About Annexation.

The agitation in connection with
the project of annexation, has ac-
complished a great deal in dissem-
mating correct views as to this
country in which we live. The as
siduous advertising of Hawaii by
means of photographs of hula dan
GERS, malos, ukuleles, and curios
from the South Sea Islands, has
served its purpose in crystallizing
the conviction that we were half
civilized people with a climate
to sell, much as the remnants of
Indian tribes in New England have
painted baskets and harmless bows
to dispose OF. People in America
have found out where we are situa-
ted, the complexion of our popula-
ton, the value of our industrial
and agricultural resources, the pro-
gressive spirit of the community,
and the vital commercial impor-
tance of the country.
Hawaii will profit by the intelli-
gent conception of our actual life
and problems and resources, spread
broadcast by the phenomenal con-
centration of public attention in
America on annexation. II is not
by any means one of the least of
the incidental blessings of this con-
centration of public attention that
at least, has true appre-
citation of our problems, and that
henceforth We shall figure for lust
what we are. 1t is vastly better
to be known as We are, in spite of
recognized defects, than that we
should sail along under misrepre-
sentation.
We have at last reached an era,
it is to be hoped, when the symbols
Of the forces that would retard the
progress of the nation will no
longer displace in the public mind |
the attention that rightfully be-
longs to the results of our modern
industry and ingenuity and enter
prise. Hawaii wants trade in great |
staples rather than the Utilization |
'f a small contingent of tourists by |
means of semi-obscene photographs |
and relics Of heather past. With |
and development and agricultural |
both of which are likely
o follow correct impressions of this !
and, Hawaii will have true pros
2erity, with abundance Of work
md peaceful, happy homes.-Han-

sRCE TREASON.

The royalists are intriguing tor
me return Of the ex-Queen 70 Office
and the overthrow Of The Provi-
sional Government They have
organized political societies with
reasonable objects. They display
openly the badge Of these organiza-
tons. They hold secret meetings
81 private houses, and public meet
ings in public halls and squares.
They denounee the Government
and openly declare their allegiance
TO q private person living al Wash
ington Square. They enjoy per
feet impunity and make perfectly
impudent use Of It.
The head Of the reasonable ring
is Liliuokalani. the deposed Queen.
whom the lenieney OF the victors
has allowed 10 retire TO s handsome
house, and there maintain & rival
court, the expenses Of which have
hitherto been defrayed by the legal
government Of the country. It is
safe 10 say that as long IS a leni-
ency 50 extraordinary Is continued
the rival Court VIII be maintained.
and Hawaii viii witness the singu-
lar spectacle OF $ double govern
ment, both located in the same
city and both supported by the
same taxpayers, both claiming au-
thority and both receiving alleg;-
anee.
Is It not time TO ring down the
curtain upon this farce? Il may
have been amusing, but the time
has come when it ceases to amuse.

harshness, but the lsw must be up,
held or else fall into contempt
The deposed sovereign is woman
and Is entitled TO the chivalrous
treatment due 10 the meanest OF
her sex, but the sentiment OF chi
valry must not be permitted to
override common sense. No one
who knows the Hawaiians can
doubt for an instant that the ex-
Queen is responsible, directly
or indirectly, for all the at
tempts now making to break
down the authority OF the Gov
eminent and TO defeat its ends.
The plots and conspiracies, the
embassies and manifestoes, the
leagues and libels and lies of the
rovalists, are all at her door. One
word from her would stop them all.
She viii not speak II, because she
openly defes the Government, and
because she is an avowed pretender
20 the vanished throne Of Hawaii.
The situation presents q histori-
cal anomaly and would be tolerated
nowhere else in the world. It Is
the duty OF Liliuokalani to submit
as = good citizen TO the lawful gov
ernment Of Hawaii. II she cannot
do SO Hawaii is no place for her.
As to the payment Of any salary
or allowance TO her, or 10 Kaiulani,
as long as either maintains the at
,itude Of pretender, it Is enough
to say that the very idea is prepos-
.erous. Itis an insult 10 the citi-
zen, misappropriation Of public
funds and & fraud upon the tax
payer.

