This, be it understood, is not our state
ment. But how does it square with facts
and the action of these very men and
their associates in private life? Mr..
Carter individually is connected with a
mercantile firm here whose interest in
plantation property in ne Kingdom can
not fall far short, if it does not greatly
exceed, the sum total of the National
debt, and in its various business opera
tons probably represents many times
that sum. Mr.. Waterhouse will not be
offended if We credit him with an equally
prosperous business connection. If,
therefore, these two gentlemen represent
private investments of a satisfactory
character, aggregating many times more
than the total National debt, how can
they possibly lend themselves to the in
furious statements above quoted, and put
forward in a variety of ways for political
effect by the Opposition press and Oppo-
sition candidates? Mr.. Carter is him
self responsible for the misleading state
ment regarding the public debt, although
he may not have reflected at the time on
the injury he was doing his neighbors of
every political opinion in the Kingdom.
The ADVERTISER protests against such

Ously protest if it were adopted by the

The interest on the national debt is
$50, 349 70 year. The rents, water
rates, wharfage, storage and towage
amount to $123,878 SO year; and as
the Esplanade property comes to be
utilized the income from it will largely
increage this amount. Not cent of tax
alton, therefore, is needed to pay interest
on the national debt, nor would there be
any taxation needed if the debt were
doubled.

And here, let us remark, that Mr.. j.
y. Carter and other Opposition candi-
dates sound the same note regarding the
public debt, SO that the editorial COM
ments OF the paper in question are sim
ply epitomizing the campaign speeches
OF these gentlemen. The Opposition
party, therefore, stands before the world
as proclaiming that this country is
mortgaged beyond it's value; that its
present prosperity is fictitious; and that,
In short, it is bankrupt concern trading

debts.
Assuming for moment an impossi-
bic financial position, namely, that every
Government in the world was called
upon to pay its national debt to the pub
lie creditor, and that the surplus pro-
duct of the labor of the inhabitants, as
represented by the exports, was hy-
pothecated for that purpose, the following
curious result would happen:
WOULD BE FREE OF DEBT IN ABOUT
Hawaiian Kingdom, six weeks.
British India, two years.
Russian Empire, three and a half years.
Canadian Dominion two years nine months.
Victoria (Australia), eighteen months.
South Australia, three years.
Queensland (Australia), over three years.
New Zealand, four years and half.
Cape Colony, five years.
Argentine Republic, over four years.
France, four and a half years.
Great Britain and Ireland, three years.
United States, two years.
Spain, nine years.
Holland, one year and half
Sweden, eight months.
Greece, six years.
Egypt, nine years.
Italy, seven months.
This exhibit is not exactly accurate,
but it is sufficiently close for all purposes
Of comparison. When it is borne in
mind therefore that the income derivable
from public property in this Kingdom
yearly about pays two years interest on
the national debt, and that an average
of about six weeks exports would pay
the principal, we are justified in declar-
ing that there is no country in the world
in SO satisfactory financial condition to-
day IA the Kingdom of Hawaii.
T 1t should also be added that the total
assessed value of property in this King
dom was $15, 412 800 in 1885, the public
debt being 81 ,O78, 800, with an annual in
terest charge of $63,349 IS; and yet the
Opposition, by word of mouth and
through its newspaper organs, proclaims
to the world that the country is mort
gagged for more than it is worth, and that
it has neither natural resources nor pros
pective internal developments to enable
/. to sustain it's load of debt. Could any
statement be more mischievous or mis-
leading in its tendency than this one by
the Independent Opposition?
Let us make another comparison to
clinch our position. Assuming the
population of the United States to be
fifty-six millions, the total export of
domestic products per capita for 1885,
according to the Presidents message,
would average $13 in round figures;
while the export per head of the Ha-
waiian population was nearly $l08 in
1885. And yet the United States is re-
garded, 10y virtue OF the magnitude of its
exports of domestic products, to he the
richest country in the world Nay more,
the export value of British produce from
the United Kingdom does not average
over $50 per capita, and with foreign and
colonial produce added, about $40 yearly
Having presented these facts to an in
telligent public, we leave the verdict to
its discernment.

