A I'OITLAU VOTE.
The opponents of annexation will
press Senator Bacon's amendment to
the joint resolution of annexation,
"which provides for a submission of the
matter to a vote of the Hawaiian peo
ple. The debate on this amendment
may cause much delay. If defeated in
the Senate, it will be renewed in the
House, and will, it mint be candidly ad
mitted, be regarded with much favor
lay some of those who favor annexation.
A submission to popular vote is in ac
cordance with ' aocratic practice. But
probably every member of the Senate
and House now understands that the
Government of "missionary thieves"
was the best that ever existed here, and
tttat the native vote would be cast
against annexation, more for simple
and Inoffensive racial reasons, than
from convictions regarding good gov
ernment. The better and intelligent men in all
of the countries inhabited by the weak
er races, Which are now dominated by
Great Britain, freely admit the inesti
mable blessing of British rule, in pre
serving law and order, and. life and
property. A few of our intelligent na
tives see that through the rale of this
stronger race lies their only security
from destruction by the Asiatic faction.
The argument for submitting the ques
tion to popular vote loses the most of
its force, and all of its sentiment, when
it simply means giving the natives a
chance to wipe themselves out by se
curing ithe "independence" of the Isl
ands. "Independence," so far as the na
. tive is concerned means a friction of
races here, and whatever comes of it,
the native Hawaiian will, unfortunate
ly, be driven to the wall. So Congress
may see that submission of the matter
to a vote really involves an injustice to
the -natives .themselves. That they
should irretrievably injure themselves
by giving way to their racial senti
ments in favor of independence is na
tural enough. Senator Morgan affirmed
the right to this sentiment. But he
tried very briefly to show that safety
was of more importance than senti
ment. The intelligent Spaniards of
California resented vigorously the an
nexation of that territory by force to
the United States, but some of them
Jiave lived to see, and their children see
the inestimable value to them of the
change. It secured for them stability
of government and protection by law.
The native knows nothing about all
this and in claiming an independent
government only brings closer together
the racial mill etones which will grind
him to powder. One can not censure
him, but pity him as he invites his own
extermination. '
The white races are morally respon
sible for many injuries inflicted on the
native race. Captain Cook introduced
Tile disease and no civilization. The
traders brought them rum, and the
whaleman from "Puritan" New Eng
land almost submerged them with tidal
waves of immorality, which the few
moral brooms in the hands of the mis
slonaries, could not sweep back. These
w(m the crimes of civilization. But
from the best forces, laws and insti
tutions of that same civilization, the
native can now find his only refuge
from speedy destruction. It is a prob
lem which he cannot grasp.
ing piaco3, these public places are e.Iu
ca tors of the people.
A few men of New York City within
10 years, sfvured the openir g of s-mill
breathing places in that city, but at an
enormous cost. The land for 'one of
them covering hardly two acres, and
taken with its building for this purpose
cost about $1,700,000. The iend could
have been obtained 50 years ago for
$100,000.
It is an Impracticable scheme to ask
the poor people to travel a distance
every day for breathing places. Their
circumstance-s require that these be
placed at their doors.
MURDER IXTOOTBALL GAME.
SPAIN'S DIFFICULTY.
Spain understands well enough that
in the event of war with the United
States, the Philippine Islands will be in
great danger of finally throwing off
Spanish rule. Those Islands would
quickly be reached by the American
vessels. American money would in
stantly supply the people with means
or the most vigorous aggressive war
are. No doubt Japan would be glad
enough to annex the Islands. Great
Britain, in new relations with Japan,
might assent to it, and aid in it, in
spite of the protests of Russia and Germany.
The Spanish leaders know the dan
gers of the situation, and will not pro
voke war. To do so, would be the close
of Spanish colonial government. As the
matter now stands, the Spanish lead
ers, if it were not for the blind, almost
insane bigotry of the Spanish people,
would sell out Cuba to the Americans,
or secure the guarantee of $300,000,000
of Cuban indebtedness. "War means the
loss of Cuba and the Philippine Islands,
and worse than all, the saddling on
Spain alone of the Cuban debt.
The great financial houses of Europe
are probably doing some effective, but
quiet work in the matter. They will
prevent war if possible, so as to secure
something out of the Cuban wreck.
THE PARK AT A ALA.
"Why is it not possible or expedient
to establish the little park at Aala? We
do not have enough breathing places
as it is. The business part of the town
is an eye sore, so far as attractions are
concerned. The streets are narrow. The
fine buildings already erected do not
show to any advantage. The tourist,
at first, on landing sees a town, decid
ed untropical in its arrangements, and
quite suggestive of a mining town in
the Rockies. A little forethough used
some years ago, would have given a de-
cidely tropical air ao the business parts.
The best we can do now is to make
as many breathing spots as possible.
The Government now owns the land
for one of them at Aala. If the Govern
ment says the Republic cannot afford
it, the reply is, that it will afford any
thing, when it has the disposition to do
so. Philadelphia could not "afford" for
many years to open a way from the
city to the Schulkill park. Then one
man took hold of the matter, wrote it
up, aroused public attention to the ar
tistic, not the commercial va!ue of it.
A straight boulevard was soon con
structed at an expense of $1,500,000 and
the city is made more attractive. Such
improvements are always opposed by a
class of intelligent, but conservative
men. "Boss" Shepard made the city of
TTashington the most attractive spot in
the States. But good citizens fought
f his project bitterly. Aside from the im-
l portant sanitary advantages of breath-

