A COMMISSION FOR NATIVES.

The Opposition press is strongly
opposed to the creation of a COM
mission which may examine into
the social and economical condition
of the natives. 1t declares that
such a commission would be at
once gobbled up by those fends in
human shape-the missionaries
who have, it claims, already abb
sorbed the substance of the natives
and their friends.
We believe that it would be wise,
safe and polite to put majority
of natives on that commission, with
the addition of several whites in
whom the natives have confidence.
But it should be carefully arranged
so that the whole truth shall be
brought out. 1t is charged by
the native leaders, who are only
mixed stock, that they and the
natives have been persistently
robbed by the missionaries, and
other whites, to the extent of mil
lions. AS the leaders, especially,
have been cruelty robbed, and are
now reduced to writing for news
papers for a living, it is of the ut
most Importance that an impartial
commission examine into the cir
cumstances of these Wholesale rob-
berries, and, if possible, restore their
vast fortunes to these suffering
men. 1t is about time that the
missionary miscreants" should
be brought up with a round turn.
1t appears, also, if the Opposition
press is correct, that although the
natives were only serfs in 1910,
only parts of the soil, delivered,
and taken with the land, until the
hour of the MAHELE, they had accu-
mulated vast wealth and stored it
away in caves, and preferred to use
stone axes instead of steel ones,
because they were really sharper
Then came the wicked mission
aries" who rifled the caves, and
reduced the natives from miserable
serfdom to something infinitely
worse. Let US find out all about
this through another commission.
The day of justice is dawning.

THE Japanese Government rec
ognizes the Republic of. Hawaii. 1t
hesitated to do 60 until the United
States, who hold a moral pre-emp-
ton of the islands, whatever the
government here is, had declared
its attitude. The policy of the
Japanese Government will be a
simple one. It will protect its own
citizens here, so far as it may do
so, within the rules of international
law. Beyond this, it will fully and
cordially recognize the traditional
rights of the United States to main
tain a dominant influence here.
Sapanese statesmen, and the repre-
sentative of that nation in these
islands, are able and discreet men,
and entertain no desire whatever to
alter or retard the manifest des-
tiny" of the great and the little
Republics, as they draw together,
by the course of events. If Japan
ever takes a part in that manifest
destiny, it will come naturally and
logically.

THE PHILADELPHIA RETURNS.

1t is definitely reported that the
Philadelphia will soon return to
this port. 1t is due entirely to the
action of the American Govern
ment. The Republic has not asked
for it. Opinions of the supporters of
the Republic are divided on the
question of the need of an Ameri-
can cruiser here. Many believe
that, after the experience of the
last two months, she is not needed.
Others, and the more conservative,
believe that, if not really needed,
her preser ce here will have some
good effect. There is a strong feel
ing in the States, that the large
property interests of Americans,
must be carefully protected, with
out regard to the political situa-
ton. At the same time, any blow
struck at any CT the white residents
here, will affect American interests
seriously. In protecting Ameri-
can interests, if they know it,
American marines will cover with
their guns all members of the An
glo-Saxon race. "Blood is thicker
than water" So said Commodore
Tatnall, when he sent his sailors
aboard of British warship, when
aground while fighting the Chinese,
at the Peiho river, and they hand
led Queen Victoria's guns as heart
lily as they handled those Of Brother
Jonathan.

NEW POLICE OFFICERS.
Changes in Heads of Departments
and the Mounted SQUAD.

There were several changes made
in the police department yesterday.
AS announced in the ADVERTISER,
Captain Andrews was appointed
Sheriff of Maui to succeed S. F.
Cnillingsworth, and Captain Par
ker was promoted to be senior Off
Ger of the force. He in turn is
succeeded by Captain Rosehill.
Mr.. August Hammer, who has
been in the Custom House, sue
ceeds Captain Rosehill. Mr.. Ham
mer is well known rs a custom
house guard and his appointment to
the force is generally commended.
The announcement of these
changes was made in the morning
when the men assembled to draw
pay.
Then in the evening further
changes were announced, this time
for the mounted police. When
the force reported for duty at s
" ClOCh bWO new ldCce W0I0 seen,
those of S. NJ. Katzer and Fred
erich Anderson appointed to take
the places of Ludlof and Harris.
The latter resigned from the force,
the former wac discharged. Cap
tain Klemme pronounces the re-
port that Ludloff was discharged
because he refused to join the
Schuetzen Club as ridiculous. He
says the man deserted his post
several nights in succession and
was caught at home in bed during
the early hours one morning. This
statement was borne out by a
number of the officers at the sta
ton.
Katzer and Anderson are old
cavalrymen, the former having
served in the U. S. and Austrian
armies and the latter in the Swed-
ish.

