A NEW CLEARING HOUSE CALLED FOR

The crisis In Wall street seems to have passed.

vlOus day since the commencement OF the panic
week ago. and every one is now hopeful that by Mon
day the danger VIII have been passed. very large

and cooperation among sufferers by tho crash, 1t Is

Wall and Broad streets yesterday morning pre-
scented an unusually quiet appearance. Al ten
O'Clock there were comparatively few people in TIT
streets, and the localities which for ten days past
had been scenes of the widest excitement aud dis
order were almost deserted. small group
fingered about the doors OF Smith, Could Martin &
Co., and similar parties clus tered in the vicinity OF
the entrances to the Gold and Stock Exchanges; but
the crowds which had hitherto monopolized both
Broad and New streets had disappeared. Every
body seemed to be taking matters quietly, and to
new conner 1t would have been difficult TO realize
that those were the men and the localities
which hao created the great panic. AS the day
passed away the streets became even deserted. In
New street score blocked up tn entrance to the
Exchanges, and about equal number lounged
along the opposite sidewalk to watch the reports
of the gold indicator outside the Gold Room. In
Broad street drays and carriages moved around in
discriminatory, the bootblacks disguised with the
general dulness, yawned and dozed in their chairs,
and the few dealers moving about divided their time
between the Exchanges, the brokers' 0lces and
neighDorng restaurants.
THE GOLD ROOM
was better attended by members than it had been
since Tuesday, and the regular transactions OF the
board were engaged in with considerable spirit.
Prices opened at 1870 and maintained about the same
figure throughout the day. The following ore the

- New biography of shakes
Denrc.

Having read several old biographies Of Shakes
pcIre and found them unsatisfactory. we hailed
with delight the announcement that Richard G..
White had written n new biography, to accom-
pany the Plays Of the Great Dramutist. to be
published by Little, Brown < Co., of Boston.
The pcrusal of this biography is one of the most
painful and unsatisfactory tasks we have under
taken for n long period. After all the recent re-
search Of Shakespcrian scholars in England and
the United States, ami after the grand tri-centcn-
airy celebrations and Shakcspcrian Birthday Fcs-
rivals, we really supposed something had been
gathered together which would throw more light
upon the literary character of him whom the
world has been taught to regard and revere as
the author of .~sIIamlet.; "Othello.'' liking
Lear and some thirty other plays. The history
of literary men in ancient and modern times pre-
scnts no parallel with this phenomenon, that n
second-rate actor and business-manager of n Lon
don theatre, could produce n series of plays
which should eclipse all other writings of their
kind. We took up Whites Biography, thinking
that something satisfactory had been produced:
but, alas, it is just as meagre and .jejune as all
former and older biographies. From the first
paragraph of Whites Biography we quote as
follows
Although William Shakespeare was n popular
actor and author, and the friend of many persons of
distinction in his day, feLc particulars Of has per
sOHal iVe hare come aolrn TO pOSterity. Tradition
and the illusions Of his contemporaries furnish us
with little information in regard to him; and much
of that little information we owe TO the reverential
care Of another actor, Thomas Betterton, who visited
Shakespeare's native place, probably between 1870
and 1873, for the express purpose of gathering mate
rails for his biography
In view of the ptucity of materials unon
which to found a biography of Shakespeare's
life. we think his friends, admirers and biogra-
pliers had far better merely remark, in the style
of Moses, where lie alludes in the llth chapter of
the book Of Genesis, to the antediluvians

We have, says the Liverpool Albion, at some
little trouble, analysed the number of votes pOllcd
on behalf of Liberal and Conservative candidates
throughout the country. and the results (Which
are beyond disputc) are as follows: In England
and Wales there were pollcd for Liberal candi-
dates. l,2OS.Sj7 votes. and for the Conservative
candidates, 1918. giving a majority of Liberal
votes amounting to the enormous figure of 400, 6s2.
In Scotland there were polled for Liberal candi-
dates, l2l.926 votes. and for Conservative candi-
dates, 22,5S0, or a Liberal majority of 90, 34G, or
more than five To one. In ireland there were
polled for Liberal candidates. 1910 votes. and for
Conservatives 33.9SS. or a Liberal majority of
II 75Z. When it is remembered that in Ireland the
greater number of contests took place in old Tory
constituencies. this majority is equally decisive.
The gross result shows that in the United Kingdom
there were l.379,5l3 Liberal votes polled against
S55.743 Tory votes, or a majority of 523,77o Lib
cral votes.

