ITO err is human: to forgive di-
vine" was illustrated in it's clearest
sense at San Pedro park yesterday af-
ternoon. There were errors which no
human mind could conceive, but they
were there in all their simplicity. The
Bronchos made them; The Tigers made
them. 1t was a comedy of errors.
Big errors, little errors; errors to drive
a man to the mad house.
But we won!
Who cares for errors, as long as the
home team wins?
And the way those boys did hit!Just
think of it; twenty-nine pasehits and
only thirteen runs, and of these only
one was earned. and the Tigers got
that. Such a waste of hits was like
paying a quarter for a cigar at a
church fair when you can get the same
article at the bar for a nickle.
1t was wonderful game, and we won
at a close margin-but it is all the
same in the percentage table.
1t wasn't Red Herbert's superior
pitching that won the game, nor was it
O'Connor's muff in the sixth inning
that did it.
Little Matt Stanley was the boy that
saved the BrOnchos. In the ninth in
mig, with two men on bases two out,
and the score 5 to 4 for the Tigers,
Matt got one where he wanted it and
drove it down the third base line, scor-
ing Clark and Bailey. Red Herbert
followed with a drive to right and
Stanley came in, putting the register
at rs for San Antonio. KOhnle then
hit for two bases, while Weber went
out to first, retiring the side.
In the visitors ninth the six hundred
who occupied seats during the after
moons conflict, We're almost frightened
into another nightmare. With two
out, and a runner on the bases, George
Keefe who never muffs a ball, let one
drop after he had it and the score went
up to 10. Then Herbert got ratified
and couldn't put the ball over the plate.
Burris batted for McGinnis and got a
hit. The bases were full, and all
good hitters were up. Bammert then
drove one to Weber. which Charley
picked up. He handed it over to Mike
and a mighty shout went up.

LOCAL SELF-GOyER MINT.

The statement made by our
evening contemporary, that Gin
wardly we can manage our home
affairs with perfect ease," is simply
a two-edged sword in the annexa-
ton business.
Probably the majority of the
people of the United States, sym
pathised with us, after the revolu-
ton of '93, solely on the ground,
that they believed that small,
conscientious band of men, were
struggling, against great odds, 10

This belief created a wave of sym
pathy which rose, and rushed
through the corridors of the Capt.

1898, and nearly carried annexa-
ton to the Union, on its crest.
But this wave has receded some
what. Any observer, at the Am
erican political centres knows it.
For the last two years, too
many of these warm friends
have been saying ( You do

which Mr.. Thurston and his

JAPANESE IMMIGRATION.

In the discussion of the immi-
grafton question now before the
courts, the japanese will do well
not to be too rapid in their inter
probation of the action of this Gov
eminent. The assertion that the
Government action has It's founda-
ton IN prejudice and a desire TO
shut out japanese is absolute bosh.
To put the situation briefly the
question to be decided is whether
the laws of this country are to be
respected or ridden over rough
shod. The only reason why the
japanese feel the restraining hand
of the Government oftener than
other classes is simply due to the
fact that either through ignorance
or malice of forethought- trust
the former-the japanese have
failed to appreciate the fact that

The short-sightedness of some
of our citizens in dealing with the
newspaper men of this city is
something remarkable. Were
there less of the missionary"
spirit among the newspapers and
more of the American force
which demands that the public,
through the press, shall be repre-
sented in matters of public impor-
lance, many of our citizens placed
in authority would be handled
without gloves. In the official in

allowed to be present but were
promised that they would be in
formed as to the result OF the
evenings business. Ii the men
connected with the representative
papers of this city were beach
combers and barroom loafers we
would not be surprised at this ac-
ton; if the Japanese question were
not one in which the people are
interested in every minute detail
we would not resent the thrust to
one side. Under thetircumstances,
however, we feel that the press
have ample reason to raise their
voice in strong protest.

AMERICAN IMMIGRATION LAW.

