Hawaii- Tbe Baltimore American puts tbe case of Hawaiian annexation in its true light, legal as well as political. It says: Hawaii will ba annexed. Tbe Sen ate followed the line of public senti ment by its decisive majority in favor of annexation. Tbe pearl of tbe Pa* cific will come under tbe juris* diction of tbe United State*. Tbe question baa given rise to bitter con troveray in some quarters. Ihe op* position has never been very strong, but it has been zealous and noisy. Some of it has been perfectly sincere, while some of it has been offensive, oarping nagging kind which condemns all parties and pretty much all ques tions which arise in politics for adjust ment. But there can be no doubt about popular sentiment. It ia large ly and enthusiastically for annexation. This has been shown by several at tempts of sensation journals to ascer tain tbe opinion of the people. In one case, when the paper was opposed to 1 annexation, it received so few votes against it that it suspended tbe puj>* lication of tbe people’s views. It would have saved much trouble had (ho senate ratified the treaty. Tbe main argument of tbe anti-annex tionist would have been destroyed. They have dwelt at great length on tbe constitutionality of annexing tbe islands by both blanches of congress. There is nothing in it. Tbe Constitu tion does not say how territory must be annexed, and tbe finest territory which has ever been annexed—tbe etale of Texas—was annexed by a joint resolution of congress. The argument is purely fanciful. Tbe president and the senate have tbe right to make treaties; therefore, they have tbe right to annex territory, and congreee as a body has no right io tbe matter. Tbe miner premise of tbe syllogism ie missing. In the discussion of annexation each side has accused the other»of being influenced by the auger trust. It does not matter to tbe country or the peo ple which side the trust is od. It may be on both sides. That is one of tbe devices of combinations which participate in politics. They want to bs on tbe safe side. But it does not matter to the country. The Hawaiian island will last for all time. They are of great advantage to the country now, but a century benoe they will be invaluable and the inhabitants will be surprised that there ever could have been opposition to annexation.
