TOO MUCH SUSPICION.

The strong flash Of common sense
from Mr., Davies, on Monday morning,
as revealed in his remarkable letter
which we published, was as binding
to some people, as the continuous
flashes of lightning on Friday night.
For the first time, since the revolu-
ton of SO, Mr.. Davies puts on rec
ord the statement that the present
Government is the universally recog-
nized Government of Hawaii" This
is a full, complete and voluntary ac-
ceptance OF the Republic In a coun-
try where a few men only are holding
the Republic against strong force of
hostile influences, it is a gain if one
good man falls in line.
The logic and conclusion of this
statement is that Mr.. Davies gives up
now and forever. any hope of the re-
storation of the native dynasty, in any
form whatever. We presume that
those in sympathy with him, take the
same view. He, at least, has the re-
putation of being a sincere and truth
full man.
We notice that some of the support
ers Of the Republic are not very en-
thusiastic over his attitude. By a pro-
cess Of disconnected thought, which is
very common to suspicious and excit-
ed men, this pronounced and open allie
glance to the Republic is regarded as
a devious, subtle, and underhanded de-
vice for restoring the native dynasty.
If it is, it is sly, devilish sly" Trou-
BILE generally comes in some form,
when community is converted into
a hot bed for breeding suspicious. The
writers on the bloody French revolu-
ton, that occurred one hundred years
ago, say that when the patriots began
TO suspect everybody, they soon fell to
suspecting each other, and then one
set OF suspects began TO cut OF the
heads OF the other set of suspects. A
community soon gets "rattled'' when it
gives way to general suspicious.
The wisdom OF the hour would seem
TO be, TO make the most strenuous
efforts to consolidate the Anglo-Saxon
element here, in face of its racial foes.
rather than weaken it by suspicious"
We need consolidation, and not dis
We need, in the interest of good
government, and of annexation if it is
possible, the aid of all of those who can
influence the natives. 1t does not pay
to kick such people now.
We gave the natives. and their
friends Constitution which secured
to them the privilege of taking things
into their own hands at the ballot box.
1t was an invitation TO trouble. in the
event OF delay in annexation. We did
it, in spite of some strong advice to
the contrary. As we have made them
a factor in our political situation, it
would seem to be good sense, on the
whole, not to repel Mr.. Davies and
his friends, after the announcement
that has been made.

DIFFICULTIES IN LEG ISLATIoN.

Those who have been members OF
legislative bodies for many years,
know the drawbacks of legislative in
experience. Men are like teams, which
pull together to the best advantage,
only after careful training. Judges
well appreciate the value OF team"
work. Many months, even years are
required to get large Bench OF judges
in good working order.
Legislative bodies are so large and
their terms of Office are so short, that
it is simply impossible for the best and
most careful legislation TO be enacted
The average representative is wholly
unframed in the Art of government,
and he cannot pick it UP in a day. The
sugar planters would resent it, if the
carpenters and masons of Honolulu
should meet in convention, and not
only tell them how 10 cultivate their
plantations, in detail, but compel them
to do It, or if the store keepers were
to meet in convention and tell the COT
fee planters how they must cultivate
the coffee plant.

VALUABLE TALK.

Young Men.
There were present last evening
about half a hundred young men to
hear the talk which Mr.. P. c. Jones had

vations OF a successful man who has

speaker Reed is not 'bigoted," as
the Priest said when he was asked if
his temperance principles forbade him
from taking drink. He may be OPP
posed to annexation, but assent to it,
as a member of the Republican party.
If. in his opinion, the interests of the
party demand it, he is not the sort of
a man to remain 'bigoted." He would
be the judge of the needs of the party,
and act on his own responsibility. The
report, therefore, that he now favors
annexation, may have much truth in
it. It is possible too that the growing
demands of American commerce have
touched him at last.

Acting-President Cooper read his
message TO the Senate and the House
of Representative Wednesday. 1t is a
clear, brief, document, which does not
discuss questions, but outlines the
work of the Administration since the
last session, and it makes a few valu-
able suggestions regarding future adj
ministration. 1t alludes of course, to
our anomalous, half annexed condition,
and advises only such legislation as
may be needed to carry on the Govern
ment effectually until the important
political issue is settled. The reports
of the Ministers contain the valuable
material for a study of the Admins
tration during the last two years.

ANNEXATION AND NATURALIZA.
Tl0N.

The naturalization of the japanese.
in Hawaii, as American citizens. in the
event Of annexation. can be effected
only by amendment of the American
laws now in force. We cited, recent
", the case of q native Hawaiian. liv-
ing in Utah. who had applied for ma
turalization. His application was de-
MED on the ground that the statute ex-
cluded him. The provisions OF this
statute, Section 1859, are that natur-
alization is permitted only in the
case of aliens being free white persons
and aliens OF African nationality, and
persons OF African descent" This sec
ton was enacted TO cover the cases OF
the negroes, who were not citizens, or
entitled to citizenship at the close of
the Civil war.
One of the Federal courts, in the
State OF Massachusetts, has also decided
that a japanese cannot be naturalized
under the existing laws. because he is
not white. or OF African nationality, or
Of African descent. Congress may of
course repeal the law at any time. I'm

the United States, while each country
reserves the right to regulate immi-
grafton, it gives Japan the most favor

tons net burden, 1872 feet long, 36.8 feet

So far the MurieI has had the best
of the race, as she went to Puget

glad to say that the piles completely

the ointment and I've not had occasion

recommend DOan's Ointment"
Experience with DOan's Ointment in
the past three years has demonstrated
to the medical profession. as Well as
to thousands of sufferers from piles,
that it is the safest and most effectual
cure ever offered to the public, con
tanning no Opiates or pOisOns of any
kind, painless and convenient to han
die, and being sold by dealers at soc
per box, is within the reach of every
sufferer.
Very frequently two or three boxes
have made a complete cure of chronic
cases that have not yielded TO other
remedies for years.
There is scarcely a disease more ag-
graVating and obstinate to cure than
the various forms OF piles. Doan S
Ointment has superseded ali inefect-
ual remedies and no one suffering with
any rectal trouble makes any mistake
in giving DOan's Ointment a trial.
Any dealer can furnish the Doan' S
Ointment as it is the best known and
most popular remedy for piles and if
you ask him he can doubtless refer you