The immigration bill passed by
the American Congress, vetoed by
President Cleveland, and now
passed over his veto by the House,
and not vet, by the Senate, is, in
a general way, opposed to our plan
of annexation.
The intention of the bill is to
exclude from the United States,
Ignorant and undesirable" people.
1t is perfectly well understood that
undesirable" people include all
those who will work at cheaper
wages than the American work
men, and those who will compete
with American laborers. The
Asiatics are distinctly within the
prescribed class.
To exclude all these undesirable
people from the United States, and
at the same time, annex our isl
ands in which they largely out
number the whites, would be rather
IAN inconsistent act. We are put
ting the case in bold relief. 1t is
the way our enemies are putting it.
1t does not follow that Congress
will consent to take this view of
it. Congress does queer things.
All depends upon the power of the
far seeing statesmen of America,
to control the immediate action of
Congress. These men see that
forces are steadily working which
may prevent the Americans from
obtaining peaceable control of the
islands. We mean the power of
colonization, working silently and
slowly towards. the local domino
ton of some race here, which will
refuse to be controlled by the
Americans; a force against which
the local self-government power of
the Anglo-Saxon race, will be as
a feather against a wind storm.
If these statesmen prevail, as we
hope they will, the inconsistency
of excluding class, by prohibitorv
immigration laws, and at the anne
time, taking in the same class by
treaty will be designat-
ed as emergency legislation. It Is
not uncommon. Legislators do not
hesitate to say, when charged with
inconsistency, ''what are you going
to do about it?"

Notwithstanding the contract

sooner or later be wiped off our

that it is there, that the Govern
ment must be recognized in labor
importations, and whatever class,

law to suit their own purposes. must
abide by the results. Up to the
present time the course of the
Government has been simply to get
the matter in such shape as to bring
it before the legal authority of the
land the Supreme Court. The
Government will abide by the de-
cision of the Court and the Japa-
nese must do the same if they ex-
Fpect to continue to be classed as
law abiding citizens. The action

The Kona Echo, the most recent
addition to the newspapers of Ha-
waii is a good demonstration of
the ability and determination of
young Japan to dip into all
lines of business. So far the
Echo is a curiosity. Its compo-
sition and press work are done en-
tirely by hand and the reader has
an opportunity to study the char
acter of the editors penmanship as
well as his ideas. In fact it brings
back the days when Honolulu's
only newspaper was a bulletin
posted up in prominent places
about town. One portion of the
paper is devoted to readers of Eng
fish and the latter part to tie Jap
anese. Should the subjects OF ia
pan residing here increase in num-
bers at the present rate there isno
telling when English newspapers
will follow the example of the
Kona Echo editors and publish
japanese edition.

BRITISH EXPANSION.

The extracts which we reprint
from Mr.. Chamberlain's speech in
Birmingham, are worth reading.
1t is forcible argument in favor
of the British policy of annexation.
Mr.. Chamberlain claims that which
cannot be disputed, that, as a rule,
British dominance is wise and Just,
and that it stands as the trustee
for civilization"
There is however a moral side
to the question which is trouble
some. What fright" have the
British to do these things? The
Americans did the same thing with
the Mexicans and Indians. Henry
Ward Beecher said their conduct
''called for the vengeance of-God."
So, neither nation can take high
ground about it. In these matter,
the most civilized nations act like
pirates and no questions are asked.
Here is the trouble of applying
moral principles in the conduct of
human affairs It is the same
vexed question which perplexed

chickens; ''dar' am occasions,

MANUFACTURING INTERESTS.

