JAMES |. DOWSETT.

The death of James |. Dowsett
breaks yet another link in the chain
which binds Hawaii's present with
Hawaii's past. Progressive in idea,
and well up to the times, as Mr. Dow
sett was, he was essentially of a type
which has nearly passed away. Look
ing back over the past years, how
many of his contemporaries one can
remember who have preceded him to
the silent home of humanity. They
were great race, the early pioneers
on these Islands, and though Mr..
Dowett was born here, he belonged to
the pioneers of Hawaii, and was the
contemporary of the founders of mod
ern Hawaii--was personally acquaint.
ed with the kings and chiefs, and in
an transformations way, had much in.
fluence, both in court and government
circles.
Among the Hawaiians "Kimo Pele
kane" or Jim. the Brtisher. as he
was named, was thoroughly loved ano
trusted. He understood the native
characteristics as few foreigners have
ever understood them, and probably
as no foreigner does at the present
time. He could thoroughly enter into
their life and understand how the Ha
waiians regarded questions from hi,
own point of view.
As a man Mr.. Dowsett has Away!
stood among those who, being success
full in business enterprise, earned tina
success by upright dealing. AS a heaC
of a family he was ever an indulgen
father and "a kind husband. AS
friend, he was lavish of hospitalit,
and ever open-handed.
He will be missed by many. Hi
kindly yet merry eye has looked it
last upon the sun-lit wales of the Is
lands he loved so well, but his memor
will live long in the hearts of thos
who knew him and who loved him.

WORTH THINKING OF.

Lord Salisbury's speech before the
Primrose League in the early part of
May, followed by Joseph Chamber
lain's speech at Birmingham, has
caused a great deal of comment both
in the United States and on the Con-
tinent of Europe. Undoubtedly the
remarks of both the British statesmen
We're weighty and calculated to call
forth attention.
Mr.. Chamberlain's speech distinct
ly pointed to an alliance or under
standing between the United States
and Great Britain and the Colonies, OF
a union of all the English speaking
countries. He said that it was the
duty of British people to "draw all
parts of the Empire into close unity
and next to maintain the bonds OF
permanent unity with their kinsmer
across the Atlantic"
There" he said, sis powerful anG
generous nation speaking our Ian
guage, bred of our race, and having
interests identical with ours. / would
go so far as to say that, terrible as
war may be, even war itself he cheap
ly purchased if, in great and noble
cause, the Stars and Stripes and the
Union Jack should wave together ov
er an Anglo-Saxon alliance. 1t i:

What has become of the Peru? All
kinds of. theories. are afoat. One is
that there is sickness aboard and that
she has passed on without touching
here. 1t is well known that the
plague has been virulent and that
this year it has attacked the white
population, indeedf the government
here has serious thoughts of inter-
rupting immigration from the East
for three or four months. Another
theory is that she has been telegraph
ed for to proceed direct to San Fran
cisco, where she is wanted as troop
ship, and that to stop here on her
way over might cause the delay Of
two or three days, and time is precious
in forwarding troops to Admiral
Dewey. Yet another is based on the
idea that the Spanish government
has issued letters of marque, and
that some of the South American Re-
publics have awaited themselves of the
ShahSe VI uoihS 81 NIUE Plldlicdi puSl-
ness under the aegis of the mother
country. One or two such vessels
might do good deal of mischief in
this Ocean before they could be run
down and destroyed. Whatever has
happened, there is much anxiety
among people here. The probability
is that when we learn the cause of the
delay, the explanation will be as sim
pie and natural as possible.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1898-06-15

Lord Salsbury's policy that at the
present time these two great nations
understand each others better than
they ever have done, since, over a cen
fury ago, they were separated by ,ue
blunder of British government"
These are ringing words, but they
are more than mere words. more than
the rrothy rhetoric of glib orator,
they announced to Europe that in the
present war. If the Continental states
wished to form coalition against the
United States in favor of Spain. the
United States would have strong
friend and hacker on that side of the
Atlantic. Moreover, these words re-
fer not only to possible interference of
the Latin powers now, but to what
may occur when the war is over and
Spain sues for peace. The Latin pow
ers will doubtless attempt to inter-
pose. and though the United States is
quite capable of sustaining its own
rights. the fact that she has Great
Britain's Friendship will, as the Chi
cago Times-Herald says, make it all
the easier to establish peace with
Spain on our own terms"
But Lord Salisbury's remarks out
lined the position of the nations of
the world with almost the same frank
ness as the Emperor Nicholas celc-
| brated phrase of the 'sick man" and
his goods, applied to Turkey. He
/ said you may roughly divide the
nations of the world as the living and
the dying" And then he proceeded TO
show the increasing power of the
Giving" their commerce, their manu-
features. their means of communica-
ton and transit, their modern weap-
their political freedom. These he
contrasted with the. states in which
INSTRUMENTATION and decay were adj
vancing almost as fast as concentra.
ton and increasing power are advanc
ing in the living nations that stand
opposite to them" Not only do these
states grow weaker and poorer, but
their administrations are corrupt
and the corruption spreads through
out all official life. They are unpro
vided with leading men. Some g
these dying nations are Christian anJ
some are not. The living natiors. il,
commended will gradually encroacl
on the territory of the dying, and TIL
seeds and causes of conflict among
civilized nations would speedily disap
pear.
Though no particular nations wer
mentioned, it is not difficult for any
one who reads and thinks, to Sc
what ones were meant. The meta
phor of living and dying was a bolt
. one, and it undoubtedly fits the case
but it required a statesman of &C
i, knowledged ability to make it. Tn
, European journals naturally do no
like it. In the United States it ha
been received well, though there ar
, some sectional papers which it O
course does not please. Whatever ma
!, be the mental attitude of the critic
however, the words are weight
enough to have set half world think
, ing very deeply.

CHARLES EMORY SMITH
Addressed Large Crowd at Topeka
Kansas.

Topeka, Kas., October 7.-Postmaster-
General Smith arrived today from omaha
and addressed a large crowd at Hamilton
hall in the evening. His most striking Ut
terance was on the tariff question. He
said:
at has been contended that the Ameri-
can protective policy shut us up within our
selves and prevented foreign commercial
intercourse. The truth Is the exact re-
verse; The history of the country during
the past four administrations shows that
whenever this policy has been most fully
inoperation we have had the largest meas
ure of foreign trade, and until 1t has been
threatened or directly attacked our foreign
expenses have declined.
1.-THE most decisive of all illustrations
has come with the present re-establishment
of republican rule and with the action of
the Mckinley administration. We have
reached the magnificent position absolute
ly unrivalled among nations where our ex-
ports are double our imports. We sell
twice as much as we buy. This Is the mag
niicent vindjcation of the American pol
icy-that it has built up our own indus
tries until we are supreme in our own field
and have established them with such
strength and facilities and equipment that
they can now successfully compete all over
the world"
