prise from the Government Treasury,
(which British Colonists everywhere, look
upon us a miich cow, that should be always
ready with a teat for anything that will en-
large their commerce) they sent a Com
missioner, the Honorable John Young, on
a tour throughout the habitable globe, to
spy out the land for markets for Canadian
products, and to let all nations know what
Canada can DO for them if they Will but be-
come her customers and offer their own
wares to her IN return. The same spirit OF
enterprise has pushed on the great railway
work which Is eventually to unite the east
ern and western coasts of the Dominion,
and give Britons a t~horoughfale to the Pa
cihc through exclusively British territory
And again the same spirit or enterprise
makes the Canadian manufacturer LOOK at
these Islands with enquiring eyes, noticing
how good a customer his neighbor has
found in them, and being told that said
neighbor does not always seem to know
when he Is well of, linking that perhaps
Hawaii like Brazil will be kindly disposed
towards a Reciprocity Treaty with the Do
minion. He has a Ugh no doubt, TO feel
encouraged in this idea by a good many
things that have been said of late in the
United States, and by many more things
that have been written, and he cannot be
expected to measure the true feeling of that
country towards us except by such express
sion as Senators, Congressman, newspapers,
and individuals who set themselves to be
interviewed, may, from time to time, give
of it. He has got an idea that canada
would prove just as good a nursing mother
to US as the United States; and, for ought
we know to the contrary, his idea may have
fact for a foundation.
When we feel anxious about our Treaty
and respondent under one of the avalanches
of abuse which are periodically let loose
upon us by a certain portion of the Ameri-
can press, we may find in all this a cheer
ing ray Of light. If we are anxious, here
are others who are anxious also, but in
quite a different vein-anXious to be our
CONSIDERS if our hopes be dashed. If "a
spirit of INCONSISTENCY seize on our great pro-
tecting neighbor, there is still a future before
us. Tive things we have to learn from this
Canadian movements; First-That Hawaii
is not the altogether Insignificant and out
of the world country that some, even among
ourselves, would have US believe her to be;
second, that-since for every shrewd and
pushing spirit to be found in Canada there
are twenty in the United States, and since
what shrewdness and push i'm the one cuun,
try discern to be good objects to expend
themselves upon will be put in like place by
the same qualities in the other country-so
is it sure that America will never let slip
the hold she has got on thec and
the productive industry of Hawaii, and
will give us all that another would, and per-
haps something more, to retain that hold
now and always.

WE published in Mondays issue a long
extract from the Boston Herald, entitled
"Spreckels Scheme for AnneXing the Ha-
waiian islands, We jid not publish it as
news. The whole statement of this alleged
scheme of annexation has been emphatic
ally denied by Colonel S~preckels himself.
The whole story is one of the absurd things
gotten up by an opposition Press but we
published it mainly to ILLUSTRATE the ignor-
ance, that exists abroad in respect to these
Islands, which is particularly surprising as
manifested in Boston. There is a Hawaiian
club in that city, and several gentlemen
formerly in business in this Kingdom, who
nave returned to Boston with large means,
and vet we see that men of education and
wealth there can talk as ~ignorantly about
us "a the most uniformed and reckless
people abroad-who have concocted stories
about Hawaiian slavery and kindred absur-
dities. But the Boston Herald, like the
New York Herald, evidently Influenced by
parties inimical to the Reciprocity Treaty,
and to Colonel S%FTeckels as an influential
advocate, are INSCRIPTIONS in their publ
cation of mischieVOus misstatements, but,
as we nave said before, the press is only
powerful when it is fully concurrent with a
widespread popular conviction. The sugar
refining interestssof the Eastern States are
only trying to manufacture q public opin-
ion. We do not think it will succeed. At
any rate, we know it has not succeeded in
the really influential quarters.

