from traitors, if it makes beggars of
US.
Very well. If that is saving the
country the country is saved, and our
high minded patriots may congratu-
late themselves on the success of
their disinterested efforts. The OBJ
iectionable clause is dropped, and 1t
is proposed to ask the United States
for everything, without making even
the pretence of offering anything in
return.
In our opinion, the whole objection
to treaty, merely because it gives
the United States a knowledge of
our intention to negotiate with other
powers, is hollow and frivolous.
Such provision does not as mat
ter of fact, affect Hawaiian Indepen-
dence in the slightest. 1t does not
restrain our liberty of action, even
in the realm of foreign affairs, in the
smallest particular. 1t leaves us the
fullest autonomy to which any small
state can ever lay claim.
As matter of fact no small power
can have any real independence in
foreign affairs. Every such state
exists by the sufferance of the great
powers. Its sovereignty is virtually
confined to its own borders. Its in
dependence consists, and must for
ever consist, in the power to manage
it's domestic affairs. The wall over
the loss of independence in matters
of foreign policy is simply humbug.

$3O,000,000 invested in plantations,
or coolie labor. Either alternative
would be fatal both to the laboring
man and to our civilization gener-
ally Planters can look to this
future with callous Indifference.
They can employ Chinese to work
their plantations, and spend their
princely incomes in Europe. The
white laborers have no such agree
able alternative. They are threat
ened with extinction. The expert
ence of other countries in our situa-
tion proves that. The intelligent
laborers of this Kingdom ought to
avert these threatening possibilities,
and one way to do it is to seek closer
commercial connection with that
Paradise of the free laborer-the
American Union.

CABLE MATTERS.

The successful laying of the inter
island cable between Oahu and
Molokai, which has been an
nounced adds another link to
the chain which promises to bring
the five larger islands of our group
into daily intercourse with each
other. Maui and Molokai have for
several months been connected by
cable, and as soon as the telegraph
poles are erected, and the wires
stretched over the remaining ten
miles of Molokai, daily communica-
ton can be had between Honolulu
and Wailuku on Maui.
The advantage which attends the
telegraph in other countries will
soon be as apparent here as there,
and in hundred ways which may
not now be thought of. The move
ments of vessels, their cargoes and
passengers, may be known here as
soon as in the ports they arrived at
or leave. In case of accidents to
mills, repairs can be made in half
the time that is now required, and
long delays, with their attendant
losses, avoided. In short, we may
know what is transpiring every day
on each of the islands connected by
cable with u.s.
A foreign cable, however, will
create a much greater change in our
isolated condition. 1t will make of
Honolulu central call port for
shipping, where captains and agents
can receive orders from their owners,
and in this way often save consider
able amounts. It will also increase
the number of tourists tenfold, and
many active business men will come
who now do not care to go beyond
the reach of the telegraph. They
want to keep within daily communi-
cation of their firms and families,
and know that all is well, or be able
to direct in case of mishaps. The
business of a cable would be largely
increased by its daily use by trav
elers, more than is generally sup
posed. At least it is so elsewhere.
Let us then have the foreign cable
with all its attendant gains. And
those who have the cable bust
ness in hand cannot push on the
work too fast. It will pay.

]. E. BUSH'S METHODS.

There is one feature of Mr.. John
E. Bush's political methods which
every honorable journalist must con-
denim. and that Is his persistent,
malignant and continuous abuse OF
the Rev. Henry Parker. 1t is not
merely the fact that Mr.. Parker is a
man of unimpeachable purity and
integrity, man who commands the
respect of the whole community. He
is entirely out of public life, is not a
candidate nor a campaigner. He
goes his own private way. The con-
slant abuse, misconstruction and IN
suit to which Mr.. Bush subjects
him. week after week and month
after month, is not merely utterly
uncalled fort is utterly unac-
countable.
In any other country such conduct
would not only kill its author politi-
cally, but would make him odious
and would bury him under noun
tain of contempt.

Millinery Display.

