The first link needed to bind Ha-
waii to Anglo-Saxon civilization is
cable. England wanted to lay it
several years ago. Looking to the
United States for salvation, the Re-
public of Hawaii refused to lease
the rock called Necl;er Island, which
was wanted to bring the proposed
Australian cable within range of
this country. As a savior the
United States is incomprehensible.
The longer l remain here the more
exasperated l become at a policy
that hurts the people here by keep
ing them in a feverish state of un-
rest, does our republic harm by pro-
longing the reign Of Asiatic labor
and makes us, secretly, the laugh
ing stock of observing foreign diplo-
matists, In our place there isn't a
European nation that would not
take possession Of Hawaii tomor-
row. As for Japan-well, a clever
Japanese said few days ago: "Yon
white people need not trouble about
japan for two years" 1t will take
this England of the Orient two
years to recuperate from her late
war with China. Meanwhile she
is creating navy as fast as money
and men can build it. One of her
ambitions is to control half the
Pacific Ocean. Why should she
not begin with Hawaii, where
thousands of her people abide1 She,
too, talks about laying a cable and
already is arranging for swift line
Of steamers to North America, TAX
ing in Hawaii.
Can Congress afford to ignore all
these signs of the times3 Self-pre-
servation should make the passage
of a cable bill as sure as was the
support given to President Cleve-
land in his Venezuelan policy. The
future of Hawaii is vastly more I'M
portant to us than the extension of
British possessions i'll South Amer
lea. The Monroe doctrine properly
interpreted III cans that no enemy to
republican lstitutions can be al
lowed to al proach our continent
The danger line is Hawaii, and so
far we refue to heed the signal.
Such madness is incredible. If
you doubt my warning ask Ad-
miral Walker, who was sent out
here by President Cleveland to
make report. Has Congress ever
read that report1 Has it ever been
published? If not, now is the time
to bring it before the public. Wal
ter Wellman wrote recently in the
Times-Heraid that when he grew
sick Of selfish scheming at the cap
itol he went to the Army and Navy
Club in Washington and regained
his spirits by listening to the un-
selfish patriotism of soldiers and
sailors. l 6nd the best American
citizens the best men of the navy.
To them the nation is all. Travel
has taught them the greatness and
the defects of the country whose
flag they love better than life. Let
Congress ask Admiral Walker to
tell them what he knows about
Hawaii. KATE FIELp.

An Armenian In his eighty-nrst year

IChicago L mes Herald, Feb 2l.1
Honolulu, Feb. with two
Richmonds in the field there seems
to be fair prospect of getting a
cable laid between San Francisco
and Hawaii. There is nothing
like competition 10 bestir the human
brain, and now that Colonel Spald-
ing's Pacific Cable Company has a
hated rival working away in
Washington, congressman should
receive vast amount of informa-
ton concerning this part of the
globe that ought to help them to
become American citizens, of whom
the capital has comparatively few
There are citizens of Virginia,
citizens OF Kentucky, citizens OF
Oregon, citizens of New Hamp
shire. All glue their eyes to their
bailiwicks and sneeze when their
constituents take snuff; but where
are politicians whose motto is the
nation?" Statesmen know there
can be no republic without con-
sulting and respecting the greatest
good of the greatest number. They
realize that no part of the nation
can long thrive at the expense of
another. What Injuries one section
eventually Injuries all; what bene-
fits the whole inures 10 the ulti-
mate benefit ofevery hamlet. With
England, and japan, and future
China bidding for the commerce of
the world, it behooves the United
States to strain every nerve, not
only to hold fast what they have al
ready but to gain every possible
foothold in every possible quarter.
To ignore eight islands halfway
across the Pacific, capable of sup
porting population of one million,
islands that, thanks to our needless
ignorance, are fast becoming Jap
anesed, if 1 may coin word, is
crime for which the next genera
ton of Americans will curse this
century if persisted in much longer.
