A RUINED SPECULAToR.

Mr.. Joseph Letter of Chicago has
failed in his wheat speculations, and
it is said that his liabilities are over
s5.OOO.OOO.
He attempted to corner" the wheat
market and failed. He was so sue
cessful in his early moves that he had
a large sum to his credit. But he
followed the example of nearly all
SPECTATORS, in refusing to ''let well
enough alone" Men of his kind be-
lieve that their successes, in specula-
ton, are due to their own excellent
judgment, and refuse to believe in the
influence of chances. In the end, they
find out how little they know about
the forces that control prices. But
the Spectator reasons in this way:
st have made some money, on my own
Judgment, why can't l make a fortune
on my own Judgment" So he can,
if he knows enough. But he never
knows enough
Letter knew that thousands of men
have been ruined in trying to corner
wheat. He knew that the dice in the
wheat pit were loaded against him.
But he had the vanity to believe that
he had been excused from suffering
the usual fate. The inordinate and
vain pride of man of this kind leads
him to believe that he is in cam
paign for wealth, which is personally
conducted" for his benefit by Provi-
dence.
Letters failure is an excellent les
son to the young men of America
| The trouble with them is. that in
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1898-06-24

stead of taking it to heart, they secret
ly believe that if Letter had taken
their advice, he would have succeeded.
The saddest feature of the disas-
trous speculation is, that it raised the
price of bread in many countries.
Poor women and children, in vast
numbers. went hungry, while this
boy speculator demanded their scanty
earnings for his own fortune If he
did not make himself rich, he made
some of the farmers rich with this
blood money of the hungry.
Worse even than this, the high
prices stimulate the cultivation of
wheat everywhere Then over pro-
duction drives down the prices. The
farmer becomes discontinued, and in
sists on the government making
money more plentiful. He will not
accept half-dollar wheat in the place
of dollar wheat, without trying holding
some one responsible for it.
The speculations of men like Letter
are a calamity, but they are part of
severe lessons whic have to be learn
ad in settling down to a wholesome
basis of living.

AN IMPRESSIVE INCIDENT.

Capt. Rob. Evans, fighting Rob. OF
the battleship Iowa has given the en-
tire American navy a serious lesson
in naval etiquette. The circumstance
is stated in the Washington Evening
Star as follows: 81;
"a launch from the cruiser Almi-
rante Oquendo came out of the har-
Dor flying flag of truce this morn
| ing. A boat from the Iowa, which was
| lying nearest, went to meet her. Two
officers of the Almirante Oquendo
came on board, and very dignified,
stately officer on the deck of the Iowa
received them and inquired their bust
ness. They said they came out under
the impression that a white flag was
flying from the Iowa and supposed
the battle ship wanted to surrender
An investigation showed several
things on the Iowa which might have
caught their eyes, one of which was
Captain Evans night shirt hanging
on a line. The matter was explained
and the Oquendo's launch returned
with many apologies"
The incident must revolutionize the
laundry arrangements of the Amer
lean navy. The Secretary of the Navy
is pressed with many official duties,
but it now becomes a matter of inter
national Importance that false signals
should not be exhibited towards each
other by belligerents. In this case,
while the whole civilized world is
waiting the issue of great naval
battle between the giants, the person
al necessities of a great captain, due
to his desire for personal cleanliness,
cause the arrest of all hostile move
ments by the great Spanish fleet, and
a telegram from Admiral Cervera to
the Queen Regent of Spain: "Ameri-
can fleet will surrender. Flag of truce
flying from the battleship." No doubt
the Admiral impressively served out
an extra ration of garlic and whiskey
to the crews of the Spanish ships,
and then despatched an officer to re-
ceive the sword of the American Adj
miral, and dungeons were prepared
for the American "hog drivers"
The impressive lesson taught by this
incident ought to be used effectively
by the pastors in all of our Churches.
1t illustrates the vanity of all things.
It teaches all men to be on their guard
against false signals of distress hung
out by the wicked. What good men
may believe to be signal of surrend-
er by the evil disposed, may only be

has taught us all lesson.

ANNEXATION AT HAND.

