FACE THE DIFFICULTY.<br />
The crowded condition of the harbor<br />
TtwUi to the old knmaalnas the days<br />
the whale ships to the number<br />
i several occasions of 150 laid so near<br />
ach other than ono could walk<br />
tho harbor by stepping from<br />
vessel to another. Sailors to the<br />
lumber of 3000 at times filled the<br />
streets and temporary brothels were<br />
aracted on tho stretches of vacant land<br />
from the rear of the<br />
resi-<br />
dence to tho foot of Punchbowl, and<br />
targe number of native houses, If not<br />
the majority of them were given up to<br />
tetany. The saloons were many and<br />
Honolulu was one of the vilest sea-jaw- ts<br />
of the world. With the gradual<br />
withdrawal of tho whaling fleet tho<br />
conditions improved In a measure. But<br />
rco had left Us trail In poison<br />
mi 4mth over the natlvo race.<br />
Ion Is now to repeat tho un- -<br />
MWT7, demoralizing conditions which<br />
prevailed during the visits of the whal-<br />
ing fleet. Only a study of the sea<br />
ports of the world will enablo one to<br />
realise the undue and disproportionate<br />
growth of the social evils, which com<br />
merce creates In them. Tbero will be<br />
in the futuro a steady lncrcaso of<br />
demoralizing conditions, nnd the laws<br />
caanot prevent It here, as they can-<br />
not, and do not prevent It elsewhere.<br />
Honolulu Is u Federal port, and its<br />
Government will sooner or Inter pass<br />
Into the hands of men who will not be<br />
governed by any "missionary" tradi<br />
tions. Commerce will dominate. Tho<br />
ray and tho navy will soon bring<br />
to us moro residents than the entlro<br />
Anglo-Saxo- n adult population of tho<br />
place. The enlisted men will not be<br />
of a class that will take Interest in the<br />
moral progress of the place. They will<br />
create an active market for vicious<br />
pleasures. These conditions cannot bo<br />
changed, but must bo accepted.<br />
It would be a great benefit to the<br />
moral condition of the city If Pearl<br />
Harbor should become the seaport In-<br />
stead of Honolulu, n would draw to<br />
that place the degrading associations<br />
which go into commerce and with gar-<br />
risons. It would leave tho town itself<br />
In a measure free from the vices which<br />
trade brings in its left hand.<br />
But, at present, this Is Impractica<br />
ble. The wisdom of tne hour Is to<br />
put vice where It will outwardly bo<br />
the least offensive.<br />
Here at once arise tho moralists who<br />
declare that the regulation of vice of<br />
any kind is an admission of its right<br />
to exist. But the world Is gradually<br />
coming to tho conclusion that abstract<br />
right Is a poor weapon, but an excel<br />
lent maxim. John Morloy In ono of<br />
his thoughtful essays says, the British<br />
nation declares for tho right, but sus-<br />
pends the right If it interferes with<br />
reaching a definite and temporary<br />
gOOd.<br />
Compromise Is the condition of suc<br />
cess in worldly affairs. Government<br />
is Itself a compromise. Abstract jus<br />
tice is not common. It is tho Ideal,<br />
towards which all things slowly movo.<br />
Those who are sensltlvo about com'<br />
promising with evil will recall the fact<br />
that tho Lord "compromised" with<br />
Solomon, and permitted him to have<br />
seven hundred wives and threo hun-<br />
dred, concubines. Nowhere- - does He<br />
order Solomon to reduce the number.<br />
It to. be presumed that the "prin-<br />
ciple" of polygamy was a bad ono,<br />
but tho Lord did not order It to be<br />
discontinued, but merely pointed out to<br />
the wise man that his wives wero lead-la- g<br />
him after false gods. Tho sugges-<br />
tion was that he should regulate them.<br />
