consultations and alliances, showing the

people have the same wants and the
same desires as those on the mainland,
and that this is really the home of a
Western civilization as advanced as
can be found on the mainland; we shall
have done ourselves a great amount
of good and shall have created an i'm
preston that will be of value to us.
The Omaha Exhibition, taking place
as it does, just before Congress meets,
may be used as a means of great bene-
fit to us, or it may be mis-used as a
means of deteriment. If the line is
taken which will present us to our flu
ture fellow citizens, as we now are, it
will be for our good, and the scheme
should have the hearty support of our
merchants and citizens in general. But
if we are to be represented as a raree
show to feed the curiosity of the
groundlings with grass houses, or the
prurient with hulas, far from having
support there should be distinct oppo-
sition. Which course is going to be
pllrsued?
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-05-08
. OFFICIAL STATEMENT.

A few months ago there was a strong
effort made to show that the merchants
here were importing large stock Of
goods to have on hand prior to the
final extension of the United States
tariff laws to this territory. The Star
obtained data from the Collector-Gen-
eral of Customs, before the publication
of his report, which showed that this
was far from the case. When the re-
port was published it was evident that
the charge was untenable. There had
been an increase in the imports GER
tainly, but there had been no loading
up of goods.
The increase was quite eXplainable.
New enterprises had been started and
a large amount of machinery had been
ordered. The bulk Of the increase had
been ordered before annexation had
taken place. Even had the merchants
loaded up, which they did not,
they would have only been following in
the footsteps of the great firms on the
mainland not so long ago. When the
increased duties on goods from the
Orient were going to be put on, on the
mainland, there was a race across the
Pacific to get goods landed at San
Francisco and other west coast ports,
before the new rate came into force.
The telegraph wires were hot with
messages ordering teas, silks and other
valuable products, and steamers like
the China and the Rio and others prob
ably never carried larger or more valu-
able cargoes. There was the example,
but it was not followed here.
The report of Consul General Hay
wood is probably more far-reaching
than any thing that has yet been pub
lished in refutation of the charge
made He has given the figures, which
it is needless to recapitulate here, but
his comments are eminently to the
point and will be found in another
column. Published as this informa-
ton has been in the Consular reports,
1t goes to every newspaper of import
ance throughout the United States, and
will receive notice from North to South
and East to West. 1t is satisfactory to
have an erroneous statement contra
dicted from an official source outside
of our own Government.

The subject of school fees is calling
forth much discussion. There was con-
siderably more truth than poetry in
the statement of a gentleman recent

poor would not accept scholarships, but
would, by practicing self-denial, man.
