TOMORROW.

Tomorrow is the anniversary o.
Hawaii's greatest holiday. The
greatness of this holiday is not al
realized yet; some of it is still in
supposition. Yet as Shylock justly
concluded that Antonio was "suffi.
Gent" Notwithstanding his means
were ''squandered abroad" SO we
may with equal propriety affirm
the gains of January 18th to be
well worth counting and rejoicing
over, even though some of them
still depend on time and fate for
their final realization.
Enough, perhaps. has been said
about the 18th of January and its
meaning. We need not recount the
goods which it has already secured
nor those which in the fullness of
time it bids fair to secure US. We
are not quite out of the woods, but
we are long way, at any rate, from
the den of the dragon, and the rev.
olution, with its final object as yet
unachieved, has brought us enough
to be thankful fora government
responsive to public opinion, re-
strained by sense of the deepest
responsibility, animated by the
highest aims. The State, as the
highest function of the social or
ganism, should express the highest
and best life of its members. The
revolution of last January has lift
ed bare fact to the plane of the
ideal, and made the Government of
Hawaii stand in this full represen-
tative relation to the best intelli-
gence, the purest conscience, and
the highest social aims of the ma
ton.
Let US then celebrate worthily
the anniversary of day which
means so much, bidding defiance
to- land rats and water rats" and
Ill other vermin which infest the
good ship, and expressing afresh
our determination to stick by the
cause, abandoning none of its ends
and relaxing no energy until every
one has been realized.

DIR. BECKwITH preached his fare
well sermon Sunday to the
church which has enjoyed for &c
many years the privilege of his
faithful oversight and care. The
relations which have subsisted be-
tween church and pastor during
these years have been relations OF
mutual helpfulness, sympathy and
regard, and no one who has shared
in them will witness DR.. Beckwith's
retirement without regret. He has
been a faithful servant, not merely
of this church and this community,
but of the larger cause to which
the activities of his life have been
dedicated. He now leaves Homo
lulu for field which his advanc-
ing years will find less burden
some, if not less pleasant, and is
followed not only by the blessings
of his congregation, but by the
kind wishes of all, of any creed or
of no creed, who value goodness
and honor good men.

IT is to be hoped that the
proposition to send the Band to the
Midwinter Fair will be favorably
considered by the Councils. The
Government will incur no expense
in the matter, as the travelling
charges will be betrayed by the Ha-
waiian Village Company, and the
boys will get vacation to which
they are entitled. There is no bet
ter way to advertise Hawaii than
with Hawaiian music. The Band
is representative one, though not
composed of natives. No doubt the
people of Honolulu will be sorry to
part with the boys, but the parting
will teach us to appreciate our
blessings when we have them.
Honolulu is surfeited with sweet
sounds, and can get along very well
with an interval of silence. Mr..
Berger can concentrate the admir-
alton of San Franciscans upon his
performers for few weeks and
still get back in time to play in
the Hawaiian Republic.

A COMMUNICATION from Hilo,
published elsewhere in this paper,
contains some very sound sense on
the political questions which agi-
tate this country. Honolulu, like
Paris, is undoubtedly too apt to
forget that its population is not
coextensive with the population of
the entire group. The revolution
was in the nature of the case, the
work of the people here, but it was
endorsed and is supported by the
loyal annexationists of the other
islands, who have fastened to bring
the strength of their numbers to
the service of the Provisional Gov
eminent and who are entitled to
equal consideration in determining
its policy. The Annexation Club
is not thing of merely local
growth, but spreads its branches
throughout the group, and the
opinions of its members are entitled
to weight, wherever these may
happen to be.

large the number of Chinese re-
uuired will be small.
What the country is confronted
with is condition, not theory"
How to meet this condition, doing
full Justice to the interest of all
classes, is a purely practical ques-
ton. The Acts above quoted are
an attempt to answer this question
without injury to the planting in
terest on the one hand and the Ia
boring interest on the other Whe-
ther the safeguards are sufficient is
far from certain, but if they are not,
they can be redoubled. We believe
that as a matter of fact the pro-
vision for Identification of laborers
will prove Intellectual, as a half
registration will be as good as none.
The Chinese cannot be identified
until all of them are registered. But
there is no reason why the Govern
ment should not provide for such
registration. There is now no con-
stitutional bar to the statutory
power, and such use of it, if re-
quired for the general welfare,
would not be unjust or oppressive.
II would render complete control
of the Chinese element possible,
and it would settle the Chinese
question forever.

THE IMMIGRATION LAWS.

| Among the many valuable arti.
cles contained in the last edition Of
Thrum Annual is one on Chinese
immigration to the Hawaiian Isl.
ands, prepared by w. II. Wright,
which will repay careful perusal.
Mr.. Wright has the information on
this subject which is cleaned from
long service in the Foreign Office.
The article gives brief sketch
of the history of Chinese immigra-
ton, and follows with statement
of the existing laws and an explain
alton of the procedure under them.
Of the $4,000 Chinese now in the
islands hardly third are supposed
to be employed on the sugar plan
tations. Counting out 1000 women
and children, the rest are on the
rice plantations, engaged as mer-
chants, clerks and artizans, or pur-
suing the delights of vagrancy.
There are supposed to be about 800
engaged in this pet business in
Honolulu. They should be made
to go to work, o fcourse. 1t is very
easily said, but not so easily done.
The Government can no more iden-
tify them than it can pick out and
distinguish the grains of sand at
Waikiki, and, happily, there is as
yet no Chinese society here with
powers great, secret and irresponsi-
BILE enough to control them.
We are more strongly impressed
as the months go by, with the
necessity of a registration system
which shall make it as easy to
identify every Chinese as to find
number on Broadway. When such
a system is once in operation the
Chinese evil will be a thing of the
past. Chinese competition with
white labor will cease. The Chi
nese menace to European civiliza-
ton will disappear like a cloud
from the horizon. The laws now
provide for a registration of all
Chinese who shall hereafter enter
the country. But, as already point
ed out in this journal, such half
registration is no registration at all.
The requirement of photograph
would undoubtedly be of great
service in facilitating identified
ton. The only certain method |
however, is to register every Chi
nese, those who are here, as we'll as |
those who may come. If the con-
fnement of such registration to |
the Chinese alone be obnoxious to |
any principle of law or natural |
justice, then let it be extended to

January Is, 1894.

