THE PACIFIC COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER: HONOLULU, JANUAEY 8, 1894.
IN PARALLEL COLUMNS.
The Malice and Prejudice of the
"Nation" Exposed.
Mr. Editor: The New York
Nation, the Evening Post's weekly
issue, can not epeak with calmness
on the Hawaiian question. Years
ago it was regarded as fair and ju
dicial in tone, but it has rapidly
lost that trait, and if its utterances
on our matters are a test of its gen
eral truthfulness, it can no longer
be worthy of credence in any thing.
For years it has been filled with
hatred and bitterness toward the
Republican party, and particularly
to everything pertaining to the
Harrison administration, while at
the same time it has worshipped
Cleveland as a personality. Per
haps this accounts for its opposite
positions on the principles of liber
ty and right involved in the cases
of the Hawaiian, Chilian and Bra
zilian struggles below referred to.
I give the quotations direct from
the Nation :
Chile and Brazil.
On Hawaii.
(Nation, Feb. 16,
1893).
In the absence of
telegraphic com
munication, even
the facts of the
revolution in Hon
olulu can hardly
be ascertained,
within that period
(balance of Harri
son's term). There
are two stories be
fore him.one that
of the Hawaiian,
Government, with
-which we have
a treaty of com
merce and amity,
which that Gov
ernment has not
broken and which
has still 2 years to
run. The other is
that of certain for
eign residents who
have overturned
zhls Government
by force of arms,
on the ground, as
vaell as we can
make out, that the
sovereign had en
tered on a policy of
"heathen and sor
cerous reaction."
These two stories!
are ' In many res
pects contradic
tory, and each side
has plenty of mo
tives, as in all
such controver
sies, for pervert
ing, coloring and
misstating.
It (the trea
ty) contains no
provisions against
heathenish or sor
cerous practices,
or against debau
chery or immoral
ity on the part of
the queen in her
palace or other
public building;
and yet it is these
practices and im
moralities which
are put forth by
the revolutionists
as an excuse for
overturning the
Government, and
proposing the ab
solute conquest of
the islands by the
United States.
(Nation, Mar. 23,
1S93).
It was to have
been expected that
a more satisfactory
solution of the
Hawaiian trouble
would be arrived
at under a Demo
cratic President
than under a Re
publican Adminis
tration. (Nation, Nov. 16,
1S02),
Referring to Ste-
ven-vsays: It was cers of the army,
his revolution that (and are not
overthrew the Ha-1 brought iuto close

Provisional Gov- executive.

up, hi3 scheme oliment. iu dealing

(Nation, Nov. 16,
1893).
Without any de
sire to see the Pre
sident take hastily
any new position
regarding the con
flict now raging in
Brazil, we think
one point in parti
cular should be
urged on his con
sideration and it
is a point of con
siderable import
ance for a Govern
ment like ours.
That is, that in all
States like those
of South America,
or like France, or
Italy, or Germany,
in which the pre
sident or sovereign
is also the head of
a concentrated
armed force, in
case of disputes be
tween the execu
tive and the legis
lature the pre
sumptions are
against the execu
tive. (Refering to Peix
oto) and he has
committed a great
many violent and
unconstitut i o n a 1
acts. Moreover,
there does not
seem to be any
way out of the dif
ficulty through a
popular vote.
But no matter
how the fortune of
war may go, by
standers must not
forget that in
semi-barbarous or
military States
which are striving
for constitutional
repre sentative
Government, the
man in command
of the troops is
naturally suspect
ed. If trouble
arises, he is in nine
cases out of ten at
the bottom of it.
This ac
counts in some de
gree for the curi
ous revolt of the
navy under some
what the same cir
cumstances both
In Chili and Bra
zil. The case
against Peixoto is
not as strong as
the case against
Balmaceda, but
there is a case
against him, and
those who believe
in it, being unable
to make a stand
against the army
in the capital, take
to the sea. The
officers of the navy
are probably bet
ter educated and
come from a better
class than the offi-
struggling
towards
with disputes of
this kind in coun
tries
slowly

Government,
gives the legisla
ture and those
who act with it or
for it the benefit
of every doubt.
! Theirs is by far
the most difficult
role. The lamp of
liberty is in their
hands, if it is in
anybody's hands.
The physical force
of the occasion is

and treated his
pinchbeck and il
legal machine as

ment of Chili, in
the teeth of all the

State. Finally, we
came near going
to war with the
Republic, and so

the materials for
a good and strong

We hope this
mistake will not
be repeated in
Brazil. We do not

the presumption
is in favor of the
malcontents, of
Congress, of the
writters of the

may say of the

it is unnecessary. The Nation has
labored to prove the whole Hawai
ian affair a Republican conspiracy,
in face of the facts published by
itself as news, of the constant op
pression of Kalakaua and Liliuo
kalani against popular right ; of
the debauchery and corruption
flaunted before the world of the
overthrown monarchy, of its steady
retrogression and of the peril to
the moral and national interest of
the thousands of Americans and
other foreigners who not only repre
sent its civilization, but whose
character, wealth and numbers give
this country a standing before the
world. It says in Brazil "The
presumption is in favor of the mal
contents;" but in Hawaii it de
nounces us as "filibusters."

Honolulu, December 18, 1893. f
Owing to the existence of Scarlet
Fever on the Island of Hawaii, the
Board of Health deems it necessary for
the information of the public to publish
the following:
sigxs of scarlet fever.
Scarlet fever first shows itself with
headache, vomiting, sore throat and high
fever. Within twelve or twenty-four
hours, a fine bright scarlet rash appears
on the face and upper part of the body,
soon spreading over the whole surface.
After the third day it fades. After the
eighth day the skin begins to peel in fine
scales on the body often in large flakes
iioas the hands and feet. This scaling
lasts from four to six weeks. There is
danger of spreading from the time of the
appearance of the rash until the skin has
entirely peeled off. The flakes of dry
skin are especially dangerous in spread
ing the disease.
Any person showing the early signs
before mentioned should be immediate
ly reported to the Health Officials.

President Hoard of Health.
