Secretin y ot State .lolm W. Koster;
In tho changed relations existing In the
Paclllc Ocean. It Is plain to the olwerv
nut sUUe.'nmu that Hawaii eniinot inueli
loiiKer mnlntaln Itnelf n an Iwlrpenilrnt
nation. AM'lo tiom the temptation which
It olTcis to tho nations luntcnilhiK for su
premacy 111 the Puclllc, It poses.m
within Itself the elements which threat
en th los of Its Independence. The am
luhlo mill peaceable Unvvnllans and the
tin If ty Portuguese, whose fatherland 1J
so far uwny, cause no fear to the pres
ent nilers. Hut the Asiatics, whoso coun
tries uie so near, aie n source or gieat
nnxlety. The t'liliune and Jupatieso now
M'llbel about 10 per cent of the popula
tion, und uie nlreml) more than halt ot
the mule Inhabitants, and the Japanese
have doubled their iiumbet In the lust
six rjis, ami they continue to come In
Iner.'uslng nuiiibUJ.
In this view Ah. Foster Is ubundaiitly
sustained. Adiuiial Amtiieu. who is
thoiotighly familiar with the political
conditions of the Pacltic, In a letter
to a Ooimresslonal committee In 1S90
wiote: "It does not requite a ptophet
to foieseethat those Islands lu the
near fin tin e wll be elthei Anieikan m
Jaiianese." General rtfliulteld. who was
sent by the piesldent some ,eais ago
to make a caieful study of the Islands,
tepoited lu 1S75 that they have not,
and never inn have, the powei to main
tain their own netitiallty, and now
thelt necessities foice them to heel;
ulllauce with Fome nation which inn re.
Ileve their embariifsmeiit." This tes
timony Is utilfoim among atmlents of
the Not th I'aeillc piohlcui and It tal.ses
the point whether the United States
can as a matter of policy affonl to per
mit this Invaluable strategic point In
the mld-I'acillc to pass fiom Its con
tiol. 1'lfty yeais ago Ml. Seward piedlcted
that the raclfle ocean. Its shoies, Its
Islands and the vast legions bejond,
would become "the chief theater of
events In the woild's gteat heieatter."
Tills piophecy is fast neailng ltallza
tlon. Of such a theater the Hawaiian
Islands are destined by natuie and
commercial position to be, as It weie,
the tenter of the stage. The pilvllege
Is ours to occupy this central aiea. The
government and conti oiling people of
Hawaii deslie to become n p.ut of the
Ameilcan lepubllc. They have enacted
Into their constitution that annexa
tion with the 1'nlted States shall at
any time be a legal supplement to the
piesent older of things and they have
sent icpiesentatlves to Washington
to knock at the dooi of congiess. We
need not, thetefore, seize that which
would be a discontented piovlnce but
simply accept a gift which destiny lias
placed within our teach. In the opinion
of that statesmanship which looks to
the future, the annexation of Hawaii
Is a necessaiy duty ot American government.

Captain Dutton, of the United States
m my, who has made a ciltlcal study
of these islands, sas that In vvllduess
and grandeur .they far surpass all the
other Islands ot tho Pacific; that goiges

