promised lively controversy, but it was

good business propositions, and those
who stand by their investments will do
better than those who buy and sell
partly for a little speculation. Money
has been made here in the past, It will
be made here in the future.
That there may come a short period
of want of confidence is probable, espe-
cially will this be the condition just be-
fore Congress meets. Then the over
sanguine will as like as not suffer from
what is vulgarly called cold feet" and
the under sanguine will take a lugu-
brious joy in saying 81 told you So" but
our posperity will weather that storm.
1t need not worry us because we can
see it coming and we know the causes
of 1t, and what we expect ought by no
means to alarm us. Our prosperity has
come to stay.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-05-30
1T HAS COME TO STAY.

There are those who consider our
present prosperity as evanescent. There
are ever such in the community, men
who of natural temperament lag be-
hind the times. Again there are those
who are too confident, and have no
thought that aught of i'll may arise.
Between these extremes, there is the
true middle course, which is followed
by the bulk of mankind.
Our prosperity is not going to be
eVanescent. 1t has been built up on no
fictitious foundation, upon no bed of
sand. AS in all great movements there
may be some froth, but the bulk of the
enterprises are solid and good PROPOSE
tons and they will stand a pretty good
shaking before they would go under
Our enterprises have been built up by
ourselves upon our own money. The
plantations are paying great dividends
at present, but they might pay very
much smaller dividends and yet be re-
muncrative concerns. The, plantations
are not in,,debt. ~ What ever profit rs
made now, does not go to pay the in
terest upon money loaned from a dis
tant country, it goes to pay the per-
cen:age upon money belonging here.
We may thankfully say that our pros
perity is solid. We can go further and
claim that our prosperity will be yet
greater in the future than 1t is now. It
is difficult for us to realize that our
prosperity which we hoped and wished
for is really with us, and it is thus that
we are distrustful of it.
That there may be some foolish
schemes spring uR in time, is true, but
up to the present in spite. of adverse
criticism there has been nothing of a
wild cat character. The schemes are

San Francisco has done a graceful
thing in preparing to erect a statue to
Dewey. But for the gallant admiral's
pluck in boldly Drawing the hidden dan
ger of torpedoes, and submarine mines,
boldly sailing into Manila bay and des-
troying at one blow the Spanish fleet.
the whole West coast of the mainland
in general and San Francisco in parti-
cular, would have been in a constant
state of alarm, over possible descent
from Spanish warships. Had a swift
cruiser or two escaped, the amount OF
damage done to commerce would have
been enormous. 1t might have had no
particular influence upon the outcome
of the war, but it would have ruined
many of the San Franciscans. There is
every reason to honor Dewey in this
part of the world.

The opinion of people at large upon
the proposed parallel railway line in
Hawaii has been pretty freely express
ed and the Cabinet knows by this time
that a franchise of this kind is not
looked upon with favor AS far as the
public in concerned it will not be bene-
fitted any more than have similar lines
given benefit in the United States. The
final results of such lines have been
the paying up of cash frJm the public's
pocket. We would not think twice
about establishing parallel line to the
present Oahu railroad, which is now III
good running order, and is beginning
20 pay. Any such scheme would be
frowned on at once. The same argu-
ment holds good in Hawaii, where the
men who are first in the field, have all
the hard work and trouble before them,
which the Oahu railway has passed
through Why should the Cabinet as
sist in nipping an enterprise in the bud ?
The first franchise should be protected
