THE BOGUS PETITION.

! The natives who concocted and car
ried to Washington, the petition
against annexation, undertook to play
the American Senators for fools. 1t is
a pity, looking at the matter from the
native standpoint, that some of their
haole friends did not whisper in their
ears that the Senators were not "born
idiots" The fraud they have practiced
is so transparent and ridiculous, the
very lowest pot-house statesman
laughs at them
One would expect that even if these
native leaders took the Senators for
fools, that they would have suspected,
and been on their guard against that
interchangeable worker, l.. A Thurston
They know that he is a terror to his
opponents. They know that he has a
genius for discovering the weak points
in his adversary's case. They know
thai his activity is measureless And
they know that he is eternally vigil
ant. At least men of ordinary intelIi-
gence know it. The petitions show
that they, these native leaders, have
not even ordinary intelligence. They
might as we'll in the first instance, have
sent Mr.. Thurston a formal notice in
writing stating: 1--WE shall take petit
tiOns against annexation to Washing
ton, with a large percentage of bogus
signatures. Please be on the lookout"
If the natives were not in almost
hopeless ignorance of the situation,
they would see at once, how utterly I'M
able they are to make any advance I'M
der such leadership. They will be de-
ceived and thwarted at all times, and
in all places. Men who play such fool
ish tricks in Washington, at their eX-
pense. will betray and ruin them.
Though the fingers of these igno-
rant leaders have severely suffered
| from contact with the Thurston buzz
saw, the native will not known it..
These leaders now tell the people that
| they have defeated the ratification of
ltae treaty The native believes it. The
coincidence OF their visit to Washing
|
| ton, and the withdrawal Of the treaty
| to give place ro the joint resolution,
will be regarded t,y them as evidence
of the politica3 power of the native
commissioners. Here again the native is
deceived. FOr on the exposure of the
bogus petition by Mr.. Thurston, the au>
thCrs of i lost credit with Congress,
for honesty, patriotism, veracity and
political wisdom. More than that, they
led Congress 10 infer that the natives
take no interest in preserving their in
dependence, for if they did, they would
have signed the petition. The poor ma
tives will again be called upon to sup
port these miser able fakes. Their
loyalty to their ow 4 racial independ-
ence is worthy of better guidance.

EXEMPTIONS FROM TAXATION

The question of exempting church
property and property devoted to char
liable uses, from taxation, becomes
more perplexing every day. The theory
of taxation was formerly imperfectly
understood. and even at the present
time is far from satisfactory.
But there is tendency to accept one
general proposition on the subject, that
only property owned by the Govern
ment, for the benefit and use of all
should be exempt. Just SO far as this
rule is departed from, it permits dan
gerous presidents to be established. 1t
enables sectarian interests to obtain
preferences.
The State Regents of New York re-
Gently published the fact that the value
of the property and endowments of coll
leges, professional institutes and tech
nical schools has increased within
seven years from $39,045, GOA to ST., 14S,-
944, or nearly doubled. The theory OF
exemption relieves much of this prop
erty which is entirely sectarian from
it's share of the burden of supporting
the Government. Moreover, it casts
upon the many, the total population,
the entire burden of protecting all prop
erty. This means unequal burdens. It
is difficult to draw the line between the
charitable and non-charitable institu-
tions. The more complicated the So
cial forces become, the more numerous
the questions arise. Then sectarian
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1898-04-02

disputes arise. Owing to the wisdom
and business forethought of the leaders
of the Roman Catholic Church it pos
sesses more property in many of the
States of the American Republic than
other denominations, and therefore de-
mands larger exemption from taxation.
Churches and institutions for chart,
table uses, excepting those owned by
the Government for the common bene>
fit of all, should not be themselves. the
objects of Government charity Con-
tributing to the expense of their own
protection, they stand on the same
ground as do all vc.sor interests. A man
who does good @-n his money does
not ask for exemption
Our large mixed population calls
upon us for special care in this matter
If the rule of exemption is extended,
there is no reason why the Asiatics
should not receive the benefit from it in
the maintenance of organizations in
tended to enforce the doctrines of
Buddha and Confucius. Some people
would be rather shocked if a Young
Mems Buddha Association" or a
Young Mems Confucius Association"
should ask for State aid, by exempting
their property from taxation.

LAND TITLES.

