WAR IN THE EAST.

The war situation in the Orient is remark
ably interesting from two points of view. The
time seems to have come when China and
Japan are pitted against each other in a con-
test that will not end until the military su-
premacy Of one or the other is clearly estab-
lished. Again. the attitude of England and
Russia shows that delicate questions of
international law are likely to arise. wherein
these countries must show their hands.
England is the acknowledged favored friend
OF China. The basis of friendship is in the
commercial relations between the two coun-
tries, advantageous to both, and supported
by the governments Of each.
Russia leans toward Japan in this late
struggle because of her desire for added terri
tory on the Chinese border, to the end of the
establishment OF a southern terminus for the
Trans-Siberian Railroad.
The history of the trouble over Korea goes
back as far as 1892 when japanese emperor
attempted the conquest of Korea, but died be-
fore it was accomplished Since that time
there has been ill-feeling toward Japan on the
part of the Korean people. In 1875 a japanese
steamer was attacked in Korean port,
wrecked, and her crew treated inhumanly.
A squadron was sent to redress the insult, and
the treaty of 1876 was the result, by which
Korea was opened to intercourse with Japan,
and came under Japanese influence.
But the old antagonistic feeling still sur
vived. and in 1882 during riot in Seoul, the
capital. the japanese legation was attacked.
This ended in a supplementary treaty, by
which Japan was allowedto station troops at
Seoul for the protection of the japanese lega-
ton and citizens.
In 1885 China demanded the withdrawal of
the japanese troops. This was refused. and
Chinese troops were sent to enforce the de-
mand The japanese legation was burned
down, and japanese troops came into coliis-
ion with both Chinese and Korean forces.
Before much fighting was done, however, the
Tien Tsin convention was concluded, on
April ~, 1885. According TO this treaty both
powers agreed to the withdrawal of their re-
srectiyc troops from Korea, but both RE
served the right of dispatching troops again
to the peninsula in case of necessity"
Korea is a semi-barbarous country, and
periodical uprisings continued. There was
trouble with Japan through the refusal of the
local authorities of a Korean port to carry out
the provisions of an agreement whereby the
Korean government was not to interfere with
exports of Korean products by japanese mer-
chants. This was finally settled, after three
years OF trouble. in 1898, the Korean govern.

NATURALIZATION.
powers

The Convention yesterday, after
considerable debate, decided TO fix
at two years the length of residence
required as 4 prerequisite 10 natur-
alization. The time named in the
original draft was one year.
We think this change is not q
judicious one, but is unnecessarily
harsh. The peculiar conditions
prevailing in Hawaii make it very
desirable to throw as few obstacles
as possible in the way of natural
ization. The other conditions spec
flied in the Constitution should be
a sufficient protection against the
naturalization of mere adventures.
Hawaii wants to get good class
of emigrants and of citizens, and
the conditions under which they
are obtained should be made as
easy as possible.
1t is very inconsistent to hedge
naturalization about with grievous
restrictions, and at the same time
grant the rights Of citizenship with
out requiring any naturalization at
all. If the Convention really feels
that citizenship should only be
upon severe conditions, its
members should be very chary of
passing the special certificate Sec
ton, which dispenses the privileges
Of citizenship with a free and lib
eral hand.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1894-06-08
CABINET UNITY.

There is much to be said in
favor Of the amendment proposed
by Mr.. Carter, to require the resig-
nation Of any member of the Cab
met on the request of his col
leagues and Of the President. This
would make it impossible for one
inharmonious member to interfere
with, and, if not successful in
blocking the measures or policy of
the rest of the Cabinet, to impair
very seriously the prestige or eff
cheney of the Government.
1t is not every man who either
understands or if he understands
will conform to the rules which
ought to govern in all Cabinet
matters. No Government can long
succeed which does not in its final
action act as a unit. No Govern
ment will last long which has in it
members who decline to abide By
the determinations reached by the
majority of their number or who
goes, ION his own hook" with
measures which concern the ma
tional policy.
Only man who is thoroughly
alive to the necessity and binding
obligation of unwritten Cabinet
law can be trusted long in such
place. The joint responsibility
which prevails among partners
cannot be discarded with safety.
Any Cabinet is liable to be
wrecked by a member who persists
in acting on his own ideas without
reference or Difference to his col
leagues.
But what shall be done in such
case, assuming a. often would be
found, that such member insists
on his own way, and will not re-
sign ?
1t is a balancing of evils, whe-
Their to require such members
resignation at the request of his
colleagues, or to retain him until a
of the Senate consent to
his removal, aud to the appoint
ment of his successor.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1894-06-08
TOO MANY YEARS.

The Convention voted yesterday
to confirm President Dle in office
for period of eight years, or I'M
III 1902. We believe that the com
munity generally viii regard this
as mistake which the Convention
should no; fail to reotify upon the
second reading.
While the confirmation of the
President in his office by the Con-
Stituuon itself is open to s5me OBJ
jections, it is compliment which
he has richly earned, and in tax
ing this course there can be no
doubt that the Convention will
simply give expression to the con-
fidence in the capacity and fidelity
Of Mr.. Dole, which is felt through
out the islands. At the same time
the term of four, or at the farthest
six years, should not be exceeded.
The objection to the six-year term,
that under the provisions of the
present draft the Senators chosen
this fall would participate in the
election of the second President, is,
of course, 4 valid objection, and to
obviate it the date of the election
of the second set of Senators should
be changed. The difficulty is one
which can be disposed Of with very
little trouble.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1894-06-08
A LITTLE QUEER.

Il is rather remarkable thst no
query is raised in the Convention
a to the manner in which the
Constitution when fually adopted
i TO become law. The question of
two readings or three, which is
after all = mere matter of detail,
excitss considerable debate, but
the great question, What is to be
done with the Constitution when it
is passed. when and how is it to
become 3 law, seems TO trouble
none.
The reason for this rather curl
Gus state Of affairs may be that the
majority of the delegates probably
assume that the passage Of the
Constitution by the Convention
will be an authoritative adoption,
and Of itself turn the document
into law. That this is the case,
however, seems far from certain.
While it may not be necessary to
determine at the present stage the
mode by which the Constitution is
to become law, it would seem
proper st least that the Convention
should find out where it stands and
ascertain the limitations of its
powers.

The Central Union Church vas
crowded yesterday afternoon with
people, slI eager to hear the famous
DR.. Talmage. In spite of the pre-
JUDGE against him excited by his
sensational methods, it must be
acknowledged that he has the indg-
Enable gift of the orator. The
preacher who turns his church into
q thester, and then plays to the
gallery, must as a rule content
himself with the applause Of the
vulgar. Yesterday, however, there
was little of this sort to offend.
For half an hour the talented
orator charmed bis audience with
such golden words that most of
them would like to keep the ap-
pointment which he made with
them, at the gates Of heaven.
