4 GRANDFATHER TAX.

The large increase in the number
of grandfathers on the Islands, sug-
gests that they may very properly
become the objects of special taxation.
The last census report, carefully pre-
pared as it was, curiously omits any
enumeration of grandfathers.
A heavy tax on these venerable
persons would be an excellent sub
stitute for an income tax The OBJ
lection to the income tax is, that the
returns under it would be largely
fraudulent. In the case of a grand
father tax, it would be impossible to
make false returns. Take for instances
at large, two eminent citizens, the
Attorney General and Senator Bald
win. They are what the lawyers call
Joint and several" grandfathers. If
they, and another eminent citizen, Mr..
J. B. Atherton, were justly and lightly
taxed $1,000, upon each grandchild,
could they escape it by any false re-
turns? Would they not be proud to
pay it? Would not the mother of
every grandchild aid the assessor in
making a full and accurate return?
Nor, could grandfathers, when the
assessors came around, conceal their
grandchildren, as the native women
are in the habit of concealing their
dogs, when the assessor is in sight.
The opponents Of this method of
taxation will urge that it would en-
courage infanticide by the grand
fathers. An adequate reply to that
proposition is, that it would also en-
courage the hanging of the grand
fathers by the Marshal.
We are in an experimental stage.
Let us experiment. If such a tax can
not prudently be substituted for the
proposed income tax, it may take the
place of the poll tax. We shall expect
the most violent and persistent OppO-
sitfon to this proposition from the
Acknowledgement. We shall expect him
to do what is right.

THE PACIFIC
EDITOR.
THE NATIVE PASTORS.

The final annual business meeting
Of the ffty-two native Protestant pas
tors, with thirty delegates, took place
yesterday morning in the Kawaiahao
church. The proceedings were con-
Quoted with much dignity, and in adj
mirable order. The debates were brief,
and quite as much to the point as the
debates of haole meetings of the same
character
Events of the last few years have
created some strained relations be-
tween the native pastors. Time, the
cure of so many evils, has removed
much of this political friction, and
good feeling generally prevails among
the members.
1t was not to be expected-it would
be absurd to expect-that even the
native pastors, would, at the word of
command or entreaty, uproot their
racial habits and thoughts and cor
daily accept the new order of things.
Though behind these ffty-two pastors,
and their churches stand the mis-
sionaries' with their money, the native
pastors would be indeed superior to
all races, if they had taken in the
whole political situation. The racial
instincts and habits, for which they
must be held bIameless, still exist, but
are modified to the extent that the
sharp friction exists no longer.
Among these pastors we noticed
some noble, striking faces, faces that
would if presented have attracted at
tention in any part of the world. The
weak sides of these pastors are not
now under discussion.
We have heard, during the last forty
years, nearly every one of the great
AngIo-Saxon orators, both British and
American, and also several of the
European, but do not recall one, who
in grace of delivery and fleXibility of
voice was, or is, superior to the Rev.
Mr. Desha. He has the great gift, so
rare, of modulating his tones, and reg
ulating his infections in speech, as
it is done in song. 1t is largely
physical gift, one that cannot be OBJ
tanned by cultivation. In this case it
is an instance of the possibilities of
the mixed race Students need not
leave these Islands in order to find a
model of finished oratory, in voice, in
gesture, and in attitude.

BRITISH REFUSAL TO INTER
FERE.

ne London correspondent of the
New York Sun, who has the reputation
of being unusually accurate, recently
wrote to that paper: Had it not been
for the sharpness of the British Gov
eminent, the United States would
have been confronted, several days ago
with the difficult problem, whether to
withdraw Dewey ANONYMOUSLY from
the Philippines, or fight combined
Europe" AS the Sun is a very lingo
newspaper, and has always relished
the sport of twisting the Lions tail,
it may be presumed that there was
some basis for the statement. Two of
the members of Lord Salisbury's Cab
met were quoted as authorities for it..
Not many years ago the Confederate
archives were examined in Richmond,
Va, under the authority of Congress,
and a letter in 1863 from Confederate
Minister at Paris, Mr.. Mason, to Presi-
dent Jefferson Davis was found. In
it Mr.. Mason records his interview
with Napoleon III at Biarritz, and his
earnest appeal to the Emperor to break
the blockade of the Southern ports.
The Emperor finally said that if Eng
land would cooperate he would do so.
Mr.. Mason then states that he again
applied to the British Government to
break up the blockade on condition
that France would assist. But the Bri-
fish promptly refused, and Napoleon
was unwilling to act alone.
If this statement made by the cor
respondent of the n. Y. Sun is true,
it appears that Great Britain for the
second time, when the United States
was in a critical condition, owing TO a
neglect of keeping an adequate army
and navy, has come to the rescue.
This attitude of the British may be
only that of enlightened selfshness.
But true Americans are thankful that
they have enlightened selfshness just
now. The two countries are too deeply
engaged in trade rivalry to indulge in
much ELUSIVE love making. But they
are finding what rival railway COM
panies find out, after a cut rate war,
that pooling the issues brings the most
profit, and peace, and prosperity. The
unity of the two countries is merely
the best business proposition that can
be advanced.
