THOMAS G.. SHEARSlAN has ex-
planned himself in a pamphlet en-
titled "The Hawaiian Despotism."
He has shown what all honest
students of the situation have felt
all along, that his first TRADE was
for political purposes only and his
charges against the missionaries
and their sons were introduced in
order to give his political opinions
a new and peculiar setting; one
that would attract more attention
than that used by some of his po-
litical brethren. Mr.. Sherman
gives the missionaries full credit
for good faith and piety" and then
proceeds to give four reasons why
the Hawaiian Government has no
right to exist. His final accuse
tons TEEN with the same
spirit of deception and failure to
5LdLc WAOA0 ILubuc, LudL CAdIdCJCI-
lied the first. The book doesn't
amount to much, since it is moth
ing more than a revamping of Mug
wump ideas that have been parad-
ed before the public for the last
two years, but it is somewhat inter
esting because it shows the true
character of the man behind the
formidable array of condemnatory
language. What the Outlook says
of his statements regarding the
methods used in putting down the
recent rebellion applies to the
whole pamphlet: ''Mr. Sherman
cites no sufficient authority to sub
stantiste his reported facts, and
most readers of his pamphlet will
desire to hear the accused in their
own defense before passing judg-
ment upon these charges"

sault as did their taking up the
extension of the franchise in 1867,
and passing a bill far more radical
than the one they had denounced
and beaten Mr.. Gladstone FOR
bringing forward. Both Lord Sails
bury and Mr.. Balfour could point
to passages in speeches Of theirs
foreshadowing such a sea change.
Of course their home-rule bill
would be safe and honorable, of a
kind to bind the empire together,
and not the mad revolutionary
thing that the Gladstonians had
affrighted the country with. Fair
names and grave excuses could
easily be found in plenty if a polit-
ical exigency should compel the
Conservative leaders to take to
blessing what they had been ban
ming for ten years"

home RULE AND THE CONSERVATIVES

What of Home Rule d? is one of
the questions brought to mind by
the recent change of Great Brit
aims ministry which practically
sounded the death knell Of the
Liberals for some years to come.
As is remarked In q recent issue of
The Nation, the first impression
made by the downfall of the Rose
berry Government is that of a
tremendous and fruitless waste of
political energy. For nine years
the English Liberals have been
struggling to fulfill the aspirations
Of the Irish nation for self govern
ment in local affairs, and go far as
immediate results are concerned
they have little or nothing to show
for their efforts. But it is seldom
that the reformer reaps immediate
returns.
English political reform moves
IN ways as mysterious as those of
divine Providence, and no one who
recalls the manner in which Sir
Robert Peel forced his way to re-
peal the corn laws or Disraeli the
Conservatives to pass the Reform
bill of 1857, need despair yet of
seeing the Irish cause suddenly
spring into new vigor and promise,
even under a Tory cabinet.
"Mr. Chamberlain will be a
member of that cabinet, and he has
had a half-dozen Irish home-rule
bills up his sleeve any time these
ten years. No one who has marked
his shifty course for a decade past
would be shocked at the suggestion
that he might turn another sharp
corner and come out as the original
Irish home-ruler. In fact, for the
Conservatives in general, the advo-
cacy of some measure of Irish local
self-government would not now re-
quire so instantaneous a somer-

In the year 1855 japan
made a treaty with the Amer
lean Government, it being the
first commercial treaty ever
drafted by the former country.
From then on, for several
years, the intercourse with
foreign powers brought to
Japan an increased volume of
business, and still greater
benefits by demonstrating to
that country the distance be-
tween it and the more civilized
nations that the manner of
conducting their business in
terests with outside countries
were too crude.
Just at this time Eastern
mercantile houses commenced
directing their attention to-
wards Japan for closer bust
ness relations, but unfortu-
nately for them the report was
circulated that foreigners were
barred from doing any bust
ness in the Empire. Until 1868
Japan had very dark days."
but in that year the existing
form of government was over
thrown and a new dynasty
stepped into power with lead
ers who saw that the future of
the country depended on reci-
procity.
Aswe are all familiar with their
more modern history, it is need
less to describe their phenomi-
nal success and the rapidity
with which they adopted the
manners and customs of their
Eastern competitors.
1t is to be hoped that their
recent success in overthrowing
the Chinese will not so assure
them of their being unable to
err, that they will stand in the
light of their own advancement.
People say this is the fn-de-
seicle ace. but from the ap-
pearance of the streets of Ho-
nolulu, one would think that it
was the hn-de bicycle age.
Coming events cast their
shadows before them" as will
be plainly seen by the sale of
the MONARCH BICYCLE since It's
arrival in Hawaii nei. When
we first considered taking the
agency for the Monarch, we,
of course, expected that it
would give the other bicycle
agents something to think
about. No one, if they had
been asked to give a cODSer-
vative estimate on the length
of time it would take us to sell
our first consignment OF
eleven wheels, would have
guessed it correctly, and when
we state that it took exactly |
four days, we feel certain that |
they would have asked to see
our books in order to verify |
what we say. In fact, we are
glad we have the books to
show, otherwise we would be |
tempted to doubt our own
word.
Such has been the pheno-
menal sale of the MONARCH |
BICYCLE that we have been |
compelled to take orders for |
bicycles to arrive. This is a
point that we wish TO impress
upon you, that whatever you
may wish in the way Of a
Monarch as regards the diff |
ferent models, pedals etc, we
will only be too glad to order
for you, but on account of the
volume of orders that are daily
accumulating in the factory, it
is impossible for them to turn
out the goods as fast as the
can sell the wheels,
all these things
we can S11nnlN Vol On 1.nI,r

