Japan did not hesitate, but
stood firmly on her rights, leaving
to China the responsibility of de
Gliding whether the difficulty
should be honorably and peace
fully adjusted or whether it should
be allowed to drift to an open rup-
ture.
The decision has been made,
and the two leading nations of the
East, after centuries of peace, are
arrayed against each other in
open hostility. Both have haz-
arded much upon the fortunes for
war, but it seems to me that the
world at large will gain much
more by the victore of one than
by that of the other. For 1 trust
l may say, without appearing to
be boastful, that this war is in
some measure struggle between
the forces of modern civilization
and the us inertiae of a conserva-
t:sm the strongest and most stub
born the world has ever seen. The
advance of the one may be
checked by the stolid resistance Of
the other, yet in that case not
Japan alone, but in the end China
also, will be the loser, for victory
IN her case will give renewed life
to that spirit of intolerane which
has hitherto been an insuperable
bar to her progress, while defeat
will make the truth clear even TO
the most obstinate and cause the
obstacles to national development
to disappear in the conflict. /
do not mean to say that it is Jap
ans designs to act as the regene-
rator of China any more than it is
her purpose to wage q war of con-
quest orof selfish ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
The one attempt would be as pre-
sumptuous as the other would be
culpable. Japan is contending for
the protection OF her rights, and
for that alone; but, unless all au-
CURES fail, in her victory in this
var the truly sincere friends Of
China may see the brightest hope
for the future Of that country.

Eva Weather.

The inhabitants OF the usually
red-dust district of Eva have
now no reason to complain of
drought as their dust has been
transformed into the most sticky
of mud by the aid of Jupiter
Pluvius. a heavy rain set IN on
Tuesday afternoon and continued
with but slight intermission until
this morning, being accompanied
by heavy thunder storm In the
mountains to the north. The
rain fell in torrents In the hills
and from the appearance OF the
streams and low lying lands sew
eral cloud bursts must have oc-
Cured. The thunder storm SEEM
ed to travel in a circle as by
midnight the storm had reared
completely round to the south,
when the lightning played SO
rapidly that it seemed but one
continuous fash of fire.
sBy FIVE o'clock in the evening
the Waiawa and other streams in
the neighborhood were seething
torrents to cross which was i'm
possible, and the oldest inhabi-
tsnt' declares that the Waiawa
was never so high in his recollec-
ton. Two washouts occurred on
the railroad / one at Waiawa, the
other at Waikele; while the
bridge across the Waiawa stream
was washed eight inches out of
line. When the $40 train from
Honolulu reached the bridge the
water was washing completely
over it, and as it was deemed
dangerous to proceed further the
train returned to town not being
able to complete its trip to the
plantation. This morning a light
er engine came down and by the
exercise of extreme care reached
'the mill passing over the injured
spots, which had been repaired
during the night, arriving at this
end twenty minutes late.
The rice fields now being har-
vested have suffered considerable
damage owing to the overflow of
the streams which completely
flooded the patches and washed
quantities of newly cut rice to
sea. Considerable damage must
have been done higher up the
stream as Chinese and natives
were busy catching pigs and
chickens. firewood and debris
which were washed down by the
freshets. Quite a new industry
has been started in fishing dere-
lict pigs and poultry out of a
flooded rice patch the fish pond
has now its rival the pig pond.

MORE LIBEL.
The Editor Of the HOLO-
MUA Charged With
Seditious Libel.
The Hereafter the Truth, The
Greater the Libel

Yesterday afternoon at about
$50 o clock a police officer ap-
preached the editor of the HoLo-
MUA, who was standing near Ho-
brons store, and politely
presented him with Penal Sum-
mons in which Attorney General
Smith charges him with being
guilty of seditious libel and in
vites him to attend the morning
services in Judge Perry's Court
at $50 A. NJ. tomorrow.
The specific charge against the
editor is that he on last Wednes-
day, the 9th inst. did print aud
publish a hideous and nerve
stirring libel alleged to be ex-
pressed in the following sentence
Mr.. Dole is President of Hawaii
through treason,f raud and
might.
If we had been aware of the
extreme sensitiveness of the gent
leman We should have selected
our language differently.
But since his Thanksgiving
proclamation we thought that he
had succeeded in getting on to as
lofty pedestal as the presidents
of the United States who he is
plagiarizing and we thought that
the official attitude of American
presidents towards the Press of
the opposition had been fully
realized and adopted by him.
However he has not become
sufficiently thick-skinned yet. He
will probably be so before his
six years term has expired.
AS to the charge itself we pre-
fer to say nothing at present. 1t
is absurd and ludicrous in the
extreme and could only emanate
from our bright friend W. o.
Smith assisted by Hatch A
jury some day will probably Judge
between us and say if in this
"want to-bs" part of the United
States, there shall be free Press
and an honest expression of
truth.
In the lines published. alleged
to be seditious to Mr.. Dole there
is not the slightest inference tia
he was guilty of treason, fraud
and might
That these three factors caused
the present situation has been
proven to the world partly
through the official reports and
actions of the United States and
partly through the words of Mr.
Dole when be publicly disayowed
Mr.. Damon and denied that that
gentleman was an authorized
negotiator between the Queen and
the revolutionists on the 18th of
January, 1898.
However if Mr.. Dole thinks
that the cap fits him, he can wear
1t and be welcome !

