ENGLAND AND EGYPT.
Lord Salisbury seems to be rattle

Lord Salisbury seems to be rather
sly statesman. Recently he
agreed TO release to France all
British rights to, or claims upon
ITunis. The British Press GOT
dreadfuIlv excited about it. Even
the Tory Press talked to him as if
Inc was lost TO all sense of deeency.
and had made the agreement with
France, after he had been to a luau,
and had come home late at night
full of '.hyenistic hilarity." But, it
now appears that IA Salisbury
obtained from Fran or got the
promise, of releasJof any and all
claims by France Upon Egypt, in
exchange for the release of Tmis.
If the statement is true, it means
the safety of the British highway
to India and the permanently wise
government of Egypt.
The marked difference in the ad
ministratiOn of foreign affairs, be
America and Great Britain is,
that the British Cabinet can do
about as it pleases, when
its party is in power. But
the American Cabinet is never
sure of enforcing its policy, because
it Is never sure Of the loyalty of its
own party. President Mckinley Is
never sure that Speaker Reed will
follow instructions, and Senator
Perkins, loyal Republican, kicks
over the traces. The leaders of the
British party in power, as Goodwin
Smith shows, are as a rule, faith !
fully obeved by the rank and file.
If the Cabinet has settled the mo-
mentous Egyptian matter. the party |
behind the Cabinet endorses its ac-
ton, and does not take it under
consideration for months, or lay It |
under the table, as the American
Senate treated President Grants

THE GREAT FLEET.

Possibly at the exhibition of the vast
naval power of Great Britain at Spit
head, during the recent Jubilee in Eng
land, may be the elimination of the
sea power of Great Britain. The spect-
acle of one hundred and sixty-five
ships, extending twenty-five miles, if
in line, presents altogether a fearful ex-
position of the power of destruction.
Lords St Vincent and Nelson, in their
most feYerish dreams of British power
and glory, never fashioned such an ar
ray of fighting strength. For only a
section Of it could have annihilated in
almost a moment, the combined navies
Of the world, during the Napoleonic
times.

these naval preparations, it means that
the more civilization advances, the
stronger and more costly will be the
means with which one civilized nation

grows, the revolver and the knife dis
appear. The same causes will in the

Our evening cotemporary need moi
be disturbed about that frightful anti
annexation" article of ours, which the
Springfield Republican quotes. The
same article was alluded to by the n. Y
Evening Post (and Nation) at the time
it published Mr.. Damon's speech on
the ratification of the treaty by the
Senate; and added that "the other
members of the Cabinet followed in the
same strain" 1t called the attention
of the anneNationists in America TO
these speeches, and shouted: There,
don't you see, they say that Hawaii
cannot stand alone. and if she can't
govern herself how is she fit to become
a part of the United States? Is she fit
for annexation" AS both the Post
and our contemporary choose to inten-
tionally misunderstood the Ministers
and the Advertiser, we can only say of
them as the farmer said of his pig.
whichever way point he always goes
contrary"
Perhaps somebody will buy and take
away that parrot, swinging and
"anti-annexation, anti-an-
nexation," with strong British ac-
cent, in its cage, hanging in Fort street.
If it had the Yankee twang, We would
have recognized a pretty honest sort
of bird.

The canny Scotchmen have been
caught mapping in Glasgow. The iron
masters made combine" when the
city corporation asked for bids for a
very large amount of iron water pipe,
and their bid was stiff one. To their
surprise, on the opening of the bids,
it was found that an American firm
had offered to supply the pipes at SIS
per ton less than any of the bids of
the home producers. A tremendous
row was made about awarding the bid
to foreigners, but the Glasgow cor
poration, not believing in the praeti-
cal politics of paying more to the home
producer for an article than the lowest
price offered, is disposed to accept the
American bid in spite of protests.

Mr.. James T. Stacker Ac.
cepts New Position.
Former Associates or Advertiser
Present Him With an
Umbrella.

