ing greater. General business is satis-
factory. Wages are good and never
yet has an honest willing man, with
any capability at all, sought in vain
for employment in the Islands. Brains
are at a premium, as they are the
world over. Strangers coming to these
shores must bring their capital along
if they wish to embark i'm enterprises
requiring considerable funds. Resi-
dents, especially young men of en-
ergy and intelligence, may readily Sc
cure local backing when they wish to
embark i'm business. Besides there are
several companies and individuals
standing ready to assist reputable inn
migrants in any one of the several
agricultural pursuits open. There is
not an idle carpenter. painter, stone or
brick worker i'm Honolulu. However, it
would not take a great many to glut
or longest these callings.
The peace here is profound. Poll
tics are subordinated i'm Hawaii by a
wise constitution which statesmen and
economists pronounce an advanced
basic law. There are the little differ
ences which men of thought and men
of human passions are bound to ere
ate amongst themselves, but there are
none of the bitter struggles or acri-
monious plottings which distinguish
the politics of other countries. That
this may be asserted and maintained
in the face of the fact that the Govern
ment is comparatively new and a
marked change from the old system,
is little less than marvellous. In this
equation there is one thing lacking.
The Government party is practically
without opposition. AS that has been
the situation for more than three
years-nearly four-it may be said to
be a settled condition and is certainly
wonder in administration. 1t is
something entirely new and has had
such continuity that it may safely be
regarded as permanent. There is no
record of any other such success.
Every effort in the direction of the
has been miserably futile. There
seems to have been defied the rule that
a strong Government could only retain
its vigor by having a well defined and
active opposition. The Republic has
none such. 1t is the operation of the
constitution that has reached this adj
mirable and unparalleled result
In every country excepting Hawaii
there are rumblings and eruptions
with the body polite. There are wars
and rumors of wars, revolutions and
uprisings, plottings and assassinations
upheavals and downfalls told to peace
full Hawaii in the advices from all sec
tons of the globe. And Hawaii, wit4
its mixture of nationalities and its in.
nocence of friction of any account
.
cannot dwell together in unity.
Hawaii has a free press, high
standard of morality, everlasting June
for climate and for education a school
system good enough for any country
and undergoing improvement right
along. Hawaii's financial condition is
Al. Her credit is good and the rev.
enues ample. Large sums of money
are being expended by the Government
for public improvements, such as
buildings, roads and bridges and har,
Dor engagements.
Altogether, while Hawaii is still
seeking "clOser political relations with
the United States" and desires a cable
and the Nicaraguan canal, as a country
where every man has an equal chance
at the ballot box and in the business
pursuits, is asks odds of none Other
under the sun.
