WE WERE ONCE IMPERIALISTS When it Democratic A«lni i n I*l rnt lou \\ UM iu Control itt M'ufch luKton. The bill introduced in the Hawaiian legislature to pension former Queen Liliuokalaui recalls opportunely the only attempt of an Ameriean adminis tration to enforce an imperial policy. There was a revolution in Hawaii in 1802, the outcome of which was the overthrow of Queen Liliuokalani and the monarchy, the establishment of a provisional government, and the nego tiation of a treaty of annexation with the United States, in which the suc cessful revolutionary party asked for an immediate American protectorate and for prompt annexation. The treaty of annexation was before the senate, with strong probability of ratification, when it was withdrawn by President Cleveland, March 0, 1893. The president sent a special commis sioner to Hawaii, who withdrew the protection of the United States from the provisional government, hauled down the American flag, and presented the ultimatum of the Clevelaml admin istration to the effect that President Dole and his associates should sur render the government to the deposed queen and tht.t the monarchy in all its functions should be restored. This was democratic policy. Mr. Blount, and afterward Mr. Willis, as representatives of the United States, made attempts to enforce this policy of restoring a monarchy. Threats were resorted to to compel President Dole, of the Hawaiian republic, to consent to the restoration of the queen. He declined to do so and for months the government of the United States stood in an attitude of active hostility toward a people asking for protection and annexation. The situation became so strained that President Cleveland finally re ferred the whole matter to congress, recommending, however, that the restoration of the monarchy he in sisted upon. The democrats of the house voted to sustain the president. Many of the most influential demo crats in the senate declined to do so, and it was only upon the accession of a republican president that Hawaii was annexed. Had the democratic policy prevailed. Hawaii would not now be a part of the United States. So long as President Cleveland was in power t here was dan ger of civil war in Hawaii because of intrigues among the natives, based on the president's avowed friendship for the deposed queen, lint under a re publican administration Hawaii was annexed, a territorial government was organized, and the islands, under the American system, have made great progress in education, in agriculture, and in commerce. The people have a government under which they enjoy the same rights and privileges as American citizens. An American goingf from San Francisco westward feels, when lie steps ashore at Honolulu, that he is on American soil. Eight years ago England, Ger many and Japan each contemplated taking possession of the Hawaiian is lands, thus despoiling the United States of its strongest outpost in the Pacific. Now no foreign power ques tions! the sovereignty of the United States in Hawaii. This has been ac complished, not under the imperial policy of President Cleveland, but by encouragement to republican institu tions in Hawaii under President Me- Kinley.- Chicago Inter Ocean. ISLANDS BELONG TO US. Vl'liy Hie I nitril State* IIIIMI Itctnin Control in tlie Arclii peiitKO. President McKinley, in sending Ad miral Dewey to capture or destroy the Spanish fleet in the Philippines,had no intention of acquiring that archipel ago for tin" United States. He merely sought to make war most effectively on Spain. Nor when Admiral Dewey, having no other port open to him in that part of the world, and having shattered the only sovereignty there was in the Philippines, remained in Ma nila harbor, was there any intention on the part of the president to take even the city of Manila as a permanent possession. The Philippines had not been in bis scheme of action any more than they had been in the thought of the country. It was a providence, or an accident, according to the point of view, that the most striking victory of the war came at the most unex pected point and time, and with the most unexpected consequences. But events marched fast from May until September, when Secretary Day and the other members of the peace com mission went to Paris to negotiate the treaty of peace with the repre sentatives of Spain; and by that time it was evident that, for our own inter est in the east, and for the protection of those who had trusted us in partic ular. and of all the inhabitants of the Philippines in general, we must re main in the archipelago.— Henry B.