EUROPE AND THE EAST.

There seems to be every prospect
of peace being preserved in Europe,
in spite of rumors to the contrary.
Germany, England, Austria and
Italy have come to an agreement
upon the Eastern question, and this
united action, or rather the threat of
their united action, will keep Rus
sian intrigue quiet for some time. In
deed it has born fruit already in put
ting stop to the Servo-Bulgarian
war preparations and by nipping the
proposed Cretan instruction in the
bud. With the East in a state of
quiescence there will be no excuse
for disturbance in the West, and it is
highly probable that before the end
OF the year it may be possible for the
great powers to commence a reduc-
ton in their immense ornaments.
This will be an immense boon to all
the continental countries, which are
now terribly weighed down with the
expense of keeping the best ele-
ments of their population idle.

THE COMING ELECTIONS.

It is about time that we should be
thinking of the elections. By we,
is not meant any particular body or
party, but the main mass of indepen-
dent men. One party has a plat
form out, viz: to make every office
in the kingdom elective. It is truly
republican in spirit, and if once the
principle were adapted would lead
to plainly logical conclusion. If
every Office of the government from
a-prime minister and chief justice
to turnkey in the jail is to be
elected by popular vote, why the
very highest Office, viz: that of King
would have to follow. That we
fancy is not the intention of the gen.
tleman who propounds this idiotic
scheme. But it undoubtedly would
be the thing proposed, should he
succeed. However we have not the
slightest idea that he will succeed.
Still such party as the Elele re-
presents has to be reckoned with.
Now what are going to be the is
sues at the next election? The edi-
tor of the Portuguese paper says his
contestants only care about the
Asiatic question. We have shown
that the views of the present Cabinet
are anti-C Chinese. That under the
law, as it at present stands, they are
doing all they can to keep Chinese
away. They may be safely en-
trusted to make the law still more
stringent next Legislature, if they
only have proper majority in the
House to carry out their views. To |
settle the Chinese question we GER
tainly do not need any change in
the cabinet. With the present Cab
met, indeed, we are safe on that
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1889-08-27

point; but with a changed cabinet
we are by no ineans SO safe.
We must all be agreed that the
policy of the Government with re-
gard to roads, bridges and all kinds,
of public works, has been extremely
satisfactory. If, at the outset of
their career, the Cabinet could not
do all that was required at once, it
was not to be wondered at. They
came into an empty treasury and had
to bide their time.
By actual supervision the Minister
of Interior really knows what the
needs of the various districts are.
How long is it since any Minister of
the Interior could claim to know such
needs from personal knowledge?
Economy might be made an issue.
If so, we would claim, and back our
claim by figures, that the present
Cabinet has been as economical of
public money as has been possible
with due regard to public needs, for
true economy is by no means parsi-
mony, though some people try to
prove it so.
In point of fact, the opponents OF
the Government have no good issue
which they can stump upon. They
are narrowed down to personal dis
like. There are a few men here,whe
have no idea of political principle
but who allow personal spite or petty
envy to blind them to the true inter
ests of the country. Such men
would willingly plunge the country
into extravaganza, would put incom-
potency at the helm, simply to crafty
their own malice. And having sue
ceeded in their aim, would turn again
and rend the very creatures they had
used. For such, it is i'll playing the
part OF cat to get the chestnuts out
of the fire.
Thus the patriotic citizen and voter
all over the Islands must see but one
wise thing to do, and that is to give
his full support to representatives
who will in turn support the present
| Government.

FAMINE IN SAMOA.

The cause of the famine in Samoa
is not far to seek. During the fight
ing neither party has attended to
planting, and their money has been
exhausted in purchasing arms and
ammunition. The Samoans are not
through these troubles yet. Having
fairly settled politics, religious ques-
tons are occupying their minds and
the latest news we received was that
there was likely to be religious
war soon. Certainly Samoa is very
far from an earthly paradise.

A TINY STATE.
How the Little Kingdom of Mosquito
Was Founded.

How the Little Kingdom of Mosquito
Was Founded.
The royal family of Mosquito Ter
ritory owes its origin to the shrewd-
ness of the early English traders,
who succeeded to the business of the
buccaneers and freebooters when
the latter were driven from the
Spanish seas. At that period the
Mosces were divided on the ques-
ton whether or not to welcome the
English. The English favored the
friendly portion, aided them in their
fight, and crowned the conquering
chief as king. The royal purple
and insignia comprised a faded red
coat cast off by some lieutenant, a
silver-gilt crown, very large sword
and scepter of moderate value.
The traders pursued the same po-
Icy with lesser chiefs, and such illus
trious names as Lord Nelson, Duke
of Wellington, Duke of York and
Marlborough were handed around
SO freely that along the shore to-day
one feels as if he had dropped into
the most exclusive circles of Bel
gravia. The hold the English got
upon the country has never been re-
linquished, and the mother country
still continues every consular Office
she ever started.
The people of these small towns
are thoroughly children Of nature,
without any form of religion, and
apparently given as much to the
ha of thought as one would ex-
pect to find among the inhabitants
of the unexplored portions of Africa.
They believed in a certain water
spirit, "Lewira," who is represented
as water dog, and in an evil spirit
called "Walusha." Their god of the
high country or mountainous region
back from the coast is represented as
turkey. They have great faith in
their medicine men, whose authority
is often greater than that of the
King, and these gentlemen of the
medical profession always exact one
half of the stipulated price of at
tendance in advance When chill
dren arrive at manageable age
they pair off by agreement among
themselves, and are considered man
and wife until they choose to break
the contract, which they are al
ways at liberty to do, with the pro-
viso of equal distribution of their
fortune. The partition of the estate
is often cause of much trouble, be-
cause it is difficult to balance old
and broken-down mules against a
matched hut, its cooking utensils, a
few banana trees, and a cornfeld:
and the latter the wife always ex-
poets to retain in her possession to
render her more attractive di-
vorcee. When. the parties are un-
able to agree the KING is chosen as
and if his decision is ap-
pealed from, the British Consul's
work is final. It is astonishing what
a reverence these people have inner
tied for England. They still ina
CINE her protectorate over them to
be in full force, and believe it to be
their mainstay against the preten-
sions of Nicaragua. Old King John
was wont to speak of Queen Vic
toria as his royal sister, and rather
pathetically reminded her of his ex-
lstence on her jubilee by presenting
her with a quintal of the finest
selected cacao berries, about all that
his slender purse could stand
n. Y. Times.

'Ir is my opinion that irrigation will be
the means OF doubling the population of
every western state and territory within
the coming ten years." says Gen. John B.
Bowman, of Las Cruces, in the Kansas
City Times. 81 further believe that in the
east, where the raiAfall is heavy, but I'M
certain, irrigation will ultimately be re-
sorted to in order to insure greater regu-
larity of crops. Four-tenths of the area
Of the United States, not including
Alaska, require irrigation. This territory
includes part of California, Texas, Kan
sas, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, all of
Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming,
Montana, and portions OF Dakota and
Washington. Through this vast territory
there flow number of streams with mar
row valleys capable OF cultivation. In
these valleys settlers have taken up their
abode, cities have been built, and now
the cry is for more room. The room is
there, and the only thing needed to make
the broad sunburned plains vie with val
leys is irrigation. The sentiment in favor
OF this method of retaining lands is
growing strong, and / predict that ten
years will witness revolution"