A LoUNGER, visiting the Geological
Gardens of Paris, could have seen,
several years ago, under large tree a
table with cloth, knives, forks, nap
kins, and courses of food upon it.
Around it were five trained monkeys,
who leaped into their places, seated
themselves on the high chairs, spread
out their napkins, and used the
knives and forks. At the head of the
table silently stood their keeper, who
concealed in the breast pocket of his
coat a small whip, the handle of
which only appeared. While the
monkeys eat and grinned and chat
tered, they constantly kept their eyes
on the keeper. Even when putting
food in their mouths they never took
their eyes off of him, because he had
a "spell" over them in that little
black whip. Whenever one of them,
forgetful of true Simian dignity,
jumped up and grabbed any food with
his fingers, the keeper moved his
hand towards the handle of the little
whip, which was not noticed by the
spectators, and the offending monkey
fell back into his seat and chartered
dreadfully about the tyranical crush
ing out of the true monkey spirit,
and the violation of his constitutional
rights but he did not grab for food.
Did you ever notice the handle of
Marshal Hitchcock's little whip?

COLONEL BRECKENRIDGE.

Common decency has won in the
Congressional election fight, in the
Kentucky district, and Brecken-
ridge is defeated. This election,
and the matters connected with it,
have obtained national notoriety.
Perhaps no scandal, involving a
public man, has been so wide
spread as this. One of the ablest
and most eloquent men in Congress;
after a verdict in a trial before
jury, but in fact trial before the
whole people, is convicted of in
famous conduct. Immediately after
it, he stood for reelection, and
attempted to face down his oppo-
nents. Owing to the traditional
and settled customs of social life in
Kentucky, he was supported by
many good men, and by some
women and clergymen. The feel
ing there is so strong that a mans
friends must stand by him when
he is down. There is a touch of
chivalry in it. But, in this case,
the best women and men in the
district rose up and engaged in the
political fight with remarkable
energy, Incidentally, some light
was thrown on the question of
woman's suffrage. Blood was drawn
on several occasions, and excited
men went to the meetings fully
armed collisions were expected to
take place all over the district. But
the presence of women prevented
any disturbances, and men took off
their hats when they came around.
It is also remarkable that no duels
were fought. This shows that pub
lie sentiment in Kentucky has ma
terially changed on that subject.
For, only several years ago, Judge
of the Supreme Court of that State
committed suicide because he could
not fight lawyer who had insulted
him. Underneath the apparent
facts of this curious election is
strata of social life which is very
interesting, and will, some day, be
a study. As it is, a brilliant man,
an eloquent statesman, undertook
to push back the rising tide of de-
cency, and did not succeed.

If Judge Widemann has gone to
England and Germany for the pur-
pose of securing the appointment Of
special commissioners by the govern
ments of these countries, who shall
investigate the political situation
here in the interests of restoration,
we are glad of it. We believe that
the nails in the coffin which holds the
monarchy, have been driven in so
deeply, no one will attempt to pull
them out. But if there is any who
does not believe it, it is just as well
for him to find out, whether or not
there are any claw hammers to be
had which will do it.

THE practice of shooting at the
targets by the military force should
be kept up. Aside from the several
advantages of the practice, it has a
most wholesome effect, as an sob
ject lesson" ia these days. Pro-
badly few appreciate its Importance
as an agency for preserving the
peace. The records of the shots
soon becomes known to others than
those who support the Republic.

PULLMAN AND HAWAII.

The official investigation into the
Pullman strike illustrates with un-
usual force, the deep-rooted desire,
if not instinct, CT man to own his
home. Those who have watched,
closely and for years, the expert
ments in social matters in Pull
man, have waited for the practical
verdict which would be given by
the workmen, without theories be-
hind them, who simply followed
out their instincts. 1t turns out,
finally, that, while they have at
command luxuries which were
denied to mobiles not many years
ago, they are dissatisfied because
they cannot secure homes, or fee
simple title to land, and without
these they are miserable. There
grew up in the British heart, hun
dreds of years ago, the idea that
mans house was his castle, into
which the King, even, could not
enter. This idea is strong, today,
in the States, and breaks up the
success of the Pullman place, al
though that city is the model one
of America.
The same idea came here with
those whom the native demagogues
call the missionary thieves" and
it urged them to insist on it and
secure, and they did secure, from
the King, the "kuleana," or home
stead, for the native, in fee simple
title, an act which changed him
from his condition ofserfdom to that
of independent ownership of the
land. This act is said, by many,
to have been the finest piece of
work ever done on these islands.
These wicked missionary thieves"
did for the Hawaiians, in 1910,
that which Mr.. Pullman, with all
the light cast on social questions,
by scientific thought before him,
and with vast wealth behind him,
has not done, simply because he
did not know how to do it. And
vet, he was told in advance that he
would end his experimental voyage
On this very snag. He was mil
lionaire, and not a philosopher.
DR.. Judd, and VIM. Richards, and
others, who secured the great ina
hele" Homestead Act), were only
plain, practical philosophers. The
native in Hawaii got his home
stead; the American workman in
Pullman did not.