OF SUGAR CANE.
The Waianae Plantation Makes
a BIG Record.

/ a OAS NCNOAos
Sometime in February last q
communication appeared in the
ADVERTISER relating to the pheno-
menal yield of field of cane
which had just been converted
into sugar. and which had pro-
duced an average of SIS tons to
the acre. The writer rather i'm
piled that Eva held the belt as a
champion cane-producer, and ex-
pressed a desire to hear from other
plantations on the subject.
Your wish shall be gratifed,
neighbor. Waianae is in the game,
has sized up her hand, sees your
eight tons and goes you two tons
better, and that in the face of
about as hard streak of luck as
ever confronted a cane planter.
From a single tract of 113 acres of
land, the W. s. Co. has just har-
vested, ground and sacked 1887
tons of strictly No. 1 sugar, an
average Of 10.06 tons to the acre,
actual yield, no estimating, no
leaving out of inferior patches, no
counting No. ? or 3 sugar, or the
waste resulting from boiling down
and converting low grade sugars
into No. /.
The cane has been harvested
under the greatest difficulties, more
than one-half of the entire crop of
the field in question, having been
wholly or partially buried under
earth, rocks, brushwood, etc, de-
posted there by the disastrous
food of January 22d last; necessi-
tating the use of spades, pickaxes
and tools of that ilk in removing
the cane from the debris which
covered it. Many tons of the cane
that had been cut previous to the
food and piled by the railroad |
track ready for hauling, were car
ried out to sea, and yet many other
tons remain under their covering
Of debris. In view of these cold |
facts we ask our Eva neighbors to
kindly pass over the belt to Waia-
nae, until they can raise their
average, above 1906 tons to the
acre, square measure.

NEW STAMPS

Within = few days, al existing
Hawaiian stamps will be replaced
by those bearing the name Of the
Provisional Government. Stamp
collectors viii take the hint. and
hold their treasures for 2 rise. The
value Of old stamps increases faster
than that Of old wine, and the new
issue means z boom in the old.
We hail the issue Of these new
stamps with satisfaction, though
We would have liked 70 see at least
one Hawaiian stamp bearing the
head Of President Dole. The formal
adoption Of Provisional Govern-
ment stamps Is symbolic Of the
fact that the old order has passed
away. The monarchy is dead. and

The royalists are attempting to
lift themselves out Of bankruptcy
by telling lies about the letter
which Mr.. Thurston has written J.
F. Colburn. If there Is anything
so very damaging in this letter
why does not Mr.. Colburn print It?
This trick Of showing the address
and the signature does not cast any
light on what is between them. II
was played before in regard 10 the
ex-Queen's new Constitution. The
only persons who could be supposed
70 have full and precise knowledge
Of the contents OF that instrument,
viz. the royalist Cabinet,-took
pains not 10 tel what they knew,
until Mr.. Neumann GOT TO Wash
ington, when he Immediately knew
81 about Il and told aL-and per-
haps 8 little more than all-that he

oeive are beneath contempt. When

tion Of il in ha Leo.

TIE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT AND
The PEOPLE.

