Policy Has Proved the Ruin of
Empire* and of Notion*—Hawaii
Taken in the Next Cry N\ olll*l Re
For Cu It a and Then for Samoa.
* Washington, Feb. 22,-Washington s
birthday was celebrated in the House aft
er a motion of Mr. Bailey of Texas, to
adjourn had been voted down by a \ast
deal of political speech-making, and it was
also signalized by the firing of the first
gun in opposition to Hawaiian annexation.
Mr. Johnson, an Indiana Republican, de
livered a speech that electrified the House,
and the galleries In denunciation of what
he termed an attempt to cut loose from
the traditional policy of the 1 nited States
and enter upon a scheme of colonization
that had proved the ruin of empires and
of nations. He used some very strong lan
guage. but his remarks were enthusiasti
cally applauded, and the minority and
many Republicans joined in the demonstra
tion. He declared that while he had de
nounced at the time the statement that
the Hawaiian monarchy had been over
thrown with the aid of American citizens,
t'hat he now firmly believed it was true.
The speech, coming entirely unheralded,
produced a deep impression.
The general debate on the sundry civil
bill was concluded to-day, and to-morrow
the bill will be taken up for amendment.
Mr. Johnson, in opening, referred to the
contest now on in the Senate over Hawai
ian annexation, and said the friends and
supporters of the treaty, iioth inside and
outside of the Senate, were moving
heaven and earth to secure its adoption,
and that the President was laboring to
change the conviciions of senatorial op
ponents of the measures. He discusseu
tfie recent visit of President Dole, anu
suggested that the Hawaiian nation, un
like the United States, had everything to
gain and nothing to lose. He urged con
centration of popular attention on the
issue and the disabuse of the minds of the
people of erroneous impressions, and as
serted that once put to the test others in
the Senate or In the House, the American
people would be quick to perceive the dan
ger involved and to condemn it.
•‘lt will be hurled,” he said, "beyond the
possibility even of an ultimate resurrec
tion. (Applause).
”1 am opposed to the annexation of
Hawaii,” he continued, “because I be
lieve the people of Hawaii are opposed to
it. I atn not to be confused by this spec
ious plea that the real sentiment of the
people of the Sandwich Islands is only to
be obtained from the views of those who
assume to govern them. That, sir, is the
merest technicality. There is no room
here for the application of the narrow
doctrine of estoppal.”
Whether the present government of
Hawaii was a de facto or a de jure gov
ernment, he declared that it misrepresent
ed the people of Hawaii, whose rights it
was ready to proffer away. “When you
was charged in 1893, at the time when the
lepublie succeeded the monarchy, that the
revolution was aided by the interposition
of American citizens, I did not believe it
was true,” said Mr. Johnson, “and 1 de
nied it vigorously at the time, but the
persistency with which this treaty of an
nexation is being pressed gives color to
the accusation then made, and I then so
earnestly denounced.”
Mr. Johnson, continuing, gave some of
the reasons which impelled him to oppose
annexation—one was the ignorance of the
population of Hawaii. How long had it
been, he asked, since we had passed a bill
to keep out the ignorance of the world
that we now proposed to annex territory
In which ignorance was the rule, not the
exception. We had passed a Chinese ex
clusion act. Now il was proposed to an
nex territory which contained a large
Chinese population.
He did not favor the holding of terri
tory under the shadow of the American
flag. A colonial liolicy might be adapted
to the nations of antiquity, but it would
not do for a free country which derived
Us power from the consent of the govern
ed. It would lie unwise and short sighted,
he said, if we should cut loose from all
the traditions of the past and rashly em
bark on the unknown sea of territorial
aggrandizement. The annexation of Ha
waii would establish a precedent which
we would be urged to follow at an early
day. The appetite grew by what it fed
qpon. To-day the cry was ‘‘Give Us Ha
waii.” To-morrow it would be “Give us
Cuba.” and the next day "Give ns Sa
moa."
These appeals would all lie justified by
the pleasant sophistries which appealed to
our vanity and cupidity until at last we
would find ourselves irretrievably commit
ted to a policy unnecessary to the mate
rial happiness of our people, hurrying
along a path which was strewn with the
wrecks of empires and of nations. (Ap
plause.) He could not deny, he said, that
the acquisition of foreign territory had
added to the prosperity of nations. But
history showed it to have been ultimately
a source of weakness. Cupidity bred op
position, it piled up taxes, it stirred up
strife, it shed human blood, it was the
first step toward dismemberment. Let the
nations of the old world pursue this policy
of aggrandizement to their heart’s con*
tent; let them saddle their people with
debt, equip armies and navies, and shed
oceans of blood. Let England boast, If
she please, that the sun never sets upon
iter territory. But let us remember it nev
er goes down upon the misery her policy
Iras created. Her people starve in India.
Let wars and rumors of war bring anxiety
tp the faces r colonists, but let th.■
flower of her colonies which broke away
from her domination ion years ago, and
■whTch. by pursuing the opposite policy, has
outstripped her, continue to stand as an
example to the civilized world. ’ While
Others peek wur and its horrors, let us
root he our people with enduring peace.
"Peace hath her victories no less renown
ed than war.”
We are in the infancy of our resources,
the morning of our material development.
We ‘will be wise to develop our rnateh
les* country. The internal reforms which
our country demand, present a foundation
broad enough to enlist our best efforts, the
purification of the ballot, the crushing of
the rings and trusts which plunder our
people without stint, the restriction pf im
migration, the establishment of a fixed and
viable atandard of value and the reform of
our banking laws a (lord work for us to do.
Let Us not be known pi* execrated as "the
blustering bullies of the western hemis
phere.”
"Our country is all powerful. The world
concedes our strength. While I am proud
of our navy,” continued Mr. Johnson im
powerful battleships we have built he*
tired a feeling of intolerance and insolence.
It Is not more true that a plethoric treas
ury breei public plunder than that a well
equipped army and navy rashly leads to
(fiction and war. Let our equipment in-