There were many of the officers and
passengers of the Alameda who thank

He was commg in on the Alameda and
the Moana was just going out. Many

The watch presented by the Japanese
through Minister Shimamura, to the
sailor of the bark Rithet, for his heroic
act in risking his own life to save that
of a Japanese, who fell into the flood
last week, is an instance of the real
kinship of the world, as well as an ex
ample of the quick appreciation by the
Japanese of a daring and humane act.
The conduct of the sailor and its quick
recognition by the countrymen of the
lost man of its nobility, only shows
that behind all religions and creeds lies
a vast amount of charity and sym
pathy in the human heart. The relig
ion of Buddha and the religion of
Christ extend towards each other in
the hand of fellowship.

An Eotjll--h .Justice Holds Lat Exces
sive Violence Is Publlshablo.
A ase which has been heard by Jus-
ti n . lawk ins is of interest to football I
players all over the world. A man was r
charged with manslaughter and was
convicted. Justice Hawkins laid down
his view of the law with unmistakable
clearness. He said that if a man caue,l
violence, whether wilfully or by negli
gence, to another in such a way as to
produce death he was guilty of murder,
and therefore "rough players of this
dangerous game" must beware or ge:
into serious trouble. The Judge added:
"As, however, the prisoner has exhib-.
ited sincere sorrow and bears a good
character, I will discharge him on his
own recognizance in too oaai. Lon

SCROFULA
It is Foul Blood's' Advertisement
UCE
0,
In order to test the loyalty of ants to
each other, Sir John Lubbock once
made 50 of them drunk and incapable
and then drew the attention of 25 sober
ones to their condition. The 25 buckled
to it and carried the 50 home to bed.
But it Is Soon Cured by Herd's
Sarsaparilta.
Yes, Scrofal3, if anything, may bees lied
t he advertisement of foul blood. It is tha
ecourge of the world offensive, paiafal,
I debilitating, stubborn and well nigh
unendurable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may palliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
taint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, bo far as we
know, has almost invariably succeeded
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years of taint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hood's Sarsaparilla. Read this :
"My daughter wa3 afflicted with im
pure blood. There were running eores
j all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. V e tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hood's Sarsapa
rilla and I began giving the girl this med
icine. The result was that she was per
fectly cured after taking a few bottles.
She has had no symptoms of scrofula
sores since that time." Marietta M.
Smith, South Middleboro, Mass.

If of the "TRIBUNE"
J BICYCLES is that
they are weather wheels.
During all this inclement
weather we have been con
stantly beseiged by buyers
and prospective buyers of
Tribunes.
Another peculiarity of the
wheel is that they are the
most honest wheel built, and
in this respect are the envy
of all competitors. It is a
peculiarity that all - makers
would like to imitate, if they
could afford to do so. The
trouble with most of these
same makers is that they
cannot afford to put material
n that is made to wear.
They have to pay too much.

do you. If so, we can sell

that you will consider it too
