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
ernment could increase its activity
with advantage by presenting its
plea of annexation before the pres
ent administration notwithstand-
ing its attitude against the Pro-
yisional Government. That Min
lister Hatch is going to the Pacific
Coast is an assured fact. On his
arrival be 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 hopes in the present
Congress. Far better would it be
for Mr.. Hatch to 60 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 eiti-
zens of the Republic. By all
means, Mr.. Hatch, On to Wash

A NEW PENALTY.

In these days of political reform
a crank in England, who claims to
have mastered the science of good
government, insists that in an ideal
State there should be a pond in
some public place at every capita,
and that high officials who neglect
their minor duties should be ducked
in it by a committee of eminent
citizens, under certain regulations.
Whatever the condition may be
of other States, we believe that our
Republic is not advanced enough
for such ideal punishment. The
danger is that such an arrange
ment might become a popular
amusement, and the Cabinet might
be, on the slightest offense, hustled
off to the pond by public spirited
but indiscreet citizens. The old
way of holding conspicuous offend
ers up to the "scorn of mankind"
is not very effectual, but it is con-
servative, and really hurts nobody.

THAT editor is fortunate who can
give the strong personality and
character to his paper through the
editorial columns, after the manner
of W. N. Armstrong, the retiring
editor of the ADVERTISER. Person
ality in journalism cannot be rele-
gated to the archives of past his
tory when he is in the editorial
chair. Mr.. Armstrong, by long
residence in the country and years
of experience in the diplomatic and
political circles of this and other
countries, has wonderful store of
cold facts, which peculiarly equip
him for a leader of progressive
thought in Hawaii. AS a news
paper man, Mr.. Armstrong has the
right spirit, and those who have
been associated with him regret
his early departure. Although the
editorial management changes, the
ADVERTISER will continue in the
even tenor of its way, with no sky
rockets or red fire accompaniments.
We shall continue to furnish the
people with the latest news, and
the truth about it, and shall en-
deavor to direct the public mind in
the channels which will always
prove the greatest benefit to the
citizens of the Republic of Hawaii.

The administration, by its inaction,
is acting in direct opposition to

Whatever else may be the source
of President Cleveland's policy, it

properly nourished.

ons have now established their own
ideas of right" and maintain

agree to it. We have simply and
effectively established our own Gus

the Empire of the calabash," be-
cause we don't like it. We may be
all wrong, as many communities
do 60 wrong, but we have done 1t.
There is no profound metaphysics

do not, because we have, for the
time being, rooted them out; not

the bayonet. Give the kanaka an

LONG LEsGED.MEN, OR "CALIPlRs.

Captain Younghusband, of the
British army, in his book, sOn
short leave to Japan" says that
the japanese cavalry are not efici-
ent because their legs are too
short. Generations of riders be-
get sons with legs long in proper
ton to their bodies, and SO formed
as to fit, readily, the horses back"
This statement is rather startling.
because we are a horseback riding
people. After President Dole has
finished his draft of the land laws,
he should take up this subject.
The existence of a race of men,
here, who will resemble "calipers,
or walkers on stills, may have i'm
portant industrial consequences.
If the sugar and coffee indus
tries fail, and canaigre gives
out, there is no reason why
we should not fall back on
the ''caliper" industry. A COM
munity of long-legged men, or
"calipers," having legs and heads
only, wearing only trousers and
collars, would attract intelligent
tourists, and divide honors with the
volcano.
Besides, if the industry is de-
veloped, we shall be able to send
out hundreds of college-bred, re-
spectacle young men, of the "cali.
per" order, to the numerous dime
museums of the world, where, as
intelligent freaks" by their ex-
ample and conversation, they may
elevate mankind, and perpetuate
the work of the wicked mission
aries," besides remitting home
enormous incomes.
Of course, an Anti. .Caliper Soci-
ETY. would be started at once, which
would take the absurd position,
that "the horse was made for man,
and not man for the horse" and
that if the horse, directly or indi-
rectly, encourages the abnormal
growth of legs, he should be wiped
off the face of the earth.
We should class such conserva-
tives with the royalists, and set
Marshal Hitchcock on them.
Our great thinkers on political
economy in these islands, insist
on diversified industries" and
here is one which can be developed
under the most favorable condi-
tions. In time, the man with the
longest legs and the shortest body
may be entitled to the Presidency
of the Republic, on the principle of
natural selection.

