Frawley Company's Departure for
San Francisco on Mariposa.

Frawley Company's Departure for
San Francisco on MaripoSa.
The Frawley Company will long re-
member the farewell that was given
them aboard the Mariposa yesterday by
the representative people of Honolu-
lu. The decks of the steamer were so,
crowded that there was hardly room
to pass, and nearly every person who
went to make up that large gathering.
possessed either a lei or bunch of
flowers for some member of the Fraw-
ley Company.
All but Miss Blanche Bates, Messrs.
T. Daniel Frawley and Frank Worth
ing arrived quite a while before the de-
parture of the Mariposa, and found
much pleasure in a few pleasant words
with the many friends they have made
and the music of the Hawaiian Band,
stationed on the wharf.
Miss Bates and Messrs. Frawley and
Worthing arrived just a few minutes
before the departure of the steamer.
and were forced to remain at the foot
of the gangway until the ropes were
being united, for there were a large
number of people waiting to snI3thSr
them with flowers.
As the Mariposa hauled away from
the wharf the members of the Frawley
Company were scattered about here
and there on the deck, but just as she
was making the turn, they ran up as
far forward as possible, collected in a
little group and waved aloha with the
silk Hawaiian flags which had been
given them at the Hawaiian Hotel on
the evening before. 1t was indeed a
pretty sight to see them, laden as they
were with bright flowers and smiling
so happily at their friends on shore
Little Hope Ross was not ashamed to
let people see how she felt about leav-
ing Honolulu, and when no longer able
to repress her feelings. she had a good
cry, and then looked up smilingly
again.
Honoluluites will be glad to welcome
back again to their midst the Frawley
Company, who during the last three
weeks have given them so many pleas
ant evenings evenings spent in the
wholesome atmosphere of elevating
plays.

milton of the insurgents at this
time would very likely be taken
by Spain as a declaration of war.
President Cleveland has held of
from taking such action. but il is
not without the range of posi-
biliues that the popular sent
ment in the United States will
force him TO take more positive
action. During the Congress now
in session the Cuban resolutions
viii undoubtedly consume quite
as much time as appropriation
bills. and some very positive act
ion may be anticipated. The prin
cipal danger of war is in the quick
temper of the Spaniards. If such
nations as England and the Unit
ed States were involved. sober
Judgment would follow the first
fash of jingoism. but with Spain
an overt act is at any time liable
to force the United States TO up

the lighting is begun there is no
telling where it might end. The
dawn of Cuban liberty seems
near at hand. and it is TO be hoped
that the sober judgment of the
United States will prevail in pre-
venting any entangling alliances
that will lead TO greater destruc-
ton.

The theatrical season so pleas
antly opened and continued with
such complete satisfaction by the
Frawley Company is by all odds
the greatest success that has ever
been recorded since theatrical
companies became known TO Ho-
nolulu. Mr.. Frawley has given
his audiences all that was prom
ised in what might have been con
Sidered flattering advance notices.
and the people of Honolulu have
shown their appreciation. filling
the Opera House every evening
and turning GOOD gold coin into
the theatrical treasury. There is
every reason to believe that this
has been the banner engagement
for the Frawleys. and the com
pany have fulfilled their part of
the contract TO the letter. \ fair

is no doubt that should the com
pany return next year they Will
receive a hearty welcome, and

The Anglican Church Chronicle,
which begins its fifteenth volume
with the December number, re-
lates the following anecdote with
well merited satisfaction: 1T was
related by an old and dear friend,
who has been almost recluse for
many years. He SAYS that when
his intirmities become mbearable
and on the verge of driving him to
say or do something violent, he
always calls to his wife to bring
him the Anglican Church Chroni-
Gle to soothe him and to give him
advice how to treat his friends and
foes" He is indeed a happy editor
who finds that his opinions soothe
the troubled minds of his readers.
A good portion of newspaper read
ers confine their comments to sug-
gestions as to the manner in which
publications should be conducted.
We congratulate the Chronicle on
the success it has attained, and the
bright outlook for the future.

