And Hawaii is rightfully governed |

And HAWAII ID rlgntIuly RoVerneu ny
Hawaiians, assisted by foreigners.
But the enterprise and wealth Of the foreigner
must be protected. And it always has been in
this Kingdom.
The foreigner has had nothing to fear. during
the occasional disorders that have disturbed this
little State. When a host of foreign sailors
broke the peace of this port, and at the time,
there were several millions of foreign property in
the harbor, nothing was molested. When the
barracks mutineers defed the authority of the
King and Government, there was no threat
against the foreigner, although he appeared rifle
riot broke the peace. and cost the lives OF
Hawaiisns /; yet no foreign life or foreign pro-
perty was assailed, or even threatened.
Therefore. the foreigner has always been pro-
tected by q Hawaiian Government, and by the
Hawaiian people and there is no occasion now,
no more than in the past to raise any cry for
especial protection to the foreigner. And the
political privileges of the race, to whom, and in
whose behalf especially, a national and diplo-
matte recognition has been accorded by Great
Powers should be respected BY those especially,
who may be transient in the country, and So
journers for a temporary period.
To those who cast their lot in the islands, and
whose homes and hopes are here, the political
principles we have quoted, will not seem out of
place even at this time and they will be content
that q Hawaiian King and Government shall con-
tinue to rule. and faithfully guard the native and
forei On alike.

The Gazette has w~antonly paraded the names
of certain fellow townsmen-Messrs. Lazarus,
Bolster, Barnes, and others-in order to ridicule
them, and disparage others. The editors OF the
Gazette are ex-Ministers OF the King, and claim
to be representatives of our highest culture and
best society. and thus they illustrate their quality
and position. They drag into notoriety the
names of unoffending citizens, who have no means
of reply, and no opportunity to retaliate. They
present these names in a spirit OF scorn-and
why3 Because these men lead quiet and unam-
bilious lives, or work as mechanics or in other
useful pursuits for their living, and pay
their own way? Or because they are not of the
set, and style, and supposed quality of these
assumed dictators of social conditions and poll
teal positions7 But shall these insulted men, or
any other men in our midst, be measured by
their standards Shall the people of this country
have to appeal to such censors for credentials of
social and political recognition And must
even the Sovereign wait upon their dictum of
approval? Not 80, while there is q spirit here
to stand up for what is manly and right, and an
honest indignation against q cowardly attack
that will send back scorn for scorn.
And whom do they essay to disparage? His
Majesty's Ministers. Now we declare that we
are not pledged to any support of Ministers-now
or hereafter-but we cannot refrain from Ak
pressing our detestation of mean, unwarranted
insinuations against gentlemen chosen by the
King to carry on the Government-against
Minister Bush, for many years the foreman of
the Government Press, more recently Governor
of Kauai, and now called to the Department of
the Interior I; against Attorney General Jones,
who was a Senator in his native State, and a
successful practising lawyer before his profess
sional revilers had begun to suckle their Black
stone and against Minister Kuaea, who FOR
about twenty years has been the ablest and most
prominent among native Hawaiian clergymen.
But these gentlemen are not injured by the
insinuations and those who are paraded. as in
contrast, are not hurt by the scorn. It recoils
back on the scorner. Honesty, and fair play,
and manhood are on the side of the citizen, how
ever humble, who is w~antonly assailed by pre-
~tentiOus scorners.

TIE sanitary condition of the city must receive
the most earnest attention of our authorities.
There is danger in delay in this matter. The
germs of malaria develop and spread, day by day.
The frequent breezes, and dryness of atmosphere
maintain a certain s~alubrity for a time.-but
after a while, the frequent rains with constant
overhanging cloud, will keep backyards ever
damp and foul. And neglected cess-pools will
reek, tester, and germinate. And then those
that are full of promise will be struck with fever
and death, and the Government and Board of
Health, will be blamed. So be up and doing
and provide all that human skill and experience
can provide for the better sanitary condition of
this cikv.

The health of Honolulu is not well provided
for. There is a sad in efficiency in a Board of
Health, and a great lack of charitable ministra-
ton in the community, when it can be said, that
of certain number of people deceased within q
given period, two-thirds of the number died
without medical attendance, and even without
any nursing care. We do not suppose that ami
But alas, humanity is not usually interesting,
unless it is respectable. A poor dark body, per-
haps loathsome with scabs, sinks Town to die,
and who cares? There is no Xavier, nor How
ard, nor Fry to care. No devoted brother, or
sister, who will wait on disease and death, and
wash vile sores, and wait on an ofeusiye invalid,
whether wanted or not. But we wish there was.
We want some mighty charity here in Honolulu.
We will not complain of Boards of Health.
They provide food and lodging for sick and in
sane, and strive to cleanse highways and bye
ways,-and they do the duty, thai is required at
their official hands. But we need something that
Boards Of Health cannot provide. We need
women, who love to help their fellow beings in
misery, and who will not tire in waiting on sbem.
We have those who love to hslp thsir
fellow beings In misery but they tire
after a time. Is it the climate that
weakens our philaDthrophyf Or IL it the
absence of great inspiring associations 7
Do we need the mighty mise ries of war or the
baleful squalors and agonies of a great city. to
arouse our sympathies, and set into full activity

