Events in their march have
treated Hawaii courteously and
kindly during the year of which
but few hours remain. Fair
prices for her main products have
been realized, producing an in
crease as well as optinuance of
her prosperity. No civil commo.
ton has disturbed the even tenor
of her peoples way. The black
wings of pes,ilence have cast not
the shadow of even a feather upon
any part of the besuteous isles.
Individual and family sorrows
there have been, as must be in
every year, but the general por-
ton of the inhabitants has been
one of joy. Proposed great
changes in the political status of
the Hawaiian Islands are, as the
year 1897 takes its fight into the
eventful past, pending at the
capital of the great and
friendly neighboring nation.
The situation thus exist
ing is regarded with widely diverse
feelings by different sections of
political feeling and judgment.
Yet, on this eve of a new year,
all may conscientiously join in
aspirations to the Supreme Master
of Events that, whatever the issue
OF present controversy, the fu ure
of Hawaii may shine brighter and
brighter in blessings from a smil
ing Providence. Let all the peo.
pie in this festive hour be thankful
for the benefits of the past, joyful
in the immunities and fsvors of
the present and, with a full sense
of the obligations ever upon them
toward society, happy and hopeful
with their eyes toward the veil
about to be raised upon another
year OF the rapidly closing nine
teenth century. Speaking for
itself, the BULLETIN has pleasure
in saying that, through the appre
citation of the community for its
efforts to do good service, it has
had prosperous old year.
Hoping tha, its relations
with the public will be at least
equally satisfactory from hence.

traffic with these Islands. Up e
this time nine tenths or more ol
the business for Hawaii has beer
done through San Fran
cisco, which place is ma
turally desirous of retaining
it's hold upon the Island trade
But San Francisco has awakened
to the fact that IL has a rival fol
first place in the State. Los An
geles, an old town before San
Francisco was christened, has
shaken off it's dream life OF the
old Spanish days Of rodeos, bull
fights and amors, and is bidding
for trade. And as it has p 'culiar
advantages, it is making its pres
ence in the business world felt.
Los Angeles is claiming, and
with some show of authority, that
it can do better for the Hawaiian
Islands, in some particulars, than
San Francisco con. For instance,
a great deal of the hay and grain
brought here is grown in South
ern California. Hay that is
worth % per ton at the Los An
geles or San Diego seaboard, is
worth about twice that sum by the
time the short haul on the railroad
has been charged against it. The
people who buy the hay here pay
for that short haul.
Then it is claimed, and the
claim sounds plausible, that the
south offers a better market for
much of Hswaii's tropical fruits
and other products, than the
north does. Not only could our
fruits find a market in the south
ern counties of California, but
the mining districts of Arizona
and New Mexico, and even of
Colorado, would be willing pur-
chasers. Two or three dozen
cases of pineapples sent to San
Francisco gluts that market.
Two or three hundred cases would
find ready sale in the sun.scoroh

WILL AMERICA GUARANTEE?

The steamship due on Sunday
will probably give us the text OF
Japan's reply to our offer OF arbl-
tration, which may also contain the
proposition that the United States
be made party to it, so far as to
assume the obligations of Hawaii,
should the arbitrator decide that
she is libale.
Japan holds that her claim for
damages is a sort of lien on the
islands, Just as in collision at sea,
a claim for damages against the
vessel in fault, is a lien upon her,
and may be enforced in Admiralty.
Japan suspects that Uncle Sam
NAV suddenly swallow the islands,
lust as forgers when arrested some
times swallow counterfeit bills, and
are forced to take an emetic and
throw them up. Japan naturally
feels that Uncle Sam will close his
mouth, if he swallows the islands,
and refuse any diplomatic emetic,
unless he agrees, in advance, to
take it.
If Japan asks that the United
States endorse Hawaii's note for
any debt, it can only be done,
through a special treaty between
the two countries. To do that.
would cause delay in our own ne-o
tiations. President Mckinley say;
to Japan: EFYou know Uncle Som
and he does about what is right
and you just leave it to him." Jap
an NAV be confding and accept the
offer. We hope this will be made
satisfactory.
Anyone can see that Japan will
hesitate to arbitrate with Hawaii,
unless she knows who will pay the
shot in case damages are awarded
TO her.

THE PRESIDENTS WAR POWER.