out a shadow of excise for its sweeping
statements, affecting at once the credit OF
our merchants and storekeepers and the
value of property. 1t is not politics in
any sense to adopt such methods;
neither IS it common sense or
common honesty. How is it posi-
bic for the "Great Land Colonial
ton Scheme, Island of Oahu, Kingdom
of Hawaii, ;" for example, to be fiOated,
when the very newspapers which have
commended it as an honest and promis-
ing enterprise, follow their commenda-
ton to investors by the declaration that
the country is already mOrtgaged for
more than it is worth, and that the Ha-
waiian Kingdom at large is without
either natural resources or prospective
internal developments TO sustain its Ma
tional debt of 81 ,O78, 800? Which state
ment is likely to be believed by outside
people who have money to invest, and
who depend upon newspapers in great
measure for the facts concerning the
country in which they are published?
Furthermore, what possible hope is there
of inducing foreign capital to invest in
plantation property in country OF
which such averments are made by re-
sponsible men in their speeches as can
didates for the National Legislature, and
which are repeated in chorus by their
organs in the press? The injury which
the Opposition party is doing and has
done to the commercial and industrial
interests of the Kingdom i'll this relation
cannot we'll be Over-estimated. 1t stands
condemned, from its own words, as pub
lie enemy.

The Mccarthy Safe.

1 will say that took charge of the office on
Wednesday, the 9th instant.
For some days previous, unsuccessful at
tempts had been made by various experts
to pick the lock. On Thursday, further
similar efforts were made with the same re-
snlt by Mr.. Ensign and other noted experts
THAT THE LOCK COULD NOT BE
by force.
On Friday 1 employed the expert of one
of your competitors, who did faithful and
honest work, for that purpose.
On Saturday morning work was begun,
and this morning Wednesday,, FOUR
DAYS AFTER, the expert succeeded in
drilling through the door and opening the
safe.
l consider it was an extraordinary severe
test, much beyond what a burglar could
possibly employ under any circumstances,
and can assure it has inspired me with the
highest confidence in the security of your
Burglar-PrOof Safes, AND THAT YOUR
LOCKS ARE PICK-PROOF AGAINST
THE BEST EXPERTS.
After working for some hours on the lock,

peared in the com bination. Yours, truly

The daily libel, Opposition journal, said
yesterday: ''The country is already
mortgaged for more than it is worth. -
And on the 9th it said, in reference to
our comparison of public debts, that it
was fortunate that this argument twas
not carried far enough to reach the
natural and commercial resources upon
which all these debts were based except
Hawaii, which is, alas an accommodating
debt, without either natural resources or
prospective internal developments to sus-
tain it. The very prosperity we have at
present is dependent upon the caprice of
political changes in the United States. ="
Let property owners, business men and
taxpayers of Honolulu and the Islands
understand explicitly that this attack
upon the public and private credit of the
Kingdom is deliberately made by an Or
position newspaper, published in Homo
lulu, and sustained financially by the OPP
position as a party. IF, therefore, they
md property unsuitable and credits
difficult TO establish on the Coast. ex-
cept upon "cash basis" they will I'M
derstand the cause. The Opposition
party processes torepresent the property,
enterprise and public morality of the
Kingdom. Its declaration of an alleged
TACT is therefore likely to be believed
abroad, and it cannot fail to impair the
credit OF the country when they declare
that 1.-THE country is mortgaged for more
than 1t is worth"-that is, it owes
$l,O7S,5OO of national debt-and that
1t Is without either natural resources or
prospective internal developments to
sustain it,

And here we come to the comparative
ability of the countries named by US
few days ago, and OF the Hawaiian
Islands, to bear their respective debts, a
test which the Opposition organ infers we
were afraid to make. Nothing could be

wall is the only country oil which we

Why Mr.. BigelOW Declined.

