A Matter of Health

VT costs more to make Royal Baking Powder
Il than any other, because its ingredients
are more highly refined and expensive. But
the Royal is correspondingly purer and
higher in leavening strength, and of greater
money value to the consumer. The difference
in cost of Royal over the best of the others
does not equal the difference in 1eavening
strength, nor make good the inferior work
of the cheaper powders, nor remove the
impurities which such powders leave in
the food.
Where the finest food is required, the
Royal Baking Powder only can be used
Where the question of health is considered,
no baking powder but Royal be used
with safety All others are shown by official
analyses to contain lime ammonia or alum.

The DIFFERENCE

Our friends the royalists claim
10 be at q loss 10 know how the
Provisional government was able
to raise $4,000 without following
the old royalist method Of mort
gaging everything in sight, and
spending It before the notes fell
due. They declare they are greatly
worried lest the money which went
to Mr.. Spreckels and London IS an
advance upon the taxes Of the
country. VIII some of the royalist
fnanciers, who so nearly ruined
the credit Of this country, please
explain what kind Of 8 public loan
It Is that is not an advance upon
the revenue Of the country in some
shape or other Z? Was Mr.. Spreckels'
loan otherwise, or the London loan
OF SZ,UUU,OuO the roy alsts
wanted $1o,oOO,OOO), or would any
loan Of gold coin to pay either of
these be anything else than money
advanced upon the estimated future
revenues The pathetic cry" Of
the royalists reminds one Of the
querulous regrets of the over-confi-
dent politician who finds that,
through his own blundering, he has
lost the political pay lead, that
had become indispensable to his
lazy existence under the monarchy.
Then there was credit and bank
ruptey now, there is economy and
solvency.

Mr.. IRWIE'S LETTER.

Mr.. Vim. G. Irwin has published
letter in the Bulletin announcing
that he endorses Mr.. Claus Spreck-
els political schemes. 1t is hard
to understand what Mr.. Irwin is
driving at. II does not surprise
anyone that he should endorse Nj.
Spreckels' political and financial
plans. 1t is understood that since
Mr.. Spreckels' return from Kauai
he has privately announced he was
out Of Hawaiian politics. This
fact was known before his return.
and is quite likely to be emphasiz-
ed, if either Of these gentlemen at
tempt hereafter to manipulate Ha-
waiian politics for the purpose of
carrying out the plans of the cor
porations they represent.
As far as the letter which Mr..
Irwin mentions is concerned, its
history and contents are already
quite well known and neither that
document, nor Mr.. Spreckels' ac-
tons connected with it, need any
explanation at Mr.. Twins hands.
Insofar as Mr.. Irwin presumes to
speak for Mr.. Baldwin or any other
Hawaiian planter, except Mr..
Spreckels, he is at fault. The
planters are fully capable Of speak
ing for themselves, and have done
so in no uncertain tone, as both
these gentlemen are well aware.
The letter quoted BY Mr.. Irwin
which was NOT presented to Minis
ter Biount, cuts no figure now. As
far as we are able 10 learn both
Mr.. spreckels and his letter are
out Of the fight. Perhaps Mr.. r.
win has not yet learned this impOF-
tant fact

WISE AND OTHERWISE.

The refusal of the authorities to
open the Fair buildings at Chicago
on Sundays has brought out pro-
test, accompanied by a threat, from
the trades and labor assembly.
President John Linehan, an Ameri-
can citizen with a foreign name,
said at a public meeting of the
assembly that if the authorities
did not open the Fair on Sundays,
after definite notice, he was in
favor that the workingmen should
march to the grounds and take
their rights by force" The trades
assembly viii probably do nothing
of the kind. The performance of
such an insane action would be
speedily and severely punished in
free America, where one of the car
dinal principles of government is
that individuals must respect the
decision of majorities. Congress
voted the Fair should be closed,
and closed it will stay.

TIE SITUATION.

