THE MEETING.

Senator Morgan's speech to the
natives last evening was a clear
statement of the friendly relations
of the United States to these Isl
ands, during the present century.
He proved beyond doubt that the
States had protected their native
sovereignty against the attacks OF
the British and the French, and
had always aided them in maintain
ing their independence. If now,
the United States proposed to annex
them it was simply to protect them
against the overwhelming numbers
of Asiatics, without it, they would
soon disappear. He made it clear
to them that the United States did
not seek land or wealth aggrand-
izement In these Islands, and were
acting honestly and for the best in
terests of the natives. The Hawai-
ians had before them last evening,
for the first time, one OF the Amer
lean legislators, a member of that
great body which controls the max
ing of treaties. The evidence of
sight was much in the Senators
favor, for the natives, so far as
they expressed any opinions, were
much pleased with his simple man
ner and the kindly interest he took
in their welfare. They appeared tc
be equally pleased with his posi-
tive, unqualified statement that
should the Islands be annexed, the
natives would not be treated as
members of colony, but would be-
come citizens, with the broadest
rights and privileges of the great
American Republic.

THE CHINA DECISION.

Some hot-headed men, includ-
ing good annexationists, aid We'd
nesday, on the street, that the SUI
preme Court could have prevented
the registration of the China, If
it really wanted to do So" So it
could. 1t had the power to do 1T.
1t did not, simply because it Is
governed by principles OF law,
which exist in all English-speaking
communities. These hot-headed
men don't know what principles
of law are, and if they were in a
majority, would make dreadful
mess of any Judiciary system.
The Court, in deciding the China
case, was expressing, not so much
its own opinions, as the opinions OF
learned Judges and lawyers, who
have, for a hundred years, or
more, made the law of the Eng
disappearing communities. Be
fore these street commentators un-
dertake to say what the Judges
should decide, they might as well
study some law. 1t is one OF the
evils of representative government
that fool with vote has the
same power at the polls as the most
enlightened man. The Govern
ment, while opposing the registra
ton, accepts the decision of the
Courts, not only as final, but a;
just.
We believe that lawyers, gen
orally, will be of the opinion tina
the Supreme Court had little hest
tation in coming to conclusion
in this case. 1t is unusually cleal
from doubt, especially on the poinr
of the citizenship of Col. Macfar
lane, reviewed in the light of the
American decision. The United
States made it the national policy
many years ago, to give the RICH
of citizenship to every person born
in the country. It was the policy
adopted by the several States, anc
it became the national policy. j
was adopted in this Republic.

October 1, 1897.
THE GENERAL REPORT of rain
throughout the Islands has relieved
Stockholders of heavy load of care.
Just how long this relief will last is
another matter, and they should be
prepared for recurrence of the recent
dry weather and not follow in the
footsteps of the man who owned a
house with leaky roof and permitted
it to remain so, giving as reason that
in dry weather no repairs were needed
and when wet weather set in he could
not mend it.
The superiority of the AERMOTOR
over all other windmills is now uni
versally admitted. We are not going
to say a word about them, however, be-
cause we believe in the old saying:
'eBy their fruit shall We know Them -
and any one who has seen one of them
at work will appreciate their value.
All we have to say is that we have a
new shipment of them in all sizes, i.e.:
8, 10, II and 16 feet, both geared and
for pumping.
With the geared Aermotor you can
lift water, grind corn, cut cane tops
and run a lathe.
We have also AermotOr Stock Tanks.
These Tanks never leak, and there are
no mud-holes around them. They
ship nested, and are just as sure to
drive the wooden tank out of existence
as the Aermotor was sure to drive the
wooden windmill out at its advent.
There are many reasons why this gal
vanized Tank is superior. 1t is light,
ships nested, is easy to handle, requires
no setting up, never leaks and does
not dry and fall down if all the water
gets out of it; but, of course, where the
Aermotor is used, this need never hap
pen, as it runs with so little wind that
dry tank is hardly known. These
Tanks are feet in length, width 80
inches, and capacity barrels.
We have just sent dozen of them tc
honolulu and Kahuku Ranches.
For pumping we have the Gould &
Krough Triple-Action Pumps in al
sizes, and the Aermotor Siphon, Suct.
ton and Force Pump, exceedingly
strong and heavy, and admitted
throughout the United States to be the
"beau ideal" of a pump.

