The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1890-12-05
OUR ROYAL VISITOR.

San Francisco is now entertaining gen.
tleman who occupies position which is
unique in this hemisphere. He is a King
with restricted rights. AS King. kalakaua
compares favoIably with his throned breth-
rem. He is an intelligent, fair-minded man,
who tries to do right in the difficult situation
which it has been his lot to fill. He has had
some controversies with the foreigners who
have undertaken TO develop the sugar in
dustry in the Islands, but no act has ever
been laid to his charge which has told
against his character. or has impaired the
loyal affection which his people have borne
him during the sixteen years that he has
flied the throne. And yet he has had
troubles.
1t was the purpose Of the trainers of the
Hawaiian Constitution of 1887 to take from
King Kalakaua most of his prerogatives. The
control Of the finances and of the army was
taken out OF his hands and placed in those
Of the Legislature. He was granted veto
but his Ministry denied his right to use the
veto except with their consent. They are
appointed by the King, but they must be
removed when the Legislature passes vote
OF want of confidence in them.
The Legislative body is equally anomalous.
It consists of two bodies, house of Mobiles,
q
house OF Representatives, containing twenty
four members. To vote for member of
the House of Mobiles, an elector must be
possessed of taxable property worth $4,000
or have an income of 5000 year. The same
property qualification is required of can
didate for a seat in the House of Mobiles.
An educational qualification is required of
candidates for either house. No property
qualification. is required of candidates for
the lower house, but they must speak
ami write the Hawaiian language. Under
these provisions of the Constitution, all
the Chinese, large proportion of the
Portuguese and the bulk of the Kanakas
were disqualified from sitting in the Legis-
laIure.
The consequence has been a widespread
feeling Of discomfort among the native race.
Practically, power rests with the Amer lean
and English residents who own property.
Tits may be for the best interests of the
islands, but we cannot wonder that the
King chafes under a regime which places
his countrymen in a subordinate station.
The trouble lies beneath the surface. On
every ground of broad craftsmanship. the
Islands ought to be territorial dependency
of the United States. There would probably
be difficulty in securing the assent of the
signers of the Tripartite Treaty to their an
nexation to this country. 1t would probably
also be difficult to persuade Congress to pass
an act annexing them. In addition to the
treaty, the objections which were urged
when Denmark wished to sell us her West
India island and when Grant negotiated
the purchase of Dominica would still exist.

THE SECOND FOUR HUNDRED.

The New York Sun seems impreSse
with the idea that the Four Hundred. as the
most exclusive circle of society is called, is
clearly distinguishable from any other circle
of society. The Sun says:
II is peculiar in being distinguishable that
1t Is recognized a distinct and measurable
body throughout the Union, with leaders and
characteristics OF national reputation and inter
est. Money, OF course, is Its prime motor. 1t is
like The steam which sets an engine going. Lux
uIy and elegance are its necessary attributes;
but IL could not exist If it did not have some
thing more, il IL was moi also animated by social
grace and shaped by social cultivation.
The assumption is that a few hundred
people in city containing million and a
half have become so noticeable among their
associates that the distinction of special
designate is warranted. Money is a requi-
site TO families moving in this circle, but it
is claimed that money is but one of several
essentials. Ii money was the only test of
merit, the Four Hundred circle would easily
be made up. But money is but one consid-
Grafton. Members of the -Four Hundred
must also possess especial personal quail
ties to become, rs our New York contempt
rary claims that they are, SO distinguish
able that they are recognized as a distinct
and measurable bo1y throughout the
Union. Now there is much reason to doubt
if this recognized -Four Hundred are in
New York or other American cities dis
tinguishable from the second or the third
four hundred. The first four hundred may
possess greater aggregate of wealth than
any other four hundred, but it does not
follow that they are distinguishable in other
respects Beyond certain point wealth
does not count. The requirement IS enough
to enable a family to spend as much as they
please. The S5,000,00 or $4,000, 600 serves
its purpose as well as the $500, 000 Of the
Astors or Vanderbits. The excess of reye-
nues over expenditures does not count in
The estimate of social equipment. Hundreds
of families in New York do not spend all
their incomes, for the simple reason that a
half or 4 third suffces. Now with so many
who have money enough, it is hardly rea-
sonable to suppose that there should not be
a circle of society without the Four Hun
dred as elegant. as intelligent and as we'll
bred as the individuals composing the Four
Hundred. Secure position in society may
impart certain air TO its members, but this
air may be acquired also by persons who
ornament the second four hundred. Being
shut out of the entertainments of the first
four hundred does not imply inferiOrity; it
implies that there was not room enough for
all who were personally entitled to get in.
The left OUT form another circle equal in
every respect, except perhaps in the excess
Of wealth, to the circle which from its lead
ership in the matter of money is designated

