A TOURIST who recently arrived
in this country from Boston failed
to find anything in this burg that
"quite came up to the Hub" until
he visited the Office of the Hawai-
ian Gazette Company. After going
through the various departments
he quietly whispered to friend,
"Well l must admit that this Office
comes up to anything we have in
Boston" We appreciate the strug-
gle it must have cost to make the
admission that anything in Ha-
wall equals Boston, but we also
realize that Bostonians recognize
true worth and accordingly express
our gratitude for the compliment.

CHINESE AS AMERICANS.

The people of the Western States,
and California in particular, have
been deeply interested of late in a
test case brought before Judge
Morrow of the United States Dis
trict Court to determine the citizen
ship of one Wong Kim Ark, born
in the United States of Chinese
parents who were admitted to the
country under the Burlingame
treaty, but had never become ma
turalized. The contention of Wong's
counsel was that he was entitled to
citizenship under the Constitution
of the the United States. The
Government took the ground that
the word jurisdiction in the
sentence, "all persons born or ma
turalized in the United States. and
subject to the Jurisdiction thereof,
are citizens of the United States, +"
are meant political, not legal
jurisdiction that the child,
as a matter of course, is sub
ject to the same political juris-
diction as his unnaturalized
parents that as Judge Storey had
rendered the decision that citizen
ship is governed by international
law and not the common law OF
any one country, and as Congress
had specially legislated against the
admission of Chinese to citizenship
by naturalization, the native-born
Chinese should come under the
same exclusion act.
As against the decisions rendered
by Justice Field and Judge Stor-
rey, Judge Morrow makes the point
that they have dealt with citizen
ship IN State, and not the United
States. A man must reside in a
State to become citizen of it, but
it is only necessary that he should
be born or naturalized in the
United States in order that he NAV
be a citizen of the Union. The
conclusion drawn by Judge Nor
row is that Wong Kim Ark
is citizen of the United
States within the meaning of
the citizenship clause of the United
States Constitution.
AS might be expected the case
has been appealed to the Supreme
Court. The decision is an import
ant one and not only the citi-
zenship of Mongolians but eau

casians as well is entailed.
Should the decision be sus-
tanned it will practically nullify
the Chinese exclusion Act which
declares the Chinese unfit for
American citizenship under any
circumstance. 1t is a noticeable
fact that the Chinese in the United
States do not assimilate with the
whites as is the case in this coun-
try. With the feeling as strong as
at present it is highly probable the
native born Chinese will finally be
barred out as effectually as those
who are now refused entrance to
the country.

credits President Cleveland's
change of heart on the Venezuelan
question to the influence of Secre-
tary Olney, who is staunch DEM

such an influence in revamping the
foreign policy of the Administra-
ton it is thrice gratifying to know
that Mr.. Olney may be classed as a
friend of Hawaii.

THE effort of the Library As

THE effort of the Library Associ-
alton to decrease the membership
fee is to be commended as a step
toward placing the books Of the
library at the disposal of larger
number. 1t is to be hoped that the
finances of the association will in
the near future reach such a
healthy condition that Honolulu
will have a free library. The at
tempt to obtain an increased mem
bership under the new ruling ought
to meet with success.

One of the first English papers
to give evidence of a realization
that the United States is in earnest
concerning the Venezuelan affair is
the London Chronicle. That paper
now deprecates the position taken
by Lord Salisbury, and has been
followed by others as the true situa-
ton has dawned upon them. The
Chronicle now says it will be a
grave error to suppose that the
question should never be submitted
to arbitration. The Presidents
message is no longer regarded as an
electioneering dodge. He not only
has the support of Congress, but of
the whole American people. There
will be no war, and ought not to
be baek-down on the part of the
United States. The request to de-
eide the problem by arbitration
will not be put aside when the first
smoke of buster clears away and
the British Government sees the
true situation.
