a GROWING POWER.

No study of the future of the Pa
cific is complete without taking cog
nizance of the growing power of Rus
STA in its waters. In Russia we have
a vigorous young giant, with a vigor-
GUS and expanding population. The
Russian is intensely patriotic and in
tensely religious. In spite of Nihilism,
there is an immense portion of the
population which is devoted to the
Gar and to the present methods of
government. In religion the Russian
is tolerant. Unlike the Spaniard who
would have nothing but Roman Cath
olicism in his colonies, the Russians
chapel bell in Siberia tinkles along
side the place where, fine Muezzin calls
to prayer, and his priests are strictly
enjoined not to proselytize.
The population of Russia is going
forward by leaps and bounds, and
though the Siberian railroad is regard
ed by many as purely a strategic
measure, it had much better be con-
sidered as a manifestation of the pres
sure of population outward and east
ward, just as in the United States the
development of the transcontinental
system of railroads was manifesto
ton of the expansion of the people
westward, filing up a country with
busy towns and villages, with manu-
factories, with farms, with fine pub
lie buildings and all the appliances of
modern civilization, where little more
than fifty years ago the Indian and
the buffalo held undisputed sway.
The enormous increase in the popu-
lation of Russia is well worth a mo-
ment's consideration. In 1862 the
population was 20,OOO,OOO. In 1896,
chiefly through the conquest of Po-
land, it was 37,OOO,OOO In 1909 it was
46,000,00O, by 1857 it had increased to

ALOHA COMMISSIONERS.

The Commissioners, have arrived
and are settling themselves prepara-
tory to the commencement of their
sessions. In Senator Morgan we wei
come an old friend whose genial hand
was grasped by many of last year,
and whose clear and incisive knowl-
edge of Hawaiian affairs we are all
well acquainted with. Senator Gull
lom and Congressman Hit we know
by reputation. They have ever been
strong friends of Hawaii and are
thoroughly capable and farseeing. In
ex-President Dole and Judge Freer
these gentlemen will meet the very
best of the intellect of the Islands,
and men thoroughly acquainted with
the needs of our varied population
and with thoroughly trained judicial
minds.
1t is unfortunate that the Commits
sioneers had so unpleasant an expert
ence in coming to the Islands, but
they will have a warm welcome from
our people and will be able to take
away, it is to be hoped, pleasant re-
memberances Of their stay amongst
us. In the soft word of the Hawaiian
all bid them Aloha-Welcome

67,0OO,000 The census taken in 1897,
forty years later, gave population to
the empire of 126,00O,000, which is
practically double that of what it was
at the time of the Crimean war.
Should this rate of increase go on,
what will be the population within
the first twenty-five years of the
twentieth century?
But not only has Russia increased
in population; it has advanced in
manufactures enormously as all the
consular reports show. 1t does not
appear, however, that the manufact-
ures keep pace with the needs of the
country, as the importation of agri-
cultural implements chiefly shows, in
spite of the fact that the iron indus
try alone increased twenty-five per
cent between the years 1896 and 1897.
We must therefore regard Russia
not in the light of a despotic power,
merely acquiring territory for militia
| ny purposes, but we must regard her
as power with colonizing propensi-
ties, which is surely pressing east
ward, trading power which will
come into competition in time with
| the United States for the commerce
of the Pacific, upon whose northern
shores she is firmly established and
has already reached hand out tow
ards the south and taken up a posi-
! ton at Port Arthur.
Looked at from this point of view
Russia looms up as most important
| factor and one which in the race for
commerce, if we even disregard terri.
torial expansion, the United States
will have to reckon with during the
next century. Had the United States
not annexed the Hawaiian Islands
the time would not have been so very
far distant when Russia would have
stretched a hand out to grasp theil
commanding position of the North Pa
cific.

That the present war will have an
effect upon the standing army of the
United States is highly probable, but
that it will have an immense effect
upon the navy is undoubted. From
this time forward we shall have one
of the largest and one of the most
modern navies in the world. Congress
sional sentiment, which was always
conservative in the matter of voting
funds for the navy, is revolutionized.
The lessons taught by Dewey and by
Sampson have been thoroughly taken
to heart.
