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 />

ASSHiajyTO<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
