WHAT DOES 1T MEAN?

The Holomua, lately, has dis
cussed Hawaiian affairs with a
lofty superiority which is extremely
edifying. 1t refers to Mrs. Dominis
as " Her Majesty" to Cornwell 81
Co. as her Cabinet" and never
mentions the de facto and dc jure
Government of Hawaii, except I'M
der the convenient diminutive title
of P. G. From one point of view,
this may be regarded as mere
impertinence. When, however,
the official mouthpiece Of the
ex-sovereign declares that Mr..
Cleveland has not for one mo-
ment abandoned his intention
of restoring her 10 the throne, and
asserts that, through his Ministers,
he is still negotiating with her, the
situation becomes interesting, to
say the least. A late issue of
the Holomua contains the follow
ing astounding passage:
The people of Hawaii, at present, is
treating and negotiating with Mr..
Cleveland without the assistance and
agency of Mr.. F. NJ. Hatch, Minister
of Foreign Affairs. That Paul Neu-
mann was duly received as Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister PlenipO-
Tertiary of Queen Liliuokalani, his
credentials being signed by the Queen
and countersigned by Samuel Parker,
Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Mr.. Ceveland's Ministers and Com
nissioners have been, and are, in
and negotiation with
he head of the people-the Queen.
The author of this singular state
nent does not hesitate to charge |
Mr.. Willis-for who else should be |
Intended by the phrase minis
ers"-with a wanton breach of
diplomatic propriety, and Mrs.
)ominis herself with what amounts
o conspiracy. This is mere trifie
or it is no more than this cratic
ournal does every day. The sig
lifcant feature of this inspired ar
icle is that it shows the view of
Ir. Cleveland's attitude which is
till taken by Liliuokalani, and
fter her of course, by the foolish
lock of her native supporters.

THE RECIPROCITY TREATY AND THE
PEARL RIVER CESSION.

The slap at the Hawaiian treaty
made by the Sub-Finance Com
mittee of the Senate, has naturally
led to some alarm in local circles,
and much discussion as to what
Hawaii would do next" in case
the recomm endation were adopted
by Congress. The news which ar
rived by the Australia Saturday
has done much to allay this anxi-
ETY.. There is very little likelihood
that the Senate will take any
course subversive of American in
terests in this country, and the
latest advices are all to this effect.
Some persons, however, have sug-
gested that the United States has
the whip hand and is free to lash
Hawaii as much as she pleases.
This, on the ground that the grant
of rights in Pearl Harbor, made in
the convention of 1887, was not CO.
terminous with the treaty, but abb
solute and perpetual.
This grant of coaling station
at Pearl Harbor was not contained
in the original treaty of 1876. The
United States Government at that
time was contented with an agree
ment on the part of Hawaii not to
grant such privileges to any other
power as long as the treaty should
remain in force. Eleven years later
the United States went further and
secured exclusively for itself the
privilege from which it had hith-
erto been content simply to exclude
all competitors. This concession,
which is peculiar to the new treaty,
was inserted by the Senate in
secret session, and was of course
framed without the participation of
any representative of the Hawaiian
Government. 1t does not contain
any express limitation, and I'M
doubtedly might be taken, from its
terms alone, to be a perpetual
grant.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1894-03-27

the subject, and shows beyond the
possibility of reasonable doubt
that the cession was not perman-
ent but a temporary one, subject to
the time limitations of the main
treaty. That is the Interpretation
put upon it by both contracting
parties when the treaty was nego-
tiated, and this Interpretation must
necessarily be authoritative.
Attention is also drawn to an i'm
portant letter from J. Mott Smith,
adducing evidence in confirmation
of the view set forth in this journal.

THE ADVERTISER has received
copies of speeches by Senator Hoar
of Massachusetts,, and Senator Frye
of Maine, upon the Hawaiian matter.
The first deals with the question of
Executive Usurpation. The second
consists of comment upon the Nor
gan report, and is a brilliant vim
dicat on of its findings, so far as
these refer 10 the facts of the revo-
luton, and to the conduct of Min
lister Stevens.

THE JAPANESE AND The FRANCHISE.

