Imperialism and Christianity.

It seems that lovers of human liberty
in England are looking askance at the
policy of Imperialism now rampant on
both sides of the Atlantic. Mr.. John
Morley and Sir William Vernon Har-
court have both uttered warning notes
against it. and recent writer in the
National Revieso (English) uses the fol-
lowing language:
''Imperialism, as | in common with
many other much better men, believe,
strikes at the very root of democracy,
because it attacks the liberty of peoples,
erects despotisms based on military
force, arrests the growth of free insti-
tutions and self government all over
the world, and, by strengthening the
aristocratic spirit at home, makes it
easier to divert to expansionist adven-
lures abroad those funds and services
which are demanded for the genuine,
that is, mainly, the educational, eleva-
tion of the masses at home"
Undoubtedly the lmperiallst policy
which has received new impetus in
England, and which we have just en-
tered upon, has some Insignificant con-
comitants to which the unprogressive
classes In both the New and the Old
World will have slight difficulty in
adjusting themselves. The unpatriotic
Englishman is rather dubious about
the propriety of throwing shells among
upoffending and helpless women and
children, as was done at Omdurman.
He may develop an unexpected preju-
dice against Sir Herbert Kitchener's
dislike to be bothered with prisoners,
which may extend to the action of that
military chieftian in turning the wom-
en- of Omdurman over to the tender
mercies of a lustful and brutalized
Egyptian soldiery. after the capture of
that city. The saving of hospital sup
plies by slaughtering the wounded
dervishes that fell in the defence of
that city city, is an economy so novel
as to almost paralyze him, if he has
ever given much money to the CONVEX
sion of the heather.
The old-fashioned Englishman has
hitherto professed to entertain almost
as much hatred to human slavery as
Wendell Philips or any of the abolition
lists of ante-bellum days. It has been
his boast that whenever the slave steps
upon English soil his shackles fall of;
but in South Africa the native popula-
tions are put to work, and if word of
protest is uttered they are whipped or
shot, as the abolitionist claimed were
our African fellow-citizens 'sbefo' de
wah" under like circumstances. Rights
of property and personal liberty were
the hobbies for which Englishmen of
past generations fought many stub
born battle; but now. If tribe of
blackmen happen to be in the posses

they could not do business at all.
This means that the limit has been

The London Spectator thinks that
since the United States rule several
million negroes without giving them
participation in the affairs of govern
ment, therefore no one can reasonably
object to annexing the Philippines and
subjecting the islanders to a rule in
which they shall have no voice. In
other words. if a strong man bear up
under burden of hundred pounds,
he may walk as erect and step out as
briskly with half-ton upon his shoul-

THE New York Sun tells of one Mis-
souri, Republican who is not as ardent
an advocate o: the protective tariff as
he used to be. In telling of the arri-
val of the American liner, St. Louis,
at the New York harbor recently, and
the troubles the passengers had with
the custom house officials that paper
says:
The most unfortunate and indignant
of the passengers was Mr.. Charles H.
Wells of St. Louis. He is a Grand
Army man and has been voting the
Republican ticket all his life. This is
what seemed to hurt him most after
the inspectors and appraisers were
through with him. Mr.. Wells forgot
to declare some canned fish and a bot
tie of whiskey which he had in his
trunk. The inspectors discovered them
in their delving and the appraisers put
duty on the goods of $4.75, whereat
Mr.. Wells objected long and loudly.
Have l got to pay $4.75 for that
stuff?" be inquired. 'sWell, that beats
me. This is too much. Why, I've
been voting the Republican ticket out
there in Missouri ever since l could.
but I've done now if the party is going
into this sort of business. I'll never
vote the Republican ticket again, and
I'll WORK against the party. I'm going
to turn one vote for every cent I've got
to pay. That's Ats votes. amt it?
I'll teach them to annoy American citi-
zens this way"
The poor inspectors shrugged their
shoulders and tried to explain that it
wasn't their fault, but Mr.. Wells went
away refusing to be Modified.
Mr.. w. is tur-r-raitor and a Cop
perhead! One of the cardinal articles
of faith in Missouri Republicanism is
that ''the foreigner pays the tax" 1t
has been proclaimed by the bosses and
echoed and re-echoed for years by
every 2x4 cuckoo in the State. and
shall the disgruntled testimony of such
sordid wretch prevail against it?
Never!-by the shade of the late la
mented Home Market, never!

START MADE BEFORE ONE
O'CLOCK.
President Dole Sails the Bonnie Dundee
and Judge Wilcox the Hawaii.
Marian and Hawaii Entered.

