PEACE.

While the dispatches show that peace
is at hand, the situation in the Philip
pines will require large and perhaps
very large increase of naval and mill
tary force. owing to. the disturbed con-
dition Of the country. As Spain puts
the islands in the hands OF the United
States, until a form OF government is
agreed upon for the islands, the United
States must enforce order, and control
the insurgent forces. This may involve
an enormous expense, and an Increased
force. It is uncertain how far the in
surrection extends, or how many are
involved in it. There is nothing to do
but send reinforcements until 1t is GER
tain that there are more than enough
to control the islands.

OUR CHINESE.
tirenent.

The annual reception given on Sat
urday by Mr.. Goo Kim. the Commercial
Agent OF the Chinese Government, in
honor of the birthday Of the Emperor
of China, suggests the quiet existence
on these Islands of Industrious, law
abiding Chinese to the number, accord
ing to the census of 1896, OF q GIG. in
Guiding 1894 children. The Chinese
males exceed the total number OF AM
erican, British and German males by
1926. II the same proportion Of
Chinese males to American males ex-
listed in California the Chinese resi-
dents there would number about 4,OOO,-
900.
The Chinese children on these Is
lands number. according to the census
OF 1896. 1924. and exceed by 1872 the
total number OF American, British and
German children.
These comparisons enable us to real
lie the important part this race must
take in the local affairs of the Islands
in the future. What that part shall be
is now not capable Of estimation. That
it will be serious, these figures clearly
declare. Even II a majority OF the
adults should return to China, there
are now enough OF the native born in
the country to more than hold their
own against the Anglo Saxons, unless
there is radical change Of conditions.
The Americans have dominated
the country morally. commercially, and
to some extent politically. for the last
seventy years. The Mainland has been
nearer to US than any other country.

OUR TIP.

1t may satisfy the curiosity of many
II we state that the tip to the Ad.
vertiser regarding the confirmation OF
Mr. Dole in Office came directly from
Washington, and not through any Off.
cial sources here. The z. P.s evidently
have not yet laid their pipes to the
national capital.
There does not appear to be any valid
reason for uncanny secrecy in refusing
to announce in advance to the SOW
ereign people here the nature of Mr..
McKinley's appointments. 1t has only
resulted in a very annoying misap-
prehension on the part of the foreign
correspondents. who were led to be-
lieve, and to report in their correspon-
dence, forwarded by the last mail, that
Mr.. Dole had been replaced by Mr..
Sewall.

TWO FLAGS.

The ceremony of the Flag raising
Friday was dlgnlfied and most suit
able. To the Hawaiian born 1t was
pathetic. To the American 1t offered
the severe simplicity of democracy,
and, besides that, 1t was exhilarating.
The trade winds, the winds Of COM
merce in the tropics, claimed their
share, too, in the ceremony.
AS the last strain of Hawaii Ponoi
trembled out OF hearing, the wind
suddenly held itself back. The Ha-
waiian flag as 1t left the truck dropped
and folded, and descended lifeless and
quietly to the earth. The American
flag climbed slowly on its halyards
and just as 1t reached the truck, the
trade wind breaking from its airy
leash, caught It In its arms, and rolled
1t out to its full measure.

TERRITORIAL EXPANSION.

Some of our cOuntrymen have al
ready resolved to form public opinion
on the territorial expansion policy
They have called conference, in Chi
cago, of able-bodied statesmen to
consider the future foreign policy OF
the United States" Men in favor, as
well as men opposed to expansion, are
invited to attend it. and distribute
light on the subject. Some OF the con-
sentative papers declare that the dis.
cussion of the question is premature
any may embarrass the President.
But these conservatives seem to for.
get that the President is only the agent
Of the people, put in Office to do their
will. Indeed, now that we are a part
OF the people, we should insist on hav.
ing our say in the matter, and might
send some delegates to the convention
1t is an opportunity for some one to
make a record.
Looking at the matter from only a
local, not a national standpoint, and
justly taking our own self interests
into consideration, we may come to
the conclusion, now that we are in the
fold, that territorial expansion may be
carried too far. The addition OF Phil
ippine soil to our country may be a
national benefit, but its vast sugar
producing resources, and cheap labor,
may injure our own sugar interests.
II this convention is composed of
really representative men, and the de-
bates in 1t catch the ears OF the public
1t may be OF the greatest service in in
forming the public mind. There can
be no better way OF educating the peo-
pie than by public conference of men
who are not under penal contracts
with the machine" There is no more
hopeful sign OF higher and better
thought than this plan OF the Chicago
Civic Federation to bring this serious
matter up for impartial discussion, in
stead Of leaving 1t to the parties to
work into platforms.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1898-08-16

