To BE Named IN honor Of This CIty-Tn-
itiai Steps Towards Securing an APP
propriate Git for Her.
The honor Of having a man-of-war
named after ones native or adopted city
is considered by the residents OF that
city as highly desirable and they have
invariably shown their appreciation by
presenting to the craft bearing its name
handsome silver service or other
appropriate testimonial This shows
not only the interest taken in the new
ship, the assuming OF a sort Of God
fathersblp AS 10 we're. but links more
closely those who reside between the
walls Of wood and those Of slole and
brick.
The Navy Department has decided to
name one Of the new gunboats to be
built AZ Newport News after this city,
Wilmington. and II Is but fitting that
the good people OF this city should take
cognizance Of IT, Other cities have done
honor to themselves and their namesake
and Wilmington should not be behind
hand
With shis obi sct In view. the EVENING
JOURNAL has started a subscription list
the fund to be u.ed FOR the purchase OF
a silver service for The United States
gunboat Wilmington. The money re-
celved will be Acknowledged In these col
umns and held subject to the orders Of
a committee of citizens which will
be- selected later Another suggestion
the EVENING JOURNAL would make at this
point is that one OF Wilmington's many
charming aud fair daughters be chosen
TO christen the new craft when launched.
The Historical Society. Sons Of the
American Revolution. Delaware Clncin-
nati, aud the New Century Club should
all take hand In this work. and with
organ zsd effort on their part Il should
be au eaey task to raise handsome sum
for a royal testimonial.

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1895-01-03

THAT editor is fortunate who can
give the strong personality and
character to his paper through the
editorial columns, after the manner
of w. N. Armstrong, the retiring
editor of the ADVERTISER. Person
atty in journalism cannot be rele-
gated to the archives of past his
tory when he is in the editorial
chair. Mr.. Armstrong, by long
residence in the country and years
of experience in the diplomatic and
political circles of this and other
countries, has a wonderful store of
cold facts, which peculiarly equip
him for a leader of progressive
thought in Hawaii. AS a news
paper man, Mr.. Armstrong has the
right spirit, and those who have
been associated with him regret
his early departure. Although the
editorial management changes, the
ADVERTISER will continue in the
even tenor of its way, with no sky
rockets or red fire accompaniment.
We shall continue to furnish the
people with the latest news, and
the truth about it, and shall en-
deavor to direct the public mind in
the channels which will always
prove the greatest benefit to. the
citizens of the Republic of Hawaii.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1895-01-03

are right or wrong, and that if they
do not, they are not enforced. AS
society improves, customs, usages
and laws improve.
We have a law, here, forbidding
cruelty to animals. 1t is not en-
forced, excepting in this city. It is
dead letter. Everybody knows
it. And why? Because the Gus
toms, usages and thoughts of men
are not elevated enough to enforce
it. If horse is stolen, then Gus
toms, etc., work with wonderful
celebrity.
In these islands, the Anglo-Sax-
ons have now established their own
ideas of right" and maintain
them with the bayonet. We all
agree to it. We have simply and
effectively established our own Gus
toms, usages and ideas, and ended
the Empire of the calabash," be-
cause we don't like it. We may be
all wrong, as many communities
do 60 wrong, but we have done it.
There is no profound metaphysics
about it. We look at things one
way. The kanaka looks at them
in another way. We are the
stronger. After awhile, the Portu-
guese and the Japanese, with great
er numbers and growing intelli-
gence, may say, 1--WE will enforce
our way of thinking" Then, their
customs and usages and thoughts
will prevail. Our correspondent
infers, from Mr.. Carter's argument,
that we deem that che customs and
usages of the Calabash Empire pre-
vail under the Republic. They
do not, because we have, for the
time being, rooted them out; not
with ethical methods, but with
the bayonet. Give the kanaka an
unrestricted vote, take away the
bayonets, and the Calabash En-
pire would reappear, in some form.
We tried for sixty years to make
the natives think as we did. They
would not, and in self-preservation
we ended their rule.-LW. n. A.

State. It was a good story and
sold papers, but did not possess
one iota of truth. The only de-
Tense given the officials implicated
was the publication of their denial
in toto, of every reported incident.
Evil travels with greater rapidity
than virtue, and in how many
minds was the standard of honor
trusted servants of the people low
cred. True, such yarns are given
credence only among the great
unwashed," but this only makes it
matter of greater Importance
than the "great unwashed" should
have healthy reading matter.
1t is a misfortune that Japan
should have fallen a victim to the
work of the fakir, but it's prompt
investigation and speedy denial
will no doubt overcome the deroga-
tory effects Of the work of the war
correspondent. Would that the
progressive little nation could turn
its victorious forces upon the small
army of newspaper fakirs and sub
due them as completely as it has
its martial opponents.
