THE END IN SIGHT.

Annexation is very much alive
indeed, this mail. 1t came with a
jump at the last. The treaty which
has been in preparation for some
time will have come before the Sen
ate e'er these lines are penned. 1t
was to be laid before the Senate on
the 10th, the day after the steamer
left. That it will pass the Senate,
there seems no doubt, for on a count
of noses there is a good two-t thirds
majority.
1t has long been known that the
Administration was strongly in ia
vor of annexation, but it was
doubted whether action would be
taken much before July or August.
Some cause has hurried the matter
toward. The work upon the treaty
has been done by Assistant Secre-
tary of State Day and Minister
Hatch. 1t follows the line OF the
former treaty in the main, save
that it contains no pension clauses.
Every letter received from the
United States says that annexation
is now forgone conclusion, and
that before long the Stars and
Stripes will float over the executive
building.
The end is certainly in sight,
Those who believe in Annexation,
and the Star does most sincerely,
must feel thoroughly satisfied that
the cause they have struggled for
so long and so arduously, i'll season
and out Of season, is all but Won
All the information that has been
received tends to show that there
will be no strong opposition in the
Senate, and that the treaty will
there be ratified.
Once an integral part of the
great republic, the course of the
Islands will be ever upward and
onward. AS an independent gov
eminent we have been ever at the
mercy of any power that choose to
grab us and 1t has only been the
quasi-protectorate of the United
States that has saved us from for
eign aggression, e'er this. The
country will now have a stability
which it has never before possessed
and an era of unexampled prosper
ity will set in. Those who knew
us well had no fear, but foreign
capital was timid of the Islands.
As part of the United States, for
eign capital will seek investment
here as readily as it does in Amer
lea, and industries will receive a
wonderful impetus.
With annexation the cable line
must come, and that will be the
link that will unite us to the whirl-
ing rush of the great world, and
make us lose what little provincial
ism we still retain.
To be citizens of great State
will be source of pride and salts
faction to all. Interest in the COM
mercial and economic growth of the
country will increase a hundred
fold. We can lay our heads on our
pillows tonight with satitfaction
that good work has been all but
accomplished, and we can celebrate
the sixtieth anniversary of Queen
Victoria's reign with lighter hearts
when we know that our future
prosperity is assured.

They are Delighted with Their Visit
to Honolulu.

For The past three weeks there
have been in Honolulu two of the old
cr children of the late Rev. Luther
Ilalsey Gulick. ID. d., a pioneer mis-
sionarv to Bonabe. from 1852 on, and
subsequently the distinguished agent
of the American Bible Society in Ja-
pan and China. One of these chill
dren is Mrs Harriet Clark. for sever
al years a missionary in Japan. The
other is the talented Rev. Sidney Gu
lick. missionary for seven years in the
same field. They are now on their
way back to their work with their
families. Mrs. Clark and Mr.. Gulicl<
were both born in Bonabe. among the
then untaught savages. Their earliest
recollections. however, are of life in
Honolulu. where their father labored
from 1863 to 1870 as the first secretary
of the Hawaiian Board. and where he
and Mrs. Gulick founded the Girls
Seminary of Kawaiahao.
Sidney Gulick has twice preached at
Central Union church with great &C.
ceptance, once on Mission work in ia
pan. with attractive and condensed
statements. He possesses much of
his eminent fathers remarkable mag
netism in the pulpit, little of his pc
culiar gift of humor, but with high
mental culture an discipline, and also
much of his deep spirituality. He has
made several other addresses during
his stay.-The Friend.

A few weeks ago the editor was ia
ken with a very severe cold that had
caused him to be in most miserable
condition. 1t was undoubtedly bad
case of la grippe and recognizing the
danger he took immediate steps to
bring about speedy cure. From the
advertisement of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and the many good recon-
mendations included therein, we con-
cluded to make first trial of the
medicine. To say that it was salts
factory in its results is putting it very
mildly indeed. 1t acted like magic,
and the result was a speedy and per-
manent cure. We have no hesitancy
in recommending this excellent Cough
Remedy to anyone afflicted with a

THE MISSION PARK.