Judicious compromise) should bring<br />
ua nearor by each step towards ab-<br />
stract right, and such Is the history of<br />
evolution for good.<br />
THE AMHK1CA.MS AND THE BOERS.<br />
As war actually exists between tho<br />
British and the Boers, tbero arises a<br />
curious study In inherited prejudices<br />
of nations which is displayed In their<br />
attitude towards tho combatants. Tho<br />
Oermans, naturally sympathize with<br />
the Boers, Tho French also, becauso<br />
they halo pcifhlluus Albion. Tho litis-- 1<br />
slans aro totally indifferent to British,<br />
lupauslon In South Africa, provided<br />
Russia is not molest oil lu her own<br />
schemes of expansion.<br />
As to tho Americans, there Is no<br />
unanimity of BOiitlmout. Tho i'lag<br />

tlous and intelligent people who act<br />
ustly towards all men, and are about<br />
,o bo crushed by the avaricious Brit<br />
ish. There nro also a largo and per-ba-<br />
tho largest class of intelligent<br />
Americans who look behind the pro-<br />
fessions of tho Boers, and see that they<br />
are a minority of the capable residents<br />
of the Transvaal, and that Instead of a<br />
Republic, there exists only a narrow<br />
and despotic oligarchy. They see that<br />
tho policy of the British In Africa la<br />
tj establish strong colonies with uni-<br />
versal suffrage, placing every resident<br />
of whatever nationality upon the same<br />
footing as tho British themselves, just<br />
as they have done In Canada and Aus-<br />
tralia. They seo that It Is better for<br />
Africa, better for tho world, that bo-fo- ro<br />
a large white population exists In<br />
Africa that Anglo-Saxo- n Institutions<br />
be established thero onco for all time.<br />
Instead of delaying tho Inevitable<br />
strugglo to a timo when an army of a<br />
quarter of a million of men in arms<br />
must settle It, with blood and Iron, It<br />
is better to settle It now and forever,<br />
with a less number, and with a smaller<br />
sacrifice.<br />
The policy and conduct of the Boers<br />
towards the intelligent Outlanders Is<br />
tho same as that of tho British King<br />
towards our own ancestors which pre-<br />
cipitated tho Revolutionary war. The<br />
Boers do not Intend to let tho Outland-<br />
ers rule the country, however numer-<br />
ous and Intelligent they may be.<br />
As to the doctrine of self Mile, we<br />
Americans are wisely and bravely dis-<br />
carding It, unless education and intel-<br />
ligence undcrllo it, and wo aro not<br />
preaching about it from tho house tops,<br />
but aro making It manifest In Luzon,<br />
Porto HI co and Cuba. As tho Boers<br />
have settled down to a permanent dis-<br />
crimination against the most precious<br />
beliefs of tho Anglo-Saxo- n race, thero<br />
romalns but ono course only by which<br />
to correct thoir errots, nnd that course<br />
tho British are taking.<br />
When the Boers, in tbolr greed for<br />
money, permitted and encouraged tho<br />
Intelligent Outlanders to enter, reside<br />
und Invest an enormous amount ni<br />
capital In the Transvaal, there arose<br />
an unwritten contract between the par<br />
ties, that tho Outlanders, if they were<br />
good nnd responsible cltlzeiiH, should<br />
have some, political rights. Tho con-<br />
tract Is broken and tho British will<br />
now enforco It. The serious people<br />
ot America, reluctant as they nro to<br />
approve of tho uso of force, will give<br />
tbelr sympathy to tho British In the<br />
execution of their wise policy of lap-<br />
ping tho world with just nnd whole-som- o<br />
laws.<br />
ANNEXATION OF CUBA<br />
The movement tar the annexation of<br />
Cuba is quiet but continuous. The pro<br />
moters of It avoid, at present, exciting<br />
public discussion over It In the States.<br />
