The importatlons OF gold into the
United states i'm the year 1898 are by
far the largest i'm the history of the
country, and the expectations the
smallest i'm many years, while the pro-
duction of gold from our mines Will
prove the largest I'm many years, IL not
the largest in the history OF the coun-
try. The October Statement Of Inn
ports and Exports, just issued by the
Treasury Bureau of Statistics, shows
that the total imports OF gold In the
ten months ending October "a. 1898. are

so much as a sandwich to stay his
empty stomach.
We believe that the Surgeon Cen
eral was quite right in objecting to
the Red Cross and it's interference
with the routine of army admins
tration, and army transportation.
The rule he lays down is sound
one, when he declares that the Red
Cross or any other organization Of
fering voluntary aid should provide
their own transportation. The senti-
ment in favor of the Red Cross ap-
pears to be due in part to stories
told by those who could not distin
guisb between the army medical
men wearing the Red Cross badge
aud the obtrusive and sometimes
hystericsl young people who were
more Jealous than efficient.
Whatever mitigation there may
have been of suffering in individual
instances offered no sufficient COM
pensation for the mischief occasion
ed by the presence within army lines
of a class OF people who sought to
exercise quasi military authority
without being subject to military
control. Our army is too often made
the victim to this sort Of interfer-
ence, and would be far better off if
left to work out its own salvation
after its own methods. Philepthro-
pic humbug was to large extent
responsible for our interference
with the affairs OF Cuba and If it
could have had it's way it would
have made shipwreck of our military
operations.

AS our people are inundating the
Commissioners with a thousand and
one ideas for our destined cut and
dried form of government, we are
surprised that the Sons Of the Revo-
luton or some other kindred society
do not recommend the United States
to hold and colonise Cuba, the
Philippines, Ladrones and other
territories captured from Spain,
place Hawaii in the same bunch,
and invent system Of government
which would be in the nature of a
semi-independent, self-governing
colonial system with control, but no
representation, at Washington. Our
ex-Consuls. G General and Consuls
would make an excellent Colonial
Department and our Chief Executive
with strong veto power, should be
appointed by the President from
the Mainland.

The Army and Navy Journal says:

One OF the most cruel eeprivations
to which troops in Cuba we're COM
pelled to submit was in the loss of
their mail matter Shut off from
communication with home, and
those loving interchanges which
give to life such Joys as it brings,
they were left prey to a melan-
choly that was in itself a powerful
factor in the promotion of disease.
Our correspondent at the front, who
is an old officer in the Army and
has the soldiers keen sympathy for
comrades in distress, travelled thir-
teen miles to see if he could not ar
range some plan for conveying the
mail matter from Siboney to the
camps. He succeeded in procuring
transportation for it, when his plans
were interfered with by Miss Clara
Barton, who bore such credentials
from President Mckinley that Gen
eral Shafter, on the strength OF
them, had given her authority to
take transportation whenever she
found it and without regard to the
rights or convenience Of any one
else. And yet wounded captain OF

in the interest Of the young Hawai-
ians we pray that the men who to-
day lead the masses will cease the
crying over the split milk and
persuade their countrymen to join
together in making the best OF a
poor bargain and only consider the
political future OF our children.

HAWAII'S FUTURE.

"a house divided among itself
cannot stand" says the old proverb,
aud rarely has the wisdom OF the
old "ssw" been better demonstrated
than by the actions Of representa-
tive Hawaiians during the past
week. The true friends OF the Ha-
waians have urged them to accept
the new situation and realize that
it is their duty towards their children
and towards the coming generations
to use every effort and strain every
nerve in an earnest attempt to gain
liberal form OF government under
which the Hawaiians will enjoy
equal rights with every other citi.
zen Of the United States OF America.
But there are men who pretend to
be friends of the Hawaijans, who yet
tell them not to fall into line, to
scorn franchise, if a territorial
government should be granted the
country; who prate about the pos
sibility of the restoration OF the de-
funct monarchy and hold out hopes
that the Star Spangled Banner will
go down and the flag Of Hawaii
once more float over the Govern
ment of Hawaii nei.
And as it often happens the wish
is father to the thought, and the
average Hawaiian listens to the
enemy, disguised as friend, and
turns his back on those who warn
him fairly and honestly that the
fatal hour has come, when he must
strike out for himself, il he desires
to gain the respect OF the seventy
millions OF people who now calls
him fellow citizen, and to gain
voice in the political management
OF the affairs OF his small part OF the
Great Republic, the banner of which
now covers Hawaii.
The foolish speeches and silly
memorials adopted by meeting of
Hawaiiaus last night at Palace
Square under the auspices OF the
Hui Kalsisina show what fools 70
mortals be-" and that tue Office OF
fool-killer ought to be filed at once
Instead Of memorializing the Com
missioners in regard to the desires
OF the uawsiians under the new
form OF government, set OF resolu-
tions were passed asking for the
restoration Of the old form OF gov
srnment and Of the Queen. Since
1863 the Hawaiians have done very

lans we pray tDat the men VINO to-
day lead the masses will cease the
crying over the split milk and
persuade their countrymen to join
together in making the best OF a
poor bargain and only consider the
political future OF our children.
We respect the feelings which
make the Hawaiians cling to their
Aliis but we realize that sentiment
must give way to stern facts. The
elder generation of Hanoverians
still address the Duke OF Cumber-
land as King OF Hanover, although
the Kingdom Of Hanover ceased to
exist in 1866, but they use their
right of franchise under the Ger
man Empire. The King of Den
mark is still styled Duke Of Schle-
swig, Holstein and Lauenburg, but
he hasn't got any of the provinces
mentioned, and although a large
number of their inhabitants, call
old Christian their duke, they vote
every time when their present rulers
call an election and their Danish
delegates have the satisfaction of
taking their seats and with the Han
overians and the Alsatian and Polish
representatives vote every time
"agin" the German Government.
We want the Hawaiians to do all
in their power to obtain franchise
then elect their best men as repre-
sentatives and send them to Con-
gress if possible, and let them kick
every time "agin" the Washington
Government. 1t won't hurt the u.
S. Of America very much, but it will
do our Hawaiian friends and poll
ticians an enormous lot OF good.
But joking apart let the Hawai-.
ians understand that by continued
harping on restoration OF the
monarchy hostile feeling against
the race will be created among the
representatives of the American peo-
pie, and to the sorrow OF all we may
for decade to come, be treated as,
and classed with the Indians and
negroes. Drop sentiment and get
down to straight, common sense.
Queen Liliuokalani is publicly out
OF politics" as we understand the
word, and whenever the royal
lady has chance she impresses
upon the Hawaiians, with whom
she talks that the monarchy in
Hawaii is dead for good and
forever, and that the Ha-
waiian flag will never again float
over an independent country. Her
Majesty cannot come out with
public proclamation to that effect,
because she stands pledged to re-
main out of politics" but is the
duty Of all leaders to make their
people and constituents aware Of
the sentiments of their ali.
The Commissioners will under
stand why the Hawaiians did not
qualify and did not vote under the
Dole regime. The Cleveland ad-
ministration held out promises and
hopes, that the old order would be
restored, and the Hawaiians believed
to the last that the promises of the
representative of the great nation
would be fulfilled, and they would
consider themselves traitors il they
had abandoned their hopes and
sworn allegiance to a government
hostile TO them and, what they con.
sidered, their lawful Of government.
Gentlemen Of the Com mission, would
you not have done the same? The
Hawaiians are fit for self-govern-
ment and for equal rights with any
American, even If the older genera
tion cannot yet tear from their
hearts and their minds their loyalty
