our Minister Stevens aud our man
of-war and our guns that overthrow
the Queen and put the present gov
eminent in power The Queen has
figured largely in our discussions OF
the question, aud many well mean
ing people have been deceived with
the idea that we are delivering a
people from monsrchical tyranny
and substituting republican govern
ment instead thereof, whereas we
are doing the very opposite thing, if
the first words of our Declaration
of Independence are true defini-
tion of republican institutions. But
at the present time there is no ques-
ton OF restoring the Queen, If we
were disposed to do equal and exact
Justice, we would allow the Hawai-
ians to vote on the question OF having
Queen, if they want one, hut that,
we acknowledge, is now impractical
BILE. 1t is not impr acticable to allow
them to vote on the question of an-
nexation.
That Senator Morgan OF Alabama
should argue this question as though
the people OF Hawaii have no rights
which white men are bound to re-
spect is not to be wondered at. He
is an ex-slaveholder. He belongs to
a class who are in Office by virtue OF
suppressing the votes of black men
and also Of such whites as do not
vote their ticket. Free suffrage has
been abolished in Alabama and in
several other Southern states, and
one OF the most solemn questions
that confront the American republic
to-day is how to purify the ballot
and secure a fair count in those
states. They began with cheating
the negro. They have ended by
cheating each other. 1t is easy, we
say, to understand how men who be-
lieve in this system should ride
rough.shod over the rights Of the
Hawaiians, how they should treat
the question OF annexation as though
those rights were non. existent, and
talk about England and Japan, and
naval power in the Pacific, and every
other conceivable thing except the
foundation principle of free govern
ment Being accust omed to trample
upon it at home, they cannot be ex-
pected to see its virtues in the dis
taut Pacific. But that the liberty
loving North, and especially the
the Republican party, which fought
a four years war to establish this
principle, and commended for thirty
years after the war to maintain it,
should now join in trampling upon
it, it something that would not have
been believed by any former genera
ton of Americans.-Eueninq Post.

in the same year. yet it furnished ear
goes for only lis American vessels.
Hawaii is the banner country for
promoting American shipping and for
spreading the American flag TO the
breeze, and should be allowed TO car
ny on and extend the good work. Of
her total foreign commerce in 1896.
no less than 92A per cent of II was
transacted with the United States,
and S2E per cent was carried in Anne
rican vessels. After annexation, all
exports and imports to and from the
United States will have to be carried
in American vessels; for being Ameri-
can territory, the coasting trade laws
will apply, and freight and passengers
can be carried between Hawaii and
other parts of the United States in
American vessels only. AS the Anne
rican tariff will bar out almost all
imports from foreign countries, prac-
tically the whole freighting business
of Hawaii will he with the United
States and will be transacted by Anne
rican vessels. With the unquestiou-
ably rapid and large increase of Ha-
waiian population and commerce un-
der annexation it is entirely within
bounds to say that within ten years
after annexation is completed, the
number of American vessels required
to carry freight to and from Hawaii
to the United States will be double
that now engaged therein. That is to
say, 247 American ships being requir-
ed to carry Hawaiian freight, in 1896,
approximately 500 will be required
in 1906, if annexation is consummat-
ed: or more than all the deep sea
American ships which entered Ameri-
can ports during 1896, from all the
world outside of the American CONT
nent. This may grow from what is
now left of our trans-oceanic trans
portation-of the fag end of Ameri-
can commerce. 1t exists almost en-
tirely upon the Pacific Coast, thanks
to Hawaii for her loyalty to the Unit
ed States.

SAM PARKER IN EARNEST,
Prepared His Own Interview in Favor
of Annexation.

A Royalist journal at Honolulu af-
fects to doubt that the Chronicle in
terview with Samuel Parker in which
the latter came out for annexation, is
genuine, says the San Francisco
Chronicle. Mr.. Parker will no doubt
dispose of this question for himself
on his return home. In the meantime
it may be well enough to say that Mr..
Parker prepared his own interview,
and brought it to this Office. He was
accompanied at the time by the Homo
lulu manager of Bruce, Waring & Co.,
Charles S. Desky. Hence there is no
refuge in the cry of fake" for the
distressed politicians who had count
ed on Mr.. Parker as the advocate of
lost cause.

The days are dark and
dreary; the nights are dark
also. Darkness comes early,
too. The moon is a bit I'M
reliable-but our lamps-nev-
er. The subject of lamps is a
good one at the present time.
We can talk about lamps be-
cause we carry a stock that
cannot be excelled in Homo
lulu. They come in all sizes,
styles, and prices. We have
hanging lamps, from moderate
cost to elaborate designs; hall
lamps; piano lamps; banquet
lamps; lamps for the boudoir;
nickel.plated lamps for stud
ents; bracket lamps; two,
three and fortnight chande-
liers. We have mammoth
Rochester lamps which can
give electric arc lights cards
and spades for brilliancy. Some
people go through the house
in the middle of the night
playing blind mans buff over
tables, chairs and other old
things, in vain attempts to
locate particular object, when
if they had a small night lamp,
such as we sell, they might
have avoided personal injury
and the breaking of a com
mandment. A, piano lamp
would add wonderfully to the
appearance of your parlcr-
why not get one now? 1t will
make your home comfortable
and comfort and happiness

you can get one without
spending the last dollar you've
got.

There are few ocean steamers that
sail to and from the port of New
York flying the flag of the United
States. These steamers carry some of
our commerce with the West Indies
and with South America. and a little
of our commerce with England. And
where else can we look for glimpse
of the Stars and Stripes flying over
the ocean engaged in the transporta-
ton of goods to and from the Unit
ed States?
We have to 90 to the broad Pacific
Ocean. There couple of American
steamers make a few trips every year
TO the British colonies of New Zea-
land and New South Wales. But they
are only enabled to do this because of
subsidies paid to them by the liberal
governments of these two colonies.
With these exceptions we will scar
cely find the American flag on the Pa
cific Ocean beyond the limit of Ha-
waiian territory.
And what magnificent field this
little group OF Hawaiian Islands If
fords for American shipping. OF the
exports from Honolulu for 1896, valu-
ed by the customs authorities %15,-

same period, amounting to $7,164,-
561.40, goods valued at $5,212, 1872. AZ
We're carried in American ships, while
British ships carried cargoes valued
at $1,065, 209.30, German ships $31S,-
161.17, Hawaiian ships 1851, 2s5.73, and
carried in bottoms not classified

for the year 1896, according to the
books of the Hawaiian Collector Gen
eral, the United States had S2.53 per

Over SO per cent of our trade with
the Hawaiian group of Islands was
carried on under the United States
flag, more than $1s,000,000 worth OF
merchandise to and from these little
Islands. Undoubtedly Hawaii is to,
day the mainstay of the American
merchant marine engaged in the deer
sea foreign transportation trade. The
United States Treasury records tel

ATTITUDE or THE ADMINISTRATIONS.
This action, continued Mr. Storer,

to discriminate against American meats,
They pretend that our sheep, cattle and

fact is our system of inspection is the
