But the world is rapidly growing
smaller,-these islands are now with
in six days sail of America, our near
est neighbor, and will ere long be in
instantaneous communication by ca
bic, so that the objection of non-con-
tiguity is fast losing its force. 1t is
we'll known that the plan of the great
statesman who brought about the an
nexation of Alaska included these
islands and a future Isthmian canal,
which last has become almost as i'm
portant for the future progress of
America as was once the possession of
the mouth of the Mississippi river.
The mere fact of the possession of the
Hawaiians islands would prevent any
other power from ever fortifying them
and turning them into standing
menace to the Pacific coast, such as
the Bermudas are now 10 the Atlantic
coast of the United States.

HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS.

Even James FL. Blount. who was
sent to Hawaii by President Cleve-
land as an executive commissioner
and afterward appointed United
States minister. seems to be worn
out with the shillyshally and dilatory
policy of the administration, for he
has forwarded his resignation TO
Washington, and when a democratic
Office holder resigns matters must
be ia a bad way
The fact is evident that Mr..
Cleveland and his cabinet are sadly
at loss to know what to do abont
Hawaii. It was very easy to pull
down the editice constructed by the
Harrison administration, which, had
it been completed, would have re-
suited in annexation, but all the
genius and statecraft of the demo.
cratic party do not avail, it would
seem, TO build up anything in its
place. The only 'uggestion that Is
made is TO establish a protectorate-
a measure that would suit nobody.
The Provisional government has
shown its ability TO maintain law
and order, and there is no disposition
on the part of any foreign govern
ment to take fcrcible possession of
the islands and overturn the existing
order Of things. What need, then,
can there be for an American pre-
tectorate9
1t is the duty OF the Administration
to come to a conclusion Cd this ques
ton. Ii we are to accept the offer
made us and take Ia the Hawaiian
Islands as q part of our territory, it
should be done without further delay.
IL we are to decline the offer, it is
only fair to Hawaii to make the an
nouncement OF the decination at
once, so that the people of the islands
may negotiate other arrangements
for the future.
1t probably seemed to Mr.. Cleve
land brilliant stroke of policy to
withdraw the Hawaiian treaty from
the Senate and begin negotiations all
anew, but the trouble is that his
Administration has done nothing, nor
does it manifest any disposition to
take any active and positive mea
sures. Whether the President want
ed to satisfy himself of the state of
public opinion in this country
regarding annexation, or whether he
was influenced by some OF his back
stairs counseIors and advisors at
Washington, cannot be said. At any
rate it is plain to see that nothing is
being accomplished and that the Ha
waiiau affair is making no progress
in any direction.-S. L. Chronicle,
June 9Th.

a POPULAR TEACHER.
Miss Louise Dale to Depart To-
Day.

Miss Louise F. Dale, the talent
ed and popular music teacher
Of Oahu college, returns today by
the steamer Australia for the coast.
During her sojourn of over two
years at Punahou, she has won the
aloha nui and kindly feelings of
all who have met her. Oahu col
lege will miss a most highly &C.
complished musician, and the
music pupils viii likewise miss a
good teacher. The Central Union
church choir, where Miss Dale has
been both organist and musical
directories, also express regretful
feelings, and the music-loving
community of Honolulu parts with
sweet singer of high order. The
successful reception given at Oahu
college in honor of Prof. J. Q. Wood
and herself on Monday night, was
an Indication of the high respect
this community has for them.

The most intelligent, patriotic and
courageous natives take the same
view of the situation. In crisis like
this, other factors count for more than
do mere numbers. Even if it can be
proved that a majority of the native
population, forgetting their obliga-
lions to their fellow citizens, and
blinded by race jealousy or misled by
demagogues, wish to take a step back
ward towards barbarism, and to wreck
the future of our common country,
must their ignorant prejudices be
allowed to decide the national policy :?
Would the judge appoint the defend
ants as a jury to find the verdict in
the case? His other objection to the
name "Provisional," and that a "pro
tempore" government is not author
lied to treat, ETC., is in the course of
being answered by the logic of events,
which are proving it to be not only
the best but the strongest government
that we have had in this country for
many years, and the formal endorse
ment of it by the people will not long
be wanting.

JUDGE CO0LEY's OBJECTIONS.

If the Supreme Court of the United
States had rendered decision adverse
to annexation, the royalists could not
have made a greater ado over it than
they have over ex-Judge Cooley's ar
ticle in the June number of the Forum.
And yet that article is based from be-
ginning to end on total misconcep-
ton Of facts, and reads much more
like the paid for opinion of an advo-
cate than a judicial decision made
after careful examination of both sides
Of the question. 1t has been said that
learned jurist is rarely great states
man. The lifelong habit of fixing his
attention on technical questions of in
depreciation and construction, and on
legal presidents, does not tend to fit
him to deal with the policy of a grow
ing and changing nation. Casuistry
is not craftsmanship. The develop
ment of a living and growing nation
is not to be fettered by far fetched
legal differences and implications.

