The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1897-03-18
@imeRy q o7oicS.
MARCH 10. 1897.

All Honolulu is web aware
of the sterling qualities of the
Tribune Bicycle hat has done
50 much in the past year to
advance the wheeling interest
in these islands, and all we
can say is that the "'97"
wheels are better than they
ever were, and the 90"
wheels were given the prefer
ence over all others by the
Scientific american.
Among the changes made is the in
crease of the upper frame tube to rs
in, and the adoption of one inch tubu-
lar seat post, secured by clamp, re-
tanning otherwise the same form of
forging into which the rear tubes are
brazed. The crank fastening is also
improved, and secured more positively
by the use of a small key instead of
clamp screw.
Most important perhaps, among the
'97 features, we might mention the
new Tribune chain which will surely
be appreciated. In accuracy and fine
finish this new chain will equal the
other working portions of our wheels.
The blocks are hardened, polished, and
drawn to straw color, the rivets
hardened, the side links milled, pol
ished and blued and each link neatly
stamped Tribune" 90, 500; '97,
$11o.
This year we will handle
the Stormer bicycle. These
wheels are as good as money
can buy. The guarantee given
is an excellent one and is
sufficient to induce purchasers.
We have in stock three
Jimmy wheels, strictly new
and in first class condition,
that we will let go at the
ridiculously low price of $45.
We have a line of superior
quality bicycle shoes that we
offer at So per pair, Very
few people are aware that we
carry these articles, but they
are just as necessary to our
stock of sundries as our line OF
lamps, saddles, hand and foot
pumps, metal and wood handle
bars, enamels and oils.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1897-03-18

The Royalist is getting quite excited
over what he thinks will be his success
in the near future. 1t is only a case
of whistling to keep his own courage
up and an inherent desire to deceive
those whom he is leading. The Re-
public has come to stay. The days
when Republics go backward are gone
forever. Monarchy in the largest and
most powerful countries is gliding to
it's end. The next century will see Re
publican government where now the
thrones seem most secure There is no
fear of the restoration of Hawaiian
Monarchy, though Julius Palmer bray
never so loudly in its fallen cause. Ha-
waian Monarchy is dead and buried
in the grave of it's own making.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1897-03-18
THE JAPANESE QUESTION.

The Japanese question develops al
most from day to day and from hour
to hour. 1t was but a small affair a
while ago, but it has now become the
question of the day. The Star has
constantly been pointing out the dang
er of the position. The treaty practic-
ally allows us to be overrun with jap
anese. This treaty, be it remembered,
is a legacy from Royalist times. Two
courses are open to us.
The first and shortest is annexation
to the United States. Obtain this and
all danger from Japan or any other
source will disappear. With the power
of the United States no country dare
NEEDLE. How soon we shall be able to
obtain this protection it is impossible
to say. 1t may come any day. The
cause is well represented in Washing
ton and the far seeing statesmen of
that country know very well that with
the aggressive policy of the various
powers whose interests lie in and
around the Pacific Ocean, the time can
not be far distant when for self protec-
tion the islands must be annexed or
else later on seized at considerable
cost. The same policy which pur-
chased Alaska ought to annex the Ha-
waiian Islands and ultimately Cuba.
The second course open to us, if the
first cannot be gained, is to do our
utmost to abrogate the treaty with
Japan. 1t is a one-sided affair. On
the face of it, the clause which allows
Hawaiians to go about any part of
Japan and gives the same right to Jap
anese in the Hawaiian Islands seems
fair enough, but when this reciprocity
of moving about means that a dozen
Hawaiians do freely move about in
Japan while twenty-five thousand or
so of Japanese move about Hawaii the
reciprocal relations do not seem to be
quite so evenly balanced.
Negotiations for the abrogation of
the treaty should be commenced at
once. Meantime the law with regard
to immigrants should be most strictly
enforced. The Introduction of "stud-
ents' upon bogus fifty dollars should
be carefully guarded against. The
utter absurditiy of the fifty dollars
in the pocket business is
shown by the fact that these

FIRMNESS IN GOVERNING.

To govern State, however small.
firmness is required. A shilly shally-
my policy only defeats its own ends.
The smaller the State, the firmer its
government should be. BY tirmncss,
respect is gained even from powers
who hold the small State in the hollow
of their hands. Firmness at the time
of the late Minister Willis celebrated
demand for the Provisional Govern
ment to step down and out resulted in
the consolidation of the Republic of
Hawaii and the putting of it on the
solid basis upon which it now stands.
Hesitation at crisis of that sort
would have been positively criminal
on the part of those who had the
leadership. Determination will over
come obstacles that appear insur-
mountable when viewed from a calm
er standpoint

chances of success. They had no
drilled troops, they had no organized
commissariat, their numbers were
small in comparison with the power
that they pitted themselves against,
and yet they won and kept what they
had won by sheer determination and
firmness. There was no let up. 1t
was either one side or the other. Eth
er you are for me or against me.
With such policy it is easy to gain
true friends who will stick by you
through thick and thin. Men under
stand what they are about They
know there is no middle course. The
trimmer or the man who sits on the
fence knows he has no chance. Wealth
ercock policy wins the respect of no
one. What is wanted is an objective
point. Work for that point and let
nothing make you deviate from it. Ex-
pediency is very poor horse to sit
on in governmental affairs, Determine
alton and firmness coin true friends
and even gain the respect of the
enemy. An iron rod up the backbone
of some people is needed.

The return of the rose is something
that Honolulu should be thankful TO
Professor Koebele for. He has evil
IDENTIFY been successful in destroying
the pestiferous japanese beetle-this
is another thing we have to thank ia
pan for. Roses are now to be seen
springing up all over, and new plants
are being put out. Honolulu used to
be a very garden of roses, and their
fragrance used to fill the air. 1t is
likely that it will once more become
so. Science in this case has helped TO
make this little bit of the world more
beautiful. Science is usually thought
to attend to the useful only; but it is
Science that has made the whole
world more beautiful. Science has
given us beautiful architecture, beauti-
full fabrics, beautiful pigments and
now, uniting with nature, has saved
and restored to us one of natures
most beautiful flowers.
