POSSIBLE RESULTS Il.

It is not unlikely that hereafter the
masses OF the citizens Of the United states
VIII be drawn together moro closely than
they hayo been for more than a third OF
century past and that sectional suspicion
and prejudice VIII almost entirely dlsap-
pear.
Tho results OF such practical refrater
nizntlon. from n political standpoint, viii
necessarily be pronounced. 1t will hardly
be possible again for Eastern politicians
for instance. to create n fear In the North
eastern States that the West aud South
are seeking to ''jeopardize' National
honor or interests. in any campaign in
which the Nation may be engaged. To re-
move sectional jealouses will naturally
broaden popular opinion and 1t VIII be
easier for the masses to agree upon great
issues.
Under such results, unqucstlonably one
OF the first practically National movements
Is certain to be a determination to ulroot
the great trusts and cmancipate trade ard
Industry. These combines will not decrease
tho popular objection to them by their con
duet during the war. Whenever they can
hold up the government they Will do 1t,
and while the people ara fighting for the
Nations honor and prestige the trusts viii
DO industriously reaping such financial
harvest MS the occasion furnishes.
The growth OF these great organizations
mas been continuous since the civil war,
but under no administration have they mui-
urlied so rapidly as during The Mckinley
regime. An article recently and carefully
prepared for the New York Journal OF Com.
mcree tells us that at present there ere
fully 200 trusts In existence, with total
capital stock OF more than three and
half billions of dolars
Unless a foreign war draws the masses
Into common sympathy and practical
unity Of feeling against these Internal foes
OF the Nation. we arc not lilsos to lid
ourselves of this Incubus upon natural pro-
duction and development. II war develops
a more practical and active patriotism than
has been exhibited for some years past and
arouses more Jealous popular regard .or
the countrys best interests, we can anticl-
pate the removal OF many stumbling blocks |
to National prosperity. II such be the cen
summation we can well afford ID spend
what war Is likely to cost.

the British Government. She was frankly informed by the Minister of Finance that Hawaii would not pay the claim unless compelled by threats of force so to do. A mere demand for payment from Great Britain would not suffice; 1t must be ac- companied by an armed force or it's equiv alent. As all the nations. except the United States, which has ignored the cries for assistance and redress on the part of it's citizens illegally imprisoned are waiting Great Britain's final decision some little excitement may be anticipated before summer ends
 IT may be stated from the very best of authority that the fate of the Scrymser Pacific Cable bill Is sealed. No matter what action this Legislature may take inc executive has decided to op- nose any exclusive franchise act, be it Hawaiian, American or foreign. Gen araI Alfred $. Hartwell is making gal Iant fight for the cable, but 1t Is a fruit iess one in the face of the opposition en- eendered within the past two or three days. There are those who say that there is a card in the shape of foreign cable combinations up the Governments sleeve, which Is being used automatically to force annexation and will be openly played if necessary.
 Of course the Government, when ap- preached on this delicate subject, takes

to 1S00 Japan is willing to furnish Hawaii with as many contract laborers as the plantations require, and there is practically no check upon this lm- migration, except the mere will ot the Hawaiian executive, which practically surrenders to the planters wishes while pretending to control them in the interests of that white labor which IS much talked of, demanded by law ana the contracts between the planters and the Government, but which has not yet put in an appearance.
 The Calls correspondent spent pleasant quarter of an hour with the Japanese Minister this morning, in the hope that progress might be reported in the arbitration negotiations between Hawaii and Japan, which have almost passed out of the public view. These negotiations are still slumbering In the Hawaiian foreign office. Minister Cooper is too busy with legislative work to attend to them. The real reason is that the executive is depending upon
The San Francisco call., 1898-05-01

refuge in the stereotyped paragraph, "Why, surely, you are aware that at pres ent no foreign cable can be landed on Hawaiian soil without the consent of the United States. I cannot discuss this sub ject until the question of annexation IS decided
 The Senate of Hawaii has placed itself on record with few oratorical bulls this session, of which one uttered yester- day is as good as the next A young Senator was advocating, on behalf ot the tenants, an amendment to the landlord and tenants law, and he mellifiuously, in a rich North of Ireland brogue, de- scribed landlords as sharks who come down like an eagle on the prey simply to devour it." The Senate being land lord and corporation house, his oratory did not save the bill, whose body was handed over to the wolves and cormor- ants.
 We have had a great fuss in the Legis- lature over the Charles l.. Carter memor- iaI fountain.

His companions in the Citizens s Guards idolized him a political hero and martyr, and subscribed for memor-

annexation news "by the next steamer" (this time the Alameda, due on the 27th), in the hope that they may then wash their. hands of all their burdens and responsibilities and place them upon the broad back of Uncle Sam. The delay does; not appear to disturb the courteous equanimity of Minister Shim- amura who, for the present, is more interested in the problem of peace or war on the international chess board.
 Except for occasional scare fakes" in Honolulu's progressive" journals a stranger here would never judge from our dolce far niente temperament and attitude thatNour national independence was at stake. We are simply waiting for the verdict and the return of J. O. Carter and the dilatory news by the next steamer.
 Attention may be called to a statement by a Cabinet Minister to-day to a lady relative of one of the British claimants for redress for illegal confinement in 1895 Her nephew is one of the claimants that Great Britain has informed the Hawaiian Government must be compensated. The lady in view of leaving for Australia next week. desires to learn the probabilities of the Government accepting the decision of

The reference only delays it's adoption, although the memorialists are fighting hard to retain the site. The future location of the monument will probably be Kapiolani Park.

Their announced wish was to keep alive the prejudice against the rebels" of 1895. This sentiment. encouraged by Ministers Cooper and Smith, whose safeguarding shadows are the army and police. was opposed by the whole conservative body of the community. who wish bygones to be bygones and harmony and independ- ent republicanism to reign In lieu of per- petual strife. The fight commenced in the Senate by question as to the power of the executive to grant the site on Pal ace square The judiciary committee of that body reported that the Government probably had the authority 'by implica tion'': but they followed 1t up by the following concurrent resolution, which was adopted unanimously:
 Be it resolved. That It Is the of the Legislature of the republic of Hawaii that the occupation of certain portion of Union square in the city of Honolulu. Island of Oahu, by a n1emorial fountain will be an obstruction to inc nublIc use of said square; and be 1t further

result is that the Acting Marshal has

held for investigation" 1t is believed
that still further facts in the case will
be developed, connecting one or two
more men with the ARRAY.

NYaiIan Benefit.


4 chorus of fifty men Is not often
heard in Honolulu.
Hawaiian melodies are not likely 10
be overdone, as the years pass,
pecially as sung by large bodies Of
Hawaiian people.
The trained chorus OF girls at the
Kawaiahao School, plus the young
men OF the Hawaiian Choral, consti-
tute a we'll balanced mixed chorus.
Have you heard De Koven's settin g
TO the famed ''RecessiOnal' OF Kip
lings.
1t is not exactly fair of the public 10
expect Judge Wilcox to sing, and he
naturally desires to have his friends
understand his position TO be that OF
translator and author rather than that
of composer or SOloiSt.
Mr. Anthony Fabian is well able TO
impress the public with the sweetness
OF the air Paoakalani.
Perhaps the most difficult numbers
on the program, aside from those TO
be rendered by the kamehameha Girls
School, are Cannibal Idyl of Taber's,
and The Nightingale, of Mendelssohn.
The public will be curious 10 see how
they will be handled.
The singing of the Kamehameha
Girls School needs no comment other
than the common concession that one
hears no better female chorus work
in considerable travel-and by steam
er.
The policemen have determined not
