of the navy's work In the war nnrrat

Senator Morgan, of Alabama, has
been invited to speuk nt the banquet
which the Haltlmoio society will give
on the otenslon of Dreyfus' "evoncra
tlon mill complete vindication by tho
court of cassation." Unfortunately for
these enthusiasts the court of cassa
tion has neither tho power nor the
Jurisdiction to economic or vindicate
Drejfus. it can revise his sentence, re
call him, and demand another trial, but
that Is ns far as It can go. Thero Is
not the slightest probability that Drey
fus will be vindicated or exonerated in
the sense In which the foolish propa
gandists of Ualtlmore anticipate. Drey
fus will be brought back to France and
liberated, hlle the world will vindi
cate him as best It mny without the
aid of the French War department or
the mint of eastutluii. This ould
be the ordlnniy cotuse. Hut If tho
echo of such an agitation as that
set on foot in Haltlmote roaches France,
as of couise It IU, It may arouse the
subsiding paslons of Fienchmen, and
Drefus again may bid farewell to lib
erty. That Is the danger, ithoiit a
shadow ot tangible tompeiisatlon. The
name of Senator Morgan coupled with
such an undertaking ould give It an
odlclnt sanction In the eyei or the
I'lencli people hlch would Indlssolu

The Territoiy of Hawaii.
The announcement Is made that the
commission which was appointed by
thu pitsldent to recommend a foim of
government for the Hawaiian Islands
at. .1 pan of the United States lias
agreed unoti the main features of lt
icpoit and that it will advise a lcgular
tonitoilal fm in of government, with a
governor, a delegate In congiess and a
legWlatuie. Tlie legislature will be
elected by the qualified oters of the
Island, but there will be piopeity and
educational qualifications Imposed on
thocc who ote for membeis of the
unper house of the legislature. The
franchise M not be extended to the
Japanese or Chlnesp in tho island, but
the Poitugucse w become citizens
will not be excluded under the icstilc
tlons imposed. Tile s stein of import
ing labmeis into Hawaii under eon
ti.ut will be abolished; the experiment
of employing white labor In plantation
woilc will be tried.
Tlie form of government thus pro
posed for Hawaii does not necessarily
Ii,ie any healing uion tlie problem of
go fining the Islands won fiom Spain
in tlie AVest and Hast Indies. It is to
lie lemembeied that the people of Ha
waii are alieady living under a ell
established and thoroughly organized
lepubllcan form of government hlch,
as ore of them wiltef, W "the out
giowtli of long expei lence and wise ile
llbei.itlon." Their "political and social
sstem Is thoroughly American," and
does not lequire to be assimilated. This
writer, a Honolulu contilbutor to the
Washington Star, takes pains to em
phasise tills point. "Occasional articles
appear in your papers," sas he, "which
indWirlmlnatelv lump together Hawaii
and other expected acquisitions of ter
iltory, such as Porto Itlco and the Phil
ippines, as all calling for similar deal
ing. This Is totally enoneous. Hawaii
has been for eighty ears under Ameri
can influences, and has become thor
oughly Americanized. All the leading
and ronti oiling elements In Hawaii are
eomplttely Ameiican. The daily news
papers are all thoioughly American.
The sihools are all Ameilcnn.and eveiy
child and outh In the group Is le
qulied to be taught In the nngllsh lan
guage, with Ameiican school books.
The churches anil the courts are all
Ameiican In form. Thus Hawaii Is not
a community lequlilng, like Porto Itlco,
u long couise of AmeilianUntlon before
being safely tieated as nn American
tenitoiy. Ameilcaulsm has become
uatuiallzed in Haw nil, and the people
largely assimilated thereto. There in e,
of touise, limitations anil qualifications
to such a statement. So thero would
be n a similar statement about Musa
ihusetts, as In the case of the French
Cunadlan elenunt Uta in both places
tlie elements whlih aie partially 01 not
at all Ameilcanlzed nie not influential.
They me dependent elementc ot socl

the tone of society or the conduct of
ntfniis. In dealing with Hawaii, con
gicss has to deal with a thoroughly
Ametlcnn tenltory, for which no paral
lel exists in Poito Itlio or other prob
able appendages to the United States."
It is tho belief ot many Ameilcans
that Porto Itito 111 Ameilcanlze ery
l.ipldlv; that with fiee schools Insti
tuted there nnd teaching Hnglish lan
guage and Anglo-Saxon principles, nnd
with American capital opening up new
souices of wealth, It Ill be not longer
than a generation befoie that snug
little Island will bo ready for a gov
ernment such as Is now pioposcil for
Hawaii. This, however, Is a matter for
the futuio. In all the teirltory wrested
from Spain the Immediate pioblcm Is
not id much political In chnrotter as
It is economic. When tho Inhabitants
of those Islands are taught to woik
and to sue, and aie glen oppoitunlty
to do both, it will not be difficult to
provide them with a satisfactory form
of government. Tho bane of Spanish
rule eci where bus been that It utter
ly Ignored the civilizing value of a con
tented and ptospeious laboring class.