Americans contlnuo to invest heavily<br />
in cane nnd tobacco lands. Senator<br />
Park of Michigan and Congressman<br />
Hawley are promoting several largo<br />
corporations which own extensive<br />
tracts of land. The Cuban Land nnd<br />
Steamship Company has purchased 30,-0-<br />
acres of land and Invites American<br />
farmers to scttlo and Join in<br />
cano cultivation. Tho promoters<br />
claim that they have already 3000<br />
American Investors.<br />
The scheme for annexation Is a slm-pl- o<br />
one. The people of Cuba are to be<br />
gradually taught that there Is great<br />
profit In annexation and no profit with-<br />
out It. It Is believed thnt any senti-<br />
ments the Cubans have in favor of In<br />
dependence will yield to tho argument<br />
of the pocket.<br />
While Congress has pledged Itself to<br />
iralntain Cuban Independence, It has<br />
not pledged Itself to refuse nnnex-.itlo-<br />
If tho Cubans ask for It. '<br />
Ah annexation means tho introduc<br />
tion of Cuban products, especially<br />
sugar nnd tobacco, Into the States, free<br />
of duty, tho annexation movement will<br />
bo a popular ono In Cuba, and tho most<br />
ignorant part of the population will<br />
gradually favor it.<br />
Several years will pass before this<br />
movement takCB an effective shape.<br />
When It does, tho question will bo be<br />
fore tho American people, whether It<br />
will annex a territory, whoso products<br />
will compete, with thoso of the several<br />
States. Tho strategic and commercial<br />
value of Cuba Is admitted. But, aro<br />
theso advantages offset by tho disad<br />
vantages of competition? Tho Ameri-<br />
can farmers of tho Mainland will In-<br />
sist on "protection." So also tho Amer- -<br />
lc!l fnnnerb who hcttlo in Cuba will<br />
demand equal "protection."<br />
While the Democratic party favor<br />
two trade, It opposes tho policy of nn- -<br />
nexntlon, which Is virtually n policy<br />
which protects homo Industries. Tho<br />
Itopiibllcau party favors protection nnd<br />
opposes frco trade, hut It can hardly<br />
psenpo from tint effect of expansion,<br />
which Is substantially free trade with<br />

THfOliD HAY<br />
Thero Is a pretty picture of life li<br />
.he colonial days, which somo one hat<br />
drawn In "An Old Virginia Correspon<br />
dence," and published In the Atlantlt<br />
Monthly. The young people, wh(<br />
should read It, will find that with al<br />
of the Innumerable accessions bt<br />
modern Improvements, brought to ui<br />
In these laterdays by tho restless in-<br />
ventors and promoters, the human<br />
heart boats as it did of old, nnd It<br />
finds none of these marvelous modern<br />
conveniences add much ecstasy to Its<br />
beatings.<br />
These letters nro occasional, and<br />
coven a long period. ...iss Millard<br />
Smith who lives in Yorktown, Va.,<br />
and Is only sixteen years of age writes<br />
In 1780, to Miss Betsey Ambler who Id<br />
only fifteen years of age, and lives n<br />
Richmond, Va. Miss Mildred shows Jn<br />
her letters the high breeding and form-<br />
ality of a Virginia girl, and tells Iter<br />
friend that the French war ships, un-<br />
der Count Rochambcau (the time was<br />
Just before the surrender of Cornw.il- -<br />
Us), aro In port, and she confides to<br />
Miss Betsey somo observations<br />
e<br />
affairs. Miss Betsey, aged fifteen, re-<br />
plies at length In cholco and stately<br />
language, which few of tho college<br />
bred girls of today could excel. She<br />
tells Miss Mildred that she had been<br />
to n ball at tho Palace In Williams-burg- h,<br />
and "played off a tnousand airs<br />
which would have provoked a lecture<br />
from you an hour long." And then<br />
sho speaks of ono Marshall who was<br />
devoted to her sister at tho ball. Miss<br />
