WRONGS OF A NATION. ALL history there is nothing more powerfal nor more piti- ful than the plea and position of the native Hawaiians. Under their constitutional kingdom they had the right of ingly gave it to the Americans domiciled suffrage. They in their country without any form of naturalization or requir- ance to the United States be abjured. The most they ever made was that these Americans, who could vote one month Honolulu and the next in San Francisco, should take out certificates of “denization,’”” avow- ing themselves denizens of Hawaii, without expatriation from the United States. This most reasvnable policy was the cause of the revolution, which was aided by the naval presence of the United States. When this was accomplished the amiable na- tives found themselves deprived of the suffrage by the very men upon whom they had so prodigally conferred it, and their voice in the government of their country silenced violently b; the strangers who bad fed and fattened on their hospitality. At Washington and in the press of this country the siory n holidays celebrated in Hawaii, of the reading of the Declaration of Independence on the Fourth of July and the observanc: of Thanksgiving. Nothing is more natural than that the 2 per cent of Americans in that land who were never in the right sense citizens, who are in temporary possession of it for the purpose of selling it, should show no Hawaiian patriot- It is not their country. Its traditions do not appeal to them. Its Listory is not their history. Itsflag rouses no more emotion them than is found in the pirate who hauls down the colors of his prize. But with the native Hawalians it is different. Though Senator Morgan marks official announce- ment that ‘“itis not our policy to consuit the natives of any country which we wish to annex” the natives offer to our Con- gressmen such humble hospitality as they can command, say- ing: **We bhave no wealth out of which to entertain, for what was ours has been taken from us by the government.” They plead friendship for the United States and are sincere in it, but they say: ““We love cur own country and we want it left to us. , while friendly to the United States.” ing that al extreme demand runs of Amer: ism. in We are patriotic for Haw. It is possible that the cry of these peopie will not be neard in the Senate, that it will not impress the country. Already it is published to the world that the United States frown upon any i-annexation sentiment w expression of a among the natives, though they are 35 per cent of the popula- tion and the Americans only 2 per cent. Instead of appearing as the suppressor of public opinion, it should be the care of this Government and the pride of its people to encourage and protect such expression in Hawaii. The Dole Government exists by violence and denial to the ma- jority its rights, and this violence is solely the work of the United States. President Dole has never submitted himself even 1o the restricted suffrage bis revolution created. He is President of a so-called republic, but was never a candidate for the office before the people, and there are evidences of such ais- cord among the 2000 people who are permitted to vote that if an election for President were held he would be defeated even by the machine he has go carefally created. Metropolitan Temple recently rang with denunciations of ism in the poli b cs of San Francisco. Now bossism in this city rests and has always rested upon the criminal capacity ofa few men to practically disfranchise the majority by crimes against the ballot. Iu’this way a minority runs the citv gov- ernment, but <o far it has done no worse than sell us out to a 1 few corporations. It has not peddied us in the world’s market and put our sovereignty up for sale to the biggest and greedi- est bidder. In this respect Boss Dole is a long step ahead of our various bosses, and yet his act is approved by the men who de- nounce bosses at home. Notwithstanding the reports about Japan the world is wait- ing passively for us to fix our own character among the powers. ‘We established this republic upon tbe firm thesis that all gov- ernments derive their just powers from the consent of the gov- erned. Theworld waits to see whether adhering to that at bome we seek extracontinental jurisdiction based upon its violation. As for Japan, she has people and treaty rights in Hawaii, and if watchiul of these her duty to herself is no menace to the United States, though it serves admirably as material for ap- peal to false patriotism. The impulse to be liberal Thanksgiving is general and there is no exeuse for discouraging it. For this reason the scheme of the Hearstlings is to be deplored. People want to give where they know the gifts will do the most good. They do not like to put even so small a thing as a turkey in the hands of an agent in whom they have no particular reason to have con- hidence. If the Hearstlings will name a committee to count the turkeys perhaps public faith wovld be in a measure established. But to ask peovle to t without