THE DEATH OF DIR. SMITH.

The brutal murder of DR.. J. *.
Smith at Koloa, Kauai, on Friday
evening last, has shocked and
deeply moved the whole cOmmun-
ity. Without a word of warning
a man, highly esteemed by every
one and beloved by those who
knew him, was called TO the door
of his own home and shot down,
deliberately and for no reason eX-
ceDt that he had done his duty as
a physician. DR.. Smith was
man of rare and beautiful traits
of character. For years he and
his sister have devoted their lives
to educating Hawaiians. For this
cause, they have given both their
service and of their private in
comes, often at a personal sacri-
fee Until Friday it was not
known that he had an enemy in
the world In public he was the
exponent of philanthropy and
morality. In private, he was
faithful to the principles which
he taught OF singular gentlenessI
and sweetness of disposition, he
stood as a type of the Christian
gentleman. His death is sincere
ly mOurned by all.

THE NAVY LINE AND STAFF. >

Prof. Ira NJ. Hollis Of Harvard
University, formerly well known
engineer in the American navy,
is the author of Il valuable paper
in the September Atlantic, on
the subject of the strained rela-
tons between the line, and the
engineer offices of the navy. 1t
is interesting to us, because the
American war ships and officers
are better known by our people,
than by ninety per cent. of the
people.
Prof. Hollis states the remark
able growth of the navy He says
that the battleship Massachusetts
could alone destroy the whole
American navy as it existed
at the close of the civil war.
This growth has developed pain
full, and even extraordinary
relations between the officers
of the line and staff, "the navy
discomfort is only part of a great
national problem, an indication of
the reimbursement of men to
grapple with new forces" Our
war ships, he says, are built large
ly on theory. The navy battle be-
tween the Chinese and Japanese
was a great victory in fleet fight
ing, but it only taught that wood
work, and infiammable material
must not be used in construction.
The development of gunnery, and
the sole use of steam as a motive
power has changed all fighting
The struggle between the line
and the staff has been going on
for thirty years with great bitter
ness, he says, and will seriously
effect the fighting efficiency of the
ships. 1t is a pen-up crater. The
point in issue is the refusal of the
line to permit engineer officers to
have any share in the fighting Of
The ship. or to stand in the same
inc of promotion; "the officers are
al graduates of the same school :;
vet if an accident happens to "a
deck officer, an engineer cannot
take his place, whatever be the
on the other hand if
an engineer is disabled, a deck
officer would be entirely at loss
what to do in his place" Prof.
Hollis believes that all of the
officers should be trained alike, so
that in an emergency, they may
become convertible terms" and
this has been strongly recon-
mended by the Board of Visitors.
We state the controversy, but

finally settle it. The strange
feature of it is, that it should re-

AN AMERICAN COMMENT.

The OregOnian Portland re
views the statement made in the
Gazette, that there are less than
200 registered voters in this Re,
public. 1t makes statement,
however. which without eXplana-
ton, is misleading, when it says
that there are $4,000 males in the
Islands. This is true, but it is an
important fact, from political
standpoint that out of this num-
Der 36,371 are Asiatics, and can
not vote. Deducting these, the
difference between the number OF
registered voters and the number
of those capable of registration is
much less than might be inferred
from the Oregonian's statement.
The Oregonian makes this com
ment on the situation:
AS the Honolulu papers are designed
primarily for the eye of the Hawaiian
residents, who know many things I'M
known in this country, and not desired
on the whole to be known here, the
effort to ascertain the exact situation
from them is not always successful.
The Gazette declines to discuss the
causes that prevent native registration,
but thinks it safe to say the natives
will not register until the question OF
annexation is settled" From which
the natural inference is that the native
Hawaiians still cling to hope of restor-
alton of the native monarchy, and will
not aid the Dole government or its as
pirations by adding to the evidence of
civic activity. AS to the neglect of the
Portuguese. we are also left in the dark
and to similar inference. AS natives of
another nation, they are not doing any
thing to further the acquisition of the
Islands by the United States.
1t is just because the local govern
ment is unable to cope finally with its
problems that our need of stepping in
becomes apparent. We are not going
as on our own, just as we withstood
England in Venezuela in self-defense,
and not from philanthropic motives.
Yet the use of the incident by oppo-
nents of annexation may as we'll be
anticipated. 1t will bristle in this win
ter's congressional debates.
The comments of the OregOnian
do not indicate its opinion on the
subject of annexation, excepting
as it states that "we (the Ameri-
cans are not going after Hawaii
so much on her account, as on
our own"
The Advertiser believes that
the better plan is to state our own
case, in all of its bearings, so sim
ply and clearly that we all be
given credit for honesty, and
also for intelligence. And this is
also absolutely true, that no "par-
tisan" statement, or partisan"
newspaper cOnvinces an oppo-
nent.
We have, officially furnished in
the census report, a part of our
account with civilization We
should furnish the rest and the
best part of the case.
