ONLY one construction can De
placed on the letter of President
/ CLEVELAND to President DoLE, and
that Is Of most cordial friendship
snd goodwill between the existing
government Of America and the
existing government Of Hawaii,
coupled with s desire to perpetuate
the harmony now established be-
tween the two nations as ST present
administered. 1t is hoped by all
that this may be still further
cemented " s convention which
shall bring to US in some perma-
nent form the protection Of the
government Of the United States,
and thus restore business conf
dence which hiss been unsettled
during the past few months. But
this can only be permanently
secured on the basis Of govern
ment representing the progressive
and industrial interests of the isl
auds, and loyal to the care and
preservation of the aboriginal race
Of Hawaii. This can best be done by
s law authorizing the granting of
homestead Of five, ten or twenty
acres to every native family now
destitute Of land, even should there
be five thousand petitions sent in.
Every such grant to be made in
alienable by the recipient or his
heirs, and in the event Of no heirs,
the land to revert to the govern
ment. Not more than one hundred
thousand acres would be called for
st the most, and possibly not half
that amount. But what is this cost
compared with the benefits to be
derived from it. The bane of Ha-
wsiian civilization has ever been
that the aborigines have no perma-
nent homes which they can call
their own and around which may
cluster all the ameliorating in
fuences that make it sacred and
elevating. No country can prosper
OF grow unless the common people
possess homes of their own.

Nh. THEo. H DAVIES has seen
fit 70 write : communication to the
daily Bulletin in which he is
pleased TO state IN his usual style
and manner Of seIf-contained brag,
that be hzs addressed 8 letter to
the editor Of the ADVERTISER which
has not been published. Perhaps
Mr. Davies Is right; perhaps the
mziIs have miscarried, and PER-
EAPs Mr.. Davies Is wrong, as he

Dz7ies Of this much: that had he
addressed any letter to the editor

Ezhed, whether for or against an

enough Of z commercial man TO
know that 10 communications
20 unless addressed 10 the head
OF the department he Is at
tempting to do business with.
The communication in question,
received By Mr.. H. n. Whitney,
was submitted to the editor Of this
Journal, who, knowing somewhat Of
Mr.. Davies crankiness in politics,
agreed with the editor Of the H.
wAuAy GAZETTE that Mr.. Davies
letter was Of a personal nature. In
his own mind the editor OF the AD-
vEET1sER, knowing Mr.. Davies and
his little political foibles Of old,
reserved the opinion that if he
admitted the seemingly private
letter in question, Mr.. Davies
would within twenty-four hours

nOtoriety-deliberztely jump the
back Of Mr.. Whitney. Should
Mr. Davies at any time have
any communication which be
desires published in the ADyER-
User he can always Be assured Of
Its receiving attention BY address
ing the editor Of the ADVERTISER.
On the other hand, any commune
cation he has for the GAZETTE viii
doubtless receive g polite attention,
as IN the present case, if addressed
to the editor OF that Journal. Be
fore Mr. Davies makes another at
tack On the ADVERTISER, for poll
teal purposes, he should read the

fully as he doubtlessly reads his

The Tariff.

H. N. WHITNEY,
Editor Hawaiian Gazette.

The rough draft Of the tariff bill

bill are radical. The Springer free

into the bill practically without
change. There is to be radical
cut made in the glass schedule and
there viii be g considerable en-
largement Of the free list by the
addition Of raw materials. There
viii also be a heavy cut IN all du-

The idea of tariff for revenue
only has been adhered to quite
closely, but this application may
not be made to coal and iron ore,

Is very considerable shaving down

increased not above 20 cents. and

sugar. The sugar bounty viii go,
however, and either an income tax
OF an inheritance tax will be pro-
vided TO increase the revenue.

an explanation.

from Mr.. Davies g communication
for publication, which would have
been inserted in the GAZETTE. had it
not previously appeared in the
Bulletin, rendering further pubIiea-
ton unnecessary.
I wrote to Mr.. Davies, then in

not inserted in the GAZETTE, as it
was our rule not to reprint eommu-
nications, which had already ap-
peared in & local paper.

by the same vessel on which he az
rived, & reply which I took to be a
private letter, not intended for pub

it was done appears to show Mr..
Davies entirely ignorant of the
