GIVE THE DEVIL HIS DUE.

The New York Nation has been
one of the most persistently, bitter
and violent enemies of Hawaii
from the 18th of January, 1898,
until now. We believe, however,
in giving the Devil his due, and
note with pleasure the following
CLEAN of sense and fairness in the
columns of that journal. Com
menting on the Senate mcdifica-
tons of the Wilson bill, it says :
"No less satisfactory is the decision,
now made operative, not to insist
upon the abrogation of the Hawai-
ian reciprocity treaty. That was a
bona fide treaty, and in it the
United States obtained a valuable
consideration - the cession of
Pearl Harbor. In return for that
we promised the Hawaiians the
free admission of their sugar, and
if we keep the harbor, we ought to
give them what we agreed to pay
for it."
The force of this just recognition
of the claims of international NOR
atty is not diminished by the fact
that the Nation follows it up with
its usual TRADE on the greed of the
planters, whose burning republi-
canism," etc., is the mere express
sion of consuming thirst for the
sugar bounty.

SENATOR HILL is on the war
path, and he has been making
some raids on the Hawaiian policy
of the President and on the Wilson
bill. Some persons claim to see
the smooth hand of the Sugar
Trust in this hostility to tariff legis-
lation, but it is not necessary TO
suppose so in order to account for
the Senator's action. The Wilson
bill is full of positive qualities
defects or excellencies and it has
inevitably created widespread dis
cussions in the Democratic party.
This is a sort of measure which
politicians of the Hill type never
approve. Moreover, in view of the
practically unanimous opposition
of New York to the income tax, the
Senator from that State probably
felt himself bound to enter a pro-
test against it. 1t was against the
income tax that his assaults were
principally directed.

THE Feast of Nations has come
and gone, and will long be a thing
of fragrant memory in the recol,ec-
ton of Honoluluites. Nothing OF
this kind, so elaborate and so am
bilious, has ever been attempted in
Honolulu before, and it is crafty
ing to know that the results, both
financial and aesthetic have exceed
ed all expectations. This has
been due to the faithful efforts of
many charitable men and women,
all useful in their several degrees,
but it will not be invidious 10 men

The eyes of the people of
Hawaii are rivetted upon Adj
miral Walker while the peo-
pie wonder what he is going
to do regarding Pearl Harbor.
1t would be a great advantage
to the people of Oahu to have
the United States establish a
naval repair shop at the Har-
Dor, but is it possible that it
will do so9 The expense of
maintaining such an institu-
ton at a foreign port would
be too great for the benefits
or convenience derived.
Across the sea such establish
ments have been considered
political machines operated
by Congressman ana Senators
for the benefit of their consti-
tuents as well as to con-
troll votes. Under the exist
ing condition of affairs, when
Hawaiian voters do not count
for the American Congress
man he would have no inter-
est in advocating a measure
involving such an expenditure
without any perceptible in
crease in his majority at the
polls. The mere fact that the
United States will establish a
Coaling Station does not
mean that money will be
spent in improving the harbor
or in adding to the income of
our mechanics through re-
pairs to war ships. A coaling
station was established at
Pango Pango and the place
has been as active ever since
as a Puget Sound City after a
boom.
There is no use giving up
your idea of fencing on ac-
count of possibility of your
disposing of your Pearl Har-
Dor lots during a prospective
boom. Now is the time to do
work while labor and mater
ial are cheap; just fancy saw
ing half the price of a post by
using a steel stay and wash
ers. Our wire is the best in
town because it has tensile
strength of nearly $500
pounds; another reason is be
cause you get it for less
money than you can obtain it
from any other dealer.

THE sale of punch at the Ha-
waiian booth in the Feast of Ma
tions" has brought forth a great
deal of criticism, and it was stated
last night that the charities bene-
flied would not accept the money
taken in at that booth. The ADvER-
User had not intended to make
any reference to this matter, out it
has already been brought into gen.
eral notice, and the royalist organ
has referred to it in explicit terms.
The sale of punch of any kind,
whether weak or strong, was a
mistake at a charitable fete for the
benefit among others, of abstinence
societies. We believe, however,
that the error sprang from the
thoughtlessness to which the best
of men are sometimes subject.
Mrs. Haalelea, the head of the Ha-
waiian booth, is a most estimable
lady, who worked unselfishly for
the success of the fair, and her
character is a sufficient guarantee
that the affairs of the Hawaiian
booth were conducted in good
faith.

TRICKS THAT ARE VAIN.

