OUR POLITICAL FUTURE.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-Nearly all
residents of the Hawaiian Islands
will agree with me that these fair
isles of the sea will have political
future" and that its conditions will
differ very materially from those of
the present time. 1t is therefore
quite legitimate subject to specu-
late upon; and it depends very
much upon "new light" and i'm
portant facts given that bear upon
the matter, whether public interest
may attach TO the discussion.
The political independence of
these Islands may continue for a
long period, if wisely managed by
those to whose care it may be in
trusted; but, at the same time, it
must be always liable to extinction
from variety of causes beyond the
control of our Solons and resident
rulers, and / wish to confine my
present remarks to the nature of
these causes.
AT the present time there is a
movement ON the part of the United
States government for the peaceable
annexation of Canada, or certain
portions of that dominion and, were
such a movement successful, the
question of guild pro quo might
seriously affect the independence of
Hawaii nei.
Again, should any trouble arise to
cause war between the United States
and Great Britain, these Islands are
situated in position where they
would be of great advantage to the
one of these nations that would
have, at the time, the strongest navy
in the Pacific Ocean. In that case
there would doubtless be immediate
seizure.of the Islands, and Hawai-
ian independence would be gone for
ever.
Other International quarrels and
questions that may arise among the
leading naval powers of Europe
may also have bearing upon the
question of jurisdiction over this
group, and its political independence
may be threatened from theselcauses
In short, International wars between
strong naval powers would al
ways be fruitful sources of danger
to the independence of these
Islands.
Apart from wars or even unfriend-
illness between other nations, there
are peaceful causes at work which
must at no distant date efface the
autonomy of Hawaii mel. AS fal
back as history reaches and up L
the present date, the tendency o.
strong nations has been TO swallow
up weaker ones; and there neve
was a time when strong nation

A CARD OF THANKS.

1 hereby tender my most sincere
and hearty thanks to Drs. McKibbin
and Wood for their skilful and sue
cessful amputation and treatment of
my injured arm; to Mr.. j. F.
Eckart, purveyor of the Queens
Hospital, for his invariable kind at
tention to me during my stay in that
institution; and to the general help
at the hospital. 1 have, and can
have, nothing but words of praise
and gratitude in relation to the
Queens Hospital and everybody
connected with it. 1 could not pos
sibly have been treated with more
tender care and kindness in the
bosom of my own family than 1 was
in the Hospital, during my twelve
days stay there. l have now re-
turned to my home in Manoa Valley,
where 1 shall be glad to see my
friends. A. A. MONTANA.

thirsted for and annexed more terri
tory than has been the case during
the past thirty years. 1t may also
he noted that these conditions of
usurpation and ambition, on the
part of strong nations, are on the
increase, and very soon the whole of
the numerous groups of islands in
the Pacific will be parcelled out
among the leading powers of Europe,
if the present tendency in this direc-
ton continues. More than half the
area of Polynesia is already under
the flags of European powers, and
the balance is under consideration
for similar fate when convenience
or necessities may arise. These are
all well known facts to readers of
newspapers and students of recent
annexations in this ocean, and the
game is played with q force that
cannot be resisted successfully.
In proportion to the increase of
commerce on the Pacific will the
value of the Hawaiian group be en-
HANGED, owing to the commanding
and central position which it occu-
pies; and this quality would natur-
ally bring about the annexation of
the group by some naval power
when circumstances warrant the
step.
Besides external dangers which
threaten the political independence
of Hawaii nei, there are domestic
forces at work which are calculated to
hasten similar fate. The abort
ginal natives are now reduced to
less than moiety of the population
and the rule of the native race is
only of the merest nominal char
acter. The sentiment which gave
rise to the permission for the Islands
to be politically independent, is
therefore weakened materially; and
could not now be expected to stand
in the way of annexation tendencies
that may be directed hither. Our
commercial treaties, in favor of one
nation, are not looked upon with
favor by other nations; especially
when these conventions lead to dis
examinations regarding import duties.
A nation to be practically independ-
ent requires to be possessed of the
power to resist invasion; and, as
Hawaii has nothing Of that kind,
her independence is supported by
the jealousy that exists among the
naval powers; "if 1 can't have the
cherry you shan't." 1t will be ad.
mitted that this is most insecure
tenure; and it, combined with The
causes set forth in the first portion
Of this article, points TO the fac
that these islands are not really in
dependent but liable to he gobblet
up at any time by some nation
which would find the annexation
advantageous.
OF course, we all desire that th,
Hawaiian Islands may remain neu
trail as they are; but it is we'll tt
know the conditions of Hawaiian
political independence, and it,
tenure should be more general,
understood than it is.
/ should like to read the opinion
of other persons upon this subject

RATS IN COURT.

