It ha ootue to Senator Morgan, lato in life, to become a demagogue, Tho time was when ho was a conservative, true blue, old-time swore by the resolutions of '96, aud' tho immortal principles of Jackson and Jefferson. He is now on his way to Hawaii ou n nijfljion to marry other men's daughters to Kanakas, to make them sovereigns, constitute thorn n State, to give them representation in tho IIouso of Representatives, and ultimately representative power in tho Senate equal to that of the Empire State. Does anybody in his senses beliovo that ought to bo done? Tho bulk of Hawaii is to-day made up of a worse class of labor than that which degraded tho South in tho eyes of tho nations of the world for many years. The treaties with Hawaii continue with the slavo countries, aud nothing is done to abrogate and get rid of thorn. Hawaii does nothing, and thoy remain the blight aud curso of the islands, which this country will have to recognize, as sho has substantially promised Japan sho will do. Morgan and the whole South is for annexation, and ho is on his way to look for his future constituents. The reception he is about to receive, we have reason to believe, is not that which he has bben educated to expect. Ho will not find a native, or Japanese, or a Ohinaman, or a Portuguese, in favor of corruption, or servile labor. All, savo planters of missionary descent, are in favor of homo rule, as he is in his own beloved Slato. Senator Morgan is a mau'of advanced years, and undoubted Ability, coupled with many vagones, that fre quently render him it responsible for what he saySJ'riud tho planters will know how to show him tho bloom on tho ryo. The Senator goes to the islands, as wo firmly beliovo, upon a bootless mission. Tho bellicose attitude assumed by him whonover aud wherever fauoied opportunity has presented itaolf, has weakened his influence in this country and very materially discredited him abroad. The sober seuso of the American people is against the acquisition of Hawaiian or any other foreign territory. Every argument in favor of tho absorption of this allegod "outpost" that has bean advanced by the advocates of such a dangerous departure from tho traditions and practices of the United States has been shattered. Tho more the pet scheme of Senator Morgan has been investigated the more apparent is its weakness; nnd when the question comes up next winter wo shall miss our guess if a vory great ohange of sentiment be not apparout. Tho conservative sense of tho country, when once thorpugbly awakened, wjll bo hoard in unmistakable and final condemnation of this experiment. S. F. Nexvs Letter. Tho Bishop Talks, In conversation with a representative of Router's Agenoy, the Bishop of Honolulu, who is ou a visit to England, expressed the following viows regarding tho proposed of Hawaiii by tho Uuitod States. He said: "It is exceedingly unjust to the people of Hawaii, because tho Hawaiians themselves do not dosiro it, and if the Unitod States lake tho islauds it will only be against tho will of tho people. Fraotically all tho natives aro disfranchised. The few who side with tho Republican Government havo beon compelled to du so for the sake of their families. Previous to the overthrow of tho Government in 1893, I beliovo the United States might havo acquired tho islands without opposition, but owing to tho oircumstauces of that revolution whiah was only successful by reason of tho assistance of tho American marines from the Boston, thoro has since beon a revulsion of feeling on tho pait of natives. The nuucxAlion proposal is an immouso surprise to Hawaiians aud to their sympathisers. It seems incredible that the Great liepublin should not have first ascertained the views of tho people before concluding such a treaty. Tho contention of the United States that the Japanese ere trying to assume political control is without foundation. Annexation, too, will soriously injure British commerce, as duties on British imports which aro now only 10 per cout, would at once be increased to tho high tariffs of tho United States. My viow has always beon that it is to the interest not only of Groat Britain but also of tho Uuitod Status that tho islands should remain independent. barns-ley (Eng.) Index. Status of Hawaii. What constitutional footing haB the Uuited Stales for a colonial polioyt Is Hawaii to be taken and hold as a fortified colony or is to be admitted to the Union as a State? If the former, where is tho constitutional warrnut? If tho latter, where is thn argumont of expediency? Tho present Government of Hawaii rosls upon 2 percent of the population. The other 98 percent havo feeble voico in it. If admitted as a State will the 2 percent continue to rule? If the 98 percent are admitted to full voice what sort of a State will it bo to equal California in the Senate? The Dolo Government by its act doclarcs 98 percent of tho people unfit for representation. If unfit for a voice in that Government what fits them for equality in an American State? Senator Morgan says wo will not consult them as to annexation, and if not thoy will not bo consulted nor have voico in their future government. If wo have war tho defensive force will not bo fouud on tho islands. It must be supplied from our continental resources. These aro considerations which cannot be smothered and questions that must be answered. A patriotic jump into the air is easy enough, but strikiug tho earth again is a hard fact that must be cousidorod beforo tho leap is taken. S- F. Call. FOUND THE NORTH POLE. Tho telegrams puolUUed Friday announcing tho discovery of tins .North Tole by Dr. Frlthjof Nanscn created considerable surprise. It seems funny that Dr. Nansen should care to risk so much to find the North Pole, when he can get Rainier Beer, which Is certainly more practical than the North Pole, by coming to Honolulu.
