MKINLEY'S HAWAIIAN POLICY

Citizens of Hawaii will be pleas
ed to note that President-elect Nc
Kinley's friends believe him to be
strongly in favor of handling the
Hawaiian question promptly and
handling it in such a manner as to
vindicate the policy of ex-President
Harrison. The principal import
ance attached to the Washington
dispatch is the indication that the
question of establishing the SUI
premacy of the United States in
this country will receive early CON
sideration; also that there seems to
be little or no disposition to oppose
carrying out Mr.. Harrison's policy,
and possibly confirming the origi-
nal treaty which he submitted to
the Senate. Mckinley is distinct
lively a party man." and besides
this is a warm personal and polih-
cal friend of Mr.. Harrison. 1t is
then by no means improbable that
he will take the first opportunity
to vindicate Harrison and his party
by completing the work which
Gresham attempted to tear down
and cast into disrepute.
The short interviews with Con
gressional representatives give the
promise that whatever opposition
to Hawaiian annexation arises will
not be of strictly partizan charac-
ter. Our old friend Senator Nor
gan stands true to the annexation
principles of the old time Democra-
cy. Senator PETER seems to be all
right ON the proposition of bring
ing Hawaii under complete control,
although unfortunate in his con-
clusion that a protectorate is the
best solution of the problem of how
that control shall be enforced.
The quiet condition of affairs
here seems to be the principal rea-
son why immediate action will not
be urged. We are glad to note the
confidence placed in the Republic,
ana certainly there will be no at
tempt to stir up discord to force the
issue. No one appreciates the gen
eral peaceful condition more than
the people here. At the same time,
there are forces at work which may |
become more threatening and for
midable to annexation interests
than internal dissensions. Settling |

brought out when street widening
or the extension of any public
work calls for contributions from
property owners. Honolulu is no
exception to the general rule. Busi-
ness men and property owners,
large and small, join in a move
ment to obtain extensive public
improvements; Legislators are la
bored with, and finally the neces-
sary authority is obtained to i'm
prove streets and beautify the city.
This point having been reached,
in nine cases ont of ten some of
these same business men and prop
erty owners suddenly discover that
the ten or twenty square feet of
land they must give up to the Gov
eminent is wonderfully choice and
valuable. They consider that one
of their rights as free born citizens
is to make the Government pay all
the property is worth, and more
too if possible. If the guardians of
the public purse have proper bust
ness sense, they of course refuse
to allow the price named, conse-
quently delay follows, and months
and sometimes years pass before
the much needed extension or i'm
provement can be accomplished.
There is not a property owner ON
Fort street who cannot we'll afford
to make the Government a present
of every inch of land required to
establish the new street lines, and
it is to be hoped that there will be
a fair appreciation of this fact
when the damage claims are pre-
scented. That damages should re-

Some Of the good people of the
community have seen fit to be
come very much excited because
ex-Queen Liliuokalani decided to
suddenly and quietly depart for
the United States on the steamer
China, Friday morning. In fact
the opposition are almost inclined
TO think that the political world

when a representative of former
royalty in Hawaii strikes the
United States like a comet out

Hawaii in its short history has
furnished much that is new and in
teresting, and Prof. Brigham has
usually worn the laurels for fer

reads like romance, and it is
doubtful if the Historical Society
will have a similar instance to re-
cord in many years.

WHO ARE THE POLITICAL
SHEARERS2

Judge Hart in a letter to an
evening paper says: To-day [ find
myself shorn of my political rights,
not even possessing a vote, though
having the necessary property and
other qualifications" This calls to
mind story told by Artemus
Ward of man who, while in the
bloom of youth, was thrust into
prison. His cell was the usual
cold, damp, cherries spot, the only
ray of light coming through the
dirty glass of an unbarred window.
For many years the prisoner paced
up and down in his dreary home,
bordering over how he might es-
cape. From youth to middle age,
and from middle age to second
childhood the cycle of years carried
him, and still he pondered over
some method of escape. One day
a happy thought struck him-he
opened the window and got out.
Judge Hart says he is shorn of
his political rights. There are 9TH
.ers who assume that they have been
shorn as well. Now we would like
to know who does the shearing, if
not the individuals themselves.
They are pacing up and down,
worrying over and bewailing their,
as they assert, half-clad political
condition; but as the prisoner had
only to open the window and get
out, so they have only to put aside
a little false pride and they can
be clothed with all necessary politi-
al rights.
Judge Hart fortunately admits
that his reason for remaining shorn
is because he does not like the party
in power. We are pleased to note
this admission, since it expresses
the sentiment Of all the rest of the
shorn ones who state that an insur-
mouhtable barrier has been raised
against their putting on more po-
litical cloth. This is a warm coun-
try, to be sure, but it is really dis
tressing that some of our good citi-
zens should, after voluntarily
themselves, attempt to ex-
cite sympathy by wailing in public
print that they are fast approach
ing a condition of political moth
lngness. They are shorn by their
own shears, and as citizens of ma
ton giving equal rights to all they
can remain shorn for all time to
come if such suits their fancy.

the doings of this society may

probably the result of attention

sition in history second only to the
original exponent of the Monroe
doctrine. The submission of the
Venezuela boundary dispute to I'M
restricted arbitration viii be a
complete victory for the United
States, and the precedent estab-
lished by Great Britain bowling to
the American principle will be suf-
fcient to cause every European ma
ton to be guarded in any attempt
to gain power by bulldozing weak
South American republic.
This self evident fact is felt all
over Europe, and both German and
French journals assert that neither
Germany or France will submit to
interference from the United States
should the nations have occasion
to make demands upon Spanish
American republics. 1t will be
time enough for other powers to
express their sentiments when their
diplomats have occasion to wrestle
with the American Interpretation
of the Monroe doctrine. The press
of Great Britain having become
aware that Mr. Cleveland has gain
ed his point, is now commiserating
the United States for the new and
terrible responsibility which has
been assumed. The Spectator, for
instance, laments over the folly of
a country like the United States,
without a standing army and
great fleet, putting itself in a po-
sition of being dragged into war
whenever a petulant American
half-caste state chooses to pass an
insult on an European power" Elk
ceeding joy over the outcome on
the part of the British press is not
to be expected.
The honor and satisfaction Of
maintaining a long cherished ma
tional principle is by no means the
only benefit derived to the Ameri-
cans. With the assurance that the
United States will act the bic
brother part in the time of dire ne
cessity, the South Americans will
receive with greater favor the ad-
vances made to divert trade from
European to American channels.
Already Europe is beginning to
feel the effects of American com
petition, and it was not long since
that an English editor in the West
Indies called attention to the grow
ing power of the Monroe doctrine
of trade.
By his strong Venezuelan policy
and his apparent intention to care
for the Cubans when the proper
time arrives, President Cleveland's |
foreign policy will be partially |
saved from the effects of the blot |
placed upon it in the early days of
his administration. Had he in those |
early days had an adviser like Sec
rotary Olney, who can say that his
administration would have been
saved the ignominy resulting from
the Hawaiian episode.