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1901. DONE BY MISCHIEF-MAKERS. Enemies of Hip Ad ill In Int rn < lon Who Sttii'cil l p UiiK'oiitrnt lu the Island. For a long time it has been evident that the discontent existing in Cuba has been fostered by outsiders whose apparent purpose has been to stir up trouble between the embryo republic and the United States. English resi dents of the island have been accused of thus acting as mischief-makers.but their power is limited and thi mischief they could do single-handed would not be very serious. Unfortunately they have received cooperation from other outsiders, including not a few Ameri cans who place partisanship above patriotism and who care not how much harm they may do their own country if they only succeed in putting the ad ministration "in a hole." John Kend rick Hangs, writing from Havana to Harper's Weekly, says:"The alleged discontent of Cubans with American rule grows out of conditions in Hie United States rather than in Cuba, and is not only to a great degree of the imported variety, but 1 fully believe is incited by men who have come here for the deliberate purpose of finding things to cavil at in the administration of Cuban affairs, as well as by men who have endeavored unsuccessfully to dominate the governor general, and have received scant consideration at his hands." This statement is in line with other information received from Havana and other Cuban cities. The large majority of Cubans, including pretty nearly all » 112 the conservative element realize that Cuba owes an enormous debt to the United States, compared to which ♦he requests made by the American government are modest and moderate. They are inclined to grant these re quests and would probably easily per suade the more radical element to their way of thinking were it not for the mischief-makers, both in Cuba and •n this country. It is being urged up on the Cubans that as a matter of fact they owe nothing in particular to the United States. After awhile they may begin to accept this view, if the ma jority of the former revolutionists who exercise complete control over the constitutional convention do not think so already. If the result of the pres ent negotiations shall prove to be the lejeetion of the requests practically made in the Piatt resolution the blame may be safely laid at the doors of the inischief-innkers.—'Troy Times. SILVER REPUBLICANS LEFT. Colorado and \evada the Only Mate* \\ here Their Organization llrinutißH. There has been another and con i hiding break in the ranks of the only American political party which has the record of never having run a ticket of its own fur any oflice in any state the silver republicans. The silver re publicans of Idaho have formally dis banded, and an address has been issued advising the members of the party to affiliate with the democrats. The silver republican party was or ganized at Manitcm, Col., in July, 1800. Its executive committee included Sen ators 11. M. Teller, Fred T. Dubois and l.ee .Mantle, and Congressmen Charles S. Hart pian. Kdgar Wilson and John F. Shafrofh. Subsequently the silver party held a national convention at St. Louis in July, IS'.iti. Congressman N'ewlands, of Nevada, was the tem porary, and Charles A. Towne, then a congressman and since for a brief time a United States senator, was the per manent chairman. Gen. A. J. Warner, of Ohio, a former congressman, of fered the resolutions, and John P. Jones, senator from Nevada, read them. A poll to ascertain the previous po litical affiliations of the delegates pre tended to show 496 republicans, 135 democrats, 47 populists, 12 independ ents, nine prohibitionists, one nation alist, and one greenbaeker, represent ing in all 25 states. Twen' / states were wholly unrepresented. The silverites ran no ticket in any state, allying themselves with the democrats in some and with the pop ulists in others, and with the demo crats and populists in a few states. They received meager representation on fusion electoral tickets in the west, but none in the east or south. Before 1900 they had disbanded in most states, since January 1 they have disbanded in the others, Colorado and Nevada ex cepted.—N. Y. Sun.

Thf Filipino < blet" lit Brought to .Manila on Board a I nlKil Mulrn Gunboat Flan Followed by Funxton lu :?luklii!T the Cap lure Showed 'I iii b tunning. Manila, March 23.—Gen. Frederick Funston's daring project for the cap ture of Aguinaldo in his hiding place in the province of Isabella, island of Luzon, has proved completely suc cessful. Aguinaldo was captured there March 23. The United States gunboat Yicks burg, with Gen. Funston and Agui naldo on board, arrived here this morning. The province of Isabella, where the capture of Aguinaldo occurred, is on the island of Luzon about 200 miles northeast of Manila, and about 75 miles north of Baler, on the eastern coast, which place was made memor able by the capture of Lieut. <■ il more and his party from the gunboat Yorktown in April, 15'.19. Isabella province is wild and mountainous, especially along the coast where the liigli range extends for 100 miles or more, the highest point of the range being but a few miles from the shore. Bugged trails in some places but a foot or two in width lead across the mountains, frequently crossed by rushing streams, and where these overflow their banks the trails are waist deep in mud. It was to this uninviting district that. (Jen. Funston and his small band went, a short time ago. It was a part of the island that had never before been vis ited by American troops. Gen. Funston's plans as outlined in a dispatch from Manila a few days I ago were to make the trip over tiie mountains to Aguinaldo's hiding place accompanied only by Surgeon Major Harris, Capt. Newton, of the Thirty-fourth infantry, Lieut. Ad mire. of the Twenty-second infantry; Lieut. Mitchell, of the Fortieth infan try; six veteran scouts and a com pany of native scouts, all picked men. They were to be landed by the gun boat Yieksburg on a remote beach north of Baler and were