THE SITUATION.

The arrival of another steamer
from the Coast brings nothing new
of any kind in regard to annexa-
ton, and indeed since the arrival
of the Rush the scene of action, and
hence the source of news, has been
transferred from Washington to
Honolulu. If the first hurry of the
excitement is over, the reaction
likewise is past, and the American
administration and American peo-
pie have settled down to a calm
consideration of the question of an
nexation in all its bearings. The
strong tendency of public opinion
remains what it has been from the
first-clearly in favor of annexa-
ton.
If the New York Tribune is cor
rect, Col. Blount has not always
been so taciturn as at present. It
would seem that on one occasion at
least he has opened his lips. This
is what he is reported to have said
My instructions are very indie
finite. The gist of them is that 1
am to get the sentiment of both
whites and natives on the islands.
and also to form an opinion of the
advantages of annexation. The SEN
timent OF foreigners 1 can get at
Honolulu, but native opinion must
be obtained from the other islands
as well as from Oahu, on which
Honolulu is situated. shall spare

STILL A SECRET.

Colonel Blount's mission is as
great mystification as ever, and
the general public is compelled to
substitute its guesses for authentic
knowledge as to the facts. In the
absence of any definite information,
the following guess from the Ex-
aminer may be taken to come at
least within hailing distance of the
truth:
The question of how the overthrow
of the Government came about, and
whether the Provisional Government
actually represents popular sentiment
will, it is understood, be thoroughly
investigated. First of all the fact will
be established that this Government.
pending the ratification of the treaty
giving it right to do so, will not in
terfere in any way with the affairs of
the islands, except if need be to defend
them from foreign encroachment, the
idea being that the Government
claiming to represent the people of the
islands must be strong enough to
maintain itself if we are to treat with
it.
If Colonel Blount entertained
any doubts as to the power of the
Government to take care of itself.
recent events have probably set
them at rest.

THE decision of the Supreme
Court in the case Of ]. S. Walker
VS.. A. P. Peterson and others ap-
pears in full in this mornings issue.
This case will be remembered as
arising out of a note made by
Peterson, E. c. Macfarlane and
others, by which they sought to
sustain the disreputable and decay
ing newspaper, Elele. The attempt
did not succeed, and the makers Of
so much discord are now confronted
with the disagreeable necessity of
paying the piper.

THE New York Nation gives an
unwilling testimonial to the
strength, and it may be added, to
the justice of the annexation cause.
by its unwearying efforts to defeat
it. Hardly an issue appears with
out two or three short editorials
and a long leader, all still harping
on this subject. The course of the
weekly in question has furnished
from the first an exhibition of the
blindest prejudice and partisan
ship. Had it been in possession
of Paul Neumann's precis when its
first articles were written there
might have been some excuse for
them,--for how should the editor
know what a romancer "genial
Paul" is :? As it was they were

Joking apart, however, thi
whole disgraceful episode, begin
ming with the trial of Alapai TO
sOrcery is sad commentary OF
the fitness of the Hawaiians fo.
selfgovernment whether in matte,
religious or political. The mon,
strous absurdity of the petition tc
which we refer elsewhere i:
something of which its signers
have probably not the smallest
idea, and they probably think an
attempt to discharge a pastor be,
cause his salary is not paid, and a
refusal to pay him unless he re-
signs are legitimate and proper
things for a gentleman and a
Christian to do.
The noxious activity of this man
Alapai is one of the principal
sources of the difficulty in Kauma-
kapili Church. 1t is typical of the
whole political difficulty. Men
like Alapai understand the natives
and they make an efficient if not
good use of their understanding.
Alapai has been around coaxing and
wheedling, rubbing the members
and the deacons the right way, un-
til he has persuaded them in spite
of themselves that they are all of
his way of thinking. The political
story is the same. Some henchman
of the Queens orders the natives
to march up and ask for a new
and they march. They
are not asked whether they want
new constitution or not, and twenty
four hours after the demonstration
is over they are as likely as not
not to want it. The objections to
annexation are pumped into the
natives by their leaders and by the
and beyond their fears
IN the subject of the franchise these
objections have no root in them at

to swing the other way,

THE Hawaiian revolution has
been the occasion of innumerable
verses, many of them bad, and
some of them worse. Once in a
while, however, the poet hits the
mark. The author of the following
lines, from Springfield, Massachu-
sets, has come as near the bulls
eye, pehaps, as anyone:
VALENTINE To HAWAII.
You half-drowned chick in a waste of
waters,
Poor fatherless, motherless thing,
Be one of Columbia's fair daughters,
And rest meath her ample wing.
Don't stay by yourself any longer,
A stranger outside our gates;
Resolve to be bigger, and better, and
stronger,
And join the United States.

The attempt lately made by a
sailor to take his own life, in pre-
ference to going up North on a
whaling cruise, throws a flood of
light on the dreadful hardships to
which men who ship on whalers
are exposed. The poor fare and
bitter cold are often rendered
harder to bear by rough treatment,
so that the life of the sailor be-
comes that of a dog indeed. Many
of the men who go on the cruise
are taken aboard in condition of
standardization, when they un-
derstand little or nothing of what
is being done with them, and when
they come to their senses it is too
late to GO back.

We publish a letter this morning
from the pen Of Mr.. MCGOWAN
which casts an illumination upon
the methods employed by the list
makers of the Hawaiian Patriotic
League which they will enjoy.
That the most barefaced frauds
had been perpetrated in making
up these lists was obvious to the
most ingenious, and that the
names had been inscribed not only
of the sisters, cousins and aunts,
but of all their families down to
the sucking infants.

A TYPICAL CASE.

