An evening paper, referring to the !
Hosted directory, copies of which were j
received by the last steamer, states
that Mr. Husted had no intention of
having his book published in this coun
try. While we cannot vouch for Mr.
Husted's intentions, it. is due him as a
business man to state that he requested
the Hawaiian Gazette Company to print
the book, which request was refused
on account of negotiations then going
on with Mr. Finney, who was the first
applicant. As to the excellence of the
two directories we have no fight; they

will speak for themselves; but it Is
nothing more than common courtesy 1 Willis in replying to the query used
to give Mr. Husted the tredlt which Is the prerogative of a diplomat but no
due any business man who is courteous 1 sane man has to think twice in decid
ing that question. The tactics now
being used by the parties opposed to
republican institutions are fast ap
proaching the imbecile stage if not al
ready arrived at that point. Failing to
find any sound facts or principles on
which to base their arguments, they
grasp at self-manufactured straws and
build upon the weak structure a bal
loon shaped castle of hopes filled with
windy ideas. It only requires a slight
prick with the pin of truth to bring the
edifice down upon the ears of the dis
gruntled builders.
In. Lord Russell's speech on arbitra
tion before the Saratoga convention he
spoke of the large sums of money now
being expended to increase and improve
the armament of the nations of the
worjd. There is indeed a peculiar ir
regularity in the common place asser
tion that the day will soon arrive when
arbitration will take the place of set
tlement by force of arms, when in the
face of the theory practical facts prove
quite the contrary. Great Britain is
today as proud of her powerful navy as
she ever was, and every Power on the
globe is doing, its best to keep up with
the strong adversary. European na
tions are spending millions to keep up
the armed forces and the border lines
bristle with death dealing weapons of
the most destructive type. Certainly
there is not much of the spirit of arbi
tration in this. International jealousy
is as strong as it ever was. and the
only hope held out is that the arma
ment will become so formidable that
nations will be more fearful of going
to wai. International fear may thus
lead to international peace.
AFTERMATH OF THE
SENTENCE.
JAMESON
The manner in which the English
press and people received the sentence
of Dr. Jameson and his Transvaal raid
ers gives a well founded impression
that the jingo policy has a strong fol
lowing among British subjects. The
leading political organs of the country
naturally express gratification that the
law has taken its course and that the
raiders have been given their just dues.
The sober thinking people also follow
in the same line, but underneath it all
there is an undercurrent of
feeling that Dr. Jameson's great
crime is represented in his fail
ure to succeed in his undertaking. One
paper says that nothing in legal penal
ties can repair the dreadful mischief
springing out of that mad and unscru
pulous adventure; but it is safe to say
that had Jameson been a little more
careful in laying his plans, the mad
adventure would have been looked
upon as more in accord with the won
derful poem which the new laureate
composed in honor of the raid.
The Saturday Review represents one
side of public opinion in the British
Isles when it says: "It is hardly to be
believed. ... Is our law so brutally
vindictive? Do previous character and
past services to the country go for
nothing? Is it the one fault that counts
alone? The scales of justice require re
adjustment indeed if honor, reputation,
bravery in the field tty up and kick the
beam when weighed against a single
mistake. The sentences are an outrage
upon public opinion. . . . How we
have ever got our Empire together is a
mystery, seeing how we treat our im
perial adventurers."
This last sentence will touch a re
sponsive chord outside Great Britain, .
among those who believe that the Brit
