that paper that an offer Of 100000 had

James Cochran came in Sunday from
his mines near Rockford, bringing with
him the last clean up of his mill, qnite

VINEYARD STREET DANGER.

The destruction of shade trees with
in the city limits is always to be dep
recated. but when it becomes a men,
ace to the travelling public there is no
alternative. The large monkey pod
tree in Vineyard street, between Fort
and Nuuanu is a menace and ought to
be removed. 1t is directly in the mid
die of the street, which has become a
favorite thoroughfare, and is protect
ed neither by railing or light. Last
Saturday evening, while driving home
from the theater "A prominent society
lady was given very bad fright by
her driver almost running directly In
to the tree 1t is stated that prom
inent government official interfered
just as the tree was about to be chop
ped down, asking that it. be spared
because it was planted by one of the
missionaries of early days. Such SEN
timent may cost the government a
heavy bit for damages unless steps
are taken to protect drivers against
the obstacle.

Secretary Bliss, in his report upon
the forests of the United States,
mourns the fact that he has insuffici-
ent means for establishing a forestry
department. At this session of Con-
gress he will ask for a greatly in
creased appropriation in order to have
a properly trained corps to patrol and
look after the government forest res
ervations, but it is probable that the
United States Congress will ask for
more, and that certain portions of the
country which are now denuded will
be reforested. The Legislatures of the
world are aroused on the forestry
question, and ours will have to contri-
butte its little mite to reforestry.

4 FORECAST.

The annexation of the Hawaiian Is
lands by the United States is a far
more important measure to the world
than it is to the United States. 1t is
the announcement of a policy which
will have enduring and lasting marks
upon the next century, and the act,
about which there can now be no
doubt will make a fitting end to the
nineteenth and a beginning to the
twentieth.
The Pacific is undoubtedly the
arena in which the great play of the
next century will come. The ultimate
end of all our mundane systems of
government we do not know; but this
we do know, that the powers of the
world rose on the Asiatic continent,
passed 10 Europe, and are now going
west to that continent undreamed Of
in the days of Egypt, Assyria, Persia,
Greece Rome, and the medieval pow
ers of Europe, a continent regarded
as a mere means of acquiring wealth
by the later times, and which has now
grown to such proportions that de-
spite its newness-which it is the
conservative nature of the bulk of
mankind to hate-has acquired a dom
nance in the world.
With the acquisition of the Hawaii
an Islands will come, as soon as Anne
rican energy can accomplish it,
cable to the central point in the Paci-
tic. Following in a natural course
will be the Nicaragua canal. For a
moment consider what revolution
this will make in the commerce of
this ocean. Lose sight of mere local
questions of anneXing the Islands and
the troubles about a petty throne.
Lose sight of even who possesses the
Islands, and merely look at the mag
nificent results which are bound to
come about for the commercial rela-
tons of the earth.
In this ocean the East and the West
meet The trade or two great streams
of humanity will mingle on its waves,
and it is here that the ultimate end of
many varying civilizations will be
worked out. What that end will be
none of us can know, but we do know
that the end must be for the ultimate
good for races which at present are
extremely antagonistic.
BY the annexation of the Hawaiian
Islands the policy is practically an
nounced that the future of the Paci.
fic is in the hands of a civilization
that has produced the greatest OF
thinkers, the most brilliant of sol
diers and sailors, and the finest com
mercial men of the world.
This is what annexation means
when one regards it from high
standpoint, and it is no wonder that
those who have been pledged to its
advancement have stood firmly to It
through good and evil report.
The trouble with many people is
that their horizon is limited. They
see merely the present and care little
for the future. Those who have help
ed on annexation may have miXeG
motives it is true, but the ultimate re
suit will be greater than they calculat
ed. The mere act of annexation il
nothing, the gain or loss to particular
parties here is nothing. But in the
general advancement of the Western
civilization in the Pacific world, the
annexation of these Islands to the
United States is one of those steps il
advance, which from its far reaching
results will be epoch making. 1t will
mark that the Northern Pacific is
lake over which the Stars and Stripes
will dominate.

THE IRREPRESSIBLE.

julius Palmer, the irrepressible, has
been putting himself forward in de-
bate before the Massachusetts Reform
club. rs a fact It does not matter
much what Mr. Palmer says, but when
he makes the statement that Hawaiian
credit Is worthless at the present time
time, he makes statement which is
absolutely false. The government is
not in straits for money. Recently
when it wanted money for the pur-
poses of public improvement, twice
the required amount was subscribed,
and the government made premium
upon the loan taken up. The fact is
there, the figures have been publish
ed and there is no refuting them.
However it is nothing new to have
Mr.. Palmer making statements Of this
sort. 1t is a cheap advertising dodge
and julius has run it for all it is
worth. Without such golden oppor-
tunity very few people would have
known that Julius ever existed. In