to proceed overland guided by a former officer of Aguinaldo, who had betrayed to Funston the Filipino leader's abode. To deceive the enemy it was ar ranged that Aguinaldo's representa tive, who had given the information to the Americans, should lead the na tive scouts and assume the character of insurgents still loyal to the rebel cause. They were to make it appear that they had captured Gen. Funston and other American officers of high rank and were taking them into the camp of the insurgent chief to be delivered as prisoners of war. Then was to come the daring part of the plan. The pretended prison ers were to throw aside their as sumed characters and seize Aguinal do. beat down any opposition that might show itself, and hold their prisoner, no matter how great the peril or how great the forces of the enemy. To carry out the programme re quired a long march into tiie interior, and never-ceasing caution to guard against treachery. Washington, March 28. —The cap ture of Aguinaldo will be a source of | great satisfaction to the president : and his advisers. Coining so soon after the surrenders reported by Gen. Mac Arthur of prominent Filipino offi cers and the successful establishment I of civil local government, by the Taft commission, they feel that the end of the rebellious warfare in the islands i is near at hand. The disposition of Aguinaldo now that he has been apprehended will be an interesting subject for the admin istration to determine. The possi bility of his capture at any time al ways has been kept in view and that of his future has been a matter of informal discussion by the officials here. It is not believed, however that any definite line of action was ever determined upon in regard to the matter. The attitude of the gov ernment for a long time past has been one of comparative indifference to Aguinaldo's capture, it. having been determined to crush 1 lie rebel lion without regaitl to his where abouts. Bis recent activity in di recting the operations against the I American forces probably brought j about the recent change in this atti tude. Smallpox at Den Moines. Des Moines, la., March 28.—Mayor Hartenbower has issued a proclama tion requesting that all public schools, theatres and churches and other places of public assembly be closed on account of the prevalence of smallpox. The disease is spread ing. There are at least 200 cases in Des Moines now. All the cases are in mild form and no deaths have oc curred. Princeton Inn in Debate. New Haven, Conn., March 28. Princeton last, night won the annual debate wit'i Vale.

Chicago, March 28. —According to City Boiler Inspector Schlaek, who testified yesterday at the investiga tion of the Doremus laundry explo sion, which resulted in the killing and injuring of over 50 people, the boiler of that establishment had not been inspected during his term of office, or since March, IS9!>. The reason for this, he said, was a clerical error. George Ballard, a stationary engi neer, created a sensation by stating that during his 30 years' experience he had not seen one boiler or en gine honestly inspected in Chicago. TO FOUND AMERICAN COLLEGE. I»r. Jclllll, of Indianapolis, Will F»- t.ihliKli liiKtmnluii of Learning In JtloJidiiraa. ltcv. Dr. Joseph S. Jen Us, formerly reotor of St. Paul's Episcopal church at Indianapolis, and connected at one time with Uriswold college in Indf :111a, left New Orleans the other day with a faculty of teachers and instru ments', apparatus and supplies for fie establishment of an American college for girls at Santa Cru/.e de Yojoa, Honduras. Four years ago Dr. Jenks visited Honduras on a pleasure trip, when he found that all the better ela.ss of natives wanted their girl* to be given an American education and taught the Knglish language, believing that it was the destiny of the country to become some day apart of the United States. Upon the solicitation of leading citi zens of Honduras, including two former presidents:, Dr. Jenks was in duced to open a school at Santa Crime. The idea of an American edu cation has so spread since then that 2S ric.h Hondureans have subscribed enough to build an American college for girls, the balance necessary for the operation being given by the gov ernment.

The late Aaron Dennison was called "the father of American watch mak ing.'' He was interested in his work, because he hoped thereby to benefit his fellow men. Often he worked late into the night, so late that his loving wife would go and beg him to "wait, until to-morrow." One night she said to him: "Are you not going to bed at all? What are you doing?" And he turned and slowly answered: "I am trying to make it possible for every poor man to have a watch" —a result which lie very nearly accomplished.—Youth's Companion. fit 11 To mtu'N Treasure*, The California Miners' association lias recently published a treatise on the mineral wealth of that state which brings out some facts that are not generally known. Gold, of course, holds the lead, but it will probably surprise many to learn that the value of the quicksilver annually produced in California is 50 per cent, greater than tiie value of the silver found there, and that even the petroleum output of the state exceeds the silver production in value. Copper and borax rank among the important minerals of California. n. is. D.
