A PHlLOSOPHIC MARES NEST.

Professor Gills of one of the Eastern
colleges is giving a lecture through the
country on "Our Nations Peril" in
which he argues that the United States
will eventually decay because, in the
process of expansion, II has taken in
so many tropical races, in whose
mental and physical deteriora ton"
it must share. That is to say, eighty
millions of homogeneous people on this
continent will succumb to the dry rot
OF 5000, 600 Filipinos, living thousands
of miles away from them, and to that
of q few score of thousands of Polyne-
slams and Mestizos. occupying other
distant points on the earth's surface.
Such a destiny would be a sad one,
but before the people Of the United
states get anxious they will doubtless
consider the cases of Great Britain and
Holland and take comfort. Great Brit
ain could be hidden away in Texas; she
is a small affair territorially; yet she
has held tropical India quite a while,
with some 200,O00,000 population, ana
owns enough of African and ocean ter
ritory between the two tropics to sup
ply half of Europe with elbow ROOM
Since a day before Elizabeth's time she
has been busy acquiring tropical sub
iects; and If she has "deteriorated' her
enemies are yet to find 1t out AS for
little Holland, she has held tropical
| colony since 1596-with the exception
of four years, when the English had
it-one sixty times her size and seven
times her population. Yet there Is no
sturdier race in Europe than the Dutch
Professor Gills of course assumes that
the possession of a tropical subject race
leads to an admiXture of racial strains;
but that does not always happen, anc
where it does occur the result Profess
or Gils fears does not always follow
The Southern States of America have
had n tropical and servile race on the
| ground for some centuries, yet the
white people living there have not LOST
| their lead, despite the vast admiXture
of blood, II Is the tropical race which
! is deteriorating into the mulatto, VINO
| Is a weakling compared with either
branch of the parent stock. In the
| light of this example from northern
and a tropical race actually in con-
| tact what harm is to be expected o1
n political union of such races wher
they are widely separated and not al
all likely to come together as a homo
geneous body? And If they did come
together the result, even If as serious as
the most arrant pesslmist could think
would hardly affect the tens of millions
of white people living in the United
States proper

FIGURES VS.. FANCY.

The Springfield Republican harks
back TO official statements that an
rexation has not been a commercial
success for Hawaii and builds column
on the hypothesis that these isiands
would have been better off as they
were. Evidently the Republican. needs
strong infusion of figures.
Nothing was more certain Just pc
fore the Spanish war, as MI r. =.
Iones formerly Finance Minister Oh
IN. Republic of Hawaii has pointed
ont than that the Reciprocity trea.y
h., which Hawaiian sugar was do-
piitted to United states ports free ol

There was no good reason why the
Kaipu case should have been forced
into court When question arose as
to whether Mrs Mikala Kaipu was a
leper or not, it could have been easily
settled by keeping her here until rep
utable doubters in the medical profess
sion had a chance to make up their
minds, one way or the other. There
are good physicians on both sides of
this issue now; enough who believe
that Mrs. Kaipu is not a leper to en-
title her to a longer test, which could
easily be made at the Kalihi receiving
station. over and over again during
the last forty years, consideration of
this sort has been shown to suspects
and in some cases they have proved
themselves entitled to release. BY fol-
lowing such a reasonable course, in the
kaipu case, the present Board of
Health could have avoided an action
at-law which may have the most
unpleasant consequences.

Cassava is doing we'll in the soil OF
Hawaii as stock food and the STEADY

A sign that the Car is sensitive to
public opinion at home is seen in the
commutation of the sentence of the
murderer of Won Plehve to fourteen
years imprisonment. 1t was remark
able that the court did not exact the
death penalty and it Is equally so that
the Gear should consider a life sentence
too much. Evidently the strength of
the people is beginning to be felt by
the autocrat and he does not care to
challenge it by too summary processes
against the assassin of Minister of
State whom the people hated.

Editor Advertiser: Could you tell me
II there is any law prohibiting people
from letting their dogs loose at night,
keeping the whole neighborhood a

The high price put upon shipment
of logs by the steamer Enterprise may
be taken as hint that logs are not
wanted in the cargo. Such freight is
never sought by steamers in general
trade. Logs are a deck load usually,
and II in heavy sea they get free OF
their lashings they become battering
rams, endangering life and the upper
structure of the ship. The log raft sys-
TEN of the Atlantic and Pacific came
about partly because vessels charged
so heavily for log cargoes They were
willing enough to take lumber but they
baked at tree trunks.

The public will wish the Honolulu
Iron Works the good luck of getting
plenty of contracts in Mexico and else
where abroad. When the Iron Works
build a sugar mill for local people, the

gregate capital of the islands; but
when they build for foreigners the nay
they get swells the grand total of Ha-
wallis cash resources. So the more
