Our now possessions lie nearly mid
way between Cuba and the Philippines,
both a to Itttitude and longitude. In
area thejr are about the sise of Con
necticut and Dots ware combined. Of the
twelve Munils, four are barron rocks,
one in the borne of leplers, seven are
fertile, beautiful, and peopled.

which pane through Muxico and Annum,

dlittant and to lie so fur out went In tho
Pacific ocean as to be semi-Asiatic or
"Orential," yet it Is several hundrud
miles this side of the western end of
AluHkaa possessions. Indued, should
the Philippines become ours, to remain
nndur the stars and stripes, we ehull
have to revise our use of the tcrms"eust"
and "west", Hawaii has a name easily
prouuuuced. Huntimimtally, it bus long
been part of America. It Is now so in
reality.
Although Spaniards first discovered
Hawaii, and some were even wrecked up
on Its shores, mingling by Intermarriage
their blood with natives, whose doecen
duule, the Kckoa, show a light skin,
Caucasian facial contour, and freckled
faces, yet Captain Cook's Is the first
Kuropi'an name associated with this
now bit of the United states, lie went
out Into the south seas to observe the
trunslt of Venus over the face of the sun,
setting sail from I'ly mouth lathe ship
Endeavor, lie succeeded handsomely,
lis addd the continent of the kangaroo
to Great Hritian, and returned In 1771.
On his second Journey, to discover the
suppoeed unknown continent Terra
AUNtralis, he left Plymouth July HI,
177U. In 1778 be got buck, having lout
but one man and hurdly a spar, to tell of
the Hawaiian inlands, which lis bad seen
in 1778, These he named alter the re
puted noble inventor of stratified re
fresh meats. This worthy fourth lOurl of
Handwlch, John Montague, who liked to
nlay cards without intermission, hud
bis luncheon, of slices ol bread Inclosing
ham, brought to him at the gaming
table. About this time our fathers were also
Interested In traueite, and the elements
for that of Venn over Hie sun's disc, on
December 0, 1774, were calculated by
our owu Uittenhouse, of Philadelphia.
The platform used by the astronomer
stood In lnleeud'tice square, and from
it the declaration of Iiideiendence, wheu
fully signed, wus read to the eople. it
showed a new born political star moving
across the diec of hietory. In our gu
eration w have seen, on July 4, 11)4,
the republic of Hawaii, rising out of the
sea, or a uew ator above the horizon.
This very mouth of July is rich iu birtlie
and transit ions. It is that also of the
dntch declaration of indoMndenca from
Spain, In 1570, as well ae that of the
ncceptuuc by the United Htates of
America of the gift of the tint republic
in tlie l'acitle, which henceforth shines
as a luminary in ths American galaxy.
How many people are iu our uew
oceauie territory? The latest census,
that of lUt), enumerated 108,020; mr
sons. Of pure Hawaiian blood, 8,045;
of Japanese, 2 5,407; ol Chine, Ul.OlU;
of Portuguese, 1&.1U1; leaviug 8.302