Mr.. James T. Stacker. for the past
two years City Editor of the Adver-
tiser, left on the Kinau yesterday for
Hilo, to become the Editor of the Ha-
wall Herald. He will enter upon the
duties of his new position immediatels.
Mr.. Stackers ability as news
gatherer and writer, an all-round
newspaper man, made him a valuable
man for the Advertiser. He had the
faculty of making many friends, whose
esteem he won, and OF gaining the con-
fidence of business men and Govern
ment officials who knew that thew
could discuss their affairs with him
freely, traits absolutely essential to
success as newspaper man.
His ability was recognized in other
parts of the Islands as well as in Homo
lulu, and when. on recent visit IN
Hilo, the owners of the Hawaii Herald
made him better offer to become
that papers editor than the ones pre-
viously made, he accepted, and at once
resigned his position on the Advertiser.
he leaves many friends among the
newspaper fraternity and his associates
and the Honolulu public.
Previous to Mr.. Stacker's departure
for Hilo yesterday morning, the en-
ployes of the Gazette Company pre-
sented him with an umbrella as a re-
membrance of his work with them and
reminder that there is not always
sunshine on the big Island. On the
handle of the umbrella was engraved
the following: Presented to James r
Stacker by the employees of the Hawai-
ian Gazette Company, Ltd, November
2, 1897
Mr. c. G. Ballentyne, Manager of the
Gazette Company made an appropriate
speech and also presented Mr.. Stacker
with the following letter, printed on
satin:
Honolulu, H. l., Nov. 2, 1897.
Mr.. j. T. Stacker,
Dear Sir and Friend: Your asso-
ciates in the service of the Hawaiian
Gazette Company regret very much

relations. We wish to congratulate
you upon your election to a higher DO
'ition and upon the prospects which
We are confident your ability will turn

hold you, We ask you to accept the
oxen here presented. With it goes
our heartiest Aloha for the welfare
If yourself and family.

SENATOR MORGAN'S VIEW.

Senator Morgan does not put the
highest estimate upon the mora
worth Of his colleagues and fellow
politicians in the United States.
In the States Duty" for Octo-
Der, he SAYS in an article on Ha-
wan, If either Of our political par
ties knew 10 q certainty that the an
nexation Of Hawaii as State would
add TO its strength in the Houses
of Congress, all racial objections,
and all objections based on the
solidarity nation and as to the ex-
pansion Of our borders, would dis
appear, 50 FAR as that party would
be concerned
The Senator saws. in other words,
that if either Of the dominant
parties could be sure of securing
two Senators, Of Its own political
faith, from Hawaii. in the event of
annexation, 1t would certainly work
hard to bring about that event.
This Is what the moralists call
taking a low view" Of the charac-
Ter and purposes Of American
statesmen. But It Is undoubtedly
a correct view and the Senator has
the courage Of his convictions in
saying 20. His colleagues of both
parties, if they could have reached
him before he wrote those lines.
would have sorrowfully whispered
into his ear, don't you know bet
ter than to tell the world just how
we work the 'machinesF"
james Russell Lowell. staunch
Republican, one Of the ripest schol-
. are IN America, and statesmen too,
said Of both parties in 1888: They
have been equally guilty, both have
evaded, as successfully as they
could, the living questions of the
day."
These eminent Americans take
rather gloomy, but just views of
the character Of their counrymen.
But the working politicians smile
at their wisdom, and wink the
weather eve, and confdentially
whisper 10 each other, bother these
fellows; they don't know the ne
cessity Of the machine" And they
too are right in their views.
That Senator Morgan should
take this view Is owing to the fact
that he Is remarkably free from
party influence. OF all the South
ern Statesmen, he is the one who
takes the widest view of the rela-
ton Of the United States to the
Orient. The fussy tom-tits of his
own section do not agree with him,
when he SAYS annexation Is iv-
ing question.
The statements Of the Senator
contain in q nut shell, the reason
lof the opposition Of so many edu-
Gated and thoughtful Republican:
in the Eeastern States to the annex
alton Of Hawaii. Their party lead
ers, for the purpose Of increasing

There is again an upward furry in
the kerosene market. The price last
evening was $3.50 per case. A very
heavy dealer on Fort street said there
would doubtless be further advance.
1t is only a few days ago that the
figure was S225. The next heavy ship
ment is expected by the Iolani, which
may not be long for a month. Mean
time the price will depend on the spec
ulators and the consignments from

Sales

show that this medi- u 49, ~

cine has enjoyed public confidence and
patronage to greater extent than any
other proprietary medicine. This is be-
cause it possesses greater medicinal merit
and produces greater cures than any other.
1t is not what we say, but what Hoods
Sarsaparilla does, that
Tells the Story.
All advertisements of Hoods Sarsaparilla,
like Hoods SarssparilIs itself, are honest.
We have never deceived the public, and
this with its superlative medicinal merit,
is why the people have abiding confidence
in it, and buy Hoods Sarsaparills almost
to the exclusion of all others.
Customers Want Hoods.
"We order Hoods Sarsaparilla in large
quantities and it is the only blood purifier
which druggist can buy in large quanti-
ties without risk. 1t is selling very rapidly
and customers who buy it once are sure
to call for Hoods the next time. We be-
lieve Hoods sarsaparilla must possess
true merit in order to retain its popular
