THE HAWAIIAN VOTE.

II is a matter of regret to the friends
of the Hawaiians that SO many of them
have disregarded the advice of leaders
like Samuel Parker, Prince David and
Charles B. Wilson and stuck to the
separatist movement headed by Robert
Wilcox This movement, even If tenn
porarily successful, can only end in
harm to Hawaiian interests. No one in
Congress would think of interfering
with the rights of native Republicans
and Democrats but who is there to de-
fend the rights or claims of a party
which is not only anti-Republican and
anti-Democrat but anti-American as
well? The organ of the Wilcox party
lately said that Hawaiians sympathized
with Spain in the war with the United
states and had little use for the Am
erican people. Judging from the reports
of the Wilcox-Kaulia meetings this is
the prevailing sentiment, but 1t is a
fatal one in that il must alienats the
sympathies of the public men who
amended the Cullom bill in behalf OF
the natives and will leave the I,depen-
dent party alone and friendless. pitted
against the very Government which
owns the Islands. In such contest as
that the Independents. whatever their
numbers, cannot possibly succeed.
Do Hawaiians never stop to consider
the fact that the leadership of wilcox
has always been a laundering and ,'eck-
less one and that nothing but trouble
has ever come of it? AS result of this
mans first inglorious revolt, the aaois
came into a rich bequest of powec; as
result of the second many ,ool men
were put in jeopardy of gallows AMI the
Queen herself had most unhappy eN-
perience. Are natives prepared 10 AXE
the chances of the anti-haole movement
which Wilcox is now leading? Those
chances are serious-far more so Than
most of our Hawaiian friends imagine.
The true place for the Hawaiians is
in the American parties; of those par
ties the preferable choice is Republican.
We feel reasonably certain that the
native voters will see this as time goes
on. but the pity of it is, arguing from
their own standpoint, that they cannot
see 1t now.

RAILROADlNG A JUDCESHlP.

This community cannot be pleased
at the obvious effort of Judges Hum
phreys and Silliman to name Judge Sill
linan's successor on the Circuit bench
without giving the bar or the citizens
a chance to be heard. These jurists put
their heads together and without let
ting the public into their confidence
sent on to Washington, with Silliman's
resignation, a request for the appoint
ment OF George d. Gear. They knew
that Gear would be the last choice Of
the bar or the people and they under
took to railroad him through without
regard to public opinion. The whole
proceeding smells of ring politics and
reflects little credit on any one con-
cerned.
Upon hearing of the trick that had
been played. leading members of the
bar assembled and Endorsed John t.
De Bolt for the vacancy. Mr.. De
Bolt is a lawyer of parts; has been a
practicing attorney here four or five
years and is President of the Repub-
lican Club of the ninth precinct of the
Fifth District. He is, withal, gentle
man of the highest character. AL
though the recommendation of Gear is
now on it's way we do not think the
President will act hastily and believe
that the local preferences for De Bolt
will be made known to him in ample
time.

A BISHOP MEMORIAL.

4 Mr.. Cunhas idea of a downtown
fpark is one that might be profitably
taken up by some local organization.
Honolulu is badly off for park facilities
In the congested portion of the city,
having nothing but Emma Square
which is a mere cul de sac, rather hard
to find by the uninitiated and not sup
piled with park comforts. Thomas
Square Is too far away. The need of a
downtown park was recognized by the
Government when 1t laid out the marine
tract but the Navy Department took
that and left Honolulu in the lurch.
IL the Bishop Estate out of its abund-
ance would open the Arlington strip as
a public park, saving the splendid trees
there and putting seats among them.
the public would have reason to be
grateful. To be sure the park would
not be very large but it would be con-
siderably larger and better than no
park at all Plenty of people would use
1t; the outlook from the Alexander
Young building would be improved; the
would be enhanced.
Why not have a Bishop Park, a
memorial of Bernice Pauahi Bishop In
the form of the sward on which she
played as a child and the trees under
which she rested? To what more salts
factory uses could the land be put by
the trustees of her estate?

RESTAURANTS MAY
OPEN ON SUNDAY
Soda Water May Be Sold But
Cigars are Put on he
Ia List.

Honolulu is not, after all, to be shut
anticipated. AT the meeting of the Gov
ernor's council yesterday the subject
of closing up the town was discussed
at great length. Governor Dole was
of the opinion that the drug stores
should be permitted to sell soda water
on Sundays, and that the restaurants
should be allowed to serve meals. These
were matters of necessity, he consider
ed, and it was his opinion that no ruleS
should be made forbidding the sale. oil
soda water and the serving Of meals by
restaurants. The selling of cigars was
another matter, he said, for these Were
not necessary, and while it might b.
said that they were comforts they could
be we'll enough done without.
1t was the sense of the meeting that
restaurants should be allowed to re-
main open, and that drug stores should
be permitted to sell soda water but not
cigars. The latter question was brought
up by the Attorney General, and he was
requested to look further into the law
on the matter.
Governor Dole said after the meeting
that the iuea in closing up the differen,
shops about the city was to make the
day day of rest to as many as posi-
bic. IF We permit the sale CT cigars b,
the drug stores, then the cigar stands
will make a protest." he said, land we
shall have to permit them to open
That necessitates the employment OF
more clerks, and as soon as we permit
the cigar stands to open there will BE-
requests from other places to keep open
Necessities and comforts CT life ought
to be obtainable here on Sundays. Soda
water and other soft drinks ought to be
permitted to be sold, for in a hot eli
mate like this they are almost necessi-
ties. But cigars / am less certain about

.SHEARMAN WAS
POPULAR HERE
Death of the Nip>ic Off e,
Who Won hunurs at
Apla, Samoa