than In the nature of the subject of in
quiry. In reality the controversy illustrates
the old story of the shield with two
sides, for nature seems to point out that
both theories are true. The well-mapped
ocean world, so long studied by hydro
graphers, shows clearly that the Hawa
iian came from both the west and the
eaet, Bret from one and then from the
other. Wheu we study the action of
that great I'aciflo Gulf stream called the
Kuro Hhlwo. or Jlluck Current first
scientifically studied and described by
fan tain Hi I us Dent. U. 8. N. we find
nn Pinlination of the mystery and the
rwmwilliition of onnoslng theories.
From the tropical ocean boiler a river of
hot water runs up from tneftiamy Arcui
nelairo past the Philippines, Formosa,
Itiu Kb. Kurlles. and the Aleutian
islmide. Then flowing down past the
const of California and northern Mexico,
it bends In half Its volume westward,
And. as the Equatorial Drift Current,
streams toward the Sandwich Islands
and back to Japan. A tree uprooted In
a monsoon off Luzon will drift nortti
ward, and westward, and finally bs
stranded off Oahu. "swinging around
the circle" In a wav that mliiht have ur
nrised Andrew Johnson. Doats disubled
and driven out to sea have done the
same thing. 1 have the record ol scores
of such waifs. It was the freouent res
cue of these Japanese junks with dead
and living men onboard, by American
ships, which first led to the repeated dis-
putch or our vessels ana miaiiy 01 e
fleet to Jannn. Only last year a Japan
ess ititik that had been swept in this sem
Iclmilar and recured current stranded
on one ol the Hawaiian Islands.
Furthermore, the analogies of Ian
gunge and the remarkable basic similar
Itv of personal and household arrange
moiits tn tlie wnoie isiuun worm, irom
the I'hlllolncs to tlie Hit kan and Hawa
iian ArchipelugofH, show that the North
American "Indians," of ull sorts and
kinds, and tho ilawaiians are as closely
related to one another as are tne van
ous Furoiwun nations, He who studies
the line of natural lighthouses, the chain
of landmarks, the unceasing food sup-
ply lying along that great circle, irom
the I Malay Archipelago to Central
America, has little trouble to account
for the orliciu of the natives of America
iu Hawaii,
A rough glance at their history shows
the old storv ofconrniers and conquered,
suiHreetinff that every portion of the
earth has been foudaliied or its land
held In military tenure. Just as the
Malays and Japanese lived under forms
of fesdalisin even before any Meudec
I'into or Captain Cook changed the un
lettered nitcht of prehistoric times into
the dawn of written history, so the
Hawaiian bad wrought out a feudal
system not Intrinsically different from
that of Modiii'vnl Europe. Even today
keen observers believe they can trace
the blood of the old chiefs, who through
the centuries of war had struggled
toward centralisation of authority, lie
foro whits men came, Hawaiian society
consisted of two classes those who
owned land and those who did not. Dy
the time Cook arrived, there were only
five or six independent rulers, each of
whom in his petty kingdom was suzerian
over vassal chiefs who supplied food or
military service. These lower chiefs
were iu turn served by the middle men
between the rulers and the people, the
latter being little more than serfs. This
tendency to centralization became In
carnate In Kamehameho, who at the
eud of the lust century bad made him
self sovereign of the whole archipelago.
As in our days there hue been a tendency
!u hermit nations to aelf-reformatlou, so
in Hawaii it seems hardly possible to
deny that, without Ion-Inn influence
(thcuirh it Is ouite possible that the little
infusion of Hpanieh blood may have had
some transforming power), there was a
tendency of Hawaii toward emergency
from barbarism into civilizatiou.
The victor-king having strengthened
Hit kingdom, died iu 1H1U. Fitly today
bis statute, iu heroic attitude and
ancient garb, stands in Honolulu. The
Hawaiian symbol of sovereignty wus
not crown or scepter, sword, mirror, or
crystal ball; not almanac or coiuage;
but a feather cloak mads ol thousands
of "wee modest feathers," tipped with a
spot of color, which grow singly on the
inner bodies ol a species ol little birds
nearly extinct. Under the courageous
leadership of his sou and bis widow, the
ngtvold system of Taboo was over
thrown and the reactionary purty de
bated in battle. Then a wild storm ol
IconocluNtii burst upon the Islands. The
icouoclasU dwtt roved the idols so thor-
oiiKhly that it wom with difficulty there-

