Is the future predicted for Hawaii bv the advocates ofannexar atlon, In the event of the rejection of tho pendlug treaty by the senate, says the Washington correspondent of the Herald. LeadlnK members of tho senate com mlttco on lorcign relations appear to be unanimous In the opinion that when the treaty Is called up evidence will be furnished to prove that there Is some secret work now going on In this direction. It is alleged that the nuwallans now In this city to protest against the ratification of the treaty arc here in the Interest of Kal- ulanl, and that the English influence Is behind the movement. ' Members of the committee declare there there Is strong evidence, more substantial than this, to prove that the failure of the United States to take Hawaii means European dotnl-. nation over the islands. Just what this Information is, members of the committee decline to dlyulge, but. the significant statement was made that when the facts were lbrought out in executive session of the senate It would bring to the support of the treaty several senators who arc now on the other side. It is on account of this secret in formation in possession of the com mittee that Senator Davis will oppose the discussion of the treaty in open session. Ho will insist on Its consid eration behind closed doors, and he will be supported 1 1 this proposition by all members of the committee. Cleveland Wreck. Pout Townsend. Dec 18.

It was a clean yoto cast by Democrats, Populists, und Silver Re publicans from principle. That voto wus u conscience vote and It stands for good government. We do not believe this vote In the coming June election will bo dlyldcd Intotwo or more opposing parties. It should not bo rended by ambitions of apeisonnl character. With a clean ticket, free from ull corrupting in fluences, standing on the simple plat form of common honesty and tho right ofttlio people to have good gov ernment economically administered, Oregon can bo carried by tho men who voted for Bryan In 1890. For noother kind ot ticket than the very best and ablest und for no other purposo than to improve stato and county govern ment, will the voters who laid aside all party feeling in 1890, to support a common candidate unite under ono banner in 1898.
