The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1890-09-12

none OF the other foreign represent
stives appear to have informed their
Governments of the approaching
dissolution of the Hawaiian mo-
narchy. This is the more remark |
able, %, from the Admirsrs inter
view, Major Wodehouse, the British |
Commissioner, is suggestively iden-
tiled with The revolutionary move
ment, in the belief that return to
to the old regime might prove bene-
fetal to English financial interests.
This is 8 remarkable statement to
make, inasmuch as it has been
tacitly understood here that the
British Commissioners did not disap-
prove of the movement of 1857 which
destroyed the old regime; but he
has probably changed his mind since
then. At least this is the fair in
ference TO be drawn FROM Admiral
Browns interview, which, as has
been already stated, has not been
| disavowed or modified in any way.
Perhaps these two distinguished
gentlemen can explain in what way
English capitalists could be bene-
flied by revolution in the Hawai-
| ian Islands while American and
German capitalists would be injured.
Capital is VIGOROUSLY without patrio-
tism or nationality, and takes fright
at civil tumult anu revolution. What
would hurt American investments
would quite as seriously affect
French, German and English invest
ments; therefore there must be some
other motive than the hops of in
creasing English financial influence
to explain the British Commits
sioner's sympathy with an alleged
revolutionary movement, that is, If
there is anything in the statement at
all, or if, indeed, Admiral Brown
ever made it.
But there is one thing OF which
there is not shadow of doubt.
The published interview with Adj
miral Brown has very seriously in
jured the business interests of the
Islands. There is an end for the
present and for sometime to come,
Of any great tourist movement.
This is the more unfortunate mas.
much rs quite an interest in the
Hawaiian tour had been worked up
all over the United States, and the
outlook in this direction was very
promising. or course people will
not visit, for pleasure, any place
which is reported by such a high
authority as being on the brink of
revolutionary outbreak, in which
race antipathy may lead to the
greatest excuses. Then again,
merchants are inclined to be timid
about shipping goods to the Islands
under such conditions. Altogether
the incident is unfortunate in every
way. If Admiral Brown was i'm
posed upon and gave currency to
false information the source of such
information should be sought and
publicly censured. If, on the other
hand, the information was correct,
too great praise cannot be accorded
TO the United States Government
for dispatching the Charleston to
Honolulu to assist in protecting life
and property ut q time when her
presence was needed in our own
waters in view of probable compii-
cations arising out of the Behring
Sea dispute. But in any event, this
incident should impress upon all
parties in the Hawaiian Islands the
necessity for adhering strictly te
lawful and constitutional methods
for redress Of grievances, instead OF
to revolutionary consplracies anc
movements, which inevitably bring
evil in their train and create feel
ing of unrest and disposition tc
turbulence long after the object:
for which the original movement
