A possible and plausible explanation of
the attack by the New York Times upon
Secretary Carlisle, reported in our dis
patches of yesterday, may be found in the
story that the Times has been pur-
chased by H. H. Kohlsaat, of Chicago.
formerly owner of the Chicago Inter
Ocean. Mr.. Kohlsaat is radical repub-
hcan and a Halter of everything dem
ocratic, and haroors a special grievance
against the south for existing. If it is
true that ne has bought the Times the
vicious attack upon Secretary Carlisle is
only forerunner of other attacks upon
the administration that will be as bitter
as narrow-mindedness can make them.
Mr.. Konlsaat's chief glory is that he was
born in the same town with L. S. Grant.
which fact he imagines should make him
eminent His chief claim upon public at
tention is his wealth; he is able to hire
brains. If the Times has fallen into his
hands it is a great pity. The Times,
under the Joneses, and later the Miller
management, has been a powerful and a
decent paper.

There were five suicides in New York
on Friday, and probably twenty during
the week. Col Bob" Ingersoll and a
New York newspaper have been agitat-
ing the question, AS suicide a SIM" The
preponderance Of the arguments printed
seems to be that suicide is not sin, but
a blessed beuefaction. The connection
between the agitation of the question and
the five suicides Of Friday may be very
close.

That maiority-a vast ma iority-of
the people and the newspapers of the
state favor the proposed constitutional
amendment which provides for an in
crease in the mber of members of the
state supreme court from three to five. is
made evident by the objections of two or
three of the state papers. They are the
exceptions that prove the rule Their
protests against the amendment, on the
very weak ground of the expense, merely
call attention to the fact that there are
a very great many others that do not no
test, but favor the increase. 1t is a very
well known fact that there is more bust.
ness than the court, as it is now consti-
tuted, can attend to. To increase
the number of justices is merely to
act upon the business principle of having
sufficient number of men to do certain
work that is necessary to be done There
has, for years, been discomfort with the
slowness of the court in acting upon GER
tain cases, and the chances are that some
of the people who are now kicking against
making arrangements for the court to
move little faster are among those who
have been kicking because it didn't move
fast enough.

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 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 a life de-
voted to science. The testimony
of such a 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
prejudices 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 bulls-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 $4,000
600, and she will prove her case on
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 to the voters
on such a 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 Ny. Hill will not permit any |
one, however wise or great, to "mon-
key" with the fortunes of the De- |
mocracy. They will not allow the
President, or Mr.. Blount, or Mr.. |
Willis, to put "flies" 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 a 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 a 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 it, no matter how
carefully this market may be de-
veloped. The consumption of sugar
in the whole of Canada is hardly
more than equal to the Hawaiian
crop, and of this total British
Columbia takes only All insignifi-
cant part. If Hawaii were to seek
an outlet for her sugar in Canada,
the eastern trade inlets of that
country would have to be hermeti-
cally sealed, and even then we
could not 0e guaranteed an ade-
quate field for our products. The
bulk of Hawaii's trade for an in
definite period TO come, must be
with the United States.
1t does not follow, however, that |
the Canadian connection is not |
worth cultivatiug The extra line
of steamers is 4 convenience, and |
the northern market will always |
offer a valuable, though extremely |
limited alternative for 4 part of
our exports. But it cannot make
Us o.her than q commercial appa-
mage of the United States, nor free |
Us from a relation of depend
sncy which Hawaiian Americans
never found occasion to regret,
until it deluded Mr.. Cleveland
INTO conducting himself like for
eign conqueror in Hawaii, who had
,nly to put his foot on our necks.

ACCORDING to a correspondent in
Hamakua, some of the ofice-hold-
ers of that district have lately been
holding a feast in honor of the an
ticipated return of Mrs. Dominis TO
her throne. This feast, it is alleged,
was held on the very day when
these loyal servants Of the Pro-
visional Government supposed
that the restoration to be ac-
tually in process Of accom-
plishment. These facts are now
brought to the notice of the author
tiles, and they should be investigat-
ed at once. If they are verified the
gentlemen concerned should be
promptly decapitated and their
places supplied with persons whose
loyalty remains mistaken whether
the calabash is empty or full.

We publish in another column
an article from the San Francisco
Chronicle referring to the recent
performances of England in the
Gilbert Islands. As usual that
power has been annexing an island
or so down there. None Of the news
papers mention the fact Of this
acquisition having been preceded
by popular vote. Yet one must
of course have been taken, or we
should have heard a protest against
this theft of a kingdom" from
some good British subject and anti
Home Ruler before this.

He Is To Be Representative Of
the Queen.
PLANS LAID THROUGHOUT THE GROUP.
New sheriffs and Other Government OFF,
cials Already selected A Modern
Hans Anderson Recounts to His Ad-
mireTs Few Fairy Stories.

