PROSPECTIVE DANGER.

We most decidedly differ from our Wednes
day contemporary, in its assertion tina, "the
treaty is in no immediate danger" The ma
ture Of late advices indicate clearly that danger
besets us on all sides, perhaps, but one. We
admit that "the Executive has been favorable
to its continuance" but we would not blind our
eyes to the fact that our enemies are working
like beavers, and that they are strengthening
their points at all turns so as to have notice OF
discontinuance served on us as early as the
treaty will allow. And the fact that this time
is rapidly drawing near incites them to vigi-
lance and activity while we, taken in a
measure unprepared through the sudden death
Of Minister Allen, instead Of Fastening to the
rescue and defence of our interests, calmly lie
idle and wait, Micawber like, for something to
turn up. This do-nothing policy is the bane Of
activity in matters of deep commercial, aye and
vital interest to this community and nation.
The letter Of Secretary Folger's, which we
give in full in this issue, while excellant in
tone and strongly favoring Ctr cause, contains
several points which our enemies will make
capital out Of unless it is explained away with
diplomacy and commercial tact. The asser-
ton, too, that sugars are admitted now that
were not contemplated by the treaty is erro-
neous in the extreme and would seem to call
for the labor Of him who had so much to dc
with its construction. /, is to be hoped thai
our interested people and Government will be
united and act with promptitude in send
ing the best available man for the position
of Minister Resident al Washington.

THE SHADOW or COMING E YKN7s

II any Of our readers are at loss to account
for the solemn silence which now prevails
throughout the Kingdom we will venture to
suggest to them that it is no doubt the results
Of the breathless interest which His Majesty's
subjects feel in the approaching coronation. The
"dread king" who will perhaps be known in
history as that areadtA David, cannot hope
that his loving people will give evidence Of the
mirth which has ever distinguished them, until
the awful spectacle Of real crowns and sccptres,
throne, velvet and ermine, has become thing
Of the past and the populacc once more breathe
freely.
The brilian, gathering Of ambassadors from
foreign courts; the fleets Of battle ships thai
have FASTENED TO honor the occasion, as IL the
importance Of il had been heralded in the faI
therest seas; the delugc Of curious, though
probably undistinguished, visitors who would
not for worlds, miss seeing the event Of thu
century; the prospect that our sisters, III,
neighboring islands Of the group will be disso
luted owing to the superior attractions Of cap
ital for fortnight at least. All this is surcl,
enough and more than enough to impose so

ROYAL CLEJIENCY.

1t has been the custom OF various countries,
extending for ages back, for the heads Of gov
eminent, upon the occurrance of certain great
public events such as their Inauguration in
Office, to exercise their clemency towards n
limited number of their subjects who are under
sentences of penal servitude or confinement.
The power Of pardon is one of the perogatives
Of the King under the constitution Of this
country, but subject however, to the concur
renee Of the Privy Council and in certain ex-
ceptional instances, if rightly exercised, may be
made the means of aiding justice and further
ing the true interests Of the community. Like
all great privileges, however, lis improper use
may be attended with great detriment to every
true interest. In all civilized lands, great
caution is exercised in its use, and it is rarely
bestowed in cases where il can be clearly per
ceived that the object sought in the punish
ment of the criminal, has been fully achieved,
the perpetuation Of the punishment.
Strong political reasons the subsequent,
disclosure of mitigating facts, OF unmistakable
evidences Of genuine repentance and reform in
the individual among the considerations
which justify the exercise Of the pardoning or
repreiving power; but when exercised in con.
tranety with either Of these, it becomes i'm.
mediately subversive of order and good govern
ment. The promiscuous discharge and
| enfranchisement OF criminals, with no other
object in view than false display Of clemency,
under the mistaken suppositon that the com
munity, or any respectable portion Of it, will be
pleased thereat, will have but an opposite
effect to that desired, and have a tendency to
more thoroughly shake confidence in the
Crown. To do this would be TO offer an in.
centive to crime, and eventually point the
way to that worst state Of society, where men
will naturally become more and more disposed
to disregard the formalties Of law, and seek
satisfaction in estra.legal ways.
We much regret the fact that this power
has already been too excessively used, and that
terminals and their friends, as consequence,
are beginning to look with a certain degree OF
reliance upon the exercise Of the Royal clemen.
ey to mitigate the severity OF the law. Il Is
said that the occasion Of the coming Corona.
ton is To be an event that will call for more
pardons, and that its occurrence is looked to
with confident hope Of release by many Of the
worst criminals that now occupy the Oahu
Jail.
We canno, prevent His Majesty and Pri)
Council from pardoning every offender there
II il is their pleasure SO to do but We have /
RICH, to hold them responsible II they abuse
great privilege, and in the name Of conscicne.
and every principle Of justice, good govern
meni, and the peace and quie, Of the eommu

without good and sufficient reason. Lssj.stio

criminals.
