proceedings, with which counter
charges Of misconduct were made.
Unsavory details OF their conjugal life
were also handled about. The mar

has since received assistance from her
friends. She was last heard OF In May
Of the present year, when she broke

TERRITORIAL EXPANSION.

Some of our countrymen have al
ready resolved to form public opinion
on the territorial expansion policy.
They have called a conference, in Chi
cago, of 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
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
national benefit, but it's vast sugar
producing resources, and cheap labor,
may injure our own sugar interests.
If this convention is composed of
really representative men, and the de-
bates in it catch the ears Of the public,
it 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 it to the parties to
work into platforms.

SICK TROOPS IN CUBA.

The brave, but Misunderstanding let
tiers of Col. Roosevelt and other COM
manders at Santiago present only an
other phase of the hell" of which war
is typical.
If 80 per cent of those splendid
troops, and the most of them regulars,
are untitled for duty by fevers and eX-
haustion, it is only evidence that war
is not, after all, such a desirable fac
tor in human progress.
The presence of the troops in San
tiago. at a season of the year when
everyone familiar with Cuba, as it now
is, said without hesitation it would only
result i'll general sickness and loss of
life, is due partially to the impatience
of our people, who wanted to see some
thing done, just as soon as war was
declared. The Administration also
wanted to do something, but it knew
the dangerous conditions. 1t preferred
to take the risks of loss by disease
than allow the miserable people of
Cuba to suffer.
With practical sense the difficulty is
met by sending Skaters army at once
to Montauk Point, where it may re
cuperate.

A LOST OPPORTUNITY.

The Makaainana Of August Sth, re-
ports a recent speech delivered by Ii
liuokalani to the natives. The trans
Iation is this:
THE Queen generally praised the
people for the aloha they had shown
to her. She knew they had come from
many places and long distances to meet
her, and thank her for what she had
done for them. She praised their
steadfast fidelity to her. She had, on
her part, faithfully worked and lab
ored in every possible way for them.
Before they dispersed she desired to
ask them to keep the peace on her re-
turn home; and to bend their knees
before the altar of the Almighty and
ask him to keep watch over all the
people, and over Hawaii. They must
continue to hope that in time TO come
that the best would happen"
There are rumors that she encour-
aged them to believe that her own
restoration was at hand. But these
rumors can not be verified, while the
language quoted is confirmed.
1t does not signify submission on
her part, and we presume there is no
submission in her nature.
She has now cast away the best and
final opportunity to be of service to the
natives. Had she grasped the situa-
ton, or had she been wisely advised
she would have told the natives.that it
was impossible to prevent the posses
sion of the Islands by the United
States; that it was of the first import
ance for them to appeal to, and trust
in the generosity of the great Govern
ment that was above them; that they
had good reason for knowing that
there were still many influential peO-
pie who had an abiding aloha for
them, and were doing much to aid them
in the education of their children;
that it was fortunate that they now
had such friends, when people from all
parts of the world were crowding- in
upon them, because there were won
derful changes in the nations lying on
the Pacific, and the natives had really
made no efforts to keep the country to
themselves. She might have told them
that when the American colonies re-
belled against the British King, very
many of the wisest and most patriotic
men in the colonies refused at first to
give up their allegiance to the British
King, but when they saw that the
change would take place they consent
ed, in sadness, to change their alleg
lance.
LiliuokaIani has missed a great OPP
portunity for making herself guide
to the people in their days of perpleX-
ity and sorrow.
None the less will the white friends
of the natives continue to aid them,
and see that'they are protected by laws
even if they cannot prevent their de-
cline and extinction as a race.

Montauk Point, the eastern extrem-
ity of Long Island, opens on the sea,
and those of us who have fished all
around it, at this season of the year,
know what strong, salty, healthy
breezes from the ocean sweep over it.
Near to it is the very old town of Sag
HarbOr in which now reside many Of
the descendants of the whalemen, who
made fortunes in the Arctic, and con-
stantly visited this port for supplies.
Not many years ago, a visitor in that
town would be surprised to find that
every man he met on the street had
been in Honolulu. A short distance
from Montauk Point is Gardeners Is
land, which was visited by Capt. Kidd,
and the descendant of the owner of the
Island, now residing in Washington
city, has piece of cloth of gold, which
Capt. Kidd gave in exchange for pro-
visions.
