The Latest Fad.

The people of the rainy city cannot
get along without a fling at Honolulu.
The latest sneer is at the exhibition of
pictures by the Kilohana Art League.
Now among the exhibitors at that eN-
hibition are four professional artists
at least and there are also some eN-
cellent amateurs. Howard Hitchcock S
paintings are well known and are
readily purchased, both here and
abroad. Fred Yates is an artist of
world wide fame, who is showing some
of his newest work. Harold Mott
Smith has studied art in Paris, and is
a rising young painter, while Mrs.
Kelly's water colors would take rank
anywhere. 1t is not necessary to emu
merate others, but it is sufficient to
say that considering the distance
from any art center. the exhibition is
remarkable for its display of profess
sional talent of a high order.

MANIFEST DUTY.

Everything in the diplomatic world
depends upon the fate of the Philip
pines. No one. when Dewey won his
brilliant victory on that Sunday morn
ing in May last had an idea how far
reaching his victory would be. OF
course the main, and at that time the
only object, was to destroy the Span
ish feet in Asatic waters, and thus
prevent it from marrying the Pacific
coast and interfering with the trade
routes to the east. This was most eff
fectively done. Then came the block
AIDE of Manila bay and of necessity ne
gotiations with and assistance to the
insurgents. In very short time Adj
miral Dewey learned that the success
of the insurgents meant anarchy and
he promptly applied for troops. He
had ii weary waiting but finally the
troops arrived and Manila fell to Anne
rican arms and not to those of the in
surgents.
The opening action of the war and
its last action were both fought in
Manila, and the peace negotiations
now hinge on Manila. The situation
there is such that the United States
cannot give way, and that Spain must.
1t is the more evident now than it was
when Manila fell. The Spanish plan
of working for delay, hoping like Mr..
Micawber that something might turn
up" has proved fatal to her hopes in
the Philippines.
Admiral Dewey's last report shows
deplorable state among that portion
of the Islands where the Spanish flag
still flies. The Insurgents have the
Spaniards boxed up in their town and
have possession of the Island. The
Spaniards may be able to hold out,
and probably would until some filibus-
ter brought the insurgents the neces-
sary cannon to batter down their
walls.
If the Philippines were to be restor-
ed to Spain now, it would mean half
century of anarchy, bloodshed, in
cendiarism, brutality and starvation.
# the Spaniards yield, as there seems
every prospect that they will yield, in
spite of all their buster, there will
come an era of peace and prosperity

TRUE INDEPENDENCE.

Fifty-five years ago today the Ha-
waian Islands entered the family Of
nations and entered upon a lettering
existence which was always open to
attack from without and revolution
from within. During these fifty-five
years the Islands have passed through
many vicissitudes, until they have
found safety and peace at last in the
bosom of the Great Republic. This in
dependence is now more assured than
ever it was in 1S43. They need fear
no foe from without and revolution
is impossible.
When one compares the weak State
of 1S43 with the strong Territory of
1898. the contrast is marked. The Is
lands henceforth march on the lines
of progress undisturbed by the fears
of political or diplomatic entangle.
ments. The course is clear before us
and we have only to attend to the de.
velopment of our resources to the very
utmost of our power.
As portion of the United States
the Hawaiian Islands have entered up
on great inheritance, which theil
/ probationary period of fifty-fve years
has prepared them for. They stant
/ today on the fixed and immovable ba
sis of an American territory.

Joe Marsden talks of getting labor
from Russia. The Russian peasant is
accustomed to work hard, and in some
Eastern provinces has been in a state
of semi-starvation for years. With
good wages and plentiful food there
is no doubt about his being better off
here than in Russia. On the other
hand he is intensely ignorant, and is
very superstitious. The question of
climate would not trouble him, as il is
far hotter on the plains of Russia in
August than ever it is here. At the
present time there is a large emigra-
ton from the Eastern provinces to
Siberia on the lands opened up by the
railway.

to those distant isles, such as they
have never known. The United States
apart from all ideas Of aggrandizc-
mcut and expansion, cannot in com
mon humanity retreat from the posi-
ton she now occupies II would he "a
blot upon her civilization.
The holding of the Philippines, how
ever. will be no light task They will
always require a garrison, though in
time that could be reduced and the FL
lipiuos themselves used as troops for
garrison purposes. But that could on
~ come when the Filipinos have be-
come thoroughly contented with Anne
rican rule. There are years of Span
ish misrulc to eradicate.
Unlike the Hawaiian who has been
brought up on American lines. the FL
Iipino has been brought up on Span
ish lines with the very thinncst veneer
of civilization 1t will he long before
he begins TO understand American
methods and American directness. He
has been accustomed to be lied to and
has in consequence become an accom-
plishcd liar himself. 1t will be diff

American is straightforward and
speaks the truth.