1t now appears that the wife of J ohm
Bigelow induced him to decline the Of
fee OF sub.treasurer of New York. A
Washington paper thus quotes prom
inent New York man:
When Mr.. Bigelow went to the sub
treasury and found that he would be-
come custodian of S175, 100000 he
was appalled, at the idea. The i'm.
nlensity OF the responsibility staggered
him. He discussed the appointment
with his wife, and told her of the mill.
ions which would be confded to his
care, whereupon she most resolutely
set her face against his accepting the
place and urged him to decline it. She
pointed out that the anxiety would be
too much for him and it was her plead
ing which induced him to take the
step he did. / know this to be faet.
l have been given to understand on
very good authority that Mr.. sBigeIow,
in his letter to the president, men
toned that his wife was opposed to
his taking the Office and it was. because
his wife's name Was brought into the
matter that his letter was not made
public He was sensitive of the ridi-
Guile which he thought the Republican
papers you'd heap upon him for being
dominated by bis wife, but J. think lie

What Killed Emory A. Storrs.

From the Chicago Herald.
''There goes a young man who won't
live long" said a Madison street bar
keeper, as a. bright, stalwart chap
walked away from the counter.
"What's the matter with him? Oh,
nothing, but he's drinking benedictine.
A man is always a goner if he starts
on that. 1t is a glorious drink, you
know, and goes to the head and makes
q man feel like a little angel on earth,
and all that, but it kills him all the
same. 1t fascinates him and makes
him it's slave, you see. He can't stop
and he keeps on drinking more and
more and pretty soon he goes all to
pieces. Nobody but brain workers
banker after it and it is sure death to
them. Did you know that it was
benedictine that killed Emory Storrs?
Well, it was. A year ago last spring
Emory had braced up and quit drink
ing altogether and st ack to it like q
man and was working like q good fel-
low, when he fell i'll and his doctor
prescribed benedictine as a cordial
and tonic. That settled it. The Sc
ductive stuff took hold of Storrs' brain
and made him it's slave, just as the
doctor might have known it would.
He had quit drinking whisky and Wine,
but he wasn't strong enough to throw
away this seductive liqueur. Why,
I've been told that few weeks before
his death he was in the habit Of drink
ing four or FIVE quart bottles a week
and often one in q day. And his
friends tell me that he was never SO
witty and brilliant as when he had
had about half q bottle.

Gen. StOneman ON Kit KarsOn.

In conversation the other day with
some gentlemen in the Governors Of
flee, says the Sacramento, CAL, Record
Union, the name of Kit Carson was
mentioned. The Governor said: poor
Kit is dead: He was q broad shout
dered, open-hearted, brayefellow. Ire
member his spending few weeks in
our camp in southern California in
1847. The only way we could COM
municate with the national capital
was by messengers on horseback. It
was a. long, dreary, lonesome ride OF
5000 miles, fraught with many dan
gers. Kit was one of those scouts
who thought nothing Of making such
a trip. | taught him to write his
name while he was in camp. Having
been elected O. lieutenant, it was
necessary for him occasionally to
sign papers. l remember he would
insist upon writing it in full
Christopher Columbus Carson-taking
up q whole sheet Of paper in doing so.
Kit was genial, jovial and a. most in
teresting companion. While in camp
we often played seven-up, and practis-
ed shooting the rife together. Kit
could beat me at both, being an adept
at cards and a crack shot. When we
played it was for picayune, and we
shot for the same stake. When Car
son was ready to leave for the East
with his messages, cast up accounts,
and discovered that he was about S.
ahead of me. Our target was small
silver coin, placed in O split in a limb.
/ walked up to Kit and said We'll,
old boy, let's have one last shot. I'll
bet you SIS that lean hit the picayune
at the first shot Agreed said Kit,
and the money was put up. walked
deliberately up to the coin, put the
muzzle OF the gun against it and blew
it to atoms. Kit was the 1naddest
man ever saw for few moments.
He walked about the camp in quite
rage, and denounced my act as
id mean Yankee trick He soon,
however, got over his pet, end seemed
to enjoy the la,Agh as much as any
one, and we parted, as we had always
lived, friends.'