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 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
its 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
port 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
as to the necessities that will serve
the best interests of Hawaii it ia
because it has eyes and sees not,
and turns 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 misinformation of
underlings, but that there is little
tendency towards action to right
the wrong done is evidenced by
the reluctance with which Ad-
miral Walkers report was
made public. That President
Cleveland may on some happy day
come to realizing sense of the
mutual benefits that would accrue
through the annexation of these
islands to the United States, we
still live in hopes, but that he is
now delaying action because of a
lack of knowledge, the events of
the past few months give no reas-
surance. The failure to station an
armed cruiser at this port, where
American interests are paramount,
might well 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.

THE name of B. F. Dillingham;
will long be remembered in these
islands. In the face of strong oppo-
sition and at the risk of being
classed as visionary enthusiast,
Mr.. Dillingham; has pushed for
ward improvements in this country
which cannot be overestimated in
development of our great sugar in
dustry and of Oahu island in par
ticular. He took step in advance
of the slow plodders and has lived
to see the day in which the good
results of his application of push,
tact and principle have been clear
ly demonstrated. The country
would advance with greater rapid
ity if more of its inhabitants had
the same energetic, Yankee spring
in their business boot-heel. We
publish this morning the prospec-
tus of the Oahu Sugar Company, of
which Mr.. Dillingham; is the lead
ing spirit. The advantages offered
by the company are clearly ex-
planned on another page. The CO.
operative scheme, which Mr..
Dillingham; suggests in connection
with the establishment of the new
plantation, is worthy of more than
a passing thought.

THE natives were much disturbed
on New Years Eve by repeated
and unusual rumors of uprisings.
Positive statements were made bv
many of them that at last the hour
had come and everything was
ready. Some of them left town
through fear of trouble. But there
was no gathering of the clans, and
the prison was not approached.
Peace everywhere prevailed, and

editor resigns his 0fhce. AS the
nautical men say, he hauls down
his flag, and gives back the COM
mission which he has held for a
longer period than he intended to
hold it.
He finds the ADVERTISER to be
a staunch old cruiser, rated in the
trade register as ian armed mer-
chantman." Her temporary cap
tain has found it pleasant cruising
sometimes getting pretty close on
the lee shore Of error sometimes
lying in the doldrums of doubt
sometimes suddenly struck by the
squalls of offended opinion some
times repulsing the yelling saw

into her rigging, with the black
flag, and skull and bones of mon
archy; sometimes chasing the
Flying Dutchman" of vague ru-
mors; sometimes taking soundings
in new channels of political action,
and putting up signal buoys over
dangerous shoals; and often lying
in the home ports, exchanging and
bartering the commodities of news
and thoughts which the commerce
in ideas demands or supplies.
As the resigning editor hands
back his commission, he becomes,
for a moment, confidential with his
readers, and tells them that the
publication of an acceptable news
paper in these islands, is an
uncommonly difficult task. The
high average intelligence of the
readers, demands the best journal
ism. But journalism has its COM
mercial side, and costly one. A
small community is confronted
with the fact that it cannot, as
rule, give sufficient support to good
journalism. Journalism in any
community is, in the long run,
just what its patrons make it.
Newspapers are not charitable in
stitutions, but mercantile ventures,
supplying what the market de-
mands, and they are not prone to
greatly vary from the average de-
mands Of the readers.
Iu'the racial contest, which the
Caucasian, here, has on his hands,
and which will grow sharper, as
time goes on, and the issues become
clearer, there will be a supreme
need of unity of thought and ac-

should become powerful agency,
and for this reason it should COM
mand the constant, cordial and,
indeed, unusual support of its
readers.

opium brought into the coun-
try contrary to law no one
will deny and 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 sma.t-
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

Deadly Work of a Deputy Marshal with q
Revolver.
Wagner, I. T., Oct. 25.-Two broth
ers, Zelke and Dick Crittenden, both
United States deputy marshals and In
dian police, were shot and killed Thurs
day in the main street of Wagner by
Ed Reed, also deputy United States
marshal. Reed, becoming involved in
drunken quarrel with Zeke, shot him
twice, Zeke getting in two shots at Reed
as he fell. Only a few minutes had
elapsed until Dick appeared on the
scene thirsting for blood, shooting his
revolver and daring the man that shot
his brother to come forth and he would
find battle. No sooner said than Reed
stepped into the street and both opened
fire, Reeds second shot with his Win
chester taking effect in Dicks side near
the heart. Sinking to the ground, he
died in few minutes. Reed, after due
deliberation, left for parts unknown.
The Crittenden brothers have shown
themselves good officers when sober
and have assisted in capturing several
of the noted outlaws of the territory,
and are well known throughout the
territory as brave men, never known to
finch under fire.