cross hut by the millions. No one could
ever locate here, or even imagine,
Christmas-tree in these isles, where
branches are ever laden with color and
delicacies.
Onlv an occasional hour of work is
needed to keep the taro-patch in order
The trrass seems to be a permanent bed
in vitinir to continuous naps, while the
flowers, frucrunt and beautiful, lure to
amusement aud decoration. The Kanka
will indeed ride his pony purchased for
what the man in the song found in his
inside pocket to town, and there on
the dock or post-office steps, chat over
the news by the hour: but hard work
has no charm for this son of the sun
His wife and children, like himself, love
flowers. His daughter, flower-garlanded
and eschewing side-saddle, rides astride
a horse and gallons over road and street
like a "scorcher." Like ber father and
brother, the maiden Is at home in the
surf, having learned to swim when
baby.
We are not likely to be oppressed
financially by our fellow citizens. Hawaii
bas not yet reared a native millionaire
or a Hhylock, The Kanaka can keep a
fruit stand, atlsii stall, or a curio shop,
but his is not the Inheritance of the cun
ning Jew or the shrewd Yankee, The re
sults of centuries of mercantile training
are not in him. Though he makes a de
lightful servitor behind the counter.it
Is rare indeed that be is found in the
counting-room, or that bis name appears
In that oiailrm known abroad as well
as at home. Nevertheless, you will find
him at all occupations. He makes
superb boatman and fisherman, a good
mechanic, bookkeeper, compositor, aud
even editor, lawyer, and minister. He is
a politician also, bat as a cunning fol
lower, never as a forceful leader. Life
bas been too easy for him and his an
cetors to enable htm to compete with
men from Old or New England; with the
Chinese, who have reduced competition
in practical life to a science; or oven with
the restless J a panose.
If, as some German philosophers say,
the potato has caused the decadence
and proved the ruin of the Irish, so the
turo has prevented the developemenr ol
the Ilawaiians, This rater-plant, so
common in China and Japan, has found
Its most congenial home In Hawaii
1 here Is no "martyrdom of men," to
use Winwood Keade s suggestive phrase,
in Hawaiian agriculture. Drop the ta
ro either in the irrigated ditches, any
where, or even on the uplands, in the
moist climate ol llilo, continue to plant
at odd times during the year, and one
acre will yield enough to sustain
eighteen men during twelve months
One small natch, kept from weeds by an
occasional hour of labor, will easily feed
a whole family, "Ten acres enough,' in
Yankee land may safely lose its decimal
In Hawaii and yet suffice for a bouse
hold. This ciop, which never fulls,
togetbor with bananas, wild oranges,
cocoanuts, and fish, makes sustenance
too sure. There ,1s not enough ol the
"dicipline of uncertainty" for tho best
human developement.
Our uew fellow-citizen finds bis chief
food in pol. This he makes by cooking,
scraping, and pounding taro, waiting
torn slight fermentation, adding water
and beating into paste, Then, probably
after bis fingers have been greased with
roast pig (somewhat after the most ap
proved style hinted at In Charles
Lamb's "Dissertation") or even with
flried fish, he whips a goodly mas
around his forefinger, aud hoists it into
bis mouth,; without call for fork or
spoon. In modern times bis bouse stove
very likely consists ol an old kerosene
tin, cut out at one side and on the top;
but for aa open-air feast he uses an oven
dug in the earth. In this his pigs, cuts
of beef, and the meat food generally, are
wrapped up In taro-leaves. Then the
packages, being protMtrly stratified into
a five or six decker sandwich, guarded
by moistened banana-tree fiber and luid
between red-hot stones at the bottom
and a top muse of earth, are steamed
during five or six hours. This process
equals Delmonico's, and beats tlm revol
ving spits of our hotels, in bringing out
the flavor. Thus the most deliciouely
cooked viands for their famous feasts
are served on pulm-lerves al fresco.
Neavertheless, the labor lor such a
feast is a severe tax on the Kanaka. It
means a spurt. Then conies the inevi
table reaction. Fond as he is of drink
ing and beiug merry, the llawaiiaa is
still more foud of recovering weariness
by resting long in "sweet doing nothing."
No wonder that the eeasulexs industri
ous and thrifty Chinamen beat the na
tives at farmiug and Iu most lines ol en
deavor that require manual labor while
the brainy lankee and huropeun rich In
nervous force excel him wherever pro
longed head-work Is required.
This is true ol the majority. 1 here is
another side, of course, and a nobler
side, but of the minority It is a serious

from the Azores and Madeiras to labor
on the plantations. Their capacity for
improvement is shown iu this, that as
soon as the Chinese were imported in the
summer of 1805, the 1'ortUKUnse, espec
ially those born on the islands, turned
their hands to the work ol skilled me-
chanics. Mont of the public improve

army of 20,000 "Japs," among whom,
as it seemed impossible to doubt, were
many ex-soldiers, there was genuine
alarm. When, further, the Imperial
government took interest In their pres
ence and sent men-of.war to the island
to look after the sons of Nippon, there
was consternation among the Americans,
who were dearly hoping, yet with fear,
to see what we now behold. When, fur
ther, t hese annexationists contrasted tho
splendid modern steel cruiser Naniwa
with th uutiipiated wooden war ships
of the United States, they feared that
between the increasing emigration and
the political ambition of the Japunese,
Huwaii was certain to become a portion
of Dai Nippon, Indeed, after whipping
the Chinese and ripping open the colos
sus of China for European aggression,
the average Japanese abroad was not
excessively modest. This fear of Japan
was not allayed wheu Hawaii became a
republic. It seemed imperative that
wise regulative measures should not be
counteracted by Jspuuese craft and un
scrupulous. Vhe annexationist
bent the big drum rather noisily aud
strained their throats
