Austin's Hawaiian weekly. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1899-190?, 1899-09-30

Much of the weakness of the Washington
administrations Philippine
70 tte Penubiicsr policy is tractable to ex-Sec
PARTY retary Alger, and it has
been a matter for wonder
that such a bungler has been permitted to
remain so long in the cabinet. True, tits con-
ceded that Mr.. Mckinley is So trimmer
and he doubtless feared to stir up opposition
to his nomination as the Republican candidate
for presidential honors in 1900. This view
seems to sustained by the fact that Mr.. Alger
was not retired from office until he had open
ly joined hands with the bitterest opponents
of the administration. In the meantime, while
the President was trimming his political sails
at home, the Philippine war was languishing
and many brave boy sent to an untimely
grave without anything of moment being ac-
complished.
The Philippine war and the policy of ex-
pansion the Republican party is responsible
the administration must show that the Philip
pines have been pacified, or, that the war is
being so aggressively prosecuted that pacii-
cation must result, and that the policy of ex-
panson will be successful. The RESPONSE
bility for making such showing falls largely
upon the shoulders of Secretary Root. He
must repair the errors of Mr.. Alger, and
restore confidence in the administration. This
is his duty to his party. If he fails, the Re-
publicans will surely be defeated at the COM
ing election and the nation dishonored for
the Democratic policy contemplates the igno-
minious withdrawal of the army from Manila,
which would mean nothing less than national
dishonor, making the United States the laugh
ing stock of the whole world. The issue is
as important now for national honor as it was
in 1896, when Bryan and the Chicago plat
form pledged the nation to fiat money and

drlfted into trust organizations. Anti-expan-
sion means the withdrawal of the army from
the Philippines, the REIMBURSEMENT of terri
tory won and purchased from Spain, and
national dshonor.
The influence of these mainland political
issues on the future
influences OF Mainland prosperity of Hawaii, is
issues on hawaii. far more important than
to the casual observer. The acquisition of
Hawaii was the first act of the Republican
expansion policy, and now that we are an
intregal part of the territory of the United
States and cannot help ourselves, it is exceed
ingly important that the policy of expansion
shall be continued, at least, as far as the
Pacific Ocean is concerned
Hawaii is the strategic point within the
"sphere of influence of the United States
in the Pacific, which now extends to the very
shores of Asia. With the Philippines also as
American territory, the trade of the United
States in the Pacific will be largely increased.
The cable and the Nicaraguan canal will be a
certainty, placing these Islands directly in the
path of the commerce of the Eastern Main
land, Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines,
besides a large portion of the commerce be-
tween Europe and Asia, that will come by
way of the canal. The withdrawal from the
Philippines proposed by Democratic anti
eXpans1OnlStS would be lasting detr1ment to
Hawaii, inasmuch as it would throw the
expediency of both the cable and canal in
doubt, and indefinitely postpone the looked
for expansion of Hawaii.
If the territorial form of government is ex-
tended to these Islands
u...,y. r,.s. we will be entitled to
po,,.c., I,a.t two delegates in each of
the National conven-
tons of 1000. This will
be the first opportunity of ascertaning how the
people will line up in the two great National
parties. In fact, as territory it is only through
the National conventions that we can have any
influence upon National politics. We can only
cast Our little mite for or against a nominee for
President
President Mckinley will undoubtedly be a cam
didate for reelection as President before the Re-
publican National convention. If so, he cannot
despise even two votes in the convention They
may be exceedingly important when the time
comes. The way these votes go will depend
largely upon who is appointed by Mr.. Mckinley
as Governor of these Islands. In fact, it depends
entirely upon President Mckinley whether there
is to be local fight on in Hawaii or not. God
forbid that this beautiful land should again be rent
asunder by local dssenson. We are, to be sure,
polyglot people, but surely there can be found
man at home who can make coalition of all dis

THE GROWING CABINET.

At least two new Cabinet positions
loom into view. We are pretty certain
to have colonial secretary, and quite
likely TO have a secretary Of commerce
and industry The Philadelphia Times
worries itself into a fever over its
groundless fear that the places may be
filled by incapables-just as the edi-
torial chair of the Times was filled in
this particular instance. The Times
says:
There would be much to be said in
favor Of this proposed department if
assurance could be furnished that a
man familiar with the problems Of
commerce and industry would always
be placed at its head. The commerce
OF the country Is making tremendous
strides and It could doubtless be fur
ther advanced by a wise administra-
ltion of our consular system and prop
er revision and administration OF our
navigation laws. With an efficient
business man of the first rank to ad-
minister such a department it could be
made OF great service to our CONNER
cial and manufacturing interests. AS
asylums for mere politicians seeking
maintenance at the public expense we
have quite enough departments already
and II the proposed Department OF
Commerce and Industries is to be sim
lply one more Of this sort its creation Il
mot worth while. It is easy tC
understand that such a department
wisely administered. would be Of greai
advantage, and Senator Frye SHOULD
devote his wisdom and energy to tn,
framing of a measure that will insur,
such an administration if he wants his
bill to become a law.
Now, how utterly nonsensical is al
such balderdash Cabinet positions ar,
always filed by men whose abilities
have made them conspicuous; and t,
oppose creation of a department thi
necessity for which and the benefits o
which are admitted, placing opposition

IN defending the Delaware law for
creation Of trusts j. Harvey Whiteman,
addressing the State Grange, admitted
that one tendency OF the statute viii bel
to threaten the state with disastrous
extravagance. He apprehends that it's
invitation to organize corporations are
so entcing that fees will overflow the
treasure boxes of the state and induce
useless If not reckless and harmful ex-
pendltures. Mr. Whiteman said.
"That a considerable sum of money
will be obtained annually by the State
of Delaware from this source seems
certain. There surely can be no more
reasonable and fair resource for the
maintenance and support OF the state
government than this one. The corpo-
ration not only finds protection at the
hands of the law, but. as we have al
ready seen, derives its being from 1t.