taking the question in hand indi-
Gates that the people Of the States
will have a pretty good idea of
how the public men stand, and
thus far the coneensus of opinion
appears quite favorable.
That President Mckinley will
include a strong foreign policy in
his program there can be no
doubt. The New York Sun, al
ways a firm friend Of Hawaii. and
always staunchly supporting the
administration policy that looks
TO extension of American power.
suggests in a recent issue that
..mayhap D. V" the United States
viii grow larger during President
McKinley's administration of the
government. 1t figures on Hawaii
and Cuba as follows:
For four years past. Hawaii
has been trying to get into the
American Union. She may get in
during the first year of the next
Presidents term of office. II is
possible that. before the end of
President Mckinlev's term of of
fee. free Cuba may apply for ad-
mission into the American Union.
If she does, we shall listen TO her
application and take il into con
Sideration. Hawaii has a fine stu
alton in the Pacific ocean. on the
way TO Asia. Cuba has a fine one
in the Atlantic, on the way TO the
ISthmuS and other regions of the
earth. Honolulu. the capital of
the Hawaiian Islands. is an at
ractive city. with population of
about $4,000. Havana. the CAPT
tai of Cuba. is a we'll defended
and opera-loving old city, and had
100000 inhabitants before Weyler
got there. Both Honolulu and Ha-
vana are seaports. well adapted
for commerce and shipping.
If President-elect Mckinley
has ever looked upon the charm
ing scenery of Hawaii and of
Cuba. and if he has any poetry
in his soul. we do not believe that
he would double-bar the door
against them if they should knock
al II during his Presidency. Both
the Hawaiian Islands and Cuba
may be better off vet. How they
would flourish under the Ameri-
can flag, Peace would be assured
To them. Their interests would be
promoted. President Dole and
President Cisneros Betancourt
would probably be members of
Congress.
we shall calmly await the
developments of the years tocome
after the exit of Grover Cleve-
land. And may the all-enlivening
sun ever shine upon the ever
advancing flag,
Assurance can be given that
Hawaii will be on hand asking
for admission. and the advancing
tag can't reach this country any
too soon.

SOUTH AFRICAN PROGRESS.

just now the great undevelopeC
territory Of South Africa Is at
tracing the attention Of the
world. The days Of North Ameri
can history when fortunes were
picked up in the street are be
ing repeated in The dark cont
nenL and a flood Of immigrants
and a wrangling Of nations TO win
the Spoils Of new and wealthy ter
rirorv Is the natural result.
The Similarity 10 early Ameri-
can DAYS Is indeed very marked.
There Is the motley array OF colo
nists and the flags Of Europe set
up here and there and jealously
guarded: the aboriginal race that
has enough fighting quality 10
make sufficiently hazardous the
life Of the fronuerSman; and
last but by no means least Is
anappaTenUy spontaneous growth
OF a republican spirit which holds
independence as a boon 10 be
bought dearly if need be. and
never sold at any cost. This re
publicanisp growing up in the
dark continent will undoubtedly
be heard from more positively as
years roll by.
on these general lines the SINH
lariJy holds. but in the treatment
Of the savage races a South Afri-
can writer maintains the people
OF the new territory are profting
by the unfortunate mistakes
which take not a little of the
glamor from the civilizing forces
that were active in the Western
hemisphere. The Americans wip-
ed out the savage. In Africa the
savage shows an adapubility TO
the conditions of civilization. and
II is hoped that assimilation may
take the place Of determination.
The writer also notes another
strong point Of dissimilarity which
we give in his own words: If
South Africa ever is absolutely in
dependent II will come. not as in
America, by bloodshed and long
estrangement. but gradually and
by natural process. 1t may never
assume the form Of federation in
any comprehensive sense. but two
or three broad propositions may
be confidently enunciated. There

cause Of order and civilization.
The tendency will be toward rep
resentati0n in all departments of
government. The dominating char
acter Of the radical movement will
be Anglo-Saxon. OF this last there
can be no possible doubt. There is
a substance and vitality in Eng
lish civilization by which 1t acts
on other civilizations ike a dis
solving acid. converting them into
its own essential quali.y. This is
most noticeable in the United
States, where the population is
so heterogeneous; and vet the civ

new Africa in the course of the
next century. just as We have
seen a new America in the present

