Vienna, Sept. 21.-It is reported that

q sharp decoration was heard, which
was followed by a thick cloud of dust
and smoke. The crowd took fright,
broke through the military Gordon and
swarmed around the imperial car
riages. Emperor Francis was greatly
agitated and told the police to keep the
people back. Some arrests are re-
ported, but owing to the silence main
tanned by the officials it is difficult to
ascertain the details of the affair. The
Neus Wiener Journal was cOnfiscated
last evening for publishing kilograms
regarding the occurrence.

sired and / now feel that | am in duty

When the last American Presi
dental campaign was fairly opened
numerous papers i'll the United
States congratulated the country
upon the fact that the leading can
didates were men of mquestioned
personal integrity. We do not
know why such a fuss should be
made of this fact. Public men are
expected to be honest and to do
their duty whatever the strength
of the forces arrayed against them.
| The character of the comment
made upon both Mr.. Mckinley
and Mr.. Bryan was such as to re
fleet discredit upon the record OF
men who had fought the Presi-
dental battle in former years. 1t
was an inference not merited.
Many Americans asked whether
the political conditions had reach
ed point where honest, trust
worthy men III politics were the
exception rather than the rule
In this day and generation the PEG
pie expect public men to be
prompted by the highest motives,
Meyer to be swerved from the path
of duty by any influence, however
powerful it may be.

HAWAII J0TTIHGS.

y recent statement of the~Cus
toms statistics of the Hawaiian
Islands shows u much improved
condition of the trade relations of
the little Republic with the Unit
ed States. y few years ago il
was urged. with a great deal of
Justice. that the trade with other
countries than the United States
was unduly large, considering
that we took the bulk of the isl
and products free of duty. This
does not appear TO be the case
now. In 1896 the total imports
into the Islands were valued at
81. 1G4, 561.4O. OF this amount the
United States is credited with
81, 464 Dos or more than I6 per
cent. OF the exports. which were
valued at J,515.230. We took
ST., 400, 09S or 1864 per cent of
the whole. There is another salts
factory phase of the trade worth
noting, namely, that the carrying
trade of the Islands was nearly
all done by American shipping.
1913 per cent. being in United
States bottoms. AS the major
part of this trade is carried on
through the port of San Francis
GO, it is not surprising that the
sentiment of the merchants are
voiced by the Chamber of Com
merce. is decidedly for such pref
erential treatment as is accorded
by the reciprocity treaty.-San

that there Is no necessity OF cross
ing a bridge till they get to it.
They say, everything Is all right
today, why should it not continue
so1'
On the part Of the majority
there has been supreme lack OF
vision as expressed in Mr.. Biz
MES text. When anyone has
sought to open up a view Of the
possibilities of the future he Is i'm
mediately stamped as a Whimsical
theorizer We may qualify this
statement little perhaps. Bright
views are always accepted, but dis
agreeable facts must be dealt with
gingerlv if the popular will is to be
satisfied. 1t may be said that in
this mercantile age Hawaii is no
worse than any other country.
We do not deny this, but II Il not
a valid excuse
Not many years ago there were
those who openly declared that
the tendency of our industrial sys-
tenn was to increase the power of
the Asiatic They were laughed
at. Later, converts were made to
the belief. Today the believers
are numerous, but there are
mighty few who want to put lheir
shoulder to the wheel and inaugur-
ate measures that will change the
course Of affairs. We need today
not alone men of vision but men Of
action, more especially progres-
sive action; men whose vision eX-
tends beyond the pleasant light
shed by the almighty dollar.
