I'lesldent Dole admits that a number of Hawaiian are oppo.sed to annexa tion , but nobody can tell how maiij. Theio Is on Ilie in the United States senate a petition , signed by three- fourths of the native population of thp Hawaiian Islands , pi ay Ing that they be not annexed to the United States. As Senator lltown "aid. the AvHhes of the owiieis of these Islands , the natlv pop ulation , ought certainly to bo consulted bofoio the count i.v Is taken away fiom them. Mr. Dole and his fellow seliem ITS do not represent these people , who were allowed no voice In establishing the present government of Hawaii. That oligarchy has fiom the outset Ignored the 1-1.000 voters who had th" ballot before the levolutlon of 1S ! and of thp U.SOO volets peimltted to use the ballot a considerable number aio ad- vontuieis who have gone to the Islands dm lug the last four years. A vote favorable to annexation by the Hawaiian people would not remove all the objections to annexation , but It would dispose of one of the most seiious of them. A submission of this ( pie tlon to a vote of those people would also ob- fiono that .sound and essential principle thnti was observed when Te.xas was ad mitted Into the union and again when it was ptoposed to annex San Domingo. Can the spnato affoid to ignore this vital piinclple In the pie ent case ? TIW M.lll\LlXD SKA.1TOK. The senatorial contest In. MatyHud tcr- inlnatedyesteidayln the election of.Iudgi ! McComns to succeed Senator Gorman , Match 1 I'-'JO. who > e term will e.xpho , The contest attiacted a good deal of at tention , though intetest In it was not so general a& In the Ohio senatoilal light. McComas was undoubtedly fiom the be ginning the choice of a majoiitj of the lepnbllc.uis but a factional light was made against him. chtetly in tlie Inter est of a candidate fiom the city of Haiti- moie. .luilgo McComas Is a steiling re publican , a sound money man and has had congressional experience. With the ictliemeiit of Senator Gor man Maiyland will be icpicsontod In the United States senate by two lepub- hcans. This uupieccdented situation is due In huge measure to the objection able political methods of Mr. Gorman , which the better class of demociats in the state lepudlated. As a paity boss Mr. Gorman lor jears had things his own way. but two years ago he met with a decisive defeat , which was ic- peated last joar , and while ho will un doubtedly continue to be a factor In Maiyland politics it Is haidly possible that he will ever again be the foice ho has been , lie must also Inevitably lose weight and Influence In national poll- tics. i UK n < js7'j UN an V There is no doubt that the Biltlsh goveinmi-nt ciinestly doslies to avert a tonlliet in tii- far east and it is no less certain tint it is fully piepared for one if compelled to foicibly icsist any scheme iinoMng danger to Biltlhh tiade in China. The latest advices state that the iccent utteuinces of Sir Mich- ad Ilkks Beach which gave offense to Russia aio not appiovert by Loid Sails- buiy and some other incmheis of the cabinet , butthcio Is no dinerence among them In legaul Jr > the pioposltion that tlieio must be no barrieis elected against the Chinese commerce of Gicat Biltaln. The chancellor of the ex chequer was not satisfied to declare tills policy In tlie concillatoiy terms pi - \iounly employed by Mr. Balfon.- , gov ernment leader In the House of Com mons , but pioclalmed In language not to be nilsnudeistood that Great Biltaln pioposed to light for her lights If neces s.ny. It ! , said that he did this entliely upon his own lespoiibibillty and without the anthoiity or knowledge of his colleagues In the cabinet , with the icsiilt of gieatly omluuasslng the prlmo minister in dealing with Russia. That what he said was Impolitic will haidly be questioned , but It was 10- cei\ed with a gieat deal of popular fa vor in England and probably icllected the leal bcntlmeut in goveininmit cir cles. Salisbury , how over , does not want war , or at all events will endeavor to avoid anything to piovoke war. Hh plan obviously is to ies | Gieat Biltaln's case upon tieaty lights and the just pioposltion that In the tiade of China all nations sliill enjoy oipial ptlvilogc.s. Gieat Britain asks nothing th'it It is not willing to have accorded to the rest of the woihl and It simply Insists that other Urnopcan countiles shall take a like position.

