FAYORING ANNEXATION.

The Richmond Despatch, of Vir-
ginia, U. s., one of the leading
papers in the South, is disposed to
favor the annexation of the islands
to the United States. 1t is one OF
the few papers, in the States, that
does. Its attitude is due, not only
to the intelligence and ability of its
editorial staff, but, mainly to the
advice and counsel of one, who al
though at no time, a resident Of
these islands, has taken the trouble,
for certain reasons, to investigate
our political situation, and remove
the "dense ignorance about Ha-
waiian affairs" of which DR..
Twombly has written.
The supporters of the Republic,
neither through the Government,
or through their political parties,
have made any serious attempts to
reach scores of influential papers,
in the States. The days of special
correspondence, and of long, sensa-
tional kilograms are over. OF the
5000 papers published in the States,
not fifty, probably, have any Eek
changes" with our papers, and of
the fifty, half are merely CONNER
cial papers. Of the scores of able
"dailies," published in the various
cities, with millions of readers,
hardly ten of them are in commun-
ication with these islands. Our
patriotic citizens spend many hours
in firing up their own souls, by
speeches at the rooms of the Amer
lean League, and elsewhere, but it
has never occurred to them that
there was need of perfecting some
sound and far-reaching plan, by
which the souls of the people of
the States could be kept on fire,
after the excitement of the revolu-
ton had ended.

An Australian Opinion.

The Sydney Morning Herald Of
September 9TH attributes the an
nexation of Necker Island by the
Hawaiian Republic to the injudi-
cious talk of an eminent visitor
from Australia, when visiting Ha-
waii. 1t says that one of the very
first things to have considered, in
the proposed laying of the cable,
was the title to Necker Island, but
there was the fatal fault of tardi-
ness in not acting promptly about
it. 1t admits that the island may
be within the sphere " of Hawai-
ian influence, and the act of annex
alton makes a valid title. 1t be-
lieves that the Hawaiian Republic
will not be mean about making
some arrangement by which the
cable can be landed there, and an
immense expense avoided. If the
Hawaiian Government is obdurate,
then the promoters of the cable
will not go out of their way to pro-
mote the welfare of Hawaii.

The MiOwera.

Friends of the Canadian-Austra-
liam line and Mr.. James Huddart
will be glad to hear that the
steamer Miowera is again on her
way to Australia. Since she left
Sydney last she has had perhaps
as much of misfortune as ever fell
to the lot of a mail steamer in a
brief period. Her first trouble be-
fel her on a reef outside of Homo
lulu. From there she was navigat-
ed to San Francisco, but the dock
ing charges there was not thought
to be suitable, and she steamed up
the Californian coast to Victoria,
British Columbia, where she was
locked and made snug for a voy-
age to England. There she under
went many alterations, including
fitting for the frozen meat trade.
An excursion was made to the
Norwegian fords, and there she
got on a reef, was foated, and
again locked and sent around to
London. She readily filled up with
passengers, and took final depart
ure for Sydney from Plymouth on
last Sunday. She is coming via
the Cape of Good Hope.-Sydney
Herald, Sept. 4.

FALSE STATEMENTS.

The item which we published
yesterday, and the one which we
publish today in another column,
from Ka Leo, show how the native
souls is fred up" by the lead
ers" who are, perhaps, loyal to the
ex-queen, but are wilfully or ignor-
antly betraying the native people.
These people, only now remnant
Of the numerous race which once
existed here, need, above all things,
kind, thoughtful and generous
treatment. Though they have ig-
norantly sold their birthright, and
voluntarily handed over their pro-
perty, for full value, to the whites,
and spent the proceeds in riotous
living, the whites are bound to
protect them. Their worst enemies
are men Of their own, or partially
Of their own race, just as the worst
enemies of Ireland have been Irish
men. If the supporters of the
Republic maliciously desired to
injure and crush the native people,
they could invent no better way of
doing it than that followed by the
native leaders" in their dealings
with their own people. Circum-
stances may make the history of
these little islands a matter of some
importance, and we desire to put
on record this fact, that in these
days the white friends of the natives
would like to make sunshine and
peace for them, but the native
leaders force them into the dark
ness. On the other hand, from a
military and purely political stand
point, it may be a good thing that
the leaders" have persistently
played the natives into the hands
of the reformers, by giving them
false information, which has con-
fused them, and allowed the Re-
public to, easily, get On its feet.

WORK FOR ANNEXATION.