The exclusion of newspaper re-
porters from the biennial visits OF
the Board of Health to the lepel
settlement is a piece of senility
which smacks of second child.
ishness and mere oblivion.
There is absolutely no reason for
this futile attempt to conceal the
affairs of the Government from the
public. The reason assigned for
not allowing press representatives
to &C is the alleged want of accom-
modations. The reporter punctures
this excuse by a willingness to
sleep on deck. Then comes the
objection that if one paper wishes
representation another will. Why
should it not? But if the local
press is represented the foreign
press will demand the same privi-
lege. This last objection shows
where the shoe pinches. The
American papers must not know
that there is any Kalaupapa or
Kalawao, and the wisdom of the
ostrich which evades pursuit by
hiding its head in the sand, is
justified of its imitators in the Ha-
waiian Government.
If the Attorney-General is really
and soberly of the opinion that the
interests of the people are best
served by letting the people know
Just so much of affairs as its rulers
are pleased to communicate, then
he should apply this rule with con-
sistency and with justice. Why
should each member of the Board
have the right to invite one guest?
Why should visiting clergymen
have a privilege which is denied
to residents? Why is the curiosity
of the mere tourist allowed a larger
scope than the legitimate interest
of the public, as represented by its
organ, the press?
There is no common sense in
this rule of secrecy and no justice
in the mode of its enforcement. It
brings nothing but discredit upon
the Government, subjects its mo-
tives to misconstruction, and de-
prives it of the strength which
comes from an aroused and in
structed public opinion.

LET THE PEOPLE RULE.

I elected delegates a larger snare III
! determining the actions of the con
vention. A proposition in every
way better would be to pass a bill
amending the law, striking out the
membership Of the Advisory Coun'
Gil altogether.
If this were done the convention
would have no members not elect
ed by the people, except the Presi,
dent and the Cabinet. These
would properly retain their seats
and their votes, and would exer-
else an important and guiding
part in the deliberations.
The proposition thus made
springs, it need hardly be ex-
planned, not from any want OF
appreciation of the Advisory Coun-
Gil, nor from an ignorance of the
patriotism with which its members
have served the country during
the past year. 1t is made because
it offers a simple, safe and just
means of turning over to the elect
ed representatives of the people,
the control of the convention.
There can be but one possible
reason for giving the members of
the Advisory Council ex-officio
seats in the convention, and that
is the assumption that to deliver
the issues over to the verdict of
universal suffrage, might imperil
the interests of the country. This
fear, at this stage, has proved to
be unfounded, and there seems
every reason to believe that the
voters will elect an able and pro-
gresssive set of men to the conven-
ton. Under these circumstances.
the reasons for the retention of the
Advisory Council entirely drop
away and its withdrawal would
be move in the interests
of popular government and
fair play. No more striking guar
antee of the patriotism and good
faith of the Councilmen could be
given than the adoption of such
course. 1t would be a proof that
their faith in American ideas and
institutions is what we know it to
be-a thing of deeds, and not of
words only.
1t has been suggested that some
of the Councillors will object to
the proposal here laid down, be-
cause they wish to take personal
part in the shaping of legislation.
We do not believe that any of them
are actuated by motive which,
under the conditions, would be I'M
worthy. Those who are anxious to
carry through ideas of their own
can submit themselves to an cleo
ton by the people. If they cannot
endure this test they ought not to
complain if the further work of or
ganizing the Hawaiian Republic be
left to others.
The Minister of Finance has
justly observed that events in Ha-
waii move so rapidly that mea-
sures which, at the time of their
conception, seem more than liberal,
lag behind the popular demand
before they can be passed into law.
This remark applies with great
force to the proceedings for the
creation of a Republic. 1t is not
too late for the Government to
make a bold and radical move in
the direction of full popular govern
ment. Such a step would, in no
sense, be an abandonment of the
well-considered programme already
adopted. 1t would involve no ex-
pense, and no delay. 1t would
satisfy to the full a popular de-
mand, and would make the Consti-
tuition of our enfranchised Hawaii,
in every sense, the creation of the
people.

THE INCOME TAX.

1t is stated that the Tammany
General committee is opposed to the
income tax and that all the Tam
many members Of Congress will vote
against it. Bourke Cochran, who is
leading the opposition in the Ways
and Means committee against the
bill, is Tammany chief and 1t is be-
lieved that he vii! be supported by
the whole organization. The New
York Herald and the New York
Times, both of which are admins
tration papers, are against the tax,
while the New York World favors
it. The World asks Cochran
whether He thinks this pluto
cracy where wealth rules, not menu
1t also propounds the general in
curry, "How tax can be unpopular
which will apply to less than 100,>
600 out Of voting population of
10000 OO?"
The whole influence of the admin
istration is said to be used to defeat
the tax. \ strong minority of the
Democratic members of the Ways
and Means committee is opposed to
it and if the Republican members
vote with this minority, the majority
report of the committee will be
against the income tax.
In 1888 an income tax bill was
passed by Congres@ The objections
urged against it then were that it
was inquisitoral in its character and
would incite perjury. 1t was claimed
by Its advocates that it was one of
the most equitable methods OF tax
alton as people should pay taxes in
proportion to their ability. The bin
became a law and remained IN force
until 1871, and then a bill to repeal
it received only one majority in each
