The Hawaiian Treaty.
It was a prudent stroko on the) part
of the negotiators of the new Hawaiian
annexation treaty to omit from that In
strument tho pension which It was at
first proposed to bestow on ex-Queen
Lllluolcalanl. In the first place, she did
not need tho $20,000 a year offered to
Jior In tho Harrison-Foster treaty which
Cleveland and dresham, na soon as
they could, withdrew from the senate.
She Is already Independently rich in
her own light. Secondly, tho voting of
a pension to her, while conceived in a
spirit of put generosity, was open to
misconstruction.
Let us recall the facts. I-llluoUalanl
ncted In such a persistent bad faith
toward the rcsponslblo citizens of
Hawaii that after trying milder meas
ures to no purpose they flnully rebelled
and overthrew her throne. Then they
erected a republic and Instituted nu
merous reforms. Many sovereigns not
bo bad as Lllloukalanl have paid with
their lives tho penalty for Ignoring
popular Hunts, The only complaint
which Llliuokalanl can truthfully mako
Is that they kept her under nominal
restraint for a time. They took from
her nothing rightfully hers and did not
harm a hair on her head, hence a pen
sion under these circumstances would
have bordered on the grotesque
So far as LUIoukalanl or any of her
progeny are concerned, tho account
may well be considered closed. They
had their Innings In Hawaiian affairs
and failed to rise to their opportunity.
These democratic times do not stop to
wait on despots who have failed.
Neither do we consider that It Is any
concern of Japan, England or other
foreign country whether tho United
States shall annex Hawaii or not, pro
vided that the Immediate parties to tho
negotiation are willing that tho union
shall be consummated. If Hawaii is
now obligated to certain other nations
by treaties tho conditions of those con
tracts, in the event of annexation,
would naturally operate to bind tho
United States until such time as they
shall expire; but that Is all. Tho bans
of union, If union It Is to be, cannot be
forbidden on these slender grounds
The way Is clear for us to exercise our
pleasure in the premises.
There remains, of course, the broader
questlon.whcther wo want Hawaii, and
on tho negative of this side we find no
bettor arguments than that It Is not
connected with the mainland and that
It has, a mixed population whoso gov
ernment would give us trouble. In cer
tain Mugwump newspaper offices, al
though nowhero else, It seems there is
a belief that the United States must
not wet Its feet In territorial expansion,
and the proposition to annex Hawaii is
hailed as an abrupt reversal of this
tradition. May be it Is. Tho point Is
unimportant. Forelcn policy Is neces
sarily guided largely by conditions as
they arise. The whole Issue, In Its preo
tlcal bearings, revolves around the piv
otal question, "Would Hawaii as a fu
ture safecuard for American Interests
in the Pacific ocean be worth the
tioublc which it might temporarily
give us?" The reply which common
sense offers Is obvious.
The revival of History that Sena
tor Quay wants to serve one term as
governor and then retire from active
political strife may or may not be
based on substantial Information. But
one thing at least Is sure. Quay would
make a great governor.
The New Minister to Spain.
In selecting General Stewart h.
Woodford, of Brooklyn, as minister to
Spain, President McKlnley has chosen
most happily. General Woodford will
bring to this delicate office a wealth
of qualities such as will In all prob
nblllty bo needed In Madrid era many
weeks have passed.
To begin with. General Woodford Is
n diplomat by nature. He has for
years been one of tho two or three
leading peace-makers In Empire state
Republican politics. When the person
al ambitions of rival leaders clash so
fiercely ns to endanger party welfaro
or factionalism Bets tho pace that kills,
General Woodford Is one of thoso who
hy a, kind of unanimous consent are
expected to undertake tho mission of
pacification. His services to tho party
nnd' to tho country In this direction
havo not always been conspicuous on
tho surface, but as a matter of fact
they havo been very considerable, and
In them ho has shown strategy, diplom
acy, and a shrewd knowledgo of human
nature which will bo no less valuable
at the capital of Spain than they have
been at home. Moreover, as an Amer
ican, he Is sturdy, patriotic and firm.