The Rev. DR.. Twombly, of Bos-
ton, Mass, in a note to the editor of
this paper, alludes to the fact, that
people in the States are densely
ignorant of Hawaiian affairs" We
have known this, for a long time,
and have felt indignant at the fool
ishness, the want of foresight, and
the strange lack of enterprise, of
those who are interested in annexa-
ton, in not pushing the matter, be-
fore the people of the States. Our
Government is energetically keep
ing the matter before Washington,
but that Government is only, after
all, the puppet of the great people.
Deep interest has been taken by
those people in our revolution, and
in the I" beheading" business; but
that interest is much like the in
terest taken in a prize-fght or a
North Pole expedition. Every
community in the States has its
own vexatious problems to solve /;
many of which keep it awake
nights; and it don't care to take
up and wrestle with other and very
distant problems. Even really
vital questions of local self govern
ment become stale and tiresome.
The American Union Party is
devoted to annexation. 1t finds
plenty of time to pass resolutions,
and look into little matters of local
offices, but the work of putting the
great cause of annexation before
the Americans is really side
tracked.
The men who push the prospects
of the Nicaraguan canal, under
stand the art of putting their cause
before the people, and they are do
ing it in the most skilful manner,
through widely disseminated liter
AZURE.
If the American Union Party
would sincerely take up the subject
of removing the dense ignorance
in the States" of our affairs, and
advocate and push some large,
well-considered plan of doing it, it
would repel the charge, that it
wants annexation, but is not willing
to work for it, beyond the giving
a cordial support to the Republic.
There are very many ways in
which good work can be done.

Delegates Elected.

On Saturday evening a meeting
was held at the Court House in
Kaneohe, for the purpose of elect
ing delegates to the Convention,
which will nominate candidates for
the Senate and House of Represen-
tadves. The President, Mr.. F.
Palua, was absent, and Mr.. VIM.
Henry acted in his place, while
Mr.. H. c. Adams acted as secre-
tary, and Mr.. John Sheldon as in
terpreter. The delegates chosen
were Mr.. Palua and Mr.. Henry.
After this business was disposed of,
the meeting was addressed by Mr..
w. N. Armstrong and Mr.. w. E.
Rowell.

THE entertainment given, last
evening, to Mr.. HAYES, the Acting
British Commissioner and Consul
General, had not, so far as he is con-
cerned, any political significance
whatever. This we may state with
authority. No doubt some of those
who were present, would have been
glad to have given it political cast,
but tina. which was rendered and re-
ceived only as an expression of good
feeling, should not be construed to be
that which it was not.

Portuguese Fight at Kalihi.

Antonio Roderigues Bonito is a
plucky Portuguese. He rode up to
the police station at 9 o'clock last
evening, after two hours in the sad
die, and astonished the officers by
appearing with his face covered
with blood. Then he sank into a
chair. DR.. McGettigan was sum-
moned and dressed a bad scalp
wound. After it was attended to,
Antonio remounted his horse and
started for home, but this time he
was accompanied by a member of
the mounted police squad, who car
ried warrant for Frank Perrira,
the man who had assaulted An
tonic. The trouble occurred at
Anton Rossa's place at Kalihi, and
Perreira is said to have used a club
on the skull of his opponent.

Advices from Buenos Ayres tell of
an extraordinary murder trial in
which the murderer, a professor of
chemistry, killed his guests by in
oculating them with the bacilli of
cholera, and when assured that his
conviction was certain completed the
tragedy by taking a mysterious
poison. 1t is a weird and CHASTITY
story, and one which the up-to-date
novelist and ramatists will scarcely
fail to utilize in their respective
crafts.

JOHN RUSSELL YOUNG AND CHINA

We reprint, today, the article, on
China, written by John Russell
Young, and published in the New
York Herald. We, who are seri-
ously involved in the matter,
should carefully studyit. 1t should
be read to the children, in the
schools, for they should know all
about that vast empire, which is
moving towards US, as Mr.. Young
says, with a glacier-like pace.
Mr.. Young was the American
Minister to China, under General
Grants administration. He made
the tour of the world with him.
| No man knows the political situa-
ton, around the Yellow sea, better
than he.
1t was a significant remark made
to Mr.. Young, by Mr.. Delaine, of
the London Times, that he advised
young man, who was beginning
his career on the press, ''to study
the East" If it was well for him
to do so, how much more impor-
tant that we should study it, who
are so near to it. We are, our
selves, utterly helpless in the mat
ter, because we are weak, but, still,
clear knowledge of the situation
may serve US well at some time.
1t is quite possible that, in the
future, the Anglo-Saxon race with
its hundred millions of people may
combine, against the Chinese race,
with its three hundred millions.
1t will be for the interest of Great
Britain, that the United States,
hold and occupy these islands, as
the chief outpost.
The Mayor and Aldermen of San
Francisco, publicly welcomed the
Chinese in 1859, because their la
Dor was wanted. Burlingame
thought himself great statesman,
when he opened China up to the
Americans, and the Americans, be-
lieving that there was money in it,
said Amen. Now the people of
the Pacific Coast, and the people of
the United States, quake if Chi
naman looks at them. The "fore-
most people" on earth played a
little game, with the acute Mon
golian, but the cards came down
the sleeve of the "heathen Chinee,"
and he held, and now holds the
trumps. 1t is the most ridiculous
event of modern history. 1t may
be again said, how short is human