4 Act III StAAS teA
We spoke to the American Union
Party, and reminded them of
their sacred platform In which
the antitrust plank was distinct,
| and which under laundering ap-
plause was heartily endorsed by
P. {. Jones OF Bunker Hill, the
very day when he became a spon-
sor to Mr.. Spaldings gigantic
Hawaiian sugar trust
We have in former issues ex-
posed the methods of the mani
pulators and promoters of this
nefarious scheme. Let Us add a
few instances in showing the ty-
ranny OF the man who wants to
be at the head of the proposed
nine trustees, and the justice
and fairness which will be grant
ed to the small stockholders, If
this missionary trust should
even be realized.
At a meeting of stockholders OF a
certain sugar company a few weeks
ago, Mr.. Jones who represents
the controlling interest launched
his scheme, and insisted in hav-
ng the company adoptingit- He Was
asked many questions in regard
to the intended disposition OF the
tax which it is supposed to levy on
the plantations, and his answers
were mostly to the effect that the
nine trustees would attend to all
that. One of the stockholders in
the minority asked for ID post
ponement of the matter until
some further day so as to give
him a chance to look closer into
the matter, and at the same time
consult other stockholders whose
proxies he held.
Mr.. Jones forced the issue, re-
fused to postpone the matter. and
by his majority vote pledged the
company in question as a member
of the proposed Planters Protec-
tive Association. And what could
the minority do besides placing
their votes on record, and then
to the expense of their pockets
protest in the courts of the coun-
try.
A few days ago the same game
was tried at a meeting of the
stockholders of the kahuku
Sugar Company.
In this instance the game did
mt work, and the meeting was
postponed in spite of the efforts
of the Gar of Kahuku.
A pertinent question was asked
in regard to the disposal of the
vast sums which would eventual
ly be in the hands of the trustees.
1t was admitted that the refinery
proposition was smaller matter.
but it was suggested that the
moneys could with advantage be
invested in government bonds or
lent to needy plantations. That
settled it. If the Hawaiian Safe
Deposit and Investment Company
needs money, it will have to get it
somewhere else.
But this is diversion.
What we wanted to tell the lit
tie schemers in Honolulu, is that
Mr.. spreckels has taken his seat
at the Hawaiian sugar chess
board, and he has made the first
move in 1.-THE game which will
checkmate them before long.
The Spreckels representing the
great American sugar trust yes
terday instructed their agent here
to notify the planters that in the
future one-third of all sugar pro-
duoed here must be delivered to
their firm according to contract,
that it in the future will be ship
ped in vessels selected and con-
trolled by the said firm.
That means that over 30 900
tons of sugar will be withdrawn
from the vessels now controlled
by the would be Planters Protec

FACT VS.. RUM0R.

The long tale which the Bulletin
prints about the American League
is a fresh illustration of the evils
Of political secret societies. The
American League is constantly
being made the subject of injurious
stories, which generally come from
members of the League itself, and
then make their way through the
community by heaven alone knows
what devious channels. Most of
these stories, when run to earth,
show that growth by accretion
which, is the characteristic of all
rumor. A radical Lacquer intends
to do something and rumor records
the intention az accomplished. A
resolution is introduced and with
drawn. Rumor, however, passes it.
We hope the time is near at hand
when the American League will
stop the mouth of Dame Rumor
with fact. The public are ready
and willing to believe the exact
truth about the American League.
Give them chance to hear it.

NO REAL DIFFERENCE.

