THE appointment of William r.
Castle to succeed Mr.. Thurston at
Washington will meet with uni
versal approval in this country and
ought to coincide with the finical
desires of Secretary Gresham. Mr..
Castle is loyal supporter of an
nexation and at the same time con-
servative in his expression of opln-
ions, a feature that will be appre-
ciated by the American Admins
tration. Both Mr.. Cleveland and
Mr.. Gresham ought to feel COM
plimented with the strenuous efforts
that have been put forward by this
Government to satisfy them in
every manner possible. Very
likely the fact that Mr.. Castle has
a few gray hairs in his head may
have good effect, since personal
peculiarities seem to have as
sumed more or less prominence in
the dealings with the Hawaiian
minister. However this may be,
without rejecting either upon Mr..
Thurston or the Cleveland admin
istration we can safely predict the
continuation of friendly relations
between the two governments and
the careful conduct of our affairs
in the hands of Mr.. Castle.

JAMES GORDON BENEFITS pre-
diction that half the battle had not
been fought when the armed con-
f1ict between China and Japan had
ended, is proving true to the letter.
Japan needs new territory and is
determined to get it, while the
European powers are equally de-
termined that it shall not encroach
upon countries which they have
jealousy watched for years. The
news that Formosa has been de-
clared O. republic and that it's
people will oppose Japanese con-
troll, smacks of foreign interference
under the guise of Formosan pat
riotism. The celebrity with which
the new republic is recognized by
foreign powers will Lave not a little
significance in determining just
how the land lays. If Formosa
stands alone, it will not take long
for Japan to subdue the country
with trained army fresh from a
victorious campaign. Should
France, however, take hand in
the affair and pose as protector of
weak but patriotic people, it is
quite possible that Japan will
again be hedged in and compelled
to be content with present condi-
lions.

wavering and readiness to "sop" IS
stronger, better organized and more
loyal, if such thing were possible,
than ever before.
Another significant feature OF
this gathering of citizens was the
kindly disposition displayed toward
those who have been misled by evil
teachers into steadily opposing the
present regime. The honest student
of passing events could not fail
to remark what President Dole
brought to notice, that a moral
patriotism favoring Cancellation of
opposing factions is the pervading
sentiment of government support
ers. Should, however, an attempt
be made at any future time to settle
the political differences by force of
arms, a patriotism of physical force,
that will never give up the ship,
will be found in every company of
the National Guard and every
squad of the Citizens Guard. These
are cold facts that can be depended
upon at every turn of the political
wheel. It is well for the people of
Hawaii to ponder over them. It is
well for the people of the United
States to realize them.

HOW THE REPUBLIC STANDS.

Any one who questions the
strength of the power behind the
Republic after having attended the
gathering at the drill shed Satur-
day evening, can only be compared
with a man butting his head
against a stone wall, hoping to dis
integrate the wall-the head is
bound to be the loser. And such
must be the fate of predictions of
discomfort and disruption which
the enemies of the Republic are
spreading broadcast throughout the
United States. The busybodies of
this country have about tired of
talking about &C an oligarchy on its
last legs" since every event of the
past two years has so thoroughly
proved the fallacy of such a claim.
During the past three months the
experts in rumorology have de-
cided, first, that that there was dis
ruption in the Cabinet; second,
that annexation was farce, mere
ly subterfuge put forward IN
order to hold fat Offices; third,
that Minister Thurston wanted to
restore the monarchy, and, last
but not least, that the Citizens
Guard was at skies and sevens and
ready to upset the present regime
when q good opportunity offered.
These are the stories that have
been embellished in one way and
another to prove that the Republic
of Hawaii is weak thing, ready
to give up without struggle and
trust to the tender mercies of its
enemies.
What are the facts in the case?
Far from there being dissension in
the Cabinet, the Executive is as
solid and as unanimous in it's pur-
poses to carry ont the will of the
people as the best organized Gov
eminent in the world Of nations
and when the people cease to make
annexation the one great political
object of this country they will be
obliged to look about for other men
as leaders, and not till that time.
Minister Thurston's idea Of restor-
ing the monarchy is to annex Ha-
vail to the United States and give
Kaiulani a comfortable pension-a
most commendable proposition.
Furthermore, the supporters OF the
Government, the bone and sinew
of this country were never more
united in rallying to the aid Of
their leaders or better able to pro-
tect the country from whatever
enemies may arise.
Not since the days just preceding
the revolution of '93, and later the
proclamation of the Republic, has a
more representative or enthusiastic
gathering been held in this coun-
try than that at the drill shed Sat
urday evening. The Citizens
Guard, to which, from "Tim Muir
rays crowd" to the missionary
gang" has been deputed SO much

