It does not forbid ihe exercise of necessary guardianship over the natives, but, on the contrary, ri tires it to be exercised, whatever objec- tion to such guardianship ill-disposed per- sons may have prompted them to feel. But whatever contro! is found necessary and whatever government is to he esiablished over them, they should treated with all the favor and cordial regard which is due to their long exercised hospitality and kind- ness to Americans while they were in the position of guests in the country. Especi- ally may it be taken to mean that the live Hawaiians should be, after annex: on, endowed with the mghts and priv! mean that all leges of American citizens so far as they are capabie of ully exercising such privileges; and I hope to show that to a great extent they are thus capable.

The truth seems to be that there is a childish condition of many races and peoples, out of which they need to be uplifted and educated before their wishes can be consulted or their con- sent asked how they shall be governed. The consent_of children to their govern- ment is never to be asked, and savages are in statu puplllari. Condition of the Hawatians. The Hawalian people, however, are much advanced in the process of emerging from that inferior condition, and it has been found safe, as part of the educative pro- cess towards freedom, to Intrust them with some voice in the government. This edu- cative process was begun more than fifty years ago through the influence of the missionaries in the hope of fitting them to participate in what was manifestly com- ing in a not remote future, free constitu- tional government by the peopie. A limited suffrage for representatives in a lower house of the legislature was given to such of the common people as possessed a mod- erate income. The upper house was com- posed of nobles appointed by the king. After forty years, thit suffrage was ex- tended by having the nobles elected by such persons as had an income of $600, or Froperty amounting to $5,000. That new provision was extorted from the king in the revolution of 1887. The same pro- visions for suffrage were continued in the constitution of the present republic of Hawaii, and have so far worked satis- factorily. The fitness of the common natives for unlimited suffrage has never been main- tained here. As stated above, the king's chiefs never admitted such a thing; they always restricted them to voting for the lower house, reserving the appointment of the upper house to the king, who took care to have a senate in sympathy with his own views. A considerable number of natives enjoy the required income of $600, and can now vote for senators; but they are naturally men of intelligence superior to the masses. It is true that all the natives are able to read and write in their own language, and row a large minority can read and write in English. Under the present system of public schools a ma- jority will be able to do se in the course of ten or fifteeh years. It does not seem probable, however, that even that amount of education weuld alone make the natives generally competent to control by their votes both houses of the legislature. It would still be necessary to retain that very effective guaranty of fitness which is as- sured by the fact of being able to earn such moderate income as 1s in the reach of any industrious mechanic or other skilled worker, as now required. While every twenty years witnessed and continues to witness a very marked advance in the civilized Intelligence of the ives in thelr acquisition of property, d in their mental culture, there do yet still cling to them a body certain ‘in- heritances from the heathen conditions of the past, which seriously impair thelr ca- pacity for political self-government. They are peculiarities of sentiment and charac- ter which would promptly remand the majority of them back under the heel of their ancient despotism, if left to them- selves without the control and guidance of their white friends. One of these is an almost inveterate tendency to supersti- tious fears, subjugating them to the con- & trol of heat and sorcerers. The average Hawalian is still more or iess in bondage to such fears, and being in such bondage, cannot act independently as a free citizen. It still remains true that a large proportion of the great mortality among the natives is directly caused by the Kahunas medicine men, of whom the bulk of the people are in more or less fear. When any sickness occurs their fear is apt to become most abject both in the invalid and his relatives, and the Kahuna’s services are called in at heavy expense, while at his injunction the free services of the government physicians are avoided. Abolition of the Priests. This pojsonous superstition was always a leading engine of despotic political con- trol. In his book, “Following the Equator,” Mark Twain neatly satirizes this feature of heathen kingship. Liholiho In 1819 abok ished the idols and the tabus. As a meas- ure of reform, this was all right, but a fatal mistake for a king, who should not attempt reform. The superstitious tabus constituted the great safeguard of his despotism. It was “the most reliable friend a king could have. He destroyed this mighty priesthood and ritual of the tabus “and his kingdom is a republic today in consequence of that act. When he de- stroyed his church and burned the idols he @id a mighty thing for civilization and his Deople’s weal, but it was not ‘business.’ It was unkingly, it was inartistic. It made trouble for hig line.” “Forty-seven years later, when I was in the islands, Kameha- meha V was trying to repair -Liholiho's blunder, and not succeeding.” “Long be- fore that the kingship had itself become but a name, a show. At an early day the missionaries had turned it into somethin; very. much like a republic; and here lately the ‘business whites have turned it into something exactly fike it.” Mark Twain was slightly inaccurate in attributing to Kamehameha V the importa- lion Irom Engiand of an established church wherewith to fortify monarchy. That was Gone by his predecessor. Lobkamehameha y used more direct means by actively re- the old sorcery, licensing some 3v0 na sorcerers, who made a successful ss of waking up the dormant super- itions of the christianized people. He did this expressly for the purpose of resubju- gating the people to the royal power, so as to make the legislature subservient to his will. Kalakaua subsequently went to an extreme in that direction for the same pur- fairly organizing a strong heathen With this 1 of the pose, part to control the legislature.

Superstitions Worship Checked. Since the queen was dethroned all this destructive bedeviling of the native people has. received an effectual check, and civil izing, Christianizing influences predomi- nate. There is now little possibility that the ancient heathenism can again erect it- self into a political power, as it did under the late dynasty, having been a conspicu- cus clement in the queen's fatal attempt to supplant the Hberal constitution by a despotic one. Under the present enlight- ened government the Kahuras are out of power, and can only work under cover of darkness. The native people are rapidly growing in intelligence in the presence of the fast ddvancing wealth and culture of strong white population, and under the effeciive influence of the Strong training in which some 800 native youth canes d. the other by d of her then are The very large amount of education which the natives are now receiving, and the con- sequent rapid increase of superior intelli- gence among them, must go far to weaken nd dissipate the above stated disabling superstitio nd other defective sentiments, and to qualify a considerable portion of them for large enjoyment of voting fran- chise. This good degree of education will also qualify them to profit ty association with the Americans, who are sure to em- igrat: hither in large numbers as soon as annexation becomes a fact. These natives have ulways been highly receptive of en- lightening Influences, and will absorb in- telligent republican ideas, in which they are already moderately rounded. There can be little doubt that in due time they will quite generally become capable of usefnily participating in a popular form of government. Americanization ef the Islands. The main fact of importance ts this: That these islands are so deeply and thor- cughly Americanized that the new Ameri- can immigration will find itself completely at home here. All Americans now find themselves at home. They habitually and spontaneously speak of ‘this country,” when they mean in America. One con- stantly meets this phenomenon in the con- versation of newcomers; they forget that they are out of America. We old settlers are more sensible of a difference, which is every year growing less. But the Ameri- canization of both town and country here is growing very complete, and no great or radical changes will follcw annexation. We are waiting for the expected new po- Ltical arrangement with no extreme im- patience. It is something inevitable—cer- tain to come in the necessary and natural order of things. So we discern things here. Hawali is to find its unavoidable and cer- tain destiny in thé bosom of the American Union. It is already an American com- mcnwealth, except in the name. Our news- papers, our schools, our churches, our so- cial institutions, all are thoroughly Ameri- can, So are our government, our court our trade, our shipping, which last could not be more thoroughly American if we were already annexed. In that event we shall hardly see any more American flags commonly displayed than row, or fewer of any other country. At last advices your Senate was