FANCY FIGURES.

A Democratic contemporary is drawing
upon its Imagination for figures to show that
the Republicans will bank upt the treasury.
a glance backward should set our contempo-
rary's apprehensions at rest The finances
of the Government were in a pretty bad way
when the War Of the Rebellion came TO an
end, but the Republicans of that day were
equal to the task of meeting the enormous
obligations of the public debt and of carry
ing on the Government. Some of the men
who stood at the helm in those trying days
are still in public life, with faculties unim-
paired. The only financial panic which has
made itself manifest in Government circles
in the last quarter of a century was that ex-
perienced by Cleveland, when he contem-
plated the surplus which had accumulated
under preceding Republican administra-
tons and as the result of Republican meas

THE WOMEN WIN,

Some days since THE CALL commented
upon the apparent Indifference which
women had shown as to their admission
as lay delegates to the Methodist General
Conference. Later intelligence indicates
that in the West and South women had
been more active than in the large Eastern
cities. The Philadelphia Methodist says
that enough returns have been received to
show that women have carried the day.
The action of the women on this PROPOSE
ton was considered as in some measure
test OF their views on the broader PROPOSE
ton that they take an equal part with man
In the responsibilities Of government.
Probably before many years there will be
an informal vote taken to determine the
views of a majority of adult women on the
latter proposition.

PATTISON FOR PRESIDENT.

Pennsylvania politicians say that the
Democrats of that State win present the
name Of Governor Pattison to the Demo-
cratic National Convention as a candidate
for the Presidency. 1t seems, however, that
Pattison is exposed to the charge that has
often been urged against Governor Hill of
New York-that he succeeded where his
ticket failed. Pattison was elected Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania in November, but
Mr.. Black. candidate for Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor on the same ticket, was badly beaten.
In 1883, it will be remembered, Governor
Hill had run of the same kind of luck.
He was elected on the State ticket, while
the Presidential ticket was several thou.
sand votes short. If Governor Pattison is
required to prove that his dealings with his
associate were entirely fair may not Gov
ernor Hill also be required to prove that he
did the right thing by the national ticket in
1855?

Departure OF the First Infantry
Regiment.

At an early hour yesterday morning the
First Regiment, United States Infantry, de-
parted for the scene of the Indian troubles.
They were conveyed to the Oakland Mole
from Angel Island by the Federal steamer
General Mcpherson, which was required to
make two trips. They were all in excellent
spirits. and not at all cast down by the sud-
den call to the post of danger, for this regi-
ment has been engaged in territorial cam
paisning before, and has had more than
one serious brush with the Indians
Other companies Of the regiment are to be
picked up at Benicia Barracks and Fort
CASTOR en- route.

HILL DECLINES.

An Albany special confirms the report
that Governor Hill has declared that he will
not accept the nomination for Senator. 1t is
quite possible that this decision was induced
by the report that the Farmers Alliance
could not be brought 10 the support of Mr..
Cleveland. The Democrats lean heavily on
the alliance. IL no Democratic candidate
should appear whom the alliance can sup
port, several States would be doubtful
which the Democrats have regarded as GER
tain for their ticket. The aim of the leaders
Ill Washington apparently is to blend the
Democrats and the alliance together. To
succeed in this, the Democrats will have to
put forward candidate who is not identified
with New York politics.
