THE OPIUM TRADE.

Mr.. Lyle A. Dickey does not meet
the point raised by the Advertiser re-
garding the use of opium In the United
States.
The importation Of II is permitted
by the Federal laws OF the United
States. II Is subject to duty, Just
as there are duties on the value OF
vegetables imported from Canada, II
may be introduced. In spite Of any
State legislation, into any State or Ter
ritory. as freely as bread or meat, The
Federal government which Is supreme
In the regulation OF commerce, refuses
10 allow any State to regulate the uraf-
ie In Il, or In Intoxicating liquors, so

THE SULU TREATY

The anti-expansion journals say
that the treaty made by the President
with the Sultan OF the Sulu islands Is
a wicked piece of business because It
recognizes and protects slavery In
those islands. Many members from
the Northern States Of the convention
that framed and adopted the American
Constitution, We're opposed to the insti-
tuition OF slavery. But In order to &C.
complish a greater good. they aban-
doned their convictions, and voted to
protect 1t by the Constitution. and II
was SO protected for about seventy
years. 1t established political unity
which was Of more Importance at the
time, than the abolition of slavery, and
left 1t to Time to accomplish reforms
which were impracticable at the time
the Constitution was adopted. The
anti-expansionists are entitled to the
same consideration and fairness that
we claim, who believe in the policy OF
the President. But this argument
against the treaty with the Sultan OF
Sulu, has no force II the makers OF the
Federal Constitution were wise men.

INFLUENTIAL WOMEN.

1t Is reported that the illness of Lady
Salisbury, the wife of the Prime Minis
ter, causes much anxiety in England,
for the reason that II she should die.
NE Marquis OF Salisbury would with
draw from political life and the nation
would be deprived of a great leader.
The Marquis has no ambition to be a
political leader, but his wife, who is n
woman of great intellectual power, and
personal arractiveness, has been his
oOnfdante, and wise counsellor, and
has kept him up TO his best work, just
as Lady Beaconsfield, Lady Palmers-
ton, Lady Randolph-Churchill, Lady
Naylor-Ledyard, and Lady Curzon have
kept, and those OF them now living,
do keep their husbands up to their best
work.

tected by the Constitution in doing SO.
It Is the making Of opium and alco-
holic liquors legitimate articles Of i'm
portation, and sale under the Federal
laws, that has defeated SO many Of the
efforts of different States to prohibit
their use. The Federal laws allow the
sale Of opium in any quantity by for
eign countries to American citizens
wherever they are residing and re-
cognizes it by pacing duty Of only
one dollar per pound upon the crude
article. 1t treats 1t as 1t treats iron
and vegetables md dry goods. IL IL
the policy and practice of the United
States, in this respect, which defeats
the efforts of the States to regulate
or prohibit commerce in injurious ar
ticles. This policy will soon permit
the wholesale importation Of opium
into this port, leaving 1t to the loca
authorities to regulate the sale OF II
The Advertiser believed, with some in
telligent members Of the last legisla
ture, that as the Federal laws per
mitted its importation, and annexation
would take place, system for regulat
ing the sale should be at once care
fully made. Under the coming law
will the next Territorial Legislation
provide for It?
So far as the general question II
&C ncerned, in spite OF the absolute pro
hibition OF the importation and use o
opium, it can be obtained here at an.
moment II wanted and the price aske'
for 1t is paid. The smugglers hav
beaten the moralists at every turn, AM
the police have fiourished over tn
proceeds. The only regulation" in tn
traffic has been that OF the price. an,
that has been generally moderate unde
the circumstances. The moralists O
Norway with common sense, make tn
evil Of intemperance pay for splendi'
charities, hospitals and aims houses
Our local moralists practically prefe
to build up the fortunes OF smugglers
and dealers in opium, and ignore tn
hospitals, and aims houses which ar
so much needed.

dwlndles and dies while there are
many British women who are knovn
to the public ss powerful agents IN 20.
mlcal life. there are many more Amer.
lean women. who are silently guiding
political events In America through
the schools. and In their homes.
The political influence Of American
women il far less ut present than u
should be. but its sturdy growth IL
beyond question. There are many
causes for this present want of serious
influence. while the women are better
educated than the men are, so far as
books make education. they have TO
educate themselves In political affairs,
largely without the aid OF men. The
average voter In America Ia a partisan,
and instructs his wife, II he instructs
her at all, that his party only can save
the country from ruin" This propo-
sition, In the light of history, IL un-
true, and the intelligent woman does
not accept II.
Again, political life In England Is
fashionable, that Is. its social rewards
are great and most attractive. while
in America, as a rule, the best peo-
pie" as they are called, care nothing
for social relations with Senators.
Representatives, and leading politi-
clans, unless they are men who are
really eminent for learning and inte.-
lectual power. The most promising
young men In Great Britain are anxious
to become statesmen. BY far the
largest number of educated and able
young men in America, reject politica
life with contempt.
Honesty, thorough study, and capa
city, count for little in American politi'
cal life, where the people claim to dc
their own thinking, and regard theil
Representatives as mere registers Of
their own judgments. This is the
true and safe theory of democracy
The people are the leaders. VIII,
should they need leaders unless they
really desire the information and judg
ments Of men who are especially train
ed in all those branches of learning
which affect legislation?
The tide will gradually turn, as i
has turned in industrial affairs. The
scholar and specialist will in due time
be wanted blythe people themselves, In
the making Of laws. The American
woman Is doing much, II not as muci
as she might do, to bring about thi'
rational condition of things.

