also for the country by devoting n por

which was submitted by Mr. LangiHe of
Hood River.
Miss Gladys Jones and Miss Harriet
Stovens, both of Portland, are in the
uity, and with the assistance of local
talent, will give a concert at the Con
gregational church tonight. Miss Jones'
has a remarkably good voice, and Miss'
Stevens has few superiors as a pianist.
Music lovers will not neglect the oppor
tunity. We received this morning a communi
cation from a gentleman in Antelope, in
which ho undertakes to answer a com
munication of Mr. Gourlay's appearing
in this paper a fow days ago, concern
ing the political status of Senator Mitch
ell. Wo gonerally take pleasure in pub
lishing communications, especially if
something in the paper has suggested
them, but we have to draw the line
somewhere. The communication in
question would fill a column, and if
there is a tangible idea in it, we failed
to find it. It has two faults. One that
the author had nothing to 'say, and the
other that he did not know how to say
t. We do uot mind giving a reasonable
space to even that kind of mental fog,
ut when it comes to a column or' two
of inane vaporings, it becomes a painful
duty to refuse it.

Leadership in the commerce of the
Pacific ocean is the natural heritage of
the United States, because the foremost
in ability among the many civilized na
tions inhabiting its coasts. That com
merce is barely In its infancy, but full of
promise of a giant development. Three
powers are already on hand to contest
etrenuously for the leadership. Great
Britain, Japan and Russia. Here, as
elsewhere on the ocean, Great Britain is
far ahead of all competitors. Russia is
preparing to enter the game in force, as
soon as her Siberian railway is opened
It needs little discernment to per
ceiye that' a great advantage in this
competition will be held by any power
which possesses the Hawaiian Islands,
on account ot their location centrallv in
the ocean and at the precise intersection
of the great natural lines of traffic.
But no power so occupying the group
would have as great, an advantage as the
United States, by reason of a propin
quity which enables America to rapidly
till the Islands with a population of her
own people, as well as easily to hold and
defend them. While the distance of
Hawaii from the American continent,
2,100 miles, is within easy communica
tion and control, it is far enough for a
powerful outreach of America into the
center of the Pacific traffic. If popu
lated by Americans, Hawaii will con
stitute a very mighty American outpost
for the purpose of dominating the com
merce of this ocean.
The elements which are to contribute
to this commerce are such as to render
certain an enoimous development at no
distant period. On one side of the
ocean are the 350,000,000 ot China and
40,000,000 of Japan, both nations highly
civilized and productive. On tho south
west is Australia, socn to count 5,000,000
and then 10,000,000 of thp powerful and
commercial British people. The Ameri
can Pacific states, will, in a few decades,
number 10,000,000, while the western
section of Canadian domain will prob
ably soon number 1,000,000. By the end
of the Twentieth century it is reason
able to expect European populations of
40,000,000 each in Australia and on the
Pacific coast of North Amenca. The
commerce now growing and to be de
veloped in the future between such great
populations demands active and timely
provision.
Honolulu, the capital of Hawaii, is
the central port of Pacific commerce.
What record is given there ot its growth?
As the most positive teBt, take the fol
lowing brief tabulation of the number of
ocean steamers arriving at the port of
Honolulu in the .lust quarters of 1890,
1893 and 189G:
Brit. Am. Jap. Total
1890 5 9 0 14
1893 11 7 1 19
1896 22 13 4 39
Notice the number of steamship ar
rivals baa near doubled in three years,
and is now three a week. Observe also
how rapidly the British numbers are
outstripping the American, being now
50 per cent of the whole, vhilo Ameri
can arrivals are only 33 per cent. At the
present rate of increase of trans-Pacific
steamer traffic, there seems indicated u
probability that withing ten years there
will be thirty arrivals a month at Hono
lulu. It is nearly certain, however, that a
new and highly stimulating element is
Eoon to enter the steam traffic of thu
Pacific, especially that part which must
cajl at Honolulu. That is tho opening
of a canal at either Panama or Nicar
agua, probably tho latter. A vast fleet
of steamers will soon commence running
from Atlantic ports via Nicaragua to
China and Japan. Nearly all of theso
will naturally call at Honolulu to re
plenish their coal supply. These may
possibly double the number of steumera
arriving monthly at Honolulu.
Now it is nearly certain that tho great
majority of those steamers will he Brit
ish. Consider the natural effect upon
Honolulu of being visited by say forty
steamers a month, to perhaps ten Amer
ican. Unless Hawaii is previously oc
cupied by an American population, and
is au American country, it must inevi
tably succumb to this piepouderating
British commercial influence. British
merchants and agents will naturally
multiply and possess the commerce and
the country. The advantage thus lost,
will not be so easy to recover ; nor will
it be so easy at a later day to take pos
session of what is already practically in
other hands.
At the present timo Hawaii is sub
stantially au American conntry, and is
practically in American bauds. That is,
American ideas and institutions pre
dominate, and a major part of the busi
nsss and the wealth of the country is in
American hands. A very healthy and
patriotic American colony of seventy
five years' growth in reaching Us fourth
generation. It has been nourished by
the immense aid of the treaty of recipro
city. It has greatly benefited by pro
pinquity to the mother land. Yet, not
withstanding those advantages, a Brit
ish colony of nearly half it? size has
grown up with it. With tho powerful
stimulus of an overwhelming British
commerce calling hero, it seems certain
that the latter class will outgrow tho for
mer unless this group Is speedily ndopt
ed as n part of the Union. Annexation
will result in pouring upon Hawaii nn
influx of American population which
will at once fix its destiny as the great
western outpost and fortress of Ameri
can domination over the commerce ol
tho Pacific. Hawaiian Commercial Ad

San Francisco, Feb. 8. A plan is

Local capitalists, who are reputed to be
behind the undertaking, were, it is said,
so impressed by the ease with which a
bill was passed by the Nevada legisla
ture enabling tho Corbett-Fitzsimmons
fight to bo held within the state, that it
is reported the sum of $100,000 has been
subscribed for the expenses of lobbying
the bill through the legislature.