IN Koolau, the natives are deeply
interested in the law governing
wreckage. Many of them have Sc
cured small articles which have drift
ed over from Molokai, and they are
quite anxious to know something
about salvage" and other points
governing flotsam and jetsam, and
whether or not they must give up the
goods. At the present moment, poll
teal questions are out of sight, and
that of wreckage is at the front. Even
those who support the Republic are
ready to adopt local political plat
form with only one plank in it, "no
restoration of goods, no restoration of
monarchy: restoration of goods, res
toration of monarchy" So far as Koo-
lau is concerned, the Republic must
wait until this serious matter is dis
posed of.

THE HOTEL CONCERT.
Mr.. HAYES Listens to the Playing
of the Old Band.

Acting British Commissioner A,
G. S. Halves listened to the old
band last night. Attended by Mr..
Sanford Fleming and number
of other friends he remained in the
hotel lanai until the strains Of
"God Save the Queen" and "Ha-
wall Ponoi" were lost in the dis
lance.
The grounds were literally
packed with lovers of music and
they swarmed the steps of the no.
tel and adjacent cottages.
The music was excellent and
heartily enjoyed by all. Before
the concert Mr.. Halves said to a
reporter for the ADVERTISER
81 am sorry that it should have
even been limited that this concert
might have a political bearing. l
have tried to keep out of politics in
Honolulu, and shall certainly con-
tinue to do so. Not long ago 1 ex-
pressed a wish at a social gathering
that l might listen to the old Ha-
waiian band, of which l have heard
much, both here and abroad. This
concert, 1 believe, is the outcome
of my chance remark"
After the concert Mr.. Halves
said he had enjoyed himself huge
ly, and that the musicians were
well worthy the praise that has
been bestowed on them.

The Holomua and IA Leo continue
to abuse the Government and the edi-
tor of the ADVERTISER, in the most
expressive "pidgeon English" AS
Mrs. Camp said, it is beautiful Ian
guidge." The next burst of indigna-
ton may be expected in about this
way: "Mr Dolce belly bad piece;
we makee him top side down; we
punchee him head" 1t is believed
that the Chinese have had something
to do with the opposition press, from
time to time, and as they have taken
many Of the taro patches from the
natives, so they may take away their
newspapers.

ONE man on the island of Oahu will
enjoy a prominence on election day
probably never accorded an indivi-
dual before. He lives in the seventh
precinct and is the only person to
register there, consequently will be
the only voter. For his benefit the
polls will be open all day with the
usual accessories of judges and clerks
at an expense of $50. Then-what if
he shouldn't vote?

October 2, 1894.

Frogs are prolific and so are
the rose bugs. 1t seems to the
casual observer that some
thing else might be tried
while the public is waiting for
the frogs to multiply and
watching the foliage disap-
pear from view. So far the
frogs are not in it with the
bugs or even adjacent there
unto. A gentleman from the
Coast suggests that the King
Bat be imported as an expert
ment and we do not see why
it would not be a successful
one. The cunning rose bug
does it work at night when
birds and chickens are at rest;
the bat spends its days in
sweet repose and gets its liv-
ing after dark. Just how
prolific the bat is we do not
know but it is a hungry
thing that might make its in
fuence felt on the bugs. Give
it a trial Mr.. Commissioner of
Agriculture and if it is a sue
cess a laurel wreath will be
yours.
The introduction of wind
mills other than the Aermotor
seems to have given an i'm
petus to the windmill bust
ness that was rather unexpect-
ed. 1t is probably because
the people here known what
the Aermotor is and they are
unacquainted with other MAX
es. When the Aermotor was
introduced people were a lit
tie backward about trying it
because it was an experiment;
now that we have a hundred
or more in use the public looks
upon it as a staple just the
same as sugar or salt. They
know what it is before buying
it and they know what work
the mill will do before it is
placed in position. An adj
vantage the Aermotor has
over other mills is the fact
that the larger ones are gear
ed and will operate pumps
that an ordinary mill will not.
The geared mill will also work
a saw, a grindstone and a feed
cutter and dear knows what
not. No other mill will do
this and for that reason the
Aermotor is better buy than
any other mill. Compared
with a steam engine it Will
do the same work without the
expense of fuel or a man to
attend it. There is scarcely a
place on the Islands where
there is not wind enough to
run an Aermotor twenty-four
hours a day. It's like interest
it works while you sleep;
and it never lets go. If we
had a side of this paper in
stead of a column we could
publish some testimonials
that would open your eyes to
the merits of this wonderful
