AGAIXST ASXEXATIOX.
Yesterday we published an article
from the Inter Ocean favoring the
annexation of Hawaii. Today we
print one against Hawaii token fromj
nil article m the New loik Inde
pendent. In these two communica
tions arc preserved the best argu
ments pro and con, and present suffi
cient facts from which a conclusion
ma- be drawn:
"We should not annex Hawaii, in
the first place, because we do not
need it and should not annex any
territory that we do not need. "We
have needed all the territory that we i
have acquited, except Alaska. It
vias really essential that we should
possess the wLole water front from
"Maine down the Atlantic cosst nnc
around the Gulf of Mexico as far as
tuu xviu uiuuut, mtiuuiug lut irj
or tue .Mississippi ana uie regions
tributary to that river; it was equal
ly essential that the republic should
have a broad sweep along the Pacific
coast. It is only the logical devel
opment of the country when we took
in Florida and the Louisiana pur
chase and Texas and the Pacific
slope. "We had then all that was
necessary. Alaska was bought, not
because it was essential to us, but be
cause Russia wanted to sell it and
we were anxious to accommodate a
friend. 'One of the chief motives,'
wrote Simon Cameron, who was fa
miliar with the negotiations, "was to
show our regard for Russia for the
part she had taken during the war."
The nation is quite large enough
already. "What we need is not more
territory, but 'a more perfect union'
of the still inharmonious parts of
what we now have. There is too lit
tle community of interest between
the various sections that exist. Our
first duty is to bind these more
closely together. The stretch be
tween Maine and California is quite
as long as the yet light) knit bonds
will endure.
""We should not annex Hawaii, in
the second place, because we should
be worse off with it than we are
without it. If we make it a pait of
the union we shall have an isolated
and exposed territyry over 2,000
miles away, which we must always be
prepared to defend. We must build
extensive and expensive fortifica
tions, and we must maintain a much
larger navy than we now require.
The mere acquisition of the islands
will noi give us "control of the Pa
cific.' Captain Mahan, the ablest
champion of a 'forward policy' for
the Utited States, admits this. He
pronounces the theory that such an
island or such a harbor will give
control of such a body of water 'an
utter, deplorable, ruinous mistake,''
since it overlooks the 'other implied
conditions of adequate protection
and adequate navies.'

Hons with it. We
can continue xSiSShnrr,
enjoy all of the advantages that we
now have without incurring any of
the responsibilities that ownership
!
would impose.
"we gbould not annex Hawaii, in
the third place, because we have no 1
wy to govern it The only proper J
conception of the union is a col lee j
lion of Mlf 'governing states. We do
sot know today how to govern
Alaska, because it lacks what should
j be the first qualification of a terri
tory assurance that it will grow
into a state that will strengthen the

population, by its very constituent
elements, is unfit for democratic rule.
It never had such rule before the
revolution of lSOo, and it has not
had it since then. The existing
government represents but a very
small fraction of the population ; and
it would not dare to submit its
claims to a vote of all the people, as
we use term people in this country.
"The great bulk of the people in
Hawaii represent races which have
never shown any capacity for self
government. If one of the forty
five states now composing the union
had such a population as the 1 10,000
in these islands, we should despair of
its future. We should consider
nine-tenths of the people unfit to
vote, and we should shrink from the
idea of letting the other tenth rule
this vast majority and help to de
cide presidential elections. The in
stinctive feeling of every thoughtful
man about Hawaii was well ex
pressed by the venerable Senator
Morril of Vermont when he declared
that 'it would be a farce to give the
natives or
any others there state
powers and equal representation in
the union with 2sew York, Pennsyl
vania, Illinois, Ohio and Massachu
setts.' "
Novel Pile Drlvlns
In a paper recently read before the
American Society of Civil Etipincer.
j'rof. W. H. Burr described some experi
mental pile driving- through new stone
filled crib work. Nineteen piles were
urien. The crib was 05 feet deep, and
the piles, from 52 feet to GO feet long,
were shod with chilled cast-iron jo:nts,
held on by straps spiked to the pile.
The hammer used in driving weijrhs
o.jUO pounds, and the greatest number
of blows was 330. There was no difli
eulty whatever in drhins the piles, and
there were no failures. In the discus
iJoii following- the reading; of the paier
several other gentlemen gave particu
lars of pile driving throug-h loo'-e rock.
The shoe used in the work of the New
York department is conical, the angle
of the cone being about i0 degrees
The base of the cone is fiat, and it is se
cured to the cone by a pin cast nb a part
of the shoe and let into the end of the
pile. This type of shoe is said to have
proed very satisfactory m practice.