In spite of the almost generally
accepted fact that the cause of the
ex-queen is dead, Maui royalists do
not seem to realize it. They still
cling, with a tenacity worthy of a
better cause, to the party that was
overthrown last January. A good
example of this sublime confidence
has just come TO light.
Ofcourse the leaders of the royal
ist party try to keep the spirits of
their fellows up by telling them
that the Queen with a big O is
sure to go back on the throne in a
very short while; that the poor
Hawaiian" is sure to get his
rights" Naturally, the "poor Ha-
waiian" who has any leanings To-
wards royalty accepts without quss-
ton the statements Of such men.
NJ. H. ReCter, the ex-Deputy-
Sheriff of Hama district, returned
to his home a short time ago, after
a visit to Honolulu. As soon as he
got back to his native heath he is
said to have called a number of his
fellows around him and made them
an important speech. He expati-
ated on the fact that Liliuokalaui
was sure to return to the thro one
that it was only question of
short time before she would have
the power to decapitate them all if
she so wished, and that they had
better declare themselves as good
royalists at once.
Mr.. Reuter- then went on to say
that he was q candidate for the
position of Representative for the
Queens (still with big O, party
in the new Legislature to be formed
as soon as she resumed the rule of
the country.
Another of the cheerful Mr.. Reu-
ter's fairy stories was to the effect
that plans had been laid all through
the group to fight the Provisional
Government and of course to over
come them. That a new Ministry
had already been selected, as also
had the sheriffs for the different
islands. A plan had been formed,
according to Mr.. Reuter-, to seize
the district of Hama and to defy
the police forces. Waikiki and
Makawao districts were declared
to be ready for the fray, and Maui
was to drop ike a ripe plum into
the hands of the Philistines.
Mr.. Reuter- is sanguine. His
plan will come to nothing but he
will have lot of pleasure in the
thought of his coming power.

Fort STREET, Honolulu.

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. f. Colburn. whereby he
gives up his old stand, corner
Queen and Nuuanu streets.
We take possession on Novem-
Der 18th. Our old place at LeleO
is too small for our fast increes-
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.. J. n. Wright who
will arrive on the bark. We
prefer to select our merchan-
disc ourselves rather than have
others do If. 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 a 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.

THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS.

Mr.. Cleveland has pitched the
Hawaiian matter into Congress.
He is ike the circus man who
vainly tried to drive around the
ring a tandem team consisting of a
goat, pig, hippopotomus and a
monkey. At last he shouted to the
clown, Here, you try it. Omnis-
cience can't keep them beasts in
line"
But what will Congress do? It
will not, it is certain, make war on
a Government in order TO redress a
wrong done by its own servant. 1t
viii not punish the Hawaiian Paul
because the American Peter has
sinned. If the Provisional Gov
eminent has sinned, it has been
only against the deposed, and not
against the United States; and if
Mr.. Stevens has sinned, it has been
against his own Government and
the deposed.
Mr.. Cleveland invites his party
to stand between the devil and the
deep sea. Will it accept? If the
Queen was deposed by the Ameri-
can marines, and she is to be re-
stored, it must be done well and
effeetually. Otherwise there is no
reparation, in law or justice. Eff
fective restoration means a perma-
nent guard of the Throne by Unit
ed States forces. A permanent
guard means protectorate with
underlined and despotic powers, or
practical annexation. 1t means
also the preservation OF a monarchy,
q democratic mother with a mon
archical child-a political monstros-
ity. This is the devil which Mr..
Cleveland presents to his party.

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
S37, 100000. The amount is alarm
ing, and there is nothing in sight
which promises to stop the leak.
It seems TO be generally believed
that the Wilson Act is a deficiency
bill, which will cut down more
revenue than it can raise up. The
proposition to tax incomes would,
if adopted, produce ? 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 a duty
on sugar. A large sum must be
raised in some way, and there is no
way more convenient and less bur
densome than q modest tax on
sugar.

BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE.

Under the heading, NO Close
Corporations" the Star of Saturday
contains an article which seems to
be based upon a misrepresentation
of something in Fridays ADyER-
TIsER. The Star finds in the fol-
lowing words, 1T is now believed
that the place minister Of Foreign
Affairs), can be filed in a satisfac
tory manner" an intimation that
something had been fixed up in
regard to the appointment Of a
new Minister Of Foreign Affairs"
If anything has been fixed up"
regarding the Office of the Minister
of Foreign Affairs, the ADVERTISER
is not aware of the fact. In stating
that it was generally believed that
the office in question could be sat
isfactorily filled, we only stated
what we regarded, and still regard,
as the general view. No particular
reference TO opinion in Government
circles was expressed or implied.
The ADVERTISER has as little
authority as the Star-and perhaps
even less-to speak for the govern
ment. Neither does it possess
sources of information unshared by
other organs of public opinion.
With regard to the propriety of
giving an opportunity for the ex-
preston of public sentiment before
an important public ap-
pointment, we are in the fullest
accord with our evening contem-
porary. The views of the Annexa-
ton Club, and of other organiza-
tons, are entitled to the most am
pie consideration. We do not be-
lieve that there is any disposition
on the part of these organizations
to abuse their powers, and we be-
lieve that the Government, for its |
part, is as free from any desire to
ignore them.
The necessity that the Govern
ment should keep in the closest I
touch with public opinion seems
almost too obvious to be dwelt upon.
In the absence of elections and the
formal instruments of popular rule,
it becomes doubly important to
consult public opinion as express
ed in its various organs. Only thus
can the Government be in. fact, if
not in form, a truly popular gov
eminent. 1t is from public opinion
that the Government derives its
authority, its sanctions and its
inner justification, and there could
be nothing more foolish or more
than to leave this fact out
If account.
The Councils and the various
political organizations are alike
to the objects which led to
he overthrow of the queen and the

In this fidelity is

No doubt many of our readers
will remember man by the name
of Percy Gardiner, who was an an-
nexatiouist until he failed to get
an Office, and then became an
ardent royalist." He seems to
have been a favorite of DR.. Trous-
seau's, as that gentleman eagerly
swallowed a strange tale which
Gardiner poured into his ears con-
corning the large payments Of
money and the lucrative offices
promised him by Mr.. Thurston if
ne would only give mis- valuable
aid to the revolution. The whole
story may be found in DR.. Trous-
seau's statement to Blount. The
man Gardiner has now turned up
in Hongkong, where he seems to
have appointed himself a sort of
special agent of the Hawaiian Gov
eminent to issue permits to Chinese
to come to this country, and par
ticularly to receive their money.
The whole scheme is exposed in

Office, published in this mornings
