HAWAII A PACIFIC POWER.

We are inclined to think that the bit
terest opponents of the Government will
approve of the wisdom of the course
taken by it in relation to the influence OF
Hawaii in the Pacific, after reading the
diplomatic correspondence on the sub
iect to be laid before the Legislature next
session. Indeed, not only must the
policy in question be approved, but its
ultimate and complete success cannot be
eainsaid by any rational man. SO lar
from the position assumed by the Haw-
allan Government being distasteful 10
the Great Powers chiefly interested, Its
uroprietv has been recognized and Its
policy approved. Never before in the
history of diplomacy perhaps has there
been such frank and generous recogni-
ton of the principle OF race autonomy
never has there been so generous a res
ponse to the appeals of right and justice
as in this case. While local politicians
were assiduous in belittling the man
-svsgyy1--zs-szse4y7EersFcz crr0 sfCIilc ques
ton, and were competing in derisive al
fusion to the country itself, the states
men of America and Europe were gravely
considering the views put forward by
this Government, and celebrating upon
the means by which effect might bC
given to them. And now it may be sale
without hesitancy, that the United
States and England-the two creates
commercial and colonising powers OF
the earth-are in accord upon this i'm
portant question of policy, and expec
this country to prepare itself for the
greater destiny in store for it. We neeC
not enter into details at this time, o
outline any policy. 1t is sufficient t.
state the fact in concrete and avail

street improvements.

The removal of the old Kanoa build
ings from the King and Merchant street /
gore has been a great improvement to /
that section of the city, and fully justifies /
the purchase of the block by the Govern |
ment. The lot and adjoining streets are
being graded to the established level
under the direction of the Superintend-
ent of Public Works, Mr.. Julius H.
Smith, and when the work has been fin
ished the public will see precisely what
the official grade OF the city, as deter
mined by accurate survey, will be. The
steam roller is now in use on the lot, and
every dispatch is being used to complete
the improvements SO as to cause as little
/ inconvenience as possible.
! 1t is also contemplated to proceed with
the widening OF Merchant street without
unnecessary delay. The Commissioners
having made their award, the Minister
| of the Interior is 10 ing no time in
giving it effect. The public spirit OF
Colonel Spreckels and Mr.. a. j. Cart
wright deserves special mention in this
connection. The net damages awarded
to Colonel Spreckels is 81 ,4l6 20; and to
Mr.. A. j. Cartwright the award was
$40 50, making a total OF $1,761 20.
These gentlemen, instead of demanding
, the amount of their respective awards
at once volunteered to convey the ground
to be taken from them for the widening
2 of Merchant street to the Government
9 free of cost, and directed the necessar.
: deeds to be made out. This was accord
= ingly done, and We understand that thu
: transaction was completed yesterday.
It the other property owners on the line
t Merchant street affected by the con
e templated improvements were to folloN
r the liberal example of the gentlemen
d named, it would enable the work to b
lie done without drawing for compensate
upon the public funds. When Merchar
street has been widened as proposed
and brought up to the official grade, til
value OF property on both sides OF tn
al street will be very greatly enhances
m This should be sufficient inducemel
RI to them to convey the small strip
al frontage needed for the public improV
is ment in question.

try has been built up by the treaty in
dustrially; and if public sentiment IN
the United States Is set so strong against
it as to defy prudent resistance, While
bowling TO the inevitable we may con-
graduate the country that 1t IS III posi-
ton to weather the storm, and go on
prosperously in the lines marked out Tor
it by public and private enterprise and
ripened experience.
And this brings US to the point that
the United States Government, in varl-
etv Of significant ways, has conveyed the
impression that it has no desire to annex
these Islands. 1t is solicitous that the
Hawaiian Government should be IN
position to stand at the head OF a great
Polynesian Confederacy OF States, instead
of cherishing petty ideas OF aggran-
dizement by the questionable policy Of
/ territorial annexation. Let us therefore
manfully face the position, and accept

and Wilder streets, which is being graded
by the Government. The suggestion Is
an excellent one.
1t has been suggested by several cor
respondents and visitors to the city, that
it would be a great improvement II the
wall surrounding the Palace were low
cred to a height of two feet, and sur
rounded by an iron railing OF chaste and
artistic design. This would open ana
enlarge the view, and permit all to ENJOY
the architectural beauties of the Palace
building and the sweep OF lawn in the
surrounding park. Indeed, 1t would
compel the appropriation OF money
enough by the Legislature to improve
and adorn the Palace grounds.
It has been suggested that the work OF

coral reef from the fair way of the en-

the Public Works Department after the
Legislature adjourns. The entrance once
cleared of this obstruction, the tidal
scour, combined with the fresh water
from the valleys, would ever after keep
it open.
Among other suggestions regarding the
Post Office is the advisability of increas-
ing the public convenience there by
having a delivery and receiving win
dow. The present arrangement is far
from satisfactory. 1t occasions great de-
lay and unnecessary crowding on steamer
days on the outside, and certainly i'm
pedes the dispatch of business on the
inside. There should, if possible, be a
! division of labor within the Post Office
| at the windows.
A free port and an amen ded shipping
registry law have been suggested-the
/ first by the ADVERTISER; the second by
the Collector General of Customs. These
suggestions should certainly be acted
upon. If carried into effect they would
greatly increase the number OF shipping
frequenting this port, and stimulate trade
and productive industries.