For the first time in the history OF
the annexation movement it may be
safely said that it is out of the woods.
What reasoning, and good advice, and
statesmanlike views could not do, will
be done by an object lesson History
will repeat itself.
In debating upon the resolution
which he had introduced into the
House of Representatives for the an
nexation of Hawaii, Mr.. Newlands
stated forcibly that he was opposed
to territorial expansion, but he looked
upon the acquisition of Hawaii as a
matter of great commercial and strate-
gic Importance to the United States.
The overwhelming majority in
favor of the joint resolution for an
nexation, indicates the force of the
object lesson. Even Speaker Reed
with his strong influence finally became
only bull before a cannon ball"
train, and he has yielded.
The members of the Senate, who
have opposed the treaty are under
the same compelling influences as the
members of the House They are not
above the object lessons, nor can they
Withstand the pressure of events, the
liberal use of these Islands by the
American forces, as a purely strategic
measure
There will be debate in the Senate
over the measure, but it will not be
long. The opponents of the treaty,
like old veterans in the battlefield, will
feel defeat, without coming under fire,
and will act accordingly, and retire.
Nothing now but miracle will help
them out. Taking all things into con-
sideration the joint resolution of an
nexation should be passed within ten
days from the day it was received by
the Senate.

WAR NOTES.

The substance OF the war news from
the Atlantic operations is, that Ad-
miral Sampson has occupied Guam
tanamo, a place forty miles east of
Santiago, with force of marines, as
the base of military movements. The
bay is an excellent one in which yes
sells can coal and obtain supplies, and
in which they can take refuge in case
of injuries, or should they need re-
pairs. At this point the French cable
lands, and as it is now in the posses
sion of the American forces, commune
cation with Washington can be car
ried on at all times. The advantage
of this cable communication is enor-
nous and to secure it was no doubt
one of the objects of the occupation.
At the present moment, large reen-
forcements from Key West have pro-
baby landed, and taken possession of
the ground held by the small forces of
marines from the warshlps.
The treatment of the marines killed
or wounded by the Spaniards in the
action with the marines, will give a
new phase to the war. If it is true,
as stated, that the killed were mutilat-
ed by the Spanish forces, it will arouse
a sense of Indignation among the
American people that will demand
from Spain only the most definite and
exacting terms. No excuse can be
or will be, accepted for mutilating the
dead. The United States will settle
forever the power of any nation tc
carry on barbaric warfare. No single
act viii consolidate sentiment in the
States, or fire the hearts of the people
more than savegery to wounded OF
killed enemy.

NO ovERrUREs ACCEPTED.

NEW YORK, June 10.-A special to
the World from Washington says: 1t
is said here that Spain will make over
lures to the United States soon for a
settlement of the war on the basis of
return of the Philippines and Porto
Rico, independence of Cuba, but no in
demnity. The Worlds correspondent
was informed today that the President
will not consider any proposition for
peace until after the armies of occupa-
ton are landed on the Philippines,
Porto Rico and Cuba.
The President is determined that
Spain shall pay heavy indemnity, and
will secure Porto Rico and the Philip
pines before any peace proposition is
considered. If the Spanish Government
does not wish to settle on the terms of
the United States both will be held
The Administration will demand that
Spain pay the whole cost of the war to
the United States and also pay an in
demnity for the loss of the Maine. The
State Department does not believe any
European powers will interfere.

Rowell. Mr.. Bolte took the proper
course in making the charge before the
Minister of the Interior And does
the Minister decline to investigate
the claim?" Why does he refuse!
Is he, too, wicked and corrupt? Then
urge the President and Cabinet to re-
move the Minister. 1t is their duty
to do so, if he has done wrong. 1t
OCCURS to us that the public might
side with the Minister, if the facts
were we'll understood. We will not
discuss them. The case is understood
by the Executive.

THE SWORD.

Twas the battle field and the cold
pale moon
Looked down on the dead and dying
And the wind passed Ger with a dirge
and wall,
Where the young and the brave "
ing.
With his fathers sword in his rad
right hand,
And the hostile dead around him.
Lay youthful chief; but his bed was
the ground
And the graves icy sleep lad bound
him.
A reckless rover mid death and doom
Pass'd, a soldier, his plumber seek
ing,
Careless he stepped where friend and
Lay alike in their life blood reek-
ing.
Drawn by the shine of the warriors
sword,
The soldier passed beside it;
He wrenched the hand with a giants
strength,
But the grasp of the dead defed it.
He Ioosed his hold, and his English
heart
Took part with the dead before
him,
And he honor'd the brave who died
sword in hand,
As with soften'd brow he leaned
Ger him.
"A soldiers death thou hast boldly
died,
A soldiers grave won by it.
Before l would take that sword from
thine hand.
My own life's blood should dye It.
Thou shalt not be left for the carbon
crow,
Or the wolf to batten DER thee;
Or the coward insult the gallant dead
Who in life had trembled before
thee
Then dug he grave in the crimson
earth
Where his warrior foe was sleeping;
And he laid him there in honor and
rest,
With his sword in his own brave
keeping.

SHERMAN ON ANNEXATION.