Ha possesses that reserve forco of
character, that quiet decision, which
is often required In tho real work ot
diplomacy. He does not bluff and
bluster, but he Is all there. For cither
strategic manoeuverlng or heavy ar
tillery firing ho will, In our Judgment,
be found adequate to tho emergency.
In his fitness for the work likely to bo
iequlred of him tho piealdent car. re
pose the fullest confidence.
Naturally no new develonments In
relation to Cuba may be expected until
General Woodford shall havo time to
tamtllarlze himself with his new duties.
But the circumstances of his appoint
ment Indicate that the administration
lis now decided upon a definite policy,
kj U la a eafe guess that a man UKo
General Woodford would not have been
chosen as tho Instrument of Its promul
gation had the task selected for him
been one calculated to disappoint tho
best Judgment of tho country.
Any man who studies the ndmlnls
tratlon's Hawaiian policy closely will
bo In good Bhapo to forecast Us ulti
mate action toward Cuba. This Is evi
dently going to bo nn American ad
ministration. Undeserved Censure.
Tho passing breeze that has been
stirred up over the refusal of tho board
of control to allow tho high school
building to bo turned Into a banquet
hall for the Alumni seems to have Us
amusing features, tho most amusing,
probably, being tho solemnity with
which the lefusal Is regarded by many
of the students who havo giaduated
with moie or less honor In past years,
and who consequently appear to be
lieve that their achievements should
entitle them to recognition from the
school board, no matter what the na
ture of their request.
From a casual glance It might seem
that tho school board Is composed of
what the sweet girl graduate would
term a lot of "nasty, mean old things,"
and that tho closing of the school room
against the enterprlso that would bring
together wit, beauty, eloquenco and
good things to eat, was an act Indica
tive that tho board has no apprecia
tion of progress In high school work.
Hut after all, what particular claim has
tho high school alumni as nn organiza
tion upon the new building that Is the
pride of tho city? The society In tho
past has been nble to hold Itself to
gether and keep tho spirit of sociability
alive among Its members by holding
banquets In other localities, and there
seems no goud reason why the building
that has been erected for school pur
poses solely should be opened for their
enjoyment.
This may sound cold and prosaic, but
If wo examine the matter from a prac
tical standpoint It seems as If the school
board should bo commended rather
than censured.
This
year,
apparently Isn't Queen Lll'a
Common Sense.
The alleged Investigation of the so
called "coal trust," ordered by tho New
York state attorney general, has up to
this time lesulted and of course will
result In nothing practical, for the suf
ficient reason that there Is no coal trust
and no understanding among the lead
ers In tho trade that can by any dis
tortion be construed to bo a violation of
law. Thero Is a determination among
tho producers of coal to get a prlco
which will return a dollar, and If pos
sible, a trifle mora than a dollar for
each dollar spent: but this Is simply
business. It 13 what every man In
business has In mind; tho man who
operates on a different principle con
structs disaster.
Sensible advice on this subject Is of
fered In tho June circular of the Anth
racite Coal Operators- association to
persons willing to listen to common
sense. That valuable publication points
out a source of popular confusion In
tho Inability of many fluent denouncers
of the bugaboo "coal trust" to separato
the anthracite Industry Into Us com
ponent parts and to recognize that
these are entirely separate and dis
tinct. "Thero Is," says, "first, the min
ing and delivery of the coal on cars at
tho breaker; second, the transportation
of this coal to the distributing points,
nnd third, tho retail distribution to
consumers. The work rff mining In
volves heavy expenses and great risks.
The operators have Invested millions
of dollars In developing the mines and
erecting machinery to operate and pre
paro the coal for market. In the case
of serious accidents this Investment
may be entirely lost or, at least, re
quire further largo outlays to save tho
money already spent. And, when the
coal has all been removed from the
lands controlled by any operator, then
everything he has spent In opening the
mine, In Improvements and appliances,
Is absolutely lost, for thero Is nothing
left to show for It but a great cavity In
tho ground and some second hand ma
chinery. If, now, at the end of a year's
operations those who havo invested
this money and paid all the expenses of
mining the coal, find that they have
received less for their product than Us
actual cost, It assuredly would be an
unwise business policy to continue In
tho same manner.