THE BRITISH ELECTIONS.
The Last Hope of the Gladstonians
Has Failed Them.

LONDON, July "A Cabinet Council
will be held to decide on the course to be
pursued in view of the result of the cleo
ton.
The last hope OF the Gladstonian vote
in the counties has failed. The English
counties are going Unionist The coun-
ties Of Somerset, Warwick, Hereford,
Derby, Denbigh and Shropshire, in which
centers the agricultural vote, have re-
turned Conservatives. Scotland contin-
ues Gladstonian. Numerous county polls
have not yet been taken, but it is impos-
sible to reverse the defeat of the Govern
ment. The Unionists are confident OF an
ultimate strength of $40 against 300. The
Conservatives are certain with compact
phalanX of 300 members. Lord Sails
bury will form purely Conservative
Ministry.
Returns from English counties show
large gains for the Conservatives, who
are winning some of the county divisions
by sweeping majorities. Such is the case
in North Cambridgeshire, North Shrop-
shire, West Somersetshire and North
east and Southwest Warwickshire, in all
OF which the Tories have won seats held
by the Liberals in the last House. The
Tories have also taken Carnarvon from
the Liberals. The Gladsonites have
| captured Elgin from the Unionist candi-
date who represented the district in the
last House.
The Tories so far have gained AZ seats,
the Unionists 2, the Gladstonians IS and
the Parnellites l. The Tories at 8 o'clock
had elected 23s candidates, the Gladston-
ians 164 and the Unionists 40.
The Liberal candidate, o. Williamson,
carried Kilmarnock, Scotland, where,
because OF split in the Liberal party,
the Tories elected Provost Shurrock at
the last election.
James Rankin Conservative won the
Leominister division OF Herefordshire by
majority OF nearly 1000. He was de-
feated by the Liberals in the same dis
trict election by majority of 12l. The
Leomnister returns were first published
result caused profound excitement
among the Tories all over England.
Mr.. S. Waddck (Gladstonian) carried
the Brigg division of Lincolnshire, but by
a majority OF over 1000 less than that OF
the last election. This news published
alongside OF the great Tory victory in
Leominister put the Liberals in gloom.
The Pail Mall Gazette, commenting in
an early edition on the returns, says
"The Liberal defeat is not degenerating
into rout. Yesterdays defeats assumed
the proportions OF catastrophe"
A Gladstonian has been reelected at
Blackmannan.
The Gladstonians have gained Carmar-
then, the member representing the dis.
trict in the late Parliament having voted
against the Home Rule bill.
Mr.. 7. l.. Carew (Parnellite) in the
North division OF Kildare, and Mr.. A.
Blaine (Parnellite), in the South division
OF Armagh, have been elected without
opposition.
Mccartney Conservative, has been
elected in Antrim, the Nationalist candi.

informal.
The Tories gained the North and South

and the Southport divisions OF Lanca.

live in peace and security where their in
ternal dissensions are so great as in the
case OF the people Of England and Ire
land, and through the sheer weight OF
the worlds opinion, as well as for the
begetting OF peace and prosperity, Eng
land will yet be forced TO take her grasp

shortcomings OF their own men while in
office, they would not hesitate to falsely
impute any charge to Democrats.
The Pension Office for the past
ten years has been flooded with
these same claims, and after a careful
scrutiny Republican Commissioner saw
fit to throw them out as unworthy. Now,
by the President, resulting from forcing
these same claims on him, Republican
Congressman try to make political capital
out OF it and lose sight of the law in the
cases, made by themselves or their prede-
cessors. General Bragg, of Wisconsin,
voiced the sentiments Of the American
people when he said on this occasion:
There seems to be an idea in the House
that it is the duty of the President to abdi-
cate his Office in favor of the majority of the
Committee on Invalid Pensions, whenever
in the exercise of the Constitutional preroga-
tives given him, he examines legislation to
see whether or not it is provident and
wise. II is charged that he has perpetrated
an outrage on the American people.

discharging his duty when, in the exercise
of his judgment, he sent legislation back to

the question, not with demagogical speeches
but with judicial and deliberate considera-
| tion.

nerve and courage to place his hand upon
legislation when he thinks it improper

HOME RULE DEFEATED.

From all sources, friendly and other
wise, come reports oi Gladstone's defeat
throughout England, II is cruel blow
TO the hopes OF Irishmen, and never in
the eyeptiul history OF that unhappy land
has such poignant grief been aroused,
through all her years OF misery and de-
based scridom, as the knowledge OF this
failure will bring into being. Not even
is fighting chance LETT, and it is better
10 accept the inevitable than to hope
against fate. In defeat the people of
Ireland have the supporting conscious
ness OF having enlisted the good will and
countenance OF the leading nations OF the
earth in their support, The actions OF
their most active enemies, while they
have brought about defeat to Gladstone's S
aims, have succeeded in hedging these
enemies about with obloquy and destes-
taton OF honorable men, and paves the
way for second trial which must neces.
