Twelve inlands form the group, the largest In the North Pacific ocean, discovered by rt us Capt Cook In 1778, and named after the earl of Sandwhlch. Their area Isabout 4,OuO.WK) acres, >ung 'lit* largest island, Hawaii, wnlcb now gives II i,e 'ts name to the group, being 100 miles In * his length ami 90 In width. The population Is Iihs about 75.000.

Japan. 3.410 miles, to Hong Kong, China, 4,893 miles, and to Tahiti 2,380 miles, so that take America is Hawaii's nearest continental lem- neighbor. A last steamer, sucii as the City of :rlp- Paris, could make the trip between San Franister cisi-o and Honolulu In a little over three days, tout The population Is extraordinarily mixed, the The aborigines are dying out rapidly under ihe influence ot civilization, and number less than half as many as they did a century ago. p , Their places have been taken largely by J" Chinese and Japanese laborers employed on jiv:' the sugar estates, and by whites of many ?ii?h countries; but so rapid has been the decrease in >n the original race that the total population " of the group is now far less than It was at the *ere time ot Its discovery.

Hah, Italians and Germans the bulk of the recon malnd'T. nost The dynasty Just ended by the abdication of past Queen Llliuokaiana was founded early in the ileal present century by Kamebameba, the cljiel by ?>f the Island of Hawaii, who, obtaining European vessel^ and firearms, conquerred ilges the chiefs of the other Islands and established soon his throne. The Independence of the klngi for dotu was recognized by the powers in 1884. The monarchy, at first absolute, was modified - d to a constitutional one by revolution, and for many years Hawaii has bad a parllraent, a r" supreme court, and all the governmental'appliances of modern civilization. Upon the demb of King Kalakaua ayear ago his sister nin- Ltlluokalanl succeeded to the throne. She might have reigned during the remainder of i ad- ber life bad she not attempted to bead off an Inevitable revolution by a eoup d'etat directed against the rights of the growing aud powerful white population. The weak stroke rebounded when It touched the proud and pan opneu uuucassiau. f3. it Is not be assumed that Hawaii In in a to a state of savagery. On the contrary. It is luily C. civilized The leading Industry of the island, !om- sugar making, is conducted almost excluslveilng |y by American and English, employlngcoolle vis- labor, and the most modern methods are used. Good steamers ply between the islands, and nod, ail the lines between San Franclsro and Aus- > tralusla, Japan and China, touch aiHonolulu. u to That city has a population of about 20,000 and It is thoroughly modern, with several daily une. newspapers primed in English, street car lines, electric lights, telephones, etc. More Sat- o-lephoneware used in proportion to popula:ion than in any city of this country.

The native Hawaiians do i ve uotcutmuch more of aflgure than our Afroblra Americans do In some of the coast countries fa.v- of South Carolina. The trade of Hawaii Is chiefly with the end, United States. By virtue of a treaty made a day, dozen years ago, sugar, the great staple pro- . will duct of the Islands, was admitted tothiscountry free of duty, and, as all other oountries < )uld had to pay heavy duties on their sugars, the ring Hawaiian planters made a great deal of lug, money. The McKlnley bill, however, by rebe moving the tariff on sugar, has greatly re- i jtel, duced its price, and Hawaii, having no advantage over Its competitors, suffers much In fine consequence. A desire to siiare In the ben- i Jay eflu of the sugar bounty established under i the McKlnley bill is doubtless one of the < ille, ruling causes or a revolution conducted by jver the sugar producing Interests. a in hey i . It will be seen from the above triat the rev- 1 frth olutlon was not so much of a revolution alter 1 all, but a development, and that we are 1 . not asked to treat with Ignorant savages 1 f?" but with educated and wealtuy men of AmeraKe lean birth and training, who are looking out T for Number One in business and polittcs. 1 J* Thno hoitu tho crr\r\ri arpiioa for thatr I . course that after they had gone to Hawaii and <Vh aided In lta development and the support of uyn the monarchy upon the constitutional pledge Ha <> "r ''I11"1 rights with other citizens, an at- , a, ' tempt has been made to deprive them of clt- < ho izenship and -leave their large property in?nv terests to the unrestricted control of a Jealous 1 , "J* majority of the Inferior race.

We confess to symY. ' paiby with theui. They did with greater eaSe m ? * but we ,n South Carolina dlu in 187tS. ' The ^regolng explanation will serve to ' irt show why it is that the commissioners who 1 ,,'a have come to ask for the annexation of the lue Islands do not desire .-statehood uor universal 1 suffrage for Hawaii. They have had terri3ri8' torial independence and unrestricted suffrage this already,and have found them a menace to lDI8 their Interests. They wlBh a safe government . and a share In the sugar bounty. It is a matter of grave doubt what should be is d""" by the United States In this matter. ii ni Hawaii Is rather too far away for conventual |euce. ulthough not farther than parts r-11 of Alaska, and can be reached more readily ral1 than Alaska, It would bo infinitely more . . vii lunble than that territory. On the great 11 transpacific route, It Is an indispensable stoprive pimt place, and the Islands are so rich that ... an Influx of American energy would make i iLv Hum exceeding prosperous andremuneratlve. LDy The real governing ciass Is already American AX* in all bnt citizenship. The completion of the Nicaragua canal would largely euhanoe the value of (he group to us. The Interest of American commerce and navigation are to W. be considered. i^.i_ f Iia aor-nrunra of the nrnnORltlnn tn he mnrie her to the United States will not Involve any uuilon settlement ol our political affairs. It Is as a territory and nota State that Hawaii wishes to iave Join the Union. Annexation would so llood , re* the islands with Americans that our own peoiy. pie would soon have a majority over the t to dwindling Kanakas. The Chinese exclusion laws would go into effect and prevent the kuW. premacy of Mongolian Immigrants. In short len years ol annexation would make Hawaii her as fit for self government as California, ove, The only serious question involved, Is, we think, the question of expansion of the the Unlied Siatf-s?do we wish to stay as we ure < r "branch out?" The logical result of the ered acquisition of Hawaii would oe theaqculstlon of Cuba and other islauds and outlaying ter|i. rllorles. Are we ready for It? In oor opinion i rlu- w* are nearly ready, and this Hawaiian case rork, will be a test one by means of which the peoi, ar- pie will declare their continuing policy. uest Hawaii is too weak to stand alone, and its srest new masters do not desire to stand alone. Should the United States decllue lo annex It, Great Hrltlun would not be slow in gobbling up the late little Kingdom. We caunot allow ?h?. that, of course. We have already told KuroKrl* pean natives "Hands off Hawaii!" The only Th * alternative, then, Is a protectorate over the Islands, leaving the white people resident ; p there to shift for themselves against the nu>iith ,neric?t' majority of a low race. "Blood is illn thicker than water," and In view of the T' needs of the whites there, we believe that Ion sooner or latter the territory of Hawaii win be sendlDg a Yankee delegate to Congress.