Ask the average citizen Of this
country whether Honolulu has
any manufacturing industries, and
in nine cases out of ten he will say
that we have a few, but not
enough to amount to anything.
Ask the average citizen outside the
country what Honolulu people do
and he viii say that they raise
sugar. In this issue Of the
Gazette is contained general de-
scription of the manufacturing IN
dustries of this city-a demonstra-
non that we have in our midst
progressive, and, for the most part,
prosperous individuals and corpor-
ations engaged in supplying to
some extent the demand for man
ufactured products. In a country
where sugar is king, coffee a
healthy and growing prince and
agricultural products in the ascen-
dency generally, it cannot be said
that our manufactures cut much
figure in a comparative statement
of our national industrial affairs.
We have no forests and no mines,
consequently the general DISPOSE
ton in years past has been to buy
the manufactured products IN the
markets of the United States.
This is the general custom at the
present time; nevertheless, as our
population and national wealth
has increased we find the active
Anglo-Saxon gradually feeling his
way along the pathway of home
production. In every department
of this particular line of business
the beginning has been made in
a small way, and the measure of
success rewarding the various ven
lures has been satisfactory.
One of the best features con-
nected with the manufacturing
new carried on here is that it
calls for skilled workmen, and
when men are brought to the com-
try to fill positions with the va
rious corporations, they come from
the middle classes, and there is no
question as to their influence and
value as members of the body po-
lite. That manufacturing, other
than the preparation of our natural
products for market, has an UNI
precedented future or that it offers
unusual opportunities for invest
ment we are not prepared to as
sert. Hawaii must always look to
other countries for raw material,
and the increase or decrease of
manufacturing establishments will
depend upon the character and
size of our population. The devel-
opment thus far has however kept
pace with the steady growth of the
country, the increase of population
and larger production of its agri-
cultural specialties.

NKINLEY INAUGURAL.

- 'hA-'A>A1A 1-'-l W o4laA.
President McKinley's inaugu-
raj address, which is given in full
in another column, is the sound.
patriotic and conservative docu-
ment which the people of the
United States had reason to ex-
pect. One of the most noticeable
features is the care with which
he has avoided any reference to
the mistakes of the past as the
result of the shortcomings of any
particular political party. He
upbraids no one. but recognizes
the failures of the previous ad-
mlnlstratiOn as existing. and calls
upon the citizens of the United
States, irrespective of party lines
and party prejudiees, TO set to
work to better the present condi-
ton. In this particular feature he
has put to shame some of his
predecessors and set a good ex
ample for those who will come
after him.
President Mckinley touches
lightly upon the monetary ques
ton, endorses international BIZ
metallism, suggests changes re-
gardlng paper currency and pro
poses non partisan investigation
of the monetary system of the
country, in order to take the
question out of politics. The ref
erence to the depression in bust
ness and the depleted treasury
shows beyond question that
President Mckinley holds to his
old principle that the taxation of
foreign imports is the balm for all
woes in national finance. as we'll
as the financial condition of the
individual citizen. He believes
the farmer should have better re-
turns for his labor, and argues
that assistance given the manu-
facturer is direct assistance to the
farmer. The lesson drawn from
the election is that the farmer
and manufacturer desire the Gre
alton of markets for their prod
ucts, rather than legislation that
deals directly with the size of the
dollar they receive. In carving
out this principle the President
advocates a return to the reel
procity policy of 1890, which will
gain for the American producer
special favOrs in foreign lands.
This, from the American stand |
point, is sound doctrine.
The question of foreign rela-
tons is handled very gingerly, |
and the general tenor of the re-
marks on this topic is one of |
peace on earth, good will toward |
men," The arbitration treaty is
in the strongest Ian
guage, and the people of the Unit |
ed States are particularly urged |
to heed the counsels of the first
President of the United States. |
The expression: I'VE want no
wars of conquest; we must avoid
the temptations of territorial az
is undoubtedly offered
to allay the popular desire for a
sympathetic war to free Cuba.
The foes of Hawaiian annexation
will probably seek to interpret
this sentence as a blow to this
country, but as the acquisition of
Hawaiian territory calls for no
war of conquest" there is moth
ing TO suggest that President Nc
will seek to make light of
the declarations of his party.
