The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1898-04-26

Senator Schmidt of the Senate Com
merce Committee shows in his report
the necessity of protecting our home
industries. In the matter of Hawa-
iian soap quite a trade has been built
up by the soap works, and the article
was considered satisfactory by a very
large clientage. But its success caus-
ed other dealers to have an inferior
article made abroad and put up in
exactly the same style of packages. AS
there is no law against this, the infe-
rior and consequently cheaper article
almost destroyed the home made
trade. With the passage of Bill No.
80, this work will become a INSIDE
meanor. Both this bill and the bill
against the adulteraton of food and
drugs are i'm the line of benefitting and
protecting the consumer, and are
among the bits of Legislation which
appeal most readily to the general
public.

POOR CHINA.

The full French demands upon Chi
ma were by no means modest, and
show how the various powers of Eu-
rope were intriguing one against the
other. They ran as follows:
1. An undertaking that the three
Southern provinces. Gunnan, kuang-
81 and Kuangtung, shall not be alien
ated to any other power.
>. \ lease of Kuangchou Bay (on
the south coast of China, about 200
miles w. 5. w. of Hongkong) on the
same terms as those on which Germa-
ny has acquired Kiaochou Bay.
3. The right to build railway from
Laoltai Tin Tongking) to Yunnanfu.
I. An undertaking that the head of
the Imperial Chinese Post shall be a
Frenchman.
Is it to be wondered at that with
demands such as these pouring into
the government and that government
powerless to refuse them, the young
Chinese party of the South is ripe for
revolt? The position of the Chinese
Emperor is most extraordinary. The
despised among the nations, he lives
in sort of fools paradise, not know
ing what is really going on in the
other world, only hearing garbled ac-
counts of what happens, amid an at
mosphere of fiattery and adulation to
which the court of the most exclusive
European monarch is as the air of
heaven, and believing himself the very
greatest man upon this globe. What
an awakening there will be one day,
at the court of Peking

stance in point of the viciousness of
the license system. Do what one will,
one must do wrong to some one I'M
der that system. 1t is to be hoped
that the object lesson supplied by that
bill will have its effect upon both
houses and show them the necessity
of having some rational and scientific
method of taxation instead of the
crude methods which we are using at
the present time.

THE LOCK AND THE KEY.

You can operate lock only with
the key that fits it. Very well. So
you can cure a disease only with the
medicine that goes down to the cause
Of it. Now, many so-ca led diseases
are in truth only forms Of one disease,
branches Of one tree, as we may say.
For example, if we can nourish the
body and enrich the blood, we speedily
get rid of many of our troubles,
such as Anemia, Fevers, rheumatism,
Scrofula and Blood Disorders, and so
on-all proofs that the body lacks
vitality and force. Nothing is SO
effective a body builder as cod liver
oil but, alas, how many are nau-
seated at the very thought Of it. In

SEVENTEEN MILES.

1t is curious to note how in every
advance made by the United States
there has ever been the short sighted
party which would have things stay
as they are. The Pacific" has an
able article upon the point. Starting
story is told that the selectment of
colonial town were directed to lay
out road into the Uwilderness "such
as would meet the needs of the peo-
pie" They laid out road just sew
enteen miles west, stating "that was
as far as it ever would be needed"
There have been generations upon
generations of the same kind since
then. and they still exist. Men can
not understand that nation must
either grow or stagnate, and stagna-
ton means national death.
When the Louisiana purchase was
made the followers of the selectmen
said that it was unwise, it was too eX-
tensive, it was more than the Repub-
lie could govern Moreover. the in
habitants were wholly alien and could
not be assimilated. One hears the
ring of these arguments down to the
present
Later the question of Oregon was
under consideration and it was de-
clared it was not worth saving to the
United States. Thomas H. Benton
said The Rocky Mountains may be
named without Offense as presenting
convenient natural and everlasting
boundary. Along the back of the
ridge the western limits of the Re
public should be drawn" He had on
ly got his road seventeen miles west.
When Seward made his purchase of
Alaska the descendants of the select
men howled Stewards folly" the
''New National Refrigerator and
"America's Polar Bear Reserve" And
so it has been all along the line. There
has never been an extension of terri
tory but those selectmen have called
out. hold on now, the seventeenth
milestone has been reached. We
must stop now
The favorite phrase at the present
time is. not the Rocky Mountains. but
the Pacific is the natural boundary.
If the United States steps beyond the
shores OF California. her pretty feet
VIII get wet, and so the descendants
OF the Selectmen have become the anti
anneNationists OF today. The argu-
ments used against the annexation of
the Islands today are absurdly alike
those at every stage OF the history of
the expansion Of the United States.
There is the same talk of natural
boundaries. There is the same talk
of alien people to govern, than which
no argument can he more absurd. for
an ever increasing army of aliens
pOurs into the United States through
Castle Garden, beside which our IOO,-
then again our so-caIled aliens are at
least half of them accustomed to Anne
rican civilization, which the Croats,
Bohemians, Sclavonians, Hungarians,
Firms, Italians, Russians. and others
who flock in there in tens and TWEEN
ties of thousands. are not and never
will be.
There is also the same argument
about the impossiblitv of giving
protection in time of war. It was the
argument used i'm reference IN tbo

Speaker Pro Tenn. Griffith was given out. MT. Griffith returned to his home at Marysville Thursday night, but Mrs. Griffith, who has had quite an experi- ence here the past week, remained at the State capital until early this morn ing. Soon after his return home Mir. Griffith found the sentiment such that he changed his mind and he wired Mrs. Griffith to join him at their home but the anti Hanna workers persuaded her to remain here. Representative Griffith then sent s. w. Hilton. his neighbor and relative, and Mrs. Griffith's sister and other neighbors to Columbus to present the situation in Union County to her and request her to join him at their home. After the arrival of Mrs Grif- filth at her home this morning the fol- lowing was prepared. brought here to- night by delegation of Republicans and given out by the Hanna managers:

tives of the State that I was their choice for Speaker pro tenn. When l was led to believe that there was an organized enort to form a slate on which my name was not to be considered it was very nat ural for me at least to feel chagrined
 not so much in losing what seemed to he a kindly offering to me, as that the lead CTS of the organizations appeared to ig- nore my candidacy. Wise or unwise, I resolved to help break the slate which could be only accomplished in the way 1t was done. During the time I was en- gagged in this movement l still expected to vote For MT. Hanna for Senator. as I afterward so stated to him and some of my constituents who called on me After ward l felt justified in writing the card of January 1. 1898. in which l declined to vote for MT. Hanna. In supporting the organization. in which. however. i i'm sisted that every officer from Speaker to page should be Republican, I soon found that had offended my Republican constituents, and l felt 1t would not be pleasant to return home. On the 9th inst. l returned to Marysville to see and hear for myself the true situation. Many of my constituents from all parts of the country have called on me, and I now

Considering all these facts, hereby an nounce that l will support and vote for Hon. Marcus A. Hanna for both the short and long term as long as he is a cendi- date. JOHN E. GRIFFITH
