A Reply to Mr.. TheO. II. Davies.

A Reply to Mr.. TheO. II. Davies.
Mr.. EDITOR: Mr.. Thee. II. Davies
letter in the ADVERTISER of yesterday is
refreshing depression from the present
trend OF newspaper controversy and in
vites open discussion that the latter dis
courages.
Many believe that the Cabinet made a
mistake in not having the question OF
treaty revision thoroughly discussed in
public before taking action, and also that
the proposed treaty itself put limits on
our independence not as it actually ex-
lists, but as we conceive it to exist, and
therefore makes the Cabinet declaration
for maintenance OF her independence in
violate, etc. Is it not the fact, however,
that if the proposed treaty had gone
through it would have given the United
States no other right than she now claims
and stands ready to exercise at any time.
The proposed treaty it is true would have
given her greater facilities to enforce her
present position by giving her a chance
to inspect beforehand any treaties We
might wish to make, and to be forwarned
is to be forearmed; but after she had
seen any proposed treaty she would by
virtue Of the treaty now under discus
sion have had no power to do one single
act that she does not now claim the right
to do and will do il occasion calls for it.
Mr.. Davies says: The King has the
power to make treaties. 4" Is
it consistent with ''the present indepen-
dent state of this Kingdom, free from alv
control on the part OF any foreign govern
ment," that the King and Cabinet shall
lose the power to make treaties?
Again, assuming, what | do not for the
moment believe, that the United States
Government would consent to guarantee
our independence by itself or by any
foreign power, could they leave the
Foreign Minister whoever be might
happen to be- TO provoke what quarrels
he chose with forei On powers in reliance
on the guarantee OF the United States
Government 70 shield him from the con-
sequence?
g The first condition imposed by the
United States must be the control OF the
Hawaiian Foreign Office
Strip this statement OF the natural ex-
aggeration and one-sidedness OF argll-
| ment and Mr. Davies has stated what is
| practically our present and existing rela-
| ton with he United States to-day. and
Will be, treaty or no treaty, regardless OF

We wish it or not. Ii for instance, a
Chinese or japanese or European fleet
appears OF our coast TO settle differences
| with us, however wrong, however unpro-
yoked our actions may have been, it y i'll
be with the United States that such a
fleet will ultimately have to settle differ
ences, and practically to the same extent
and in the same degree as if the Foreign
Office that had provoked the differences
was hers and not our own The indi-
vidual guarantee OF the United States

our sugar and all our other products
placed permanently by the lnIted States
upon the same footing as her own pro-
ducts of the same kind, is certainly an
end devoutly TO De wished for.
We certainly should be content TO face
the future If we know that We shall have
no other essential or different obstacles
TO contend with than the rice and sugar
producer in the States must meet as
we'll. With him we should be willing to
take pot luck for better or worse. Ii he
can stand an abolition of the duty on
rice and sugar and still live, that is proof
10 us that We can do the same. IL oil
American friend cannot do this, and the
tariff is restored or he is given a bounty,
the United States will have to do the
same by Us.
Ii NAV be said that the United States
4 would never consent TO such PROPOSE
/ ton, but there's nothing like trying for
| ii and certainly there Is no reason why
| Mr.. Davies and others should discourage
| the attempt, or that part OF the attempt
| which is the only lever that can be
used to secure what We want, /. e. a
frank recognition on paper by Us
of existing political relations with our
neighbor Some gentlemen evidently
expect to have our present treaty re-
newed or the larger advantages of the
| proposed treaty secured by simply ask
ing for them, relying doubtless upon the
pleasure of giving, as the only induce
| ment We need suggest to Our neIghoor
for SO doing. These gentlemen expect
the Cabinet to make bricks without
straw, but the truth is We have no right
to expect or ask for the exceptional prl-
| vileges in question except upon the
basis that the claim OF the United States
| upon our political recognition exceeds
that of all other nations and IN turn
| therefore we ask exceptional CONNER
cal recognition that We could not other
wise expect The United States can
hardly expect to hedge in our ambition
to better ourselves by close political and
commercial relations with other powers
if she does not at the same time hold
out to us from her own hands compen-
sating advantages for otherwise her posi-
ton would be unjust and d hardship
upon US.
In conclusion let us hope that the
Ministry so far from receding from their
position on treaty revision, or craw-hsh
ing out of it, will hold TO it through thick
and thin. To stay in office is neither
here nor there. To do what they con
ceive to be for the true and best interest:
of this country whether at present en-
dorsed by the electors or not, is what i:
expected of them Ii their position is
we'll chosen the country will come L
them in time, and meanwhile they car
afford to go out, and if ever their effort:
shall be crowned with success, this
country will doubtless find herself nc
less independent than she is to-day ant
with commercial future as assured ant
certain as it is now feverish and shaky

ABOUT REVOLUTIONS.

The Bulletin, in a late article,
grants the ADVERTISER its scant
need of praise for advocating in
rare fit of candor political honesty.
We are obliged to our contemporary
for the character it gives us. but
must take exception to the strange
application which is made Of our
article. The Bulletin applies it to
the late revolution which it seems to
deplore as, to put it mildly. case of
doing evil that good may come. To
this unexpected application, the
ADVERTISER most earnestly demurs.
The right of revolution stands by
itself-as something extreme, but
morally justifable and needing no
palliation or excuse. A revolution
is simply a transportation of the
sovereign rights which it delegates
to governments indeed, but of which
it never absolutely divests itself.
| Revolutions are never legal, OF
course, but when governments abuse
their powers, and peaceful measures
have failed, they are moral and
right. There is no propriety what
ever in classifying such assertions of
popular sovereignty with the abuse
of the ballot and other political cor
ruption.
Neither are the parallels which
the Bulletin draws from history
valuable or confrmatory of its
peculiar views. The French revolu
ton in particular, in spite of all its
horrors and excuses has been an
unspeakable blessing to mankind
and one of the most important cpl.
sodes in the progress of human soci-
ETY.. England, the home of tenn.
perate and conservative measures.
and peaceful and constitutional re-
forms, has blocked the path of royal
aggression and preserved its liber-
ties by two revolutions.
| Whether the late revolution in
this kingdom was necessary is a
question on which there can be no
absolute unanimity of opinion. But
there can be no doubt that it was a
benefit and great one. We believe
as thoroughly as anyone in the pre-
ferability of peaceful means when
ever such means are efficacious. But
what has been won by force of arms
we must be ready to maintain if
necessary by the same instruments
or there can be no public security.