If a reasonable degree of fairness
and tact is manifested by the lead
ers of the conservative and radical
wings, there will be no feud in the
Annexation Party. There is not a
particle of difference between the
principles of the American League
and those enunciated in the plat
form of the Union Party. They
are, in the one case as in the other,
the principles of all true annexa-
tionists. Let the differences then,
which are not of principles but of
persons, be fairly compromised.
The opposition to d. B. Smith was
never personal and we are satisfied
that the Councils will show them
selves ready to endorse the candi-
date of the American League, when
properly presented. If the Union
Party is going to make a nomina-
ton, there can be no possible OBJ
lection to it's nominating D. B.
Smith. And if he is nominated
there can be little doubt that the
Councils will confirm him.
The two wings of the annexation
party want one thing, and that
thing is annexation. 1t is enough
to unite and it will unite them I'M
til annexation is achieved.

ONE DAY LATER.

The barkentine S. G. Wilder, ar
rived yesterday afternoon with one
days later intelligence. She brings
an interesting budget of news, which
is presented to our readers this
morning. Nothing positive was
known about the contents of the
Senate Committees report, though
surmises were numerous. Senator
Morgan has prepared the report and
it has been read to the full COM
mittee. What changes may still
have been made in it was not
known. The belief is universal,
however, that it will represent a
compromise, taking both sides of
the controversy in turn.
A despatch which we publish
this morning states that after the
Senate Committees report mas been
adopted, Cleveland will recall
Minister Willis, and leave the
United States without diplomatic
representative in Hawaii. This is
probably all that will ever be
undertaken by the present admin
istration in the direction of restor-
alton. The despatch further in
Inmates that the Provisional Go
vernment will then proceed to the
organization of permanent con-
stitutional form of Government.
The implication is that with the
Government so established, diplo-
matte relations would be resumed.
The greater part of all this is
undoubtedly conjecture with more
or less foundation in fact. In the
meanwhile the Oceanic will prob
ably be along to-day or tomorrow,
bringing with her the Senate Com
mittee's report and the resolution
of these doubts.

CURED BY A BATH
An Hawaiian Has New Remedy
For Smallpox.

Thefsmallpox cases on the whal-
ing Bark Horatio have attracted
considerable attention during the
last few days, especially when it
was known that there was an Ha-
waiian sailor aboard. This man,
who was one of those attacked by
the disease, was cured by a method
that would have killed almost any
other man.
He was attacked while the ship
was in northern waters, and when
be felt the fever approaching he
had a longing for water. He fought
against it for some time. but at
last the longing overcame him and
he jumped overheard, into the cool
Ing sea.
AS is well-known, water is the
best friend of smallpox. Usually,
when i'll with the disease, patient
finds that bath in cold water is
nearly always fatal. But in the
Hawaiian's case, it was the means
of saving his life He recovered in
a very few days after taking his
plunge, and is now as well as posi-
bic. 1t would hardly be advisable,
however, for anyone else to try the
same remedy, unless they were pre-
pared to shuttle off this mortal coil.

The beauty of Haviland
China lies IN its decorations
and texture; its advantages
lie in the fact that, when
bought from u.s., if you have a
set there is no reason why it
should not be complete. We
sell you one piece or a full set,
as you wish and we have dup
licates in stock of every piece
sold. You see the advantage
over btying other kinds of
China; if your cook or steward
happens to break a piece you
eau procure another from us
just like it. If you want to
begin with a half dozen cups
and saucers or the same
number of plates it's agree
able to us because we know
that it is the foundation of a
full set that you will event
ually buy from us. If you
buy a full set at once we give
you a discount of twenty-five
per cent. from price charged
in small quantities.
The popularity OF the Jones
Locked Fence is growing
every day-not a week passes
but some land owner feels the
necessity for it and sends Us
an order: the economic fever
is spreading with the fence
and vice versa. Why shouldn't
it? Unless it be a matter of
sentiment where is the man
who will not buy a superior
article at a less coast when he
can. You will not find him
among the people who have
acquired wealth and it's use
less to look elsewhere because
economy is not to be found in
the vocabulary of the poorer
people.
When there are indications
of permanency in clear
weather there will be a rush
for paints, people will want to
improve the appearance of
their houses, Hendry's Ready
Mixed is the best paint for use
anywhere. 1t is cheaper in
price, a better spreader and
will retain it's color and lustre
longer than that which is
compounded by painter.
We have sold a great many
gallons of Hendry's Ready |
Mixed Paints in Honolula and !
ON the other Islands. Every |
one is satisfied.