" Tills Is the obligation which each member of the Board of Fire and Police Commis sioner ? assumed under oith and sub scribed to bofoio oiiloilng upon his olllcc. How has the ruling trio that rxerelses the functions of the lire and police board lived tip to tills solemn oath ?

Did they have In view the oIToctivo- ness of the police force and the inter ests of the city when they appointed a man to bo chief of police who never In his life had one day's o.xpeiienco In police service ? Wore they giildod or actuated by honest motives when they made the bargain by which ox-Chief Slgwait , against whom they had oidered chaiges profeip'd for displacing his I star , was retained on captain's pay and made acting chief while the leal chief of police Is kept on the pay roll simply because of his supposed political pull ? If , as Is alleged as an excuse for this palpable violation of sworn obligations , an ino.xpoiienced man was made chief of police at the Instance of the governor , so much the vvoi o. No governoi can giant Indulgences to disregaid oaths of office , and no officer can plead in justi- Ikation of lawlessness that he acted in compliance with orders fiom the chief executive ol tlie state. The poinicious effects of the reckless violation of these oaths to ptotect the interests of tlie city and piomote the success and effectiveness of the dopait- inent aio becoming 111010 manifest cvcty day. Tlie deploiablo condition of tills city by reason of its lack of police pio- tectlon Is attracting attontlon far and wide. The following e.xtiact fiom the Exeter Democrat , a pi : ] > oi of the same politics as the icform police commission ers , emphasises the impiesslon that pic- valks in the state conccining the Omaha police : If the officiate of the city of Omaha don't take homo action pretty scon toward ridding the place of the thieves , footpads ami bur glars \vlio are operating so tooldly and In broad dnjlinht rlrrht under the very n-e of the policemen , many people \\lll Iw kept awny from the coiilnn exposition. It is , however , not meiely In the ap pointment and government of the police that the trio of bogus icfoiiners has exhibited case-hardened consciences and hiazon defiance of law and decency. Moie flagant ! law defiance and dlsre- gaid of svvoin obligations , if such a thing could bo , has boon displayed by Giegoiy , 1'oabody and Ilerdinan when acting as license board. Stalling out with a lawless attempt to cooicc appli cants for license to pay tribute to their newspaper organ , they lode lough shod over all piotosts and lomonstrances oven whole made by their own chief of po lice against notoriously disoideily re sorts. Assuming to be a law unto themselves and with delibeiate intent to shield all lawbieakers wiio had submitted to bo bled by their newspaper organ , they adopted a mla that eveijbody who had deposited his license money in time to have seemed a license by .Tanuaiy 1 had theie been no piotest should be icgarded as entitled to .sell without a license as If ho had a lltviiso. But oven this lawless nile was not adheied to by the board , which had foieoidained li censes for everybody regardless of pro tests and pioof.s of law violation. The most shameless exhibition of moral perjury Is tlie action of the trio In the case of Diugglst Sluader. 1'ioofo weie produced by two witnesses that Slirailer had sold liquor as a bpverago contiaiy to the law , and by this act wa. ) debarred from lecelving a penult for 1SSIS. Not only were the witnesses produced , but the bottle of whisky he had sold without so much as asking a question as to Its use. In this case the good faith Impo.stino could not be played because the applicant had not liognn publishing his notice until a week after the new jear , and could not legally have seemed a penult until two weeks lat'r. But the boiul had no compunction In loveising itself and or deling a penult gianted a place notoil- ously a ding store gin mill. The ilowa snpri'in' court has ipvorsed Itself on the > m itter of what constitutes in oilglnal pickago In Inteistate com merce , but tlie loveisal has tlie ad vantage of being In the dhectlon of . common sense.

