The END AND The BEGINNING

Al niue o'clock yesterday morn
iac. the Senate, by formal action
rassed the title TO these Islands
over 70 the United States. Like a
deed Of conveyance, duly signed,
and acknowledged, and irrevoca-
be. It virtually gave the equitable,
and IL measure. the legal title of
dominion and public property here
10 the greater Republic, to become
ins-antaneously effective upon a
similar act 10y the American Sen
ate. Today there Is, in fact, one
nation les. on the face OF the earth.
The causes which force this con-
elu5ion. the reasons which have
stricken out OF existence an indie
pendent nation, a free Republic,
where all lines. all the trackless
paths meet at q single centre in the
great sea, cannot now be stated IN
full, or justly. The historian Of
the present hour in any country
must live In solitude. if he com
meuts On the ignorance, the stupid
nv. or even the unselhshness of
men, because history Is the story
Of the average advance Of man
kind, and the average Is always
low. The threads which make up
the entire wool Of our own little
history. VIII never be honestly
traced out, until the men of these
rimez are under the sod, when the
earth and the worms forbid quar-
neling.

THE BEST EVIDENCE.

Our able and enthusiastic con
sui in Boston wrote, not long ago
that even the intelligent people o
New England were remarkabl,
ignorant about the facts whicl
underlie our social and politica
life. The same comment Is mad,
throughout the States. The sen
sational news sent out by the As
ISOLATED Press, concerning us i:
read, Just as the news from Cuba
Is read, and then is forgotten. The
average man one meets, and even
many of the most intelligent, sum
up our case as one involving the
deposition of a Queen, the pos
session Of a beautiful climate,
the scene of missionary labors, and
4 spot which Great Britain covets.
The most intelligent men ask, ''do
you have newspaper in Honolulu!
have You any school system! An
American Senator asks, ARE the
judges all natives? How are we
educating the seventy millions of
people, or the fourteen millions of
voters, who have, finally, some
thing to say, about our affairs?
The testimony given before the
Senate committee in 1898, of
which Senator Morgan was chair
man, is valuable beyond question,
so far as it goes. But it is regarded
as a partisan document by many.
But we have here the most valu-
able material for the legislator, the
student, and the statesman, in ar
irving at an estimate of our condi-
tons, which is entirely neglected.
1t lies in the biennial government
reports. These reports are not an
nexation documents, but the cold,
detailed accounts, officially made,
of the working of our administra-
tive system. They give the detail
ed history of our current civiliza-
ton. They photograph in fact our
methods which are equal to, and
in some cases, quite superior to the
methods in many of the States.
They give an account, for internal
use only, of bridge building and
road making, of the markets, of
public buildings and their cost and
purpose, of the system of public
works, of the water supply, of dock
building, of wharfs, of agriculture
and forestry, of the methods of
registry and conveyance, of light
houses, and dredging. They pre-
sent in fine detail the cost of our
educational system, which is supe-
rior to that of many States; how
the administration of criminals is
carried on; the nature and number
of our courts; the administration of
the Health department, its modern
methods and successful control of
leprosy; the prevention of conta-
gious disease, and the supplying of
the natives with medical treatment;
the details of the excellent Finan-
cial system, its complete book
keeping, It's thorough analysis of
the government income and outgo;
the detail of the Post Office man
agement; the surprising success
of the Postal Savings Bank, which
is in advance of American practice.
In these reports lie the ''uncooked
testimony" as the lawyers say, OF
what has been done here; that
which would surprise Mr.. Shurz,
if he read them. And it was only
one of these stray reports, received
by an editor of a Philadelphia pa
per, one of the best read men OIL
The Hawaiian gazette., 1897-09-14

lation of the department reports is
not question of the past, but of
the future. At one time a history
would have more than paid for it
self. Perhaps it will now.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1897-09-14

But, we repeat again what we
have many times said before, that
if it is the sentiment of two-thirds
of the American Senate, that these
Islands should now be annexed, for
supreme political reasons which
they understand quite as well as
we do, annexation will take place,
even if these Islands were overrun
with cannibals.. 1t is the uncer-
tainty about this sentiment that
makes thorough preparation of
our case necessary.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1897-09-14

An apparently sincere Japanese
writes to us a letter, which is printed
in another column. What answer
should be made to it? or, should there
be no answer? Does he represent the
sentiments of $4,000 of his country
men? He asks some puzzling ques-
lions.

We are not discussing now the
reasons why the Anglo-Saxon has
erected this marvellous though
small scaffolding of civilization
here, and then inadvertently, OF
negligently allowed it to get into
such imminent peril of being wash
ed away by alien floods, that a
stronger hand is called upon to sus-
tain it.
These reports contain in words
and figures the "best side of our
case" and the most creditable side.
Here is the material, which the
editor, the legislator and the think
er in America needs in reaching a
conclusion as to our social and poll
teal forces.

The Chinese, residing here,
looks upon 1t, as an act which
brings further humiliations, and
restrictions upon him, and stamps
his patience, frugality, and indus
ny, with the scorn of a great nation
which holds him in contempt for
war, but rembles before him in
peace.

The part Hawaiians take a
wider vision. They are the inno-
cent victims Of the contact, almost
criminal, Of the stronger and weak
CT races The pathetic story of Ha-
wall and perhaps Its romance is
with them. For this act of ratif-
cation opens TO them the door,
through which they can hear the
rough voices Of the aggressive race
coming over the sea, the aggressive
race, which gives them some of Its
blood, but cannot give its sturdy
energy, or strike out the softer
fibre Of Polynesian ancestry.

Of these reports, our best evi-

are two hundred copies in the
States, to supply Legislators, or the

any of the thinkers among seven

do not believe that dozen copies,

Mr.. Thurston is preparing valu-

ing very shrewd people and their
statesmen with ignorances of their

can furnish any facts existing here
and not over there, in providing
carefully to prevent misstatements
regarding ourselves, and especially
in presenting our own side Of the
case in the best light with unlm-
peachable evidence, we advance ON
own interests, without suggesting
any incompetence on the parr Of
the Americans, to deal with then

An Appeal for Aid.

The mayor of Chandler, the town
in southern Oklahoma that was de-
vaStated by cyclone a few weeks ago,
has sent to Wellington an appeal for
aid that shOdld be met with prompt
response. The appeal states that
fourteen persons lost their lives and
that nearly every family in Chandler
was left homeless and practically PEN
niless by the terrible tornado.
1t Is the duty Of Wellington in this
sad emergency to respond literally to
the sufferers Of the Oklahoma cyclone,
The mayor ard cOuncilmen donated
their salaries to them last night, but
the sum amounts to only Sill. We
believe that 500 at least should be
raised in Wellington toward relieving
the people Of Chandler. When the
cyclone Of 1872 RACED half the business
portion Of this city and destroyed a
dozen lives, our neighbOring cities
responded literally to the stricken
people. Something like $4,000 was
sent into this city to help cyclone
sufferers. We are in a sense under
obligations 10 assist the people If
Chandler. More lives were lost there
than in this city, and the entire buSi-
ness and residence portion of Chan.
dler was swept from the face of the
earth. The people are 10 sole need
OF provisions, clothing and money.
Wellington can i'll affOrl TO allow
this appeal to pass unnoticed. Some
step should be taken toward soliciting
subscriptions, provisions, etc. The
mayor should appoint Committe Of
responsible persons to look after the
matter and see that something is
done for the people Of Chandler. If a
committee is not appointed each in
dividual CiLizen should consider him.