Cleveland, Gresham and Com
pany that while Nicaragua
turned first to the United
States for help in her trouble
with England, the chief honors
of the settlement are carried
off by Nicaragua's neighbor,
Salvador.
A problem so difficult for the
Cleveland administration to
handle in any satisfactory way,
before Corinto was seized, has
now been easily solved through
the Salvadorean Minister in
London.
It is now asserted in Wash
ington that the suggestion to
Salvador to put herself forward
was made by the Department
of State. Be that as it may, it
does not take from her the
credit Of her act.
It only raises the question
why British occupation of Cor
into was awaited before
settlement was reached. Of
course, Salvador was power
less to demonstrate or reason
with England while threaten
ing her would have been out
of the question. Salvador has
not a solitary warship, nor is
she of such Importance to Eng
land that she could be counted
upon to help her. She simply
satisfied herself with the brief
est examination that Nicaragua
could and would pay the
money demanded by Great
Britain, offered herself as guar
antor, and the whole thing was
over.
Salvador is the smallest
sovereign state in this hemis-
phere. In area she is less than
New Jersey; in population not
equal to Connecticut. But in
Nicaragua's hour of distress it
is she, rather that has proved
herself the giant and the
United States the pigmy. 1t
is said that Coming events
cast their shadows before
them" Can it be possible
that the United States will
again play the part of the pig
my as regards diplomacy in
connection with these islands ?
Imitation is the sincerest
fattery and there can be no
better evidence Of the super
iority and value of the Pennsyl-
vina Lawn Mower. We re-
gard durability as the first i'm
portance, and with decent care
one of the mowers ought to
last a life time. We regard
beauty of design, which means
graceful outlines as being of
as much Importance as the
durability. 1t is one OF the
lightest and easiest running
lawn mowers ever placed upon
the market, a child can run it
and considers it is fun. A
well kept lawn is one of the
many things that go to make
home attractive and inviting.
You use the lawn mower to
keep the grass we'll trimmed,
but grass will not grow to any
extent without encouragement.

her to do everything.

COMMUNICATION.

EDITOR SIGNAL: In your issue of
May 30, | find the following: .lf
not, and you favor general prosper
ity, then drop all politics except free
silver l6 to l. There is no middle
ground.
Now, | do not like to find fault
with the SIGNAL, or anyone else, but
IL we stop at free silver [ fail to see
where the prosperity will come in.
Perhaps you think the capitalists
have been working for the last thirty
odd years to no purpose; but when
too late you will awake to the fact
that as far back as 1862 the capital
list started out to control labor by
controlling the money of the country.
In every village and town in the
land loan agencies were established,
and anyone who could secure loan
with real estate could borrow money.
There was double purpose in all
this; One was to draw interest, the
other to tie the borrower, and third
was to make times apparently good,
while the work was going forward
Perhaps you have read in an old
book, as | have, that s'debt is
slavery, than which there is moth
ing truer. Slowly but surely the
people were drawn into the trap.
The net was cast to gather of all
classes. Commencing at the head,
the government itself was taken in
first and firmly secured so there was
no possible escape. Next came
states, counties, cities, towns, manu-
featuring establishments, mercantile
houses, and last but not least, came
the farmers and stock men. Then
all OF the little concerns were brought
under the power of the klrgcr ones,

and through these things the wage
workers were brought into subsection.
1t makes no difference how men are
bound, whether by chains, obligations,
notes or bonds, they are not free
men. If not free then they must be
slaves. Then, if the present system
placed US in this condition, how can
the same system bring relief? Will
the class of men who have worked
for the last thirty-three years to
bring all things into subsection to
them be willing to turn us loose2 Or
do you think this picture overdrawn?
II you think the picture too highly
colored please go back to 1898. See
the plan that was adopted to force
Legislation to suit capital. We were
told that the Sherman law and the
Mckinley law must be repealed; that
capital had lost confidence: they were
afraid to invest for fear they would
have to take cheap money. The fact
was these two laws were in their way.
There were few million dollars of
silver being coined each year that
they could not control or draw inter
est on That was a crime that could
not go unpunnished. The loan offices
were closed, the banks shut their
doors and the courts began TO grind
out foreclosures. They were trying
their new machine that had been so
long building 1t was perfection.
Say, did you see the poor, driveling
slaves get into line last fall and vote
the approval Of the slave system?
Mr.. Carlisle said to the people of
Bowling Green, Kentucky, on May
25, 1895:
Before free coinage of silver can be
brought about another congress and an
other president favorable to 1t would have
to be elected. This would certainly take
three years, and before that time every
creditor in the country, seeing the coming
of cheap money, would call on his debtors
to liquidate before the cheap money was
in effect. This would bring upon the
country panic compared with which all
former pancs were nothing.
This is fair sample of the talk of
all the gold standard men and The
press that is controlled by them.
Now don't for moment take this
language as prophetic. These men
know what they are talking about
These are the acts that will be carried
out later, il they fail on other lines
The silver party is the safety valve
to the two old parties, organized by
the capitalists. They intend to sit
just hard enough on this valve to
keep it from blowing off too much
steam. 1t would not do to send all
of the dissatisfied voters to one party
it would make it too strong. Simple
division is the rule to work out the
problem and get the proper result. l
think you can see it later. We must
work by addition; put all the dissat-
sfied together. Change the system
and the result will change.
