HAWAII AND THE PARTY WHIP.

Already the American press is
beginning to forecast the place
the present foreign policy of its
Government, in which Hawaii
plays a prominent part, will
take In the national campaign
of 1895. This is forecasting a
new order of affairs that can be
looked upon by the friends of Ha-
wall only with growing apprehen-
sion-bringing the party whip into
play upon Congressional represen-
tatives in their voice and vote
upon the Hawaiian question. AL
ready, by the vote taken In the
Senate, we have seen party lines
strictly drawn, and at every turn
of the wheel there are indications
of the Hawaiian question being
used as a political club to be swung
for campaign purposes. A Wash
ington correspondent, after refer
ring to the. division among the
Democrats, says: "The Republican
attitude is likely to be clearly de-
fined by the next Congress, and in
the platform of the next National
Convention. A declaration in favor
of the annexation of Hawaii is
thought to be certain"
Although pleased with this show
of friendship, previous history of
American political parties makes it
very proper inference that if Re-
publicans declare for annexation,
Democrats are very liable to come
out against it. Once the party
leaders map the policy, the rank
and file follow in the footsteps of
their forefathers, and, as a rule, are
willing to close. their eyes to little
matter of personal friendship for
Hawaii when the fate of a party is
at stake. Brought to the front as
a purely party measure, Hawaiian
is placed in an unfor-
tunate position, to saw the least.

TWO WAYS OF LOOKING AT IT.

The attitude of the United States
toward Hawaii today has become
so thoroughly mixed up that, were
it not for the serious nature of the
matters at stake it would actually
be amusing. There is certainly
more or less of the ridiculous about
it which we hope will be worked
out as the voice of the American
people makes itself felt: To the
casual observer President Cleve-
land, Secretary Gresham and Sec
rotary Herbert each appear to have
their own peculiar views and have
tempered their orders to subordi-
mates in these islands accordingly.
The Democracy in the Senate is
divided, Senator Morgan leading
the aggressive foreign policy move
ment, and Senator Gray posing as
champion of the new Cleveland
idea. Whatever changes may have
been rung in the past, the return of
Secretary Gresham to the old prin-
ciples indicate a possibility that
the Administration is coming to
realizing sense that it cannot hold
to the sentiments expressed by
Secretary Herbert.
The United States can no more
cast aside the duty of practical
suzerainty over the Hawaiian ISL
ands than a well-to-do father can
cest the child of his own flesh and
blood into the street because he
happens to take a personal dislike
to one whom he is in duty bound
to protect. After all the spirit of
Mr.. Gresham's order is to
an extent a reflection of the
Americanism that displayed
itself in universal condemnation
OF the policy that many Americans
regarded as a more or less direct
cause Of the instruction. Whether
this order was prompted by de-
sire to carry out the will of the
people or to battle the efforts of the
Republic, it is not for those suing
Tor favors and a closer relation than
mere moral support, to say.
There are two ways of looking at
1t, and time alone will tell the
story. Meanwhile the Republic of
Hawaii has only to continue in the

even tenor of it's way and preserve
law and order according to its own
ideas. If Secretary Gresham will
raise "Old Glory" over the Execu-
tive building and station a marine
with a rusty musket to protect It,
the country would be safe in let
ting every prisoner go, Scott free,
otherwise it will have to keep to
the mark of rigid prosecution un-
til some future day when the PEN
dulum of friendship swings this
way.
The San Francisco Chronicle
states one side of the case
pretty clearly when it says :
Gin matters of constituting and
enforcing their own laws, a
small nation stands on precisely
the same footing as a great one. Ii
an American citizen were duly
convicted of treason against the
German Empire or the French
Republic, we should have no sha-
dow of reason on which to demand,
or even ask, his release, and TIE
rule with regard to Hawaii is ex-
actly the same as with regard to
Germany or France. Hawaii is
kindly disposed toward the United
States, and might be willing to
grant Communication OF sentence as
q favor, when she could not, in
honor, concede it were it demanded
as a right. IF American diplomacy
shall succeed in saving anybody
from the galloWs it will be because
the Administration will have done
better than it ever has done since
Grover Cleveland took his seat for
a second term az President"

