PROF. ALEXANDER'S TESTIMONY.

We reproduce this morning from
the New York Tribune statement
made by Prof. Alexander regard
ing Blount's report. 1t is rightly
characterized in a Tribune leader
as in some respects the most i'm
portant statement which had yet
been published. Prof. Alexander
is by his principles, training and
temperament, qualified as few men
are, to give a truthful aud impair
tial picture of Hawaiian affairs.
He is Of a calm and judi
cial temper-careful and method
ical in inquiry-conservative in
judgment. He has already made
a name for himself as an author
ity in Hawaiian history and anti
quities. He has passed life de-
voted to science. The testimony
of such man on matters which
came within his personal knowl-
edge. must carry the greatest
weight, and cannot be overlooked
by any one, no matter what his
preiudices may be.
The fact that Mr.. Blount did in
point of fact ignore Mr.. Alexan-
der's testimony, that he studiously
avoided questioning him on the
very matters which were specially
in issue, and that he prefers before
him the statements of malignant
slanderers, is simply one more
damning proof of the utter worth
lessness of his report.
1t is not necessary to recapitu-
late the points which Prof. Alex
ander scores against Mr.. Blount.
Every shot is a bull's-eye. Mr..
Alexander has contributed some of
the biggest stones to the pyramid
under which the Blount infamy
lies buried.

Now look at the deep sea on the
other side. Congress can make
money compensation to the deposed.
Ifshe is well advised she will insist
on large damages, at least S5,0O0,-
600, and she will prove her case or
Mr.. Cleveland's message. VIII
Congress admit the claim? If it
stands by the President it must ad-
NIT the liability. Will the Demo-
cratic leaders dare go 10 the voters
on such question? Payment of
any foreign claim has always been
a red flag before the average
voter in America. If the 'deposed'
asks for arbitration Of her claim by
some European power, the Presi-
dents confessions will bring her
enormous damages. Will the Demo-
cratic party begin by confessing its
liability? No. 1t will firmly re-
fuse to be led to a point between
the devil and the deep sea, Even
if Mr.. Cleveland is right in his
policy, his party will not follow
him if it puts the party fences" in
danger. He will be out of politics
in three years, but the party re-
mains. Mr.. Vest and Mr.. Morgan
and NJ. Hill will not permit any
one, however wise or great, to mon
key" with the fortunes Of the De-
mooracy. They will not allow the
President, or Mr.. Blount, or Mr.. |
10 put ''fies" on it-and |
such flies !

ment, and it was accepted by the
Chamber without debate.
The truth is that while it is wise
and proper TO encourage the main
tenance of the Canadian Pacific
line to Hawaii by every means in
our power, and in like manner to
do everything we can TO get cable
here, no matter from what quarter
it comes, Hawaii cannot hope to
establish any commercial connec-
ton which will materially lessen
her dependence upon the United
States. The population Of the
western part Of Canada is, and
must for q long time remain, an
exceedingly sparse one. 1t presents
only very limited market TO our
products, and there is not much to
be hoped from il, no matter how
carefully this market may De de-
veloped. The consumption Of sugar
in the whole of Canada is hardly
more than equal 10 the Hawaiian
crop, and of this total British
Columbia takes only All insigniti-
cant part. If Hawaii were TO seek
an outlet for her sugar in Canada,
the eastern trade inlets Of that
country would have 10 be hermeti-
cally sealed, and even then we
could not 6e guaranteed an ade-
quate field for our products. The
bulk of Hawaii's trade for an in
definite period 10 come, must be |
with the United States.
It does not follow, however, that |
the Canadian connection is not
worth cul:ivatiug The extra line
Of steamers is Z convenience, and /
the northern market will always
2ffer valuable, though extremely |
limited alternative for part OF
our exports. But it cannot make

A DISPATCH published in our
news columns shows that the
United States Treasury balance is
lower than it has ever been before
The annual deficit is estimated at
100000. The amount is alarm
ing, and there is nothing in sight
which promises TO stop the leak.
Il seems to be generally believed
that the Wilson Act Is 2 deficiency
bill. which will cut down more
revenue than it can raise up. The
proposition 70 tax incomes would,
if adopted, produce 2 large revenue,
but It Is too unpopular ever TO pass
through Congress. Under the cir
cumstances, it may be considered
as still far from certain that there
viii be no reimposition Of 4 duty
on sugar. \ large sum must be
raised in some way, and there is no
way more convenient and less bur
deusome than g modest tax on
sugar.

How often it has been said by
the croakers that there is no
business, everything is dead,
times are hard, and everything
is going to the bad here in
Honolulu, but the Cali
fornia Feed Co. are not built
that way; we say business is
good and getting better every
month. And to prove what we
say we have had to take larger
and more commodious ware
houses. We have Just COM
pleted arrangements with Mr..
j. E. Colburn. whereby he
gives up his old stand, corner
Queen and Nuuanu streets.
We take possession on Novem-
Der 10Th. Our old place at Leleo
is too small for our fast increas-
ing business, hence the change.
We expect the Hawaiian
bark Mauna Ala to arrive
here again in a few days
with her fourth full cargo
of hay and grain bought
by our Mr.. ]. n. Wright who
will arrive on the bark. We
prefer to select sur merchan-
disc ourselves rather than have
others do it. which means
that we get better goods at
a less price.
We thank our many friends
for their liberal patronage for
the past three years, and hope
by strict attention to a bust
ness we thoroughly understand
to merit the patronage of as
many more.
We intend to keep large,
well selected stock of the
very best hay and grain to be
had in the California market,
and we are going to sell it.