It is said that one-sixth of
plantation laborers' time is
consumed in keeping their
cane knives sharp. This we
believe is owing to the fact
that files are used for the pur-
pose and a lasting edge is not
put on the blade. The Frank
Walcot Emery File must very
soon supplant the file as a
whet stone, because the effect
is quicker and the result much
more satisfactory. We've been
sharpening all sorts of cutlery
during the past week with one
of these sharpeners and find
we can put an edge on a knife
or pair of scissors quicker
with it than by any other
means. We sell them for
half dollar and the supply is
limited; order now if you want
one.
Now that the plantation
managers are working day and
night to produce sugar and
sell it for a shade less than it
costs to make it, it is necessary
for them to practice economy
at every corner. We can help
them materially in the matter
of supplies, because our prices
are considerably less than in
other stores and the quality
of the goods superior to the
average run. We have had
wonderful success with our
Colorado brand of lubricating
oils, because they are manu-.
featured of the very best
ingredients. The engine oil
has taken the place of lard oil
on many plantations and there
Is no reason why it should not
on all. There's economy in
using these oils just as there is
IN using the Hendry Breaker
and the Hendry Double Fur
row plows. If you can save
time of two or four mules or
horses you are just that much
IN pocket, because you can use
them for other purposes. Our
stock of plantation supplies is
complete.

OPINION OF THE COURT BY FREAR. ].

OPINION OF THE COURT BY FREAR, J.
The defendant was convicted in
the District Court of Honolulu of
escape from Imprisonment tuncer
Sec. 2, Oh. XXX, of the Penal
Code), and appealed to this Court on
poins of law.
He contends that there was no
evidence to show that he escaped
against the will OF the officer having
him in custody" as provided in this
section OF the statute. We think that
there was such evidence. The officer,
prison luna, who had charge of the
defendant, prisoner at work on the
road, testif.d that be allowed the
prisoner to go into the bush for a
particular purpose, and that he did
not return, bat escaped. The per-
mission to go for that particular pur-
pose implied an intention on the part
of the officer that the prisoner should
return. Further, the word escape"
was evidently used by the officer in
its usual popular sense, which i'm
plies not merely that the prisoner
recovered his freedom, but that he
did SO against the will Of the officer
in charge.
1t was also argued that the lower
court was without jurisdiction over
the defendant BY reason of an alleged
irregularity in his arrest Tor recap
turel, In that he was s;.ken when a
seaman on board an American mer-
chant ship in the port of Hilo, the
consent OF the United States Consul
lar Agent at that port not having
been first obtained. the argument
being that such consent was essen
tial to the validity of an arrest under
such circumstances, but this point
has since been abandoned.
The Judgment of the District Court
is affirmed with costs.
We Smith, Attorney General, for
the prosecution; V. V. Ashford for
the defendant.

A CONTRAST.

There is food for reflection in the
striking contrast between the
policy of the Cleveland Admins.
tration in Hawaii and in Brazil
1t is as national and American in
the one case as it is I'm.
American and devoid of national
feeling in the other. In Brazil it
appears the Cleveland Administers
ton does not propose to permit
any foreign interference, or the
restoration of any monarchy. In
Hawaii it does not propose to per-
NIT the maintenance of a republic,
but proposes to intervene itself, in
the interest of a monarchy. Why
this extraordinary difference in the
treatment of similar cases? Why
is thing fish in Hawaii which is
fowl in Brazil?
1t looks very much as though
the zeal of the State Department
in the Brazilian affair were intend
ed as counterweight to its Ha-
waiian blunder. Having been con-
victed of gross want of feeling for
the national policy and honor in
Hawaii, it does not intend to be
caught again. Hence all this zeal
for Peixoto and his army.
1t would not be kind to suppose
that Mr.. Cleveland found in
the viciousness of the defunct
Hawaiian monarchy anything akin
to his own spirit. 1t cannot be be-
cause he recognizes a relative in
the caput mortuum, that he has
attempted to revive it with the
galTanic battery Of executive favor.
Yet it is singulr and it is disgrace
full that he should feel so much
sympathy for the fallen Liliuoka-
lani when he may be presumed to
have felt so little for the enlighten-
ed and philanthropic sovereign of
Brazil. If ever a deposed monarch
would seem to have deserved SYM
pathy, it was Dom Pedro. He
never attempted to subvert a con-
stitution. He was not crowned
law breaker. Perjury was not laid
to his charge. He did not attempt
to change the order of Christian
state into a carnival
of heathenism. On the contrary.
he respected the laws, labored to
improve the instruments of free
dom, and was the friend and SER
want of the people. 1t is a pity |
there is no Hamlet in Cleveland's |
Cabinet to teach him to look ON |
this picture and on that, and know |
the difference between Hyperion |
and SatYr.
