R0YALISTIC BABBLE.

One of the latest schemes used
by one of the native papers to pre-
JUDGE the native mind against the
Republic and against annexation
is contained in the statement that
the Reciprocity Treaty will be lost
unless the monarchy is restored.
This is another good example of the
miserable political food with which
some of our native Hawaiian citi-
zens are being fed. The average
citizen very well knows that no
thing could disgrace this country
in the eyes of American citizens
and American statesmen more
than a return o monarchial rule.
And the average citizen also knows
that monarchy in the Hawaiian
Islands is deader than the deadest
Indian whose corpse ever graced
North American plain.
If it were a fact that the form of
government here cut any figure
with the United States in respect
to the Reciprocity Treaty, the de
mand would be, that the treaty
should be co-existent with a repub-
lican form of government. Nine
people out of every ten in the
United States have healthy hat
red for any form of government
that savors Of monarchy; every
sentiment, every tradition of the
nation is against it and so com
pletely has this feeling become in
stilled in the American heart that
we may well say that even conser-
vative citizens of the United States
are strongly preiudiced against any

THE JUBILEE

In selecting the best method of
concentrating Queen Nictoria's
Jubilee, Truth (London) says,
there is much difference of opinion
about it, but that it is quite evi-
dent that each person, in Great
Britain, feels that the best com
memoration would be, to relieve
himself Of all of his personal griey-
ances.
Tolstoi said: The wolf looks
at the world and thinks, what is
all this for but to give me foodF'
The Englishman says, what is the
use of a Jubilee, unless ! am pull
ed out of some roublel If a man
is unhappily married, let the
Queen send him a divorce. If he
has lost money, let the Queen, OF
somebody else fill his pockets. II
he has a personal enemy, let the
Queen Skin" him. In other
words, let the Jubilee become a
personal millennium, in which forty
millions Of people viii, individual
", be relieved of their heavy bur
dens.
No doubt, the gracious Queen
would do it, if she could. But she
too, has her own heavy burdens, Of
suffering, disappointment and be
reavement, which will not vanish
at the touch of the Jubilee wand.
To her the words apply, which the
eloquent Robert Hall used at the
death of the young and exalted
Princes Charlotte, @She too be-
longs to that vast throng, which
moves slowly towards the tomb, in
which all are distinguished from
each other only by their different
degrees of wretchedness.'

The Pelatuma Daily Courier
can see nothing good in the pro-

get rid of our territory, instead of
annexing more" From the gem

derstand that the man who has no

the native Hawaiians would occupy

a public laughing stock-and the
general tendency of sentiment
would be to Withdraw whatever as
sistance has been given us to build
up a progressive and enlightened

to consider the question can see
very clearly that the men who
have many times led them to de-

HAwAII's OPPORTUNITIES.

An American correspondent
writing to this paper, says that
he is a born Yankee. with wife
and small family, snd was in
hopes that he might make his
home in Hilo or on one of the
coffee plantations nearby. After
reading what literature he could
obtain on the condition of affairs
here, he has decided that he can
not "see his way clear" that as
near as he can make out, there
are three classes here: Erich,
professional and a herd of peo-
pie, especially Japs," and If a
good thing appears the rich will
soon have it all in their power"
In qualifying the last statement,
our correspondent remarks that
the same spirit is shown in the
United States. 4
This gentleman is probably
one who has read stories of Ha
wall, to the effect that all a man
has to do to make a living in this
country is to plant banana tree
and exist. After reading up d
little more he has come to the
conclusion that men have to hus
tie for a living in Hawaii some
thing as they do in other POI
tons of the globe. In this he ~
not far from right. There is n
royal road to wealth i'll Hawaii
and any one who anticipate
such a condition had better sta
away. We do take exception
however, to the statement tia
Hawaii's population is made ~
solely of the rich, the profession
al man and "heard of Japs
and that there is mo show" f.
the Yankee.
We are ready to admit that IL
man can. go about any portion #
this place blindfolded and pic;
up dollars in the streets, but W
can also say that no country o.
fers a better opportunity, and fl
al reward, for honest, earnest ami
constant labor. Especially Is
this true in the coffee industr !.
The pretty homes and COTE
areas of Olaa are an evidence f
this. Nor dq@we consider that
man must have the big bank a.
count suggested in the estimae
given in the book recently pD-
lished by the Foreign Office L.
fore he can think of making
home in the coffee districs.
Whether the rich man gets fill
control of the coffee business e.
ponds entirely upon the actiy "
of the, man of moderate meas.
If our Yankee friend will do is
own work and give the sane
close attention TO the develp-
ment of his land that he does in
his native heath he will in he
end be entirely independent ;ad
make more than "a living On
the other hand, if he starts in
with grand flourish, borrCws
money, sits around while Jps
do the work, he will suffer he
usual fate of the man afraid to
work and quick to borrow. Tire
is yet coffee land to spare on
lthese Islands that can be Iur.
