would not risk the fate of the kow
Shing by taking on board anything so
contraband as recruits. Indeed such
vessels would probably leave japan off
their calling list while the war lasted
and do business with the treaty ports
of China alone. AS for the Maru
steamers their business in war, under
contract with the japanese govern
ment, is to act as cruisers and scouts.
The only way left to move the local
Japanese would be by means of trans
ports heavily conveyed, and as Japan
could not spare either merchant vessels
or warships for the purpose, the
chances are that our japanese popula-

instead of drawing upon our labor sup
ply, would check japanese emigration
home altogether.

ETHICS OF RESIGNATION.

This demand for designations Is at
variance with American policy and is
therefore n-American.-Indep
Nothing of the sort. When Presi-
dent McKinley's cabinet met for the
first time after the accession of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, each department chief
handed his resignation to the new
Executive. The terms for which these
gentlemen had been confirmed by the
Senate had not expired; indeed they
had hardly begun. Yet each member
of the Cabinet felt 1t to he his duty
as gentleman to leave President
Roosevelt with a free hand.
That is the american way" an
the courteous way. Any man of
common civility will abide by it, here
as elsewhere. The Independent, 1t
seems, thinks that if the Hawaiian
heads of departments resign they will
not be reappointed and it urges them
to hold on at any cost. But the idea
has nothing but suspicion back of it
So far as this paper is advised, Mr.
Carter realizes the need and the de-

HOME RULE BONDSMEN.

The Advertiser tries to make 1t APP
pear that Home Rule candidates from
the other islands are here for the pur-
pose of getting bonds and are having
difficulty in finding guarantors. Some
of them, in visiting Honolulu, have
ii as an incidental purpose the bust
ness of getting their bonds in shape,
but they know exactly whom 20 go 20
and will experience no difficulty in
getting any amount of security they
want. The principal thing bringing
the new officers to Honolulu IS that
of posting themselves on the prelimin-
AIRY work they will have to do in set
ting their respective counties IN mo-
ton. The -dvertiser and its crowd may
rest perfectly easy about the bond
part of the r-Independent.
Home Rule candidates-elect from
outside have sought bonds of leading
financial institutions here and been re-
fused. We are informed by bankers
shat they cannot secure responsible
bondsmen in Honolulu for the excel
lent reason that they are not ~espon-
sible citlsenss
Nevertheless the officials elect may
get stray bonds and these, no DOUBT,
ID,.ould be as acceptable as any to
Home Rule Board of Supervisors, who
will pass upon them. In that event 1t
will be possible, we suppose, to IN
yestigate the bondsmen in the courts
for the protection of the county.

Embarrassing.

Does any sane person In Hawaii be-
lieve there Is a grain of fact in the
bushel of chaff which Mr. Ashford
dumped in this wise yesterday upon
the Circuit Court:
MY Information Is to the effect that
the Attorney General and one of his
deputies were most persistently en-
gagged in coaching a certain man at
tempting impersonation, this man hav-
ing sworn that he was another voter"
Such Information as that Is hardly
worth listening to in bar room. The
idea that a highminded gentleman
like the Attorney General would risk
his reputation, his position and even
his liberty as an individual for the
sake OF coaching fraudulent voter
may strike ashford as plausible but 1t
will be heard by the average common
sense citizen with disgust. If the
Home Rulers have no better case for
investigation than Ashford presents,
the Grand Jury will make short work
of them,

GROWTH OF THE NAVY.

There was time within the recol-
lection ~ men now in middle life when
the United States did not possess
twenty-five seagoing ships and none
of those were modern: So late as the
year when Admiral Belknap corilnahd-
ed the Asiatic station he ce'nplaned
that the United States was the only
power represented al a Japanese naval
review in Kobe WITH wooden vessels.
1t is not long ago that Honolulu saw
Its frat up-to-date American cruiser
IN the Charleston; and since that time
the port has seen the wooden Omaha,
Pensacola, Pinta and Marion pass
through in commission. How short a
time 1t seems since the Advertiser
welcomed with pride the arrival of the
old wooden sloops of war Trenton,
Vandala and Nipsic to these shores.
When those vessels were put hors de
combat at Samoa American naval
strength in this part Of the Pacific dis
appeared. Before ten years had pass
ed, however, our naval situation in the
Pacific as elsewhere, had completely
changed.
Today, according to the report of
Rear Admiral Bowles. chief of the bu-

United States could put on the sea 252

MORGAN AND THE CANAL.

