THE SPANISH POSITION.

Important Comment BY the omoial Orsss

MADRID, April 2.-The most impor.
tant comment on the situation is that
Of the ministerial journal, Ell Liberal,
which may be looked upoc as un.
coubtedly rejecting the position Of the
Spanish. government. The paper says:
"Wo have done all we can to remove
. pretext for rupture. II President
Mckinley refuses our concessions we,
with quiet conscience, will await
any trials which may come.
aud defend our honor and our
rights. The entire nation supports
the government. This was the mean.
ing Of Thursday evenings enthusiasm.
Rich and poor are working together.
No one asks whether the sum collected
goes for warships. It suffices to know
that it will be employed to rebut any
foreign pressure. Spain must no longer
live under the continued menace and
Of the past three years. There
must be no more debating or haggling.
Even rupture is preferable. Interven.
ton is de facto even now. We desire
and appeal for peace, but the limit Of
our long suffering is at an end. We
will not be, the aggressors but will de.
fend our rights with our traditional

1t is not claimed that its use is injur-

TO the staple sugar trade.
Glucose is the most serious rival OF
sugar at present, now comes sac
charine.
After the Creator had breathed into
man the breath of life, He filled him up
with most inordinate love for sugar
and alcohol. Naturally enough, the
supply was not lost sight of. 1t was
evidently intended that sugar should
be cheap. But proper respect has not
been paid to our wishes in the matter.
There is no sufficient reason for letting
loose on the world lot of inventors
who may injure our great industry by
new discoveries. Such persons should
be choked off and held up to the scorn
of mankind. Why cannot DR.. Maxwell

love, and therefore, the consumption of

TAHITI.

The Bulletin very properly corrects
the statement made several days ago,
in this paper, regarding the annexa-
ton of Tahiti to France. The item was
taken by us from reputable periodi-
cal. Tahiti was annexed to France on
June 20, 1880, while under the reign of
King Pomare V. The protectorate
which had previously existed, was es-
tablished in 1912, by Admiral Du Petit
Thomas. He was the Admiralwho visit
ed these Islands in 1897, and insisted ON
the protection of the Catholics. He
made treaty, in the name of King
Louis Philippe of France, with the Ha-
waiian Government, which protected"
Frenchmen. 1t was obtained by threats
of severe measures
The French now own in the Pacific,
New Caledonia, loyalty Islands, the
Marquesas, Clipperton Island, Tahiti,
Morea and adjacent islands Tabuaiu,
Vivateo, Oparo, Tuamotu Archipelago
and Jambier Island The total popula-
ton of all these islands is S1,S22.

Friend means merely to gener-
alize and state a proposition,
for instance: A bad man likes
bad things. Make him good
and he likes good things. A
bad dog bites. "Make" him a
cherub and he won't bite. A
monkey steals. make him a
Quaker and he won't. The
trouble lies in the "making."
We have been in the business
of making our neighbOrs the
Hawaiians good for three
fOurths of a century, and his ra-
cial, as well as our own racial
instincts have not been thought
of. The Friends idea seems to
be to give the races chlOroform,
pull out the instincts by the
roots, and then declare that all
races are assimilated.

A CORRECTION OF A CORRECTION
OF A CORRECTION

The statement of fact made by the
Advertiser regarding the annexation
of Tahiti was very properly corrected
by the Bulletin. The Advertiser
thereafter stated that the French Ad-
miral who established the protector
ate was Du Petit Thomas lin editorial
manuscript Thouars). The Bulletin in
its issue of yesterday corrected us by
stating, that the name was not
Thomas but "Phouars." We now
correct the Bulletin by stating, that
the name is not 'Phouars,' but
'7Thouars." 1t is not much of a matter
to make fuss about, but Admiral
Thouars made dreadful fuss here in
1887, and we are all glad to make a
fuss about his name, which we do
not regard as the most conspicuous
in French history.