Monday morning there was great
joy in the clerks office of the SUI
preme Court, on account of an i'm
portant "catch" having been made.
For some time past sad havoc has
been made among the law books by
rats. Quite number of volumes
have been partly destroyed by these
pests. The last thing they tackled
was a bound copy of the Laws of
1888, the only parts left complete
being the election and military laws,
which were evidently too much for
their ratships' digestion. Nice per-
fumed cakes of soap, the property
of the Judges, were found on the
floor, close by hole from which
the rats entered the room. The
clerks got their heads together and
decided to put stop to the antics
of these rats. A messenger was
despatched to the Pacific Hardware
Company's store for three of their
warranted to CATCH rat traps.
They were placed in position in the
Courtroom, and on Monday morn
ing three sleek looking rats were in
the traps. One of the clerks was sc
nervous IN handling one Of the traps
that he let the rat escape, and nc
doubt by this it has given the hint
to its other companions, to keep out
of the Courtroom, anyway for the
present. The other two rats are nc
more.

was charged this morning with as
sault and battery on married wo-

any provocation. Police Justice

put a stop to such conduct and SEN
fenced Kamanu to thirty days. i'm

WHENEVER John Chinaman, (whc
is not always asleep when his eyes are
closed) signifies his appreciation Of
passing political events by the usual
means of approval, the Republican
newspapers at once charge that he has
been induced to do it by some Demo.
crat, to prejudice sentiment against
the Republican Presidential ticket. II
10 indeed unfortunate that Mr.. Har.
rison's record should be 90 vulnerable
and Of such a nature and 80 well
known as to place his advocates upon
the defensive from the beginning Of the
campaign. They are, however, equal
to the occasion. The adroitnese with
which they endeavor to turn the tables
on their Democratic neighbors is
amusing, if not exactly honest. As
honesty is not necessarily a factor of
Republican methods for promoting
success, however, it is by no means
surprising that the charge is made
with promptitude that indicates a
prearranged understanding of the
course TO be pursued in such emergen.

Capt. Parker's Letter.

For several days past the Seattle
Post Intelligencer has had much to
say, editorially and otherwis e, respect
ing the alleged libelling OF the
steamer Fleetwood by Capt. G. H.
Parker, handling that gentleman in
very harsh manner, to say the least.
Capt. Parker, therefore, feeling that
he had been placed before the pub
tic in false light, makes the follow
ing explanation, which appeared in
the ost-Intell:gencer of Wednesday:
SEATTLE, July 10.
To THE EDIToR:-Capt. Hatch and
the Post Intelligencer seem to think
that the o. r. & N. Co. and myself es
an employee, have done very shabby
act. You say that employees and
spies of the o. R. & N. Co. libeled the
steamer Fleetwood. Not so; 1 will tell
you how happened to get mixed mp
in that affair, in reference to which
you give me such a hard name, both
in your local and editorial columns.
l was standing on the dock at Ia
coma one Sunday with some friends
at the time the Fleetwood arrived.
She had quite number of passengers,
and some Of my friends said: Let's
see how many passengers she has."
Thereupon we began to count them.
I didn't see any particular harm in
doing 80. Capt. Hatch, however, who
noticed me counting the passengers
shouted in an insulting tone, which
attracted the attention of every one
to me, "Well, Parker, how many have
we :" The tone and manner ofspeak-
ing nettled me somewhat, and l an
swered: "You have more than you
would carry if were one of the in
spectors."
He said no more and / started to
move away, Wien Mr.. Crooke. Gus
tom House officer, stepped up to me
and asked what / had said and if l
had counted Capt. Hatch's passengers.
1 told him what had said and that
had counted something over
hundred passengers. l also told him
that if he wanted to know how many
she had, to count them himself.
That was the Inst I heard of the
matter until last Friday morning.
This is my whole connection with the
matter. I have fled no charges
against the Fleetwood or her owners.
G. H. PARKER.