security, a fat Than ser to the Eraminer management, sgiving bird is asking 100 much. There are several men at San Quentin or Folsom on leave of presence for twenty years for having engaged in the footpad industry, but this cily seems to have several more who could be spared to swell the colony. Perhaps it would be a good plan 10 offer a premium for the scalps of highwaymen. Certainly the popular distaste for beinz sandbagged st one’s own door is founded on sumething more than mere prejudice. NO BONDS FOR CURRENT EXPENSES. HERE is an issue between Governor Budd and Mayor Phelan concerning the tax levy made by the latter. The Governor says it was understood tbat the Fire and Heslth departments should not be crippled in the levy. This is denied by Mayor Phelan, who at the same time seems to admit the in- sufficiency of the levy and the prospect of a deficiency by sav- ing thatit can be met by issuinz bonds. Whnen a city issues bonds to pay current expenses it raises a signal of distress which denotes it among municipalities. Tre CaLLis not vitally concerned in the partisan emorgencies of that wing of the Democracy which is now as wildly enthusiastic over the dis- graceful overthrow of its city government as it was over the election of the same less than a year ago; but the people will be quick to see the hypocrisy of a aollar-limit levy and a bond issue to pay the current expenses which it leaves deficient. An evening paper speakiny of the yellow Ezaminer used the expression: “When the turnkey stalks behind.” The yellow editor is said to have shuddered with borror upon seeing it. Probatiy a hasty glance had made bim read ‘‘turkey” for “'turn- key.” There are matters upon which a Hearstling can be sen- sitive, and this bird is one of them. Bateman Brothers have been given tbirty days in which to formulate a rezson for desiring thirty days more in which not to push their contract on the Hall of Justice. They are very good to consent to accept an extension of small doses. Charity should request the police to keep an eye on some of its self-appointed agents. A CHEEKY BOODLER. HE charge that an opponent in controversy is always Tgoverned by improper motives is the readiest ‘‘ argument” of the newspaper boodler. Misrepresentation, sophistry, bluster, falsification and the other weapons with which jour- nalistic scallawags carry on their campaigns against public and corporate treasuries are all subordinated to the vociferous allega- tion that their motives only are lofty and noble and that the motives of every other person are corrupt and debased. No brains are required to make such a charge ; in fact, the asser- tion that every man except the one who conducts a boodle newspaper is degraded and dishonest naturally at all times rises to the lips of those engaged in befuddling the public with loud protestations of journalistic virtue. The principal boodle newspaper in San Francisco is the Examiner. Not long ago it was caught with a railroad con- tract in its pocket which called for $30.000 worth of “ adver- tising’”” from the Southern Pacific Company. The contract covered a political campaign and two sessions of the Legisla- ture, and contained a proviso that in consideration of the pay- ment of the money at the rate of $20c0 a month for fifteen months the railroad corporation was to receive ‘‘fair” treat- ment at the hands of the guerrillas who, during the period, might happen to be holding up corporations with the Examiner. Indisputable evidence that the contract was corrupt was found in the fact that when the Southern Pacific Company refused longer to be robbed and violated its obligation, notwithstand- ing $8000 was still due and unpaid, no attempt was ever made to collect the money and no action was ever brought for the breach. Persons of delicate sensibilities may marvel that a convicted boodler of this sort should hold up its hands before the world and declare that it is a holy of holies. Yet this is exactly what the Examiner has done for two days last past. It says that THE CALL has *‘turned tail” on its previous policy toward the new { Board of Supervisors and has joined with other “professed highwaymen of the press” in an effort to reinstate the old board. The logic of this is in that supporting the appoint- ments of the new Supervisors and the effort to secure the good government which those appointments represent the Mission- street boodler is alone in its moral glory. In other words, the charge is that the other papers, not one of whom has been convicted of signing $30,000 railroad contracts for ‘‘advertis- ing”” with the Southern Pacific, are under the ‘‘lash” of the corporations and are pursuing policies with respect to the new Board of Supervisors which are paid for in coin. If the Examiner were not a convicted as well as a yellow journalistic garroter it might with some propriety claim the ssession of all the cardinal virtues and attribute all the car- dinal vices to its contemporaries; in fact, it might without offending anybody imitate the ordinary drab in protesting too