ANOTHER SURVEY.

Pearl Harbor has had a number. of
surveys made of it, but it is not done
with yet, for the engineers are now to
try their hands at it. Though much
work has been done in the past and
some of the present surveys will only
be repetition of those already made
the information is not considered en-
tirely satisfactory by the military au-
thorities, who now have the matter in
charge.
Nearly all of the work up to the
present has been done by the navy,
and has been regarded from a naval
point of view. The army officers always
take a view somewhat different from
naval men. There is nothing surpris-
ing in this. Details which a naval
man considers are all important cut
little figure in a military mans mind,
while matters which seem vital to a
military man are entirely overlooked
by his naval comrade.
Upon certain broad lines both arms
of the service agree and are trained
alike, but when it comes to full de-
tails they are working on different
lines and seeking for different things.
1t is by no means that the naval Off
GERS who have had charge of the sur
veys of Pearl harbor have not done
their duty or have slurred it, but it is
that the war department wants infor-
nation of a different character
With the receipt of this latter in
| formation it is probable that all that
is to be known about Pearl harbor will
be known and that when a proper
grant is made for it's improvement and
fertilization work can be carried on as
long as the appropriation lasts.
Work on Pearl Harbor will mean a
great deal to the Island of Oahu in
general and to the city of Honolulu in
| particular.

CUTTING THE GORDIAN KNOT.

The condition of affairs in Samoa
shows, first, that when powers under
take a protectorate they are going to
have things run as they think right,
and not as the protected think right,
and secondly. it shows how thoroughly
the United States and the United King
dom understand one another There
is also a lesson to learn, ard that is
how cruel to an inferior race it is for
a foreign representative to hold out
hopes which he is not in a position to
fulfill.
II was very plain from the first that
the ruling of the chief justice would
have to be maintained if the powers
intended the title of protectorate to
mean anything. 1t was absurd that the
court of ultimate resort which had been
established by the Berlin treaty, and
which had especial powers to pronounce
its opinions upon the claims of EARRING
factions for the Office of king, should
after it had been appealed to by the
chiefs, have it's decision defled. 1t
was impossible to maintain "a shadow
of influence were such a thing to have
beGh allowed,
tE13efore Admiral Kautz left San Fran
cisco he had been fully instructed how
to act. And those instructions must
have been based upon an agreement
between the powers as to what action
would have to be taken. 1t was known
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-04-01

here that Malietoa Tanus would be re-
instated and the first information upon
the subject was published in San Fran
cisco in a dispatch from here. OF
course the matter was not widely
known and the dispatch was contra
dicted, but events have shown that
Honolulu had the information before
the rest of the world, just as she now
has the first confirmation of 1t.
Admiral Kautz's proclamation ought
to have been clear enough to the Sa-
means, but the tacit encouragement
which they received from the German
consul, which by no means signified
encouragement by the kaiser's govern
ment, made the Mataafa faction turn
deaf ear to the orders of Admiral
Kautz. Then the American admiral
and the British captain proceeded to
enforce the policy laid down by their
governments. and number of Samoan
lives have been lost.
That the action of Admiral Kautz
will cause any imbroglio with Germany
is not to be thought Of The kaiser has
shown by his action in withdrawing
the German fleet from Manila bay that
he wants no friction with the United
States. The inaction of the captain
of the Fake may be laid at the door
of Consul Rose. He did not wish 10
show that his own consul had taken a
wrong stand, and so he remained neu-
trail, though he had been present and
had acquiesced in the proclamation by
Admiral Kautz.
Nationalities of the mental develop
ment of the Samoans have to learn
that in dealing with the great powers
though much litatude is allowed, the
word of the powers once given it will
be abided by. They established a chief
justice with certain special powers. If
those powers were derided or set aside,
there is and always will be force
enough to maintain them. 1t is a les
son to the Samoans and VIII be a les
son to others in a similar state of civ
! ilizaton.
The whole Samoan story is an in
teresting study. 1t is a lesson in pro-
| tectorates and what they lead to. The
protectorate of one power is understan-
able by the protected. A protectorate
by three powers is not so easy to I'M
derstand. The central government can
control the intrigues of those who rep
resent them in distant spot, and one
with infrequent communication. Some
what similar intrigues used to go on
! here. They were unauthorized but
they have left train of bitterness be-
hind them. Fortunately there was no
tripartite protectorate here, and our
loss Of life and property, until we came
to our present satisfactory position,
has been infinitesimal. Samoa will be
happy when she is annexed definitely
to some strong power

The troops to replace the volunteers
in Manila are pouring through our har-
Dor. The chances are, however, that
as long as there is any fighting in the
Islands, the volunteer troops will be
willing and anxious to re-enlist 10 stay
in the Philippines. The United States
needs all the men she can get togeth-
er out there. If the Fiipinos take to
a guerilla warfare there will be a great
deal of trouble in getting perfect or
der for a long time to come. If A;yui-
naldo and his intimate advisers can he
captured or killed, the latter being the
easier solution, a great step towards
pacificaton would be made. The ig
norant are kept in a state of ferment
by the better educated. On any large
scale after his complete defeat, which
must be imminent, Aguinaldo will not
be able to act. But he will be able
to give endless trouble if he escapes.

