FOR A PliTCBISOITE
Tho uative papors havo suggested
the lakiug of a vote of tho pooplo
of Hawaii who had a right to voto
uudor tho Constitution of 1887 for
the purpose of ascertaining tho de
sire ofctho people ai to tho form of
government best suitod for tho peo
ple and the person to placed at the
hoad of suuh government
Mr Dolo must admit that tho ex
periment of a so callml republic is a
dismal failure Think of a President
and his Cabinet who dare not be at
the seat of government without
having at the eall of a boll a force
of soldiery and gatliug guns to
hold at bay an outraged peoplo
If peace and harmony are to bo
rostored it is of the first importance
that the govorned should bo in
sympathy with tho Governors In
other words let us havo n govern
ment of tho people by the peopje
and for tho people Any other con
dition of affairft must ultimately
lead to trouble It is a wisn ruler
who watches tho changing condi
tions and opinions of his peoplo and
adjusts affairs to meot the conditions
It is useless to say that all classes
and conditions of peoplo on these
islands nro contented with tho proF
ont order of affairs It i3 just as
useless to say thai liuinosu is flour
ishing when so iv u men out of ten
in business will tell you Mr Dole
that profits hare been growing
smaller year by year since 1892 It
cannot be helped that many dis
contented business men should con
nect tho lessening volume of busi
ness with the outrage of January 17
1893 that tho belief should grow
that nothing will holp to restore tbo
happy condition of affairs that ex
isted prior to that outrage but tho
offort to restore good fooling be
tween the foreign and native popu
lation
Let the powers that bo obtain the
ivialies of the ptople y a plebiscite
anssNMWwinfiegM
and bring about tho changes that
may bo desired Such a proct etling
would be a gunranlco of older
Tho royalists will fall into lino
with any form of government and
ruler that a substantial majority
will voto for Take tho load Mr
Dolo or do you prefor to havo the
pooplo bring potitionB to yon If
so they can bo roadily prepared
Let us havo poaco
TOPICS OF THE DAY
A sailing vessel recently ropotled
to tho Chilean Govornuwut that
Robinson Crusoes Island officially
known as Juan Fernandez has dis
appeared during tho recent volcanic
eruptions Tho skipper roporta that
huge flames woro seen breaking out
from tho water on tho spot whoro
tho island was located About a
hundred Ashormon lived on the inl
and Tho Chilean Govommeut has
dispatched a man of war to mako
an investigation
According to an evening paper
Mr W O Smith tho loarnod
of Mr Dolea funny
little republic has -arrived at tho
couolusion that Mr A do Souza
Canavarro Chargo dAffaireaof tho
King of Portugal to Hawaii is not
entitlod to immunity from arrest and
molestation guaranteed to all foreign
diplomatic representatives by inter
national law Our learned friend
whoso study of international law
evidently is confined to reading tho
Civil Codo of Hawaii is accused of
saying that It is only foreign
ministers and such of their attaches
whoso names are duly registered in
the Foreign office as being oonnoctc d
with tho legation who como within
tho exemption Mr Smith does not
reaizo that the word foroign pub
lic minister as uspd in th Code
means all diplomatic representatives
immaterial of tho grade of rank cin
ferrred on them by their respective
governmnnts If Mr Smith in
quoted correctly And is consistent
we propumo that nmhasadoia uro
not exempt from the laws of the
countries to which they happen to
bo accrodited Ambassadors aro
ministers within the meaning of tho
word as well as a Charge dAffaires
Diplomatic Agent or CouiniuMoner
Tho Attorney General should ro
fresh his store of international
knowledge bofore ho runs against n
snag In rogard to this matter it is
interesting to notice tho Bulletin in
ono column quoting the Attorney
General as saying that tho Canavar
ro matter was something of which
tho Government would lake tio
cognizance of and in another
column stating that Maishal Brown
has toudured an official apology to
Souhor A do Canavarro
And now conies tho only P C
Jones tho great financier of Mr
Dolo liupublic tho man who could
raise millions West of the Rocky
Mouufaips and admits that he is a
financial humbug and failure When
ho a few months ago appeared be
fore a meeting of financiers in Ho
nolulu he boaslod that he could
attend to tho refunding of tho Ha
waiian national debt and that ho
could accomplish tho end West of
tho Rockies Ho knf w that a presi
dential oampaign was coming on in
tho Uuitod State but what was
that to our great financier JJis
appoaranco in tho Statos would bo
suffieiont to cause tho bankers to
pour their coin into his ample lap
at any rato of intormt Hawaii might
desire Minister Domou who knows
iiaii iawiii i m iuiMtga
a fnw things about financo smilod
his blandest smilo and ompowored
Mr Jonos to go ahead borrow tho
millions at -1 percent and tako a fat
commission for his trouble Tho
Ministor who had lisloned to Mr
Jones financial bombast mado only
ono condition namoly that tho re
funding job should bo finished bo
foro Novombor 1st No money can
bo borrowod wails Jono3 until after
MoKinloys oleotion Admitting
that thoro is a very faint possibility
of that event taking placo it cortniu
ly cannot happen until nftor tho 1st
of Novombor i o nftor tho expiration
of Jones contract with Minister
Damon To grant Mr Jones further
timo would be an absurdity of which
Minister Damon is incapable The
man has proved his incapacity to
accomplish what he said ho could
do and tho Ministor will show wis
dom in trying another agont He
knows vory woll whero to go to find
tho only man who in tho past has
placed Hawaiian bonds in foreign
markets Wo are told that Popcorn
previous to his departuro on a
search for millions told a friond that
ho was now on tho grandost mission
of his life and that if ho failed ho
would retiro from public and active
lifo and spent tbo rest of his days
cultivating cabbages at Waikano
and woudor why ho over was suoh a
cabbago head as to boliovo that his
financial friends of Hawaii nei
who applaudod tho rofunding bill
really wanted to see him accomplish
it get a fat commission and re
duce tho rato of interest Oh
innocont Jones oh gullible Jonos
roturn and bo satisfied by being a
sou of the revolution A financier
you were never cut out for
Tho Deadly Itlflo
Another instance of the danger in
tho Government allowing volunteers
to havo arms and ammunition in
possession was demonstrated this
morning At the Kinimaka premises
on King street adjoining Kawaiahao
Seminary a shooting scrapo took
placo which probably will cost the
life of Tai Kin a young Chinaman
Ah Fat another Chinaman who
works on the promises obtaiuod of a
Springfiold rifle belonging to Samuel
Leloo a member of Company 0
who resides on the premises Tho
rifle wa pointed at Tai King and
discharged nith the result of inflict
ing a serious wound in the hoad of
tho unfortunate boy Tho bullet
wa3 latter on found imboddod in tho
wall of a school room belonging to
tho Seminary The police wore
notified and Captain Parker was
promptly on tho spot Tbo wound
ed Chinaman was convoyed to tho
Hospital whoro he Hgj in a critical
condition Ah Fat is looked up and
makes tho usual claim that he didnt
know the rifle was loaded and that
ho and his friend were skylarking
A Grand Celebration
All the prominent members of tho
Portuguese colony demonstrated
thoir loyalty to their nntivo country
by colobrating yostorday tho birth
day of thoir king Mr Canavarro
hold a recaption in tho oyoning
whioh was largely attended and at
