Senators with hobbles would like nothing better than nn opportunity to make the tariff bill a packlun-.se for all their schemes that can never hope to Iwve strength enough to carry themselves through congress.

HAWAIIAN J The negotiation of u treaty for the an nexation of the Hawaiian Island * will bo a sore disappointment to that largo body of American citizens who liuvu confidently believed tlmt In this matter the administration would give heed to the conservative sentiment of the coun try and be governed by the traditional policy of the govern me tit. While It has been known that rcpioscntatlvcs of lliu government nt Honolulu a government that Is not supported by a majority of the Hawaiian people-were Industri ously and Insidiously laboring at Washington In the Interest of an nexation , there was no I bought that the prvsldciit nnd secretary of state wen- giving any countenance 10 their efforts , because them wns n justi fiable Impression that Mr. McKlnley and Mr. Sheinmn were not filoudly to the annexation scheme. The former had , Indeed , endorsed the declaration of the republican national iihulurni that "the Hawaiian Islands uhonld ! > < ountrnllod . by the I'nlted Stales nnd no foreign | ! power should be permitted to interfere with them , " but this dues not necessarily mean anii".vatlnn. As to Secretary Sher man he has declMi-ed in explicit terms against the acquisition of outlying ter ritory , urging thai the domain of the t'nlted ' Slates Is already extensive enough. The announcement of the nego tiation of an Hawaiian annexation treaty therefore caused general surprise and was received at first with Incredu lity. Tile grave fact of such a treaty is , however , before the American people and public sentiment regarding It should be fully and clearly e.\pres > ed. This paper has always urged and still believes tlmt it would be a grave mis take to annex the Hawaiian Islands. Our opposition Is not merely for the reason that the annexation of this re mote territory would be a radical de parture from the policy of the republic since. Its fotinihition , but because we are unable to see what advantages or ben efits the United States would derive from possessing these islands , while there are obvious possibilities of much trouble and large expense in governing them , to say nothing of the danger of International friction. These Wands are _ ' . ( ) W miles distant. They contain a mixed population , largely composed of Asiatics and three-fourths of which is densely Ignorant , wholly Incapable of self-government or of understanding our institutions. Can- there be fi reasonable doubt that under our system of govern- inenf , which of course we should have to establish there , this population of ig norant , and Indolent natives , Chinese , Japanese and Portuguese would be found troublesome to governV It Is true they h-ivo not shown thorns-elves to be particularly aggressive in > assorting any rights since the present Hawaiian gov ernment was organized , but this is not to be accepted as an assurance that they would remain docile under a change of political conditions. Very few of them now participate in political affairs. We should have to give the right of suffrage at least to the natives. The others would not long be content with exclu sion from this right. Political adven turers would stir them up to demand equal political privileges , causing- con stant agitation and disturbance. Cer tainly we do not want to assume the care of a population with which such a state of affairs is possible. The danger of international friction may be very re mote , but it Is still possible and should not be left out of consideration. Hawaiian annexation would be a men ace to the sugar Industry of the United States , the development of which Is of the highest Importance. We Imported from the islands last year over -100,000- 000 pounds of sugar. There has been n steady Increase in the production of sugar there under the reciprocity treaty , which allows Hawaiian sugar to come into the United States free , the annual bounty to the sugar growers of the Islands amounting to more than ? S,000- 000. With annexation Hawaiian sugar production would undoubtedly Increase more rapidly than It has done , with necessarily damaging effect upon sugar beet culture in the United States. Thus annexation would be a great boon to the sugar producers of Hawaii , but a serious blow to those who are engaged or who contemplate engaging In the cultivation of the sugar licet In this country. Thousands of American farm ers would be Injured by it. The expediency of. the United States not permit ling any foreign power to in terfere with the Hawaiian islands will not be questioned , but tint scheme of annexation cannot be justified by the as sumption that there is danger of such In terference. Much has been said about Japan having designs upon the Islands , but recent refutation of thl.s has been furnished In the amicable settlement of lliu controversy regarding Immigrants between the Japanese and Hawaiian governments , in which the former receded from Its original posi tion. Japan ban protested against the annexation treaty , but only with n view to securing recognition of treaty Htlpnlntions. The fact Is thai foreign nations understand fully that the United Slates would not tolerate any Interference with Hawaii , that the .Mon roe doctrine applies to those Islands as completely as It does to any other portion tion of this hemisphere , and no foreign government will provoke a conflict with the United States by attempting to ac quire control of Hawaii. The pretended appu'henslon of anything of the kind Is without substantial reason. The secur ity of the Hawaiian Islands against for eign aggression does not , therefore , de pend upon their annexation to the United Slates. From every point of view we regard the propaiid annexation of the Hnwu Ian Islands as a most grave mistake and profoundly regret that the administra tion has committed Itself to this sohcmo of Jingoism and jobbery. It Is said that thu treaty Is likely to get the two-thirds voteIn the senate necessary to Its ratifi cation. Possibly It will , lint It may b. rejected If the opposition to annexation In the country Is fully anil earnestly ex pressed. It Is a matter that ought tu command the most serious consMeratlon of the pvople. Xo matter what the verdict may bo , thu tcitluiuijy iu the Uurtlcy cnsa beyond a reasonable doubt that the ex- treasurer was n most skillful juggler of thu state's accounts nnd that ho never executed one of his star