Annexation !
Queen Lilinokalani, of Hawaii, was
dethroned on January 10 by revolution-
ists, who established a Provisional
Government; the new Government was
promptly recognized by all the Powers
excepting England; Commissioners
representing" it were dispatched to
Washington to ask for annexation, and
this notion is now confronted with the
grave and perplexing problem of
Sandwich Islands annexation. The
New York Sun says, “well, let them
Crime in,” and continues, “Where else
could their people wish to go ? Where
else could they find safety and the hope
of liberty and progress?
We don’t suppose there will be any
difficulty in the way of arranging prop-
er terms for-the admission of the wel-
come applicants. The State of Hawaii
may thus be the first independent for-
eign country to be annexed to the
American Union;and we dare say it
will not be the last.
And how long will it be before the
nations east of the Atlantic and north
of the Mediterranean become weary of
the state of armed hostility and sus-
pended warfare in which they live, and
resolve to end it by joining together in
the confederation of the United States
of Europe?”
The Tribune Says that “Whatever
maybe the resolution our Govern-
ment forms in the impending applica-
tion, its significance as a precedent
will be apparent to all the islands
south of us and to every European
Cabinet that thinks itself concerned in
the political relations of the States and
and dependencies near our borders. It
has been apparent for half a century
that the circumstances would inevita-
bly arise, and might arise at any mo-
ment, their occurence being depend-
ent on forces and conditions quite be-
yond our control, When a specific dec-
laration of our purposes as to ultrama-
rine jurisdiction could be no longer
avoided. And yet, so reluctant have
been our people and their successive
Administrations to anticipate such an
occasion, that the arrival of these Ha-
waiian delegates with express proposals
of annexation finds American public
sentiment but slightly crystallized and
amajority of our public men dOubt-
less still inclined toward the tradi-
tional view, which prefers that our in-
fluence over the islands in either
ocean to be exerted through native
Governments rather by protectorates
or a closer union.
From the high character of the Ha-
waiian delegation not less than from
the” acute situation at Honolulu, it is
clear that our treatment of the ques-
tion presented to us must be full, frank
and prompt. The authority of the
Queen has been completely over-
thrown. The Provisional President,
Justice Dole, is well known in this
country as a man of influence at home.
of learning and authority, whose posi-
tion against royal usurpation has been
always firm and generally effective.
The revolution was invited by the fa.
natical follies and excesses of Queen
Liliuokalani. It does not seem to have
been opposed by any formidable force,
and the government evolved from it is
conducting the "task of administration
with the evident approval of the public. .
Not less significant is the fact that the
revolutionary forces know precisely
what they want and agree in a formal
and explicit statement of it. Their
Commissioners to us have been chosen
from among their ablest and most in-
fluential citizens, two of whom have
been Prime Ministers and Presidents
of the-General Assembly.
The United States can never consent
to let its influence in the Hawaiian
Islands be second to that of any other
Power. Mr. Webster, Mr. Marcy, Mr.
Seward, Mr. Evarts and Mr. Blaine
have each in turn addressed European
Cabinets in phrases which placed us in
the position of a protectorate Power,
and plainly expressed our purpose to
resist and prevent the exercise of any
foreign influence in the islands superior
to or at variance with our own. We
have admitted Hawaii to commercial
I
relations that border on absolute free
trade. Her foreign. commerce is almost
exclusively conducted with us. Her
great productive properties are with
' scarcely an exception held by Ameri-
can citizens. It must be’recognized,
at least. that we are close upon the
time when the traditional hostility in
the United States toward an extension
- of authority, 'among the islands near
our coasts must to some extent give
way to the necessities of our increasing
commerce.”

A Saturday Runaway.
James Prowitt, had a narrow escape
from serious inJury last Saturday af-
ternoon. He was driving up West av-
enue in company With a painter named
George Anderson. When near the
Armory he attemptedto drive across
the horse railway tracks to get aside
from a passing team. _In doing so one
of the hind wheels of his wagon caught
in the track and the spokes and felloe
of the wheel Were; torn clip and clean
from the hub letting the wagon down
and throwing the occupants out on to
the ground. Young Prowitt held fast
to the reins and was dragged some
distance before he released his hold.
The horse kept on at a mad pace up
the avenue to Wall street turning the
corner at Main street, and continuing
on up to North avenue, down that
street to a pomt near Barnum’s brook
where he was stopped. .
Several teams were standing along
the route but fortunately there were
no collisions, not other runaways.
Several parties Who saw the accident,
ran ,to Mr. Prow1tt’s assistance. He
was taken to the‘ Armory and later to
his home. and a physician summoned.
It was found that he had sustained se-
vere bruises about the head and that
he was eonsiderably scratched about the
legs where he had been drawn on the
hard and icy hubs on the street. He
thanks his “lucky stars” that he at the
time of the . accident had on a heavy
ulster, and no doubt by reason thereof
escaped more serious injury. , But the
coat looked as if it had been shot at
with a mittraleuse gun. _
. “Jimmy” is .about all right this
morning, but w1th a face that would
suggest that he had been doing battle
with a wild cat. Anderson escaped in-