sure peace rather than provoke War. (Ap
plause.)
“While it may seem that these remarks
are premature and that I have taken too
firm a grip on the forelock of time, it is
my purpose to sound the alarm that the
House and country may understand the
character of the proposition pending in
the Senate. My information is that the
treaty will fail in the Senate,
but it will be supplanted by a
joint resolution suitable for the annexa
tion of the islands. I do not doubt its
passage by the Senate and that it wilt
•ome here. If the Senate fails to do its
duty, let us, fresh from the people, exer
cise our highest prerogative and send it
to its doom. (Applause.) I trust God It
will not be made a party measure. Let ex
alted patriotism and deliberate counsels
reach a conclusion worthy of this House
and this country and erect a safeguard
for the future, if we turn from this
temptation now and adhere to the right
twenty-five years of peace and prosperity
will vindicate our patriotism, and poster
ity wili bless our memories. Let us have
the moral courage to say ’No’ to a policy
which will lead, God alone knows where."
The demonstration which greeted the
conclusion of Mr. Johnson’s speech was
one of the greatest and most spontaneous
witnessed in this Congress. Many of the
Republicans joined in it and the galleries,
which were crowded, gave evidences of ap
proval. Members thronged about the In
diana member when he took his seat and
warmly congratulated him.
The re rounder of the day was almost en
tirely consumed with political speeches. .
At 5 o’clock the House adjourned.

jValdosta, Ga., Feb. 22.—The handsome
now residence of Dr. E. P. Rose was de

I. is not known how caught,
hut it was supposed to have been from a
defective flue, as the flames were burst
ing from the top of the house when they
wore discovered.
The fireman found it difficult to check
the progress of the fire owing to the fact
that they could not gel to it easily.
The building was located almost in the
business center, neit to the Methodist
Church and within a few feet of some
wooden structures that might have com
municated the flames to the business
houses.

