no particular reason why those
looking to Congress for assistance
should feel that the battle is Won
before it is well under way
When the New York World cor
respondent tells the public that
the Sugar Trust contributed
100000 to the Republican cam
paign fund, it is well to remem-
Der that the Trust does not put
out its funds for nothing. OF late
years the United States Senate
seems to have been the most sat
isfactory ground for the Trust to
work out it's purposes. Just the
extent of the Sugar Trusts grip
on the present Congress is yet an
unknown quantity. NO one man,
nor even a dozen men" can tell
just what influence it will bring
to bear.

HAWAII NEED NOT COMPLAIN.

The political news received by
the Australia is most satisfactory
10 Hawaii. The quiet work Of our
annexation friends in Congress is
beginning to bear fruit. They are
feeling their way carefully and
preparing to push their claims at
the first favorable opportunity.
The people can see now, however,
that these same friends are feel
ing the pressure this paper has
held would be brought TO bear,
and they are not inclined to push
the discussion of the annexation
question before the tariff measure
has completed its course.
The Mckinley managers seem
TO have cleared a smooth course
for the tariff bill through the
House. where the measure will
doubtless be passed practically as
submitted by the Ways and
Means Committee. The fight will
come in the Senate, and it re
mains to be seen how large
force the opposition can muster.
In the Senate will also come the
fight on the sugar item that eff
fects Hawaii. We are pleased to
note that Senators Perkins and
White are figured among the sup
porters of Reciprocity with Ha-
waii. From this the natural con
clusiOn is drawn that the San
Francisco Chamber of Commerce |
has more influence than the beet |
sugar interests at this particular
stage of the game. 1t now APP |
pears that Reciprocity Will have |
the solid support of the Pacific
Coast delegation. The principal
opposition will then come from
the Louisiana delegation and
what supporters they can gather
who will take up any portion Of
the bill in the hope that they may
put the administration in a disa-
greeabIe position. Taken alto
gether, the outlook at present
promises well for Hawaii.

ADMIRAL WALKER.

Several of the American dis
patches tell US that Admiral
Walker is candidate for Minis
ter to this Republic from the
United States. He was placed on
the retired list of the Navy on the
10Th of last month, as he had
reached the age of 81. But he is
a young man yet. He belongs to
a rare class of men, who are, like
many of the eminent Englishmen,
at their best after their Goth year.
The rule that retires men like Ad-
miral Walker is, no doubt, a wise
one, but it depriyes the State OF
valuable services in exceptional
cases.
1t will be a red-letter day for us
if he should receive the appoint
ment of Minister Resident here
We have so many reasons for say
ing so, it is hardly worth while tc
The Hawaiian gazette., 1897-04-02

give any. The Admiral carries a
strong, broad human element into
life. One feels his vitality, the
working of large, strong brain
without any pomposity. AS a
rule, the great sea captains have
been simple and strong men.
Aside from his strong person
atty, the residence here of a
friendly Minister, who has had
large experience in military mat
tiers, is most desirable. Any one
familiar with our actual condi-
ton will see at once how valuable
such a man may be. In the event
of annexation, it will require a
good organizing brain to keep
things in order here, and it will
require the highest order of brain
to maintain the peace here, if
there is no annexation. We need
good advice. From all stand
points, therefore, we should wei
come our steadfast friend, if
President Mckinley will have the
goodness to appoint him Minister
Resident.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1897-04-02

While President Mckinley is
put down as an out-and-Out Pro
testant, his selection of Hon. 10
seph McKenna demonstrates that
he does not allow religious mat
tiers to interfere in politics. Judge
Mex emma is a member of the RO
man Catholic Church and an at
tendant at st. Mary's Cathedral
San Francisco. We can believe
that a strong anti-Catholic influ
ence was brought to bear to pre-
vent Mckenna's appointment, and
undoubtedly the President is be
ing roundly condemned in partic-
ular religious-political organiza-
tons. There is good reason, how
ever, to admire McKinley's indie
pendence in refusing to ostraciZe
a capable fellow-citizen from his
official family, when the principal
opposition raised is due simply to
honest differences in religious be-
liefs. Religious intolerance never
has been and never will be a mark
of true Americanism.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1897-04-02

