A CHANCE FOR WOMEN.

The need of woman suffrage is
clearly demonstrated in the case Of
Colonel Breckenridge, of Kentucky,
who, after being convicted in Court
of the most fragrant immoral con-
duct, presents himself as a candi-
date for reelection to Congress.
His male friends, to a large extent,
have rallied around him, and agree
with him that no immortality dis
qualities a man for craftsmanship.
The church of which he was a
member has again received him,
on the ground that his sins are
" forgiven" although he persisted
in his scandalous conduct for years
and until he was found out"
Then he asked to be forgiven, and
was informed by the Church that
he was forgiven"
But the women of Kentucky do
not take much stock in this COM
Portable penance, and have the
audacity, in the opinion of the
anti-sufragists, to hold that he has
disqualified himself for public life.
They have organized to defeat him
by appealing to the voters. Of
course they will be met by the
anti-suffrage leaders with the ques-
ton, " What do you know about
politics ?" just as the militia
colonel, pulling on his glittering
uniform for the first time, turned
on his gentle wife and fiercely ex-

A DIPLOMATIC FIASCO.

The correspondence submitted
by President Cleveland to Con
gress on the Samoan matter plainly
shows that The Government of tn,
United States has made a misera
bic failure in the effort to get q
footing in the Pacific. The CORE.
spondence submitted by tie Presi.
dent admits and regrets it.
The trouble arose, as it usually
does in such cases, from the igno-
rance of those dealing with a
subject about which they knew
little and failed to inform them
selves.
The American Commissioner,
before going to Berlin for the pur-
pose of concluding the Samoan
treaty with Germany, was seriously
warned by one who had some ac-
quaintance with Polynesian char
acter, that an agreement based on
the good faith and moral stamina
CT the Samoans, would signally
fail, and the result would be COM
plications and disorder. The mat
ter was illustrated to him by an
account of the native Hawaiian
character, its lack of "sand" and
moral staying qualities. The Com
missioner was too much of an
optimist to assent to these views,
and concluded treaty which has
only made confusion, and tends to
create in the public mind in Amer
lea distrust of any political ar
With the islands of the
Pacific. Whenever the question of
is discussed in Con-
gress the Samoan spectre will
rise and confront the friends of
Hawaii. We have no reason to be
discouraged if this should be the
case, but the lesson taught US by
this foolish act of American diplo-
macy in the Pacific is that our own
case should be so presented that
American statesmen may clearly
see that in this instance they will |
nave something better to bank on
han Samoan character.

CHINESE CITIZENSHIP.

Mr.. w. H. Wright, in a letter
addressed to the ADVERTISER, criti-
cizes the statement that the Chi
nese have no qualification for the
ballot beyond the possession of
taxable property within the Ha-
waiian jurisdiction. We are IN
able to discover any force in the
criticism. The mere possession of
taxable property is not and has
never been regarded, even in Ha-
wall, as a sufficient title upon which
to found the voting right. White
resident aliens have been hesitat-
ingly and doubtingly admitted to
vote here, in the face of much rea-
sonable opposition, because they
not only possessed property, but
were in cordial sympathy with our
laws and civilization, holding
themselves ready to maintain both
in every way in which a citizen
could. Their case certainly differs
widely from that of the alien Chi
nese, who are simply an advance
guard of the Orient pushed forward
into the Occident-an essentially
antipathetic and hostile element.
AS to the Chinese who are Ha-
waiian citizens, it may be freely
admitted that the exclusion of
them from the rights of citizens is
a logical absurdity, as well as an
injustice. They never
should have been naturalized at
all if they were not to share
the privileges of naturalization
This is simply a fresh illustration
of difficulty forced upon the
present by the policy or impolicy
Of the past.

A SOLUTION WILL BE FOUND.

There is no substantial reason
for any excitement regarding the
japanese and Chinese questions.
The japanese Government dis
plays friendly feeling towards
us, and insists only OF what it be-
lieves to be its rights under this
treaty.
The statements made by some
foolish persons, that our Govern
ment intends to yield to the de-
mands of the japanese Govern
ment, are wholly unwarranted and
misleading.
There are some serious questions
regarding immigration, but they
can be, and will be, settled salts
factorily, as both sides earnestly
seek fair solution of them.
The Government and the people
are one on this matter. So long as
the Japanese Government displays
a friendly feeling, and only asks
for the execution of treaty stipula-
tions, unfortunately made by the
monarchy, and are quite willing to
make any concessions in the mat
ter which do not reflect on
the Japanese people, there is no
occasion for excitement. The
whole subject may be left to
the Government, which, under
no circumstances, will act con-
trary to the best opinions of our
citizens.

The Monarchy Dead.

Information from the land where
Kalakaua once reigned, in COM
pany with other kings, and queens
of a less animated kind, indicates
that the royalists in the almost
republic of Hawaii-soon to be the
state of Hawaii-the followers of
Mrs. Dominis, have had very en-
joyable time for more than a year
past. Hawaiian newspapers per-
petually call attention to the men
tai buoyancy with which the ex-
queens attaches invariably regard
the steamer which is expected to
arrive "this evening or tomorrow"
The news for which they wait so
patiently has never made it's ap-
pearance, and the chances are that
it never will, but the Dominis
people will not give up, although
they acknowledge to have been
disappointed more times than they
can remember. They must be
lacking in intelligence = these
members of the opium and
lottery rings-or they would never
continue to imagine that the res
toration of Liliuokalani was even
possible-the Senate report made
that so plain that he who runs
might read with ease and with out
error. Annexation of the Islands
to the United States may be long
delayed, for there is division of
opinion as to the wisdom of such
move, but it can be accepted as a
settled fact, an interchangeable con-
dltion, that monarchy will never |
again control Hawaii. Royalist |
rumor-mongers may for time con-
tlnue to deceive themselves and |
annoy believers in good govern |
ment by their senseless chattering
and reiterated predictions of revo- |
luton, but such feeble agencies are
powerless to injure even the pres
ent form of government in the ISL
ands and will cease to be when the
provisional arrangement is sue
'eeded by the establishment of a
epublic.-Washington Star, Nav 5.