of things, he says of the great ma
tional movements, I'VE are much
in the dark as to the action of great
bodies of men. Nevertheless,
there is reason to believe that man
kind as mass acts by deterIninate
laws, the courses and directions of
which we are every day more and
more finding out"
This rule, or principle of action,
50 clearly put by Mr.. Reed, is pre-
cisely the one which the Adver-
tiser has attempted, for several
years, to declare and illustrate, as
III operation IN the annexation
movement. That it was not hap
hazard affair. That the sentiment
of the people of the United States,
In its favor, was one Of gradual
growth, and that growth was as
much subject to law, as the growth
of shrub or tree.
For doing 50, this paper has
been soundly abused; what! do
you mean to say that the people
of the United States cannot make
up their minds right off, and an
mex us? Traitor" The idea
seems to be that if public opinion
is not ripe, all you have to do is,
to bury it in the ground several
days just as children bury a green
banana, and then kick off the dirt
and take it out ripe, and ready to
eat.
We do not claim that Mr.. Reeds
opinions have, or could have, any
force in this community, but they
do have very considerable force in
America, because he ranks as a
very acute thinker, and has
the reputation of telling the truth,
even if it is an ugly truth. While
the majority of his Republican
friends say that the prosperity of
the country is due mostly to the
new tariff. Mr.. Reed does not
hesitate to say, that it is due most
ly to the change in business con-
|ditions, and he, in his article, shows
the operation of general laws
through all the commercial panics.
Here, as in America, there are
men who know nothing about, and
do not care about the operation of
laws. They want things Ito be
done right Off" They wish Pro
violence to whisper in their ears,
my dear sir, only tell me what
you want, and you shall have it. .
And, when we tell them of the
working of the laws that Speaker
Reed refers to, they cry out, ooh!
bother laws, we must have instant
action, and the man who whoops
it up for instant action is the man
for u.s."
Speaker Reed does not have
much confidence in the most of his
fellow citizens. He says, ''men
and nations and the whole civilized
part of the race 90 from one ex
treme to the other" It is so, il
all things. He advices bushes:
men, to let the business world set
| tie itself, and to carefully keep
meanwhile, the medicine men o.
finances, with their feathers ant
their rattles out of the way"
Having now the written opinion
of one of the most prominent Re
publicans, in favor of our position
we shall be able to bear with NOR,
fortitude, the adverse criticism O
: those who believe that politica
events are like radishes, all 70,
have to do is to plant them, ane
in few weeks you get off cro]

PIGEONS USED As MESSENGERS.

A message by carrier pigeon was received

graphed to Acting Secretary Roosevelt at
the Navy Department. The message was
as follows: Sept. 3, $50 am. Position, 80
degrees east-northeast Cape Charles light

consisting of the New York. Brooklyn,
Iowa, Massachusetts, Indiana, Texas and
Maine is approaching the southern drill
ground and will probably anchor about s
o'clock. Will dispatch anchorage later.
Puritan is in sight"
This is said at the Navy Department to be
the first instance in our naval history of the
successful use OF carrier pigeons as a means
Oh communication between NAV al vessels
afioat and the shore stations. 1t is the re-
suit OF several months hard work on the
part or the equipment bureau, which has in
the case of the squadron collected aboard
the ships pigeons from various Atlantic
ports. SO that the commanders might be
prepared TO dispatch messages to any de-
sired naval station. The result is highly
gratifying to the department officials indi-
eating, as il does, the possibility of devel-
oping most valuable means OF commune
cation with our off-shore fleets.

of the country by deluded people. who are

was stated that the inpouring of samples
was SO heavy as to indicate that the coun-

SATISFACTION IN NEW ENGLAND.
Feeling Regarding the Improved In
dustriul Conditions.

Col. Brigham assists mt secretary of agri-
culture, has returned from trip to New
England. He reports that the people of
that section generally express themselves
as pleased with the change that has taken
place in Industrial conditions. While the
farmers are especially delighted on account
of the enhanced value of their products,
there is no disposition on the part of
others to grumble because they have to
Fay more to the farmers, as they realize
that their markets will improve as the
condition Of the agricultural interests inn
prove.
Col. Brigham still holds to the opinion
that the aggregate value of the crop
of the entire country will be almost If not
quite half billion of dollars in excess of
that of last year, and says that such tur:,
in the affairs of the farming community
must produce improved conditions through
out the country.