The japanese labor troubles at
Mana is something of little con-
sequence if it is merely sporadic,
but of very serious moment if it is
symptomatic. We are inclined to
believe that the phenomena must
be regarded from the latter point
of view. The Japanese are a cap
able, intelligent and ambitious
people, eager to advance the inter-
ests of their nationality abroad,
while the Government is spurred
on to an aggressive foreign policy
by parliament full of radicals.
Indications have not been lacking
that the japanese residents of these
islands are well aware of their
power, and not altogether indis-
posed to make it felt.
The Convention between Hawaii
and Japan contains something like
favored nation clause" and the
japanese Government claims that
this entities its subjects to the fran
chise upon the same terms as those
of other nations. 1t is very ques-
tionable whether this claim is well
founded, but it is backed by more
guns and more men than the opin-
ion Of the Hawaiian Government,
and in international complications
opinions which have this substan-
tial kind of backing are the most
apt to prevail.
If the japanese Government in
sists upon Its Interpretation of the
treaty, we believe there is but one
course open to the trainers of the
Hawaiian Constitution, and that is
to exclude from the voting privi-
lege all except Hawaiian citizens.
There is no other alternative except
to make peaceable cession of the
country to Japan.

No action has been taken by
the Senate upon the Morgan report,
and advlces from Washington in
dictate that no speedy action will
be taken. 1t is not impossible
that the Senate will adjourn alto
gether, without either adopting or
rejecting the report. This would
be the easiest way of letting an I'M
pleasant incident die, and an out
worn policy sink into 'innocuous
desuetude."

VOTERS should not forget that all
the primaries hold their sessions
tonight, to elect delegates to the
Central Committee. The character
of the permanent organization of
the party will depend upon the re-
suit of tonight's elections. If loyal
voters turn out and do their duty,
the composition of the Central
Committee will be representative
and satisfactory. If, on the other
hand, they sit idly at home, the
interests of the country will feel
the evil results of their Incidence.
The inactivity of the good citizen
is the scourge of republics. Let
no true citizen of Hawaii stand
idle. Fill the primaries full and
elect an Executive Committee of
the American Union party which
will uphold the hands of the Gov
eminent and further every interest
of the country.

FREEDOM VS.. LAW.

The arrest Of the editor of the
Holomua for a seditious publica'
ton indicates presumably that the
patience of the Government has
been finally exhausted. 1t is no
torious that the patience of the
Government has been much abused.
A goodnatured man, secure in his
strength and self-respect, is slow to
anger, and can ignore Sights which
those whose reputation is less Sc
curely grounded cannot afford to
pass by. There comes, however, a
point, with governments as with in
dividuals, when the slight which
patient merit from the unworthy
takes, must be resented, and the
unworthy duly punished.
Without expressing any opinion
on the case now to be tried, it is
safe to say that the words COM
planned of are no more objection
able than any other passage would
have been likely to prove, if select
ed at random from the columns of
the Holomua. Abuse is the stock
in trade of that tedious journal;
vilifcation its daily food. Within
the last few weeks it has grown
holder, tasting probably by antici-
patton the delights of restoration"
We believe in the widest liberty
of speech and action. Such liberty
leads to lamentable excuses, but
it furnishes the only atmosphere in
which human beings can find
breathing room and grow. We
believe particularly in the liberty
of the press, as the chief safeguard
of free institutions and the dead
Hest foe to abuses in government,
society and religion. This liberty |
carries with it, however, RESPONSE |

CONCERNING RECIPROCITY.

We publish this morning the re-
ply of Godfrey Brown, Minister of
Foreign Affairs, to a question of
Representative Daniels, relating to
the Pearl River cession in the sup
Elementary convention of 1887.
This reply, to which editorial ref
erence was made yesterday morn
ing. summarizes the evidence ON
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1894-03-27