SUGAR AND ANNEXATION.

A strong letter appears in this
issue from Mr.. Hartwell which we
commend 10 the attention of all
those who are so ready to imagine
that the general interest and the
special interest of the planter can
never agree. We are with Mr..
Hartwell in believing that the
planters have something to gain by
annexation, and we believe that
the planters themselves are not
slow to perceive the facts as they
are. OF course it is very easy to
see what the sugar industry has to
fear from annexation. The present
system of contract labor could not
continue. This system, however,
is an evil one, and, from the econo-
mical point of view, one which is
very costly and unsatisfactory.
This we know to be the view of
many planters, who say that they
would be very glad to get rid of the
contract, and that, with free labor
market to draw on, they could well
afford to pay higher wages to labor.
Annexation would probably give
this free labor market in the end,
and with it would ensure the pros
perity of the sugar industry.
What the planters, in all likeli-
hood, fear most from annexation is
the uncertainty of it's effects. They
know what they have been able to DO
during the years of Hawaii's separ-
ate existence; but as to the future,
they have only conjectures, no
knowledge. At the same time, it
happens that they cannot evade
this uncertainty by remaining as
they are. The condition of an in
dependent republic is the most un-
certain of all.
Property makes people conserva-
tive. The sugar industry absorbs
practically all the capital of these
and its interests require
governmental stability more than
anything else. A strong govern
nent, one which is able to enforce
he laws, prevent incendiarism and
violence, is the imperative
need of the planters. Annexation
,ffers the certainty of such a gov
'rnment as nothing else does, and
his is an argument in its favor
which the planter who rides daily
trough his canefelds is not likely
o forget.

ENCOURAGING.

The mail by the Australia brings
despatch from Washington
which contains the chief news,
and the best news, which has come
across the water for many a weary
month. The text of it will be
found verbatim in this issue. The
Senate Finance Committee has in
serted in the Wilson Bill provis-
ion exempting Hawaiian pro-
ducts from duty. The duty on all
sugars will be 40 per cent. ad valo-
rem, or about a cent pound. Po-
sitive assurances are received from
the highest sources that there will
be no restoration, and that the Pre-
sident is friendly toward Consti-
tutional Republic. A vigorous eff
fort will be made to pass the Tur-
pie resolution, which contains a
specific declaration in favor of nom
interference with the Provisional
Government.
President Cleveland, it is stated,
has given Admiral Walker positive
instructions to acquire formal pos
session of a tract of land at Pearl
Harbor, and of the harbor itself.
The immense significance of all
this news is that it outlines the
future policy of the administration
toward Hawaii and shows that |
policy to be one of marked and I'M
mistakeable friendliness.

ALLEGED FALSE ENTRY.
A Japanese Merchant is Said to
Have Undervalued Goods.

A japanese merchant named
Gzaki, who keeps store in China
town. is in peck of trouble, and
if the Custom House people can
prove their charge, he stands q
good chance of being prosecuted
criminally, in addition to having
shipment of goods confscated. He
is charged with making a false
entry. Ozaki received a whole lot
of goods on the Gaelic and en-
tered the same at the Custom
house naming $1425 as the value.
There was such lot of merchan-
disc that the authorities made an
investigation, and they finally con-
cluded that the shipment was
worth 1884 instead of the amount
named by the merchant. Yester-
day officers were sent to the store
owned by the Japanese and the
goods were seized and Immediately
removed to the custom house, and
there they will remain until the
question is settled. AS soon az
Mr.. Castle concludes his investi-
CATION it is understood that the
Japanese storekeeper will be
arrested for making the alleged
false entry.
This incident proves that a Jap
anese invoice clerk ought to be
at the custom house to
prevent any such happening in
the future.

Four of the great American land
mortgage companies of the United
States, with aggregate outstanding
obligations amounting to $85,O00,-
600, have now suspended, and it
involves widespread misery and
ruin. These companies advanced
loans on the security of farms and
real estate in many of the western
States, and the lender believed that
he had the double security of the
land and the capital of the COM
panies. Investments of this nature,
bringing a rather high rate of in
terest, have been rather popular in
the eastern States and in Great
Britain, and vast sums of money
have been placed in the hands of
the managers of these companies.
But the chief difficulty has been in
the speculative value of the lands
taken for security, and in the want
of sound judgment on the part of
sub-agents. The fall in values
and the inability of the borrowers
to pay interest, have resulted in sus-
pensions, and deprives thousands
of people of the incomes which
they regarded as absolutely safe.

ACCORDING to a correspondent
writing from Kohaia, there is an
impression abroad that the Con-
stitutional Convention will elect
the first President. There is no
foundation for any such notion.
They may incorporate, if they see
fit, a provision in the Constitution
confirming the present incumbent
in Office, but they have no author
ity to elect anybody, nor indeed to
do anything except make a Con-
stitution.
