MORE characterization"

The patriots who followed the flag to
| Hawaii for the purpose of American
izing' this country and who began their
noble work by organizing machinists
| union and getting up strike at the
Honolulu Iron Works have had theil
labor for their pains. The strike is over
and the Americanization of the Iror
| Works seems to be hopelessly checked
the proprietors having insisted, in the
true oligarchicaf way, upon managing
their business to suit themselves and
- he greater number of employees having
made up their minds to let well enough
alone and stay by their jobs. AS a re-
suit, the walking delegates and other
apostolic workers in the field of profess
sional "Americanism' have nothing left
to do but to shake the dust of such an
alien and unregenerate country from
their feet.
Another group of Amsricanizers, how
ever. are getting along more swim
mingly. Between them they have
granted and received a license to open
a saloon on the waterfront where sober
men were turned into drunkards yes
terday with speed that must have
made the eagle scream. During all the
years of the family compact and the
other influences which have degraded
Hawaii no saloon was permitted to eX-
ist on the waterfront, with the result
that Honolulu had the tamest and dead
est waterfront of any seaport in the
world 1t was so deserted and quiet at
night that man could not step across
the street to the lumber yard with
can of opium save at the risk of having
his footballs rouse a Waterman. Not so
much as a murder or bit of highway
enlivened things there; all was
deadly dull as BELTS a country held in
the grasp of selfish oligarchy. But it
was different last night. In the new
saloon, which has been conveniently
placed to catch the machinists of the
Iron Works coming and going. men
stood four deep clamoring for drinks
and those whose calls were answered
were so overjoyed at the idea
that Hawaii had been Americanized at
last that they lay down in the gutter
and dreamed of new Barbary coast,
with a fat Hibernian policeman asleep
on the corner and the Morgue just over
the way.
And to think that, with this manifold
blessing not to speak of the acquisf-
ton of american" courts that play
politics with packed juries and hire
jury-fixers as bailiffs, the Fourth of
July in Honolulu should have fallen
into innocuous desuetude. We can I'M
derstand the grief of those who mourn
with the defeated strikers, but this is
not enough cause to discard the indie
pendence Day which has been SO cheer
fully heralded by waterfront saloons
and political judges and which may yet
dawn upon a looted treasury and
plundered people.

THE AaIoNs.

The recently organized Deutscher
Verein Arion gave a houseWarming in
their new club rooms on Punchbow
treet last night. The rooms were taste
fully decorated with German and Amer
lean flags interspersed with ferns.
The opening remarks were made by
President Klemme, who in a neat
speech, dwelt on the object of the
club, and hoped that it's work would be
appreciated The POSTMASTER, Otto
Kraft, was then introduced and under
his sway the entertainment proceeded
in true German fashion until late
hour.
The German Deutscher Verein Arion
was organized on May /, 1901, with a
charter membership of So, which has
since increased to 65. 1t is social and
singing organization, and it's main OBJ
ject is to be a meeting place for Ger
mans, who visit or are residents of Ho-
nolulu.
The officers of the Verein are: Carl
Klemme, president; Louis Berndt vice
president; G. Kidlein, treasurer; c..
Schellkopf, secretary. and Kappelmeis-
ter Berger as choir director.

The elder Portuguese in this city are
good citizens but the younger ones with
enough exceptions to make the rule, are
earning more blame than praise The
smaller boys regard stealing as a vest
ed right and the larger ones are devel-
oping gangs of dangerous loafers. What
to do with these people is a sober ques-
ton not only for the police and for the
church which holds spiritual juris-
diction over the most of them but for
sociological students generally. There
are immense potentialities for evil in
the kind of population which is growing
up In Honolulu and steady infusion of
negroes and Porto Ricans will make
things no better.

When public land was offered for sale
by Commissioner ]. F. Brown, the anti
Dole kennel aroused itself with one
voice. A breathless public was told that
the oligarchy was at 1t again, stealing
United States territory to sell to men
who would have 1t taken away from
them by the stern hand of offended
Federal law. Presto, change! Now we
have Commissioner Boyd calmly dis
posing of public land in 1,500-acre tracts
and telling the public that the rest of
the Territorial domain will be worked
off in job lots cheap for cash-$100 worth
for $12. And not protest comes from
the kennel nor is a single whistle rails
ed to bring on the bloodhounds from
Washington.

Paul Neumann is dead. That
means great deal to the places which
knew him once and which shall know
him no more forever, for in all those
places he was an illuminating and
cheer-inspiring force. People who
knew Paul Neumann loved him; those
who did not know him sought his ac-
1quaintance to find him meeting them
half way. His was a. nature which
made life better worth the living to
those around him: which lifted others
burdens and bore others griefs, and
which exalted the brotherhood of man.
What his spiritual faith may have been
we do not know, but for such soul
as Paul Neumann had there is surely
room among the many mansions.
