The Hochi Shimbun and the Yomiuri Shimbun urge the Government not only to protect the Japanese in the Hawaiian islands, but to take advantage of the present opportunity to raise the prestige of this Empire and its subjects there. The former paper is very frank on this subject. It states that the present juncture affords the best opportunity for demanding the franchise for the Japanese residents. If necessary, intimidation, says our contemporary, should be employed.
The metropolitan papers in general seem to be inclined to believe that the Royalists will have the upper hand in the coming struggle in Hawaii.—(Japan Mail.)
