The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1897-05-03

Among the many schemes for cele-
brating the siXtieth anniversary of
Queen Nictoria's reign is one which
will recall lne incident of the Armada.
Every prominent hill top, in Great
Britain is to have its bon fire and the
light is to flash from peak to peak
from the pleasant hop fields of Kent
to the bleak cliffs of Cape Wrath, and
from Lands End to John o. Greats. 1t
will go on happier and more peace
full mission than that which Macau-
ley's celebrated fragment describes in
the lines that make the salient points
of English landscape pass before ones
eyes. But had it not been for the
fighting days of good Queen Bess it
is doubtful whether Britishers would
now be celebrating the anniversary of
next month. England might have re-
manned an appenage of Spain, and be
as far behind the world as Spain is
now.

The story of the japanese emigrants

The story of the japanese emigrants
who were returned does not hang TO-
gether very well. In an article Of
April 30, the Japan Advertiser says:
-'All of them (the emigrants) were
found to possess over fifty yen in gold
in their pockets, and yet they were re-
jected." While on the oath it is stat
ed that the returned emigrants on
board the Coptic are Gin distressing
condition on account of funds" AS
the return passage was only fifteen
ven, and for this the Sakura Maru be-
came responsible, it is not clear how
the emigrants could be destitute when
they landed in Japan. The fact APP
pears clear enough that they never
owned the nifty yen in gold, but that
it was returned to the rightful owners
as soon as it was found that the Ha-
waiian Government did not allow
them to land. The statement is di-
rectly into the hands of our Govern
ment, as are also some others circulat-
ed notably that those japanese who
did land, were allowed to do so after
bribing the officials. Statements of
this kind recoil on the heads of those
that make them.

pant of tdc throne, who was entitled
to receive the revenues of said lands
only by virtue of his or her official
position as Chief Magistrate. The
Kalakaua dynasty had no claim on
them whatever by the general law of
interference. In fact, no claim of that
kind exists at present.
"In the Legislative session of 1890
it was suggested that the vested rights
in the Crown Lands, should be provid-
ed for by issuing bonds, the interest
of which should be equal to the an
nual receipts from said land. and
which should expire at his death.
1.-THE object of this proposal was to
enable the Government to open up
these valuable lands, embracing $780,
900 acres, to settlement by industrious
farmers of small means"
The above sentences are quoted
from Professor Alexander's letter to
the Attorney General, dated March 81,
1893. and forwarded to the Hon. J. H.
Blount, April 10, 1893.
Professor Alexander has for years
devoted himself to the land question
of Hawaii and has written at large on
the subject, besides appearing in
Court as witness, innumerable times
His views on such a question are
sound. Thus, it is evident that upon
the abolition of the office for which
the revenues of the Crown Lands were
appropriated, the lands have es-cheat-
ed to the Government, and the latter
has legally exercised it's right and
opened them up for settlement, to the
very great benefit of the Republic of
Hawaii.

LABOR.

There seems to be a slight hitch rel
alive to the carrying out of Mr.. Fitz-
gerald's scheme for introducing white
labor upon the plantations. This hitch
can be met. 1t is true that the Govern
ment has no funds at its disposal for
this purpose, and that it cannot have
until the meeting of the next Legis-
lature, but the necessary funds could
be supplied by the planters them
selves. 1t is a case where urgency is
necessary. The Hawaiian Government
and every one who is interested in
making living here-and that in
cludes every one who is resident upon
the islands, and more especially those
who have children coming after them
know that we need every friend that
can be enlisted N the cause to help
us to maintain our prosperity. A place
may be naturally fertile, may be bless
ed with an excellent climate, but there
may be circumstances which will al
most nullify those natural advant-
ages.
1t is conceded on all sides that a
change must come over our labor
| system. 1t is necessary from an econ
omic, as well as from political view
The change cannot be made in an in
slant; it is no case of clapping hands
and presto, the Asiatic laborer is
changed for the white cultivator; il
will take time and care to carry out
the plan. What is needed, at once, is
! to shew that the planters as body
are willing and anxious to make the
change in perfect good faith; that
they are not using the plan as stalk
ing horse to obtain what they desire
and then drop it like hot potato
and return to former methods.
We have now an opportunity of ally
ing ourselves with party of immense
strength. AS has been shewn in these
columns, we have already very strong
hackers: but however strong we may
think we are, we need every friend we
can make. If we can shew our good
faith to the labor organizations of the
| United States we obtain a hacker
whose power is little understood by
many here. 1t is true dividends viii
not be so large, but it is better to have
less dividends than none at all. That
is the question at issue. The die viii
be cast in a couple of days.

GROWN LANDS.

julius Palmer, in letter to the
Washington Post, has a good deal to
say upon the subject of Crown Lands.
His letter is headed: Can We Annex
Hawaii" and he distinctly says at the
commencement, 81, and l alone, am
responsible for these sentiments"
julius has an idea that what used
to be called Crown Land are the pri-
vate property of the eX-Queen and
that only she can give a tide to them.
Failing the Queen, they would eventu-
ally descend to each individual Ha-
waiian. Julius has taken a notion that
the principal and income of these
lands has been applied by the rulers
for the support of the people of Ha-
wall. The latter is so brilliant prop
osition that julius enlarges upon it
and has vision, in the event of an
nexation, of each individual Hawaiian
receiving, as a pension, his share of
the income that had been applied by
the ruler for the support of the people
of Hawaii" 1t is beautiful vision,
but it will ever remain a vision in Ju-
lius' teemlng imagination.
One reply is always ready for such
twaddle as this. Deposed monarchs
have no territorial rights. This can
be illustrated by countless cases from
the history of Europe, where deposed
he hn, hai nla
in almost every capital of Europe.
Deposed English monarchs have
been the pensioners of France
and deposed French monarchs
have been the pensioners of
England. Napoleon III. was wise in
his generation. When the crash came
he had money in the English funds
and comfortable mansion at Chisel-
hurst. Had it not been for that he
would have been a be"gar, for no one
in France would have advocated his
rights to any private property in that
country. Indeed. there was grand
sale of Imperial effects. The Empress
Eugene had to fly with only hand
satchel, and she did not recover even
a pocket handkerchief or single ring
of either her wardrobe or her jewels
which she had left behinu. The Ha-
waiian Government behaved in very
different manner. 1t never touched n
silver worth of the eX-Queen's pri-
vate property, and has allowed her the
freedom of travelling abroad and draw
ing funds from her property here to
be used by such men as julius Palmer
to intrigue against the Government
here, and to Witty everyone who is
connected with the Hawaiian Repub-
lie. Between what might have been
and what is there is wide gulf which
Julius does not appreciate. The posi-
ton of the eX-Queen in the United
States would have been very different
it, instead of living at her own expense
in Washington, she had reached that
city begging for lodging and pecu-
mary assistance-as many a deposed
monarch has done before her. Julius
would not have enthused so much had
he had to take the hat round, instead
of living at free quarters,
Now with regard to the Crown
Lands. "They were no private prop

Champion Roasters

are a very necessary article
when housewives use gasoline
or Blue Flame OIL Stores, and
desire to utilize ovens to a
greater capacity than the stove
will allow. These roasters are
made especially to be used
over an open fire for roasting
meats, fowl or fish. By plac-
ing it over the flame for four
or five minutes, it becomes as
hot as any one desires. Being
constructed p shaped, with
the fiat surface to the fire, a
door at one end sufficiently
large to admit good sized
roasts, housekeepers find it in
