The World this morning says: "The
grip on both ends of the present Congress
especially the House. This is nothing new,
but there will be day of reckoning for the
millionaire schemers Of the Pacific Railway
combination who are swindling the Govern
ment out of its Just dues"
The Sim says: "Congress should not ad-
jouln without taking all the measures nee
essary to render the White House a place
for healthy habitation. The White House
is dangerous to It's occupants, and it should
be set right during the summer vacation
now near at hand.n
The Tribune thinks "there is no ground
for charge Of partisanship against the
Senate so far in acting on the Presidents
nominations. Out OF ,750 cases considered
all excepting fourteen have been con-
frmed."
The Times says OF the Senate's new PEN
sion bill: "It is n scheme which has many
supporters, entirely sincere and patriotic,

land is an honest and upright man. He is

The Star says; "If the right OF American
fishermen to buy bait under the statute is
plain, there is no doubt that Mr.. Bayard
viii insist that the rights Of American citi-
zens shall be respected; but Congress ought
to follow his example and refrain from
action until the Admiralty Court decides
the cases now pending before it.p

SOUTHERN NEWS.


Apia, Oct. 15, 1886. The United
States steamer Mohican, with G. NJ.
Bates, arrived here from Tonga on
the Sth inst. During the stay of
this vessel treaty of friendship and
commerce has been made with King
George, and will be forwarded to
Washington by Mr.. Bates for ratif-
cation.
The American flag has been hauled
down, and of course the Greenebaum
protectorate is ut an end. Native
affairs remain about as they were
last reported to you. Both parties
are buying arms but are awaiting
the actions of the Commissioners.
Both parties of the natives express
themselves willing to make friends
and form Government composed
of native and foreign residents, with
an able white man as Premier, the
present Kings to be pensioned off
as Governors of districts. The
difficulty is to get the proper man
for Premier. In regard TO the in
vestigation of the charges made by
the American merchant, residing
here against Consul Greenebaum,
no investigation has taken place.
Mr.. Bates when pressed to go into
the matter thoroughly, declared that
it was not congenial to him, and
that this investigation was only Incl
dental and, he would 60 into it if he
had time, etc. Consul Greenebaum
has got into trouble by causing the
arrest of a British subject, which
may involve the United States Gov
ernment in suit for damages.
Authentic news has reached Sa-
moa, that on the morning of Septem-
Der 10th over one hundred heavy
earthquakes occurred on the Island
of Ninafou, one of the Tonga Group,
and that from the bottom of lake
which had a depth of 1000 feet, u
mountain has arisen to the height of
800 feet above its surface; also,
that this mountain has burst out in
flames and thrown out hot stones
and sand in such quantities as tc
destroy two-thirds of the cocoanut
trees on the island. In Samoa we
are having light shocks of earth.
quakes so frequently now that they
are no longer noticed by the resi-
dents.
In regard to the conclusion ar
rived at by the three Commissioner:
sent here by Great Britain, Ger
many, and the United States, very
little can be leaned. We are Ger
tain that they found that mos
unsatisfactory state of affairs existed
here.

AMERICAN THANKSGIVING DAY.

The President of the United States
of America has designated Thurs
day next. November 25th. as day
of National Thanksgiving. Frank
P. Hastings, Esq, Acting Charge
d'Affaires for the Great Republic at
Honolulu. invites all American citi-
zens soiourning OH these islands to
make due observance of the day, as
a day of thanksgiving and praise, in
harmony with the people of the
United States. The same invitation
is extended to all other nationalities
constituting the general public.
Thanksgiving Day has usually been
commemorated by Americans and
their descendants on these islands
as fully and as earnestly as it at
home in their own country, other
nationalities joining heartily with
them. No doubt, this years Thanks
giving Day will be largely an imita-
tion of the past, the friends and
well-wishers of America cordially
uniting with the American people in
recognition of the day.

SAN FRANCISCO ON HAWAII.

The San Francisco papers TEEN
with matter on Hawaiian affairs. We
reproduced a couple of columns,
yesterday, from the cal and the
Eraminer. To-day we published
an article from the Altu. These
are given as samples, for the be-
nefit of those of our readers who are
not in the habit Of getting the
Coast papers. Much more of a ST.
milar nature might have been given.
But this is sufficient to show how
the public affairs of this country are
being treated of by our neighbors
over the sea. 1t is exceedingly I'M
fortunate that the conduct of mat
ters here should have been of such
a character as to excite unfavOrable
comment abroad. This kingdom is
not in position to ignore the OPT
Mons of the outside world, and cam
not afford to be unfavorably repre-
sented by the foreign press. AL
though there is an admiXture of
error in the representations of the
San Francisco papers, it cannot be
denied that the course of events
here has been such as TO bring the
government of the country into dis
repute, both at home and abroad.
Retrogression is the proper word to
define the recent history OF the
kingdom. We sincerely hope that
those who have the direction of
affairs will see that it is so, and turn
from the backward course before the
independence of the country is gone.
OF this-loss of independence
there certainly is danger. We have
sounded more than one warning
note in this quarter, and have done
so with knowledge of what we have
been talking about.

WnAI The lusu SAYS.

II appears, from an article pub
lished in last number of o L'tSo
Hd,caiio,o, that, since the impor-
tation, on q large scale, of Califor-
MIA wines, the consumption of ar
dent spirits in this country has pro-
portionately decreased, for the rea-
son that the Portuguese are the
principal wine drinkers, and that
having been born to wine drinking,
they resort to the use of spirits
only when they cannot obtain wine.
This is certainly good news, but the
fact that the Portuguese are great
consumers of wines and occasion
ally of alcohol, shows what large
field there is i'm this direction for the
temperance people and members OF
the Blue Ribbon association. Blu,
work in that line will probably soon
be undertaken, as the same LusC
announces that the Y. nj. G. A. il

guesc, quite number of whom

WHAI The "ALIA" SAYS.

During the hurry of the campaign
we noticed the attempt of the Ha-
waiian Government to place a loan
in England for two millions. Aside
from any discussion of the policy of
mortgaging the islands to anybody,
or pursuing wasteful public policy
to the exhaustion of the lush re-
sources of that garden of the Pacific,
the United States have an interna-
tional interest in that kingdom which
cannot be lost sight of. In the mat
ter of English loans the Hawaiians
may read their fate in that of Egypt,
whose coast cities have been burned
with red-hot shots from English
gunboats, because her poverty
smitten people revolted against being
starved to pay the interest on
usurious English mortgage. If the
Hawaiians wish to invoke like fate
let them place loans and bonds in the
Bank of England.
Prosperity came to Hawaii with
her close treaty relations to the United
States. We are not only her neigh
Dor but her friend. England has
sought her absorption for more than
hundred years, and the sinister
representatives of that power have
played subtle part to that end.
Playing upon the potent vanity of her
breech-clouted chiefs the process has
never relaxed, and is now used upon
her King. But amongst the people
of Hawaii are those who do not wish
supervision Of their Government and
destruction of their country by fore
closure of an English mortgage, to
be collected by cannon and hot shot.
The Kings palace might be bonn
barded down around his royal ears,
but even that would bring no pleas
ure to his subjects, abandoned to
slavery by the financial follies of
their Government. The placing of
this loan in England can mean only
one thing. Nobody then would take
it as an investment, for it is ira
vesty upon finance to call it so. II
