British Valor.

Washington Capital: Sir Edward
Thornton distinguished himself al
the fire at Stewart Castle last Tues
day night. For a long time it had
been considered that a diplomatic
corps was only useful to make
gaudy show at receptions, and to
import the airs of foreign aristoc
iacy into the American markets.
Sir Edward, however, by his activ-
ity on the occasion of the fire,
showed that diplomates could do
other things besides dancing. He
was on the ground early with his
coat buttoned up to his throat, his
hat on one side OF his head, and
wearing that rakish air peculiar to
to second-ward firemen in the old
days of the volunteer fire depart
ment. He shouted, grabbed hold
OF the mattresses, pulled a bedstead
to pieces, damned his foot through
Thousand dollar mirror and other
wise made himself useful. 1t is re-
lated that he demanded the privi-
lege of "holding the pipe" AMI the
firemen not being willing to trust
him, he seized a spanner and rushed
into the flames, fiourishing the in
strument right and left, to the greet
destruction of crockery. When the
fire was over, and there was nothing
more for him to do, there is a le-
gend afoat that he was seen wend-
ing his way home in go-as you
please style, with fireman's helmet
in his hand, and look of profound
triumph about his otherwise dead
fall expression of countenance.
Such a diplomatic is really useful,
and Congress ought to make some
provision for recompensing the
British government for Sir Edwards
valuable service on this occasion.
He acted the noble man that he is
by his immediate and substan tial
kindness toward Mrs. Stewart and
family. Sir Edward Thornton is
one of the few representative titled
gentlemen, in the genuine sense of
the term, we know of.

Let us thank Him for the rose
W hich the summer season lends;
For each blade of grass that grows,
And the sunshine that He sends;
For the daisies's drift of snow,
And the sunfower's golden shields;
For the straw berry plants that SOW
Small white stars throughout the field
For the thistle's purple crown,
And the hawkweed's yellow hood.
For the crocus in its gown
And the wild bird in the wood.
For the milkweed, spilliIg out
All its hoard of silkeD skeins;
For the brooks that sing and shout
Louder after heavy rains;
For the stars that nightly rise,
All the heavens trimming;
For the rainbow in the skies,
And the cricket's hymning;
Thank him tor the red leafs glow,
For the vines increase,
For the promise of the snow,
And the wide worlds lease!

" Pro Tenn. /.

EDITOR GAzETTE 1T has filed me with sorrow
and indignation to see that you could lend your
columns to sfch illiberal not to say disloyal cor
respondents as Mr.. Lanter. 1 half suspect that
this is merely fictitious name, for do not
member hearing of such a person as A. p. Lanter.
If he is honest enough to sign his own name,
certainly it is the name of new conner, probably
of some advsnturer," jealous of the energy,
patriotism and far-seeing loyalty displayed by
Captain d. Whaliey Nicholson, who modestly, and
as think appropriately has designated himself as
" Honorary Secretary pro tenn, of the Royal Ha-
waiian Planters Association. Mr.. Lanter does
not content himself with trying to cast insinla-
tions and inuendoes against the Honorary Sec
retary pro TEN of this Association, he has to make
his filings against His Majesty's Ministers, accus-
ing His Excelency b. A. z. Carter of diplomacy
for not accepting an office which was not even Of
fered to him by Captain Nicholson, and be
aides he basely suggested that the Honorary Sec
retary pro tenn is trying to worm himself into pub
lie notice and to get for himself some Office or
lucrative employment Perhaps Mr. Lanter thinks
that His Majesty will overlook such Sights cast
upon the Royal Hawaiian Planters Association,
and thus indirectly upon himself If SO, he has
not pondered well the words in Captain Nicholson's
prospectus, that His Majesty has been most
gracously pleased to interest himself in its objects
and place his patronage on record by taking the
office of President" Does Lanter think that he
has any better right than Captain Nicholson has to
' fix things" In advance, or to get his Majesty to
accept the office of President? The loyal
subjects of His Majesty will not allow such
carping fault-fnders A. p. Lanter whoever he
NAV be to deter them from completing the Royal
Hawaiian Planters Association upon the broad
and beneficial basis which Captain Nicholson has
so skillfuy laid out for them. If the public think
that the gentleman who has thus placed himself
in the breach, so to speak, is of the Moreno or
Gibson stripe, or that any deeplaid schemes or
private interests concealed behind this auspi-
cious beginning, the public may soon discern
wherein it errs. Hoping that your correspondent
will find his mean aspersions hurled back upon
himself, am Sir, A. D. ONKEY.

specuiatinns and trading voyages which earned
him to various parts Of the world. In 1884 Mr.;
Peirce took cargo of sandalwood to China, and
then went North to Kamstchatka in 1886 he went
again to China and then to New York IN 1881 he
returned to Honolulu; but he almost immediately
sailed again for Tahiti and thence to Valparaiso,
where he sold his vessel the Peya and went across
the Continent to Buenos Ayres In 1883, Honolulu
was once more revisited and voyage undertaken
to the Coast.
In ls43, Mr. Peirce retired from his partnership
with Charles Brewer, having accumulated for
tune of 100000, larger sum at that time than
the same amount of coin represents now In lof4
he made trip TO Europe. The year 1S4S found
this active mEn in San Francisco amid all the
vbIrl of the gold fever; in 1919 he visited Honolulu
and China. From 1850 to 1861 MIR. PeIrce resided
in Boston, living the life of wealthy man, but
still engaged in large business speculatlons. Inc
Grill war sadly crippled many merchants re-
sources and amongst others those of the gentle
man we are speaking of in spite of all disaster,
however. he was a most active supporter OF the
Union and assisted in recruiting and sending INTO
the field the 9th 12h 14th, 5Srd and 54th regiments
of Mass. soldiers. In 1866 MIR. Pe1rce attempted
to retrieve his losses by buying plantation IN the
Southern States, but his speculation only involved
him more deeply; any one who has read the Fools

attempted to develop the South after the war Mr..
Peirce was obliged to sell his mansion IN Boston
by which he realized SS5.0OO. With this ne PAID
off all his liabilities From 1869 till 1877 we can

in this city Many of us have during that Pe!lo9
experienced his genial hospitality. he exercised
considerable influence over our relations with the
United States and helped TO draw closer those
bonds which now unite the interests of the two
nations Besides financial loss Mr.. Peirce has SUI
fered the far keener pang of seeing his only son
mind give way and this must certainly be the
hardest blow that has fallen upon life of varied
fortune. Mr.. Peirce is residing in San Raj