Business is acquiring the rush of
other lands now. The old sleepy way
of doing things is rapidly being rele-
gated to the past. An instance of this
was shown by the trip of Joseph
p. Cooke on the Noeau. He left Hon
Olulu at LAS p. m. of Thursday; reach
ed Lahaina at 1890 a. m. of Friday;
was there exactly an hour, during
which he transacted his business and
sailed for Honolulu at 80 a. M, reach
ing here in ample time to carry out
everything that was required before
the Mariposa sailed for the coast. This
is push indeed and is the first instance
of such energy displayed here. In for
mer times business men have been sat
iSfied to take a week over what Mr..
Cooke did in few hours. The business
style of the Islands is changing rapid
ly. In a year from now the old resi-
dents won't know themselves. Wheth
err living will be pleasanter in the rush
is quite another thing. The charm of
the dolce far niente" will be gone.
But countries like people cannot al
ways remain at sweet seventeen"
Hawaii has come of age and must en-
ter into affairs.

Italy has not given up the San Nun
bay scheme. The influence of France
and Russia which was at the back of
the refusal to grant the concession,
seems to have waned. There has been
quest with the discourtesy shown by
Tsung Lii Yemen, and the matter is to
be once more considered. The point
that it is difficult to understand is
what Italy, with her heavy taxation
and her population ripe for revolt,

be God: if there be sin and God, there
must be hell: if there be sin and no hell
there is no God. This doctrine is woven
into the fabric of mans moral convie-
tons. 1t is preached in every disorder
that has ever afflicted creation. It is
proclaimed with all the dread array of
place and time and circumstance, and
pictured with every dismal accessory of
woe by the Divine Teacher Himself.
It remains to the yet uncreated portion
OF the world, the source of truthful and
saving fear, without which higher mo-
lives of good have been proved power
less TO sustain passion and lead us to
our end.
He'll is a consoling doctrine, because
truth is consoling; because justice is
consoling. 1t is the truth that is vindi-
Gated in the everlasting separation of
the unrepentant sinner from the source
of all truth. 1t is justice that 1T melted
out at last, when the traitor to God and
MS fellow-man, carrying win him his
unexpiated reason into a world where
expiation is impossible, bringing with
him into eternity an evil that never can
be changed, plunges into a state of ir-
redeemable loss, that is, of irredeem-
able woe, for hell is the loss of God.
Add to that what torments imagination
may conceive, and there is no increase
to the unspeakabe affiiction.

CARDINAL GIBBONS AT THE
DEWEY PARADE.

! The grouping of President Mckinley,
Admiral Dewey and Cardinal Gibbons,
the three highest dignitaries of the
state. the Catholic Church and the
navy of the United States, on the stand
at the capitol during the Dewey pa
rade, made historical picturesque and
significant scene. The Cardinal was
in his ecclesiastical robes of vivid red,
the Admiral was Respondent in gold
| and blue, and the President wore his
customary suit of solemn black" the
monotony of which was relieved by a
single pink, pinned in a buttonhole by
the LADY OF the White House.
After his benediction, the Cardinal
turned to Admiral Dewey, who extend
ed his hand, and said:
Admiral, L cannot let this oppor-
tunity pass without congratulating you
on your magnificent victory, which has
added renown to the American name
throughout the world. 1 hope you will
live many years to enjoy your honors,
the fruits of your splendid achieve
ment. Permit me, Admiral, to thank
you for your kindness to the Chaplain
of the Olympia, Father Reany, WHO is
a priest of my diocese. l hope that the
benediction of 100000 of people will
make your remaining years exceeding
ly happy. / rejoice to be present on
this e"entful occasion"
Admiral Dewey responded; Il thank
you sincerely, your Erninence, for your
gracious and complimentary words. I
appreciate the honor OF having you
present on this, the happiest occasion
of M life

and Bishop Seaman has pointed it out
through the columns of The Inter
mountain Catholic. 1t is "a general rule,
holding good in most dioceses in the
United States, that the solicitor for
the aims of the faithful shall obtain
the approval IN writing of the Bishop of
the diocese. This Episcopal sanction
protects the true and deserving. and
drives off imposters. The pastor of
the parish is the judge of the Bishops
seal and signature. He also decides
whether or not collection among his
parishioners may BE allowed in justice
TO the peculiar needs of his own parish
a Bishops approval of an appeal for
charitable work out OF his own diocese
is ordinarily granted, subject to the
consent of the pastors. Were the char
liable, therefore, to exact these two
conditions before giving their money,
that is, the Bishops approval and the
pastors consent. they would be effec-
tually shielded from imposition
Bishop Scanlan's letter is very timely.

POPE LEo,s R1RTHPLAcE.

