OPEN DOOR POLICY.
Executive Committee of the Golden
Club Issued IA Manifesto.

Executive Committee of the Golden
Club Issued Manifesto.
London, Jan. 4.-The executive COM
mittee of the Golden club has issued a
manifesto, signed by Jason Farrar
pointing out that the policy of territor-
ial expansion on the part of all the
great powers raises the question of free
commercial intercourse in a new and
extremely important form and renders
it desirable that the club should re-
consider its former attitude of reticence
with regard to foreign affairs. The
manifesto says:
The world is gradually recognizing
that this question cannot be finally set
tied by any nation as a purely domestic
natter
In the opinion of the committee .tsome
understanding regarding colonial policy
must precede any satisfactory results
from the disarmament proposals of the
czar,' and they conclude the manifesto
with this declaration: I'm our judg-
ment the club should hereafter make
more comprehensive endeavors to shape
Great Britain's foreign policy so as to
secure the adhesion of other nations to
the open door policy, especially in the
derelict countries now passing into the
control of strong, civilized powers.'

TROUBLE IN SAMOA
Apia Shelled- International Troubles
Imminent

Passengers blythe Mariposa state
that the situation at Samoa is criti-
cal. Malietoa Tanu has been crowned
king by American influence against
the will of his people.
An uprising took place and Apia
was shelled by the Eaclish and
American warshi-s in port. The
German cruiser withdrew from the
scene of carnage and the German
officials entered protests against the
outrageous action.
Hotel Tivoli was riddled with bull
lets, martial law was declared, and
Apia could be entered by passes
only from Anglo American officials.
The Samoans have fled to the bush
but will remain loyal to their king.
If the report is true, which we can
hardly believe, there is trouble
ahead, and the mailed fist of Will
liam ii. will come down with heavy
and forcible thud.

1t is easy enough for our morning
contemporary to say that the slope
of Punchbowl is not suitable for
cemetery, but no suggestions are
made for better site. The Adver-
tiser represents the wealthy while
through our columns the poor have
chance to be heard. 1t is very
cheap for the Advertiser to talk
about cemetery established out of
town aud to be reached by railroad,
but not word is said of the expen-
ses connected with such last voy-
age of the dead or with subsequent
visit to the graves of loved ones by
surviving friends. The site propos-
ed by Mr.. Dole for graveyard is
sufficiently near to town to be reach
ed on foot by the poor who wish to
shed a tear over the wooden cross
which may mark the grave OF our
beloved, or place lei of flowers on
the little hills which marks the rest
ing place Of child that was the
hope of life. Why talk about res
idence lots, parks and hotels on the
top of Punchbowl. Anyone familiar
with the Islands must realize that
Honolulu has reached it's natural
"expansion," that in ten years from
now there will be residences "to
burn" and that the population
outside of Asiatics--will have reach
ed even the limit anticipated by the
most sanguine optimists. In select
ing a place for the burial of those
who are summoned hence ahead of
us let us consider the poor first. The
rich forget their sorrows-but not
their stocks.

1t would be interesting to learn
why the Punahou schools and the
Kamehameha schools do not observe
Easter and grant vacation to their
pupils. Easter among Christians is
supposed to be the greatest church
holiday and the time when all who
profess Christianity should mourn
and refrain from dealing in matters
mundane. "We don't observe Eas-
ter" said pert school marin who
attends the Central Union Church,
and we presume that she spoke on
behalf of that creed which preteuds
to worship Christ but does not con-
slider the anniversary of his death
for the benefit of mankind, nor of
his rising from the dead on Easter
Sunday, days worthy of commem-
oration. There are children of all
creeds who attend the Punahou
schools, which receive subsidy
from the taxpayers and which should
not be secular in any sense of the
word. To the parents of the pupils
it is pain to see the insulting indif-
ference of the school authorities to-
wards the days that are most sacred
to all true followers OF Christ.
