The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1896-01-27

As preface to his Sunday night
lecture on the liquor problem in
Hawaii, Rev. Mr.. Peck made refer
ence to statements made in this
paper concerning the Christian
work that is being quietly carried
on in this city. 1t is at once evil
dent that about the only ground
on which there is a difference is in
the method of procedure. We APP
prove of taking the bull by 1.-THE
horns, but we do not believe that
the greatest good is to be accom-
plished by roaring louder than the
bull. Mr. Peck is not of this opin-
ion. There's the difference. Our
friend does not seem to realize that
he is making statements from the
pulpit, which, if they come from
the mouth Of one of the opposition
would be regarded as indicating
rank disloyalty. No one questions
Mr.. Peck's loyalty, but it is decid-
eddy doubtful if with the existing
conditions such sweeping state
ments will result in the greatest
good to the nation or the various
Christian organizations. We desire
to see the good work go on. We
want to see gambling stopped, the
evils resulting from the liquor ira
fic diminished and the continued
prohibition of the opium traffic,
otit we are also impressed with the
act that this is no time for want
ng. Rome was not built in day.
Let US keep constantly and quietly
begging at the moral structure.
Let our patriotism be tempered
With sobriety.

QUIET, BUT STILL CRITICAL.

While the atmosphere about
Great Britain and Germany is by
no means cleared of the rumors OF
war, the situation, as given by the
latest telegraphic dispatches, in
dicates, at least, a general calming
down of the barking dogs of war.
The British have not fully recover
ed from the feeling that the Euro
pean nations are pitted against
them, waiting only for favorable
opportunity to make determined
move. The situation in Transvaal
seems to have improved very little.
Active hostilities have ceased, but
the populace appears to be in a
state of foment and not at all posi-
tive that the local troubles are at
an end. The legislative body sat
long enough to hear President
Krueger's assertion that he will
maintain the principles of the Boer
republic against all odds and then
adjourned till the general excite
ment has had time to abate. In
other words, President Kruger has
assumed control of the destinies of
his followers and the legislature
will have an opportunity to speak
later.
AS to what is going on in diplo-
matte circles the general public is
very much in the dark. While on
the surface the complications grow
ing out of DR.. Jamieson's raid APP
pear to be nothing more than. a
momentary furry, there is little or
no cessation in Great Britain's
warlike preparations. Whether
this work is being carried on be-
cause of an intended move. to es-
tablish British rule in Transvaal
beyond question or to satisfy the
war spirit that has gained such a
hold on Britons and show the
world what can be done in the way
of rapidly centralizing the army
and navy, it is impossible to pre-
dict at the present stage.
Emperor William is reported as
having taken on more concilia-
tory frame of mind, but he
has made no attempt to
carry this impression to Great
Britain. Germany has quite as
serious an attack of war fever as
Great Britain, the retired Bis
marck joining in the sentiment
that the Emperor should hold to
his position at all costs. Bismarck
knows what war with England
means and his opinion will I'M
doubtedly influence the German
people quite as much if not more
than the Emperor's.
The Transvaal affair is by mo-
means ended. If Great Britain
can gain a stronger hold on that
territory by the exercise of consid-
cradle diplomacy and a show of
force, the diplomacy and show of
, orce will be forthcoming. A false
step at the present time will be

"Cowards die many times before their
death; the valiant never taste death out
once"
There Is such a thing as too much valor
when the foe Is an insidious one. The
bravery that faces death on the battlefield is
praisewortny; that which courts death by
a reckless disregard of the slow but sure
advances of deadly disease is the acme OF
foolishness. Consumption causes one sixth
Of all the deaths in the world. In spite
of this, thousands are to-day dlsregarding
its insidious approach. Any trlhing malady
that results in disorders of the digestive
organs, causing impure blood, emaciation
and lack of vitality, may weaken the respira-
tory organs and make them susceptible to
the assaults of the deadly germs OF consump-