The past summer N Pone being I'M

from Pope Leo, This reminds ME of
my native mountain air, which L have
not breathed for forty-two years, and,
what is more, never shall again. Some
times he continued, lin the garden

which carries me in a moment back TO
Carpineto." The Pontiff, indeed, is
quite justified in his loving regret for
his birthplace, which is situated five
miles distant from the railway, on a
peak of the Lepini Mountains, and is
surrounded by high peaks, often snow
capped, making it a most picturesque
spot, says Rome correspondents of the
London Telegraph. The village has
about 5000 inhabitants, chiefly, shep-
herds, who. although wretchedly poor,
are strong and sturdy, and exceedingly
proud of "our family"

There is a small iron bed, hung and

THE PROPOSED TRIPLE ALI
ANCE.

The recent talk of a triple alliance
between the United States. England and
Germany is all fudge and nonsense.
Moreover, we have no right to interfere
in the affairs of any foreign nation. and
if we had, our favor should certainly be
shown TO France. from whom we re-
ceived substantial marks of friendship.
However, our Monroe doctrine, a
great and wise one, prevents our as
suming the partnership of France or
any other nation. 'Dreibund" is the
carefully selected name which England
so warily applies to the proposed alli-
ance, which signifies combination of
three parties in enc. The plain Eng
lish word alliance is quite clear enough
and we will let it rest at that.
We have just as much business to
attend to at present as we can COM
petently handle, and England and Ger
many had best seek elsewhere for the
necessary third party of the "Drei-
bund.''
At present we have practically an
entire system of English finance
gold standard-and our statesmen
seem to be DESTROYS of making every
thing English. Such state of affairs,
however. will hardly occur.
The next Presidential election will
see us returning to the old Jeffersonian
government principles. The great
business which claims our Immediate
attention at home is the matter of
finance and tariff. Tariff forms the
greatest weapon of Che fruits, and, if
removed, will prove their weakness and
destruction.
Let US beware of triple alliances and
national expansion, and attend to mat
tiers at home directly, not accepting
blindness from bosses, bankers or po-
litical tricksters. Charity begins at
home" but if we should feel an over
flow of neighborly kindness, Francel
should receive our earliest attention.

A CARD FROM BISHOP sCANLAN

1 feel it my duty to protect Catholics
and the public generally from fraud
and imposition by notifying them from
time to time that no person bearing the
name and garb of priest or sister or
any one else is authorized or permitted
TO solicit or collect in this diocese for
any purpose whatever connected with
the Catholic church without having
from me permission in writing bearing
my seal and signature. Should any one
be found engaged in doing this unlaw-
full work of collecting without such a
document he or she, as the case may
be, should be regarded by all as a fraud
and an imposter. L. SCANLAN,
Bishop of Salt Lake

THE DUTIES OF LIFE.

Every life has its purpose and con-
sequent duties That this is not al
ways made manifest in it's course, only
argues the blindness and recreancy of
the one who is content to exist and not
live in the best sense of the term. Not
! plant that springs from the bosom
of the earth but sfulfills some part in
the design of creation; and since the
rule applies to the most insignificant
items in the divine plan, what reason
or excuse can man have to evade the
universal responsibility?
To merely exist is not to live; it
is to caricature and belittle the very
name of living. To live is to be an
active force in the worlds destiny, and
whether one be a great or an humble
factor in what his time accomplishes.
factor he must be to fulfill the pur-
Hcse of his being.
All, indeed, are not endowed with
equal faculties; all cannot be flaming
lights of honor upon the worlds high
way, but all can, within the limitations
the Creator has imposed, contribute to
its illuming. The tallow dip performs
its allotted part as fully as does the
lighthouse: either ore could not be sub
stituted for the other, and if the head
land beacon attracts more attention
tHdH uOeS the letDie taper, Il out Iui-
fills its mission, which the other does
equally well.
All cannot be beacons. all need mot
be humble tapers. but whether fitted
for one service or the other, there is a
part 10 be performed by each life. and
the fact of real living or merely daily
ing out an existence is determined by
the performance. He only truly lives
whose life means something accom-
plisned and something in process of ac-
ccmpNshment. The life of the humblest
blade Of grass growing upon the hill
side is nobler, in comparison, than the
man who passes his time to no pur-
pose.-The Tablet, Baltimore, Dec. 2.

FIGURES THAT TELL.

At the beginning of the century, be-
fore the founding of the Society of the
Propagation of the Faith, the Propa-
ganda numbered scarcely 10000 Cath
olics, under its jurisdiction. For the
present century the number has risen
to about 26,OOO.OOO. Generations of mis-
sionaries have spent their lives in
bringing about this happy result. The
propagation of the Faith" has col
lected and distributed towards that end
no less than S53, 669, 1929, during the
course of seventy years qS22-1S9D. The
receipts of the Society, last year, were
s, 3S8. S11.49. Of this sum the Catholics
in the United States contributed $751;
642. 90.