IHERE are some statements reported in the San
Francisco Press concerning the recent ministerial
imbroglio which ought to be corrected in Justice
to all concerned. For instance, statement is
made there, to the effect that Mr. Spreckes induced
Mr.. Green to take office with Messrs Bush, Jones
and Kuaea, in order to discover what was going on
in that Cabinet and that the Moreno mission.
and the demand for a recall of the diplomatic
corps were then found out resulting in the forna-
ton of the present Ministry. We have never heard
Mr. Green's version of this story, but our acquaint
ance with that gentleman leads us to the confident
belief that he accepted his first portfolio for no
such purpose and on such suggestion, but solely
from his desire to assist in restoring public con-
hdence IN the government, and his view that he
could get on well with Mr.. Bush. 1t was currently
reported. and we think with truth, that Mr. Kuaea
and MT. Jones were temporary appointments, un
III the King could get an Attorney General from
the States, and select permanent Finance Min
lister. Undoubtedly Mr.. Green saw that he could
not with proper regard to the national honor and
7'elfare do otherwise than resign the moment he
earned of the extraordinary action which his late
colleagues had taken. His resignation made It
necessary for those colleagues Immediately 10 re-
sign, and led the King to appoint their successors
sooner than he otherwise would have DONE But
there is reason to believe that new appointments
would soon have been made if this deuouement
had not occurred. The diplomatic faesse attribut
el to Mr.. Spreckels was we believe entirely an
after-thought.

procure Hindu labor. Whatever may be the object
of that organization we should like to know if any
planters have taken, were invited to take any

The Adrerfiser-EIpress intimates that we object
TO the proposed Royal Hawaiian Planters Associa-
ton because it is initiated by "Britishers.' Our
sagacious neighbor jocosely enquiries whether we
wish the association to emanate from German,
or Norwegian, or American quarter, or from what
quarter. We answer that as far as we have heard
the views of the planters, they utterly indif-
ferent to the nationality of its orginators or mem
bers, but that they intend that their association
shall be initiated by and composed of planters.
We dislike provincialism. For ourselves, we
trust that we are duly thankful for our American
birthright. But we do not choose TO be
" crowded" by other nationalities, nor to heed the
conceited assumption which some unfortunate
people put against that land of the free - SO
on the other hand do not intend to make our
Americanism offensive by boastfuness and by try
ing to obtrude it upon those of different origin
1t is only men of narrow and provincial minds, or
whose social experience aud opportunities have
been unfortunate, who put on condesc cending and
impertinent manners towards those who are not of

MR. BANCROFT of San Francisco has done and is
doing valuable work for the historian of the fu
ture; besides his vast collection of printed works
newspapers, pamphlets, legal documents, &c. he
has very interesting series of short biographies
in manuscript of all the men who have been con-
nected with San Francisco and the West Coast in
its early times. Occasionally the gentlemen who
have supplied this material give the results to the
world, and by last mail we received short bio
graphy of a man, Who for fifty-two years was con-
nected more or less with the Hawaiian Islands.
This is Mr.. II. A. Peirce. The pamphlet gives ms
some little account of Mr.. Peirce's ancestry, it
mentions French origin, but we first get upon
firm ground with bluff Capt. William Peirce of
London, who was engaged in bringing some OF the
earliest settlers from England in the ship Lion.
Capt. Peirce received the first patent TO Plymouth
Colony on June lst, 1921. Members of the family
distinguished themselves in colonial history in
various ways Thus a brother of Capt Peirce
fought alongside Miles Standish, the man of .if
you want thing done do ii YOURSELF fame AGAINST
the celebrated Indian Chief King Philip. Four of
the descendants fought during the war Of indie
pendence. The father of the subject of the
memoir which we have received was Secretary of
the Board of War for the State of Massachusetts
in lSl2-I4, was commissioner from that State To
Washington upon national affairs some wears
later and was clerk of the court from 1917 to 1879

OUR friend of the Saturday Press takes our cor
respondent to task for his letter which we pub
lished last week concerning the pro TEN secre-
tary of the proposed Planters Association. We
are ourselves unacquainted with Capt Nicholson,
but have heard him pleasantly spoken of, and GER
tainly have never heard of anything against him
as gentleman. We have heard that he hopes to
invest in planting upon Kauai but that he has not
already done so. This, however, is utterly i'm
material. ANY gentleman, however irreproachable
his antecedents or intentions, may sometimes COM
NIT errors. We can not help thinking, as we init
mated last week, that the steps taken by Capt.
Nicholson, and the qualified acceptance of Office
by Messrs. Green and Walker, were all premature
and unwise. And although we should sincerely
regret to saying anything to hurt the feelings of
Capt. Nicholson, or of Messrs. Green, Walker or
Carter, still are of the opinion, that the pro-
posed association will not be planters associa-
ton.
We shall leave our " Lanter'' correspondent to
reply to the lecture on manners and fair play,
which our contemporary of the Press has read him.