Mn. EpIToR With respect TO an item winch
appeared last week in your columns, and OF "h'ch
item l hereby acknowledge myself to have been the
author, the editorial department of the Government
paper Of this week contains the following language
He (NIr. Dowsett) repaired to the office of the
manager of the paper, and assured him Of ITS entire
want Of Misunderstanding IT in language IN
mistakable. even by those who understand the Ing
lsh language but imperfectly. The manager refer
red TO Mr.. Curtis J. Lyons, who was standing near,
as his authority. Mr.. Lyons, in his turn. remarked
that DR.. Gulick was his authority
With respect to this last statement, L have simply
to say this: That l did not remark that DR.. Quick
was my authority, and what is more, DIR. Quick "aS
not my authority. had penned the item and handed
it in before l had even exchanged any words with
DR.. Gulick on the subject. The acting editor re-
marked on receiving the item, that he had heard the
same thing from other sources, but did not mention
any name. On Saturday he said TO Mr.. Dowsett
and myself that DR.. Gulick had told him the same
thing. and probably this expression was the founda-
ton for the assertion made by the Government paper
which assertion, with the diabolic references follow
ing, is evidently intended TO fasten the odium OF the
thing entirely upon one man.
may be allowed to add that the item was not OBJ
tanned . from the devil" or any of his agents.
When one of the Strong's Islanders made up his
mind to ship. he did think that he was bound home,
and gave that as one reason for shipping. He was
told to be on his guard, and by the very person
from whom had my information. L have good
reason TO know, too, that this was after the men had
shipped. Whether they were disabused of the idea
before they sailed is a distinct question, and one
with which l have nothing TO do.
1t may appear yet that there is more than one
person interested to see that truth and justice are
regarded between man and man. 1t was in oppOsi-
ton to my own party that as a member of the Legis-
lature 1 cast a vote against the passage of the Bill
authorizing this expedition, and it is certainly en-
couraging to find, now that the matter comes more
directly before the public, that others besides myself
perceive that there IS no essential difference between
this scheme and the coolie trade, and that they are
also ready equally TO condemn both.

that they had been taxed, supposing the taxes 10
be paid by some other individual, are compelled
to pay the two dollars additional costs. True.
they pay, and say nothing, but it Is not fair.
One desirable change in the law ,-and we know
Of government officers who recommend the same
would be the provision that after q certain date
taxes should be increased, say twenty per cent.
ifnot previously paid and this for a short period
previous to the final issuing of the warrant and
the placing of the matter in the hands Of the
magistrate.
The present system Of dividing the assessment
rolls only by blocks ard districts, without any
general index or alphabetical list, gives rise to
more or less difficulty, delay and confusion. Per
sons are frequently assessed in more than one di-
vision of the city, small as it is. If there is n
prepOnderance Of names beginning with 4, let
them be divided into those beginning Ia. he. IN,
dc. We understand well the difficulties of the
whole matter but in no case should the innocent
be marched off to the station-house to atone for
failures ON the part of government officials.
Another exempifcation Of the same principle
is the fact which came under our personal OBJ
seryation, and is undisputable, that in one district
of this Kiugiom-and doubtless in more than
one-a very large number of legal voters were de-
rriycd Of their privilege to vote by the careless in
efficiency Of the revenue officers in not recording
their names in the register. There is, 1t is true,
n duty on the part of the citizen to see that his
name is recorded,-if the register as all of ten or
twelve miles from mis- house. This does not make
it any less the duty of the officer to be faithful,
and affords an excuse only for nscality or igno-
rance. Some also lost their opportunity for voting
by the wretehed arrangement of the list used for
reference on election day, making it in the rush
and confusion difficult to find the different names.
Ii has also been Il matter of some complaint
that the tax collectors Office in Honolulu has not
been open rs regularly and continuously as it
might he for the benefit Of the public. We only
state the complaint as a fact.

Mr.. EDITOR Those few of our reading public
a communication, in which the principal of the Mill
lani school pronOunces Sc the whole story - regarding
Il girl who desired to be dismissed to the Kawaiahao
Female Seminary " an entire falsehood,'' and makes
the very lady-like % remark that she regrets "to
believe that the author knew it to be so when he
published it" Of course there is no need or posi-
bility of replying to the force of such words from
a lady.
To prove &c the whole story an entire falsehood . the
single fact is adduced that she did give the girl a
ing to the Beard of Education to have this simple
solution of the . falsehood - taken as satisfactory.
But, while we accept Miss Corney's correction on
the technicalities of that one point, the facts still
remain, that the mother and daughter at one time
felt, and represented the matter, very differently,
and that after two days attendance at the KawaahaO
Seminary, the girl was returned to the Militant
school, and that too without a letter of dismissal
from Miss Bingham, proving the statement of my
first communication, that " in this very town, it is
already difficult, not to say impossible, to secure the
release of a scholar from a government school, and
proving also, that it is sometimes at least very easy
to take n pupil from an independent into a govern
ment school, in violation of the construction of the
law put upon it by our educational authorities.
The friends of popular education viii not relax in
their close watch upon this whole attempt at intru-
sion upon private rights. VIGILANCE.
