Even the Nation, N. Y, forgets for a
moment its naughty remarks about the
'tyrants and pirates" who now domin-
ate these Islands, and shows a warm
side towards benevolent despotism, in
the following statement:
There is not a somnolent line in
Mr.. Charles F. Lummis's The Awak-
ening of Nation: Mexico of Today
Mr.. Lummis has made it his task,
in this volume, to show how in Next
co the past score of years has projected
a vast new structure against the his
toric background. His record is a vivid
one of municipal adornment and sani-
tation, of educational and industrial
development, of political qualification
in period of unprecedented peace.
When one reads of a moral quickening
rivalling the material, and is given to
understand that the corrupt officials of
the recent past have disappeared ut
terly, one remembers his Memo re-
pente, and remains in scepticism
which may not be healthy, but is in
evitable. Certainly if Diaz has been
so astonishing a moral regeneration of
Mexico, as well as her pacificator, the
cry for such a benevolent tyranny as
his will become exceeding great and
bitter in other lands"
Perhaps the Council of State may be
able to devise a method, by which,
without violating the Constitution, a
contract may be made with some bene-
VIOLENT despot to govern these Islands
for ten years. and who will introduce

thoughtful lawyer in the House would
rise and say: Let us thank the man
who has done this protracted work. We
cannot consider it at this session, but
we should put it before the lawyers,
judges and the public, so that at the
next session it may be acted upon with
intelligence
Fortunately, the lay members of the
House refused to follow this attempt Of
lawyer to fling out of the window a
most valuable piece of work, and it was
sent to the Printing Committee.
We believe that if this draft of new
code of procedure, were submitted to
the absent practitioners in the advan-
ced States of America, they would pro-
nounce it superior, in several respects
to any existing code, and if it is finally
adopted, it will be credit to our juris-
prudence.

which come within the means Of the
native youths of both sexes, that will
place them beyond this severe and
grinding and increasing home compe-
tition? That such industries may be
created goes without saying. But it is
true, and it is a discouraging truth,
chat it requires rare ability and organ
izing power to make even a small in
dustry successful. The man who can
make a success of an industry, gener-
ally takes care of himself first And
if he is a true and rare Apostle of In
dustry, a missionary to the heather
who have never seen the light Of thor
ough training-he is usually handicap
ped by the men behind him. Here is
the rub. A genuine Apostle of Indus
try is usually a crank. He undertakes
new projects. Conservative men are
naturally not fond of new projects. 1t
means pioneering, and that is hard
work. One may preach hundred SER
mons easier than he can successfully
cultivate scientifically an acre of beans.
We can merely hint at the points
involved in securing the best use of
these great charitable gifts to the ma
tives. It is unfortunate that all dis
cussions of this kind which are gen
orally welcome in business affairs, are
quickly resented by those who admin
lister mixed secular and religious af-
fairs. 1t is the history of charitable
uses. A belief in Revelation, it is said,
saves the soul But the body which is
the temple of the soul, cannot be saved
by beliefs, but by hard and intelligent
work. 1t is only of late, that those who
charitable uses, see the SUI
preme value of providing for the body.

A NEW CODE.

Representative Achi introduced last
Friday bill in the House, which con-
tanned a new code of civil procedure.
Representative Robertson tried to kill
the bill on the ground that the present
Legislature had not sufficient time to
consider it. This attempt was defeated
and the matter was sent to the Print
ing Committee.
This proceeding shows the great need
of having several wise lawyers in the
House.
Laymen in England and America
were always growing about the techni-
| calities and intricacies of the law.
There was so much ground for COM
plant and the courts made the admin
istration of justice so scandalous, by
all sorts of absurd, trif1ing and illogical
decisions, that the people went into an
instruction about it. Mr.. David Dud-
| ley Field of New York City prepared
in 1850 new code of laws for the State
of New York, which regulated pro-
cedure in the courts. Gradually that
code has been adopted by all of the
progressive American States. The Aus
tralian colonies have followed it. Even
the English practice has been some
what modified by it.
The common sense of civilized men
revolts against the refnements of abb
surdities that existed in the old fran
chise. A owes B $500 which he refuses
to pay. B sues him. The case comes
before the court. The court asks B
'did you try to collect this money be-
fore you brought suit, and if you did
how did your" 81 went to AS house at
Waikiki and asked him for it." But, y
says the court, you have not stated in
your bill of complaint whether you
went to Waikiki to make the demand,
by King street or by Beretania street. y
what difference does that make?'
"All the difference in the world l dis
miss your bill. You will pay B his
costs"
The new codes endeavor to put aside
such nonsense, and simplify business.
Owing to the influence of tropical
climate on the white man, the pro-
cedure in the Hawaiian Courts has
not changed, and it reflects on the in
telligence Of the Bench, the Bar and
the people.
At last, however, new code is pre-
pared, with great labor. 1t presents
the best features of the American
codes. 1t gives to the Legislature with
out cost, exactly what is needed. Some
body has been patriotic and ambitious
enough to attempt to put our courts in
line with the American courts. ANY

AN INDUSTRY.