The Legislature made a liberal provision for
roads, and the country may expect that mpor-
tant works Of internal Improvement, will be
speedily commenced, and carried out. The pro-
vision made for the Nuuanu Pail road will ere
long place the Kona and Koolau sides of this isl
and in easy communication with one another.
The appropriations for Maui in judicious hands,
must soon connect Lahaina and Waikiki by a
carriage way. and establish better communica-
tions with Makawao, Honuaula, Hama, Kama
pail, HonOkohau, and other parts of that island.
We rejoice that q sum was provided for a car
riage way from Hilo to the volcano. The great
wonder, not only Of this Archipelago, but of the
world, must be made of easy access 30 that
multitudes OF tourists, even the aged, delicate.
and infrm may be enabled to witness this indies
cribable energy and terror of nature. Indeed we
hope to hear the snort and scream OF the iron
horse responding to the roar of wondrous Pele.
And Puma, Kau, Kona, Kohala, and Hamakua
of the great island have been 30 liberally pro-
vided Tor in the matter OF roads, that the tourist
and business prospector should be enabled to
visit every desirable point of Hawaii without
di6iculty. The barbarous bride paths, Town
rayines and into gulches, and over dangerous joys
OF rock and lava must be spoken of as the rough
"reminiscences of the past. And Molokai will be
enabled to grade and smooth her pail roads.
And a. for Kauai she has been bIest 10 time mast.
with wise and faithful road workers but the
additional provision made for her highways, will
help to perfect the circuit of her fruitful lands.
and to provide efficient bridges in many places

Over 500, 900 has been provided for roads BY
. Legislature, ANXIOUS to do good to the country.
and we feel assured that q minister having public
welfare at heart, will see to it, that this large
sum 10 faithfully and judiciously expended on
our Hawaiian highways.

THE PACIFIC COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER
is fully of age. 1t has just celebrated
the completion of its quarter of a century.
Mr.. H. NJ. Whitney founded this journal
on the 1st of July, 1856. He was an editor
of ability, and a most indefatigable news
man, and he gave to the paper the position
of the leading newspaper of the Pacific,
which it shall be our aim, who AXE
up its editorial pen to maintain. The pro-
gress of this Kingdom requires an advance
in journalism, which we shall endeavor to
supply. Our objects are the dev elopment
of the Hawaiian Archipelago, and the pro-
motion of the welfare of the Hawaiian peo-
pie of all races. We do not undertake
journalism merely for the sake of writing,
or to promote any personal views, or to
crafty any spirit of vindictiveness The
country, the whole country is our cause, it's
people, its society, its health, it's education,
and its agricultural, commercial, manufac-
turing, and other interests. We will
serve these with a faithful pen, inspired by
a heart, which recognizes that generous
ideas should prevail in the affairs and gov
eminent of mankind. We will seek to
avoid all strife and personalities, aiming
to be occupied only with public interests,
and we will say that we have not provided
any cruise of gall, or venom for our pen.
But at the same time we will say, that our
spirit will not be backward to defend our
friends when assaiIed, and to resent wrong
to the interests of a country that we love.
And among such wrongs we will recognize
any discredit to the good name of Hawaii,
or any disloyalty to the Hawaiian Throne.
We are loyal to the King, devoted to the
welfare of the people, and hope and aim to
this journal an instrument for the
advancement and blessing of the Hawaii
nation.

WE ARE sensitive about our Treaty Of Reel
procity, and we have reason to be 30. It has
wrought remarkable and bene6cent changes for
US in four years, and promises a continued ex-
p~ansion and advancement of our islands pros
perity. But will it be renewed, is the anxious
enquiry in every ones mouth. We think so.
We have a great deal of faith that way. And in
order to give q reason for the faith that is within
us, we look beyond opinions or discussions,
either here or on the Pacific Coast. Americas
heart is in the strategic Importance of this
Archipelago. We may gain more than our
share out of the Treaty, and we may be in fault
sometimes; yet we will not ALLEVIATE the feeling
and continental policy that looks this way.
Eastern re6neries will lobby a good deal, and
even States may be against us, yet for all that
statesmen,-the statesmen OF America are with
us in this matter. We are not going to be lobbied
out Of our Treaty. We will not be lobbied out
Of the good will Of America that did not need a
bonus for what she gave and will not require
any other advantage to grow out of her conces-
sion to us,-than the assimilation with the
continent to which the concession must lead.

The above is the title of q pamphlet received by
the last mail. The subject as treated. is a repeti-
ton of allegations in respect to Spanish discovery
of these islands. which do not rest on q particle of
historical foundation. There is not a recognizable
statement in the log of the voyage of the Italian
adventurer Gaetano in 1912, which We have read
which will serve to identify the islands he spoke of
with any one of this archipelago. The Arson
Chart copied from the one found on the Spanish
galleon, Nuestra Sonora de Cobadonga, does not
furnish any trace or outline recognizable as an is
land Of this group. and there is not a relic or dis
tinct well preserved tradition among the natives of
this country to indicate or prove any foreign visit
to these islands prior to the discovery Of Captain
James Cook, in ITO. But some writers will con-
tinue to dwell upon this improbable allegation of
q prio. Spanish discovery.
Our worthy ex- Minister OF Foreign Affairs adds
nothing new on this subject. But we wish he
would give us his reminiences of these islands,
since his first visit in 1925. We wish he would tell
us about the visit of Commodore Jones in the
Peacock in 1926. and about the reclamations
which he enforced and many other matters Of
interest in Hawaiian history. Mr.. Pierce as a
shrewd, Observant, intelligent merchant. who has
known these islands for Hfty- five years could give us
some very valuable historical chapters. We hope
Mr.. Brookes will assist him to do so.