Have you felt, recently, that
you would like to add a piece
of exquisitely cut glassware to
your stock of table ware 2
There's no reason why you
should not crafty the desire if
it exists. No other store IN
Honolulu keeps such a hand
some and warned stock as we
have and the prices are quite
as low as You would find in
any of the New York shops.

pie of refined taste. The

quently been mentioned in the
Art Journals as being superior
to anything of the kind manu-
featured in the United States.
One piece of it will add much
to the appearance of your
cabinet.
We have added to our stock
of glassware a large quantity
of fine engraved glasses which
we can sell you at very low
prices; you would consider
them cheap at double the
money. One pattern goes to
you at $3.50 a dozen engraved
as we'll as any you pay $3.50
for in other shops. The Gre
clan pattern, higher in price,
because there is more engrav-
ing to them, but the glass is no
finerin quality than the others,
either of them comes under
the head of pure crystal.
You've looked around per-
haps, with the idea of buying
a lamp! have you found any
to suit you better than ours
and for more money than we
ask you? In banquets, our
styles are the newest; in piano
lamps, none have been design
ed since our last lot was
imported; in Halls lamps with
colored glass or plain white,
our stock is up to date; pre-
eminently the head.

a complete review of the article in
question would require as much space
as the original occupied in the Forum.
Tile main part of the article is occu-
pied with an attempt to prove that
there are certain limitations in the
constitution of the United States, in
regard to the acquisition of territory,
which forbid the annexation of the
Hawaiian Islands. The writer admits
that no limitations whatever are ex-
pressed in the constitution, which en-
dows congress with plenary authority
"to make all laws which shall be
necessary and proper for carrying into
effect the foregoing powers" These
alleged limitations must, therefore, be
inferred from the probable views of
the original trainers of that instru-
ment, and from considerations of
national policy on which statesmen
will differ according to their personal
predictions or party connections.

Most thinking men in the islands
had long been convinced that union
with the United States was the only
way to permanent peace and pros
perity, and the only way to save this
country from eventually becoming an
Asiatic colony; but the crisis was
precipitated by the madness of the
reactionary party itself. The COM
missioners who went to Europe in
1S42 and procured the recognition of
Hawaiian independence were not
more patriotic citizens of Hawaii than
the commissioners who lately went
TO Washington with the offer of an
nexation. Prompt action, as they
believed, was demanded by the finan-
cial and political interests OF both
countries.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1893-06-21

We have not space to notice all the
miscellaneous of the article, such as
that the Hawaiians had been ga bar
barous race of cannibals," that the
Provisional government took mea-
sures to put down by force 'any ex-
preston of opposition to its action,n
etc., which have Nordhoffian flavor.
The article in question betrays abso-
lutte ignorance of the history of these
islands, OF our struggles for constitu-
tional government during the last if
teen years, and of the causes that led
up to the present crisis. On the other
hand, it entirely ignores the peculiar
relations between the United States
and these islands during the past fifty
years, as we'll as the responsibilities
and obligations which the American
government has already incurred by
Its own action in the past.

that secured for the Hawaiian people
their lands and their civil rights, and
which for half a century has been the
chief buIwark of the Hawaiian mon
archy, long after il had become de-
noralizing sham, that at last has
been forced in sheer self-defense to
put an end 10 it as incapable of re-
form. The revolution was not a move

In regard to the former considera-
of the Republic had no conception of
its future greatness, and that the con-
stitution has already been stretched
by Interpretation or construction to
sanction many acts which they would
no doubt have condemned, such as
the issue of treasury notes, appropria-
tions for rivers and harbors, and the
erection of the interstate commerce
commission, of which Judge Cooley
was formerly q member. To be brief,
the limitations which he thinks he has
found in the constitution, forbid any
treaty that would bring under the rule
of the United States "outlying states
or colonies or territory not acquired
with any expectation OF being brought
into the Union, or not capable of be-
coming harmonious members of a
family of contiguous states, constitut-
ing together one common country"
Several pages are taken up with his
objections to outlying colonies, which
he says the American government is
not suited to govern. He assumes
that these islands are proposed to "be
taken in as an an outlying colony
not as territory of the sort we now
possess and govern,-and not, so far as
we are notified, with any expectation
that they will ever be accepted as one
of the states of the American Union"

The writer is evidently not aware
that the United States already have q
thriving colony, firmly rooted and
growing, in these islands. built up
and fostered by the former policy of
it's mother country during long SER
les of years. Nor has he been informed
that there is ample intelligence and
wealth in the islands to carry on and
pay all the expenses OF territorial
government under the broad @gis of
the Union. And in good time there
is no reason why it should not become
worthy member of the great family
of states. Again, his whole article
shows that the race question is upper
most in his mind. To Hawaiians,
indeed, his numerous remarks on this
point, e. g., that ''the people to be
brought in are people of colored races"
that ''if we receive the proposed gift,
we are bringing incongruous elements
into the Union;" his remarks on
Grants scheme of annexing San Do
mingo, in view of the possibility that
it might "eXtend the Union over in
dependent states of colored people,"
etc, ETC., are really offensive.
