J. ,'U- I -IMM
The time will come when tho soui
ebt dyspeptic will claim that, he Is the
man who alwajs said Honolulu would
grow. That will mean the pressuro
of optimism is so great Hint the sours
can no lunger hold out.

Tactile lo tho Jup.ineso flag, and what
stands between Hawaii and (omplete
Orlunlnllzntlon, In which the Ameri
can merchant will lie absolutely III
the hands of the foreigner'
California nnd Nevada have given
proof that they have a population of
the ngltator stripe, capable of making
itself heard and always looking for
trouble.
It goes without saying thnt the av
erage citizen of California nnd Nevada
Is not In sympathy with any move
meut that Is likely to bring tho United
States Into serious conflict with any
nation, nnd especially with Japan.
On tlio other hand this same tucr
ago citizen of tho Pacific Coast Is very
well settled III his determination that
tho western States shall not become
Orientalized. Consequently when thu
ngltntors get out on the housu tops
nnd shout, thero Is not tho uiidcrcur
rent of sympathy for the race attacked
that brings nbout prompt squelching
of thu fire brands nnd makes tho trou
ble makers hunt their holes.
Tho average American of tho 1'nclflc
Coast does not Intend that any rnco or
nationality shall dlctnto to him what
ho shall do nnd more esieclnlly does
he refuse to allow tho Oriental to gain
n foothold This sentiment pervades
thu Coast so thoroughly thnt It recog
nizes none of the International bord
ers. Canada hag expressed Itself, nnd
In much tho samo tcrms'ns California.
Capitalists want lnoxpcnslvo labor
nnd plenty of It. Tho nvcrago Ameri
can nnd tho nvcrago Canadian demand
that tho Pacific Coast bo preserved ns
n white man's country. And they aro
mighty touchy on that point. They
draw attention to Hawaii ns a nor
rlblo example.
This Is thu reason why radical reso
lutions gain headwny in tho legislative.
bodies. Tho representative of the dis
contented has to move In order to ex
press tho Ideas of his constituents.
Tho country member Blldes nlong with
tho current. Kvcn tho President's
warning docs not frighten him, be
cause on g.'iierul principles he believes
that the American nation should not
kowtow to an) one.
Other than giving voice to opinions
the resolutions proposed In the Legis
latures of tho Pacific Const will have
i.o more effect than the wi'ii utter
ances of tho radicals, In Japan.

Editor Evening II u 1 1 e t In
A rumor Is current that "Tho Mcr1
chants' Association Is to mako anoth
er move to get on the right side of
the coastwise laws suspension ques
tion." As n member of tho Association I
feel that the merchants of Honolulu
hnve taken advanced ground on
coastwise suspension. I nm proud oT
tho nctlon taken and hopo thnt any
further "move" to bo made will bo
In tho direction of laying haro tho
true underlying causes of tho present
deplorable stuto of our Amorlcan
merchant marine.
Wo diligently leprlnt Mini;
Twain's utterances regarding Hawaii
nnd 1 take the liberty of quoting tho
following from his "Innocents
Abroad" (published 180") beforo
Protection swept tho sen:
"While (passing through the
Straits of Gibraltar) we stood nd
miring the cloud-capped peaks and
tho lowlands robed In misty gloom, u
finer plcturo burst upon us and
chained every eyo lllo a magnct--a
stately ship, with canvas "piled on
canvas till she was one towering
mass of bellying sail! She camo
speeding over tho sea llko a great
bird, Afrfca and Spain wero forgot
ten. All homage was for tho beauti
ful stranger. Whllo everybody gaz
ed, bIio swept superbly by and flung
the Stars and Stripes to tho breero!
Quicker Hum thought, hats ami
handkerchiefs Hashed in thn nlr, and
o cheor wont up! Sho wns beautiful
before sho was radiant now, 'Many
a one on our decks know then for I lip
rust time how tame a sight his coun
try's (lag Is nt homo compared to
what It Is in a foreign land. Tn see
It Is to bco a vision of home and ItJ
Idols, and feel n thrill that would
stir a very river of sluggish blood!"
What Amerlcnn living as wo do
with tho boundless ocean Inviting
"Trade and Travol" to every clime
can read tho above lines without u
bciiso of prldo over this word-picture
(Continued from Paze li
assistance they nl lire to tho gni33
and wood under the house, tho cntlro
building being soon enveloped In
llames.
That tho alleged facts came out nt
this late data Is explained by tho state
ment that Manuel looking for appoint
ment on tile force nnd wishing to
mako himself solid, told nbout tho
affnlir to a pollce,l(llclnl, full lnve
ligation being ni result. Tho olll
rs .of the prosecution, especially
the pnllco depnifnicnt heads, nro very
reticent about the facts of the case,
but It Is understood that not only
has the prosecution In Ita possession
signed statements by Manuel nnd
the two Kins of tho old man who mo
alleged to hnvo assisted In tho plop-
millions for the lire, but hnvo also a
complete nnd signed confession by
Kiiaumonn.i, betting out the facta to
be proven, as stated above.
On the other hum thero are mini)
people In town who believe the whop
affair Is spite work.