There is a growing feeling OF
personal safety and general secur-
ity since the Provisional govern
ment took possession Of the old
palace and converted il into s new
executive building. It Is not 50
much the act itself that gives as
surity, as its evident meaning. The
effect has been ike that Of good
endorsement on s doubtful note Of
hand; it has gained the public
confidence Immediately There
was wisdom in not taking the step
until the government was safely be
vond the financial breakers with a
fair wind astern. The present sue
cess has undoubtedly been hard
blew TO the enemies of good gov
eminent in Hawaii, but st the
same time it has made annexation
and the Provisional government
hosts of friends, especially among
the Hawaiians.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1893-06-13

Those among the natives who
were led to believe that the back
ing of one royalist and his money
meant defeat to the annexation
cause have been abruptly unde-
ceived. There is in fact no good
reason why surprise should not be
added to surprise during the next
few months. We are inclined to
think that the introduction of the
Postal savings bank law on last
Monday means, if it means any
thing, that the Provisional govern
ment has come to stay. In any
event its almost Immediate effect
viii be to put the question Of future
financial worries to repose along
with the evil monarchical system
which created them.

Some of the democratic leaders
are of the opinion a new tariff bill
can be agreed upon, framed and
passed within six weeks after Con-
gress meets in September next.
Those who have watched the
course of tariff Legislation in the
United States, during the past
twenty years. smile grimly at the
enthusiasm displayed and prophe-
sy that at the end Of six months the
new tariff bill will still be in the
hands of anxious and uncer-
tain democratic leaders.

The newspapers again call atten-
ton to the fact that the ministerial
crisis in Greece is omiuous. Pre-
mier Triconpis is said to have Civ
en- up the nations finances in des-
pair, and it is intimated the king
of that bankrupt country will pro-
badly have trouble in finding some
one to succeed the man, who has
made Grecian finances speciality.
Perhaps if Greece would follow the
example of Hawaii and remove the
cause of threatened bankruptcy,
her finances would speedily
straighten themselves.

In speaking of the guarantee OF
England and France of the indie

ground that neither of these nations
would violate their former treaties,
if occasion required, by interfering
to protect their respective subjects
resident here. The Call adds /:
Treaties are made for the time
and conditions existing, and with
changing conditions may be modi-
fed without mourning a charge of
bad faith"

The splendid performance of the
armored cruiser New York has at
tracted the attention of the naval
constructors of the world to the
United States. That country led
the way nearly thirty years ago in
introducing the type of the modern
war ship and cruiser; it now looks
as if she was putting the finishing
touches upon the methods and ma
chimes of modern naval warfare,
inaugurated in a moment of ma
tional need and naval necessity.

This growing state of political
concord would have been reached
long ago had not Mr.. Spreckels,
representing the sugar trust, thrown
himself into the breach with prom
ises whose performance he overesti-
mated, if he ever intended to full
I'LL them. Fortunately for Hawaii
the time has passed when either
his political influence or the power
of his money can sway the desti-
MES Of the country. Probably no
man is more thoroughly convinced
of this than Mr.. Spreckels is at the
present time. The government has
certainly treated him fairly well
and with more consideration than
he would have received in almost
any other small country not entire
ly dependant upon him. That the
government declines his advice and
aid in the future shows its good
judgment, when his past record in
political matters is taken into con-
sideration.

1t costs money to support a navy,
and the least of the expense seems
to be in paying for its construction.
Honoluluans are aware that half a
dozen warships in port, especially
those of the United States, means a
revival of local trade. This will be
more fully understood, perhaps,
when it is stated the cruiser Balti-
more's recent trip to China cost the
neat sum of something over $780,
600, or about $3.50 a day. A naval
station at Pearl river would mean
much larger expenditures here than
ever before.

In the meantime the annexation
movement continues to grow and
develop throughout the islands.
the quiet stability of the govern
ment has been its own endorsement.
Scarcely q mail comes in that does
not bring news that the natives of
the other islands, including almost
whole districts, are turning to an
nexation and the Provisional gov
eminent as the only hope for the
future. The significant thing about
the native stampede to the annex
alton movement is that the native
Hawaiian leaders, heretofore under
royalist influences, are proclaiming
against the ex-queen and her
course, in twos and threes. first on
this island, then on that. The ma
tives are following their leaders in
the usual large proportion. The
steady growth of the annexation
movement means its ultimate uni
versatility in Hawaii. 1t is daily
gaining strength exactly as it was
prophesied it would when the ma
tive Hawaiians began to fall from
under the influence of their anti
American foreign leaders.
