Treaty Affairs.

Mr.. EDITOR: In view of the distrust
and jealousy of the United States, which
is sedulously fomented by certain dema-
gogues among US, it may be worth the
while to reprint the following extract
from despatch of Hon. Luther Sever
ance, then United States Commissioner,
to His Elk. r. c. Wyllie, under date of
September 3, 1858:
"The agreement or joint declaration,
of November 18th, 1913, that neither
Great Britain nor France would take
possession of these islands, as a protec-
torate, or otherwise, was credltable to
those powers. The Government of the
United States was not party to the en-
gagement, neither was Kamehameha

by their naval forces, had both made

were far greater here than those of any,

its own revenue laws, regulate its own

Mr.. Davies Replies to Hawaii
Mr.. EDITOR: I have read with
respectful attention the letter of your
correspondent Hawaii" and have
endeavored to recognise, in his quo
tations from my letter, the exact
words which appeared in the original
letter. In this endeavor I have not
succeeded.
But it seems to me that instead OF
describing "Hawaii's" letter as ga
reply to Mr.. Theo. III. Davies" it
should be entitled "a discourse on
topics suggested by q perusal of Mr..
Davies letter"
I wrote distinctly,
If the Hawaiian nation is pre-
pared to give up the right to make
treaties and to conduct foreign cor
respondence, that is another matter .
This other matter / did not dis
cuss, and as your correspondent dis
cusses no other, but simply chal-
lenges the accuracy Of the Minis
terial declaration, I do not think /
have any present discussion with
him, whatever geographical express
sion he may consider an appropriate
veil.
May l add that there is good
deal of unwritten law and unwritten
power in the world that had better
remain unwritten?

The third contention of the Bull
letin has perhaps more plausability.
This is question involved. Is it pos
sible for anyone believing the capi-
tai to have been and to be unduly
influential in the government of the
country to support the Reform
party in preference to its namesake?
Or to state the matter more defin-
itely still, can man think the influ-
ence of capital too strong in the Re
form party and yet IN spite of this
conviction and give that party his
conscientious support.
This is a question in which the
ADVERTISER has a special interest Of
its own. It happens that we are very
strongly persuaded that the infu-
ence of capital has been too strong,
and that this element has had more
than its share of influence in the
councils OF the Reform party. Is
such a conviction then inconsistent
with conscientious support of that
party! In the case under discussion
the Bulletin simply assumes that it
was without offering a single proof
or advancing single argument to
substantiate such view.
This is certainly very loose think

Ma. EDITOR: Mr. Theo. ii. Davies, |
by Isis communication iii the ADVERTISER
OF March 18th, seems to fear that the
United States will make Zanzibar or
an Egypt of Hawaii He can put him
self fully at rest on that subject. There
is not the slightest disposition or tend
ency on the part OF the United States to
treat Hawaii as Egypt, Zanzibar, and
India are being dealt with hy European
Powers. The United States has not the
most distant wish 10 encroacl, on the
rights and interests of its commercial
or political allies; nor on the part OF the
public men OF Hawaii is there the most
distant thought of doing anything to in
fringe ON the autonomy Of their native
or adopted country. But Mr. Davies
ought to NOW, il he does not know, that
the kingdom of Norway is allied to
Sweden on terms of exact equality,
that the government and autonomy Of
the former are absolutely distinct from
those of the latter, while the foreign re-
| lations Of Norway are managed in Stock
holm through Norwegian Minister re-
siding in the Swedish capital that Hum
gary, one OF the proudest and freest ma
tons of Europe, is allied with Austria,
that Hungary has perfect control of its
autonomy and government, while its
foreign relations are managed at the
Austrian capital through Hungarian
Minister; that the autonomy of the
Dominion of Canada is under her own
control, though her foreign relations are
managed by the British Foreign Office
in London Though the Dominion o
Canada is not SO completely indepen'
dent as Norway or Hungary, MIR. Davies
would hardly wish to say that the Eng
lish Government has made an Egypt OF
Zanzibar of Canada. One thing i.
clear and beyond dispute, that the
United States will never impose govern
ors on countries outside of its own do
main and could not be driven to make
an Egypt or Hongkong of other ma
tons, but there can be no doubt that boil
the United States and Hawaii know how
to manage their own affairs, and viii
always insist on their right to selec
their own commercial and politica
allies. X. Y. z.