Philadelphia Itccord It will ibo remembered that recently a prominent English Ironmaster cabled from this country to the London Times an offer to pay all the expenses of a visit to America by a committee of the striking English engi neers If the Associated Society of Engineers would select such a committee from amang itu idle mem'bers The object of this gencr- jus offer was to enable the men to Inspect the big sh ips In this countr } Philadelphia being especially mentioned so that the } could see for themselves Ju t how work Is done here , [ > nd could then repott to their confreres In England. We do < not know what action has been taken h } the Associated Soclot } of Engi neers upon the matter , but ns the strike has now practically been ended by the uncon ditional surrender of the Associated Society of Engineers , we presume that the Invitation ivlll be withdrawn. The misguided mechanics : mvo gained nothing , and have lost even- thing by the oroVonged strike Work las t > e2n driven away fiom Great Britain which will never return , nnd new work which willie io forthcoming will bo performed In an cn- tliel } different manner The ultimate effect of the change will be beneficial to emploCT3 and employ alike ; but the suddenness of tbo changp , instead of a gradual merging of old into new sstpms , will strike- the cm- ) locs in a vulnerable point , and they must suffer for their folly. The English ironmaster who rrade the offer alluded" is Mr Alfred r. Yarrow of the firm of Yarrow Brothers , makers of the celebrated Yarrow water tube boilers and of other similar appliances.

It is Just such evidences of American progrras that Induced Mr. Yar- cow recently to make the following state , munt of his observations while in this country "American Iron and stool workers are Letter paid than English , but they do far mere than proportionately better work.

No moie Interesting relic of Ireland's old hlstotlc das has como down than the instru ment preserved In Trinltj college , Dublin and known as "Brian Horn's hatp , " relates L'oyd's ' Newspaper. It Is the oldest Instru ment of the kind known to exist in the laud of Erin , and probably in Europe The legend attached to the harp gives It the honor of having been plajed at the court of King Brian Boru , slain at the battle of Clon- tarf , in the } car 1014 , having passed Into the possession of his son Donough , the murderct ot Tcaguc , in consequence of which act he was deposed of b } a nephew Donough re tired to Home Thither the avenger carried the regalia of his assassinated father , and also the musical Instrument Depositcl in the Vatican , it 'remained ' there centuries , until sent over by the pope to Henry VIII , then honored by the pontiff as the "Defender of the Paith " This Is enl } fiction One of the greatest of Irish antiquarian scholars the latoGeorgo Potrle , Ins exhaustively and convincingly bhowii that the story has no foundation In fact Prom Its sUe peculiar structure and heraldic decoration , Mr Pctrio deduced , to the satisfaction of archaeologists , that the harp belonged to the smiller class of Instru ments used by tlie Irish ecclesiastics to ac company voices In the singing of lijimis at private ilpvotion or In thp services of the church. The instrument IR but thirty-two Inches high Thus Mr. Petrio contended U was too small to have been a bardic Instru ment , quite unfitted to have been played by the minstrel at festal functions. Tlie scholar also points out that his argument for the Instrument being ono for devotional purposes Is strengthened by the appearance of the let- tf-s "I IH. S " carved In relief In the Gothic character. It was the opinion of tbo niitl- . quary that this harp was made for ono of the two O'Noills who flourished In the four teenth century , the first as bishop of Cloghcr , t'io srcond as bishop of Dcrry. Ono of the last minstrels who struck har mony from the strings of the instrument was a descendant ot tlia prelates mentioned Arthur O'Noll , who played "Brian Boru's ' harp" at Limerick In 1760 Twenty years later It was presented to Trinity college by Mr William Conyngham The harp , when perfect , had thirty strings. It Is of ex- qulstto workmanship The upright pillar Is of oak and the soundboard of red sallow , the extremity of the forearm has a capping of silver , very aitlstlcally vvnftght , and thcro are other embellishments In the same metal There Is also a largo cr } tal get In silver under another stone , now lost Some of the wood Is much decayed Ireland , In old days , had rare craftsmen In wood and the metals and 'Brian Burn's harp" U a most striking example of tholr skill.