much ; but it is an insult to the intelligence of this community for that degraded and foul-smelling newspaper boodier to charge anybody with corruption or with ‘‘turning tail” when it itself has been convicted of the most stupendous journalistic crime known in the history of California, and when it is a notorious fact that it itself always ‘*‘turns tail” on its policy the moment any person comes along to guarantee an ‘‘adver- tising™ or other contract. THE CALL’S policy toward the new Supervisors is plain and undefiled. We indorsed the appointments of Governor Budd and Mayor Phelan on moral grounds and we predicied better government as a result. We have criticised in tem- perate phrase the leading feature of the policy of the new Su- pervisors and we have advanced what we consider sound arguments to sustain that criticism. We believe a dollar limit on taxation for a city like San Francisco to be a narrow and silurian policy, and we believe it to be especially narrow and silurian now that we have twelve honest men as Super- visors, who would have expended increased appropriations economically and judiciously. If all this is “turning tail,” then we are proud to have presented our terminal appendage to the horrified gaze of the Mission-street footpad. The truth of the mattzr is the Examiner is now engaged in an attempt to bulldose the Supreme Court. It fears that the decision of that tribunal in the mandate proceedings argued yesterday will restore the eold Board of Supervisors to place and power, Because all the newspapers which have hereto- fore commented upon Judge Wallace’s ruling will not join it in its wild endeavor to control the action of the higher court it is charging them with being in the pay of corporations. It is sufficient to say on cur behaif that THE CALL is not in the business of influencing the judgment of courts of justice. Man are elected to those tribunals to render decisions on the law as it is found in the statutes in cases that come properly before them, and we expect them to do their duty. If the Supreme Court finds in the mandate proceedings that the tax levy of the old Board of Supervisors is the legal levy, we shall cheerfully abide by the ruling. The levy of the old board is substantially like that of the new, and in any event the silurians cannot be damaged by it. It is, indeed, better that the law should prevail than that even honest Supervisors should serve out the terms of the “Solid Eight.” A govern- ment without law would be even worse than a government of newspaper boodlers. If the yellow highwayman of Mission street did not have some corrupt motive to subserve in the assaults it is now mak- ing on the Supreme Court it would subscribe to this principle also, for it is the first and most frantic to appeal to the law when it or any of its blackmailing crew fall into the clutches of the courts. When the people of K-ntucky havea pleasing dury to per- form it is hard to stop them. Recently while a revival was in progress there necessity appeared for hanging a citizen. Im- mediately uprose the worshipers, brushed the dark and bloody dust from their knees, and having hanged the citizen, returned to the seemly attitude of thanksgiving and praise. Seldom has there been an opportunity to observe business and pleasure so picturesquely mixed. The ring supposed to have been formed for the purpose of murdering the President of Mexico has tackled what might technically be expressed as a hard game. Diaz doesn’t want to be murdered, and the fellow who tried it the other day has per- manently retired from business. Can’'t the members of the ring try something mild, iike suicide, and be satistied? Itis far more difficult to reform the world thar to get out of it. The mourning widows who bob up every time a rich bache- lor dies may be ali right. Inaeed, their grief may come from tbe heart and their weeds not be a bluff. But they must excuse people for withholding sympathy. ‘‘Weep and you weep alone,” is particularly apt in a case wherein the tears are sus- pected of being crocodile. Many people who do no: take much interest in prize-fights, and only wish that the race of pugilists would hammer itsell into kingdom-come, wonder vaguely why Mitcheil is coming from England to California for the purpose of getting thumped. ‘Why can’t he fall off a house and have his fun nearer home at moderate expense? Ll R ‘Weyler dentes so emphatically that the town of Managua bas been captured as to confirm a general belief that the news is true. Even yet the Greeks chafe under the restraintsof anignoble peace. They evidently think a running match in which the long-distance record is shattered is something in which to take pride. Spain is advertising for help azainst the encroachments of the United States, but responses have not begun to come in. Apparently everybody has a better job. Weyler's demand for more otficials shows his desire to replace the type-writing corps, most of whom must have suc- l cumbed to corns on the fingers. PERSONAL. W. J. Esler of Brentwood is at the Russ.

