FLAG DAY CEREMONY.

The Indignation of many persons re-
garding the arrangement Of the cere-
monies connected with the visible
transfer Of the sovereignty of the ISL
ands, on Friday, requires that some
explanation be made.
1t is this, we understand, although
we have no official knowledge on the
matter:
The Cabinet al no time, and this only
is positive information, previous to
the arrival Of Admiral Miller, made
any promises directly or indirectly re-
garding the form of the ceremonies.
1t could not. The taking of possession
OF the Islands is an affair Of the Unit
ed States Government, to be executed
in it's own way, and by its own officers,
and not by the officers of our Govern
ment
On the arrival Of the Admiral, his
instructions. and the instructions to
Minister Sewau undoubtedly directed
how the transfer should be made. The
Admiral and the Minister being in the
habit Of obeying orders, have under
taken to execute these instructions.
We do not know what they are. What
ever is done on Friday. will be done,
we assume, in accordance with these
instructions.
The arrangements may not suit US,
but if they are the Presidents orders
they must be obeyed. He may not have
taken the same view of the proper
form of the ceremonies that we do
He may have regarded the transfer as
a simple, brief, dignified affair which
should not be attended with any ella
borate ceremonial not necessary or in
his opinion, appropriate.
Our Government, the Islands beine
already annexed, is subject to the Gov
eminent of the United States, and nat
urally. has no authority in the matter
and could make no binding promises
about it, as any sensible person may
readily understand.
We would expect that any ceremony
not strictly connected with the act O.
transfer might lay all the officials oper
to censure by the Government a

are at liberty to celebrate the event

THE RETAIL TRADE.

One of the largest grocery houses
in San Francisco declared, some
months ago, that whenever annexation
took place. it would establish branch
store in Honolulu, and sell it's articles
at San Francisco prices only. 1t is also
said that other mercantile houses will
take the same course.
What Will take place is now a mere
matter of speculation. 1t is probable
that there will be some radical changes
as soon as the laws governing this ter
ritory are passed by Congress.
Heretofore it has been difficult and
practically impossible for residents to
deal generally with the retail mer-
chants of San Francisco, or of other
cities. The expense of invoices, the
engagement of freights, and necessity
of obtaining permits here, the valua-
ton of articles imported even through
the postofice, have caused annoyance,
loss of time and expense
Under the new conditions, articles
will be sent from the Mainland to this
place with the same care, as they are
sent from San Francisco to Oakland.
No invoices that must be sworn to, no
valuations whatever, no permits to
land, Will be needed. Articles will also
be brought through the mails without
examination. We learn that Wells,
Fargo & Co. will soon establish a
branch of their express concern here.
Besides this, local expresses will be
started. which will compete with the
larger express company, if its charges
are excessive.
1t is possible that one or more of
the department stores may establish
branches here. These stores, purchas-
ing at reduced prices great quantities
of goods, will sell at close profits here,
The day of the drummer" has come.
We have now the military drummer.
He will be followed by the commercial
drummer. Our local laws which dis
criminate against foreign agents of
mercantile houses, are even now I'M
constitutional, under many decisions
of the Supreme Court of the United
States, as such local laws interfere
with the rights of citizens of other
States. Besides this Congress will not
pass any law limiting the freedom of
trade. The drummer will seek the
Asiatic trade, and, so far as he can
do so, will put the Asiatic merchants,
with good credit, on a par with the
merchants here in the markets of the
Mainland.
1t does not follow that our local
merchants will be driven out of trade.
They will be forced to meet sharp
competition, and they should be able
tn meet it, No doubt they will do
so. 1t Will be the survival of the fit
test.

FEAR.

Chas. \. Dana, in his "Reminiscences
of the Civil War, writes that, as As
sistant Secretary of War, he visited
General Sheridan, and asked him this
question:
But are you never afraid?" If I
was, 1 would not be ashamed Of it,"
he said. IF I should follow my natur-
al impulse ! should run away always.
at the beginning of danger; the men
who say they are never afraid in a
battle do not tell the truth"

Spanish Call to Arms

Chambers Journal says that one OF
the odd features of life in Madrid for
many months past has been the dis
tribution of leaflets in all parts of the
town, inviting men TO volunteer for
Cuba. The practice was licensed in
January, 1896. On the surface, the in
ducements to serve seem fair. Wheth-

RECRUITING THE ARMY.

