APPLES OF SODOM.

An interesting feature Of the
present situation is the revival of
hope among the adherents of the
ex-Queen. Three or four weeks
ago, all but a few fanatics among
them admitted that restoration was
defunct, and they were ready to
accept the Republic. The Holo-
mua came out in favor of that
course, and ridiculed the royal
Commission which was sent to
Washington. Now, the tone of
feeling among our friends of the
lost cause has experienced great
change. Il has become radiantly,
exuberantly rosy. Commissioner
Blount has placed himself at the
service of the Commission. Secre,
tary Gresham has telegraphed it to
come 10 Washington at once, while
President Cleveland has sent an
autograph letter to the ex-Queen.
Who can resist such an array of
comforting facts? The Holomua
is convinced of the error of its
ways, and reviles not again, when
Elder Bush smites it first on one
cheek and then on the other.
This revival of hope is the last
flicker of a dying candle. The
Commission which has gone to
Washington 10 seek a partial
assurance that Mr.. Cleveland
is going to restore the mon
arehy, will have its labor for
its pains. 1t viii dawn at last
upon even the most recalcitrant
royalists that no deus CT machina is
going to help them, and that they
must work out their own salvation.
They will learn at last that the
smiling fruit, which they have
gazed at so long, are only apples of
Sodom, which turn to dust and
ashes in the mouth.
1t is pity that it should be so.
1t is a pity that so many thousand
Hawaiians should be deluded by
foolish hopes. wasting themselves
in the pursuit of phantoms. No
more striking commentary on their
unftness to rule can be imagined
than this slayish obedience which
makes them willing to surrender
rights and liberties to an absolute
sovereign.

THE Emperor of Germany has
lately shown on more than one &C.
casion a very conciliatory DISPOSE
ton toward France. At the time
Of President Carnot's assassination,
he released two French spies, and
now he has again done something
which evinees q strong desire to
cultivate relations Of peace and
kindliness with the Republic. The
great autumn parade has always
been held On September 2, the an
niversary of the fall of Sedan The
parade has thus become a kind of
celebration Of a day which is as
full of bitter memories to France
as it is glorious to Germany. This
year Emperor William has changed
the date, fixing it for the 18th Of
August. He has been criticised
for doing so, by some Germans
whose patriotism is of the exuber-
ant type, but none the less this &C
ton will be commended by disin-
terested observers all over the
world

H5t to surrender.

The State Department has de-
cided not TO surrender General
Antonio Ezeta and his fellow-refu-
gees, now on board the United
States gunboat Bennington at Lii
bertad, to the Government of Sal
vador. This decision was reached
after mature deliberation, and is
eminently humane and just. Tech
nically, the refusal to give up the
refugees was based upon the exem-
ption of political fugitives from the
purview of our extradition treaty
with Salvador but practically the
fear that General Ezeta would be
given short shrift by his enemies,
who now control the Government
Of the Central American Republic,
was paramount consideration in
determining the action of Secretary
Gresham. Whatever may be the
personal dement's of General An
tonic Ezeta, his return to certain
death at the hands of the success-
full Salvadorean revolutionists after
be had been received, wounded and
bleeding, as 4 refugee on board the

ONE Of the leading United States
Senators has introduced 8 resolu-

the negotiation Of an international
arbitration treaty with England.
Nothing could be done By The
United States more adapted to give

reign of universal peace, than the
negotiation of such g treaty,
Americans and English are one
blood, one religion, one political and

two great nations in the work Of
civilization in s federation which
would drive out the methods OF
violence and extend those Of justice
and law, may be thought by some
a dream Of the idealist, but it is q
dream which must surely be real

UTAH AS A STATE.

Both branches of Congress have
passed the bill to admit the terri
tory Of Utah as = state. The pop
ulation has long since passed the
point which makes admission JUS
66able, snd the only reason why
the admission Of the territory has
been delayed has been the fear Of
Mormouism. A Mormon governor
would probably be even more SEN
sitive on the subject of Federal IN
ter:erence than Al,geld, or any Of
tie ferocious, half educated dema-
gogues whom it has become the
fashion in the United States to
make governors out of.
lis astonishing how entirely this
fear Of the growing power Of Nor
monism" has died down in the last
few wears. People used to imagine
that polygsmous religion and so
ciety were likely to spread over the
whole Northwest. The tables are
turned. snd Utah itself is being
conquered by an immigration Of
Genules, attracted by the agricu.-
tural and mining wealth of the ter
ritory. The church of the Latter
Day Saints has seen the wisdom of
abandoning polygamy, and the in
dications are that before many
wears are over there viii be no
more Of that Institution in Utah
than there is unhappily to be
found in all Christian as well as
Pagan countries.
The turn that things have taken
is very encouraging to the political
optimist. Il is not so much the
agitation against polygamy that
won the victory as the strength Of
the modern, and in particular Of
the American, spirit. For one
thing, the fact revealed by the cen
sus that there are in the territory
10000 meu and only $1,000 wo-
men. contains & stronge. argument
against pOlygamy than anything
else which can be adduced. Am
erican life, in spite Of anarchists, la
Dor wars and extrayagant systems
of religion, is essentially healthy
and quite capable of throwing of
the diseases which attack it. We
shall see other storm clouds, which
now threaten TO oyerspread the
whole heavens. shrink to the size
of s mans hand, just as this
cloud Of polygamy has done. There
is, too, in these events across the
water q comforting analogy for
those who in Hawaii are fighting
the battle of good government and
industrial and social progress.
Obstacles and dangers simply
serve to awaken the courage and
stimulate the invention necessary
to conquer and overcome them.
It has proved SO here during the
past eighteen months, and it will
continue to be so until the forces
which have levelled a monarchy
and elevated a republic in our
midst shall have completed their
benefcent work.