Referring to what we have said
above, concerning industries, we pre-
sent the matter of the vanilla bean Gull
tivation on these Islands, because il
Was suggested by Mr.. Young, the King
of Tahiti" who has made a fortune
out of it, as well as out of the pearl
fisheries. He visited these Islands about
year ago, and is known to be the pos
SCISSOR of one of the most valuable col
lections of Polynesian curiosities. He
informed us that many of the natives
Of Tahiti made comfortable livings out
of the cultivation and preparation of
this bean. Its market is in the great
cities of the world. He believed that it
nigh be made valuable industry here,
if the people were properly trained in
it's cultivation. The value of the beans
raised in Tahiti in the year 1896, was
100000
If 100000 were divided among the
heads of families in these Islands, so
that each received $40 per month from
it, about $50 families would receive
support from it, or in all, about 1000
people. The men, the heads of families.
could engage in other work, if neces-
sary, while the women and children
would easily do the light cultivation
and preparation of the article. If the
native girls were carefully trained for
several years, in this industry, they
would become, if they choose to be, in
dependent. 1t would open up employ
ment to the Portuguese women as we'll

They Gle" dreadfully. But statement
made by Mr.. Young is entitled to much
credit. Here then is a small industry,
which together with the flower and per-
fume industries, opens way for the
employment of female labor.
The development of such industries
should not be left to inexperienced per-
sons, who have had no training. The
very best brain and intelligence is re-
quired. Those who have ''the saving
of the Hawaiians" at heart, may take
a lesson from the admirable business
sense of the planters, who put themsel-
yes largely under the guidance of DR..
Maxwell as trained expert.
Whether or not the natives will re-
spond to such methods of training is
another question. The question now is
what is the best administration of a
splendid charitable gift? What is the
best administration of other generous
charitable gifts? If the natives will
take no advantage of industrial train
ing, there are many growing children
of other races who will

CUBA AND THE AMERICAN ELEC
TI0NS

President Mckinley is confronted
with, among other troubles, the situa-
ton of the Republican party. The
hatred Of Spain, and the desire to liber-
ate Cuba is so intense, among the mas
ses of people, that the Fall elections
may turn on the Cuban question. AL
though there is a large and strong
peace party, in the country, it is not
a peace at any price party, and cannot
hold its own against the masses, whose
blood is up. It is evident that the
President does not intend to make any
error. His purpose is a fixed one, the
freedom of Cuba But he knows that
many forces are at work in Europe,
that are slowly bringing the Spanish
Government to an acceptance of the in
dependence of Cuba, if it desires to pre-
serve the Philippines, the remaining
islands of the West Indies, and, more
than all, get some guarantee of the
Cuban debt of $4OO,OO0,OOO. Should
Spain, at the last moment, concede it,
even after Intervention is declared, it
will be magnificent triumph of the
Presidents policy. War may be said
to be inevitable, but even after inter
vention is declared, it may be stayed.
This is possible, but rather improbable.
The Republican politicians fear the de-
feat of the party in November, if the
President makes an error. So does the
President fear it.

The Miowera mail was not a large
one, but it contained one letter of
great Importance to all citizens. This

The dispatch was to the effect that the
advocates of Hawaiian annexation had
decided at Washington to push the
pending treaty to vote in the Senate
This announcement, following on the
heels of the accepted intelligence that
the joint resolution was to be taken
up, created decided sensation and was
gladstone tidings TO the annexationists
1t is explained that certain Senators
who have been opposed to the treaty
in the past, have changed front on ac-
count of the foreign policy object les

was talk at the post office of the out

MORAL OBLIGATION OF RACES.

If the native woman correspondent
of the Advertiser, whose clever letter
appeared in its columns, several days
since, would become familiar with So
cial life in other countries, she would
feel less bitterly towards the mis-
sionaries," who she believes, have not
acted with justice towards the natives.
1t is unfortunate that she and the ma
tives generally, believe sincerely that
the missionaries especially are under a
peculiar obligation to the native race.
They, as well as all enlightened people.
are under the strongest obligation to
act justly and generously towards the
race. But the natives, on the other
hand, are equally under obligations to
do very many things which they have
not done. No fair minded person, how
ever, insists that the natives, with their
ignorance of obligations should be
measured by the same standard by
which the civilized races are measured.
We quote here an interesting item
which shows that women with the most
distinguished connections sometimes
have hard time of it, in America. The
daughter of an American President
asks charity of Congress, not because
she is really entitled to it, but because
she hopes that Congress will be gen
erous.
Senator Vest has received a letter
from Mrs. Letitia Tyler Semple.
daughter of former President Tyler,
and now one of the inmates of the
Louise Home, requesting that Congress
give her an increase of pension. The
letter, which is very lengthy one, has
been printed by the Senate Committee
on Pensions, that body having voted to
increase her pension of SIS month to
$50 month. She refers to the pension
granted last year to Mrs. cambridge. a
daughter of President Taylor, explain
ing that she and Mrs. cambridge stand
in exactly the same relation to former
Chief Magistrates. L ask that you OBJ
tain for me the same increase of pen
sion that Mrs. cambridge receives,
writes Mrs. Semple, for at all points
we stand alike, save that she has mar
ried again, and that / represent four
Presidents. James Monroe, William
Henry Harrison, John Tyler, and Ben
jamin Harrison were cousins through |
the Armisteads and Tylers of Vir-
ginia.
Mrs. Semple adds that her necessity
must plead for her, as her pension of
SIS month for the service of her hus-
band in the Mexican war is her only
income, and mentions the fact that
after the death of her mother in Sep
TENDER, 1912, she assumed the duties of
the lady of the White House, and per-
formed them to the satisfaction of ALL
That the native women are ignorant
of the distress that exists in cities ev-
erywhere is not singular. But this |
ignorance only Injuries themselves. 1t |
leads them to believe that their own
,hardships are due to the haole and it |
creates political discomfort.
