Finally, we will say that the sounder
we are financially the sounder will be
our chances of annexation. If our finan-
cial situation, as proposed by Minister
Damon, is sound, we can then take a
strong stand when we come into the
United States, and can talk not as beg
gars, but as men who have done their
very best with the one talent that has
been given them. If we recollect cor
reetIy, the gentleman that had one tai
ent well invested got the command of
many cities.
The Senate has truly done itself
proud" and now we trust to see some
craftsmanship from the House. Under
another form the same question can
come up there.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1896-04-28
KILLING THE REgUNDING BILL.

The Senate, or at least seven members
of it. has done itself proud. The SEN
tence may be ungrammatical, but 1t is
to the point. Their action may have
been eminently unpatriotic, may have
been aimed at only keeping the dollars
of interest in certain pockets, but it is
also to the point 1t has killed bills Is
and 10.
We have criticised Mr.. Damon's finan-
cial policy in certain lines, but we do
not propose to come now with any "we
told you so.''
Minister Damon in his funding bill
had evidently thought out the question
that was before him and the whole
country. He saw a chance, it was more
than a chance, it was almost a certain
ty, of reducing the interest on the debt
of the country, and also, at very small
expense, say $40, 900 year, getting ST.
eOO, 900 additional to carry on the very
largely needed public works of this
country.
Now let us look the situation squarely
in the face. The Senators, or rather
three senator's and their following of
four, saw this Bills Is and 19 provide
for a chance of a lower rate of interest
than six per cent. The prospects of the
sugar crop are advancing with each
mail that comes in. Cuba's crop, thanks
to her insurgents, will be almost nil,
and the island cannot recover for at
least two years We shall have among
half dozen of us $75O,OOO surplus cash
to invest, after paying every desire our
hearts can wish. We shall even have
$50, 900 more, but we won't talk of it.
For the $780, 900 we can get six per cent,
and the balance we will take four per
cent. or even two and a half per cent.
for 1t is we'll to look for rainy day.
So they killed bills.1S and 19, and have
kept bills 20 and q alive because those
provide for a loan, and the country
need not be afraid but that that loan
that six per cent. loan-will be taken
up here.

APRIL %.

The necessity for the curfew law
was emphasized by what was seen on
Saturday night. At 10 o'clock there
were at least one hundred children at
the merry-go-round, most of them with
out their parents. Of these, thirty odd
were girls ranging from eight to four
teen, and the rest boys. One OF the
girls was reported as lin liquor'-a poor
little thing of but thirteen years OF
age. Surely law such as the Marshal
called for will be of benefit TO the rising
generation, and should meet with no
opposition from the members Of either
Senate OF House. We do not desire to
preach or quote texts, but the texts are
many and the preaching can be pow
erful.

II might be well for the Foreign Of
fee to notify its consuls in the United
States that one N. B. Breckenridge is
wandering around telling the most alb
surd stories about the method of OBJ
tanning land in this country, and that
he is person not worthy of the slight
est notice. Breckenridge is a discharged
school teacher. He obtained money On
false pretenses in New York. He has
represented himself as the head of a
sugar bag syndicate, as traveller for
some Honolulu firms, and lastly as the
owner. of 1900 acres of land in Koolau,
Oahu. He hasn't an acre of land, is
the head of nothing and represents no.
body. Some people think him luna
tic However, his lunacy may take the
form it did in New York, and Hawaiian
consuls should warn firms as much as
possible.

ANNEXATION.

President Cleveland, in 1856, in his
message to Congress, cited his reasons
for a close and quick connection with
Hawaii, and, as Hugh Craig says, the
reasons are hundred-fold stronger to-
| day than they were at that date. In
connection with renewal of the reel
procity treaty the President said:
| Il express the unhesitating convic-
| ton that the enlargement of our rela-
tions with Hawaii should be empha-
sized. As a result of the reciprocity
treaty of 1875, these islands are vir-
tually an outpost for American COM
merce and stepping-stone to the grow
ing trade of the Pacific. Any PROPOSE
ton to abrogate this treaty would, in
my opinion, be most unadvisable. The
paramount influence that we have &C
quired there, once relinquished, can
only with difficulty be regained, and
valuable ground of vantage for our
selves might be converted into strong
hold for our commercial competitors.
The Importance of Geographic commu
nication should not be overlooked"
Again, on December Sd, 1888, Mr..
Cleveland wrote: I'm the vast field of
Oriental commerce now unfolded along
our Pacific borders, no feature presents
recommendations for Congressional act
ion greater than the establishment of
communication by submarine telegraph
with Honolulu. The geographical po-
sition of the Hawaiian group in rela-
ton to our Pacific States creates ma
tional inter-dependency and mutual
comfy of interest
These were the views eight years ago.
The. position has only been intensified.
This place is American in fact and
should be so in law. It is all very we'll
to talk of the phantom of annexation"
but the phantom" is very substan-
tial entity. Though annexation has not
come yet, assuredly it will come. Lord
Palmerston, in the fifties, foresaw it
when he said: "The time is not far dis
tant when the natural course of events
and the close commercial relations be-
tween the Hawaiian Government and
the United States will make them Ghe |
Islands) an integral portion
of the American system, either in the
shape of annexation or of an American
protectorate.'
The time that so astute politician |
as Lord Palmerston foresaw has now
come, and we feel confident that it will |
be no two years that will pass before |
the question of annexation will be set
tied in the affirmative. There are some |
ones in the country, and |
some traitors to the cause, but the re-
suits are certain. Whether there be
weakened or whether there be trait
ors, the march of events is sure and an
nexation or protectorate is sure Mean
while, as has been urged before in these
columns, our Government must be so
conducted that when we join
the, Republic we come with full, not
with empty, hands.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1896-04-28

The arguments made against the bills
were trivial Under the monarchy Sen
ator Brown said SIS, 900 had mysterious
Iy disappeared. There were many other
large sums that disappeared under that
regime He further said that the 'peo-
pie want home loan.'' Now, as far as
the people are concerned, all they
want is a cheap loan. We have very little
doubt that if the Government asked for
a twelve per cent. loan the people"
(which read capitalists) would be very
glad to withdraw large sums of money
invested abroad and to re-invest them
in Hawaii Mel. Senator Brown said that
he was convinced that no bonds of less
than so years should be issued. This
is exactly what the Minister of Finance
proposed in bill Is. AS for Senator
Browns fears about annexation, we do
not think it is necessary for him to sit
up nights nursing them. We should
recommend the Senator to sleep COM
fortably, if he can.
With regard to Senator McCandless,
we must agree with Minister Damon,
a man down a well cannot see above the
rim. AS far as we can judge, Senator
McCandless has kept down at the bot
tom of his well and has had a speaking
tube up to the bondholders above. What
the Senator heard we cannot say. But