Lieutenant-C Commander John A. Shear
man, whose death occurred in Boston on
August 49, was a great fayorite in social
when the Nipsic, after her terrible exper-
fence in the harbor of Apia, Samoa came
into this port disabled. Lieutenant-Com-
r.lander Sherman, then lieutenant, was
one of the most popular of the officers
who remained here While the Nipsic was
on the dry deck.
Probably the most dis ,inguished event
! CT Shearman's career in the navy was
his heroic conduct during the Samoan
hurricane, on March 16, 1889, which result
I ed in the wrecking of three American
men-of-war, tie Trenton, Vandala and
Nipsic, and three German men-of-war,
the Olga, Adler and Eber, and the loss of
I 146 lives. At the tine of that disaster
Sherman was a lieutenant and the SEN
! ior watch officer of the Nipsic, Command
/ er ID. w. Mullan. At the height of the
storm the Nips-c was beached in front of
/ the American consulate at Apia and was
1 in great danger of being pounded to pieces
/ by the waves that We're breaking over her.
! With the assistance of the natives a
hawser was made Iast between the fore
castle of the Nipsic and a tree on shore
and by means of this hawser, with the
further assistance of the natives, nearly
all the officers and crew of the vessel were
Saved. Sherman was the last man to
leave the Nipsc. Comma nder Mullan in
sisted upon being the last, but as Mullan
could not swim Sherman insisted upon
placing his commander in ships cask
and helping him down the dangerous pas
sage in this way. When he had accom-
phshed this Sherman climbed down the
rope by his hands. During the remainder
of the day Sherman did more than any
other officer ashore to rescue the drown
Z ing men who were washed overheard
/ from the sunken Vandalia, giving direc-
/ tons to American sailors and natives who
were doing everything possible to save
| the men in the water.
| Rear Admiral Kimberley, in his official
report of the disaster, specially COM
mended Shearmans gallant conduct dur
/ ing the storm.

THE CHINESE SETTLEMENT.

The United States and Russia, pur-
suing different paths, have reached the
same point of view in regard to China
Having saved it's citizens at Picking
and put itself in the attitude to demand
diplomatic redress, the United States
Government Is ready to pull out of the
Celestial Empire. the sole preliminary
condition being that the powers shall
restore the Chinese authorities so that
the country may have a tangible head.
II Is not the purpose of the President
to give color. by a policy of adventure
In CHINA, to the current charge of i'm
perialism;" nor does he see any reason
why the program embraced in the de-
mand for an open door should be en-
larged. So a graceful outgoing Is the
keTder of the day.
Russia Is led to demand the military
Acuation of China and the return to
The status quo ante bellum by the
knowledge that she is too weak at pres
ent to develop her full policy. Russia
wants to be the arbiter of Asia. She Is
jealous OF every vantage ground the
other European powers occupy on Chi
mas Httoral. Should breakup OF the
Empire come soon she would not be in
= shape to warn the other powers against
laying hands on what they want: she
Is not even strong enough to make
sure OF Manchuria. BY and by, when
the Siberian Manchurian railroad has
been finished and the Car has half a
million men at Vladivostock,. Moukden
Newchwang, Kirin. Port Arthur, Kin
chow and Talien-wan, the great North
ern Empire will be able to speak In q
different key. That is, she will be able
to do SO unless China has been previ-
ously despoiled by her rivals. To sum
up the whole matter. the United States
would get out because she Is not an i'm
perialistic power and Russia would get
out because she Is one-get out to re-
turn at a more convenient season.
England and Germany see the point
and they can hardly be expected 10
play the Russian game. II thew want
any part OF China. now is their time IN
act Germany took the best portions of
shantung as indemnity for the murder
OF two Catholic missionaries: what
may she not properly ask for the muir
der OF her envoy? Is 1t likely that she
will wait until Russia Is strong enough
to challenge her right to an indemnity ?
And In the case of England why should
her aspirations for more empire be held
In allegiance until difficulties were piled
In front Of them?

THE BLUE LAWS.

So far as we can see there is no pub
lie sentiment behind the attempt to en-
force the Sunday laws with more strict
ness than was customary under the
republic and its preceding governments.
1t strikes US that the effort is gratui-
tous and that it can have no other eff
feet than to create a wider demand for
municipal rule. A city government
organized In protest to blue laws
would be likely to so to the other
extreme and throw Honolulu wide
open. Common sense suggests that
restaurants, ice cream parlors, cigar
stores, milk depots, drug stores, soda
fountains, pop beer stands and fruit
stalls should be allowed to do business
all day Sunday. They supply ordinary
daily wants; they do not disturb the
peace and their enforced closing for all
or part of Sunday is public inconve-
nience. 1t is absurd to let the cars
run crammed to the guards with people
bound for Sunday picnics. surf bathing,
canoeing, yachting and luaus and to
give the liveries a chance to let out
their fast horses and then, in the in
terests Of public morality, to shut off
the cigar and pop beer vendors and
close the coffee houses. The first thing
we know the voting majority will take
the control of Honolulu out of the
hands of the Attorney Generals De-
partment and establish a San Francis
co Sunday here. Good men ought to
preserve the city from that fate by in
sisting on decent liberality now.

Though Hilo can get no money now
for needed public improvements. she
cannot blame Honolulu on the score of
the plague outlay. The money used in
stamping out the plague and in pro-
viding against its recurrence here, was
expended in the interests of the whole
group. the big island OF which Hilo is
the capital not excluded. 1t is unfor-
tunate that little or nothing is left for
Hilo wharves and Honolulu streets and
reservoir filters, but that is not the
fault of this city. Honolulu did not
create the plague for the sake of vast
ing the surplus.