people, is crying for a new
opera house, now that the old
one that stood idle month In
and month out, is gone they
want a place of amusement.
There's nothing like being de-
prived of a thing to make
people feel they must have it.
But where is the money to
come from? The people here
who have money to spare are
not those who build theatres
or anything else through pub
lie spiritedness, there must be
in sight some return for the
investment and none can be
seen in the theatre project. 1t
is pretty well understood that
the old opera house was an
expense of about two thousand
dollars a year to its owners
with an offset of about $500
per year for rentals. Not
much money in the invest
ment is there? Americans
will tell you that there is not a
city the size of Honolulu any
where in the West but what
has its opera house and two or
three electric railway lines, but
if you ask who built them you
will learn that it was through
the energy and enterprise of
men who had corner lots and
outside property for sale.
Honolulu is one place on the
map that has not had, and
probably never will have, a
real estate boom; its "just a
stiddy growth" An opera
house will not bring any better
returns in Honolulu than
would an ice factory at the
North Pole and the people
who want one built know it.
How many people are there in
Honolulu that would subscribe
a thousand dollars each toward
building one? Not a dozen
outside the editors of the news
papers; but show an invest
ment that will bring them a
guaranteed return of IS per
cent. and they would tumble
over each other to put their
names down on the subscrip-
ton list.
If you are thinking about
painting your house you can
do nothing better than exam
inc our cards showing colors
of Hendry's Ready Mixed
Paints. You can find in the
just what you
need for either inside or out
side work, and you can get
more satisfactory results than
if you bought white lead and
oil and mixed you own colors.
The pigment in our mixed
paints is the best that can be
found anywhere; the lead is
Just lead, and the zinc is pure
zinc. You get no whiting and
oil in our compounds. These
paints will stand the
wear and tear of this climate
better than any other paint
manufactured. We simply ask
you to try them and see that
our statements regarding the
quality of the paint are not
exaggerated.

Interest in Y. N. C. A. Revival Mestinos.

| The revival meetings now being held in
THIS city are assuming such proportions
that they certainly demand the attention
OF the Christian public. From the first
meeting held in Association hall, the at
tendance has increased and the interest
grown very deep 1t is believed by the
leading Christian workers that the city is
to see an awakening such as it has never
known in its history. There has been no
excitement, no appeal to the emotional
sice OF mans nature but straightfor-
ward, earnest, Biblical presentation of the
truth and reliance upon the Holy Ghost
to AXE the application
The object thus far Of the evangelist
has been to show the Christian people
their true condition before God and az
peal TO them for a higher standard of
Christian living, full dedication of their
all to God and his service believing that
where this is done those on the outside of
the church will be comparatively easily
reached. The meetings during the past
week have certainly been of great power;
the one last evening when the evangelist,
taking for his text Restore unto me the
joy Of Thy salvation, showed where and
how many had lost this joy and peace
and how it could be regained, being ex-
ceptionally so.
The services arranged for tomorrow are
looked forward to with great anticipation
The mass meeting in the afternoon will
begin at 3. 80 and will be a meeting for
definite decision.
The union service in the evening will
begin at 7.30. The doors will not be
opened until Z, and the song service com
mencing as soon as the house is full The
evangelist will at this time ask and
answer the most important question that
can be put to church member or Chris
tian. This is thought to BIZ the important
service of the campaign. A large chorus
is being formed and it is also expected
solos will be sung.

very fashionable this coming season. Prof.

Y. W. G. T. U.

a noted statistician of England,
after long and careful Investigations,
comparisons and observations, has
established the following facts, pub
lished in the New York Witness
come time ago: Between the ages
of fifteen and twenty, where ten total
abstainers die, eighteen moderate
drinkers die. Between the ages of
twenty and thirty, ten of the former
and thirty -one of the latter. Between
thirty and forty years, forty moderate
drinkers to ten abstainers die. That
is: A total ahstainer twenty years
old has fair chance of living forty
four years longer; moderate drink
er has q chance of living only fifteen
and one half years longer. At forty
q total abstainer has a chance of Gv-
ing twenty eight years more and
moderate drinker only eleven and
two-thirds. We may talk and write
as eloquently as we will about the
fifteen hundred millions annually
spent in the United States for intoxi-
eating liquors, but half the truth is
not told unless we add the actual
money value of the wasted mental
and physical resources of thousands
of otherwise noble and useful citi-
zens, destroyed by that insidious
enemy of man-moderate drinking"
