The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1897-04-29

eight per cent of the carrying trade
is effected by American ships and that
this fleet of vessels gives employment
TO thousands of sailors and laborers
in San Francisco and the Pacific ports.
The insurance companies, the banks,
and mercantile institutions all reap
benefit from the trade. The statement
that the United States has lost large
amounts of money through the Reel
procity Treaty is vigorously attacked
and full figures are shown, which en-
tirely controverts the statement and
which, as the petition says Ego far to
show how important our G e. the
United States) interests are con-
cerned."
The tables show that from the in
ception of the Treaty to the year 1894,
the American gross gains amounted tp
$70,973, 46i-from this sum must be de-
Quoted $42, 6S0,796, American losses
under the Treaty, giving a net Ameri-
can profit of $2s ,292,66s. The estimat-
ed net gain from 1894 to 1896, allow
ing for increased imports of Hawaiian
imports is $6,430,547.
1t is not The Stars purpose to go
into thorough analysis of these fig
ures. They will be found in full else
where in these columns. 1t is salts
factory, at least, that we should know
here that the cause of Reciprocity
is being well put forward and that
there are able men furnished
with able arguments who will fight
our cause. 1t is no use getting bll,e
or frightened at an attack. What we
have to do is to stick bravcly to what
we desire to have, and to work for it
the harder Attacks will come, but
the first shot or two does not mean
that the victory is won. The attack
from Minnesota, which seems to have
startled so many, is not a very strong
one. 1t came in the nature of sur
prise and so seemed more dangerous
than it really is.
One of the idiosyncracies of the is
lands is that of being easily elated and
as easily cast down. Hal we a cable,
news of movements would come reg
ularly, day by day, and we should not
be left to brood for a week or ten days,
wondering what the next mail may
bring forth. On the other hand should
a piece of brilliant intelligence reach
us by next steamer, everyone will be
winging his fight through the empy-
rean of prospective prosperity. There
is no need to fly off the handle. Our
cause is not lost-on the other hand
our cause is not won. Everything in
our power to further our cause we
should do and we should do it up to
the dav of final arbitrament. Dogged
perseverance is what we need. Even
if notice of abrogation of the treaty
were to be given, there would be no
reason to lose heart. \ very large
number of things can occur in year,
and even under such circumstances
the prosperity of the islands would be
threatened, but would be by no means
finally lost. "There's many slip be-
tween the cup and the lip tells for
us as much as against u.s."

Champion Roasters

are a very necessary article
when housewives use gasoline
or Blue Flame OIL Stoves, and
desire to utilize ovens to a
greater capacity than the stove
will allow. These roasters are
made especially to be used
over an open fire for roasting
meats, fowl or fish. BY plac-
ing it over the flame for four
or five minutes, it becomes as
hot as any one desires. Being
constructed p shaped, with
the fiat surface to the fire, a
door at one end sufficiently
large to admit good sized
roasts, housekeepers find it in
dispensible. Price $3.50.

Stroud's elf-Basting Pan

is another very useful contriv-
ance. 1t is constructed of two
pans, one setting inside the
other. The lower pan is filed
with water. In the upper
pan. porcelain lined and nicely
perforated, is placed the roast
or fowl. The steam arising
from the heater does the bast-
ing to perfection. $3.50 buys
this baster.

Telescope Coffee Pot.

This coffee pot has been
minutely described by us be-
fore, but since then it has
been introduced in the Pacific
Club, where formerly the
members were kicking about
the poor quality OF coffee,
they now object to the good
ness of the drink. The temp
tation to indulge in more than
one cup is ever present.

The Chicago Times Herald is ain
dependent newspaper and this praise
Of Speaker Reed is therefore from an
unbiased source: MIR. Reed stands to-
day in the very front rank of Ameri-
can statesmen. craftsmanship no longer
denies him that credit. The title of
car conferred upon him by the oppo-
sition newspapers has come to be a pet
name for a popular hero, and is no
longer applied to him either by friend
or foe, except in admiration for his
plucky persistence in the great fight in
which he won that title. He will be
remembered to latest history as the
man who broke the parliamentary
shackles of the house of representa-
tives and substituted common sense for
circumlocution in legislative proceed
ure. Reeds rules are monument OF
which any man might we'll be proud. .