Recruiting for the purpose Of filing
up the regiments under the second call
for $4,000 men is proceedingly slowly
in the States. Only 27,519 men had
enlisted towards making up the num-
bered required of 1856, on July 14th.
This is rather remarkable, when the
enormous population is considered.
Men prefer the new organizations to
the regiments already in the field, into
which they must enter as strangers.
The volunteers regiments in the ser
vice are losing scores of young men,
who enlisted while under age, and
therefore cannot be held to service.
The enlistment of minors is an old
trick, practiced during the Civil War.
1t is done by men who expect to OBJ
tain commissions and the pay of Off
GERS, as soon as they have enlisted the
required number Of men. The com
missions are obtained, the pay begins,
and then the minors are discharged by
the superior officers or the Courts.
These experiences are teaching the
people that if we are to be a warHke
people, the volunteer system must be
largely modified and the method OF
putting an army in the field must be
| put on a business basis.

greatly reduced, and that in every
period when Republican admins
tration has succeeded a Democratic
administration there was an immedi-
ate and important increase. In 1892,
for example, we find that Harrison's
administration displayed balance
of trade of S2o2, $500 in our fav-
or, while in the very next year, un-
der President Cleveland, the balance
was S1S,735ioo9 against us. Com
parison of each of the Democratic
administrations with the Republican
administrations which preceded and
followed it shows a Democratic fall
ing off and Republican gain in
trade balances, and these statistics
speak louder and truer than all the
Overmyers on earth.

Kinley's greatness as are the people

Every where the President went, he
was received with the greatest res

His speeches to the vast crowds of
southern men were the embodiment
of wisdom, patriotism and simplicity.
They will do much towards remov-

himself upon the people wherever he
goes.

HE new tariff law for Cuba W

The new tariff law for Cuba which
takes effect Jan. Ist will work a great
benefit to the citizens of that coun-
try. The average reduction in their
tariff is about 90 per cent. Spanish
goods have always been avored in
the application of Spanish tariffs, so
they get caught a little harder under
the American system, The Ameri-
can tariff is lower in many instances
than has been charged on Spanish
goods of the same kind. Many lines
of manufactured goods, such as i'm
plements and machinery for devel-
oping their agricultural resources,
are admitted practically free. A
great reduction in the export duty
On tobacco has been made, while
the import duty on tobacco has
been materially increased, 1t seems
there has been a systematic business
done in the line of shipping cheap
grades of tobacco into the island
and then exporting them as pure
Havana leaf. This change in the
tariff is calculated to check that kind
of business.
The tariff schedule as adopted is
expected to raise sufficient revenue
to pay all the expenses of govern
ing the island, and at the same time
encourage and stimulate manufac-
turing and agricultural enterprises
on the island. 1t is thought the
American tariff can be collected
much more economically and with
so much less stealing, that materi-
ally less rate will yield equally as
much money to the government.

the assumed fact that Speaker Reed
would oppose the expansion policies

PEELED by recent developments. Mr..
Reed was opposed to the war, as
was Mckinley, until every honorable
means was exhausted to prevent it,
but when war became inevitable he
stood by the administration in its
efforts to bring it to a speedy and
happy termination, and now favors
the ratification of the peace treaty.

The Special Session.

Governor Leedy, in calling ;
special session of the Kansas legis
lature just on the eve of the expira
ton of his term of office and the
convening of the new legislature, i:
pandering to the vicious and Doodle
elements of his party, of which he
seems to be the chief. 1t is simply
an effort to extort Doodle and brides
from some of our largest corpora
tons, or an effort to foist on Kan
sas a line of legislation that the
people, by their recent vote, said
they did not want. The move is
obnoxious to the right-minded peo-
pie of all classes, and unpopular
with the reasonable members of the
fusion party itself.
At a large meeting of farmers
last week in Franklin county. CON-
posed of all political parties, they
unanimously passed resolutions con-
demning in the strongest terms
Governor Leedy for calling the SEES
sion.
An effort will be made at this ses
sion to perpetuate in office num-
Der of Pop officials who are convict
ed by the evidence of their own
party of the rankest kind of immor-
ality, incompetency and indecency.
Such a high-handed piece of villainy
was never before attempted by any
Governor of the state, or of any
other state for that matter. This
effort to force upon the people a
line of legislation that they have
said by their votes they do not
want, and force upon the state set
of debauched officials that the peo-
pie have repudiated, would be
enough to send to hades at a 2:4o
gait party that had some vitality
and principle of honor; but with a
party that never had a we'll defined
political principle except to kick, it
will knock the last bit of sulphurous
breath out Of its putrid body and re-
lieve forever sunny Kansas of its
putrescent odors. 1t is but the last
expiring effort of Shiny, loathsome
serpent; after receiving its death
wound it strives with its last gasp to
fix its poisonous fangs into the hand
of its assailant.
However, though the intention of
Leedy and his immediate accom-
plices is evidently vicious, there
will surely be enough hoaor among
these men, Notwithstanding they
claim they have majority pledged
to abide by caucus decisions, to
thwart any very radical moves that
may be attempted.
Our judgment is that all that will
result from the meeting will be the
confirmation of a few officers and
the squandering of $50, 900 or $751;
900 and general row.