There is some confusion of opin-
ion regarding the probable action
of the commander of the American
warships, in the event of an
emergency" here, that is, should
the japanese do something they
ought not to do. The same con-
fusion of ideas prevailed, when
Mr.. Willis demanded the restora-
ton of the monarchy in December,
'93, and it caused great and need
less anxiety and suffering.
The President of the United
States has no war making power,
under the American Constitution.
His duties are clearly defined, and
no power of this kind is given to
him. Congress only has 1t. The
President has no authority to land
any marine force in foreign
State, because that act may be a
war act. The landing of marines
in this town, on several occasions,
has been done, with the consent
of the authorities, or on some evl-
dence of authority. In the event
of a civil war, or riot, a landing
might be justified as a police
measure only, the simple act OF
protecting life and property in i'm
minent danger.
The American commander has
no more authority to land forces
here, which may involve war,
then he has to land troops in
France, In order to protect Amer
leans generally. If he has that
right, then the Chinese have the
right to land marines in San Fran
cisco, in order to protect their peds
pie against hoodlums.
The great Powers take some
chances in landing forces in dis
turbed countries, but it is done only
to protect individuals and property.
Congress alone may authorize
an act, which is in the nature of a
war act. The President might, I'M
der certain circumstances, act ode
cisively," and take the chances of
the ratification by Congress of any
doubtful or illegal proceeding.
But the Presidents of the United
States are not swift to take any
chances of this kind. For this

The trainers of the American
Constitution Intentionally tied up
the hands of the Executive IN war
matters. The people were, and are,
peaceful and dislike fighting and
the disturbance of trade. 1t Is seen
in the Cuban affair. They like TO
abuse the wicked Spaniards and
threaten them with vengeance, but
when it comes to the very serious
matter Of spending several hun
dred millions in war, with the dis
turbances Inc trade which follow,
they cool off very quickly. a year
ago there was an excited demand
for the recognition of belligerent
rights in the Cubans. Today, the
excitement is over, and popular
opinion is that the President will
fix things up in some peaceable
way. and the nation will not tight
the Spanish.
When Minister Stevens estab-
lished a temporary protectorate
here, it was repudiated by the
Government, which had negotiat
ed a treaty of annexation. 1t wa:
beyond the power of the Presi
dent to antagonize it. Presiden
| Cleveland was we'll aware that he
had no authority to restore thu
monarchy. But he felt that
game of bluff would not be uncon
stitutional, and we took him quite
| too seriously.

reason, the American Executive
has been charged, for many years,
with permitting Americans to be
outraged in foreign countries.
The moment the Executive acts
boldly or promptly in correcting
wrong, in a foreign country, he
gets dangerously near the exercise
of the war power. SO the State De
partment usually contents itself
with powerful correspondence.

manner of germs that are bad-microbes,
tubercule insects and miasmatic odors-
have been waited over the marsh by the
breezes from the bay into the windows
and doors of the residents of that part of
town.
But the end is now in sight. At last
the desired end has been gained, and the
Colonel has probably been advised by
telegram in the East by the West Oak
land improvement Club that the marsh
is doomed
Nothing has reioiced the citizens of that
section so much as the knowledge of the
fact that the City Council purchased last
night two blocks of marsh land for the
purpose of a public park. The site of this
park is almost in the middle of the
marsh, and will be at once filled in and
planted with trees and flowers that will
make all manner of pleasant perfume.
For thirty. years millions of people
from, all parts of the country have passed
over the overland road across this marsh
on their way to San Francisco, and the
opinion prevails that the horrible, ILL.,
smelling sight is typical specimen of the
city on this side of the bay. A few
months ago the railroad company, acting
in unison with the West Oakland I'm
provement Club, filled in a small portion
of land near the Sixteenth-street depot,
and this is being planted for a starter.
An ordinance has recently gone into
effect compelling scavengers to cease
dumping on the marsh, and this is an
other step toward purifying West Oak
land. Now that the land is bought, there
is nothing in the way of the immediate
progress of that section.
Surrounding the park site, which con-
sists OF eleven acres, are about fifty-fve
acres more, and it is so arranged that the
whole territory will probably be filled in
at the same time.
The West Oakland improvement Club
will arrange for grand demonstration as
soon as work on the park site commences.

SHOT HOMING PIGEONS.
Wanton Cruelty That May Cripple
Useful Industry.


Useful Industry.
OAKLAND, CAL, Jan. 15.---John Mole
OF the Latham Terrace pigeon loft reports
some wanton cruelty by pothunters which
is likely to compel the abandonment of
the homing races which have been con-
Quoted by the California H ming Club.
Mr.. Mole sent twenty-five birds TO San
Jose last Tuesday to fly to this city pre-
liminary to the Looming race to take place
in connection with the Pacific poultry
show which opens here in few days. or
this mum Der only four got home, the most
of the others being shot down by pot
hunters.
One of the test-known pigeons; known
as Cock E III, flew home and through the
trap into the loft with both legs broken by
shot. The bird was so badly wounded that
it had to be killed The endurance of the
homer pigeon thus mangled shows its
persistencv. This bird was a valuable
thoroughbred Belgian and pigeon fanciers
say it may be necessary to pass bill pro-
viding a penalty for shooting homing
pigeons.
Trustee w D. Leydecker of Alameda, an
enthusiastic fancier, loosed thirty birds
recently which he was training for the
Sacramento race and only one of the
nun Der reached home. In the Saera-
mento race of last Monday out of 300
birds set out only twenty-five came
through alive.
