The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1901-07-20

The Bander-log has sung it's requiem
1t has now gone into the remorseIess
NAV of Kaa, which typifies oblivion.
From thence it will never be recovered
and surely no one can desire even to
dwell upon its moppings and mowings
and its flea bitten tricks. Let it be
deservedly forgotten and let us fervent-
ly be thankful that with the power to
do so much evil, it accomplished none,
or hardly any. 1t has set back the
Territory two years, but that time can
be made up.

don't care for Royalist causes or any
other rhing else.
! Mataafa, however. though promi-
nent chief and acknowledged as such
| by the German Governor is no longer
| king SO some brilliant Samoan minds
decided that they would revive a Sa-
moan custom which would in the minds
of Samoans. establish Mataafa's king
ship as sltll existing. This was grand
presentation of mats from all the dis
tricts of the Islands, always excepting
! Tutuila But the German Governor
was equal la the occasion. The presen-
tati,h of mats was not stopped, but
was allowed TO take place, the mats
being presented to Mataafa under the
title which he had received from the
Governor, and thus from the Emperor
The reasoning was that if the mats
were presented under this title, they
were not presented to Mstaafa at all
but to him merely as representative of
the Emperor, and therefore the EN-
peror ard not Mataafa was acknowl-
edged by the Samoans. as sovereign Of
Samoa
The Governor was certainly clever
and swept out of difficulty, but it is
quite a question whether the Samons
thoroughly appreciated his manner of
reasoning. Certainly the ignorant low
or classes would not, and the chances
are that the chiefs would put their
tongues in their cheeks and smile.
But it is not the incident that is to
be commented upon so much as its
parallel to conditions which have ex-
listed here. The Samoan Islands are
irevocably annexed TO the German
Empire. They will never be indepen-
dent again, yet the Samoans believe
that the Samoan kingship can be res
tored. 1t was only during the last cleo
ton here, that many Hawaiians were
made to think that the Hawaiian
monarchy might be restored.
Yet it must be just as patent that
the Hawaiian Islands have been irreyo-
cably annexed to the Union, form part
of the Union, and though retaining in
dependence as Territory" can never
be anything else than a portion of the
United States. OF course there might
be disruption of the United States,
but that contingency is so remote that
1t need not be taken into consideration.
However, even if that remote contin-
gency did occur Hawaii would fall to
the share of the power that brought
about the disruption.
1t is curious, however, to note the
same racial idea running through the
Samoan and the Hawaiian mind, and
yet the Hawaiian mind is better trained
and educated than the Samoan, and has
had far better opportunities of mingling
with people of the world and learning
the real value of events.

The Samoans, according to the Ger
man paper published in Apia are as
willy as other members of their race.
They have been annexed to Germany,

sovereign as he is sovereign of Prussia
or any other part of Germany but the
Samoans think they know better trick
than Germans do and proceeded a few
weeks ago to carry it out Mataafa

The annual report concerning the food
supply of Paris for 1900 contains some
interesting figures. Here is the official
average of what a Partisan eats and
drinks in one year: Two hundred and
forty-two eggs, 1862 pounds of butter
3.O5 pounds of ready-cooked butchers
meat, 1892 pounds of fish, 1910 pounds
of beef, 1888 pounds of pork, and 27.SS
pounds of fowl and game. This gives a
daily average of two thirds of an egg,
$3.50 grains of butter, ST." grains of
ready-cooked butchers meat 1863 grains
of fish, 6.S1 ounces of beef, Ill ounces
of pork, and 1.21 ounces fowl and game.
The Partisan drinks in a year 1.S9 gall
Ions of alcohol, 9.O7 gallons of beer, las
gallons of cider, and 44.9 gallons of
wine. This gives daily average of
O'O3S1 pint of alcohol, 0.067 pint of beer,
O,O334 pint of cider, and O.99 pint Of wine.
1t would be interesting to have a COM
parison with all the capitals. The beef
bill is a large one, but in the. United
States and England it would be much
larger, 1t is curious to note how beer
drinking is increasing in Paris. We
shall have an increase in our beer
drinking shortly. But we have no
means of properly guaging our food
and drink bill.
