The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-03-16
A DILEMMA.

The vessels now asking for Hawaii
an register seem in a very unhappy
condition, unless the Hawaiian gov
eminent will give them relief. They
have been waiting till the shipping laws
of the United States should be extend
ed over the Islands, when the number
of vessels under the Hawaiian flag
would be decided by a fixed date. This
according to one bill was to be July Z,
1898; according to another August 18th
of the same year, and yet again Jan
uary l, 1899, but Congress adjourned
without doing any of these things and
the only thing now left to do is for
the Hawaiian government to act.
The reason that no ships have been
allowed Hawaiian register is that there

The Chinese in the interior of China
are showing what barbarians they are
in spite of the veneer of civilization
which they have. Whenever a Chinese
mob breaks loose, it commits terrible
atrocities. The behavior of the insur-
rectionists in central China shows
what kind of people they are when
they break forth. The same story is
true of their treatment of missionaries
among them. The same story was true
during the great rising and massacre
at Singapore in the fifties, and it was
repeated in Sarawak ten years later.
The Chinese is industrious, frugal and
as a rule peaceable, but when aroused
and control is lost over him, he is bru-
tai and cruel.

Alger has held his ground in the
cabinet with strong determination, but
it looks very much as if he would have
to retire at last. The papers of his own
party have many of them turned
against him, and even his political COL
leagues are dropping away. Even the
strongest men cannot long buck
against a popular cutlery. 1t is a les
son that might be taken to heart in
our little territory. The trouble with
us is that the wrong men listen; and
the detrimentals stick.
