The delivery of the japanese con.
vict who escaped from the reef and
swan to the Naniwa, was the result OF
short correspondence between the for.
eign offices Of Honolulu and Toxic.
The surrender speaks well for the good
feeling of the Japanese government and
for the diplomacy of President Dole.
1t also closes an incident which pro-
missed to be troublesome.

THE BOOM WAITS.

The eagerness with which American |
capitalists hurried to Washington, when |
annexation was preached, to ask for |
National banking charters in Honolulu,
is partially described in an excerpt from
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
The occurrence goes to show that the
alert minds in America were very quick
to see what effect union with that coun-
try would have upon Hawaiian prosper
ity and what a demand would arise
throughout the group for financial
support to great enterprises. 1t is a
pity that as prompt an appreciation OF
such results did not and does not yet
obtain here. No one who has studied
the groundwork of American progress
in the Western States can doubt that
the Eastern fnanciers are right in then
belief in the immensely of Hawaiian
development and the velocity of Ha
waiian progress once the laws of the
United States find jurisdiction here.
Wherever the stars and stripes have
gone in their march towards the sunset,
the boom has gone with them and has
built up, at successive stages, all the
great cities and farming regions that lie
between Chicago and Kansas City in
the East, and Los Angeles and San
Diego in the southwest and Seattle and
Tacoma on the Sound. AS to South
ern California progress, the last eight
years have seen results that have few
parallels anywhere; and yet that which
produced them all was merely warm
winter climate and a soil that would
rear a few semi-tropical fruits, the
whole brought to general notice by the
public press. When it is remembered
that Hawaiis temperature is the most
delightful in the world and that its soil
will yield the largess of two zones; that
its scenery has no counterpart in the
limits Of the United States; that civliz
alton has redeemed the land from say
agery and fringed it with churches
schools and homes; and that real estate
and business privileges are yet cheap
when all this is matched with the
security which American rule implies
then there follows, as day the night
such an era of progress as the mos
sanguine dreamer of Hawaiis futur,
greatness never pictured in his advent
urous visions.
1t is no imaginative error to say tina
the boom which would tread upon tn
heels of annexation would double tn
population of Honolulu in two year
and add 50 per cent. to the census c
the producing classes on all the island,
Such things have been the sober reali
ties shown a hundred times alon
the track of American pionee
advance, and yet we have men il
Honolulu who would rather that sue
good fortune should not come if
must displace rotten monarchy and
decade of discomfort and revolution
1t is small solace now to know that
year under the American flag woul
turn all such malcontents into enthl
siastic supporters of the new an
progressive epoch.
Meanwhile the boom waits.

For unon sheet of paper, written

had just so shame-faccdly confessed
her love, was the record OF hatred and
treachery that had SO nearly blighted
his life.
There were the first experiments Of

draft of the more masculine epistle
that had accompanied it.

face told the truth.