The meaning of this article,
however, is best determined by
referring to the language of those
who negotiated it, and this shows
clearly that the grant was not
intended to be perpetual, but to
expire with the treaty. Godfrey
Brown, who was Minister of For
eign Affairs in December, 1887, in
answer to an interrogation by Rep
resentative Daniels, went very fully
into the subject, quoting from the
dispatches of the Hawaiian Minis
ter, II. A. P. Carter, and from
letter written by Secretary Bayard
to the latter. These citations es-
tablished the fact that the con-
tracing parties intended and un-
derstood Article 2 to convey no
rights of jurisdiction or sover-
eighty, while such other rights as
it did convey were limited to the
term of the treaty. This inter-
probation by former Secretary of
State is conclusive upon the United
States and certainly upon the Cleve-
land administration. Itwould not be
honorable in the United States to
force upon this article construc-
ton which it was never meant to
bear, and in spite of the scattering
remarks Of certain Senators, it
would be unjust to ascribe to the |
American Government any such |
intention.
No doubt the point here involved |
is very important one to Hawaii.
The power to lease or cede Pearl
Harbor is one of the best trumps
in her pack. 1t is not, however,
the only one, and she may well
play a winning game without it.
There are other points which might
offer suitable sites for coaling sta
tons. There are other powers to
which Hawaii may have recourse,
should impolicy prevail over policy
in the United States, and folly cast
us off. The only legal title to par
amount influence of which Amer
lea is justly seized is derived from
the Reciprocity Treaty. That
treaty abrogated, Hawaii would be
eft to choose her alliances as free
lom and interest dictate.
1t is not necessary, however, nor
8 it wise, to dwell upon contingent
lies 80 remote. There is no reason
% doubt that the intimate and
relations which have ex-
sted between Hawaii and the
United States in the past will con-
inue, until they result in a union
which will solve most of our prob
ems and settle all our differences.

DEAR al have Just completed some

and must say that am very much pleased
with it, in fact it is THE fence for a ranch.
L had about a mile to construct over
'pahoehoe," where it was nearly impos-
sible to get post down and found, in this
case especially, the Jones Fence was a
great saving of labor. There are places in
this fence where the posts are at least IS
feet apart, the space between filed in with
stays. There is no sag to it and it IS as
springy as a wire mattress. am confident
that it will turn ordinary stock.
l have some two and half miles more
to construct over a country where wild cat
tie are very plentiful, and as soon as it has
undergone the test there will write you
further. If it will turn the stock on this
part of the land, and l am confident it will,
you can rest assured that it will turn most
anything except lava flow.

and bred. But bidders were as
scarce as customers; the inn remain
ing on sale for nearly year, during
which, from time to time, the spectre
reappeared.
At length, a young officer of the
garrison, who had formally fire.
quented the house, and recollected
the excellent quality of its wine,
moved to compassion in favour of
the poor host, undertook to clear
up the mystery by sleeping in the
haunted chamber; nothing doubt
ing that the whole was trick of
some envious neighbour, desirous
of deteriorating the value of the
freehold in order to become a pur-
chaser.
His offer having been gratefully
accepted, the captain took up his
quarters in the fatal room, with a
bottle of wine, and brace of loaded
pistols, on the table before him ;
determined to shoot at whatever
object might enter the doors.
At the usual hour of midnight,
accordingly, when the door few
open and the white spectre bearing
a lamp and a bunch of keys made
disappearance, he seized his weapons
of destruction; when, To-! as his
finger was OH the point of the
trigger, what was his panic on per-
ceiving that the apparition was no
other than the daughter of his host,
a young and pretty girl, evidently
walking in her sleep! Preserving
the strictest silence, he watched her
set down the lamp, place her keys
carefully on the chimney-piece, and
retire to the opposite bed, which,
as it afterwards proved, she had
often occupied during the lifetime
Of her late mother who slept in the
room.
No sooner had she thoroughly
composed herself, than the officer,
after locking the door of the room,
went in search Of her father and
several competent witnesses; in
cluding the water-bailiff Of the dis
trict, who had been one of the loud
est in circulating rumors concerning
the Haunted Inn. The poor girl
was found quietly asleep in bed,
and her terror on waking in the
dreaded chamber afforded sufficient
evidence to all present of the state
of somnambulism in which she had
been entranced.
From that period, the spectre,
was seen no more; probably because
the landlords daughter removed
shortly afterwards to home of
her own, provided by the young
officer.
