Si Tlms vvho are not personally ucciuainted with the conditions
- 1.1
which prevail in the South American countries cannot realize the
hit t er mid conUHiintuous hatred which rages in the bosom of every
Sr.anish-Amerionn from Mexico to Chili nsainst citizens of the
United States, notwithstanding the fact that the United States has
by the enforcement of the Mouroe Doctrine preserved the autonomy
hf'mnnv c.i these renublics and nrevented their absorption by for-
- i - .
eign powers. This bitter feeling is perhaps most pronounced in
Chili, where every first class hotel hangs out the sign, "sailors.
Americans and dons not Emitted." In the streets of trie principal
South American cities an American citizen or. blue jacket is con-
tinnnllv subWt to insult and frequently to assault. While as a
measure of self-protection the United States is not j et prepared to
abandon the Monroe doctrine, s-till it, is about time to round up
these dag'ies and teach iliem a lesson they need.

The running of mountain tunnels to develop water on the oif
fei-ent, islands is roeeivinjr much attention with gratitjing results
The great success scored at Lahaiua will give' an impetus to this
kind of work. The government is proposing to develop a tunnel
c.mnlv of water at Pohnoli suriusis on Maui, $a,0tX) having- been
appropriated for that purposa, although it now seems doubtful if
mrnov will ho available for that purpose. However the pipe has
been arranged for and the tunneling will doubtless be begun at

Si Thft Territorial authorities are perhaps by this time in a state
of "mental mellowness and receptivity which will enable them to
take in and appreciate the well meant suggestions of the News
that Hatch's mission to Washington was both ill-timed and ill-ad
vised. The generous proposition of the Honolulu Bar Association
tn tnkf. nn and present bv quo-warranto or other proper proceed
ino-s. a clean, clear-cut and all-embracing arraignment of the valid
hill was a move in ihe right direction. It is to be
sincerely hoped that the Supreme Court will sustain the validity of
the act as a whole, but if not, the Quicker we know it. the batter it
will be for all concerned.

1J One may well ask why it is that the guava jelly industry on
Maui has been allowed- to languish so long. Every year a fortune
?n tmavaa rnts on tha ffround. But this condition cannot last much
longer. The Haiku pinery, it is said, intends to take up guava
jelly manufacture with improved machinery, ana others wm uo
the same. A dozen guava jelly factories with improved macninery
n.nnW hfi successfullv run on Maui, and with steamers from Ka-
vini t iVin nna on ovrpllfnt market is easily reached. Within
UUiUl lVy V liVJ vv- w V -
the next few years Maui will probably be shipping hundreds of
thousands dollars worth of guava jelly to the mainland every
year.
After nil that fieneral Arthur Mc Arthur has said concerning
v,Q r.o-ar.iatinn nnd traininsr of militia on the Islands, it is a serious
question as to how much a militia would avail us in the event of a
war between the United States and any other great power. Certain
i.. -.,t riofoml mirsfilvfis. and would be compelled to de-
Tind on United States vessels and troops. A territorial militia is
all right, but let us go at it in moderation.

Panama has no connection with thr
reM of the Republic of Colombia, savt

end cut the State from Colombia, bo
that it takes a month t,j go from Bo-

went through a continual succession
of net.) inirs and hnuosilions. It was

loo important for Colombia to. lose;
but ii was too far away from the
grafters at Bogota to clo anything

ple of the State became discouraged
aud listened favorably .to the advice
of the merchants and moneyed men of
Njw York, who advised them to put
an end to' the intolerable "conditions
that existed. For there is little rea-

the encouragement for tne recent re

There are seven provinces, or, as

these, Chiriqui, "the 'one in the ex

brious and progressive. But all
these provinces, save where they
come down to the valleys close to the
sea on the Atlantic and Pacific sider,
are filled with energetic hardworking
people who have tried to make the
State success, even with .the heavy

the major part of the 'shipping. In

large number of tromp steamers who
are taking a discharging cargo and a
number of fruit lines that run to near

for all warships that cruise la that

there are not from five lo ten big
ships in the ha mors, beside a large

I remember x as a boy, when good,
h nirst horse- racing took place in
Honolulu on the Plains, neur the spot
where the former baseball grounds
were, that the AVaimanalo horses
captured a majority of the prizes.
