t THE PACIFIC COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER: HONOLULU, MAY 24, 1S9S. x .A! TUB PACIFIC Commercial Advertiser. W. N. ARMSTRONG EDITOR. TUESDAY MAY 21. THE JU KEN'S HIKTHIUY. The people of the most democratic government on earth; the people who have ploughed the seed of democracy deep into the soil of four continents; the people who have watched and guarded the seed as it sprouted, and its roots ran down to the living waters of self government; all of these today celehrate the anniversary of the birth of the woman in whose name and by whose authority the decrees of this powerful democracy go out to all parts of the earth and seas. An Englishman lately wrote regard ing the British political fabric: "It i3 difficult to see what further exten sions in the direction of popular gov ernment any partisan of Ochlocracy the rule of the multitude could de vise." Vastly weaker in direct official power than any European monarch, or any president of the United States, the British Queen still remains the symbol, and emblem of perhaps the strongest and wisest, and most far reaching political force in the world, one that dominates about four hundred millions of people. We, allied to the American branch of this Teutonic race, frankly ac knowledge this, because it is true, and we are gradually becoming prouder of the racial lines which are drawn be yond the borders of nations or coun tries only, and embrace the whole English speaking world. The Ar kansas men who believes in Arkansas only, as against the world, and the Englishmen who believes in England only as against the world, gradually. disappear together like Sam Weller's post boy and donkey. So today the men and women of this great democracy charge their glasses with health to the Queen o , Democracy. More than this, they wel may include the lands, and the men of "the four new nations." and the "Islands of the Sea," whose allegiance gives luster to her reign. Here are a few of Kipling's lines, which read well today. It is in the toast: "To the health of our people's people To her well ploughed windy sea, To the hush of our dread high-altars Where the Abbey makes us We; To the grist of the slow ground ages, To the gain that is yours and mine To the Bank of the Open Credit, To the Power-house of the Line." "To the smoke of a hundred coasters To the sheep on a thousand hills, To the sun that never blisters. To the rain that never chills, To the land of the waiting spring-time, To our, five meal, meat fed men, fTo the tall deep bosomed women, And the children nine and ten." "To the homes of the floods and thun der, To her pale dry healing blue To the lift of the great Cape combers, And the smell of the baked Karroo To the growl of the sluicing stamp head To the reef and the water gold, To the last and the largest Empire, To the map that is half unrolled!" As Great Britain holds the com mercial destiny of the Far East under the shotted guns of the most formid able fleet the world has ever seen, and cordially invites the Americans to share in the profits that may be taken out of it, even those of us Americans who delight in twisting the Lion's tail, may drop that feeble pastime for a moment, stand in line with the loyal British, charge our glasses, and drink: "To the Queen. God bless her." A REMARKABLE SPEECH. order to place the United States in their proper and inevitable place among the Nations. He recognizes the coming duties imposed upon the States and declares that they would be re creant to their duty, if they refused al liances. His plea is for an Anglo-American alliance. Scholars have earn estly made this plea before. But the Nation has not responded to the call. The limits of the American empire are so vast, its resources almost untouch ed, and its people so satisfied with their profitable isloation, it was diffi cult for them to look beyond the seas, and there was an abiding faith in the farewell words of the Great Leader. Mr. wmey does not speak as a scholar only. He has felt the pulse of the people. He sees that the hour of action, not of speculations on the future, is near at hand. He recognizes what he calls, "the present crying need of our commercial interests." These demand now an abandonment of the position of the United States as an "international recluse," and the forma tion of an alliance with great Britain, "our best friend," he says, "and most formidable foe is that world-wide em pire whose navies rule the seas, .and which on our northern frontier con trols a dominion itself imperial in ex tent and capabilities." There is no peanut jingoism, no mouthing at the British lion, nor pulling of his .tail. He calls for the patriotism of race, and not of country alone. In urging the breaking up of that spell which lies in the Farewell Ad dress, he declares for the real exten sion of American empire, in whatever way it may best serve to strengthen and increase American influence. It includes and rises above the question of strategic points in the Pacific. It takes in Hawaii as a mere incident of the larger movements. The Address is one of the most important educa tional titterances that has yet been produced in America. There is no better evidence of the extraordinary evolution of political and international relations, than the address of Richard OIney, Secretary of State under Mr. Cleveland, which he lately delivered at Harvard College, titled "International Isolation of the United States." It is the protest of a conservative Democrat against the building of the Chinese wall around the United States. While Mr. OIney, as Secretary of State, unfortunately, dis agreed with many American statesmen about the facts of the overthrow of the Monarchy here, he never distinctly op posed the political union of these Isl ands with the United States. Nor did Mr. Cleveland. They stood in the shadows of coming events. Mr. OIney declares that the United States can on longer remain under the spell of Washington's Farewell Ad dress. He admits its force in the past. He defines and limits it to the ordinary vicissitudes of European politics. He -would still maintain it with full force and effect in that regard. But he re fuses to be bound by it, in the larger relations which may be necessary in Referring to the present war, the Daily Chronicle, London, says: "The attitude of Great Britain, as the great monopolist of coaling stations and THIS DAY.

How a 'benevolent neutrality' can solve it. so as not to do injustice and yet not to do incidental injury to the United States is a question to which we will return when more materials are available, and when the strategy of the two fleets, on which the answer really depends, can be more easily foreseen." As we are also observing a "bene volent neutrality," towards the United States, we can only suggest to Great Britain that if she feels lonely, and shivers with the cold of natural isola tion, call on us, walk in, and warm her toes at our little tropical fire.

Yes, Scrofula, if anything, may be called the advertisement of foul blood. It is the ecourge of the worlr" offensive, painful, debilitating, stubborn and well nigh unendurable. Outward applications do not cure, they only drive the difficulty to new quarters. Emollients may palliate, they cannot abolish the evil. There i3 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 even where the system has been poisoned by long years of taint, and the ravages to be repaired are tremendous. That remedy is Hood's Sarsaparilla. Read this: "My daughter was afflicted with Im pure blood. There were running sores all over her body and they caused her much suffering. We tried medicines that were recommended as blood purifiers, but could not see that they did any good. A friend told me about Hood's Sarsapa rilla and I began giving the girl this med icine. The result was that she was per fectly cured after taking a few bottles. She has had no symptoms of scrofula sores since that time." Marietta M. Smith, South Middleboro, Mass.