The Hawaiian Evangelical Asso,
citation has kindly granted leave to
the petitioners to withdraw their
petition against the Rev. J. Waia-
mau, or in other words, has refused
to depose that pastor on account of
his inability to collect his salary.
If he does not get in his arrears,
however, before the next meeting
of the association, the grievance of
the church will probably be too
great to be borne, and the associa-
ton will yield to the desire of the
church to employ a better col
lector.

THE NEW LINE.
The Steamer GraudhoIm is the
First Charter.

From the latest advices it ap-
years that the new steamer line
that has been projected to run from
Tacoma to Honolulu is about to be-
come a reality, and within few
weeks the first steamer will start
from Tacoma on her initial trip.
The British steamer Grandholm
has been chartered and others will
speedily follow. 1t is probable
that no vessels will be bought until
the present uncertainty with regard
to the Government of Hawaii has
been definitely settled.
The Grandholm is on her return
from a trip to Nanaimo, whittier
she went under a charter to John
Rosenfeld & Sons to carry a cargo
of coal. She left Nanaimo on the
18th inst. 1t is probable that i'm
mediately upon discharging she
will go to Tacoma and prepare for
her new work.
The Grandholm is an iron screw
steamer built by Hall, Russell &
Co, at Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1884.
She is 243.2 feet long, 1913 broad
and 17.3 deep and has a net ton
mage of 1865.
The Grandholm will carry lum-
Der, cereals and transcontinental
exports from Washington, and will
return with a cargo of rice, bana-
mas, etc, from the islands. 1t is
doubtful if there will much traffic
in sugar, as there is no refinery in
the Sound country to handle it

without excuse, as they were then
and now unsupported by any ray
of evidence. The proof that the
revolution was not the work of a
ring of. planters, or of planters at
all, is so conclusive that even the
editors of the Nation have tacitly
acknowledged it, in private con-
versation. Yet the sheet con-
tinues on its rabid anti-annexation
course for no other ascertainable
reason than that it is determined
to finish as it had begun.

Oahu Evangelical Association.

Oahu Evangelical Association.
This association of pastors and
delegates from the Evangelical
churches of Oahu began its semi
annual meeting on Wednesday morn
ing at 10 o'clock in Kaumakapili
Church. There was a full represen-
tation present. Rev. E. S. Timitio
was chosen Moderator, and Rev. J.
NJ. Ezera scribe The usual standing
committees were appointed, and,
after brief devotional exercises, re-
ports were read from the various
chlrches in regard to their condition,
needs and hopes. A committee was
appointed to draft a suitable form
for the preparation of these reports.
The embarrassments arising from
the uncertainties of the political stu
alton have affected unfavorably both
the regular attendance on religious
services and the successful operation
of the various departments of church
work. The retiring Moderator, Rev.
NJ. Kuikahi, touched upon this mat
ter IN the sermon preached at the
opening of the session.
In the afternoon session a petition
was presented from some members of
the Kaumakapill Church asking that
he be dismissed for reasons assigned
and difference of opinion between
the pastor and themselves as to the
of the church, their |
failure to pay his salary in full for
the last two years, and their deter
not to pay his salary if he !
should not be dismissed from the

The statement in this paper that
the robbery of the crown jewels was
effected while they were in the Gus
tody of Jas. W. Robertson was
simply part of a bare narration of
fact, and was not intended to imply
that Mr.. Robertson had been care
less or derelict in any way. The
diamond which is gone from the
Maltese cross at the tip of the re-
naming crown, Mr.. Robertson in
forms us, was missing three years
ago, when Mrs. Corwin was paint
ing them. The ex-Chamberlain
also desires US to draw attention to
the fact that he was the first to
discover the robbery.

ACCORDING to the latest advices
President Cleveland will call an
extra session of Congress next
September to consider the tariff
and silver questions. The Ha-
waiian question will, of course,
come up for settlement at the
same time. The Democrats ap-
pear to be determined to abolish
the bounty on sugar; and if they
do so, the entry of Hawaii into the
Union will be greatly facilitated,
as the objection to extending this
bounty to Hawaiian planters has
unquestionably been a prime diff
Guilty in the way of annexation.
The abolition of the bounty system
is a good thing in itself, and it will
prove a good thing for Hawaii.
Hawaiian planters have never ex-
pected to get the bounty, and it
was certainly no anticipation of it
which drove them to accept the
necessity of annexation. The thing
which made annexationists of them
was the unendurable misgovern-
ment which was paralyzing all the
industries of the country, and
which threatened to make pros
oerity of any kind an impossibility. |
The planters ask for no bounty, |
hough they do most decidedly OBJ
ect to any attempt to establish a
ystem which would break up their
abor system, while carefully ex-
luding them from the protection
ccorded to all other American
ugar.

A GOOD WORD.
General Armstrong on the Ha-
waiian Situation.


My thoughts have been much occu-
pied of late with the recent Hawaiian
Revolution, which all the papers are
discussing. Those islands seek an
nexation and are vigorously courting
the United States for that purpose.
but the American policy of refusing
new territory seems likely to prevail.
England's chances for getting control
of the most important strategic point
in the Pacific ocean are steadily i'm
proving. The Provisional Govern
ment of Hawaii is sound and clean.
Its head and Provisional President,
S. B. Dole, was an old schoolmate of
mine. l know him to be one of the
soundest and best of men. The Ha-
waiian Commission now in Washing
ton will get proper attention from
President Harrison and his Cabinet,
for they know the gravity of the stu
alton and how important it is to Sc.
cure to the United States the control
of Hawaii. 1t remains to be seen
whether President Cleveland will
have as broad, clear and wise grasp
of the Polynesian problem as does
Mr. Harrison.
There are possible complications
about it that make prompt action
difficult There is likely to be delay.

American ships of war and their
marines have Honolulu well under
control. All Hawaiian male adults.