"In the matters of transporting coal
and of delivery to the consumer there
Is much that Is worthy of searching In
vestigation and radical action. The
rate3 of freight charged on all sizes of
anthracite are gieatly In excess of
those paid on any other kind of bulky
freight, and, lu fact. In some cases
more than the rates on small miscel
laneous freight. Then, In the method
by which the coal Is handled for retail
distribution there Is a heavy expense,
much of which might be nvolded If a
better svstem was used. Stove coal,
for which the operator receives $2.30
per ton or 2,210 pounds, at tho mines,
sells In New York city to retail con
sumers for $4.00 per ton of 2,000 pounds,
of $3.40 per ton of 2.210 pounds. There
is a difference of $3,10 that is accounted
for In freights, commissions, selling ex
penses and profits. These are the fea
tures of tho coal trade that require ac
tion. Whatever chango thero may bo
In the selling price ot coal must come
through economies In its distribution
and not by trying to compel tho opera
tors to market their product for less
than It costs them to produco It."
Wo recognize tho improbability that
literature liko this will have any Jnfl
enco on demagogues except to make
them rant more fiercely, hut, to uso an
expressive colloquialism, "thero are
other pobbles on tho beach." Not ail
readers aro blind to common sense.
With $138,100,000 moro money in cir
culation in this country today than
there was a year ago it can hardly be
claimed that Undo Sam's ailment is a
money famine.
On n Better Oasis,
A pleasing indication that the Journ
alistic world is growing better Is found
in the fact that the premium business
has almost entirely disappeared from
reputable no'.tpaper circles, A few
years ago muny papers ot good stand-
lng and respectability were affected
by the price packago crate and honest
publisher!! were lod to bellevo that It
was necessary for them to offer some
sort of a premium with a, subscription
In order to keep their circulation up
when In competition with other pub
lishers who boomed the prtzo schemes.
In this way Immense quantities of Job
lot books and other articles of five-cent-countor-value
were worked off by
publishers, from markets that had been
glutted. In many Instances publishers
were tho victims ot misplaced confi
dence and In others reluctantly em
braced these schemes while laboring
under the Impression that It was neces
sary they should do so for Bclf-pro-tectlon.
I)ut things havo changed since these
condttlonsvcry gencrallyprevalled. One
nowadays seldom hears of the manager
or owner of a rcputablo newspaper of
fering premiums as an Inducement for
subscriptions. Tho public has been
made awaro of the fact that tho prem
ium plan so far as dally newspapers
aro concerned Is seldom Initiated ex
cept by Inferior papers that can offer
no other inducement. Those papers
which expend the equivalent of this ex
pense In Improvements on their own
columns como out best In tho long run,
no matter what the bluster which may
temporarily intervene.
It Isn't often that wo can agree on
party doctrine with a Democrat, but
we quite concur In Chairman Garman's
theory that the more voters he can
drive over Into the cnemy'8 camp tho
better.

Special Correspondence of The Tribune.
Washington, Juno It!.
A story Is afloat hero the Senator Quay
may decide to become a candidate for tho
gubernatlonal nomination next year.
Thero Is no doubt that he has had
nil tho honor which the state of Penn
sylvania can confer upon any of Us citi
zens except tho Chief Magistracy, and
with this additional honor Senator Quay
could retire from public llfct covered
with moro glory than any other man has
ever been In tho history of tho Common
wealth. Senator Quay Is no longer a young
man, and It la not only his own desire,
but also that of his family and close per
sonal friends, that he withdraw from ac
tive politics and rpend the remainder of
his days in prlvato life. To complete his
remarkablo Dolltlcal career with tho
chief magistracy at his native state
would bo tho crowning event of hli life.
His friends aro particularly anxious to
havo Mr. Quay enter the gubernatorial
race. Ho has tho Republican organiza
tion so well In hand that ho would havo
no trouble In securing the nomination.