Betsey's father, Richard Ambler, wa3<br />
first treasurer of Virginia, and with<br />
his numerous family of girls, Is driven<br />
from Richmond Into tho mountains, by<br />
Tarlcton's raid through tho State.<br />
Bravo Miss Betsey writes without any<br />
excitement to Miss Mildred, about tho<br />
pursuit by tho British, the living In a<br />
hovel, tho concealment of her father.<br />
Do these girls of Honolulu realize<br />
what It means and 'how misfortune was<br />
hammering Into flno gold tho metal In<br />
tho souls of theso gentlo Virginia girls?<br />
Miss Mildred, within two years, wrltM<br />
again u polished, stately nnd loving<br />
letter, In which she wishes sho could<br />
guard her friend from Juvenile, extrava-<br />
gances, to which sho Is prone. Then<br />
Miss Betsey In 1785, writes of her own<br />
loo affairs, but soon after follows<br />
with a letter which describes her recent<br />
Liarrlago to Col. Brent, nnd with path<br />
etic words tells her of his Btidden death.<br />
Then fourteen years pass. Miss Betsey<br />
has again married and to Col. Carrlng-to- n,<br />
a friend and army comrade of den.<br />
Washington. Sho now writes to her<br />
sister Nancy, In 1799, from Mount Ver-<br />
non, whero sho and her husband are<br />
tho guests of Gen. and Mrs. Washing-<br />
ton. She gives a charming picture lof<br />
tho Wnshlngtons' home life." Sho<br />
visits Mrs. Washington's room. "On<br />
ono aide sits thn chamber-mai- d with<br />
her knitting; on the other side a little<br />
colored pet learning to scw;a decent<br />
old woman, with her tables and shears,<br />
cutting out tho negroes' winter<br />
clothes; while the good old lady (Mrs.<br />
Washington) directs them all, inces-<br />
santly knitting herself, nnd pointing<br />
out to me several pairs ot nice colored<br />
stockings and gloves she has Just<br />
finished, and presenting me with a pair<br />
half done, which she begs I will finish<br />
and wear for her sake." Tho formiV<br />
Miss Betsey, now Mrs. Carrlngton,<br />
visiting In the homo of one of the fore-<br />
most men of his age, continues In her<br />
letter referring to tho Wnshlngtons<br />
that It was "but ono year" since they<br />
wero forced to sacrifice, all these Inno<br />
cent, delights, which aro so congenial<br />
to their years and tastes, to the Parade<br />
of tho Drawing Room and Levee." Tho<br />
women who aro trying, with the aid<br />
ot money, to get some smalt measure<br />
of pleasuro out of these modern days,<br />
will notlco that ...rs. Washington calls<br />
Uiose days of home delights which thelj<br />
wero forced to give up for tho Presi<br />
uenttai Mansion, tho "lost days!" mis<br />
raro letter Is fascinating. But a portion<br />
of it is torn off. Let us bo thankful<br />
for what remains. Ahd tnen Mrs.'<br />
(Betsey) Carrlngton, on her return to<br />
Richmond writes to her sister Nancy<br />
ot tho earlier years of their lives, of<br />
their Infirm mother, andof their father;<br />
for notwithstanding tho father<br />
"held nn olllco which afforded llttlo<br />
leisure for such employment, every<br />
hour from business wis devoted to us,"<br />
And ho educated tiitso courtly Vir-<br />
ginia girls. But sho writes; "Tho Rod<br />
at that tlmo was un Instrument never<br />
to bo dispensed with, and our dear<br />
father used It most conscientiously,"<br />
Sue nlso writes; "Wo wero forced to<br />
Industry, to appear genteelly; to study<br />
manners to supply thn place of educa-<br />
tion," She mentions Incidents which<br />
Interest every American who knows<br />
and roveri'iires the character of thn<br />
Marshall, firm Chief Jiutlcu<br />
of thn Culled States Hit wi a raptuln<br />
III Um uriny, und had taken n three<br />

(Mary's) cheek. Nevertheless, how<br />
