ALWAYS WRONG.

The New York Nation says that
the manifest destiny" of Hawaii
is to become a japanese depen-
dency. The manifest destiny" of
the Nation, so far, has been to 90
wrong ON the Hawaiian case. In
spite of its efforts to put itself at
the head of the troop of elevated"
Journalists, it manages to exhibit
the usual average of human weak
ness. That paper is perfectly well
aware of Its own grossly misleading
statements of fact regarding the re
volu6on here. 1t refuses to modi-
fy them, because, like the average
journalist, it is believed to be sign
of weakness TO admit that there has
been a mistake.
For over four years it has stood,
with a pack of fire crackers in its
hand, to be touched off with I'M
mense satisfaction, the instant the
missionary thieves" We're driven
from power, and the old order re-
stored, In It's emaciated frenzy, it
still is expecting it. While wait
ing for the event, it makes faces
at the "Sons of the American Re
volution," who live here, and have
signalled for help to the other Sons
in America. If the Nation could
only down this CHASTITY Hawaiian
ghost, it would take some rest. As
it is, it is bound to keep up its per-
petual sneak into the affairs of our
little concern, and if it is possible
to find a new way of going wrong,

ARBITRATION.
wears.

The reference of our dispute
with Japan to arbitration, does not
take us out of the woods. Any
lawyer who says ours is a clear
case" belongs to a class of attor-
neys who always believe their own
eases are clear, and are always be-
ing thrown out of Court, because
their cases are not clear. Courts of
Arbitration are, like Courts of Jus
tee, very uncertain bodies. So
England found, when she was CON
demned to pay SIS, 900, 900 in the
Alabama case, when the damage
was about 100000, So the
United States found, when ST.
100000 was awarded against them
in the Halifax fisheries case, while
the real damage was nominal. So,
again, the United States found in
the recent Behring sea affair, when
the Arbitrators knocked them out
of Court. Of course, the Ameri-
can lawyers said, ''its clear case"
England hasn't leg to stand on, .
but the Arbitrator quietly turned
Uncle Sam down, and ordered him
to pay a big bill of costs.
All this does not mean that we
have not got a good case, nor that
we should not arbiuate. We al
ready notice symptoms of an opin-

LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE.

During the next few months, we
shall be busy with working out
frequently, our political latitude
and longitude. As the sailors say,
''take the SUM-" But the sailors
have for guides the stars, the head
lands, and fixed objects. The poll
teal mariners are always sailing
out into new seas, and pretty much
into the dark.
Much of political navigation is
like that of the ancient Chinese
sailors, who put a bug on a wide
board, watch it crawl, and trim
their sails accordingly. We hope
that the political pilots, in the Exc
cutive building, will not collect too
many bugs.
As every man in the community
believes himself to be as good as
any other man, in sizing up politi-
cal methods, we of course have
some very queer reckonings. We

Democratic candidate for Senator
from Rhode Island.

The sudden conversion of Gaze
sar CELSIUS Moreno into an annexa-
ZIONIST makes it awkward for us.
His attendance in Washington as
an adversary did us good, rather
than harm. He cruelty deceived
the ex-Queen and her friends, dur
ing the revolutionary days, by the
meanest of frauds. Among the let
tiers which came to the light dur
ing those days were several from
him, written upon the official pa
per of the Senate and the House.
1t conveyed the impression to his
deluded friends that he was upon
confidential terms with Congress
men and was permitted to use their
private offices. His letters also
claimed close intimacy with the
Cleveland administration.
If all that he wrote to his friends
here was published, it would ac-
count in some measure for the
many positive rumors abroad
amongthenatives, of the resolution
of the administration to restore the
monarchy. He was not a per-
sonal attendant of the ex-Queen
during her late residence in Wash
ington. He and Duke Palmer had
much in common, but could never
fairly divide the honors. The
Duke kept that pigeon to himself,
and Moreno was told to beware of
the dog. Moreno believes that the
seat of Hawaiian politics will soon
be transferred to Washington, and
he will generously assist the Presi-
dent in selecting proper men to
fill the Offices. He counts upon be-
coming one of the leaders of the
native party.