Juggling per formances without giving himself the profit on the turn and at the expense of the state. AX /.B.tf/rK. The call Is out for the annual conven tion of the Nebraska Republican league at Omaha , June -i1 , for the purpose of selecting delegates to icpresent Ne braska at the Itcpnbllcan National league con vein Ion to be hold at Detroit next month. It IH specially urgent that at this slate convention full representa tion of all the republican clubs be had for the ronsnn that Nebraska will extend - tend an Invitation to the national league to fix utjoii Omaha as the IS'.IS mooting place. Not only would the securing of this national convention be of Incalculable advantage In bringing a largo body of Influential men to the Transmlsslsslppl ( Exposition and familiarizing them with the resources and Industrial conditions of the western states , but It would give a stimulus to the work of republicans and republican organizations all along the line. Such a great gathering of rep resentative republicans from all over the United States Just as the stale campaign of 1SS ! ) Is about to open would encourage Nebraska republicans wonderfully In a grand effort to regain control of the state government. The enthusiasm of the na tional league mooting If brought within such close range may be expected to pervade the whole rank and tile of the party and give added strength to the republican ticket. In view of these facts republicans throughout the state should see to It that the state convention Is well at tended by representative men and a strong delegation sent to Detroit whose members will onill nothing to bring back with them the location of the next na tional meeting at Omaha. 'J'll''KAS / ; OF I'HUTKCTIOX , One of the ablest speeches delivered tin's far In the tariff debate Is that of Senator MeKncry , of Louisiana , a demo crat who , as he himself declared , has derived Ids tariff views from JefToivum and Jackson , and he vindicated those views by quoting from those eminent democratic authorities. Mr. McICnory's speech was chiefly devoted to an advo cacy of adequate protection for sugar , but he urged that it Is the duty of the government to protect all American In dustries , to the end that our great re sources shall be developed and the labor of the country given full employment. "I believe in making this country greater , " said the Louisiana senator. "So far as the government can Increase Its prosperity it is Its duty so to do. " He declared that the nation was com mitted more than a century ugi > to the protective system and said that the true doctrine of democracy was not directed lo the destruction of our industrial sys tem , "the putting out of furnace fires , the silencing of the busy hum of our looms or the whirring of our wheels , or. worse than all , to the paying of a premium to foreign pauper labor and the impoverishment of our toilers in every industrial occupation. " Mr. Me- Knery scouted the idea that protection is unconstitutional and said that the democratic party will never risk a cam paign before the people and say that Incidental protection means opposition to the encouragement of American in dustries. This reminds one of the protection ar guments of that sterling democrat , Sam uel .1. Hnndall , but that statesman rep resented a district of the great manu facturing slate of Pennsylvania , while Mcl'jnery is a southern democrat , hence the significance of his defense of protection. The Louisiana senator Is correct In his conclusion that protection Is an established American doctrine , which no party will hereafter attempt lo overthrow , and the south may in time become as much a stronghold of protec tion as New England. The Interstate Sheriffs' association , that has just concluded the sessions of its annual meeting in Omaha , is the outgrowth of the movement for or ganization tliut has nianlfesled itself so sliongly In all departments of civic , political and Industrial life In recent years. The sheriffs , as the peace ollicers of our various communities , can cer tainly accomplish much for law and or der by co-opcrallim with one another and the employment of uniform meth ods. Sheriffs , In the very nature of their olllccs , are frequently called on to work together. Although the Jurisdiction for which they are held responsible is only a single county , their duties often ex tend not alone over their own state , but over the surrounding states as well. Any organization , therefore , that brings the sheriffs together periodically for the pur pose of cementing acquaintance ) nnd dis cussing questions which affect them all In common , performs a useful function and deserves popular approval and en couragement. The system now In vogue of apprais ing real property for sale under ; fore closure Is urgently in need of radical reform. The law contemplates a sale at a fair and honest valuation , which can not be obtained when appraisals are made by the Incompetents who make a business of hanging about the court house as snappi'ivi-up of unconsldered trifles. The slops taken by the Heal Kstnto exchange to modify this evil de serve successful results. The editor and headline writer of our amlablu calamity howling contemporary will have to make another effort to get together. Wo are sure the heatlllti.i reading "Omaha affairs looking up In crease In business ulum-n by the yeni'.s record at tht ) postotlice Department re.-- ognlzes thu iK-cd and will provide more carriers next month , " would never have been allowed to pass the calamity editor had it been brought to Ids attention In time. For ( he resuscitation of the calamity idltor ; of \Vorld-HcraId we recom mend that he read for a Ionic the article written by thu prosperity editor of thu AVorld-IIi-rahl ami printed In a Sun day Issue of that paper a couple of wcuUs ago. Thu World-Heiald then hwltt : "Things that were an if deiul I have filming into life. Hnslnoss that I was dix'llnli lias begun to experience a revival. Flloiises that were empty have been piled.

" PoHnls | the prosperity editor can convert the calamity editor over to the Hock of "citizens who wore de pressed , but have become hopeful. " The lire Hint consumed thu Immigrant landing station at Kills Island could have no counterpart In any other country , for the reason that no other country re ceives so many Immigrants at a single port that extensive buildings for their InsiR'Ctlon , doU'iitlon and care are re quired. The work done by the United Stales Immigration olliclals at this sta tion Is duplicated nowhere In the world.