trivial now seem such objections!<br />
Under the slouched hat, there beamed<br />
an eye that penetrated at ono glance<br />
the Inmost recesses ot tho human char<br />
acter." Young Marshall married<br />
Mary. This young girl only fourteen<br />
years of age In her girlish fun, "sot<br />
her cap" for an unknown young man<br />
who had studied law only three<br />
months. The French wit said, "matri-<br />
mony Is a sea for which there Is no<br />
compass," but she seemed to have<br />
found one, which guided her to one<br />
who stands only second to Washington<br />
In the reverence of his countrymen.<br />
Ono contrasts tho lives of these<br />
country girls, simple and Industrious,<br />
and without tho aid ot modern appli-<br />
ances, with the hot, feverish and dis<br />
contented living of modern days, and is<br />
tempted to ask what are tho uses of the<br />
achievements of modern Progress?<br />
And the answer is, that this Is a transi-<br />
tion period, which will bring men and<br />
women Into better harmony with that<br />
simple order of life which the Wash- -<br />
Ingtons' loved.<br />
THE PRESIDENT'S BKSPONSI- -<br />
BILfTY.<br />
Tho Executive In Washington Is<br />
placed In a delicate position, regarding<br />
tho labor questions which have arisen<br />
here. While the Newlands' Resolution,<br />
so far ns that document, containing<br />
general and In somo respects vague<br />
langunge. Is concerned, permits Ha<br />
waii to "assist" Immigrant labor, there<br />
still remains decidedly tho spirit<br />
though not tho letter of tho Federal<br />
law which forbids it. As tho President<br />
has assumed tho power to suspend our<br />
laws, as ho has dono in tho election<br />
case, he Is open to the'cliargo by his<br />
enemies of not suspending our assisted<br />
Immigration laws, so that neither Asia<br />
tics nor Europeans can bo aided to reach<br />
theso Islands. While the protection of<br />
our own Interests justifies him In per-<br />
mitting us somo latitude or privileges<br />
In securing labor, during tho transi-<br />
tion period, it may not help him In<br />
carrying his political responsibilities.<br />
Congress, especially tho Democratic<br />
party, will attempt to hold the Pres-<br />
ident responsible for the policy pursued<br />
by his officers In tho local government.<br />
Congress will not attempt to holu tho<br />
local government or tho planters to<br />
account for any violation of tho spirit<br />
of tho American laws. Tho President<br />
has, according to hie own Interpreta<br />
tion of the Resolution, arbitrary power<br />
In our affairs and tho whole respons-<br />
ibility ot what Is done here will be put<br />
upon him.<br />
. Tho lack of a good representative in<br />
Washington, from the hour of annexa-<br />
tion until tho transition period Is com-<br />
pleted, Is a deplorable blunder. No one<br />
can bo held especially responsible for<br />
It. The public sentiment of tho mer<br />
chants and the sugar Interest has been<br />
Indifferent about It, nnd tho govern-<br />
ment has been crippled by a task of<br />
appropriations. An active representa-<br />
tive, acceptablo to the Washington<br />
authorities, would have prevented theso<br />
misunderstandings wu.ch have latoly<br />
occurred.<br />
UOOD FOOD.<br />
If one-ten-th of tho time spent in talk-<br />
ing and writing about tho wonderful<br />
products of this Paradise of the Paci-<br />
fic had been spent in actually produc-<br />
ing some good fruit and vegetables,<br />
wo would today have an attractive<br />
vegetable and fruit market. Our case<br />
I3 that of Col. D who was a noted<br />
writer in tho Rural New Yorker on<br />
tho raising of pigs. Tho readers ot tho<br />
paper, with tho usual credulity of tho<br />
readers of newspapers, assumed that bo<br />