ing and very loose writing even Tor
the columns OF daily paper
The reasons why the ADVERTISER
in spite of its views on the relations
Of capitol and labor, has supported
and continues to support. the Reform
party are briefly as follows:
IL An inner transformation is go
ing on in the Reform party, by which
it is becoming more popular, as
reference to the list of nominees will
prove.
t2) The National Reform party IS
not, either In its declaration OF prin-
ciple, or in the personnel of its can
didates, the party of labor against
capital.
(3.) No matter how much we may
deplore the excessive influence OF
capital, intelligent sympathizers with
labor rarely belong to labor parties
because such parties are generally
controlled by political adventures or
demagogues.
In the above statement we OF
course make no mention of the mum
erous positive reasons for our sup
port of the Reform party, four issue
of February 9Th stated ten such),
but have confined ourselves to mega
tive considerations only.
/ But why multiply reasons? 1t is
absurd to contend that because we
believe party to be Influenced by
capital one must necessarily with
draw ones support from it, and ar

ously takes such ground is securely
perched on a pinnacle OF folly be

LUCK IN COPPER BOLTS.
a Chance Discovery Lays the Foundation
Of q StevedOre's Fortune.

4 Chance Discovery Lays the Foundation
Of q StevedOre's Fortune.
The fortunes of some men have their
foundation in very queer incidents. Elmer
A. Barton, Of Duluth, Mimi, says the Chi
cago Herald, is comparatively a wealthy
man. while fifteen years ago he was a day
laborer getting q Job whenever he could
unloading vessels, or any thing, in fact, he
could find, but work around the docks was
what he most looked after, and this fact
was indirectly the cause of his streak of
luck. Lying outside the harbor of Duluth
was the nearly submerged hull of O vessel
No one appeared to know how long it had
been there, but "the wreck" as it was
called, was considered one of the features
Of the place. The boys used it as SWIM
ming station, and it was a proud day tor
many Duluth boy when he could say he
had been able to reach ''the wreck" This
was another link in the chain of Barton's
luck. de had son who, with the other
boys, made daily excursions through the
summer out to the old hulk, and one day
this son brought back with HIM one of the
bolts and piece of wood that had become
loosened. By chance the father saw the
bolt, and he asked the boy some questions,
the result being that he himself
made Q trip out to the wreck in
small boat, taking an axe with
him. After this excursion, Mr. Barton be-
gan making inquiries about the old boat, but
could get no information as to when she ar
rived there, or when she was sunk, or
where she came from. He also managed to
get permission from the authorities to re-
move it, the permission being the more
readily gwen as it was in the way of some
proposed harbor improvements. Mr. Bar
ton began his work quietly-Ipaking no stir
about it. He managed, by the aid of long
saws, loDg-handled axes and hooks, to de-
tach piece after piece and get it ashore,
piling it up in the yard that surrounded his
cabin. 1t took him nearly the entire year
Of 1874 10 do this work, but it proved profit
able job. That bolt the boy had brought
home was solid copper, and it opened the
fathers eyes to the possibilities. His in
vestigAtion showed him that all the bolts in
eightWere OF the same metal, and when he
had completed his labor he had secured
many hundreds of pounds in weight Of
valuable copper. BESIDES this, he had in
the cords OF wood piled up on -. .- LOT q value
that proved great surprise to him. The
vessel had evidently been of foreign build.
Tor she was composed of number of differ.
emit and valuable woods, the bulk of 1t being
teak, specie Of oak, but there were large
quantities of mahogany, some rosewood and
little ebony. Altogether it was a good
years work. He found ready market for
his copper bolts, and the wood going OF
piece by piece brought him nice little sum.
It was this money that gave him his start in
life, and he was shrewd enough to make
each dollar multiply and increase.

But the queerest thing about the whole
subject is that the pushing does not push.
The wines that are advertised in this way
do not have the vogue after all, and to-day

ton Is brand that has never been pushed
at all 1t looks as though the good fame of a

Wine pushing is not carried on in any
other country, and seems likely to die out
here. 1t was originated by a"good fellow''
about town who had tremendous ac.
quaintance with the politicians of the city
in Tweed's time. He ran the sale of one
wine up to figure higher than any one in
the business had ever dreamed of its reach
ing, and he got $4,000 year for his work.

for champagne IN every politicians mouth