The need OF a law for granting land
titles becomes more apparent every
year. The able report of Representa-
tive Robertson makes it clear. 1t is un-
lust, absurd, and impolitic that there
should be any more difficulty in deter
mining the title of land, than it is in
determining the title to horse. Latent
defects in titles cause uncertainties IN
values, and involve much expense in
ascertaining true ownership. In the
United States, the imperfect boundaries
and titles to lands covered by Spanish
grants, amounting to many millions OF
acres, caused so much loss and annoy
ance, that a few years ago, Congress
passed laws, by which, in a speedy
manner, the titles to these grants could
be judicially determined. The object
OF these laws is to enable any one
claiming title to a grant to bring into
Court, by due process of law, not only
those openly claiming title in opposi-
ton, but all others, and to compel them
to substantiate their claims.
cases are constantly O|Nul rs -
where the most careful examination
of titles by expert lawyers, does not
disclose defects of titles. Interests
vested by the marriage relation, are
often especially difficult to ascertain.
The records of deaths and marriages
have been imperfectly kept. The con-
sequence is that it has become quite
trade among the native lawyers, we are
told, to hunt up flaws in titles and put
the possessors OF property, who have
paid full values, to much expense and
annoyance in protecting themselves.
The tendency in all progressive coun-

CANE AND BEET.

Jared c. Smith, assistant agrostoIo-
gfst of the United States, publishes his
views regarding the sugar industries
He says: THE Hawaiian cane in
dustry is a bugaboo conjured up to
scare the people, and is being used as
such by men who have other ends in
view"
But his conclusions are not very
comforting to us. He tells the Ameri-
can people that "cane sugar cultivation
is doomed to become extinct except in
those parts of the tropics which have
eptionaliy rich soil, and an unlimit-
ed supply of cheap labor" He urges
the American farmer to believe that the
sugar beet industry will finally crush
the cane sugar industry and therefore,
there is nothing to fear from the indus
try in Hawaii. Consequently, there will
be no harm iii annexation.
In proving his statement, Mr.. Smith
refers to the recent report of the Royal
British commission on the depressed
condition of the sugar industry of the
West Indies. One recommendation
made by the commission, he cites, and
we refer to it, because it is in line with
our own views. cit recommends the
establishment of botanic garden,
with branch stations in each of the
principal Islands, the whole under the
supervision of an imperial officer. Each
botanical station should then be &C
lively engaged in the introduction and
distribution of economic plants, the
ilissem alton of information in regard
to the same, and each should be sup
piled with suitable men capable of 6iv-
iT-S ne necessary il - and as

This is the advice Of an able com
mission to whom was committed the
charge Of saving the West India colo
MES from bankruptcy.
Our own people, utterly dependent
upon the same Industry, do not seem
to realize that we need to follOg the
same in order to diversity our ov I in
dustries. The sum of $4,000 is pro-
posed by the Legislature for the e. D.
1ishment of an experiment station. The
sum is hardly sufficient to pay for the
quality of brains" that are needed for
a superintendent alone. The amount de-
signated is utterly Insignificant, in
view OF our necessities. The proposed
appropriation shows that the subject is
not grasped by the Legislature. The
to vote money to buy iron plates for
the ibattleships A few days ago, it
voted $50,000,000 for war preparation.
1t realized the critical situation. We
must realize our critical situation. The
United States can buy warships at once
with $50,000,000. We cannot buy in
dustries. They must be established by
hard, patient labor, by new and train
ed men, by a live and common senti-
ment and belief that through them, en-
tering the worlds markets, we may Sc
cure prosperity to a growing class of
intelligent people on these Islands.
Had any persistent crank 20 years
ago pushed this matter, with the APP
prevail Of the people, we would have es-
tablished some of these industries.

Upon Her-A Grand, Complete
Cure by Hoods SarsapariIIa
After Others Failed.
"I was taken with neuralgia in nv
head and eyes. Not long after this,
scrofula sore appeared on my left cheek,
extending from my upper lip to my eve.
Other sores came on my neck and on my
right arm and one of my limbs. They
were very troublesome and pain uI and
SOON became great running sores Nv
face looked SO bad that some o. nv
neighbors could not bear to look at me
and advis2d NE 10 wear a bandaga. but
feared this would irritate tie sore and
MAKE it worse. Sol
Could Not Hide the Sores.
My niece, who was familiar with a case
similar to mine, which had been cured bv
HOODS Sarsaparllla, urged me to try it.
Finally was persuaded to do so, and in
short time / saw it was helping me.
The sores began to heal and the neu-
ralgia in ny head was better. In few
months the sores on my arms and limbs
all healed; those on my neck gradually
disappeared and now they are all gone
L have never had any symptom of scrofula
since. One large scar on my right arm is
all the sign that remains of my terrible
affection. The neuralgia is also cured. -