In all the merited condemna-
ton of new journalism as exem-
plified by the New York Journal,
there is always one discouraging
feature: the law suits brought
against the publishers and the re-
fusal of libraries to keep the pa
per on file serve to give the papers
free advertising and increased
street sales. The condemnation
creates talk and the curious Am
erican people buy the paper to
see what others are talking about.
Hearst for instance has a mint
of money and in the long run
comes out a winner so far as dol
lars and cents are concerned.
He can buy the work of the best
writer's of the country, can send
Richard Harding Davis and
Frederick Remington as repre-
sentatives to Cuba and can also
defy legal opposition through his
ability to buy the best legal talent
in the country to fight his cause.
Truth, the New York weekly, got
its start through the suppress
sion of one of its first issues by
Anthony Comstock. The week
following Truth sold like wild
fire. 1t is proper to state how
ever that Truth after getting its
first send off toned down and is
today one of the best publica
tons of its class. The only effec
tive method of striking at new
journalism is for respectable PEG
pie to boycott its representative
papers keeping them out OF the
home with the same care exer
cised toward the Police Gazette
and kindred publications. When
publishing houses fail to sell their
goods change of tactics is sure
to follow.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1897-04-02
FURTHER CONGRESSIONAL pos
SIBILITIES.

\ cOlorless, impartial state
ment of the situation of the Ha-
waiian matter in Washington is
this: The Republican party, hay
ing asserted the doctrine of tie
control of Hawaii in its platform,
will not put that control in jeo-
pardy, at the present moment by
destroying Hawaii's interest in
the treaty. Therefore the Ways
and Means Committee protect
that interest in the new tariff
bill. To have left this protection
out, would have been to practic-
ally abrogate the treaty and
abandon the policy of control"
IF the House passes the bill as pro
posed, the Senate may take the
same view of the matter. This
would leaye the matter just as il
stands today. 1t would not affect
annexation or prevent the Gov
eminent of the United States
from terminating the treaty by
giving a years notice. 1t will
simply. preserve the present
status, until the time comes for
the development of the policy of
control"
The Senate may not agree with
the House and instead of attack
ing the treaty directly, it may do
so indirectly, by refusing to let
our sugars in under the new bill.
1t viii probably not do so. If it
does. it will show what the nature
of the opposition is to the treaty
and draw the lines sharply be
tween those in favor of and those
against annexation.
AS the President does not refer
to Hawaiian matters in his last
message, it may be presumed
that he will make them the sub
| ject of a special message, or in
tends to postpone them until the
next session. 1t is pretty certain
that he will postpone them. as he
does not consider them very
pressing or important enough TO
keep the Senate in extra session
The present session is an emer-
gency one. Our matters, from the
American standpoint, are not in
any emergency, although they
are. from our standpoint 1t
would not be good policy for us tC
urge our affairs on the Washing
ton people, especially as urging
may annoy them. There are many

sides our own, and it is important

Possibly one reason why poll
ticians are as a rule opposed to
woman's suffrage is because ii
means an increase in the number
of office seekers after the ballots
have been counted. In the last
United States election many
women took a prominent part
and now President Mckinley is
getting the returns in numerous
applicants for Office. An Iowa
woman wants one of the Europe

New Hampshire is candidate
for United States Minister to the
Republic of Colombia, while Mrs.
J. Ellen Foster asks that her hus-
band be made Governor of New

THRIVING MORM0NS.

The Mormons of Utah have
made the largest and most success
full experiments in agricultural in
dustry within the United States.
Brigham Young was one of the
foremost organizers of the world.
He and solomon seem to have es-
tabished the value of full course
Of polygamy in promoting world
ly success. Young, with his shrewd
common sense, saw that which the
defendants of the Puritans did not
see, IN spite of the teachings OF
their schools and colleges. He saw
that land speculation must be pre-
vented, in order TO secure general
prosperity. He prevented it. Be
hind him was the power of the
Church, illimitable searching. He
allowed every man to own as much
land as he could cultivate and no
more. He created diversified in
dustries. He did the thinking for
thousands of industrious but ignor-
ant men. 4 man succeeded only
by honest work. He destroyed the
line between the rich and the poor.
He came nearer, IN the industrial
sense to realizing Bellamy's Look
ing Backward than any man
American born.
We are not considering the
other aspect of the case, his crime
and tyrannical use of Church pow
er. 1t was bad enough We are
considering only the great indus
trial success, and the use of the
Church in making men prosper