Today's yacht race deceived many
people who expected the usual late
start and gathered at the Pacific Mail
wharf to see the race begin. The yachts
were off one minute before o'clock, the
announced starting time, and most of
those who came to see the start got on
ly a glimpse Of the yachts in the dis
tance toward Waikiki.
c. b. Wilson, Captain Griffiths OF the
Albert and Captain Campbell were the
starters. The yachts entered were the
Bonnie Dundee, Gladys, Hawaii and
Marian. President Dole sailed his yacht,
the first named. The Gladys was sailed
by Mr.. Hebron, the Hawaii by Judge
Wilcox and the Marian by Mr.. Light
foot and DR.. Humphris
On the return from Waikiki the
Gladys had the lead and by the time
the other end of the course was reached
she was far ahead and it appeared very
doubtful that the Bonnie Dundee,
which was second, could overtake her.

The charge is libelling Chief Justice

Exceptions are taken to an article
which appeared in the Volcano on Sun

per was quite long and included a copy
of the Objectionable article. When the

-FOUR YACHTS IN THE RACE RUN DOWN BYA STEAMER
ALAMEDA WRECKS TWO FISHING
JUNKS.
One Chinaman Killed or Drowned and
Eleven Others Have a Long Swim for
Their Lives.

While turning around the spar buoy
to enter port this morning the steamer
Alameda cut down two fishing junks.
Twelve Cinnamon were precipitated in
to the water and one was drowned. The
body was not recovered and may never
be, as the accident occurred in the
shark district outside the reef.
Eye witnesses of the accident say the
D1ats were just beyond the spar buoy
and that the fisherman were taking up
| a net. The Alameda bore directly down
upon them. one of the boats was cut in
two. The other was caught beneath
the bow of the steamer and brought in
! to port in that position. The nets were
also trailing from the bow
| Some blame the Cinnamon and others
! the steamer. On that account Il coro-
ner's jury will this afternoofklinvesti-
| gate the matter. 1t is stated by some
that the Cinnamon, as is usual with
them, ignored the approach of the
steamer and did not make a move until
| it was right upon them. Others think
the steamer could have avoided the ac-
cident by stacking speed. They bring
| up the question of right of way between
! individuals and ships and suppose a
case in which the Cinnamon were with
out oars, or were too i'll to get out of
! the way, or were water logged
Just before the steamer struck the
| boats all of the Cinnamon except the
| struck out for land. The victim of the
accident stayed with his boat and was
either killed or drowned. He was not
, seen after the collision. A few hours
later two of the fishermen reported at
the police station that eleven men had
landed safely but that the one left be-
hind was surely dead. The eleven were
picked up and brought ashore by Cap
tain Saunders pilot boat.
The officers and passengers of the
Alameda stated that the accident was
due to the efforts of the Cinnamon to
save their nets. They were trying to
haul in the nets when the steamer bore
down upon them and had underestl-
mated the speed at which she was go
ing. The struggles of the twelve men
in the water caused a good deal of eX-
Citement among those of the Alameda's
passengers who We're up. The man who
was lost was seen trying to swim for n.
time after the accident, as the Alameda
glided on. He kept atlOat for a few mo-
ments and then sank.
Deputy Marshal Chillingworth stared
that he would hold a coroner's inquiry
whether the body was recovered or not,
as death could be proved. He did not
feel sure that the steamer was un-
blamabe for the accident and, at any
rate, wanted the matter cleared up.

Cane Planting Will go on.

The suit of John Emmeluth against
the Holt Estate for the enforcement of
an option or bargain to lease the lands
at Waialua to the former for the pur-
pose of starting sugar plantation has
been compromised and will never reach
the court.
The Holt Estate returns to Mr.. EN-

by him, together with $26 20 for ex-
penses. Mr.. Emmeluth signs a COM
plete sa abstraction of claim and the mat
ter is there closed.
1t is not expected that this turn of
events will have any material effect on
the sugar plantation project. Cane
planting has already progressed a bit
and 1t is understood that the matter
will be pushed forward. The Holt Es-
tate adjoins the Waialua plantation.

HARTWELL is NAMED.
Will Represent the People of Hawaii in
Washington.

Judge Alfred S. Hartwell has been
chosen by the Government to represent
the Territory of Hawaii unofficially in
Washington during the coming Con-
gress. The announcement was made
yesterday afternoon. The appointee
will leave for his post in time for the
opening of Congress in December.
The delegate is admittedly a fit man
for the duties anticipated for him. For
over thirty years he has been closely
identified with Hawaiian interests, po-
litical and business. Besides, he has a
sphere of influence in the United States
that will add to his value as worker
in the cause of this country as rep
resentative of the people at large.
1t is not impossible that another, OF
perhaps two other, representatives OF
distinct interests may be sent before
Congress adjourns to work for specific
legislation.