An attempt has been made to
discredit the Government on the
ground that It is not representa-
tive. Ii IS an absolute oligarchy.
One strongly disafected gentle
man stated lately that he would
not pay his taxes as the Psovis-
ional Government had no right to
collect anything from him since
he was not represented in ii. The
gentleman in question will prob
ably continue disafected as long
as he is moi represented" but he
viii pay his taxes just the same.
From purely formal point Of
view, it is Of course quite true,
that the Provisional Government
is not representative. Il was not
elected" in the purely literal
sense Of that term. In every other
sense, however. II is the most popu-
lar government which Hawaii has
seen for many 8 year.
What makes 4 government truly
popular Is not the method by
which i Is installed but the
method by which It is run.
If II defes the will Of the
people, II Is oppressive. If
It is controlled by public opinion,
il IS popular and representative.
Judged by this, which is the only
rational test, the present govern
ment Of Hawaii Is free govern
ment. Itwas virtually chosen BY
the great mass meeting in the
Rifles Armory. It was enthusi-
asteally endorsed by the mass
meeting in the Drill Shed. To
pretend that the Government IS
without moral authority because it
does not conform 10 popular forms,
and was not elected by popular
vote, Is absurd. Il is TO deny the
right Of reYolution-a right which /
is the only safeguard Of civil
liberty. No revolution was yet
effected by 3 popular vote. When
the farmers around Lexington |
" blazed away" from behind fences |
and bushes and walls, they did not
stop for vote. Bunker's Hill was |
not polling place. There Is no
voting at revolutions, except with |
the ballots that are bullets.
The obligation of every perman-
ent government TO assume z popu-
lar form is Of course obvious. but
the Provisional Government is not
g permanent government. It sim
ply furnishes modus vivendi and
administers affairs until Hawaii
shall become & part Of the United
States. The end and aim Of its
existence Is 70 secure annexation. .
The annexation idea is the very
breath OF It's life, and because II Is
faithfully seeking to secure this
boon, because i rests on public
sentiment and exists for public
ends, 1t Is in no sense g despotism,
put in the highest sense 2 free gov
.mment Of, by and for the people.

/ MAMMOTH UNDERTAKING.

-Four years ago the Bradstreet Co
undertook the immense labor Of in
vestigating into the causes of the
5000 business failures which have
taken place in the United States
and Canada during the past SIX
wears. Some idea of the extent OF
this undertaking may be obtained
from the fact that it involved tax
ing note Of more than million
and half of individuals, while a
hundred thousand correspondents
were employed in seventy-seven
thousand different towns and vii
lagos. The motive of the under
taking was to test business ratings.
The results show that the system
of Bradstreet's has attained a high
degree of accuracy.
OF the 1852 failures for 1892,
95 per cent, or in other words al
most the whole number, were of
firms having either q very moderate
or no credit rating. Only seven
per cent. therefore Of al failures
were Of firms having good credit
rating. This shows clearly the
substantial reliability and hence the
practical value of the work done
by the Bradstreet Company.
The causes OF failure are care
fully classified and the percentages
due TO each ascertained. Lack of
capital appears TO be the principal
cause, leading the list with 57.9
per cent. in 80, 59.2 in 81 and 52.5
in 1892. In Canada it plays
still more important role. more
than half of all failures being set
down 10 this cause alone.
Fraudulent disposition of prop
erty plays z considerable part in
bankruptcies, it having led TO one
tenth OF the failures in the United
States last year. The percentage
has jumped from 3.9in 1890 to 1o.3
in 1892, q singular fact for which |
ne know no explanation.
The work done by the Brad
street Company in the collection of
statistics is of great
ralue, and it will become more valu-
.ble still as its methods of obtain
ng information become more full
md accurate. The success of this
agency is typical Of what is to be
ust as soon as the worlds news
1uryeyors come to q consciousness
# the immense saleable value of
acts. The idea of the collection
# authenticated facts bearing upon
II living relations, is to revolu-
ionize the newspaper. The best
ournals Of to-day. all over the
world, are conducted on the rule of
humb plan, or, in other words, on
10 plan at all. This applies equally
0 those splendid examples of hu-
nan energy and enterprise, the
reat metropolitan dailies Of the
Tnited States. and TO the little
ountry weeklies.

royalists in regard to the eontsnts
OF his epistle to Colburn. He in
formed Mr. Rosa that annexation
was coming, and that no efforts

the sooner, therefore, he and other
native leaders got into line the bet
ter 1t would be for them. and for