According to the New York pa
pers it is probable that President
Andrews of Brown University will
be forced to resign because of his
Ipro-silver views. 1t is not unusual
for college president to take an
active interest in politics. Presi-
dent Andrews was closely identi-
fed with bimetalGsm even before
he was appointed by President Gle
veland ON the monetary commits
sion in 1898. His views became
well known at that time and were
received with disfavor by the trus-
tees of the University, During the
presidential campaign of 1896,
President Andrews expressed him
self still more forcibly in an open
letter espousing the free-silver
cause. 1t is claimed by the trus-
tees of the University that many
valuable requests which were ex-
pected have been lost, because of
the Presidents views. 1t cannot
be denied that President Andrews
has had a great influence in build
ing up the University. In 1889,
when he was invited to the presi-
dency he found less than three hun
bred names on the list of students,
he found conservative ideas predo-
minating in the management. He
has been instrumental in making
valuable additions to the faculty
and in securing funds for new
buildings. He has seen the num-
Der of students increase until now
there are nearly eight hundred. In
many other ways the University
has prospered, largely through the
personal influence of its president.
Should he resign, President An
drews will be asked to run as the

sorry about it.
Now that it is decided to let q
third party decide the case, there
is nothing to do, but prepare the
case, and make the very best of it;
all prospect of war between Ha-
waii and Japan is over. Our

all the rest, may dismantle their

Since arbitration is consented to,
the first thing to do is to calm
down. Our limoges" must be
inveigled into quiet corners, and
positively told that the fight is off.
The kinetoscope man, who came
from the Coast in order to take"

States, may as well return home.
Conservative lawyers would call

we hope they will be better points
than those made with much force,
and brilliancy by the American

| bred letters on our political and
social condition. The name of the
author is an open secret.
The letters have been, as rule,
admirable, and much superior to
the average letters of newspaper
correspondents. In diction, choice
of words and general literature,
they are most creditable to the au-
thor.
That they have contained err
roneous statements, at times, can
not be denied. The wonder is that
they contain so few. He who
writes ''on the fly" just as he who
shoots on the fly, must make some
misses or misstatements.
These letters have been read by
a class of intelligent people in
Washington City, who are more
or less within the political circles
and have made some impression.
Probably no correspondence from
Hawaii has reached nearer to the
center of political management.
We do not say that these letters
have changed our destiny, or have
caused action in Washington. No
correspondence, except in the event
of a crisis, can move political
thought. We do not say that peo-
pie remember the contents of these

STRIKE OF THE coAL-MISERs

The strike of the bituminou:
coal-miners of Pennsylvania and
the middle West, for a restoration
Of wages. Is another indication OF
the great power which lies in or
gained labor. The spectacle of two
hundred thousand men, solemnly
protesting against a condition which
as individuals, they are powerless to
change, commands the instant at
tention Of social economists. Were
their claims unreasonable, they
would at least be worthy of some
consideration. When, as in the
4 present case, the strikers have APP
parentlv a Just cause for complaint,
4 their protest assumes an added Dig
nifty. For nearly twenty years the
miners in these regions have been
subjected TO a reduction in wages.
In 1880, they were receiving 80
cents a ton for their coal, in 1895,
they were receiving 90 cents.
Since 1895, they have suffered
further reduction of over % per
cent Decline IN prices and a gen
eral business depression have been
the reasons assigned for this sweep
ing reduction.
When capital fails to recognize
the equitable demands of labor, the
inevitable result is a straining of
the relation of the one to the other.
The readjustment is often attended
with violence and suffering.
When the wage-earner fails to re-
oeive enough in return for his labor
to provide food for himself and his
family, when at the end of the year
he finds himself indebted to his
for the clothes which he

sugar diet here has reduced its
stamina somewhat.

As that paper and ourselves are
standing shoulder to shoulder IL
this project of annexation, we re
greet to differ from it, but we dc
so, earnestly and seriously.
If there is really any substantial
evidence of this statement, ii
should be sent at once to Mr.. Thur
ston. 1t would relieve him of a
heavy burden of anxiety, for Meth
er he, nor Mr.. Hatch or Mr.. Kin
ney believe that it is a foregone
conclusion. And we know that
some of the best friends of Ha-
waii in the American Congress do
not believe it, and have declared
that a vast amount of work on be-
half of the cause must be done be-
fore the 1st of next January. Nor
does President Mckinley believe
that it is a foregone conclusion.
He controls, in large measure,
the Republican party in Congress,
but not to the extent that he can
control iton national issues. Hewas

publican Senators to preserve in
the tariff bill, as it came from the

and expected the endorsement of
his political friends. He failed, at
irst, to get it. He cannot now com
nand the sixty votes needed for
he making of the treaty. The Re

lie must rely on the votes of Silver
Republicans, Popuhsts and indie
Dendent Democrats. He has assur-
nee of favorable votes from these
,odies, and nearly enough to Sc

only an assurance. Any one ia

The treaty matter moves slowly |
