought to iccelvo the at
tention of the ndinliilstiatlon. No 0110
will question tlio light of a public olll-
elal , In common with eveiy ultUen , to
hold views unfilcndly to civil service
loroini and so long as ho does not pub
licly antagonl/e the lefoun no complaint
can leasonably bo made , but when an
olllclal appointed by an adminlstiation
pledged to the maintenance and exten
sion of refoim In the chll service con
tributes lu any way to the piomotlon of
opposition to the refoun ho places him
self In a position to require dlsclplln
ing. Dlslojalty of this nature cannot
bo tolerated without Injiny to the nd-
mlnlstiatlon , for while there Is absolute -
lute eonildonco In tlio president's posl
tlon regarding chll service lefoim ho
will not cbcano ciltlclsm If he puimlts
olllclnls in flu. iml lie sen Ice who OWP
their position to him 10 piny Into Hie
hands of the cnotiies ! of icfoim. Olll-
dais who do not like the chll service
law should have enough respect for the
attitude of the admlnlstiaOon to keep
their views to theinsehes.
It really appeals us If nn organl/ed
iHsault Is to be made In congress upon
the eh 11 service law , but how much
foiie It will develop leinalns to be seen.
As we have heietofoie said In icfeieiice
to this matter , we do not apprehend
that the icfoiin Is In any serious danger.

Senator Stephen. M. White , of California ,
gives the following terse and unanswerable
btatcment of the chief reasons why the
United States should not annex Hawaii :
'The Islanels are useless for detersive pur
poses They are valueless from an economic
, iolat of view. They will contribute nothing
to national morale or wealth. They will add
undesirable elements to the already suf
ficiently burdened population The Island
ers are hostile to the treaty , and annexation
nvolvcM a dlsregaids of their rights. We
Are offered a buccaneer tltlo onlj. The
schema Is contrary tb wisely establlohed
precedents and to the teachings of the
fathers Annexation must eventuate In Im
mense arm } and naval expenditure and con
sequent onerous taxation "
Detroit Free Press If the administration
puts through the Hawaiian annejiatlon coa-
splracjto please the speculators , contrac
tors place hunters , and plotters , It will have
to do it in eloflanco of 'national traditions
and the republican part'a professed regard
for equal riuffrago , It will have to do it
against every consideration of public inter
est ; It will have to do It despite the earnest
protcnts and arguments of American citizens
who understand the condition of Hawaii and
who appreciate the worries and burdens this
government will run Into If It acquires that
distant archipelago Senator Pettlgrew went
to Hawaii to determine what the people
there think about annexation. He failed
to find a s'agle native Hawaiian who favored
the scheme that the administration proposes
to rush through at the coming session of

Philadelphia Leaser ( rep ) .
That a concerted effort will be made at the
approaching session of congress to annex
Hawaii to the United States Is plainly evi
dent , and it is to bo regretted that President
McKinley Is likely to favor the proposition ,
If not to recommend it. The movement had
Its oi'gln ' firot with the speculators In sugar
and next with the handful of Americans res
tdent in the Sandwich islands , who are bent
upon ousting the natives from their heritage
The do facto government In Hawaii Is not
representative of the people , and would not
enduie one week but for the popular Impres
sion that It has the moral support of the
United States The contention of the advo
cates of annexation Is that pcsbesslon of the
Islands Is a necessity for this country be
cause of their strategic importance In the
Pacific , and that Japan , or some other nation
will annex them If wo do not. Hawaii Is
nearly ns far away frcm our shores as
Europe , and Is comparatively valueless to
us. At present wo have close treaty relations
with the islands and , with the possible ex
ception of Japan , every nation recognizes
that Hawaii comes within the sphere of
American Influence. Without expense wo
are now enjoying all of the benefits which
would result from a more intimate connec
tion and wo are free fiom the entanglements
and annoying problems which would face utj
In the event of annexation
While several American senators have vis
ited the Sandwich islands during the past
year It la notable that the only change of
opinion recorded on their part is advo'se to
the annexation project , Jlr. Dubols went to
Hawaii an advocate of annexation and ho re
turns opposed to it. So also does Ml. Pettl-
giew , who said In a iccent speech to native
Hawallans , at Hllo-
"Wo came to your Island for the purpose
of nsceitalnlng what the people who live in
this country thought about the question of
annexation , of the islands , and also to nee
what wo could learn about the definability of
annexing theto Isliuds , if wo found the
people wanted them annexed on the pirt of
the United States I have supposed that
many of your people wore In favor of an
nexation , because It baa been so represented ,
but I talked to many and I huvo failed lo llnd
a intivo Hawaiian who Is not opposed to an
nexation to the United States and in favor of
your own government"
To add Hawaii to our territory means to
take Into our family thousands of native
Islande s who are opposed to our sever
eignty. Added to thchc aio many thousands
of Chinese , Japanese and other Asiatics , who
are In every respect hostile to our civiliza
tion , our methods , niannei.s , customs and
traditions If wo admit these to cltl/cnshlp
we have an Asiatic territory distlned to be
come an American state if it over becomes
American territory. The Amo-lcan and
European population of the islands In trl-
fling In comparison with that of the mongrel
and leprous Asiatics. Doubtless annexation
would bo a good thing for Piesldcnt Hole
and other conspirators who dethroned Queen
Lllluokalanl , assisted by United States ma
rines , but H would bo bad for the United
States
Hawaii as an American possession would
bo governed by cat pet-bagger * from the
United States and open to plunder by
political ndventuro'B It would be a novei-
ccaslns thorn In the side of the b dy politic.
The theoiy of the American constitution Is
that tinoigantrcd tcrrltorlts shall be ad
mitted to statehoood when they are ripe for
that distinction , but experience proves that
states are 7iiado only to Increase the strength
in the aerate of the dominant political party
Hawaii's tiini would come whenever Homo
political party , having the power and
opportunity , and ft-ellng asuurcd as to the
poHtleal complexion of the now senators
denned It necessary to Hecuro two additional
senatorial votes. Thus , In the event of : ;
close vote Hawaii's representatives might
dictate the policy of the American govern
ment
Annexation would mean a great Increase
In our navy If Hawaii Is o straleglc neces
sity It 'Would ' have to bo guanled and pro-
tooted It would need to bo fortified und
made Impregnable to attack , and American
men-of-war would bo required to defend this
priceless jewel Anxl what would the Unlteil
vSt.aU'g get In return ? Not a slnglo sub-
stantlal benefit , but a number of additional
vexatious problems for congrc&i to outtlo and
unsettle. Hut the greatest danger In an
nexation Is the Innovation In our political
system We enjoy the blessings of peace because -
cause wo have been content to rnlnd our own
business. Oncuwo embark In the field ol
colonization wo shall trespass upon the
armed camp of Europe. The militarism
nf the powers Is bated upon their rivalry
In annexing outlying territory. 'I hey have
possessed themselves of a largo part ol

a rou oil jealoualea tlut compel the main