about to open debate on the Hawaiian question. We have little doubt as to the result. KAMEHAMEHA. a STREET NOMENC Mr. Schuldt Thinks Any Change Would Be a Calamity. To the Editor of The Evening Star: The Commissioners have recommended, and their recommendation will no doubt be considered, an entirely different plan of street nomenclature from that contem- plated by Judge Hagner. Their scheme ts to have three or four series of names, one for each section of the city, whereas the origi- nal proposition was only for two series, northern and southern. The plan now recommended was suggest- ed by Mr. Thomas W. Gilmer, the inter- esting and voluminous contributor to The Star. Although generally on the popular side of a question, Mr. Gilmer's present ian cannot fail to excite antagonism. As attempted to demonstrate in The Star of December 30, 1897, the plan of Justice Hag- ner was most illogical, confusing and com- plicated. Mr. Gilmer’s scheme, however, as advocated by the Commissioners, is quadruply so. Oh, ye gods, what a predicament we will involve ourselves in yet, with this street nomenclature change. The ‘eminent Amer- ican” fallacy of Justice Hagner is to be feared, but from a four series system, “Lord deliver us.” Why not alternate? For instance, Adams street, Buffalo street, Champlain street, Dakota strect, ete. Why not mix them up? Think of the advantage it would be to our tricky memory? We would then have a memory system in our own streets. Think of the education it would afford our youths. They could se- cure a whole day's teachiag by simply gasping, open-mouthed, at the numerous newly lettered lamp posts. Think of the many other benefits derived trom ch a system. Dignity, as advocated by Judge Hagner, would be preserved. The “terri- ble’ confusion resulting from the letters B, C, D, E, G, P, V and T, would be obiit- erated. The present undesired simplicity would also be expunged. However if this plan cannot be put into operation the Gil- mer scheme is next worse. The Hagnerian plan is the best, because it has the least anges, and the least we have the better. None at all would be perfecuon. If a change must be made let us have the sim- plest. I contend, however, that a change in cur present nomenciature is ci‘irely unneces- sary. If we have outgrown our A B Cs why not elimmate eur 1 2 3s. The two go hand in hand aad ure Inseparavle. Admit- ted that there are a few defects, such as must necessarily exist in every great cit the remedy lies in renaming these few it regularities, and not those of the eniire city. As has so truly been sald: “Con- venience and simplicity are far more im- portant than historical and sentimental considerations.” If this be true, as it is, then we now have the best system that could ever be devised, and any tinkering would be folly. The fundamental principle of street no- menclature should be its simplicity. Wash- irgton ia bisssed in this regard. Its sys- tem is so logical, or simple, that a stranger can, in ten minutes, comprehend the entire pian. But how different this wocld be un- der either of the contemplated chang2s! Chaos would reign supreme. Our pres:nt tranquillity regarding street simplicity wculd be dashed to atoms, and confusion would usurp its place. Complications would be elacted, and contentment, the present incumbent, will be defeated. Al- though having spoken to many, I hav: as yet not met a single citizen who is :n favor of so radical a change in our street nomen- elature. ‘They have enjoyed the lappy privilege of fi sSoehesegoegongondondoadeateatoatontefoeteeseesgeeteetateeseeteeaseatensenteeteseesoe tie see a seete MB reese nist tien he teotiote Did you get one of the $ 8D and 5D-98 Steen wrappers © 88° —or are you putting off com- ing until tomorrow?

Notwith- standing Justice Hagner’s axs2rtion that there is too much confusion in the <Ipha- betical syStem, our citizens generally are well satisfied and fail to observe where the ecnfusion exists. Ths fact’ that’ during the entire ten years of Justice: Hagner's agitation this condi- tion of affairs existed without being brought tp a climax sooner demonstrates without a doubt that our citizens do not desire a change. If a change had been de- sired, they would have secured it without delay. But candidly, they appreciate the present so-called A |B C system and will stand by it. Fhe oft-reported fact that a very small appropriation could put the change irito op2ration does not enter into the question. There is no doubt regarding the economical manner in which the change could be made, but the question is regarding, the change itself, not th> mer- cenary consideyations. Bither of the two systems would be im- practical, flogical, confusing and absurd. ‘That timé-honbred adage, “time is money,” would be amply, vindicated in the numerous >xasperating delays which would constant- ly occur.