While the larger number of the
natives are little reticent, in talk
ing over political matters, with
their white friends, in whom they
have confidence, they show, Incl
dentally, the drift of the real native
thought. On Kauai, for instance,
there never was, it is well-known,
any strong feeling of loyalty to the
Kalakaua dynasty, and, it is no.
ticeable, that the natives there do
not show any "aloha" for the ex-
queen. But there is, in the native
mind, an undercurrent of hostile
feeling toward the haole (white),
because he is prosperous, and the
native is not. This feeling is, un-
doubtedly, one of the minor causes
of the natives hesitation to regis
ter. Besides, many OF them con-
tinue to say, "Mr. Dole is not
good man, Mr.. Cleveland says SO,
and he writes letters to the queen
telling her so, and he says she
must not give up, as ne will help
her lust as soon as he gets a
chance" If he is told that all this
is untrue, he says, Whom shall
we believe? You say one thing,
and our people say another" Still,
in spite of these retarding infu-
ences, the natives slowly fall in
line.

A NATIVE COMMISSION.

The suggestion, made by the AD-
vERTIsER, of a commission, which
should especially consider the con-
dition of the native Hawaiians, is
misunderstood.
Aside from any economic rea-
soEs for it, it is of the utmost i'm
portance that the true relation of
the whites to the natives, on these
islands, should be exhaustively ex-
amined, and officially recorded.
Here, and here only, on the earth,
has the white race, while possess
ing the dominant wealth and in
telligence, willingly and Loyalty
submitted to native rule, until fur
ther submission meant jeopardy of
property, and uncertainty of the
administration of justice. The true
story about this is yet to be written,
and there is need of exact testi-
mony, which should now be taken,
under oath, from living natives, and
others.
One of Mr.. Blount's serious
charges against the whites here
was, that they had never dealt fair
" with the natives on the land
question.
Because the negroes of his own
State wanted ''forty acres of land
and mule" and couldn't make a
living with them, when they got
them, he thought that the natives
needed the same thing. He could
not understand that a half acre of
taro land had more value than
forty, or even a hundred acres, and
a mule.
Many good people in the States,
friends of the Republic, have con-
fused ideas on the subject, because
there have been conflicting state
ments made about it. The evil
dence given by Prof. Alexander,
before the Senate committee was
excellent, but we need more than
that. We should have a thorough
official investigation under oath
which will show how far-sighted
the friendly whites were TO the
natives; that the Homestead act
was quite sufficient for their needs.
There should be, also, a careful in
quiry into the reasons why the ma
tives abandoned taro cultivation,
and fishing, and rice cultivation.
If the whites kept them out of it,
let it be known.
Those who favor annexation
stand with clean hands before the
world, and if they are charged
with expressing the natives, they
should have ready complete, i'm
partial, exhaustive record of their
relations with them, from the time
they secured their emancipation
from serfdom. The charity of the
whites towards the native churches
and schools should be fully pre-
sented.
The present is the time for pre-
pairing thoroughly for the discus
sion of the annexation question,
which may soon be precipitated
upon US. We may be asked some
ugly questions, and we must be
prepared to meet them, fully and
honestly.

CHINA AND ANNEXATION.

| nave urleuy COueluoTeU the ouuCd-
tional processes, now, operating in
the United States, on the line Of
annexation.
Aside from this gradual inside
movement, there has suddenly
sprung up, like an apparition in the
night, an outside movement, which
is, and will be, a powerful educat-
ing influence in the same direc-
ton.
The war now existing between
China and Japan puts before the
American people, in very realistic
way, the supreme Importance of
Hawaii to the States.
No statesman, or prophet, or seer,
could conceive of a scheme, SO far
as human agency is concerned,
which would so thoroughly arouse
the attention of those people, and
direct it to their relations with tie
Orient.
The millions of Chinese" meant,
heretofore, to the American mind,
simply nothing, because these mil
lions were as still as mice, and had
never been troublesome, nor had
they "shown fight" an act which is
very dear to the Anglo-Saxon heart,
as an indication of moral power.
Nor had these millions grabbed at
anything, or even displayed tenn
per, when the great Christian ma
tions forced opium down their
threats, and insisted on their CIV
ing up their religious principles.
The average American citizen be-
lieved that a couple of rotten gun
boats could master the Chinese
empire. He also believed, if he
ever thought about it, that it was
simply foolish, and sort of spread
eagle affair, to talk about acquir-
ing any territory in the Pacific,
from which to guard the American
coast, because, he was told, that
the Chinese had only helpless
junks for war-ships, and fought
only with ancient muskets, or with
stink-pots.
The pending war is an educator,
and it shows to the Americans that
China is making rapid strides in
the art of modern warfare, and that
if the Chinese ever get into the way
of thirsting for American gore, they
will promptly attack American
ships, and American coast, espe-
cially as the Americans have per-
sistently, brutally, and uDjustly
outraged the rights of the Chinese.
Therefore, every shotted gun,
fired in this war, is a signal gun to
the United States, of the coming
events. Every naval fight is a
training which Chinese sailors are
getting, for some coming brush with
American cruisers. Every victory
won by the Chinese, will confirm
them in their hatred of the 'for-
eign devils"
The eyes of the American people
are always on Europe, and its vast
armies and navies. They must
now look the other way, and close
ly watch that cloud in the sky of
the Orient, which for centuries, has
been no larger than a mans hand,
but now, is developing a suspicious
energy, which may, before many
years have passed, cover all the
Western sky with the blackness of
a tornado. Across the pathway of
that cyclone, whenever it moves,
lies little Hawaii, and the Ameri-
cans are just beginning to find it
