Closer Bonds With Hawaii,

The Journal has received from H. w.
Severance of Dover, N. H., the son of
Luther Severance, one of the founders
of this paper, a copy of the cable edi-
ton" of the Pacific Commercial Adver-
tiser of Honolulu, the leading paper
of the new territory The landing of
the cable was a great and interesting
event to the people there, and the con-
nection now made with the rest of the
world is a cause of great congratula-
ton to the islands
In this connection it is interesting
to know that the first conception of
commercial reciprocity with Hawaii
was suggested by Luther Severance,
while he represented the United States
government as minister to Hawaii in
February, 1852. Daniel Webster was
then secretary of State. Mr.. Sever
ance sends us copy of private let
his father at that time, which reads as
follows:
Il am trying now to induce our gov
eminent (but this is confidentiaD to
make an arrangement for the admis-
sion of Hawaiian sugar into California
| and Oregon, free of duty, and to re-
quire as an equivalent that lumber,
salmon, flour and other productions of
the Pacific coast shall be admitted into
the islands free, of duty. This will be
beneficial I'd both parties and a great
advantage to the sugar planters here
because in the ports of Oregon and
| California their sugar will be free from
| the 80 per cent duty which Chinese
and other foreign sugars have to pay
| in all American ports. Annexation
would have the same effect. One or
the other will think take place before
+! long, ht
Such were the reciprocity and ex-
pansion views of Luther Severance,
| over half century ago. Our re-
ciprocal relations with Hawaii took
effect in 1876, and with most beneficial
results to the commercial interests of
both countries. This led up to annex
alton and now the bonds are drawn
still closer by cable connection. Thus
has been the work completed which
the editor and founder of the Journal
who was then our diplomatic represen-
tative in Hawaii, first conceived and
formulated to the state department
during the incumbency of Mr.. Webster
A new era is dawning for Hawaii in
the Pacific. The circuit to Manila will
be laid by July and so the world grows
smaller every yearFby the elimination
Of distance. Honolulu may we'll be jul
bilant over this event. The bronze
statue of Kamchamcha 1, the con-
queror, looms up in all it's majestic
grandeur from it's historic pedestal
while the bones of all the dead kings
are jostled in their caves and collins
by the electric shock from the rest OF
the civilized world, am even Captain
Cooks remains feel the thrill of the
movement. Hawaii now hopes for IA
vorable legislation In Congress towards
the labor question now so important
for the further advancement of the ag-
ricultural interests of the territory.

From the fact that the late Bret
Harte left an estate of only $500 many
papers have expressed surprise that
he was not more Successful in his
long and brilliant literary career.
Well, why not Successful? Has 1t
come to a pass in the world that a
mans success in life is measured solely
by his bank account at the time of his
death? What pitifully narrow stand
ard by which to measure success! Bret
Harte left the world a richer heritage
than most men whose estate is valued
in the millions. Compared with the
treasures of his genius which are the
property of posterity what would be
the legacy of million dollars for a
few persons to quarrel over and to
waste? Bret Harte's life was sue
cess.

The Lewiston Journal, with brotherly
kindness worthy of the profession,
came to the relief of the Livermore

in last weeks fire, and the issue APP
pears as usual. The loss of the Adver-
tiser was fully $4,000 with but $4,000 in
surance. Fortunately the books and
lists were saved.
1t is gratifying to note that the year
1902 showed marked falling off in the
number of tramps confined in the jails
of our State. 1t is not to be supposed,
however, that this is due to general
conditions of prosperity, for the pro-
fessional tramp never works, if he can
possibly help it, under any conditions.
The probabilities are that his failure to
show up in Maine in force the past
year was due rather to the increased
facilities for utilizing his labor in the
various jails of our State.