He could havo It for tho asking.
Slnco ho came to the United States sen
ate. Colonel Quay haB worked much
harder than tho avcrago man In that
body. It Is not only tho work In the
senato that has told upon his physical
condition, but the constant strain and
annoyance of wrestling with ofllce seek
ers that has had tho effect of breaking
his health. Nobody not familiar with
this sort of work has any Idea of tho
worry attached to It. That Is why so
many presidents break down. It Is harder
work than breaking stono on tho street,
for the reason that the man who does tho
latter has not only rest of body but also
of mind at tho end of his eight or ten
hours' labor. Men like Senator Quay,
however, have ltttlo or no rest at all.
That Is tho principal reason for tho
friends of tho senator being solicitous
of his early retirement from public life.
A four years' term as governor, while
It would not bo absolute rest, would bo
tin easy and eradual outlet for Senator
Quay from active polities.
Another reason given for Senator
Quay's gubernatorial aspirations next
year Is that so many of his political
friends will bo candidates for tho nom
ination that It would bo difficult for him
to choose between them. It will bo par
allel to the stato chairmanship light of
last year, when two of tho senator's
friends John P. Elklns and Frank Wil
ling Leach were candidates. Tho con
test became so bitter that In order to
prevent 111 feeling among tho supporters
of tioth claimants, Senator Quay an
nounced his candidacy, and was unani
mously chosen. Tho contest for the gub
ernatorial nomination next year may as
sume tho samo phase, and in order to
restoro harmony In tho ranks of his
friends Senator Quay may bo forced to
become a candidate.
It Is believed that all tho candidates
for tho Republican gubernatorial nomin
ation aro willing to acquiesce In Senator
Quay's candidacy, as they concede that
without his support neither of them can
bo nominated.
It Is generally conceded by Pennsylvanl
ans In Washington that James S. Beaeom.
ot Westmoreland, will be unanimously
nominated for stato treasurer this year.
There Is yet some doubt, however, as to
who will capture tho nomination for
auditor general. Stato Senator Harden
bergh. of Wayne, and Major McCauley,
of Chester, are tho leading candidates for
that honor. Of couise, much, if not all,
depends upon what Senator Quay says.
The Wayne county statesman has never
wavered In his support of Senator Quay
from the day ho entered politics down to
tho present time, and his friends here
think that for that reason he should he
rowarded, and will urge Senator Quay to
put him on tho slate. Major McCauley's
friends aro also putting In their best licks
for him, and are confident their labors
will not be In vain. Senator Quay, as far
as known here, has not Indicated his
preference for tho auditor generalship.
If tho fight between Ilardenbcrgh and Mc
Cauley becomes too warm It Is more than
likely that Senator Quay will select a
comprorrlso candidate. The woods are
full of good timber, and It ought not to
be a dimcult tatk to select an available
candidate.
Tho Democratlo congressmen are al
ready figuring on an Increased number of
representatives In the house from Penn
sylvania, next year. They fully expenct
eight members of their faith In tho next
congress. They aro counting on capturing
tho Eighth. Twetfth, Thirteenth ana
Twenty-eighth districts, and possibly ths
Twenty-sixth, together with tho three
they now hve tho Third, Ninth and
Nineteenth. Judging from the big Ho.
publican majorities In somo of the abovo
districts last fall It Is difficult to sco upon
what ground the Democrats build their
hope. Tho present member from the
Twelfth district, Mr. Williams, was oloet
ed by 3.000 majority, and Mr. Ilrumm, of
the Thliteenth district, had a majority ot
2,100 over his Democratlo opponent. Mr.
Kulp, In the Seventeenth district, led his
Democratic rival by moro than 1,000, and
so did Mr, Arnold In tho Twenty-eighth
district. In the Twenty-sixth district,
whore Jos Sibley was the Democratic
PopuIIstlo candidate, Mr. Sturtevant, Re
publican, won by over 700 majority. The
Eighth district contest was the closest
ot all, tho Republican, Mr, Klrkpatrlck,
pulling through by a ltttlo over 300 ma
jority. That dtbtrlct, however, has been
Democratlo for many years, and may
again be found In that column, as the
defeat of the Democratlo candidate was
due largely to disaffection In his own
party. Tho Nineteenth district was also
Democratlo for many years, but It can
hardly be longer considered as certain,
Tho unpopularity of the Republican can
didate last year was mainly responsible
for tho Democrat' election, who pulled
through by less than eOd majority,

TUG DIAMOND KINO.