Mr.. n. S. Sachs of the Popular Millin-
ery House may we'll be proud of his
Easter display of millinery, for there is
undoubtedly a handsome line of goods
embracing the latest novelties. Steel
trimmings and FURNISHED tinsels arevery
stvlish this season. The colors most in
use are yellow and black, while dahlias
of different colors are the prevailing
flower, though black roses and butter
cups in velvet are much sought after.
Many inquiries have been made for the
new shade OF blue, and this house has
filed large number of orders, in fact,
Mr.. Sachs does not remember an Easter
when he was so busy in the millinery
department. This may be accounted for
in the fact that it is presided over by
Miss M. Kelly, lady who displays ex-
cellent taste, and who never iails in CIV
ing satisfaction to her patrons. There is
a full line of French toques, Neapolitan
braids. lace straw hats and Leghorn
fats for children. This beautiful stock
should be examined by the ladies.

been the curse to Hawaiian develop
ment but the unscrupulous foreigner
who has never scorned to play on
the weaknesses of the simple and
ignorant, who has stopped to SOW
the dragons teeth of jealousy,
hatred, prejudice and suspicion IN
order that an army might spring up
to execute his purposes. This is a
character nothing new in Hawanan
history. You are simply the recur-
renee of an old type, Antishamus.
Shame on you Antishamus, you
can write English intelligently, you
seem to have wit, you can quote the
Pandects in English. You might
serve your country. Why will you
lend yourself to the business of cir
culating slander, giving currency to
unjust inuendoes inventing the
pseudo-criticism of which you your
self best know the hollowness. You
think you can ride better than the
gentlemen who now hold the reins.
Perhaps so, but get yourself into the
saddle by fair means.

BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATIONS.

The Prospectus of the Pioneer
Building and Loan Association OF
this city has been published, and it
will cause satisfaction among the
initiated to know that so useful an
enterprise is we'll underway. An
article on the subject was lately
published in these columns. There
are some intricacies in the matter,
and most of our readers we fancy,
have the vaguest of notions or none
at all, as to what Building and
Loan Association actually is. For
the edifcation of such it may be
stated that it is simply co-opera-
tive society to enable people of small
means to get home of their own.
The fund is simply the collective
savings of the members. To the
subscribers who do not borrow the
society offers good investment.
To borrowers, it insures a favorable
loan on easy terms as to payment.
1t is virtually an arrangement by
which tenants rent is applied to
the purchase of the premises.
As an encouragement to thrift
and industry, the value of such an
association can not easily be over
estimated. Its success here as else
where will be dependent simply on
the zeal and energy with which the
enterprise is followed up. We most
earnestly hope that it will work as
satisfactorily as it has in the United
States.

TREATY MATTERS.

When the first serious news came
from the Coast relative to the pos
sible removal of the duty on sugar,
the Bulletin congratulated the coun-
try on having defeated the Minister
ial attempt to tie us to the United
States and make it impossible to
treat with other powers. We pass
over the false assumption that the
proposed treaty affected our power
to treat with other governments, in
order to come the quicker to the par
ticular inquiry as to what salvation
the Bulletin thinks treaty with
some other power will assure US. OF
course if, whenever we lose the bene-
fit of tariff and treaty, all we have to
do is to negotiate treaty with Eng
land or Portugal, or China, and if
this will be enough to make frowning
fortune smile blandly again, we may
cease to bother about the Treaty and
the Tariff, we can abuse the United
States at our ease.
The Treaty is pre- eminently a
practical matter and one of general
concern. 1t is exceedingly desirable
in such case not to divide on mere
party lines. We certainly are anxi-
GUS not to draw it into the range of
the average newspaper squabble.
We are ourselves aware of but one
contract which we could enter into
with any foreign power which could
avert the consequences of a sugar
collapse. The only treaty would be
one with China or England to enable
US to food the country with coolies.
The Bulletin is supposed to be a
popular paper, the workingman's
paper Surely in this capacity it
must deplore the resort to such labor
as this. It must desire to do every
thing in its power to avert such a
catastrophe to the workmen. For
ourselves we prefer to draw closer
the commercial tie with the United
States, as the best means of insuring
the permanent prosperity of free
labor to this country.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1890-04-08

We have touched but lightly on
the moral aspects of treaty connec-
ton with America. Our discussion
hitherto has been confined almost
exclusively to the financial side of
the case, to the side which unfor-
tunately touches and moves the ma
jority of rs more than any higher
considerations can ever do. We are
not entitled however to leave these
considerations out of account. How
ever we ignore them they ought none
the less to be controlling. What con-
nection is likely to make for civiliza-
tion and its complex interests in this
little Kingdom? The efforts to estab-
lish such civilization here have been
scattered, few in number, and little
availing. 1t is safe to say that no
civilization will flourish in a country
Wnere the greater portion of the
work is done by cheap labor. All
that such country could ever de-
velop would be small class of
wealthy and perhaps highly culti-
waited aristocrats at the top of So
ciety. All the rest would be bar
barian. There would be no middle
class, no body ofintelligent artizans.
This is surely what we are drifting
to, and we will finally reach, unless
we are wise in time and commit our
selves commercially to the United
States. Unless we become what we
virtually are already, part of the
American commercial system, we
shall eventually have to raise sugar
on the same terms as the other sugar
producing countries of the world,
and that means, either loss of the

THE RECIPROCITY TREATY.