The debate at the session of the i'm
provement clubs on the proposition to in
dorse the movement of the Mission Park
Association was sufficiently spirited TO
show that the proposal has attracted pub
lie attention, reused popular interest and
that citizens have begun to consider it as
a practical enterprise deserving study
under all its aspects. This in itself is an
encouraging sign. 1t was not be expected
that everybody would agree on every de-
tail OF the proposed improvement, and the
very force OF the opposition to some OF
the plans is an evidence of the keenness
with which the subject is now being
thought over by influential mem bers oil
the community.
1t is worth noting that the opposition
and differences of opinion disclosed dur
ing the debate were not directed TO the
general plan Of providing parks and pleas
ure grounds Tor the southern portion OF
the City. That much was made clear by
she adoption of a motion which, without
indorsing any particular plan or any par
ticular site for a park, advocated the
establishment of parks in the Mission dis
trict. 1t may be assumed therefore that
the policy of providing such a park has
public approval, and there are no differ
ences OF opinion except upon compare
lively minor matters of detail.
Popular sentiment will not arrive at any
conclusion on the subject until some
definite plan has been devised by The pro-
motors of the enterprise and estimates
made of the probable cost. 1t depends
wholly upon the nature of these plans
whether The scheme will have sufficient
support to be carried through at any time
in the near future. The promoters. there
fore. had best direct their attention to a
careful consideration of these features of
their enterprise. They have public favor
with them on the general proposition,
and if they can show how either one large
park or a series of small parks connected
by bouleyards can be arranged without
entailing too great a cost, or involving
any suggestion of a job, they will stand a
fair chance of succeeding in their desires
and winning for themselves The honor
and credit Of being the directors OF great
pu bic improvement and the promoters OF
the general welfare of the City.

AROUND TIRE CORRIDORS.

Hanford, the live county seat of Kings
County, is preparing to celebrate tomorrow
the arrival OF the San Francisco and San
Joaquin Railroad The town has population
of something over 5000 people, and is taking
on the ways OF substantial and enterprising
city. Thomas H. Van Frank, the electrician,
who has been there for several days past in
connection with installing the electric wiring
for the Brooks.Follis Electric Company in the
new Courthouse, has returned to the City. He
says Hanford is quite astir. Farmers through
out that section of the San Joaquin are rails
ing fields of fine grain, and orchards and vine
yards are laden with maturing fruit He said !:
1t is difficult to realize the impetus which
the Valley Road has given to business
throughout San Joaquin Valley until you mi AXE

through as far as Haniord in Kings County, and
in few days the depot at that point will be

The ARBITRATION TREATY.

The defeat OF the arbitration treaty by
the Senate was not unforeseen. The gen.
eral principle of arbitration has long been
supported by the American people, and a
majority of them favor such principle
to this day. 1t has been clear, however,
for some time that they were not in favor
of q treaty which would bind them to arbl-
tration upon all questions which mig hit
arise between them and Great Britain.
The defeat of the bill, therefore, does not
signify opposition to that method of set
thing international disputes, but is only
proof that the people are not willing to
take leap in the dark and agree TO ar BIZ
trate matters which have not yet arisen.
In addition to the general objection to
an agreement to arbltrate issues not yet
clearly defined and which, in fact, cannot
yet be fores en-, there was also specific
objection 10 several features of the treaty
as arranged by Secretary Olney. These
Objectionable features were OF such radi-
cal nature they could not be cured by
amend ment, and although the treaty was
revised and materially altered in many
respects it was nevertheless regarded by
the Senators as dangerous to some of the
most important interests OF the country
and therefore rejected.
Senator Carter very clearly expressed
the prevailing sentiment when he said
there could be no doubt of the partiality
OF the Government and the people of the
United States toward the settlement of
disputes by arbitration, and that for this
reason there never would be any difficulty
in securing an agreement to that end in
case of any specific dispute. Accordingly
it is not necessary for our people to tie
themselves by an agreement OF uncertain
scope and purport, especially with coun-
try which has shown itself TO be col pIetely
out of sympathy with our interests and
opposed to many of our National aspira-
tons.
TIE defeat of the treaty will not be re-
garded as in any respect militia ting against
the settled policy of this country TO arbi-
trate all International disputes, whether
with great power or weak one. We
are not an aggressive people. We are
willing to settle every controversy in &C.
cordance with reason and justice. We
have rejected this treaty solely because
we are aware that any question which
arises can be very readily submitted 10 ar
bitration without such treaty, whereas
if we had adopted it, We might be bound
in cases where it would be opposed to our
prestige and our dignity as a Nation to
leave the adjudication OF the controversy
TO foreign power.