Vrom tho Post-Express.
Tho death of llarnott Isaacs, better
known as Harney Barnata, tho "diamond
king," ends a singularly romantic nnd, In
some respects, fascinating career. It s
but threo or four years ego that this re
markable being, a John Law In the bub

dazzling into tho life and business of
tiii.lnn rLnM It. -Hfi flB rCDUtOd. POB-

empire, marvelous In Us lesources,
and holding in its recesses tho promlso
ot untold millions. Rarnato reached Eng
land on the crest of tho South African
tidal wave, and by hl audacity and a
certain charm of manner bore everything
before him. Ho was Teputcd to con"01
properties yielding a revenue of $2j,000,
000 a year, paying this on a capital or
$20,000,000. Ho placed his shares upon the
stock market, and they went up and up
on tho board, as tho mercury In a barom
eter In tho summer solstice. A fever of
speculation ensued, similar to that ot tho
South sea excitement. Prices rose by
tho tick of tho watch. Fortunes were
piled upon fortunes, in securities. Every
body was getting richer. The name of
Darnato wan one to conjure with. Ho
was a Foitunatus scattering gold as ho
wa'kcd and the Incense of adulation was
In every breath ho took.
Suddenly camo tho collapse. Prices
tumbled. Tho fever had spent Us force.
The Inevitable reaction and weakness en
sued. Fortunes vanished as quickly as
they had boon exhaled. Barnato was ex
ecrated In tho places where ho had been
lauded, and even his own riches dimin
ished, If they did not dwindle to nothing
ness. Ills reign was over. His day was

He bullded a mansion In Mafalr, the
stateliest of Us kind, and essayed tho
role of a nrlnco of hospitality. Society
did not, however, tako kindly to him.
He was blackballed by tho clubs the doors
of which cannot always be unlocked with
golden keys. His origin was questioned,
but, moro than that, his honesty was as
sailed, especially as fortune began to
turn agajnst him, but ho was seen clear
ly to be the possessor of somo qualities
which revealed a man of great forco of
character.
TVho wis ho? Tho story Is briefly told.
Ho was an English Jow, born In London
nearly forty-five years ago. Ho Is said
to havo had a good education at tho
hands of private tutors. Ho tried a com
mercial career at home, but In 1673 ho
sailed for South Africa, Intent on a llfo
of adventuro and speculation. Within
threo years he owned damond mines In
tho neighborhood of Klmberley, which
five years later he sold for $375,000. Ho
kept buying, however, and, profiting by
a period of depression, ho accumulated
largo properties at small figures. Ills
wealth becamo colossal, and with It his
influence. He Joined hands with Cecil
Rhodes In various enterprises and, when
the tlmo was ripe, returned to England
for tho cplsodo wo havo sketched. Ho
still, wo believe, maintained a London
residence and was going thither when on
tho voyago ho committed suicide, under
circumstances that Indicate that his mind
was unhinged. Tho story Is a curous one,
but wo aro not awaro that It has any
moral significance. Tho man was bold
and smart and, doubtless, unscrupulous.
Ho has left dupes and victims behind him,
and, upon tho whole, tho world Is no bet
ter because of his having lived In it.

Bryan slll bases his hope for political
success upon his capacity for talking. A
correspondentattho national capital sends
out his report: "A few days ago Mr.
Bryan visited In Washington the owner

him last year. 'Do you know, Mr. Bryan,'
said tho newspaper proprietor, 'that you

gust?' Mr. Bryan raised tho outstretched
hand of tho newspaper man to his square
chin and angular Jaw. 'Feel that,", said
tho leader calmly, 'and tell mo whether