The probability that John J, Morgan
will be deposed from the Craftsmanship
of the Canal committee of the Senate
indicates that the upper house of Con-
gress will stand by the President in
his choice of the Panama route. Sem
ator Morgan is committed to Near
aqua in a way which makes him I'M
mindful of the engineering argument
for the shorter route and he is disposed
to be obstructive in his tactics. Nat
urally the friends of the Panama
measure are doubtful of the wisdom
of letting him keep so powerful lev
erage as the Craftsmanship of the
Canal committee would afford in COM
ing legislation.
1t Is a matter of national regret that
so patriotic and useful a man as Sem
ator Morgan should adopt, toward so
great a work of public utility as a
trans-o oceanic canal, a dog-in-the
ger policy. The logic of a canal is
not one of localities. 1t pleads for a
navigable waterway between the At
lantic and Pacific to be built as soon
as possible, The question of a site
Is primarily one for engineers and it
touches craftsmanship only through
the State and Treasury departments
where diplomacy takes up the local po-
litical questions involved and where
finance measures the cost. Such con.
tentions as Senator Morgan made in
Congress for years up to the time OF
his sudden and complete infatuatioh
for Nicaragua, argue as we'll for PAM
ANA as for the other place. They es-
tablish the need and value Of a canal
and the paramount Importance Of haste
in digging It, 1t is clear to Senator
Morgans friends that IL he should sue
coed in defeating the Panama project
he would not, thereby, commit the
Government to the Nicaragua route.
Indeed, with all the engineering and
financial logic pointing to Panama,
Nicaragua would have very little show;
and the net result of Senator Morgan's
efforts would be the indefinite post
ponement of canal building. This
would suit the railroads excellently.
but it ought not to suit Senator Nor
gan in view of his own past utterances
and of the pressing naval and COM
mercial needs of the United States.

the GlLBERTEsE.

It would not be n surprise TO hear
that the Gilbertese, after a short stay
in their native islands, had grown
homesick for Hawaii. No white man
ever lived here for twenty years and,
whatever his circumstances might be,
found himself weaned from the group
by visit to his birthplace or early
home. "Other things change but IL
abides," as Mark Twain said Of Ha-
wall. The experience most of us nave
had with visit to the scenes of youth
after an absence of more than half a
generation, is disseminating. New
faces in the old places, old faces alter
ed. the sense of being a stranger on
familiar ground, the chill Of new GUS
toms and manners and points of view
where you expected to find the old
ways--all these repel you and turn
you back to the newer but the real
home. May not our brown brothers.
the Gilbertese, feel the same way?
The islands they knew in youth and
early manhood have been transformed
by the wand of progress. Writing In
The Friend, Rev. Mr.. Bingham says
that the Gilbertese, instead OF finding
the aboriginal life they remember, will
come under a British civilization with
laws, schools, churches, and sanitation.
Besides all this, as we may add, they
will have been forgotten by their
friends for the memory of primitive
South Sea races is like that OF chill
dren. Their old homes will be in the
hands of others, the property they
once owned will be theirs no more.
What new ways they have gained in
twenty years will help to make them
aliens in their own land. Even their
speech is no longer what It was; 1t Is
mixed with Hawaiian and to some ex-
tent with oriental tongues They may
return TO the Gilbert group as Marco
Polo and his companions did to Venice
after their journey to Cathay--tin-
recognized, unwelcome and suspected.
And then will come the wave OF re-
greet that they ever left here.

Great Britain is usually described as
a land-swallowing power but a recent
statement that she refused to buy Alas
ka when 1t was offered to her by Russia
at the price accepted afterwards by the
United States, shows that her appetite
is variable. Indeed, when one comes
to think of it, Great Britain has let
many a good chance slip to extend her
empire. Long ago the Philippines
could have been hers If she had chosen
to take them. Captain Cook might
have annexed Hawaii If he had wished
to and Admiral Thomas might have
kept it after it had been annexed by
one of Cooks naval successors. The
British flag was once planted in Cuba
but withdrawn. While Russia and Ger
many have seized large portions Of
China Great Britain has contented her.

But a few years ago she let Germany

post. So on the whole our English
cousins have as much right as Warren
Hastings had to be astonished at their
own moderation.