An echo from the South Oak ota SEN
atorial fight was heard Monday when
Judge Plowman delivered g supple
mentary charge to a grand jury at
Deadwood. The step was caused by
the filing Of several affidavits OF bias
and prejudice in proceedings for a
change Of venue. The affidavits all
came from clients of J.B. Moore, one
OF the judges bitterest opponents in
his fight for Kyle's seat. The judge
limited of perjury and snbornation OF
perjury and directed the grand jury to
investigate the matter diligently.
This appears to be carrying politics
into court with a vengeance.

DELANo Eagle: A man or corpora
ton that will deliberately take the
funds entrusted to their care and sup
posed safety and use them on doubtful
or other private speculations is the
most dangerous enemy that a commun.

scores of homes is wrecked by his
cussedness. Lives are made miserable
and bright futures darkened forever
Such man is worse than a thief ii

ONE of the real causes of the vast
floods which are now inundating por-
tions Of the country is the wholesale
manner in which our forests have been
destroyed. If one doubts the truth of
this let him go to our forests, where he
will find plenty Of snow, while every
where outside of their limits the ground
is nearly bare. Here the deposit is
protected from the direct rays Of the
sun and the snow yields only to the
gradually increasing temperature Of
the atmosphere. The tree-roots AND
underground also absorb moisture
freely. When you r read Of the devas
tation which has come from the spring
floods, do not blame nature for th'
evil which man has brought upon him
self. The raging torrent is itself |
most forcible plea for better forestr..
regulations. Preserve the trees if yo1
wish to preserve climatic conditions.

The opposition to the tariff bill now
being considered by congress is. play
ing a strong suit. First it attempts
delay in order that the country may be
flooded with imported wares, leaving
little market for American goods and
and consequently preventing the man
ufacturers from employing idle labor
as they promised before election
Second by delay it hopes to flood the
country with importations so that fol
the first few months, at least, there
will be little, if any. revenue collected

these fllibusterers to carry their plo

the idea of having Anoka ask for an

mistaken idea of the legislature that

Queen Olga Snubs the Russian Charged
Affairs.
London, March 2O.-It is reported at
Athens, says the Daily Mails correspon-
dent, that there Is secret treaty or re-
cent origin between Russia and Turkey
by which Russia is to get Suda, Alex
andretta and another Mediterranean port
in exchange for the support she under
takes to gives Turkey against Greece.
1t is confidently believed, tslegraphs
Henry Norman, that Russia is urging
Turkey to attack Greece, and Offering
her financial assistance If necessary.
Russia, according to this theory. expects
that the first battle would be disas-
trous defeat for the Creeks enabling
Russia to call Off Turkey and to propose
terms which Greece would be only too
glad to accept.
The Chronicles correspondent asserts
that he has received an important COM
munication fully confirming his original
statement that Russian vindicativeness
is. thrustipg the Sultan toward a 0ecla-
ration of war.
A dispatch to the Times from Canea
says that three Greek steamers have suo-
ceeded in landing cargoes of ammunition
and provisions at Sphakia. Three thou
sand six hundred European troops are
expected next week.
On the invitation of the Admirals four
of the principal insurgent leaders OF
Akrotiri went ON board the Italian flag
ship in Suda Bay yesterday (Briday.
Admiral Canevaro addressed them, ex-
planning the position and urging them
to lay down their arms. The insurgents
refused to accept any solution but the
annexation of Crete to Greece. The AID
mirals asked them to reconsider this de-
cision, and offered them the means OF
comm un icatiDg to and consulting with
the insurgents leaders elsewhere; but
the same reply. it is feared by the Ad.
mirals, Will be made by all.
