..Missionariesr Pay the Bills.

Now. the missionaries are those
who have succeeded: everybody is a
missionary here who is respectable and
prosperous and pays his bills. II is
perfectly natural that those who have
failed to make their way in business
and have become dissatisfied. should
array themselves against the men OF
industry. wealth and position. IL hap
pens in every community. and there
are always plenty of people who SYM
pathize with the unsuccessful, and
plenty of perfectly true things which
may be said against the people whose
combined wishes are put into opera
tion-especially IL these persons be
considered individually rather than as
political group.
The situation is not one OF recent
origin, or OF sudden manufacture; ii
grew up inevitably with the growth of
the country. First came the mission
aries proper. chiefly New England
men, who brought their families and
devoted their lives to- ChristianiZing
the natives. They were given large
tracts of land by the ruler OF the coun-
try at that time, a king who believed
that il would be TO the lasting benefit
of himself and his people to give these
white men-to whom, indeed, he had
reason to be GRATEFUL stake ia the
country. Their descendants developed
these pieces of land. bought others
and intermarried. They became a part
of the country, and saw in IL their per-
manent home. In course of time came
other missionaries with their families
also business men, who introduced
commerce and agriculture, and made
beginning of building up the islands

THE POLITICAL SITUATION
Special Correspondent Gives an In
teresting Review Of the Con-
ditions in the Islands.

In a letter in the Boston Herald of
March IS, Herbert p. Williams, its
special correspondent here, writes at
length OF matters Hawaiian Mr.. Will
liams, who was formerly literary editor
of the Herald. has been in Honolulu
some time. He is a keen observer and
a student of affairs. The Herald's ar
tiele is as follows:
HONOLULU, II. l., March 1.-The
political situation in Hawaii at present
is not just like anything We have in
the United States, and probably not
like the condition anywhere else in
the world. 1t is a matter OF great in
terest to Americans, partly on account
of its uniqueness, partly on account oil
its cleanliness and the broad divisions
between the ins and outs, and partly
because il is at one of its most critical
periods. What the future of these ISL
ands will be depends to considerable
extent upon the action which Congress
will take on the Cullom bill; that is 70
say. on the exact form in which the
bill will be finally passed. But not
wholly, for the conditions are too sta
BILE. the country has been too long set
tied. and the kamaainas, or. old resi-
dents, are too fully versed in all the
conditions with which they have 70
deal, including both soil and climate
on the one hand, and natives and Ash
atics on the other. to be readily thrown
of their balance.

Honolulu's Great Future.

This community has a great future
before it; but it has also had a long
and eventful past, politically as well as
commercially, and IL is thoroughly well
developed in the present-so well that
there will be no land to be taken up
by intending settlers until President
Mckinley raises the embargo. In fact,
there are practically no opportunities
here now for new people. except such
as could. by their brains or their bust
ness ability. make their way in any
community in the United States. AS
man said to me the other day: We
don't need any more city people, but,
when the Government lands are once
more purchasable, there will be oppor-
tunities for many good men to come
down here and develop the agricuitur-
al resources and opportunities OF the
islands in many directions, especially
in the cultivation of all sorts of fruits
and vegetables, which we now import
from California, having neglected
them for sugar. There is a splendid
market for these products here. Practi-
cally everything that can be grown in
both the temperate and the tropical
zones will thrive in these islands If
you choose the right location, and
there is every reason why we should
produce our own market supplies

Position of Respectable People.

HOSlIlOu Ol hespeCtdDie EeOpie.
The first thing the visitor to Homo
lulu finds out. when he begins to take
an interest in the political situation,
is that nearly all the respectable peo-
pie are on the side of the Government.
On the other side is the opposition, en-
dowed as yet with no policy of its own,
but animated by the desire to oppose
and to criticise what does not receive
it's approval. 1t is a thoroughly good
thing for a government or a party in
power to have an opposition to criti-
else all its acts; il helps to keep it's
forces together, and it makes it careful
to examine its own measures from the
point of view of people who are dis
posed to object to them If possible. In
the present instance il seems to have
worked very well; everything is done
in an open and above-board fashion,
and the Government relies for public
approval of it's measures, not on party
fealty, but on their commenting them
selves to the good sense of the cOmmu-
nifty as a whole. If any one does not
like them. his objections or suggestions
will not be denied a fair hearing.
Things are not done secretly, but
frankly and without reservation, and
TIE dNAS vi tic dlt do I'M
IN to be criticised from within the par
~ as from without.
Doubtless the opposition contains
some good men, who have drifted into
it. perhaps. from coming into CONNER
cial conflict with the sugar factors and
other big firms, or from some cause
more or less accidental. But IL con-
tains no men OF genuine executive
ability. The formation OF anything re-
sembling "A government from the men
in its ranks is not thinkable. There
are plenty OF hungry and thirsty Office
seekers among them, men who hold
forth unfortunately against the Govern
ment because they have failed to get
office under il. But they have abso-
lutely nothing to offer of a positive ma
ture in the way either of a different
policy or of a modification of the pres
ent one. They are not constructive.
Opposition for Corruption.
wish to be perfectly fair TO this op-
position, but the truth is that 1t is a
coalescence of all the disaffected ele-
ments in the community, and that its
members could not agree on a policy
for three days, unless it were a policy
OF corruption. The opposition Is pure
ly negative in its activities and its
functions. The fact that the riff-raff
Of the community belong to it does
not, of course, detract from the moral
worth of the few good men who have
allied themselves with It; but suitable
executive or official timber is not found
among its adherents. Despite it's dem
agogues and its political mischief
makers. this opposition is of real use in
its place. which is just the place it
occupies. but il is a uonentity so far