Appointed General Manager Of the Columb "a,
Eooking Valley 4 ToledsFoday. Nv
CuumbuFPrcss. Monday
Mr.. WA. Mills has been appoint
ed general manager of the Colurr bus, +,
Hooking Valley and Toledo railroad. +.
The appointment was made this
morning by First Vice President
Samuel ID. Davis, and will be effect
i've from to-day. 1t was deemed adj
yisable by the vice president that
some immediate action be taken as
there was beginning to be a feeling
of unrest among the other officials,
and under any circumstances Il
would be better If some disposition
was made by Witch the roadWould
have somebody at the head. The
Office of general manager was Great
ed by Mr.. Mills appointment and this
means that the future management
of the road will be changed. Here
tofore the president was the general
manager and looked after the trans
portatlon part'of the business as well
as the financial.
Dating from this time the operation
and traffic of the road will be in
charge of Mr.. Mills and the finances
will be looked;after by the successor
to the late President G. G.. Waite,
who will be selected at the annual
meeting of tho board of directors to
be held in this city March II.
Mr.. Mills has been connected with
the road for over twenty-five years
and first entered service February Z,
1870, as clerk in the generarfreight
and ticket Department. After re-
naming three years and half in
this position he was appointed gen.
eral freight and ticket agent. Itthis
capacity heiserved six years and a
half and if the the separation of the
two departments in September, 1881,
he was made general freight agent.
On the completion of the Column
bus and Toledo railroad and the pur-
CHASE VI llle Olllo anu w cot uBihiu,
Mr.. Mills was made general freight
and passenger agent of both lines.
He continued in this position until
February %, 1898, when he was made
assistant to the president Of the CO.
lumbus, Hooking Valley and Toledo.
At noon today the officials of the
road called on the new general man
ager in body and offered congratu-
lations. After this was over, Vice
President Davis made short ad-
dress, in which he spoke feelingly of
the great loss the road had suffered
i'm the death of President Waite He
also took occasion to compliment
General Manager Mills on the effici-
ency of his corps of officials, and ex-
pressed hope that the road would
prosper in the future as it had in the
past.

Your Name


1t would hardly seem necessary at
this late day for any newspaper to
warn it's contributors that in every
case where communication is re-
ceived for publication, the name Of
author is required to be used in con-
nection with his, article or not, as he
may designate. The name is. indis-
pensable, although its use is not es-
sential. These facts we feel called
upon to state for the benefit of an
army of local correspondents who
have lately favored these columns
with many valuable communications
which have, unfortunately, remain.
ed unpublished because anonymous.
The attitude of the DEMOCRAT in re-
spect to such matters of local i'm
portance as taxation, good roads and
public works has occasioned the
large number of communications
thus received from appreciative
readers. We regret very much that
many of them have never seen the
light, because the writer's failed to
send their names in confidence to
the editor. We hope that such omis-
sions will be the exception and not
the rule in future.

The Ven ezuelan Difficulty

While the governments of Great
Britain, the United States and Ven-
ezuela are eXcrting all the arts OF
diplomacy to bring about settle
ment of the flfty-year dispute about
the boundary between Venezuela
and British Guiana, and keeping
their own counsels amateur diplo-
mats. are aspbusy as bees with sug-
gestion and much wise shaking OF
heads and learned pother.
Happily the danger of amateurism
and jingoism seems to be entirely
overpast. The people of both coun-
tries, having had time to think, pooh
pooh the idea of war as ridiculous.
There is hardly doubt that, while
an arrangement will be reached be-
tween Great Britain and Venezuela
direct, the hand of Venezuela wiki
be guided by the United States, and
the Monroe doctrine fully vindicat-
ed. This course should not be hu-
initiating TO the British Government
or people, and will be satisfactory to
all the American Governments from
Hadson's Bay to the Straits of Ma
'gellan.
With this controversy ended on
the lines laid down by the President
there is likely to follow Il better un-
derstandinp for the future in respect
of all European encroachments on
the American continent. AS the
chiefest party in interest of the Eu-
ropean Powers and as the greediest
of colonizers, the lines within which
England shall agree to an adjust
ment of her claims to territorial eX-
pansion will be recognized as gov
erning precedent.