was a King among hog "growers. But<br />
one of them, desiring to grasp the hand<br />
ot this eminent cultivator, traveled<br />
many miles to visit him. He found<br />
tho writer engaged In doctoring an old<br />
and sickly sow, which was tho solo<br />
occupant of his pen, and being forced<br />
to a confession, said that hog-farml-<br />
on paper was his gift, and ho should<br />
sternly resent any Intlrritlon that ho<br />
needed 'to qualify ns a. writer by be<br />
coming an nctual hog raiser. When-<br />
ever tho tourist has Innocently asked<br />
to seo tho lino productions of our soil,<br />
ho is pointed to pine-app- le and bana-<br />

In a vaguu nnd general manner, and j<br />

HAFTIBH BY KIKE.<br />
A new religious sect hns appeared<br />
In Pennsylvania, who bellevo in Bap<br />
tism by fire. Tho leaders are sincere<br />
men, and many of tho prosperous tar<br />
mers have been converted to the now<br />
doctrine. It Is said that the fire des<br />
cends from Heaven in tongues, and<br />
leaves marks upon tho face, arms and<br />
hands. It Is claimed by the leaders<br />
that faith will do all things. A well<br />
developed faith, it Is urged by thoir<br />
preachers will enablo human beings to<br />
fly.<br />
Theso converts aro honest and steady<br />
farmers. If Mr. Damon falls to secure<br />
Italian Immigrants, ho may be able to<br />
secure a colony of theso thrifty but'<br />
singular people. They are well adapt'<br />
ed to settlo on tho plantations ad'<br />
joining Mauna Loa. Volcanic out<br />
breaks will furnish them SDeclal ban<br />
t'lsmoffire, and, as tho more hey are<br />
roasted or scorched, the more devout<br />
and faithful they will be, thero will<br />

HAWAIIAN FLOATS<br />
Seen in Proceuion at<br />
Kansas City.<br />
On the Ocoaslon of the Thirteenth<br />
Visit of Pallas to Her<br />
ta<br />
City.<br />
At tho recent celebration in Kansas.<br />
City, In the magnificent parade which<br />
characterized the thirteenth visit ot<br />
Pallas to her chosen city, a large num-<br />
ber of magnificent floats appeared.<br />
Among them were:<br />
VOLCANIC GLORIES OF HAWAII.<br />
The largest volcano In the world,<br />
which was recently acquired by tho<br />
annexation of Hawaii, is pictured in<br />
flaming eruption. It is by far the most<br />
expensive float of nil, being made en-<br />
tirely of asbestos and built to give the<br />
greatest spectacular feature of the pa-<br />
rade. As it passes through the streets<br />
It will vomit forth lire and smoke with<br />
vivid lava streaming down Its serrated,<br />
sides. It requires five men to work<br />
effects of this float and<br />
enough fireworks will be consumed<br />
e<br />
a Fourth of July celebration tor<br />
all of Kansas City.<br />
RAINBOW FALLS OF HILO.<br />
A beautiful conception is that rep-<br />
resenting the Rainbow Falls ot Hllo,<br />
which Is one of the greatest sights to<br />
tho stranger. In Hawaii. A noisy,,<br />
foamy river is seen rushing down<br />
through rocks, while a cloud of vapor<br />
gives the rainbow effect.<br />
ANCIENT IDOLS OF HAWAII.<br />
The ancient idols ot Hawaii, hideous,<br />
misshapen and terror-inspirin- g, have<br />
renounced their evil proclivities, and<br />
now join In the pleasure-lovin- g pur-po- so<br />
ot tho Goddess Pallas. They rep-<br />
resent the period in America's Infant<br />
colony when the natives of Hawaii<br />
worshiped tho gods through Idols In<br />
conformity with their Idea that the<br />
gods were cruel and passionate and de-<br />
lighted In human suflerlng.<br />

only a small portion of tho dally re-<br />
ceipts. Then tho northbound oxtru<br />
freight takes away daily from six to<br />
seven carloads of sugar to the roflnery<br />
ht San Francisco. This output will av-<br />
erago about 160 tons dally.<br />
