POSTAL UNION WITH HAWAII.

The following letter appeared in
the San Francisco "Evcning Bulle-
tin of October 6th:---
EDrToR BULLErIN "A closer pos
tai union with the Hawaiian Islands
has been proposed, like that which
has brought Mexico and Canada
into such intimate relations with the
United States. Our 2-cent stamp
will take letter to Quebec or Vera
Cruz-why not to our nearer neigh
bors in Honolulu? Our social re-
lations with the islands are intimate,
and call for many letters of friend
ship from here and from the East to
kindred domicilcd in Hawaii. If
the adoption of the 2-cent rate
should treble the correspondence
(and it probably would within two
years) the Government would lose
nothing by the change.
A reduced rate of postage on our
newspapers and periodicals would
soon increase their circulation among
the foreign residents and also among
the educated of the native popula-
ton.
The business profit may be small
from any possible patronage in SC
small Kingdom, but the good oul
literature may do to the islanders is
unquestionable. American inhu.
ence will be greatly and rightfully