THIS Journal is frequently cited and quo
ted as the official organ. We beg to say
hat the PACIFIC COMMERCIAL ADvER-
TIsER, DAILY or WEEKLY, is not the OFF,
cial organ of the Government. The Ha-
waiian Government at one time hadhan
officer styled the Director-Gen~ra RAJ OF the
Cove rnment Press then it had a press of
its own and a newspaper, the Gazette,
which was in every sense an official and
authoritative organ of the Governme. 1T, but
there is nothing official in our columns,
except what is put under the heading of
"By Authority" 1t is true that one of
the Ministers is largely interested in tile
ADVERTISERS newspaper and steam print
ing establishment, but he is not the editor
of the journal, and, we beg to say that, al
though it's aim is to be in harmony with
his views-he being IA proprietor-yet edi-
torials, reports and other publication of the
paper are not made up or supervised byany
member of the Government, and must not
be reg arded as in any sense official. 6

Mr.. BELMONT, member of Congress, re-
ferring, in q recent report, to certain pro-
posed action in Congress in relation to the
~abrogation of the Treaty of Reciprocity
with Hawaii, remarks, "You would not
think of making such an implied menace
to a great power like England or Germany"
Gentlemen in public Office in charge of the
administration of the affairs Of a great ma
sflon, in their dealings with n small state
edfffEry Interior in power to their own,
never forget, in their official or diplomatic
intercourse, that courtesy which is ever ex-
ercised by the generous and strong towards
the weak. How nobly this was illustrated
We have all seen and commented upon
a0aiu aud again on the death Of the repre-
sentative Of little Hawaii in the Executive
Mansion Of the Great Republic. If rin
Bismarck, the arbiteE Of n mighty empire,
had fallen there, his remains could not have
received more respect and honor than were
accorded to those Of HaYaiiis dead Minister.
All this was generous and great and be-
smoke the leaders OF the nation as chivalrous
and generous in the highest degree. 1t IL
Iustrates, moreover, the perfect courtesy OF
the true gentleman; but many fall short OF
that character, both at home and ABROAD,
and deem i proper in order, perhaps, to
abats our prstensions, to scornfully remind
ms Of our l~ittIsnsss, y saying, originating
with that noted humoFist, Mark Twain,
that his Kingdom was like a sardine box
pfopeIIed by the machinery Of the Great
Eastern, has furnished expression to multi
tudes of vulgar and ungenerous souls in
their discussion Of the affairs of this little
Kingdom. Mr.. Belmont reminds this class
OF men, who are forgetful OF the eOUrtesies
that are due to weakness, which has not
forfeited any due consideration, that they
must respect the perfect independence Of a
state. whatever its dimensions, and treat it
on the same footing of honor and mutual
seIf-respeet a. between equals Great and
warning states OF Europe have permitted
thenexistence Of the petty independent Prin-
cipaIity Of Monaco for ages, and nave re-
spected the autonomy Of that little rocky
citadel. At this enlightened period such
consideration will not be withheld from our
fnsuIar state In mid-Paciie, whose position
can only bera benefit 10 all the powers and

y WEEKLY contemporary comments as
follows With an utter disraoa ri
for independence of thought and ex-
preston of feeling, the Ministry are
using their whole strength to repress
personal independence among EMPLOYEES
OF the Government That is to saw
that the responsible heads of depart-
ments do not desire that the particulars of
their administration should be literally re-
tailed on the street by their subordinates
We would asks it probable that the Bank,
or the Planters Labor and supply Com
pany, or any other business organization
IN the Kingdom would be content to permit
a Secretary, clerk or other employee to
speak freely of the business secrets of the
establishment TO detail infinitely the do
inSs Of the principals, and to ~criticise in a
spirit-O cynical bitterness their proceedings
and motives? There is not a business
establishment in the country that would
tolerate for . day-nay, not for an hour
even-such Il blabbing and criticising en-
ployee. Personal independence is all very
well and very proper when maintained
Uith-due respect to the rights and interests
Of others, but n personal independence that
seeks to crafty its own whims regardless
of the rights and interests OF others, degen-
crates into a personal hostility that cannot
hope to maintain trustworthy relations with
any party.

WILLIAM X CASTLE, Gen

which he endorses, and which Represents
his political views, what he terms the I" dis
gushing programme for the hula at the
Palace" He says, that "fn any civilized

be prosecuted to the extent Of the law -.

Is your Life Worth a DoIlarq

Perhaps that seems a high price for
it, considering how poor your blood
is, and how your whole system is
prostrated, ,debilitated, and enfeebled.
People have been heard to say, under
such circumstances, that they would
not give the toss of a copper for the
choice between life and death. But
when it comes to actually drawing
near the grave, a man naturally draws
back, and says he does not want to
die. Life is very precious, and even
to a broken-down man it is worth
saving.
