J. B. Steedmao was imprisoned in Morro Castle io Havana not long after the close of the civil war. He had gone to Cobs to aid the insur gent* and was captured by the Span* i.rds. Bia predicament finally was reported io Washington and his re* lease followed, If tbe report is correct that France desires to buy the Canaries, Spain had better sell them quickly. She would have done well to sell the Philippines, and Porto Rico and Cuba, long ago. Possibly she would do well to sell the Balearic Islands, sod any other odd possessions which she may have lying around, before they are taken out of the market by Uncle Bath. The night before Dewey left Wash* ing'on to take command of the Asiatic squadron he was guest of honor at a dinner. His Irostess and others ex* pressed regret that he was ordered to such a distant post. The commodore said : I shall find plenty of work to do You know the Spaniards have a fleet over there, and I’ll have to de stroy H at, es course. Then there aie the Philippines, Spanish territory. Some day you’ll hear that I’ve cap* lured Manila before breakfast. Somebody has suggested that the government send Admiral Dewey a large consignment of Mexican silver dollars with which to pay bis men. Two Mexican dollars can be purchased with one American dollar, and in Ma nila th* Mexican dollar will purchase more than the American silver dollar, because it is heavier. Tbe suggestion, however, will not be accepted. The men will be paid io gold, or money which inequivalent to gold whether it be io Manila, or Paris, or London or New York. * No aaoe railway management would think of atarliog up a great railway system with nearly all green men io eveiy department, and with the ex ceptions confined to email roads of little bueintaa A railway started un det such conditions would, in lew than I a week be aeriooaly disabled, its en gines burned out or smashed, its care I ditched, and its treasury threatened with bankruptcy from wrecks and coats. The same i* true of any great business enterprise, and is doubly true io the organisation of a great army and the carrying on of a war invasion. It ought not to be forgotten that the feature in the new land-grabing game into which our government is assumed to be ready to enter is on the pro gramme io Congress for this week. The joint resolutions for the annexa tion of Hawaii, without tbe consent of the Hswaiiane, without even consult ing tbe wishes of tbe American peo ple, it has been atated, are to be press ad for immediate action. Tbe Presi dent is said to favor them, and Speaker Reed is reported to have withdrawn, or at least mollified, bis opposition to such xnoexation viewed as a “war measure.” We must seise Hawaii be cause we are at war with Spain] Wo require the islauds for tbe protection of our Pacific coast, and tbe security of our future possessions in the Phil ippines, when Spain bae not a ship of war in tbe Pacific, and baa not at present the means of rending a fleet to replace the one destroyed by Dewey, which would not inevitably meet the acme fate. Tbe war ia tbe excuse. Tbe greed of tbe land speculators, the sugar speculators, tbe bond speculators, and the rest of the sharks who have been for months intriguing and working in Washing ton io favor of “annexation” furnishes tbe motive. Is it to be one of the fruits of a “now and more vigorous foreign policy” that that policy is to be here after shaped and governed in the in terest of such creatures* Statute •« SmSm.
