The latest reports from the seat
Of war in China possess ray OF
hope for the safety of the foreign
ers in Peking. The European
powers are slow to believe favor.
able reports from available sources
ct this time. If the disturbance
at the alien capital turns out to be
only an iusurrection the action Of
the allied powers is not supported
by international law. In fact they
are placed in the Of light Of az
gressors without justification, in
stead of the heather government
having committed an outrage the
christian powers have acted like a
great mob without Justification.
The American commander in Chi.
nese waters acted upon the pre-
sumption that state of war
against the Chinese government
did not exist. President Mckinley
was very conservative, he did not
sacrifice national interests or place
American lives in jeopardy by his
course; but preserved natural dig
nifty by strong, safe course. Sec.
rotary John Hay has shown the
great civilized world that the
United States is the most stable
government in the world and that
the greatest craftsmanship is in

IN the Chinese muddle. With all
our conscious strength we are aloof
from the complicating conditions
OF this hasty action which now
must bear the semblance of an
allied mob aiding the Boxers in a
revolutionary force impelled by the
worst possible sentiment to over
throw the Chinese government.
Our government alone has acted
upon the presumption that the
chinese government was fighting

and only revolutionary force Of

eminent. The latest news makes
the position very enviable. This

sort OF galvanized iron roof OF TIE sur
face Of our happy isles.
Turn to this island. Take the waianae
mountains Some decades ago they
were clothed in tree growth. Around
the gap by which one was accustomed
to ride to the village from Honolulu,
there was dense forest. Go there to-
day and there is not a tree to be seen,
only a bare hillside. The springs which
gave one so many pleasant drink of
water, are dry now, and .hc streams
in which one would pick up a brace of
teal at every fifty or hundred yards,
have practically ceased to exist.
The time is at hand when the agricul-
tural people of the Territory will have
to meet the question of forests and wa
ter supply in a very practical manner.
1t will cost them money, but it can be
done. We have seen what a little
planting on the slopes above Makiki
has done. What we need Is systematic
planting over the mountain slopes of
the whole of the islands We need to
clothe the bare ribs which in our greed
and our folly we have unclothed. II will
take years, but it can be done, and 1t
will have to be done. We have carried
the denuding policy to the utmost, we
must now look to anti-denuding and
the careful conservation of our water
supply.

CUI BONO?

Politics. We are very full of politics
Just now. The men from the outside
districts are stirred up and there is a
fever of political excitement in a large
number of homes. That there should be
strong interest taken in such matters
is a sign that the people are alive to
their wants, and they think they are
ready to take their share in the burden
OF governing and guiding. There can
be no better ideal than this. 1t has been
the ideal of every one who has framed
a constitution for the past couple of
thousand years.
There probably never was more ex-
cellent aim of democracy and perhaps
to a great extent a realization of it than
in the Greek cities and their colonies.
They thoroughly thought out questions
which are now troubling us, and they
worked the problems to their finality. 1t
Is, perhaps, not very satisfactory to us,
in view of the many questions which
are coming before us, both local and
widespread,-one was tempted to say
surprised, which is a convenient word
and, after ALL in it's origin means mere
ly the idea of rule-not very satisfac-
tory to know that these questions have
been argued, have been fought over,
and had lives sacrificed, have had fami-
lies wrecked, have had, in fact all the
ills that flesh is heir to, and never yet
has the solution been found. The solu-
ton proposed year ago, or proposed
hundred years ago or thousand years
ago has never solved. 1t is the effort
of man to reach the inattainable, to
solve the problem of eXistance. He is
only squaring the circle and however
accurately his calculations may be,
there is always a decimal fraction left,
which no amount of calculation can get
rid of.
And so we come back to modern po-
litics. We get excited over them. We
waste our substance and our brains
over them, we win victories which in
turn become defeats, and we think we
are doing great things. We believe in
ourselves, but what a little it is to be-
lieve in. Even the opinion of our. gen
GRAFTON is changed before our genera
ton has died out The fact is we waste
time over politics which might be very
much better applied.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1900-09-12
NOT EASY.

The Chinese question does not become
any easier of solution as the time goes
on. 1t only seems to be supplying pro-
blems for people who do not understand
them to solve. In this, of course, is the
real difficulty. AS a fact no country
and no government understands the
Chinese question. The Germans think
they do. The British have for years
thought that they did. The French
have an idea upon the question, and the
American knows he has the whole poll
cy of China in his mental grasp.
1t sounds we'll, but there is always
the astute Asiatic sitting imperturbable
and ready to talk, and to turn truth to
| falsehOod and falsehood to truth, and
neither European nor American is in it,
The result of diplomacy between China
and the outside world will as likely or
not be disastrous to the latter. On the
one side perhaps, bar Russia, and that
is a semi-Asiatic country,yo have per-
fectly honest faith, what the powers
say they will do they will stick to. But
the Chinese, No! They will try and
gain victory from defeat, however
crawling the victory may have been,
and they will misinterpret and miscon-
strue and equivocate till the peace
that is patched up will prove any thing
but satisfactory.
There is one hope in the matter, how
ever, and that comes from Japan. The
Western powers may be fooled conse-
derably by the. Chinese, but the Japan
csc understand the Chinese character
thoroughly and are not to be hoodwink-
ed by specious arguments and oriental
duplicity. If there is to be satisfac-
! tory outcome from the present Chinese
situation it will be found to depend very
| largely on the astuteness of the Japan
csc diplomats and statemen. The mere
fighting is not the hardest part of the
Chinese trouble by any means. The final
settlement is what will prove the hard
est nut to crack.
