HE WHO BREAKS, PAYS

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, defying
public opinion, said from the Plymouth
church pulpit that 1.-The vengeance OF
God will follow the American people,
because of the inhuman treatment OF
the Indian by the frontiersmen and
government agents.
The pulpits and the moralists also
tell us that the vengeance of God will
follow the departure from those du-
ties which common sense and con-
science command.
1t is time to ask the question once
more-are we not committing a politi-
cal and moral crime in stalking the
prosperity Of these Islands on the sim
gle industry of sugar? Are not, in the
experiences of communities, the diver
sified industries necessary to the de-
velopment of character, and the we'll
being OF the whole community? Is not
our conduct, in this. respect, so flag
rantly wrong that it also invites the
vengeance of God?
These questions no doubt will be
met with the replies of good and even
pious men, that Providence does not in
terfere with business matters, and that
the existence of a single and very pros
porous sugar industry, and the pay
ment of big dividends, is plain in
dication that single industry, and
the labor of 10000 Asiatics which
creates this prosperity is condition
of things called special Providences,
and should not be disturbed by intro
ducing such uncertain projects as diver
sified industries.
If, on the other hand, this should
prove to be an incorrect view OF the
case, and diversified industries are, on
the whole, necessary to the well being
of the community, and to the life Of
civilization, then the vengeance Of God
may be expected. Even if it is con-
ceded that this vengeance will finally
appear, nearly all men, in their hearts,
look upon it as a sort OF Divine police
man, whose club may be lodged, or
who may be fooled out Of making any
arrests And If they are pressed with
the question: What are your duties to
posterity?' reply in the words Of the
rural philosopher, LET posterity skin
it's own skunks."

A HERO.

Ensign Monaghan tried 10 save
Lieut.. Lansdale and when last seen
was standing over him with a sword IN
one hand and pistol in the other, as yet
unscathed by the rebel bullets. he
had a look on his face that plainly
told his discrimination TO save his COM
rade officer or share his fate" (From
Our Flag.")
We can afford to rein up for mo-
ment our foaming horses that drag the
swaying chariots around the race
course with its great money prizes
conspicuous at the goals, and salute
the remains of Ensign Monaghan of
the Philadelphia, when they pass
through our port to final burial at
home. For did he not do more than
his duty? When he had done the duty
of a soldier in the conflict between
the ships and the Samoans, he was
justified in taking measures for the pro-
lection of his own life. But he saw a
larger duty to his friend, stricken
down and in the hands of the savages.
The instinct of preservation, often an
overruling passion, wrestled for mo-
ment in his heart with loyalty to
friend and comrade, and instantly the
courage of loyalty mastered his pur-
pose, and he too faced the savages and
died with his comrade. 1t was dual
death-the death of the soldier prompt
ly met at the tap of the drum, and the
death of the man, generous, unreserV-
ed and Christ-like in self-sacrifice.
Twenty years ago an express train at
its highest speed, approached bridge
On the Hudson river railway line, the
draw of which was open through the
blunder of the bridge tender. The fire
man leaped from the train. Doc
Simmons, the engineer, refused to fol-
low, grasped the lever, whistled clown
brakes and went down in the wreck.
OF him one wrote:
Down brakes!" One splendid hard
held breath,
And %! an unknown name
Strobe into sovereignty from death
Trailing path of flame.
Home his foot grew granite fast;
Wife--yet he did not reel
they tugged, but to the last
He stood there, true as steel"
Dare anyone who looks upon these
acts of self-sacrifice, deny the immor-
tality of the soul? Dare anyone say
that souls, gifted with such divine in
were arrested in their growth
by mortality, and remained eternally
These deeds are the blaz-
ing evidences of Immortality, which
compelled belief in it's existence, before
there came the assurance of it by Re-
relation.

record of continued prosperity in any
single industry, because steady econo-
mic development reconstructs indus
tries. and brings with reconstruction,
depression, misery, and bankruptcy in
the long run.
over a vast area Of the national
domain, included within the Southern
States, is one of the finest of all indus
tries, that OF cotton production. The
cry from millions of the cotton cuI-
tivatOrs is that they are forced to live
in poverty, because of the low prices of
cotton, and their children must be
brought up in ignorance and heather
ism
Yet able men and able journals in
the South urge the diversifying of in
'dustries, and cite abundant and I'M
questioned proof that with cotton, COM
handing instant gold at the gates of
every farm, and with diversified indus
tries, especially the production of home
supplies, the South would be as pros
porous as any land.
The condition of the South stands as
solemn warning to the people of
these Islands.
Have the gods made our people mad
that they see nothing? Can they not
know that while the cotton planters
of the South have almost monopoly
in the production of the cotton supply
and tariffs cannot touch its price,
the sugar producers here are largely de-
pendent upon the shifting laws of Con-
gress, for their great prosperity, and
upon a labor supply which is condemn
ed by the national policy and laws?
Will they not stop to read the official
reports made to the Imperial Govern
ment of Great Britain, regarding the
sugar industries of her colonies, that
the only hope of future prosperity is
in creating diversified industries?
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1899-05-03

It is believed that the national gov
eminent will establish an experimental
station here. 1t will do so in it's own
time, and with limited means. But it
cannot meet the sharp pressing needs
of these Islands. Nor can it prevent
the absorption of the land by sugar
plantations so that diversified indus
tries cannot get a foot-hold.
The measure of what should be done
is the danger of the situation.
The sugar Interest itself, if it will
take broad views, can we'll afford to
carry a large expense in creating
industries, merely for self
preservation. 1t reckons on social
because events have secured
it heretofore. So have other commu
mites without number reckoned on it,
and not found it.
After all, the music that pleases and
thrills a prosperous community is:
after us the deluge.'