Saturday night. He was returning to

Where His Pension Money Went.
W. M. Trumbull, an old veteran and
formerly an inmate of the Soldiers’
Home at Noroton, received a check for
$382, back pension money. Last Wed-
nesday he came to Stamford to have
the check_cashed and to deposit a por-
tion, of it in one .of the local banks. It
was necessary that some one should
identify Trumbull at the bank, and he
Went in search of a person to perform
that service. Trumbull returned later
in company With Joseph Freeman, 8.
colored veteran, who is a cook at the
“Eva C.” hotel. Freeman identified
Trumbull to the satisfaction of the
bank officials, and the check was
cashed. Trumbull deposited $200 of
the amount and with the remainder
went out to see the si hts, with Free-
man as an escort. ey visited sev-
eral isaloons and spent money freely.
After leavmg Freeman,’Trumbull, up-
on counting his money, discovered he
was fifty dollars short and at once con-, '
cluded that Freeman took it from him.

Brldgeport’s Electrical Plant.
The Bridgeport Standard says that a
new electric company, which proposes
to establish a plant in that city, has
perfected a battery known as the Pen-
nock system, by which electric light
and power can be obtained and practi-
cally applied at an expense which beats
the dynamo ‘.‘ all hollow .” as the phrase
is, and admitting of methods vastl
more manageable as well as economics .
If there is a fair basis for the claims
made so confidently on behalf of the
Pennock battery, it looks as if the long
Sought practical electric power had
been found. .
' The new system, the report goes .on
to say, can be used: in propulsion of
street cars, furnishing power for elec-
tric lights, bells, and in fact all opera—
tions in electricit . The. method, it is
claimed, is simp e and very inexpen-
sive. The primary battery, as the sys-
tem is known, is the discovery of Geo.
B. Pennock, an electrician well known
throughout the country.~ It ma _ con-
sist of any number of cells, the imen-
sions of which are 6x6 inches wide and
18 inches high. These weighbut. 25
pounds and the space occupied by
them is very small. _ .. _ '
The principal item consndered 11113118
new discovery, however, is the expense.
It is estimated that 1,000 lamps _of twen-
ty-candle power each can be maintained
for three cents an hour, and to. pro-
‘duce the same candle power by dyna-
mos would cost $10. . A plant of 1,000
twenty-candle power lights, arranged
according " to this new system, _would
cost 354,000. To duplicate this Withthe
old fashioned dynamo system would
cost $10,000. _ .

OPERA HOUSE.
That the George A. Hill Theatre
company haswon the, confidence of
the theatre going people of Norwalk
was ev1denced' Saturday night by the
large crowd that assembled at the Op«
era House. It was one of the largest
audiences ever assembled .there on a
like occasion, and that it was well
pleased was shown by the hearty ap-
plause it accorded to the company.
Mr. Hill at the urgent request of sev-
eral of our citizens has decided to re-
main here another week, givjng a dis-
tinct change of programme every night.
When the announcement was made
from the stage‘it was greeted witha
universal demonstration of approval
from the audience. The company is
deserving of a full house every night
this week, and ought to receive it.
The‘play presented Saturday night
was the Irish Detective, in which
George A. Hill appeared as Roderick
Tracey. the detective,'assuming seven
different characters in all of ,which he
was first-class. Miss Alice Kemp. as
Ella DeVere was excellent of course,»
but the play was not as well suited to
her .as were others during the week.
She is a favorite here and in whatever
role she appears always wins the ap-
plause of the audience. The other
characters were well taken, that of Dr.
Garvin by H. J. Irving, being excel-
lent. Ray Earle as Susie Peters, and
all the other characters were credit-
ably presented. The specialties were
immense, John Shea and Ray Earle
were at their best and reCeived hearty
encores whenever they appeared, as
did also Constance Barrington, and
others. Give them a rousing house to-
night and thus show that Mr. Hill has
made no mistake in deciding to remain
another week.

The newspaper man is frequently not
to blame for the misstatements that ap-
pears in his paper. His commodity is
news; that is what he deals in and that
g is what his customers demand. He is
constantly on the lookout for whatever
is taking place in the community in
which he does business. It often hap-
pens, therefore, that he is 'told by
some one in whom he has confidence,
that a certain thing is about to take
place or has take-n ,place. The matter
may be of importance or it may not;
he accepts it, however, as merchandise,
and prints the facts as he receives them',
inrgood faith. Coupled with the in-
formation he has thus received there is
usually some hint or rumor, or sugges-
tion connected with‘it that has been in
his mind for some time, and which
generally assists him in his endeavor to
say what is authentic concerning it. It
is not his fault, therefore, without di- .
rect information from the parties most
concerned, if the article or item finallyv
printed, is in error.especially as it gen-
erally happens that he is unable to con
sult them, or if he does consult them
they do not tell him the whole truth,
and request that he publish only such
facts as will satisfy the public without
inJury to the matter in point. If you
have anything on your mind that you
fear wil get into the newspapers,.‘go
right off and have a talk with the edit-
or, and it is dollars to doughnuts that
he will oblige you in any way in his
power.