TOO MUCH FLAG.

Sergeant Bates many years ago de-
sired to make the American Flag mani
fest to all nations, and, in execution
Of this patriotic mission, humbly car
ried It around the world on foot, yield
ing only to transportation on ocean
highways. This manifestation gave
extreme satisfaction to those who re-
garded the exhibition Of the bunting
as more creditable to American civil
ization than the exhibition OF pic
turesque national character, and a
reputation for establishing the brother
hood OF man. He was known In all
OF the Grand Army posts, In the
taverns, on the railways upon which he
was usually dead-headed, and the small
BOYS followed him whenever on his
grand tour he entered the towns, COW
cred with dust, but always dramatically
waving the Flag. 1t was said that he
carried an eagle on his back, but the
eagle one day mlstook his ear for a
sandwich, and made humble meal out
portion of 1t. He pronounced the eagle
a treacherous ally Of the Flag, liquid
ated his account with him, and traded
him OF to the keeper OF restaurant.
! Sergeant Bates now announces to his
millions of constituents" that he is
opposed to Imperialism, and has with
drawn his confidence in President Nc
kinleys policy regarding the Philip
pines. He pronounces this policy to be
"hysterical politics, and wicked lingo
ism. He has been indulging in the
dangerous experiment OF thinking"
just as other men do here and else
where who wave the Flag, at stated
intervals during the day, and gener-
ously provide for its being waved dur
ing the night, by electrical energy, SO
that II shall always wave over the just
and unjust. This display OF senti-
ments which often appear in con-
nection with rag-bag brains, he calls
thinking" and It forces him to set
the Flag at half-mast SO long as the
President INDUCES in the policy of ex-
pansion which he calls "militarism
and greed" He believed that Flag
waving was a more valuable educa-
tional force than character building OF
the nation, but thorough and specta-
cular self education, by the use OF the
Flag has fnally landed him among the
anti-expansionists, and warns his fell
low countrymen against erecting nag
stats on any spot that Is not connected
with the Mainland. The moral OF II
Is. that the character Of the man has
more TO do with national progress than
visible gymnastics with the Flag. The
murderer who was executed with the
Flag In his hand. displayed much emo
ton AZ the sight OF Il, but Il had failed

Another suggestion arising out OF
this report Is, the remarkable absence
OF the descendants of the first mis-
sionaries In the missionary field COW
cred by this Association. OF the three
hundred and more children OF the first
missionaries and Of the several hun
dred grandchildren, hardly ten can be
counted who are exclusively engaged
in Evangelical work here. Many OF
these descendants are contributors to
the funds needed for missionary work
and like good citizens in all countries,
contribute some personal service to II.
But the numbers Of those exclusively
devoted to the work, are remarkably
few. For instance the only one OF them
devoted to the 10000 Chinese heather
on the Islands. IL the Rev, +. w.
Damon, and his father, as chaplain
to American sailors, was only a mis-
sionary by brevet though an excellent
one. The Rev. O. ii. Gulick Is the only
person. with missionary" blood, who
is working among the 10000 Japanese

There Is now large amount OF cap
tured opium In the Custom House. 1t

$4,000. The sale OF 1t there, would
b as honest and legitimate as the sale
Of bread. Let the government sell 1t,
and with the proceeds put down an
artesian we'll which will irrigate arid
land that will accommodate fifty or
more desirable families. Then the

trrigated land, there would now be on
this Island, at least, a larger number
of prosperous, happy, intelligent

farmers with their families than the
entire Anglo-Saxon population OF the
Islands at the present moment. The
moralists have been poor statesmen.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1899-09-08
THE OPIUM TRADE.

The enactment of laws governing
this Territory will fortunately close up
che miserable farce OF preventing the
importation OF opium. Some OF the
00lcials OF the Customs House have
been demoraized by IL, and the police
have been also badly demoralized by
Il. In the mean time, and always, the
price of opium has been so cheap that
any one desiring to use 1t, has done So
whether Chinese or native. The I'm
practicable moralists have stoutly pre-
vented a license system, by which the
sale could be regulated, and made to
defray some OF the losses resulting
from the disastrous effects Of the use
Of Il. Now, we are about to come
under laws which will bring crude
opium into the Islands, subject to a
duty Of one dollar a pound. and refined
opium with duty Of six dollars a
pounA. A this Territory will become
On integral part Of the United States,
there can be no discrimination against
its importation, though there may be
against its sale. But the dealers in the
stun will snap their fingers at any law
regulating its sale, when every man In
the Islands can import IL in Original
package" however small 1t may be.
The bill for the government of Ha-
vail, now before Congress, makes no
provision for the sale Of opium by
license, and as every one will have the
right to import it, when the law Is
passed, it will be a cheap commodity.
The last legislature is responsible for
this unfortunate condition OF things.
Some OF its members favored the plan
of license, because 1t was the best
method Of dealing with the evil. The
mOralists, in and out of the legisla-
ture, defeated the measure, although
the Islands were about to be annexed
to the United States, where the people
have made opium as legitimate an arti-
Gle of commerce as grain and iron,
Naturally enough, the moralists are
thrown" In a struggle with the power
and public opinion Of America. wise
mOralist Is one Of the lights Of the
world, but stupid moralist does
things which are as bad as crime