OUR STREETS.

The rain guages register total OF
nearly ten inches since the 1st of
March. With such a steady down
pour, it is no miracle if the condition
of some of the streets should be any
thing but satisfactory. Beretania
street is succession of impossible
sloughs and standing pools. The
growth of the city has run far ahead
of the resources of the public purse,
and has made demands on the funds
which the appropriations could not
possibly meet. Neither have the

wisely expended, Undoubtedly some
serious blunders have been made.
Road making is an art, demanding
special technical instruction and

amateurs to play at, and as long as
a country is compelled to put it,
work Of this kind into amateur hands
just so long will its public thorough

THE WHEEL6ARROW.
Its Age Is Now Known to Be at Least
 Six Hundred Years.

Its Age Is Now Known to Be at Least
 Six Hundred Years.
 The history of the wheelbarrow is of no great importance in itself, but 1t happens to illustrate well the sources of historical knowledge, and how they yield the facts men desire to know.
 The invention of tho wheelba rrow has been credited commonly to Pasacl, Q French philosopher and writer of about the middle of the seventeenth century. According to Littre's diction- ary of the French language. however, the wheelbarrow was invented by Mir. Dupin in 1869. One or the other of these two accounts has been accepted generally-in France at least whore every useful invention is believed to be of French origin.
 Now 8 writer in the French scientific journal, La Nature, calls attention to an old book printed in 1855, in which Is a curious wood engraving that repre- sents a single-wheeled barrow pushed along by laborer. Another plate of the same book shows Q tramway car running upon rails. This puts the use of the wheelbarrow back more than a hundred years earlier than the time of Pascal.
 Last year, at the exhibition in Paris of carriages of all kinds, it was reported that the origin of the wheelbarrow was to be found in the thirteenth century. In the margin of a manuscript belong ing to that time there is drawing of a man wheeling another person in Q single-wheeled barrow precisely like those in use at the present day.
 In manuscript of the fourteenth century may be seen a wheelbarrow used for the carriage of Q load which looks like bags of grain. Another miniature painting upon a manuscript of the fifteenth century represents a hospital where nuns are attending to the lame and wounded. There is one wounded person who is being brought in on wheelbarrow. This indicates that the vehicle was used to carry the infirm or disabled.
 Still another fifteenth century manu- script shows a wheelbarrow used for moving building materials. As the picture is intended to illustrate the history of Rome, the artist of course saw no want of consistency in repre- senting this vehicle as in use at that early period-and who can say that it was not? The laborer made the work all the easier by the use of a strap which passed over his shoulders.
 At present. then, the wheelbarrow is known to be at least six hundred years old, and not two centuries, as was at one time supposed. The next step is to show that William, the Conqueror, car ried wheelbarrows with him when he moved his quarters across the chan nel from Normandy to England in the eleventh century.-Youth's Companion.

This morning, Mir. Holborne, 2 sounted the money that stood between us. and starvation, and 1t was two dol- lars and forty cents. I have tried in vain to obtain steady employment, since my fathers death. The mantle of his fault" she said, with a ring of the old bitterness, twas supposed to be wrapped about me. No one would trust me. proposed, far moro in earnest than in jest, to invest the forty cents in charcoal and end the tragedy by a deeper one. And now you tell me have five hundred dollars all my ownr
 "Bless the childP' cried the old gentleman, docs she suppose put the money in an old stocking and locked it up? Five hundred dollars! No, no, my dearl turned and twisted 1t, as your father wished, and feally, I took quite a comical interest in watching it roll itself up and come out of every in. vestment with flying colors. l kept 1t quite by itself, and have a detailed memorandum to show you, if you wish, precisely how your christening present became thirty thousand dollars"
 "You are laughing at mer'
 ''No. l am quite serious. The last twenty years have offered great chances for speculation, and you have been fort unate. And remember, it is yours know all. l can speak to you frankly, and tell you this money is your own, gift from friends. Your father never held it in his hands. From your silver cup it went into my pocketl Nowi now! to cry over your good fortunel Poor child! There, cheer up! Bright days are comingp
 But" said Hester, smiling through her tears, surely the money must be yours"
 Not a dollar, not cent of itl It is yours, honestly and fairly. And now, tell me more of yourself"
 There was a long talk, ending in MT. Holborne's promise to call upon Mrs. Wright, and then Hester, with bank bills that took her breath away, dust for present emergencies" her godfather explained, hurried home.
 It had been Harry who had urged a wedding, to givo him right to care for Hester, and Hoster who resisted, refus- ing to burden him. But once estab- lished in what Mrs Wright tearfully called "a homo of their own, once more," 1t was Hester who, blushingly but brave ly, insisted on the ending of her long en- gagement; and there was a quiet we'd ding, at which Mir. Holborne claimed a godfather's right to give the bride away.-Anna Shields, in N. Y. Ledger.