The Railway Problem.
A few fundamental facts need to be
ke.pt In mind by congiessmen and otli
eis Interested In the Supieme court's
decision declailng lallvvay combina
tions Illegal, They aie:
(1). It Is not to the advantage of the
public that the business of the lallways
should be made uupiolltable. That law
vvhkli foicos loss upon any legitimate
enteipiise within the bounds of Its nat
uial lights Is unjust; that condition
which does this is Intolerable.
(2). Ai) agieemtnt among railroads
which, within leason, equalizes freight
and passenger rhaiges but doea not ar
bltiatlly Increase them Is unobjection
able In fact und should be legalized,
as an alternative against piomlscuous
late-cutting; lank disci Iminatloii for
which the shipper and the shbp-keeper
have noiediess; enfoiceel economies in
opeiatlon, and a geneuil demoiallzatlou
of ttade.
(3). But the power to decide when a
"pool" Is piejudklal to the public In
tel est should lest with the govern
ment, and not with the talliouds.
A bill embodying these pilnciples Is
now befoie iimgiess, having been In-
ttouueeu by Senator 1 oiaker as an
amendment to the Intel state commerce
law. It Vests lu the intetstate com
luetee commission autlioiltv sulllcleut
to pioteet the public, but legalizes pool
ing within the bounds ot equity. The
measuie does not have the enthusias
tic suppoit of tho uillioads, for thu
leason that they would lather not see
too much authuiity given to the com
meice commission; but Us main pui
pose lecelves the asent ot the mote
btoad-gauged lailway manage! s and
It ceitalnly met Its the suppoit of fall -minded
citizens geneially.
The lailway business In this count! y
may pioierly be teguluted'by law to
prevent manifest abuses, but It can
not be ctlpilled without sending im
mediate Injuiy thioughout the com
monwealth. Those pei sons who wish
to see pilvnte owneishlp of uillioads
dlscouiaged by adv else and Inequitable
legislation fotget that while such leg
islation may pinch the lallroads, It is
at the same time huitful to the whole
body politic. Now that the powei of
the gov ei nun nt ovei combinations In
tiade Is established beond question,
let It employ that power, not lashly
and with unconcern for the conse
quences, but cniefully, Judiciously and
with constant legaid for the best In

Pennsylvania In the last congiess hail
as jjood committee iepieentutlon us any
othei state Several members of that
body wue not re-elected, and for that
leason many i hanges will necessarll be
the lesult. John Dalzell, who has seived
with distinction on the wns und means
committee for several years, has been le
nppoluted to that committee, as well as to
his old place on the committee on ruice.
("ieneinl JJIiiehnm, in the last congress,
ranked second on the committee on ap
piopilatlons He bus made a very cred
itable record, and will be leappolntel.
Colonel Stone, of Allegheny, has been a
member of both the appioprlatlons nnd
Judicial y committees, seivlng In the last
congiess ot the foimcr committee He
expects a reappointment. O. . Stone, of
Vt'aircn, who was chairman ot the com
mittee on coinage, weights nnd measuies
In the Plfty-fourth congiess, has been
slated b Speuker lteed for unother term
as head of that committee. The house
gossips ate busy discussing the leport
that the speaker will not put old "Sil
ver Dollai" Dick Bland on the coinage
committee, wheie his talents as a fice
coinage agitator weie given such wide
range In previous congresses. The spec
tacle of Bland us a member of the com
mittee on war claims or. Indeed, as a
member of any other committee of tho
houe than that of coinage, weights and
measuies will be, to say the least, a
ver.v unusual one.
Adams, who Is Pennsylvania's diplomat
in the house, Is down on Heed's slato
for reappointment to a place on the com
mittee on foielgu affairs. Hut, of Il
linois, has been chairman ot that commit
tee with General Draper, of Massachu
setts, the second member and Adams
the thlul General Draper was not re
elected, and has been appointed ambas
sador to Itai. If Heed follows pieced
ent, and theie Is every reason to expect
that he will, Adams will become second
lu rank to the dial! man. Arnold, of the
Clearfield distilct, who was a membet ot
the Paclllc tallioads committee, will like
ly be allowed to stay there Codding, of
the Bradfoid-Susqiuhannu distilct. In the
last congress, was on the committer on
eleetions No 3. Johnson, ot Indiana,
was chaliman or the committee, und
Codding was one of Its moat active mem-
bets There ate compaiatlvely few con
tests in this congiess, and It is undei
stood that Heed, Instead of appointing
tjuee committees on elections, as was the
cuse in the last house, will appoint but
one. Codding will be a member of this
coinmlttte Urumm will likely get his old
chaltiuaushlp of the committee on claims.
Acheson, who was veiy much dissatis
fied with his committee appointments lajt
congiess, Is mnkluif an effoit to get
Beyburn's place, on tho committee on
ilveis and huibors, one of the most ini
poitnut committees of the house. Penn
sylvania has had a place on this com
mittee for several eais, the lute Col

membet of It, and us Acheson seems to
be the only candidate, he will likely get
