A Copartnership.

Genial bob" More was married
last evening to Jane Lishman, the
daughter of our esteemed townsman
Robert Lishmsn.
I he wedding ceremony took place
at the Lishman residence on Keau-
moku street, in the presence of the
intimate friends Of the contracting
parties.
Chauncey Wilder supported Robt.
More as best man and Miss Maggie
Lishman was maid OF honor to her
sister, the bride. Rev. Mr.. Palmer
officiated.
At 8 o'clock a reception was held
which was largely attended. The
premises were beautifully decorated
and the display of Japanese lanterns
on the grounds and the floral decor
ations in the house made the place
of the ceremony most romantic
spot.
After the reception a large num-
ber of the guests called at the ad-
joining residence of VIM. Lishman,
the brother of the bride, where re-
freshments were served and dancing
enjoyed.
Mr.. aud Mrs. More left early in
the evening for Alma Cottage at
Waikiki where they will reside until
the 18th of August when they will
leave by the Kinau for Mr.. More's
home at Pepeekeo on Hawaii.

HAwAIIAEs STILL WANT AN
NEXATIoN.
James B. Castle States His Case
Planters Not Against It.

Planters Not Against It.
James B. Castle, Collector General
of Customs of the Republic of Ha-
waii, who is in San Francisco at
present, has as clear ideas on the po-
litical situation as any of the new
republic. AS to annexation and the
feeling in regard to it in the islands
Mr.. Castle said yesterday:
"It is not true that the planters
are united against annexation and in
favor of protectorate. Many plant
ers recognize the fact that protect
crate means uncertainty. Nothing
will give us permanent stability ex-
cept annexation by such power as
the United States.
GAIL the experiences Of the past
twenty-five years in Hawaiian politi-
cal history show that stability is our.
greatest political need. A lack of
stability inheres in our geographical
situation in any attempt to maintain
independent nationality.
'If it were question of annexa-
tion to any other power than the
United States large part of the
support to the present Government
would undoubtedly fall away. The
desire for annexation is what cements
the support of the present Govern
ment. For all practical emergen-
cies, as in the insurrection of Janu-
ary, 1895, those upon whom the
Government must depend for sup
port give that support, in the vast
majority Of cases, purely and simply
as annexationists and for the attain
ment of that result.
"The annexationists are in the
vast majority among those on whom
the Government depends. The feel
ing has increased and strengthened
since 1898. Nothing less than un-
mistakable final rebuff by the United
States could change this feeling. So
far as / am able to judge of the
future, in case the United States
steadily and finally refrained from
considering the subject of annexa-
tion, there would be an inevitable
growth OF foreign influence. In the
necessity for the stability that she
must have there might be return
to a monarchical form of govern
ment, with Kaiulani as queen. This
is theoretical possibility. Its sig
}nifcance would be that British infu-
ence would predominant, and a
British ship OF war in the port oi
Honolulu would easily see its way
to guarantee law and order. l be-
lieve this to be possibility if the
United States finally refuses to an
mex Hawaii. 1t would follow if the
hope OF annexation were destroyed
The door would be opened wide to
any succession that promised stab,
ility.
$50 far as the planters are con
cerned, their position in the matter
is by no means as influential as theil
wealth might seem to indicate. Po-
litical conditions focus in Homo
lulu, and any government lives OIL
dies by the active, ready support
which it enlists or lacks in the capi
tai city. And OF the 1000 or l50(
who there stand ready to give th'
Government instant and forcibl'
support an overwhelming majorit.

The political situation in the
United States is becoming more
and more mixed every day through
a portion of the Populists having
endorsed the Democratic nominee
Bryan Tor President, but shelved
Sewall for Watson of Georgia in the

present outlook is that there will be

Democrats, will land them in the

1t has always been our opinion
that Mr.. Dole and his conspirators

was not desired, he naively replied:

Public feeling is expressed pretty
freely in regard to the refusal to
grant hotel license at Waikiki. We
should think that the steamship
companies and others who have
yearly expended moneys to induce
tourists to come here would bring
all their influence to bear on the
Government in an effort to induce
it to reconsider its decision and SUBJ
NIT to public opinion. A petition
signed by the leading men Of the
town, men who have the best inter
ests of the community at heart
should be circulated and presented
to the Minister of Interior. When
the matter is properly explained to
that gentlemen and his colleagues,
we feel sure that the license asked
for will be granted. The control OF
the welfare of the country should
be based on business principles and
not on sentimental grounds.

the Neimann shooting scrape the
officers Of tue N. q. n. met and dis
cussed the advisability of allowing
the arms OF the Government to re-
main in the hands of the volunteers
outside tho hours OF drill and par
ade. 1t was held by some that be-
cause two volunteers got into row
the whole force should not be judg-
cd by them, and evidently the mat
ter was dropped. We have during
the year noticed two or three sui
cides committed with Government
arms, and three or four shooting af-
fairs where somebody got hurt. We
have heard enough about accident
al' firing of guns and narrow escape
at the butts as we'll as at barracks,
and we think it is about time that
the gun business is checked. A gov
ernmsnt which will place arms and
ammunition in the hands of au ire
sponsible criminal like Fitzgerald is
both irresponsible and criminal. A
high official said this morning: If |
had my way every rifle and cart
ridge belonging to the Government
would find its place in the armory.
OF course Minister who never was
soldier cannot see it.