MEMORIES OF HAWAII.

Captain Julius Palmer has pub
lished his letters to the Boston
Transcript, with some additions, in
s book which he calls Memories
Of Hawaii" It is 8 contribution
not 10 the history but TO the fiction
Of the revolution, Of the same type
as the letters Of Charles Nordhotf.
The author Of these letters Is
certainly q study. if not for the
pathologist at any rate for the psy-
eologist. To judge by the tone Of
his writings, he is not devoid Of s
kind Of sincerity, and yet the
letters betraY 3 blind fansticism
and bigotry which would be nat
ural enough in participant, but
in an outsider are something as
tonishing. The matter Of the cor
respondence Of course is familiar
to everyone who knows the old
royalist story. Captain Palmer
has adapted it in all its malignant
extremes. He is s worshipper Of
msjesty and retires in a state of
great exhilaration from 3 final visit
TO the ex-Queen intoxicated by the
kiss which he says he imprinted
on the royal palm. In this frame
of mind he waxeth dithyrambic
in praise of the regime that is past,
and in denunciation Of that which
is and is to come.
These letters abound in state
ments which are grossly false and
which show that their author is
either deliberately unuuthful or
grossly ignorant. Fer ignorance,
however, there can be no excuse.
Captain Palmer had, and claims 10
have used, exceptional opportuni-
ties for observation. Yet he repeats
as facts statements which are, on
the face Of them, incredible. and
which the least inquiry would have
exposed in all their naked falsity.
As one instance among scores, he
asserts that the expenditure of the
Provisional Government was double
that Of the monarchy.
What makes Captain Palmer's
attitude almost incomprehensible
is the fact that he seems to regard
the leaders Of the annexation parry
as men Of high character and IN
telligenee. He eulogizes the mis-
sionaries in the highest terms, and
denounees the anti-missionary feel
ing as foolish and absurd. In
action, however. ne assigns to these
intelligent and conscientious men
the role Of rascals.
The simple truth is that Captain
Palmer came here with his mind
made up, his opinions crystalized.
his prejudices rampant. He was
profoundly self-satisfed, and this
self-sstisfaetion was al armol
which nothing could pierce. He
was an anglomaniac, who had nc
sympathy with American expan-
sion and who could not see that
America had 8 civilizing mission in
the Pacific. He was a nonresident,
who did not believe il fighting for
rights, but recommended patience
and submission. What marvel j:
If, if such q man was unable tC
comprehend the upward movement
in Hawaii?

digging into the earth for
water. Mr.. John Ena while
investigating on his own ac-
count on some of his land
near Kamoiliili found a sub
terranean lake of excellent
water. So far as explored the
water bed is nearly one
hundred and fifty feet square
and has an average depth of
eight feet. Mr.. Ena expects
to pursue his exploration still
further and anticipates a rich
find. He is not free from
trouble in the matter for the
reason that should his hidden
lake cover an area of several
thousand feet he is not GER
tain as to the ownership. 1t
is generally understood that
when a man buys a piece of
land he owns everything
above and below him and if
Mr.. Ena's lake should encroach
under his neighbours property
there will be some difficulty
in locating a fence line and
regulating the stock of water.
Should the Government use it
for supplying the city it will
be hard matter even with a
meter system to say whether
the water used during the day
belonged to John Doe or John
Eua. Then again if it should
be found that the water con-
tanned Bacteria it would be a
question for the Government
to decide whether Doe or Ena
was responsible. There's no
use talking, nature does "a
great deal toward providing
things for humanity to worry
over, and an underground
lake will take the bloom of
youth even from the cheek of
councilman.
But jokes aside Mr.. Ena's
discovery is of untold value to
the people of Honolulu, mas
much as the water supply is
not sufficient to meet the every
day demand. The charms
which the Islands have held
for tourists for years are grad
ually dying through want of
nouriShing water, and steps
must sooner or later be taken
to remedy the trouble. If the
water in this hole is of the
right quality arrangements
should be made whereby the
FOLDERS of water privileges
could be benefited.
The Clauss Bread knife con-
tinues steadily to win the
confidence of the people. 1t

pective of price, that can be

Enamel Bath Tubs are as
necessary to a mans comfort
as a good fitting garment,
once it has been tried. A few
months ago a gentleman
bought one of us and put it in
a new house he was building.
In showing it to a friend the
other day he remarked that he
would not part with it for
double what it cost him. You
see he had got accustomed to
something good and recognize
ed the difference between it
and an ordinary zinc one.
Because these enamel tubs are
largely advertised and are
known to occupy places in the
houses of well-to-do people
does not mean that they are
so high priced that they are
out of sight of everyone but
the rich. They are moderate
in cost and within reach of