There has been an absolute freedom OF
immigration. Our capital has largely
developed the great sugar industry. Al
though the Chinese have been more or
less restricted in their emigration to
the Islands, and the males have been
largely in excess over females, their
children now outnumber the children
Of American parents by 1414.
These 1894 children, and the other
Chinese children native born will in
due time become citizens, by the
authority OF the Federal Constitution.
No one questions for moment, but
rather fears, the industrial or CONNER
cial ability Of these people.
As value producers on their own ac-
count, and not as laborers on the sugar
plantations, they stand next to the
sugar producers. Aside from the sugar
crop. a study Of the customs statistics
indicates that they are not far from
the total OF all other nationalities here,
including Americans, British, Germans,
Japanese and Hawaiians, in the
amount and value OF their exports.
These are the simple facts. The
bearing Of these facts upon the future
OF the Islands Is another matter In
what way the Anglo-SaXon may arrest
by legitimate means this rapid devel-
Opment. is now one Of the questions
before us. The rough and simple meth
Cd of the Mainland Is simply to ex-
clude them. But If there is an entire
exclusion in the future, what steps
will be taken to match their compare
lively rapid increase in the present?
VIII the American laborer be willing
to compete with the Chinaman in Gull
tivating the soil? VIII he be willing
to compete, when the japanese rein
force the Chinese as laborers on the
soil?
We ask tentative questions and do
not for moment admit that II cannot
be done. But how is it to be done? .
The supreme question of the stabil-
ity of government is now settled. For
this we fervently offer the TIE Deum.
We may now take up these questions
OF the social future.
Annexation will no more make us
socially an American population than
the annexation OF Louisiana made New
Orleans an Anglo-Saxon city. The
effect Of annexation is simply to give
all the social forces free play to work
out their own destiny, under Republic
can forms.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1898-08-16
THE ATTORNEY. GENERAL.

We presume there will be some de-
lay, on the part of President McKin-
ley in accepting Attorney-Genera
Smiths resignation. Prominent men in
Washington,-near to the President
will, we predict. urge its recall.
We hope that 1t will be accepted and
his successor quickly appointed.
We have known since '93 that Mr..
Smith desired to retain Office only until
annexation took place. AS he was one
of the leading men In making the
overthrow" he could not in justice
to others whether they were grateful
or not was of no consequence, aban-
don the contract for securing better
government until 1t was secured We
also knew that the income from Office
was not the slightest inducement for
retaining IL.
A true estimate of Mr.. Smiths SER
vices cannot be made, without seeming
to disparage the services of his col
leagues in the Government. lie first
of all would resent any comparison, or
even suggestion of comparison. But his
Offices carried with them an unusual.
an extraordinary burden of labor and
responsibility of which the public
knows little or nothing.
AS the legal advisor of all the depart
ments and bureaus, as the head of the
police force, as the advisor of every
sheriff and deputy sheriff and lesser
magistrate in the group, as the Pre-
sident of the Board OF Health, and
the constant and active supervisor of
the leper settlement, as the legal axle
on which the larger part of the
machinery of administration turned. he
was burdened with duties which would
have crushed or dismayed less robust
and vigilant man. He was the mark
for every man who hoped to knife the
Government. Every thief and rascal
inquired about his health before he be-
gan to cheat"
The towards, the disgruntled, the dis
appointed, selected him for special
hatred. On the whole we "love him
for some of the enemies he made" The
necessities of the case made him like
the farmer who in clearing land, and
stirs up the sleeping |
snakes and the vicious humble bees. |
The natives never had, never will |
have better friend. In the coming |
years. If he lives, he will remain one
of the few to whom they will appeal
for counsel and advice when suffering |
from their own follies, and when the
men who foollshly advise them have
dropped out.
We have seriously differed from him,
in many matters. but recognize the |
fact that in the trying days from '9S
to the present hour. no suggestion ever
came from him, which indicated that |
he desired to modify his Official action
in order to win popularity, even when
slight and harmless notifications
might secure 1t.
He is entitled to an honorable re-
tirement.
