A REPUBLICAN OPINION.

The San Francisco Chronicle,
after reviewing the history of the
United States in its Hawaiian pol
icy, takes the following editorial
view of the situation as it appears
today:
The actions of the President and
Secretary Gresham since the news
came of the royalist uprising would
| be amusing il they were not so con-
| temptible. They did not dare to resist
public opinion any longer, and orders
were issued at once for the Philadel-
phia to repair to Honolulu. 1t must
have been CALLING to them. They
cannot but know that the country will
recall the earnest warning Of Admiral
Walker and the words that have been
uttered in the Senate. Still 1t had to
be done. If the Philadelphia had not
been ordered to sail at once there
would have been q storm OF lnd1gna-
ton that would have forced Congress
/ TO act in some manner.
But now comes another semi. Official
| explanation from the White House,
apparently sent out for the purpose, at
| least with the hope, Of breaking the
force Of the public criticism of the
course of Cleveland and Gresham.
The vessel is sent to Honolulu, the
President says, not because there has
been any change in the policy Of the
administration, nor because there
seems to be any imminent necessity,
but only as a precautionary measure
for the protection Of American resi-
dents.
"An who take any interest in the
question" says Mr.. Cleveland,
Hshould keep in view that Hawaii is
entirely independent Of US, and that
in its relation to US it is a foreign
country" Thereupon he makes pub
lie the instructions sent by Gresham
TO Admiral Beardslee and to Minister
Willis. The whole of these instruc-
tions may be summed up in the word
non.intervention.
The disgraceful inconsistency of
these absurd pretensions is seen at
once, when the course of the President
and Mr.. Gresham toward the Provi-
sional Government of Hawaii is re-
called. When Cleveland was inaugu-
rated there had been a revolution in
the islands. The revolution was an
accomplished fact. The Provisional
Government had been recognized not
only by the United States, but by 9TH
er foreign powers.
Nevertheless Mr.. Cleveland and
Secretary Gresham deliberately plan
ned to overthrow that Government
and to reinstate the deposed Queen.
1t was a plan of non-intervention
with vengeance.
States for the nineteenth century is
written 1t will contain no single Incl
dent 80 entirely disgraceful as the Ha-
waiian policy of PresidenE Cleveland

For Perfect Work

than you have been used to paying for
inferior work right along.
AS a matter of fact, the ExPERT( p who
cleans your watch with pair of bellows
and crow-bar for 80 cents makes more
money than the honest workman who
does an honest job and charges an
honest price.
Because your watch is returned to you
running fairly we'll, it is no criterion that
it has been properly repaired. The great
annoyance attendant upon the repair
ing of watch, is that SO out of SO cannot
tell if the work is we'll done-but are
satisfied if the watch is keeping some
where near the correct time.
Who can see the jewel protruding half
way out of the plate, or worse, sunk down
through the plate, fastened in with q
little glue, or hammered in with sledge.
How often the EXPERT grinds off the
broken staff, sinks the jewel q little
lower, tells you he has put in a new
staff and charges you a little less than
the price and you go on your way rejoic-
ing. But some day you will discover the
fraud, such work cannot last long. It is
dear at any price, which you soon dis
cover to your sorrow.
Moral: Make no mistake; take it
where you know it will be well treated

of, 81 don't care, got 1t straight
that I was to have a drum. Some
ones been lying" And though
Johnny's drum was a concoction OF
his own brain he continues to be-
lieve until he is some years older
that "someone lied" about his
drum.
There were not a few Honolulu
people at the wharf Friday, who
can sympathize with Johnny Jones
and his drum not few who, like
the woman convinced against her
will, are of the same opinion still.
Although they can hardly believe
their senses, after what has "been
heard" and from such avowedly
'straight" sources, the fact still re-
mains as proven by the honorable
statements of honorable officials
that the Government at no time
had any idea of deporting Carl
Widemann or Willie Greig. The
work of the rumorologist was well
performed, and the public handled
his material in such a manner as to
make his claim for the right of
rumorology to position in the list
of sciences, a hard one to answer.
A rumor is sometimes a good
thing to let a man find out how he
would act in case of the fact. He
has time to reflect and guard
against doing anything rash the
next time.

Now Hawaii is being looked to
as an assistant in solving the race
problem of the Southern States.
The proposed scheme of shipping
the superfuous negro population
to this country is at once novel and
impracticable. The race problem
of this country is already suffici-
emily complicated without dump
ing a crowd of irresponsible negroes
on our shores, Notwithstanding "the
climate is similar to that of the
South, and the. conditions of life
would not necessitate a material
change" Possibly we should feel
deeply honored with being regarded
as able to solve a problem that is
puzzling the brains of a much larger
and more powerful Republic, but the
crown will certainly have to be re-
fused on this occasion. This is a
form of glory not sought for in
Hawaii.

SCIENCE IN RuxoRs.

No better locality for studying
the possibilities of rumors has ever
been offered than Honolulu since
the fifth day of January. The ru-
morer has become quite a necessa-
ny factor in the daily life Of the
community and his business has
virtually simmered down to a SCI
ence, though what position it takes
in the long line of scientific re-
search has yet to be determined.
Webster fails to give any defni-
ton that just fits the case, but as
that learned gentleman, 80 far as
we are able to learn, did not have
the benefit of a trip to Hawaii it is
not surprising that he skipped this
very important feature of his die
tionary. Hence the advocate of
the new science may be forgiven if
he manufactures a few words the
derivation of which Noah Webster
is not responsible.
Rumorology is in reality an ap-
piled science-a knowledge of pos
sibilities, generalities and wind
falls as explained, accounted for or
produced by fakes, jokes, guesses
and lies. It has its source in a
combination of the peculiarities of
human nature, one of which is
found in an overpowering curiosity
and the other in the impulse of
drowning man to grasp at a straw.
The rumorologist finds a good sub
ject for study in the small boy,
Johnny Jones, whose heart is set on
a drum for Christmas present. He
first starts with the desire to have
something on which he may pound
and make noise like other boys.
This desire soon becomes 80 thor
oughly part of his makeup that
the poor child is possessed of a
feeling that he certainly will have
q drum and Immediately sets off
to tell his playmates Tom, Dick |
and Harry, how he'll make his |
deaf grandmother's ears ring after |
Christmas. Tom, Dick and Harry |

DOR is made happy by the remark,