Strong Suspicion That a Guberna
torial lice In in .lone*' Heud Gear.
Atlanta, Ga.. Feb. 22.—Rev. Sam Jones,
the freak of this year's state politics, came
down to Atlanta from his Cartersville
home to-day to see what sort of a dust his
recent utterance Is kicking up in these
parts.
He is still occupying the ambiguous po
sition which he took in his letter printed
yesterday.
He has no more desire to be Governor
than bailiff, he says, but at the same time
he evidently has something like a political
bee crawling around in his head gear.
The belief is that h“ wishes to stand be
fore the public and the field of candidate
as a menace. If his kind of man is nomi
nated by the Demotra’s, he will taae in his
horns and shut off his vocabulary, but
if not then he will make an independent
campaign himself.
If, for instance, Col. Candler gets the
nomination, the Rev. Samuel will say
"amen,” but if it should be Atkinson.
Berner or some other man who has not his
sanction, then he will sail in and try to
beat him on the cry of ringism and corrup
tion.
Neither Gov. Atkinson, Judge Afkiison
nor Col. Candler will say anything (or pub
lication about Mr. Jones’ letter.
Col. Candler is not talking for publica
tion just now, though he felt good enough
over the letter to remark that Sara was a
good one, and always right.
The evangelist is an uncertain quantity,
however, in some respects, and he might
kick again and leave a different impres
sion on Col. Candler. When he raises his
heels there is no telling where they ; ill
strike. Then he would not think "Sam
was always right."
This is what some of Gov. Atkinson’s
friends are saying. They refer to the letter
and the sermons of the evangelist a year
or so ago, In which he lauded Gov. Atkin
son to the skies for uprightness and back
bone. They also recall the fact that Mr.
Jones and his wife were guests at ;ne ex
ecutive mansion for a week or so about
the time he was delivering himself of these
laudatory ncommlums, partaking of the
hospitality of the chief of the “gang,”
which he now denounces and wishes treat
ed as so many common thieves and plun
derers. The Governor’s friends are talk
ing about these things and wonder how it
is that even Sam Jones can do them.
It is also recalled that the evangelical
censor of Georgia politics, as he now poses,
made Senator Steve Clay the target of his
most inveterate abuse during the last
campaign, and also “cussed out” dußig
non to the limits of his billingsgate. Now
he is patUng these two on the back and
has forgotten their transgressions be
cause they are for Candler. He says they
are emblems of purity in Georgia politics
now. while Berner and Atkinson, upon
whom he could not lay abuse then because
he wanted to use it al,l on Ciay and dußig
non. are the arch-villains in his eyes%,iw.
With this sort of a record some; of Col.
Candler's friends are aHittle wary of the
Jones enconiums now. are afraid
a reaction will set in, with the usuai re
sults.
As stated Gov. Atkinson has declined to
express himself about the Sam Jones let
ter. He could hardly do the subject jus
tice in ordinary print.
Col. Candler made his first speech to-day
since his announcement for Governor. He
was at a Confederate reunion at Decatur.
He did not mention politics, however, but
carefully avoided all references to his can
didacy. Col. Candler was given an ova
tion by the crowd. He was present, not
as a speaker, but at a spectator, but made
a little speech in response to the calls for
him when his appearance during the exer
cises was noticed.
CUT OFF HER CURLS.
Burglar Ines Scinsorn on a Sleeping
Girl’s Head ut Mneon.
Macon, Ga., Feb. 22.—Miss Gladys Car
toll, aged 14. lost her curls last night at
the hands of a thief. She is the daughter
of the proprietress of the National Hotel,
and was sleeping in the room with a lady
visitor. During the night the thief enter
ed the apartment, stole a lot of clothing,
and, to complete the crime, cut off Miss
Gladys’ hair, which was long and hung
temptingly about her pillow.
Consternation and anger were aroused
at the discovery this morning. The alarm
was given and officers Smallwood and
Moseiy took up the case. They were not
long in locating the clothing at the housc
of Lula Stewart, on Fourth street.
The woman says (he clothing was
brought there by a white man. whose
name she cannot or wili not give. The
officers are of the opinion that the work
was done by a white man. and some ar
rests may be made. The detective force
is on the track of the supposed hair-cutter.
The Stewart woman was given sixty days
by the Recorder for receiving stolen goods.

Right Rev. Bishop Edward Wilson, D.

gentlemen have secured the high positions

the confidence of all who know them; men
who love humanity and seek by every

It is notable, though not strange, that
both these gentlemen have found great
help and assistance from the same source,
namely: one of the great discoveries of

There are men innumerable who have
been worn out by the cares and strains
of life.ewho are less energetic and active
than formerly; who feel a Jack of ambi
tion when they should be energetic, and
who do not know the cause. There Is but
one cause for all these troubles, and that
is, kidney or liver disease.
There are many women who are unac
countably pale, sallow, sickly, who lack
appetite and are virtually a burden to
their friends and yet who do not realize
the occasion of suqh troubles. It all arises
from female difficulties caused by imper
fect kidneys. To all such the outspoken
words above quoted should come as a
blessing.
When such well-known and noble men
as the above speak in such frank and
manly terms as they do of a remedy they
thoroughly know there cannot lie the
slightest question as to its great merits
and its power to benefit mankind.
