TWO SAMPLE ROYALISTS.
SpreckeIs' Boy Has Caught
Papa Nordhof7s MaIady.

ALREADY" said Mr.. Nordhoff,
"their adherents are beginning to
fall away from them and the end
is near. There is only one thing
that can save the islands, and that
is the return of Liliuokalani to the
throne. In the future guess she
will behave herself.
"The discontents are the men,
bers of the old missionary party,
that is, they are descendants of the
missionaries. For g. time some of
the planters joined with them, but
the latter have gone back 10 the
queen. They need cheap labor,
and would be apt to lose it if the
United States took possession.
"Just before we left q sailing
vessel arrived in port bringing
with her copy of the Bulletin
containing the recent remarks of
President Cleveland on the sub
ject. They were construed to
mean that annexation would not
take place, and Immediately there
was a wild scene. The natives
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1893-07-13

cheered, bonfres were built and
the bands paraded the streets. The
Provisional government is dead
broke, and its end is near. r
In a brief conversation on the
steamship this morning Mr.. Spreck-
els stated that the annexationists
had given up hope, and that the
end Of the movement was near.
" Some of the leaders," said Mr
Spreckels, "will have to flee the
country in a short time. and even
tually the queen will be restored.
"Her return is not only awaited
anxiously by the natives, but also
by the planters. Annexation means
the ruin of every sugar planter on
the islands, as it means good-by to
cheap labor. Without cheap labor
sugar cannot be grown with any
profit.
The annexationists have not
got a cent, and they will never be
able to get the loan they are trying
for. In order to do so they will
have to call an election, and an
election will mean their overthrow.
The only man in the party who has
any means is Samuel NJ. Damon,
the minister of finance. Evidently
he does not intend to be held re-
sponsible for the debts of the gov
eminent, for he is mortgaging his
real estate, and turning all his pro-
perty in cash and other securities
easily carried. President Dole has
not got cent.
Regarding that subsidy to the
Oceanic Steamship Company,
which you say Consul Wilder has
given out is liable to be taken from
us. l have only this to say: There
was a special enactment passed
giving US that, and it was voted for
by the citizens Of the islands. To
take it from US and give it to
another company would require a
similar vote, and that they could
never obtain. AS far as the subsidy
is concerned, however, l may say
that it has not been paid now for
three months, simply because the
government has got no money!

There is a season in the year
when most dealers are out of
certain lines of stock; we get
out occasionally, but wetill up
as quickly as most people.
For instance we've had to dis
appoint some customers for
table cutlery, but now we
have ali that is required, and
of the very best quality. We
have also filed up short lines
of the celebrated "2l96" Havi-
land, an article that never
grows old.
So many people here like
hashed meat that we have i'm
ported a new style and very
good meat cutter that must
win the admiration Of
the celestial who acts as
manager of the culli-

house. And when you are
thinking of something for the
kitchen, think again and get a
tin of Putt polish that will
brighten up every kind Of
metal. The water taps, that
usually get dirty with age can
be polished with Putt liquid
so they will be as bright as
gold.
individuals who need some
thing to sharpen their wits or
their razors on can find moth

one of Emerson's Razor Strops.
They are the best in use and
sell very cheap.

WISE AND OTHERWISE.

Paul Neumann's open letter to
Pre- sident Dole does not seem to
have had the expected effect. The
Bulletin apologies for the letter in
a sort of half-hearted way, in which
it declares Mr.. Neumann's inten-
tons were of the best and that he
meant in all kindness to save the
personalities of President Dole and
his some highly-respected coadju-
tors from the humiliating conse-
quences" alleged to be awaiting the
establishment of good, economical
government in Hawaii. A valued
correspondent" has a somewhat
livelier appreciation of the absurd
ity of Mr.. Neumann's letter, and
does not hesitate to call the grand
old fee-taker a political chum2.

Lord Brassey in his NAVAL An
nuaf" for 1893, emphasizes the i'm
portance to Great Britain of main
tanning feet sufficiently strong to
effectively protect the British mer-
chant navy whenever such a neces-
sity may arise, and points out that
such strength can only be gagged
by comparison with that of the
war vessels possessed by other pow
ers. He thinks that an annual
expenditure of $12,000,000 would
certainly not be excessive for the
British navy.

has been very stimulating to the

1here is no guess Work about
these figures; they are al Of record
and constitute plain statement Of
the investments by nationalities in
the bulk Of our commercial and
agricultural industries up 70 date.
Out of thirty-seven millions, Amer
leans and Hawaiian-born Amer
leans represent over twenty-six
million dollars; while pure Ha-
waiians are represented with a
paltry ninety thousand dollars,
which, added to the investments Of
halfcastes, barely suffices to raise
the amount to half a million dol
lars.
These figures are III exact keep
ing with the statements published
in this paper heretofore, that the
native Hawaiian pays less than
one-seventh of the taxes, owns not
more than a sixteenth of the land
of the islands, while, up to the
present time, he has held two
thirds of the paid Offices under the
government. At the same time it
must not be forgotten that the ma
tives represent 70 per cent. of the
voters, and have proved themselves
incapable at all points of carrying
out an enlightened and progressive
system of government, such as the

FACTS AND FIGURES.

The three tables laid before the
councils q short time ago by Minis
ter Damon are, upon careful per-
usal, strongly suggestive that the
material interests and large invest
ments held almost exclusively by
foreigners, chiefly American resi-
dents in Hawaii, must cut a pro-
minent and decided figure in the
settlement of the future form of
government for these islands. The
tables referred to do not represent
the entire wealth of the country,
but such a large proportion OF 1t
that conclusions drawn therefrem
will be approximately correct and
applicable to the whole of the
vested interests of Hawaii.

The first table contains detailed

nationality of stockholders in each
