KALAKAUA,

The Sandwich Islands-over which the indi

eral authorities exercises a nominal sove
reignty, while the real power of the govern

nearly hundred years ago, that celebrated
navigator being subsequently killed in a fight
against some of the natives.
Owyhee Tor HawaiD and Oahu are the two
largest islands Of that Archipelago last
named one containing the port Of Honolulu.
In 1925 the population Of the Sandwich
Islands was ascertained by a census to be
142, 900 Inhabitants but the last one, taken
in 1872, reduces that number to 56, S97, OF
which 40, GA are of the pure native or Kanak
race, 24S5 are mongrels or half-breeds, 1888
are from China, $50 from the United States,
619 from England, and the remaining 1922

The area Of kalakaua's kingdom is 600
square miles, and is tqual to that Of about six
OF our Louisiana parishes. This is the mag

SO much fuss is made at the Federal head
quarters.
The Sandwich Islands being about half way
on the direct line of travel between California
and China, this circumstance gives them the
only real importance they have as regards this
country. In 1872 their exports and imports
amounted to about $4,000, 600, their exports
being mainly sugar, coffee, rice, tallow, hides,
beet, mutton and ship supplies.
The natives Of the island belong to the
Malay Or Polynesian race, and under the
beneticent rule Of Kalakaua and his carpet
bag ministers, they are reported by all recent
travellers to be rapidly dying out. If after

opening Of that beautiful hall, named after
the great st. Patrick, the Patron Saint of dear

THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL.

In States where there are no Major Gener
ais Of the United States army and soldiers to
give support to local government that has
no legal claim to existence, and the officers Of
which are unscrupulous, reckless and op
nressive because of their abiding faith in the
protection promised them by the National
Executive we find there is some respect paid
to law and the rights of the white people.
Efforts ON the part of negroes to force them
selves into theaters In other cities
are promptly met by the mana
gers and effectually defeated and
when recourse is had to the courts by
plaintiffs, there are NJ such judges as Lynch
whose sworn duty seems to be to protect the
negro, defy the law and stand by the Repab-
lican party at all hazards to render judg-
ments against the defendants. Common sense
well as ordinary justice, not partisan spirit
and blind devotion, govern the minds OF
judges in the free States, and they are thus
able to render judgments in accordance with
justice and right.
These remarks have been prompted by a
perusal of judgment recently rendered by
Judge Griswold, Of the Superior Court of
Cleveland, in case brought under the Civil
Rights bill. Benz Gardiner. colored man.
instituted suit against John Ellsler, manager
of the Cleveland Academy Of Music, Calming
damages for being elected from the theater,
after having purchased ticket Gardiner,
on being requested to leave that part Of the
house, the dress-circle, on the understanding
that his ticket money should be refunded, re-
tired and brought suit under the Civil Rights
bill against Manager Ellser. Judge Griswold,
i'll his charge to the jury, stated
"a theatcr was a private establishment, |
and that manager had right to exclude |
whomsoever he pleased from il. The civil |
rights act, he stated in his charge, has no ap-
pication whatever in this case. This plain
tiff has right to bring suit for a breach of
contract in reference to admission to the thea
ter as ii he were white man. But every man
has the right to use his own property as he
sees fit, so that he does not inju e the person
or property OF others.
''In the conduct of ones own business
man is not bound to consult the feelings or
tastes of others. He has no right to injure
their persons or character or property. So /;
long as he does not do them wrongs, or COM
nit nuisance, he may conduct his own bust
ness in just such manner and on just such I
rules as he sees fit. This right appertans as I
well to white as bl ick. It is conceded that I
Mr.. Ellsler conducts the Academy of Music
for his own private gain, and if he sees fit, in I
the management Of his business, to provide |
and establish rule that no person Of color t
shall be allowed to enter the dress circle, and 1
he enforces this rule, 1t is no ground for any {
action against him by such person. Mr.. Gar |
diner the plaintiff, might establish theater, Z
and if he saw tit, he could establish a rule i
that no white person should be permitted to I
enter the dress circle or any other portion of a
ne house"

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.
Oh, Where has Seelye Gone!

After Edgar A. Seelye had performed the
dirty work laid out for him, and got into
trouble in consequence, Boss Packard having
no further use for him took from him his
commission as Deputy United States Marshal
and left him to wander in this cold world
alone.
A few days after his discharge Seelye dis
appeared in mysterious manner and has not
been seen Since in this city.
EThere are many inquiries as to where he
has gone, not because Of any friendly interest
in Seelye- he has no friends but because his
presence in a certain case now pending is de-
sired, and it is believed that fear OF the re-
suit of the court martial has considerable to
do with his absence.

their lady friends, and even acquaintances. do
not sustain his conclusions
If the men of Orleans are impoverished
and oppressed by the usurper and his min
ions, and If our ladies have been insulted and
their refined, womanly feelings outraged by
the appointees of Kellogg, and the rough
negroes taught by them to do so. these are
reasons why the men should make their usual

Another method Of employing electricity as
means of indicating the presence of fire in
buildings, in season to prevent the catastro-
phe Of a confiagration, is due to French inge-
nuity, and is said to be an improvement on all
others OF this kind that have been brought
forward. In this arrangement, two wires, in
sulated from each other by gutta-percha, are
corded together into a cable, and are con-
nected at one end with a battery and an cleo
trio bell. When fire breaks out in any part
Of the building through which the cable
passes, the gutta-percha is freed, and the
wires come in contact, thus closing the cir
cult and ringing the bell. The condition of
the apparatus is tested by means of a peg COM
mutator at the other end of the cable.
According to the report OF the Secretary of
the Interior, the sum of S21 1853, 416 has al
ready been expended in building and operat-
ing the Northern Pacific Railroad, while the
amount Of its Indebtedness is S31, 55s, 631.
There being no money in the treasury of the
company, it follows that the difference be-
tween the amount expended and the amount
borrowed, or S10,3O5,2 15, has disappeared
without any record of what has become of it.
The company is now anxious to obtain fifty
or sixty millions more from the government
to enable the road to be completed. Has any
part Of the missing $40, 305, els been reserved
to Influence" Congress? Was it all expended
in procuring favorable legislation long ago?
The st. Louis Republican, referring to the
probable acton Of the Louisiana Returning
Board, says: ''If the board shall on one pre-
text or another throw out enough returns to
give the Kellogg partisans false majority,
and thus place before the whites the alterna-
tive submission to the Kellogg side for two
years longer, or rebellion, we need not be sur
prised if they choose the latter, and repeat
the history of September IA, with some ma
terial variations.