New York Sua A man who cheerfuliy admits that he is un- known to fame reecived the following letter last week: “DEAR Srr: Your name is known to us through a newspaper fricnd in the city, and it oceurred to us that you might have some un- published mannseript on hand could use a few short stories and some fllus- trated descriptive articles if they were ot of the ordinary run. *“The Blank Magazine is issued as a supple- ment to the Suuday papers of most ot the Eastern cities, and we are now pushing it in the West.

The names of the con- tributors were unknown to me, and irom the fact that mome of them appeared a second time in this giit magazine 1 concluded that they only printed sample matter. SALARIES OF SUPREME JUSTICES Washington Post. “It seems to me absurd that in such & pow- erful and rich country as the United States you should pay your Supreme Court Justices cuch beggarly salaries,” remarked Hugn Childers, a London barrister, to & Post men. “In England we have altogether about thirty Judges of the Supreme Court who draw an- nual salaries of $25,000. Lerd Russell, Chigf Justice, is allowed $40.000 a year, ana te Lord Chancellor’s pay 1s $50,000, or just what you give your President, but the Lord Chan- celior comes into office and goes out with his arty, while all the othcrs are for life or dur- ng good behavior, which is about the sime thing.

As good-natured Francis Joseph is not in ths habit of passing an unfavorable criticism in public. the conduct of the Bosnians must have been very bad indeed. Bosnia is the latest acquisition of Austria and was assigned to that country by the Ber- lin congress of 1878. The revolts in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1876 nad furnished Russia with a pretense for her last war with Turkey The treaty of St.Stefano compelled the Sultan 10 cede a part of the two pre es to Serv and another part to Montenegro. Ausir England and Turkey were not satisfied wi such an arrangement, and it was for that res son that the congress of Berlin was called Disraeli and Count Andrassy threatened leave the congress unless Count Schuwalcif the Russian representative, agreed to ann that part of the treaty, and to this he wus nolens volens forced by a decision of b United States representotive, Mr. Kasson, who had temporarily relicved A.

This settled the matter viaand Montenegro vere concer: not settle what was 1o become of it took four more days of wiaugin finally settied by the congress asking to annex the disputed province.

THE RAINES Liquor LAW—W. G. F., City. The Raines liquor law of New York was signed on the 23d of March, 1896. its provisions are complex and mulititudinous. One claim for it was that it removed the liquor trade from local poiities. Under ils provisions the annual tax on_ an ordinary liquor- shop in_ New Yi city is ¥800 per sonum; Brookiyn, ulations between between 50,000 » 000 and 5000 0; ull cities witn por 00.000 »nd 50,000, § 0 ; d 10,000 $350; between 10, 00; betwe-n 5000 and 1200, 00; all oulier places, $100. There is no dis- ination in the tax ween the sale of ts and the sale of wine beer. Sunday opening is forbidden. No liquor-shop is to be within 200 fect of a church or schoo'house. No new liquor-hop is 1o be allowed in a residence disirict without consent of two-thirds of tne property-owners. There are restraints on groceries and on clubs. Local option as to the sale of liquor is forbid- den to cities, but is granted 10 towns. The State Commissicner has four deputies and sixiy ipspectors. One-third of the liquor *tax (net proceeds) goes to the State treasury, and two-thirds to the cities, counties and ‘towns where levied. The law has, as a tax-law raising revenue, been a suc- cess, but as & law restricting the sale of liquor it nas not metexpectation.
