once that whether or not Mr.. Milton was

purloined the $40, 600, and this girl had
been the instrument in his hands. He
had hypnotized her and used her as his

THE JAPANESE AFFAIR.

Regarding the dispute about Jap
anese immigration, we frankly admit
that there are two sides TO it. The
case, however, involves SO many dis
tinct points, as the lawyers say, it
would be difficult TO present it in the
brief form that would tempt the lay
man to read it, The public viii wait
for the results of arbitration or settle
nent, just as it accepts the verdict of
a jury.
Aside from the general policy OF ad-
hitting or excluding the Japanese, al
though we have opposed their admis-
sion, we formed the opinion, after
much careful consideration Of the facts
and the law, at the time the immi-
grants were refused admittance, that
our Government was in error about it,
and that it would be beaten in the end
before any international tribunal. We
repeated our opinion in this paper that
our Government and the community
that proudly endorsed it's action might
be as much disappointed before an
Arbitrator, as the United States We're
disappointed in the arbitration regard
ing the Boring sea. We also believed,
having personally examined the whole
subject of immigration in Japan, dur
ing the year 1895, that it was perfect
~ easy to stop the Japanese 'inva-
sion" without causing any suffering
or distress to any human being.
Our statement that the immigrants
were treated cruelty and unjustly, is
only an opinion. The Arbitrator viii
in due time, say whether We are cor
rect or not. If he decides that the Jap
anese claim is unfounded we must
take the usual medicine.
In this matter the Advertiser has
kept in mind that the Japanese out
numbered, in males, all of the othe1
races here, and that their children
born here, within a few years, vastl!
outnumbered the Anglo-Saxon child
rem born here, and that it was thu
height OF folly to stir up racial hat
red as it has been studiously done.
But the final settlement of the cas-
will show whether our construction o
the law was or was not, good. Ant
we can frankly say that it woult
greatly please us to be told on fina
authority that we are in the wrong.
There is no pleasure or satisfaction
in declaring that our own officials ar
in error.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1898-07-22

conflicting rumors about it, has been
at last declared TO be strict and just.
The German side of the story about
interference has not been received.
Any aid given TO the Spaniards, by
depressing the insurgents in Subig bay,
would be a direct act of war upon the
United States. The German officers
are carefully educated in the princi-
pies and practice Of international law,
much more so than the war CORE
spondents. Moreover they have as
little respect for the morals and hu-
manity of the insurgents as our own
men have. 1t will probably appear
that the action Of the German vessel
was most praiseworthy, and properly
prevented a butchery. When the Am
erican warship appeared, the German
vessel withdrew and passed the affair
over 10 Admiral Dewey.

THE RESPONSES.

The gift made to the Boys in Blue
by the Advertiser, in sending, without
charge, to the home of every soldier
on the Mainland, copies of the papers
containing accounts of the receptions
given him by our citizens, continues
to bring by mail many and warm ack-
nowledgments from relatives and
friends.
Many of the writer's, in spite of the
abundant literature on the Mainland,
regarding these Islands, are evidently
surprised at our civilized condition.
It became fixed in the minds Of the
people, many years ago, that the heath
en- were in large majority here, while
the white men came out silently at
night, and picked up some food, and
then retired behind palisades, and
watched through loop holes. Even the
modest Advertiser appears to have
been a revelation to many OF them.
The late American Minister here, Mr..
Willis. said that, after all his reading
on the subject, before arriving mere
he had pictured to himself the city OF
Honolulu, as a small village scattered
along the beach.
The Kansas City Star prints three
columns in fine type of extracts from
the Advertiser, not only the detailed
accounts of the receptions, but the
editorial matter. other papers do the
same thing. Our enemies in Congress
have put us before the people as
dreadfully mixed lot of freaks, anc
beach-combers. But newspaper IRON
these parts, quite like the home arti
Gle. is conclusive evidence of higf
order of civilization.
We have churches, tramways, sa'
looms, and jail in full working order

THE JOINT RESOLUTION.

The Joint resolution provides that
"all the civil, judicial and military
powers exercised by the officers of the
present existing Government in said
Islands shall be vested in such person
or persons as the President of the
United States shall direct
AS the Islands were annexed on the
eth of this month, that is, thirteen
DAYS ago, and the President has made
no direction so far, the Govern
ment. strictly speaking, is operating
very much like a steam engine with
the steam cut off.
If the Commissions which will ar
rive in due time, are dated July 1th
any acts done by those receiving Com
missions will be valid from that date,
even if the Commissions were not IN
Dossession. The resolution does not
recognize our Constitution, but does
recognize and keeps in force our NUM-
cipal laws, not inconsistent with the
Federal Constitution.
There may arise some light embar-
rassment, hereafter, owing to the alb
sence of a clause in the joint resolution
providing for the hiatus, or interval
of time mentioned above. Possibly the
force of the municipal laws may cure
any defects.
It would have been an act of gross
indignity to our lawyers, if the joint
resolution had been drawn without q
flaw in it. AS the profession thrives
mainly. like the other two professions
on the imperfections of man, Congress
could not do otherwise than watch that
the little legal sparrows did not fall
to the ground.
The resolution provides that the
Office of President of Hawaii shall be
held by a person appointed by Presi-
dent Mckinley. But the President OF
Hawaii. under our Constitution, has
mowers which are inconsistent with a
territorial form of government. 1t will
probably he held that the appointee
shall exercise, until Congress enacts
suitable laws, only powers which are
consistent with the Constitution of the
United States.
The provisions of the resolution are
necessarily vague. But some way will
he found to carry on the Government
without making any serious trouble.