We publish this morning a long
winded disquisition on the Recipro-
city Treaty from one of the orgal rs
of J. E. Bush. 1t is not likely to be
very helpful to the discussion which
took place last week on treaty mat
ters, but it takes with the Rawaiians
and is an element of the political
situation which cannot safely be left
out of account. In the meanwhile
we are confronted with the question
Is it worth while to attempt to
negotiate any new treaty with any
power whatever? The question, how
ever, should not be stated barely. 1t
should be prefaced thus: In Oie'o Of a
possible or probable reduction Of the tariff
from 25 to so per cent, is it not wise to
make some treaty, with some power,
to help ourselves. if we can? This
question ought to be discussed free
from party prepossessions, free from
national prejudices. 1t is matter
not of sentiment, but of dollars and
cents, and we hope that our friends
who reckon in pounds, shillings and
pence will look on it simply in this
light.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1890-04-08

These are some of the reasons why
we ought, if we care for our pockets,
or care to act with some semblance of
sense, to seek closer commercial re-
lations with the United States. We
certainly have everything to gain by
such a treaty. What have we to
lose?
Well, by the new draft of the
Treaty, nothing. 1t contains moth
ing in the nature of concession.
The treaty which the Ministry orig
inally hoped to be able to submit to
the Legislature contained the provi
sion that the Hawaiian Government
should negotiate no treaty without
the knowledge mot consent, but kuOso-
ledge merely of the United States.
But this raised storm This inter
feres with the independence of our
foreign policy. This is inconsistent
with the holy, sacred and inalienable
right to import slaves from India,
send fleets and embassies to Samoa.
and establish our proud supremacy
in the whole Pacific, and-to starveI
To this precious right we cling Not
because we are jealous of the United
States. Oh, mol Not because we are
freshly-imported flibusters from
Canada. Oh, mol But because we
are pure-minded, Hawaiian patriots,
and are going to save the country.

SOME REMARKS ON ANTISHAMUS.

This Great Unknown, it is refresh
ing to observe, is beginning to dress
his thoughts, if his eternal mono
logues contain such, in a new garb.
In his last utterances he pulls his
old rickety bones together and
ceases to wander aimlessly over the
universe of things. HIS former
gentle amble, most like. to the in
offensive gait of missionary horse,
be drops. He is still the missionary
horse, but rendered worldly, as it
were, by bucket full of oats. He is
now concise, pungent and somewhat
RACY.
Antishamus is, however, a horse
astray, and his modest title " Stray
Notes." is no misnomer. The owner,
if he has one, would do we'll to catch
him and turn him out permanently
to grass. He cannot conceal age and
decay by cutting mild caper in edi-
torial columns.
The function of Antishamus we
may suppose, is intended to be that
of disinterested observer. If the
part is well taken it is a worthy one.
There is, however, but one place
whence one can fruitfully and wisely
observe and comment on human
affairs. That is from Olympus where
the gods sit and watch, disinter
estedly, impartially, with wide,
free survey, the contests and strug-
giles of mankind. Antishamus is
not, however, on this pinnacle and
his criticism wants, therefore, every
quality which could make it valu
able. 1t wants the quality of real
disinterestedness.
If you, Antishamus, were really
on Olympus. we would listen to
yours, as to the philosophers voice,
the only true voice from heaven. Ii
you insist upon remaining upon
earth, we must assign you a role.
You speak with personal bias,
which your pungency underlines.
Your judgement of missionaries is
not that of history. 1t is not that of
sound criticism. 1t is not that of
Judge Deady whom you willfully
misrepresent. 1t is simply that of
clique which has damned the mis-
sionaries for sixty years, and which
you voice merely more elegantly
than the average loafer on the street
corners. The loafer agrees with you
entirely.
In this country, the question of
the missionary in politics is dead
issue, which nothing but spite cares
to revive. You think to make poll
tical capital out of the subject, I
suppose, and in this you are like
anything but a god on Olympus,
friend Antishamus. All is grist that
comes to your mill, if it can only be
bent to your purpose-let it be
silly true story about fourishing re-
volvers in peoples faces to induce
them to vote reform,-or hint that
the festive fillibuster is the natural
ally of the wicked missionary, or an
intimation that the ministers are
tyrants and turn coats and spoils
men-what you will, you give cur
rency to it all. This looks more like
the maneuvering of an Office seeker
than the dispassionate utterance of
an Olympian critic.
1t is not the missionary who has
