TONGA.

The Tongan is practically the last ma
tive Polynesian government to survive
the European lust for empire and the
demands of commerce, for stable gov
eminent. How long Tonga will be able
to maintain herself as such is a ques-
ton, perhaps more interesting than i'm
portant. But the latest news from this
faraway and isolated spot on the broad
Pacific is significant.
The Tonga correspondent of the Sa-
moa Weekly Herald writes that on
April 10, H. M. S. Porpoise arrived at
Tonga, bringing Basil Thomson, Her
Britannia Majesty's plenipotentiary ex-
traordinary to His Royal Highness, the
King of Tonga. The envoy brought as
presents to the king a portrait of Her
Majesty, and a sword with Her Majes-
tvs name on it, a present direct from
the Queen herself. Mr.. Thomson's mis-
sion is relative to the convention be-
tween the United States, Great Britain
and Germany "for the settlement of the
Samoan and other questions" But the
correspondent shrewdly suggests that
the real mission is to secure from King
George of Tonga, an acknowledgment
that Her Majesty the Queen of Great
Britain and Ireland, and Empress of
India is his suzerain. Continuing, the
correspondent says that this would give
Great Britain all the power she re-
quires, and need interfere but very lit
tie with the internal affairs of Tonga
and "as for Tonga, it would be better
than to be tackled on to some crown or
other colony, and thus be but an ap-
panage Of an appanage."
From Tonga, Mr.. Thomson will go to
Nine or Savage Island, his mission there
being similar to his mission to Tonga

With the benefits of annexation we
shall have to bear some Of the Burdens
of the great nation of which we are
now a part. The war taxes which were
imposed by congress to meet the extra
ordinary expenses of the Spanish
American war are still in force and
with the coming into effect of the Ter
ritorial act we shall have to bear our
share of them. AS it was the Spanish
American war that brought us annex
alton, it is at least poetical justice, if
not altogether pleasing, that we shall
have to bear some of the cost of that
war.

Ester, found guilty of manslaughter
in the killing of Togo Jackson, has been
sentenced to twenty years imprison-
ment. Honolulu being a seaport town,
constantly growing in commerce, with
an increasing number of ships coming
here each year, cannot hope to escape
certain element easily led to violence,
and must therefore expect to have oc-
casional crimes of violence occur. 1t is
satisfactory, however, to know that our
courts do not allow trials of persons
accused of crime to drag along through
unconscionable delays. 1t is only about
two months since the crime of which
Ester has been convicted was commit
ted, In many cities it would have been
twice or three times as long before the
trial would have been ended.

The public which is interested in art,
and in the educational and refining in
fiuence of art, should not forget that
the Kilohana Art League exhibit is
open every day to the public and will
be for nearly a month. The Kilohana
Art League has faithfully done its part.
1t has provided an exhibit highly cred
liable as a whole, and in which there
are a number of pictures that are of
very high rank. At it's own expense it
has gotten the exhibit together, and it
freely offers the benefit of it to the pub
lie. There is no admittance fee charged
this year. Everybody is invited to in
spect the exhibit. No greater service
could be rendered than for the teachers
in the various schools, public and priv
ate, to call the attention of their pupils
to it and to encourage their attendance.
Such an exhibit thus freely offered is
of incalculable benefit to the commun-
ity If the community will only do it's
part. In no way can appreciation of
art be so well inculcated as by visits
to collections of worthy pictures.

THE LEGISLATURE.

The people of the Territory of Hawaii
are showing everywhere a sense of their
new relations and responsibilities as
citizens of the Great Republic. Both
Republicans and Democrats intend to
be represented in their respective ma
tional conventions which James Bryce,
member of Parliament has declared are
in many respects the most potent and
important political gatherings in the
world. Without doubt, representation
in these gatherings will bring to the
people Of Hawaii a new and ennoblng
sense of the value of free institutions
and representative government.
1t will rebound greatly to the advan-
tage of the territory and it's people If
this aroused sentiment shall take the
form of determination to make repre-
sentative government locally the best
government the islands ever had, and
the ideal local representative govern
ment.
With the territory, aside from the
delegate in congress who will have no
vote, representative government can
go higher than the legislature. There
fore to the selection of a legislature
the most patriotic and disinterested
efforts of all citizens ought to be given
The first legislature of the Territory of
Hawaii will have devolvng upon it
duties requiring a very high degree of
constructive craftsmanship. Practical
1y the entire system of local govern
Inent will have to be reconstructed.
There will be the question of county
organization and municipal govern
ment. Many of our revenue laws will
have to be remodeled to make them
conform to our new conditions. The
judiciary system will have to be thor
Dughly examined and doubtless chang
ed in some respects. So will the re-
venue system, for while some expendi-
lures which have heretofore been re-
quired of the government of Hawaii
will no longer be required, and we will
thus be relieved of some burdens of
taxation, some of our sources of reve-
nue. have also been taken over by the
federal government. We shall require
good financiering ability in our first
legislature.
In short instead of a governmental
system in full running order, we shall
have a new pattern of government, al
most entirely new government machin-
cry, and it is machinery that the legis-
lature will have to adapt and arrange
and provide for.
We need a Legislature of the highest
ability in it's membership

The Treasury Department has ruled
that the Territorial act goes into effect
on June IA. AS the question of the spe-
cific day when acts of Congress go into
effect is one on which often hangs the
collection of much revenue, the Treas
to make rulings upon it. The principles
of computation are therefore well es-
tablished in this department and it's
rulings are always consistent. For this
reason all other departments take their
action from that of the Treasury De
partment, and it may be considered as
settled that June IA is Admission Day.

BIG FREIGHTERs

An interesting fact brought out by the
report on the Suez Canal traffic is that
larger vessels are now employed
in freighting, and of this we
have gained some knowledge by
the mighty freighters which have en-
tered our own harbor. The theory of
the department store has been applied
10 freighters. One big vessel properly
constructed can carry as much as four
or five small freighters, and she does
not require as many men to handle her
as are comprised in the five crews, nor
does she require as much coal as the
five vessels consume.
This point is made clear in the fact
that the greater number OF steamers
that ever have passed through the

Russia is gradually worming her way

baptized the other day. AS all Greek
christians look to the Car Of Russia as
the protector of their religious rights,
it is very easy to see how the Corean
converts will be taught to look upon the
autocrat of all the Russias. 1t was the
protection of Greek christians which
brought about the Crimean war.

tonnage was S.Gs9. o2o This was in 1891.
Last year the number OF steamers was
3.4SO. or 726 steamers less but the ton
mage was 9.S98,o22, or about l.2O0.O 900
tons more. II Is needless to add that
both in tonnage and dues the suez
Canal surpassed in 1899 all previous
years. The career Of the Nicaragua
Canal will be similar to that OF the

in United states bottoms.
