In 'analyzing the returns made of taxer assessed and paid, we nave nu desire to create any prejudice against the corporations. They are the present basis of our prosperity, and are not only entitled to protection, but to gen erous moral support from the commun ity. The facts which we have presented regarding our system of taxation are simply undisputed. Whether or not we draw the soundest inferences from them is another thing. If the system as unjust the sooner it is reconstructed by the Legislature, the better it will foe. The dominant party can have :s vn way at present. When the table of the taxes levied and paid during the year 1S97, is fur ther examined, it appears that the Eu Topeaii and American corporations paid a real estate tax of $79,1G9, while the -natives and part natives paid a tax of them here, why should we invite set tlers and tell them that it does pay? Perhaps we do not like to say to them that the freight on a small package of vegetables from Maui to Honolulu is more than the freight on the same package from Honolulu to San .Fran cisco. We do not like to put it into our glittering hand-books that trans portation from Island to Island, distant only a few miles from each other is about as expensive as it is from Hono lulu to China. BASEBALL TODAY. If regret at the departure of Ad miral Miller today, is any evidence of a breach of neutrality, by this coun munity, in the "unpleasantness" be tween Spain and the United States, then we have indeed grossly violated international law, and may be duly consigned to Spanish dungeons. Regiments and Honolulu to .Meet for First Time. The two real baseball nines of the 1S9S league will cross bats at the Ma kiki diamond this afternoon. A con test worth while is anticipated, as the teams have been playing and practic ing for a couple of months and have besides about the best material in the Islands. Hart will appear in the- box for the first time this year. His arm seems quite strong again. He will pitch for the Regiment nine and Lemon will do the twirling for the Honolulu. J. Hansmann, one of the best men the Regiment team had, 1s out of it for t.he season. He wrenched a knee in last Saturday's game, and while able to be SCROFULA !

It is the ecourge of the world offensive, painful, debilitating, stubborn and well nigh unendurable. Outward applicati- . do not cure, they only drive the difficulty to new quarters. Emollients may palliate, they cannot abolish the evil. There is but one sure way out, and that is to eliminate the taint from the blood. There is one remedy that can effect this, and it is the only one that, bo far as we know, has almost invariably succeeded . hi... -nrw phnnpps with the even where the system has been poisoned tLUUUL, -CU.l. lAirkC Ai'J i - - I 1 , . a .

That remedy is Hood's Sarsaparilla. Read this : " My daughter was afflicted with im pure blood. There were running eores all over her body and they caused her much suffering. We tried medicines that were recommended as blood puriners, but could not see that they did any good. A friend told me about Hood's barsapa rilla and I began giving the girl this med icine. The result was that she waa per fectly cured after taking a few bottles. She has had no symptoms of scrofula sores since that time."

By reason of our statement that the dominant party is under obligations to -4leal justly' with the Asiatics, in the matter of taxation, we have received several inquiries asking if we advo cate giving the franchise to the Asiat ics. These inquiries are inly a r ere ction of. the old argument used against the abolitionists by the coppe-r heads: -You wish to free the slave? Do you wish your sister to marry a nigger?" Ioing the Asiatics justice does not make it necessary to give them the franchise. That is, it ought not to be necessary to give it to them. But if our own sense of right and justice does not impel us to be just, it will be "ne cenrv" if or the Asiatic to see to it vs j M" r CANOES CAN BE OBTAINED AT Wright's Villa, Waikiki, at any time on thirty minutes' notice.

So long as we are honestly attempt ing to enforce "American Christian civilization," here with justice auu equity, the Asiatics may not be very eager to ask for the franchise. But if "Christian civilization" means unequal taxation, or the commission of wrong, or the omission to protect rights, we may expect that, in due time, they will look around for some way of securing justice. It is easy enough to jump on another, if you have tied him up hand and foot. But if the other gets the chance, and in time it comes, he will give a return blow that may hurt. Without annexation, we are about to irv a most risky and-novel experiment in the art of Government. The closer we bring that art to the principles of ........ i,.i,flHor it will be. But this does not necessarily involve the grant ing of the franchise. The Northern States of America would not, if they could, repeat the error of 1SG3 and give the negro an unrestricted franchise.