TACOMA (Wash.), June 13.-Ex-
Secretary of State John Sherman, ac-
companied by his wife, arrived here
today unannounced and travelling in
modest style. The elderly couple are
travelling without company. and, after
a rest of few days, will make the
voyage to Alaska, returning after a
brief stay there.
Reference to the Asiatic fleet and
Dewey's victory brought from the ex-
Secretary the rather forceful com
ment 1T is unfortunate that we are
in Our present position in the Philip
pines This is not war of conquest
on our part, and the occupancy and
possession of these Islands is in con-
flict with the entire theory and policy
of our Government. The very declara-
ton of war stipulated that our policy
was not one of the acquisition of new
territory"
Explaining his ideas at length, he
incidentally referred to the Hawaiian
Islands also, and took pains to talk
plainly against the annexation policy
"Our lack of coaling stations in the
Pacific justifies a move in arranging
for one in the Sandwich Islands" said
he, ''but this is as far as we can safely
and consistently reach in this direc-
ton"

previous entertainment was well mas

On the legal adoption of the reso-
luton by the American Government,
the Legislature of Hawaii must act, in
order to make annexation complete.
This will require only the action of
our Senate, unless it shall appear that
certain laws should be passed, in order
to give effect to the new conditions of
affairs.
We must take "mournful pleasure
in the wickedness of Spain, for she
has fastened annexation. We are in
the position of the young man who
received with "mournful pleasure
the news that his rich uncle was dying
from delirium tremens, and on his
death would become his heir and a
millionaire.

600 bushels of wheat His grain deal,
beginning April 2, 1897, has collapsed.
His estimated loss is s5,OOO,OOO. On

have realized a profit of $4,000, 900
Since then the market has declined,
and his fathers financial support,
which he had hitherto received, being
withdrawn, he retired on the best
terms possible.

SAID no RE I'M HAWAII.

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE Chicago
police are in receipt of information
which leads them to believe that
Charles NJ. Charnley, the defaulting
treasurer of the Presbyterian Board
for the Aid Of Colleges and Acade-
mics, has been definitely located. 1t
is said that for the past two months
Charnley has been in Honolulu, in
charge of the affairs of one of the
large sugar plantations there. At the
Central Station this information is
deemed to be of sufficient Importance
to warrant the detective who has had
charge of the case in making prepare
lions for a journey to Honolulu.

NEUTRALITY.

We have received several commune
cations that discuss the policy adopted
by the Government of abandoning Ha-
waiian neutrality. AS it has been sub
stantially abandoned there is no occa-
sion for discussing it's merits at pres
ent. Many intelligent people in the
United States believed that the declar-
alton of war with Spain was prema-
ture. But, after war was declared,
they unreservedly supported it. We
have the same feeling regarding the
neutrality question. 1t is, therefore,
idle to discuss it.
We would like to see, however, some
clear, elaborate authoritative state
ment by the Government or by any
writer on public affairs, as to our
present relations with Spain.
Some day it will have an historical
interest. The students and historians
are now urgently seeking for the old
letters and journals of men, and wo-
men, in all countries which throw
light on the acts of men in the earlier
ages. What is back number to-
day, becomes live historical matter to-
morrow.
There is, we believe, no statement
extant which defines our relations with
Spain. What will the members of our
Historical Society say, fifty years from
now, when they find that in the
year 1898, a valid. but unfortunate,
treaty with Spain, which provided for
arbitration in the event of differences,
was simply disregarded, and the page
on which the story of the transaction
should be written was a blank.
Abundant reasons can be given for
the enthusiastic aid rendered to
the United States by Hawaii, owing
to the relations which exist between
the two countries. But what do we
say to posterity about this Spanish
affair? The average member of the
dominant party says: Say nothing
and let posterity dig out what it can. !"
The honest and straightforward
course for us to take is simply to tell
the truth about it, even if it hurts a
bit, to make the frank confession, that
we do not pretend to be any better
than other people, and do not act on
any higher plane than other commune
ties that break contracts that are in
convenient to keep.
1t was said in the American Con-
gress that the United States had
broken their treaties with the Indians,
for a hundred years. Why should we
be censured if we followed their ex-
ample? Besides, when the treaty with
Spain was made, we were young and
innocent nation, we had not reached
our maturity. We were a minor"
and it is good common law, and should
be good international law, that no
contract made with minor is bind
ing. Wicked men call this pleading
of the .'baby act.' Terms of reproach
are often most unjustly used.
Our duty, in view of this unfortu-
nate Spanish treaty, is very embar-
RAISING. We must, like good Catho-
lies; confess our sin in disregarding
it. and the good Priest Annexation
must grant us absolution.
In now making up our record for
the scrutiny of Posterity, we must re
mind Posterity that it must not forgei
the age in which we lived, and that
we acted according to average light
of our times.
