His habits of thought are now too
strongly fixed to allow him to swiftly
accept the theory Of expansion. He
was a great and loyal actor in the
the nation. He placed the united ma
ton under the deepest obligations TO
make him for all time, one of it's great
benefactors. He retains today the love
and admiration of those who know well
the history Of their country during the
last forty years. But the professional
patriots and politicians read only the
history Of today" and have no rev.
erence for his great work as one OF the
nation builders.

CARL SCHURZ.

Carl Schurz is the President of the
professional patriots despise him. He
is opposed to Expansion. The profes-
siOnal politicians and patriots hate
him. He opposed Hawaiian annexa-
ton and persisted in making incorrect
statements regarding the conduct of
the men who led our revolution. So,
many of US especially dislike him.
SchurZ was a refugee from Germany
where he had, when young man,
preached democracy. He mastered the
English language with rapidity. Dur
ing the political campaign Of 1860, he
made a series OF speeches in the West
on behalf of Lincoln, that arrested the
attention OF the country, by reason of
their vigor and eloQuence. He did
more than any man, during that period,
to influence the great German vote in
favor OF the rising Republican party.
When the Civil war began, Mr.. Lin
coin gave him the rank of general. He
did much to fill the army with German
recruits The Republican leaders, after
the war, relied upon his great influence
with the German population, to secure
their votes for the Republican party.
President Hayes made him Secretary
OF the Interior. There his influence
began to decline. He was not a poll
tician, and refused to allow the "boys"
to conduct his office. The machine
hated him, because he was impracti-
cable.
He had done a vast service in stand
ing by Lincoln in the dark days, but
the party mistrusted him, because he
would not take orders from the bosses.

AT A BANQUET.

At the annual banquet OF the New
England Society held in Charleston, S.
c., on December 21st, Senator Hoar
was the principal speaker. This con-
sentative representative OF New En-
gland thought was received with much
enthusiasm. He said that he believed
the white and colored races in the
South were on the whole dwelling to-
gether in peace and harmony, under
the silent and sure law by which al
ferior follows
The occasion of the speech and the
trend of thought in the speech show a
marvellous change in the public thought
of the north during the last fifteen
years.
Senator Hoar witnessed some of the
advanced thought of the South on the
liquor question. The wines selected for
the banquet were seized by the State
dispensary constables, and the des-
cendants of the Puritans with their
friends would have had dry" feast,
if Senator McLauren had not persuaded
his brother-in-law, the governor of the
State to order a release Of the pro-
hibited stuff. The luxurious descend
ants of the Pilgrims decline to honor
the memory Of the father by using that

days as "applejack" or Jersey light

EDWARD ATKINSON AGAIN.

Certain of Mr.. Edward Atkinson's
statements at the late New England
dinner given in Springfield, Mass,
which were republished in these
columns yesterday also involve the
question of historical accuracy. Mr..
Atkinson said, abiding to the landing
OF the missionaries in Hawaii, 1--WE
found there a large number of happy,
contented people. They enjoyed their
lands and lives"
This is the statement made by an
educated writer, man who unques-
tionably prides himself on his accuracy
in the research for facts. He is clearly
under some strange spell that prevents
the use of the ordinary intuitions of a
student. Excluding the relations of the
missionaries with the people of these
Islands in the early part of the Gen.
fury, as an affair involving bitter diff
ferences OF opinion, the actual social
and political condition of the natives
has scientific interest, as the condi-
tfons Of other nationalities have.
The early voyagers, the traders, the
whalemen, have generally agreed upon
the social condition of these happy
and contented people" as Mr. Atkinson
calls them. Not native owned a
square foot of land. Not even a chief
owned land. The population had great
ly diminished through wars. Cook S
and Vancouver's men had spread loath-
nix he ho
cure OF sickness was in the hands OF
scothsayers. Ignorance and supersti-
ton were universal.
Whether the people were "contented
and happy" depends upon the definition
OF these words. In one sense the naked
savages, with a good digestion, with
leisure to bask in the sun, or to in
dulge in the sweet pleasure of burning
their enemies alive, are quite as happy
and indeed may be more happy than a
modern millionaire who takes no en-
joyment in books and art and nature
besides being confronted day and night
If he is Christian, with the distress
ing apparition of the camel trying &c
plunge through the eye of needle
There is a school of radical philoso-
pliers who believe that the true savage
has nothing to envy in the lot of his
civilized brother. But Mr.. Atkinson has
not, heretofore professed this creed
A fair inference from all his interest
ing writings is that the institutions and
customs and social arrangements of
the old Bay State, are on the whole
preferable to the state of the ''un-
futored'' savage
Perhaps Mr.. Atkinson's knowledge of
the joys and sorrows of the savage life
are derived from such works as
Type" by Herman Melville, although
We strongly suspect that he is the
guileless victim of Capt. Julius A. Pal
mer's "Romances from the forecastle
or among the 400 on a cocoanut
island"
AS it was the custom among the ma
tives, before the advent of the mis-
siOnaries to neglect the aged and fire.
euently to bury them alive, when they
became useless, and infanticide was
openly practised, Mr.. Atkinson may
have seen in these usages the sources
OF true social contentment, and mourns
their absence in the country within
sight of Bunker's hill
Mr.. Atkinson's statement, if correct,
is certainly Il powerful argument
against the need of any evolution or

EXERCISE

Our doctors are busy treating pa
tients who are suffering from COM
plants, more especially malarial dis
orders, which will be materially bene-
fitted if they drink water that is pure
and possesses curative features, as does

PURE
WATER.

If the advice given in those three
words is needed, good health will fol-
low. City water is not good for many
reasons, principally, because it is con-
taminated with vegetable and putrid
matter of all descriptions. 4 simple
analysis shows this to be a fact.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1899-01-11
DUE:

Ask your family physician about the
water, and if he is honest he will en-
dorse it's use.
All who have drank the water speak
in the highest of terms for it.
This climate demands the use of
such a water and you cannot afford to
be without it.
