THURSDAY, MAY II, 1898.

II is learned that one of the chief
sticking points presented by the
Executive to the Legislature, re =
gardipg the. pending Pacific cable
bill is that, if Hawaii give chart
er to the Scrymser company and
the United States do not, there
will ensue a hsngup of cable pros
poets indefinitely: To the argu-
mept in reply that the effect of the
Hawaiian charter might be condi-
toned upon the granting of an
American charter. it is pointed
out that the bill would even then
be giving a sort of whip handle TO
the Scrymser company over its re-
puted rival at Washington. Sup
pose it does ? Ii Scrymser was

BILE offer ever made to this coun-
try, why should he not by the

AID bona fide ones at that
when this Government gave its
snap judgment in favor of the
Spalding franchise-the most pre-
poste Gus piece of projected rob-
berry by spectators ever attempted
upon this country in cable
matters. That only plumber was
in the eyes of. the promoters
appears in a well defined report
from the United States that, with
that weapon in their hands, they
bled English capitalists to the
tune of S65,000 under cover of
"preliminaries." Perhaps i, will
fully serve the only object for
which the BULLETIN is contend
ing-that of getting a cable as
soon as possible-to make the
Hawaiian franchise an open one
to the first company that may re
ceive franchise from the United
States. In our humble opinion,
however, this course would be
like throwing bone midway be
tween two hungry dogs on the
brink of a precipice. There
would be a fierce struggle to
mutual death and the bone would
