American interests are paramount,
might we'll bring a blush Of shame
TO the cheek Of the Yankee, who is
proud to claim the protection OF
the American flag. The petition
of fifteen Englishmen was sufficient
to hold the Hyacinth against man
datory orders. The voice of the
whole American people or the ma
tons special envoy fails to have
an effect on it's present administra-
ton, though men and ships are ly-
ing idle In the Pacific navy yard.
The administration, by it's inaction,
is acting in direct opposition to
American sentiment, Irrespective
of party, as expressed by legisla-
lures and the press
Whatever else may be the source
of President Cleveland's policy, it
is not ignorance. Whether it is
due to jealousy of Mr.. Blaine's
policy, ill-feeling for Mr.. Harrison

nothing can sbe gained by laying
aside the facts We have stated, and
seeking consolation in the thought
that President CIeveland's tree of
Hawaiian knowledge has net been
properly nourished.

DOES CLEVELAND KNOW?

At a recent meeting in this city
at which annexation was the one
topic discussed, several speakers
gave voice to the thought that
President Cleveland was not to be
called to account for much of the
peanut-politics-policy, to which
this country has at times during
his administration been subjected
by the United States Government.
At that time there was a possible
room for doubt that President
Cleveland had been misled. Since
the publication of Admiral Walk
er's report, however, none can say
that President Cleveland and his
Cabinet are not in full possession
of the true situation, given in all
it's details by a we'll balanced,
clear headed, unbiased American
citizen. There is no shadow of
turning in the position occupied
by Admiral Walker. Without re-
serve he maps out his impressions
of the policy to be maintained
toward the protection of American
interests. Admiral Walker does
not stand alone, but has the sup
mort of Americans who from many
years of experience in the country
know whereof they speak. Form
erly we could give the President
the benefit of the doubt, but at the
present time if the administration
of the United States is still wan
dering in the wilderness of doubt
az to the necessities that will serve
the best interests of Hawaii it Is
because it has eyes and sees not,
and turns a deaf ear to the truth.
1t was only short time since
that the people repudiated the for
eign policy of President Cleveland.
Possibly he bears the punishment
for sins which have been commit
ted through the transformation of
underlings, but that there is little
tendency towards action to right
the wrong done is evidenced by
the reluctance with which Adj
miral Walkers report was
made public. That President
Cleveland may on some happy day
come to a reslizing sense of the
mutual benefits that would accrue
through the annexation of these

I'VE have advocated a doing
away much of the delicate, sweet
sounding phrases that characterize
the usual obituary notices, whether
the deceased isz deacon or q grind
ing, selfish man of the world. A Der
tain editor of the States has become
30 thoroughly imbued with this idea
that he laid himself open to .
thrashing by giving expression to
the following -" While it is almost
a crime to speak i'll of the dead, we
feel it our duty to tell the truth
about Miss Mary Boyer, who died
last night. She was a human hor-
net. She never spoke a decent
word about any being, living or
dead, and SANDER sprung from her
mouth like the toads from the girl
in the fairy tale. IF she goes to
heaven we don't want to be there,
and we believe we voice the senti-
ment of every man, woman and
young lady in this burg. We gladly
contribute quarter for ice for
Mary. She will need it." The
author of this epistle has drawn
conclusions which he has expressed
with remarkable clearness. While
he has caught the general trend of
the reform in obituaries, he can
hardly be expected to pose as one
of the bright and shining lights of
the cause.

ON TO WASHINGTON !

The mission Of Minister Hatch
to the United States can be made
one of great benefit TO this country
in the interests Of annexation.
There has been a growing feeling
in the country Of late that the Gov
eminent could increase it's activity
with advantage by presenting It's
plea of annexation before the pres
emit administration notwithstand-
ing it's attitude against the Pro-
visional Government. That Min
lister Hatch is going to the Pacific
Coast is an assured fact. On his
arrival he will place himself in
communication with Minister
Thurston who has undoubtedly re-
turned TO Washington from Por-
tugal, and learn the true situation
Of Hawaii,s hbpes in the present
Congress. Far bette would it be
for Mr.. Hatch to 20 directly to
Washington and again place the
cause Of annexation before Presi-
dent Cleveland and his Cabinet.
While We do not believe that
the present Congress will take
any action on the matter
Mr.. Hatch will at last have
the opportunity Of letting the
administration know that annex
alton is still a live issue and in
connection with Minister Thurston
can do much heroic work among
the members of the next Congress
if not the present. He can also
obtain a much clearer idea Of the
situation by personal contact than
by telegraph, and bring a thor
oughly comprehensive statement OF
the outlook for Hawaii to the Giti-
zens of the Republic. By all
means, Mr.. Hatch, On to Wash

VIII deny aud most people
believe that a large portion of
it comes in vessels plying be-
tween ports on the Pacific
Coast and the Hawaiian ISL
ands. To acknowledge this
as a fact is to argue that the
men who bring it here and
land it successfully are smart
er In their business than the
men employed by the Govern
ment to keep it out, Where's
the remedy?
On the other hand it IS
believed that opium is landed
from numerous small schoon-
ers sailing out of Victoria and
Vancouver, which clear for the
Japan Sea with permission to
stop and trade at ports In the
Hawaiian Islands. If the
sands on the beach, of the
small islands to windward
could bark their information
of the doings of these ''long
rakish crafts" what a yelping
there would be. There might
be a check put ON this class of
customers if the Government
would petition the Custom
House authorities of the
United States and British
Columbia at ports along the
Coast to deny the masters of
these small sailing vessels
clearance papers, such as is
mentioned above. A request
of this character would be
honored without a question,
and opium smuggling through
that source might have a set
back If in the opinion of the
Government it is not a good
thing to license the drug it
looks to a man up a tree, as
though extraordinary means
should be taken to prevent its
importation. What's the matter
with organizing a revenue
service and have a cut
ter that could do patrol work ?

Cattle Shipments Light.

The stockmen of the range west OF

the shipments for this year will be
lighter than for several y.ars past.
Last year saw aslarge movement of
cattle and the high prices which have
prevailed this year has prevented the
usual stocking up OF the ranges,
though many young cattle have come
in the past few weeks. These, though,
will not be ready for shipment this
fall. Some of the cattiemen place the
shipments at but half the usual num-
Der, but three fourths is a very con.
sentative estimate. and they may ex-
coed that. While the prices for young
cattle have advanced about Sc per
head, thew will not likely 20 much
higher, as one old dealer puts it.
"People will 20 eating meat if beef gets
too high, and the man who expects
much more of raise will be fooled, I"
The scarcity though is very likely to
sive higher prices for thip year than
