dom consistent with GOOD government,
America does not propose 10 surrender
itself TO a band Of dissolute foreigners .
and authorize the latter TO proclaim /
authority throughout the land. |
America has hitherto been the rendez-
vous of the revoluiionistso Of the world. |
The Mosts, the .schwabs, the Spies. and
the Socialistic scoundrels generally,
wuen their necks were endangered n
their own countries, have crossed she
Atlantic and declared this republic
their home. They have not been con-
tent TO acc pit things as they are; they
have not been willing 10 comply Nth the
rules established for the protection oil
society, and were opposed TO the laws
\ which the community had enacted for
the government of individuals; they
were malcontents and disorgsnizeis IN
their own countries, and refused TO
change their natures in this. Com
munities are better OF without such
men, and Exchanging Of the Chicago
reyolutionists Will increase the feeling
! of safety entertained by all good citizens.
But more than the execution Of these
aeitators will the death OF the gang
benefit the United States. ltwih sho"
to the world that America is net an
asylum for the revolctionists and COM
munists Of Europe. 1t has cast q
reflection upon this country that We
have harbored the depraYed wreiehes
who could not live in their native
lands, and given them shelter
and protection if not encouragement
Foreign powers have had the night TO
complain that America has PROVIDED
home and refuge for the scoundreis who
have sought to overthrow governments
and bring about anarchy, but this
scandal viii be removed by the hang
ing Of spies and his companions. The
warning viii be sounded TO the peoples
of all lands that while America oilers a
home to the oppressed OF all natioas'
there canbs no agitation here which has
for its object the destruction OF gov
eminent; that lawlessness in THIS
country. means quite as much as 1t can
in Germany, Bohemia, France or Great
5ritian. ~ ~r 40

IT MEANS WELL.

The conviction of the Chicogo Anar-
chis;s ought to mean more than the
hanging OF the Seven fellows declared to
be worthy of the gallows; it ought to
mean that free speech and the right TO
agitate do not include the privilege OF
making war on the government. nor
include the right TO hght against the

The SENATE refused TO confirm the
nomination of Matthews as recorder OF
deeds of the District Of Columbia, the
Office, so long held by Fred Douglas.
Like Douglass, Matthews is negro, and
an influential Republican newspaper II
New York says the Senate declined to
confirm the nominees appointment
''solely on the groand of his color" 1t
would be nearer the truth to say that
the fellow was not confirmed solely be-
cause he is eolored Democrat. The
Republican Senate has a great hiking

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1886-12-06

HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS IN CONGRESS.

The present session of the United
States Congress will probably take ac-
ton upon questions more directly af-
fecting the future of these Islands than
any previous session since 1876. Recent
discussion within this Kingdom and the
United States has quickened the public
mind in America regarding the Reel
procity Treaty and the future relations
OF Hawaii to foreign powers. We attach
but little Importance to exaggerated
statements, because the minds of men
entrusted with the conduct of great al
fairs are seldom if ever influenced there
by. But we do attach importance to
the facts underlying the exaggerations
referred to, because these are of a ma
ture to beget at least anxiety regarding
the future of this country.
1t is premature to speculate upon the
turn affairs may take at Washington
this Winter, but the situation is one of
gravity to say the least. Very probably
the President may ignore Hawaiian af-
fairs in his Message to Congress, but
should he touch upon the general ques-
ton of international reciprocity there
can hardly be a doubt that he will al
lude to the Hawaiian Convention which
Is before the Senate for ratification.
President Cleveland is opposed, on
principle, to such treaties, an5 his party
likewise is committed to the general
principle that fiscal legislation should
not be controlled or modified in any wav
by treaties with foreign countries.
Whether this principle will be pushed to
an extreme is point upon which no one
can offer an opinion in advance; if it
should so happen, then it follows that
the opposition to the Reciprocity
Treaty with Hawaii would stand bet
ter chance of success, although it is
mainly based upon trade rivalry and
personal dislikes. Economic principles
do not enter into the organized opposi-
ton to Hawaiian reciprocity with the
United States. 80
Nevertheless it is always possible that
by allying itself with t the dominant
party this oppOsitioT NAV be successful
ana OF course every fact or incident tend