In Wall Street.


 stock exchange was characterized by strength almost throughout the entire day. The only weak spots to the market were the anthracite coalers and Chicago Cas- The first named ruled strong until late in the session, when Reading ran off from 17Ia to. 16A Jersey Central from 96A to 95ia; Delaware and Hudson from 129A to 129 and Lackawanna from 1G0ls to 159A Lackawanna subsequently, recovered to 160 Readings weakness was due to reports that the Earle-olcott contingent had parted with it's stock. The old rumor that the big New York companies were seeking the con- ing tendency of the shares. Chicago Gas held well until the last hour, when the price broke point to 73s. Western firms were prominent buyers of the stock during the early trading, Ae veto of the frontage bill not having materialized.
 The general market ruled strong, and ferred to were all in demand. London bought llberally of its favorites, and deal CTS report steady absorption of bonds for European account It is announed that Barring brothers have purchased $500,- 600 of Minneapolis Great Western per cents from the Great Northern Railway company. The shipments of securities to Europe this week, according to present in dications. will be very heavy.
 The sterling exchange market is feeling the influence of the heavy drawings against these purchases. and today the market was positively weak and posted rates were reduced 12c to $4.SSQ4 89la In
 
 exchanges the market for stocks was bene- fited by the copious rains in the spring wheat region. This led to good buyng of the Changers and these scored material gains It is understood that earnings of the Changers are opening and that April statements will be far better than gener- ally expected.
 In the Industrials American Sugar was the special card. The stock touched 115 and closed within fraction of this figure. Trading was heavy, 63, 100 shares changing hands. The rise was due to the further advance in refined. It is stated that the big refineries are not anxious for orders even at current figures, and are inclined to hold off for higher prices.

New York, May 6.-The Suns cotton re- view says: Cotton fell to points, re-

 point lower than at the close Saturday
 The sales were 124,600 bales. Liverpool
 declined 1-92d on the spot, with sales or

 clined points, but recovered this and ad-
 vanced to ? points. Manchester cloths were quiet and yarn offers scarce. Spot sales of 61 for spinning and $500 delivered on contract The southern spot markets

 showed no significance beyond that which attaches to those of a purely scalping | market. The. speculation has come to a pause, and the majority of operators are simply awaiting developments before em- barking in extensive ventures either for a rise or for decline Early in the day there was some depression, due to the menacing aspect of the RuSso-Japan ques- tion and to decline in Liverpool, not to
 mention the dullness of trade at Manches- ter. But on the decline the market ran into quite a number of buying orders, largely for short account for operators, who had become alarmed at the very neaVy rainfall in Texas, though the reports that a compromise had been reached in the mat ter of the Chinese treaty. no doubt also contributed in a measure to the firmness noticeable in the later transactions today. It seems too, that some operators bought on an idea that the next bureau report to be published on the 10th instant, will be of a bullish character. But as already intimated, it was a narrow market, and the business was mostly of a scalping nature, the great majority of operators either trad ing very lightly or else holding aloof alto gether pending further developments in the commercial world and the situation in Europe and Asia.

to the growing crop of the rains of last night and yesterday. Public holders and fortune shorts gave some support to the market at this time. The reports from Buffalo of the detention of a cargo of Chi cago wheat at that place on account of its being infected with weevil, were not call culated to help prices any. Statistical strength, and all of the foreign advices tended to depress prices. July wheat open ed from 63lsQ63$sc, sold between 63ss463A9 63A, closing at 62Ac, 1&M17sc lower than Saturday. Cash wheat, sample lots, sold at decline of 11sc from Saturday.
 The sentiment in corn was not entirely in accord with that existing in wheat. This to ascend while those of the finer grain were disposed to decline. The effect of tha excitement of weakness in wheat in the late season overcame the firmness dis played early by corn however, and in the end prices fell away and closed easy. July corn opened from 49A to 49ssc, sold between 497sM50d491sc, closing at 491s049kc, 1aG9sc of the market sales were made at steady prices-sugar refiners taking most of the offerings.
 Provisions-A quiet and firm market was noted in products. Spectators were un- decided as to the proper course to pursue and were watching for some movement on the part of the packers. Weakness in the live hog market communicated a similar tone to provisions early, but after the call there was unimportant buying accom- panied by firmness. The depression in grain later on in the session gave an easy feeling at the close. July pork and lard closed unchanged from Saturday, and July ribs were cents higher.
 The leading futures ranged as follows.
