President llarrison's cordial Zee
commentators for closer CONNER
cial relations between the United
Slares and llawaii;
An evident determination on the
part Of active local capitalists to
make the best of circumstances al
tered by the American tariff;
Visible development Of hitherto
waste lands by railway extension and
irrigation;
Prospects of an agreement of views
among the conservative elements, ma
tive as well as foreign, regarding the
election and direction of the Legis-
lature on lines calculated to promote
the common welfare;
The survey in progress by the
United States steamer Albatross of a
route for the projected cable between
America and Hawaii
The promise of the not distant
completion of the Nicaragua Canal,
hoped to be of great benefit to the
maritime importance of this group.
Casting the eyes abroad over the
earth, the retrospect is of an event
full year. Russia, the great bugbear
of Europe, the only Western nation
that submits to autocratic rule of an
absolute cast, closes an unhappy
year, with prospects Of more
gloomy one being ushered in. Fam
inc is decimating the teeming thou
sands of her peasantry, its fangs
being aggravated by outrageous Off
cial laundering. Baron Hirsch's
colossal scheme of philanthropy on
behalf of his suffering Hebrew breth-
rem in Russia pierces the dismal
scene with mighty beam of glory.
Politics in the United Kingdom have
been as engaging study as ever.
The downfall of Parnell, the great
Irish leader, caused by moral
lapse, followed by his sudden death,
has for the time utterly confused
and entangled the Irish question.
The renewal of the triple alliance
for preserving peace - Germany,
Austria, Italy-with the supposed
approval of Great Britain, was one
notable event. 1t was followed by
Frances cOquetting with Russia for
counter alliance, which although
seemingly effected would appear to
be fastened by but rope of sand.
The Australasian colonies, excepting
New Zealand's holding aloof, have
made a promising advance toward
the goal of united government, des-
tined eventually to be a new and
powerful nation under the Southern
Cross. The triumph of Instruction
on the ostensible behalf of constitu-
tional government in Chile, mark
ed by the untimcly death of
the defeated President, is followed
by difficulty of that republic with
the United States, occasioned by APP
parent indignities to American sailors
and affronting demeanor toward the
American representative, and tie
issue of this trouble is yet SUI
rounded with uncertainty. Trouble
in Brazil was suddenly robbed OF tie
menacipg contingency OF an attempt
TO restore imperial rule by the death
of the dcposed Emperor, Dom
Pedro, III Paris. The United States
and Great Britain have once more
presented great object lesson of
humanitarian policy, by submitting
great and long troublesome inter
national question that of the juris-
diction in the Behring Sea-to arbi-
tration instead of appealing to the
dread arbitrament of war.
