CONSISTENCY.

The San Francisco Bulletin was
one of the Hessian press that enter
ed into a contract with Hawaiian
annexationists to WORK for the crime
against Hawaii for coin. That con-
tract being completed we find the
Bulletin uttering moral preachments
for the edifcation Of the pious.
Here is what it has to say of land
grabbing and It's consequences:
This stewardship over the weaker
nations OF the earth opens wide
field OF labor. 1t is field which no
nation should enter upon until it
has established good record at
home. There are too many dark
spots in the best governed countries
OF Europe and America to warrant
the conclusion that any OF these ma
tions of the earth OF course, Great
Britain and the United States could
give the inferior races some points
in the science OF making war None
ofsthem can present an evidence OF
advanced civilization equal to our
rapid-G guns. We can kill men at
a greater distance than they, thereby
making the invasion OF their terri
tory safe. We can do many things
they have not yet learned how to do,
but it would be difficult to establish
the fact that, taking the bad viii b
the good, the highest civilization
best promotes the happiness OF a
people.
If we admit that our civilization
represents stage in the evolution
OF the human race which inferior
races may eventually reach, it does
not follow that it is for their good
that we force our civilization upon
the less enlightened peoples in ad-
vance of the ordinary processes Of
evolution. A clash OF civilizations
is pretty sure to bring unhappiness
to the people least prepared to
meet it. Behind all this rage to in
strnct inferior races in the arts OF
our civilization is the greed Of trade.
Trade is a grand thing when it con-
sists of an interchange of commod.
tiles which supplements the pro-
ducts OF the industries OF two
countries, but trade forced upon a
people at the cannon's mouth is
good only for the nation that owns
the cannon. The invasion Of Asia
and Africa by European countries
is a thinly disguised movement to
compel the people of these conquer
cd countries to buy goods that they
do not want 1t is little better as a
matter OF morals than the lombard
ment OF the defenses OF Hopgkong
to make an opening for the opium
Of India.

A CLEVER DEAL.
The Hawaiian Commercial and
Sugar Company Chenges Hands.

The Hawaiian Commercial and
Sugar Company Chenges Hands.
Rudolph and Gus. Spreckels have
no further interest in the big Maui
Plantation, and they have gone out
OF the plantation with flying colors
and enormous profits.
When the "split" in the Spreckels
family occurred some five year ago
Gus. aud Rudolph purchased the
property known as the Hawaiian
Commercial aud Sugar Company
from the "old man" at song.
They placed the big plantation
ON now basis, and replaced the
former management with new blood,
new men and now ideas.
The shares in the big concern, at
one time quoted at 25 cents a share,
eventually sold at $37. The Spree
kels boys sold and sold, always
booming the plantation, until they
represented only 400 shares in the
| concern.
Knowing that the family compact
in Honolulu was after their 6nan
cial scalps, they kept on the game,
and when they had unlcaded all the
stock they cared to dispose OF, they
quietly rendered their resignation
from the Board OF Directors and
handed over the management OF the
Spreckels7ille Plantation to the
"missionaries."
1t was we'll known here that Mr..
j. B. Castle, few weeks ago, went
to San Francisco TO close the Spree
kelsville deal. He arrived too late,
however, and the "missionaries"
have now control OF the gigantic
