tons and accustomed to dealing
with governmental machinery on n
larger scale, begin to think that the
little Republic of the Pacific is try
ing to put on airs and enlarging
upon its own Importance. Again,
Hawaii says war" when numer-
Gus other nations would put an &C.
casion resulting in the same num-
Der of dead and wounded in the
role of SCRAPS" The usual run of
the citizens of the numerous other
nations, however, do not stop to
realize that the seriousness of even
dog fight depends largely upon
where it takes place and the condi-
tions attending the event.
We fully realize that such mis-
understanding, misrepresentation
or ridicule resulting from the cases
cited will neither make or break
the Republic, so far as its standing
as a nation is concerned !; at the
same time it brings to mind the
necessity of furnishing the
world at large, and the
United States in particular,
with correct information concern
ing the Hawaiian Republic. We
doubt very much if there has been
a time when there were as many in
the United States working so assid-
uously to cast discredit upon the
official acts and the honesty Of pur-
pose of those active Ia directing the
affairs of the Government. This
constant agitation has its effect
with a certain class, and every sup
porter of truth and justice ought to
consider himself personally respon-
sible for the dissemination Of facts
that shall refute the thoroughly in
furious impressions spread broad
cast by unfriendIy individuals. The
ought to have its
bureau Of information regularly
and systematic method
of giving out news to the outside
world. The liars will lie, no matter
how well they are treated, but
friends ought not to be allowed to
draw wrong impressions, which
might be corrected by a little extra
attention. If the country cannot
nave an organized bureau Of infor-
nation, the next best thing is a
conducted bureau estab-
ished by every loyal citizen of the
Republic.

ACCORDING to Secretary Ores
hams ruling in the Bowler case, it
will be impossible for the United
States to interfere for the protec-
ton of John NJ. Waller, a former
United States consul at Tamatave,
Madagascar, who has been impris-
oned by the French authorities.
Whether or no Waller took an oath
to support the Madagascar Govern
ment is not stated, but he did take
it upon himself to assist in the po-
itical battles of that Government.
The popular call in the United
States for an investigation Of the
case is quite marked, but Minister
Eustis maintains he has received
no orders bearing on the affair. It
will be truly interesting to watch
the manipulation and effect of the
new American policy.

TO DISSEMINATE TRUTH.

One of the numerous channels by
which false ideas of the conditions
in and about the Hawaiian Islands
are spread about the world, is the
avidity and sometimes recklessness
with which ''large" names are used
locally. There is certain amount of
dignity implied which, though inno-
cent enough in its surroundings,
pales to an almost Insignificant po-
sition when compared with the COM
mon acceptance of the terms in the
outside world. People of the United
States read that Hawaii has in
augurated revenue cutter service,
al Immediately the uninitiated
picture in their minds the trim
coast protectors of their own coun-
try.
What wonder is.it that, when it
is discovered that the exper-
mental revenue service is carried
on in small steam packet
rugged for the occasion, those
unacquainted with our condi-

SINCE the ratification of the new
treaty, Japan is said to be consid-
ering the ACCESSIBILITY Of raising
tariff rates to compare with those
of the United States. Unless we
are very much mistaken, the United
States has more reason to have it's
commercial eye on japan rather
than Japan on the United States.
The tariff howlers will find plenty
to draw telling comparison from
when they begin to collect figures
upon wages and cheap manufactures
in the Orient.

REFERENCE by Rev. Gormar

REFERENCE by Rev. German
Gilman to the close interest which
the sons and daughters of Maine
should have in Hawaii calls to
mind the prominent part which
some of the leading men Of that
State and their descendants have
played in the history of this coun-
try. Curi0usly enough, these men
have come either from the capital
city Of the State or within radius
of fifty miles of that place. I'm
doubtedly the anti-annexation con-
tingent would look upon that dis
trict of the United States as the
hotbed Of jingoism, yet the wisdom
and ability of James G. Blaine as
statesman is recognized by his
strongest political enemies. An
other interesting fact is that the
names of Blaine, Stevens and Sew
erance are honored in the Office of
the Kennebec Journal as having at
different times been upon the edit
orial role of that paper. This
peculiar meeting of men and their
principles in the antipodes is but
another proof of the much hack
neyed expression, Chow small the
world is"

THE Japanese colony is certainly
to be commended for the orderly
and successful manner in which
their celebration of the treaty of
peace was conducted. It is very
doubtful if the people representative
of western civilization could carry
on such an event under similar cir
cumstances with less friction or
display of feeling.

Timely 6oPies
IPrtI II, 1895.

Mr.. Ashford was long enough
in Hawaii to convince the peo-
pie that he can tell the differ
ence between "a 'awk han a
'au saw" and that he under
stands full well the value of
silence. He has about as
much intention of heading a
flibustering expedition as he
has of returning here and
standing as a candidate for
office. c. w. is a little joker
and the interview with the re-
porter in Frisco was one of his
| Jokes. When Mr.. Ashford
left here, his main thought
was to do something in the
behalf of his brother. The
people here who know him
will not believe that a flibus-
tering expedition is in the line
of assistance to that person.
Some time ago, we pur-
chased lot of European wire
and Immediately afterward
some parties circulated a re-
port that the quality had been
affected by some unknown
cause and that it was not up
to the standard of the Am
er5caas product. We had a half
dozen coils of the wire tested
at the Iron Works and it
showed a tensile strength of
276o pounds. When this re-
port was published in this
column, the wire was sought
after by plantation managers
and individuals from Niihau to
Hawaii. The other day, to OBJ
lige a skeptic, we ordered a
hundred coils of American
wire from the Coast and as
it reached the store, we sent
a half dozen coils to the foun-
dry to have it tested. The
result showed a tensile
strength of 768 pounds or
about 1000 less than the Eu-
ropean article. We violate no
confidence when we tell you
that this American wire will
not be sold by us. We have
an abundance of the European
article and can supply all sizes
and in any quantity. This wire
with the steel stays and gal
vanized washers comprise the
necessary to use in
the celebrated Jones
Locked Fence than which no
stronger, cheaper or better
fence was ever made.

The Electric Plant booming.

The movement to establish an elec-
trlcal plant on this side Is by no means
q new one. T. Fellows Mason, president
of the board of trade. suggested the
idea about five years ago, but no ac-
tion was taken. The present under
taking seems to have taken hold and Is
being agitated. Already the stock sub
scribed is very large and search for
stockholders Is at u standstill. With
the cheapness of fuel and the proximity
OF the supply, the running Of plant
would be inexpensive. Near the Mount
Pleasant culm dump Is being suggested
as a site, also the Oxford dump, but
the latter place is not looked upon as
being or tainable owing to the success
f,Il working of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western culm breaker at
that point.
