5 O'Clock band Of $50 women, wives and
daughters of the strikers, marcl ing two
abreast and armed with stout clubs, ap-
peaIed on the scene, and after some alterca-
ton they compelled the men TO desist, and
work was not started. The Sheri ff7s posse
was driven back by the women, and the
latter are now in possession of the mine.
Military is now assembled in East st. Louis,

Though Lost to Sight, to Memory Dear

Many Honolulu folks will remember Grim J.
Arthur, man who came to this city about SIX
months ago and, though he only remained here
few weeks, he managed in that time to induce
some weak and conliding friends to fly his
kites - to the tune of several thousand dollars,
one individual suffering to the extent of $1,000.
Arthur went from here to New Zealand, where
he seems to have continued his Honolulu habits
of money-making and mashing. Before his de
darture all his bills for jeweIry, horses, clothes
and his luxurious living paid for him, and
he was even sent away with 5000 in his pocket.
\ Christchurch, n. T., paper of Both May
gives q long account of certain proceedings in
the Resident Magistrates Court against Grim
J. Arthur, who was accused of obtaining money
by false pretences, and sentenced to two months
imprisonment, with hard labor. In the evidence
adduced it is stated that Arthur spent 81, 900 in
Honolulu IN g entertaining his drunken associ-
ates, and in consequence of this liberal expend-
iture he had come to New Zealand, where money
had been placed to his credit Inspector Pender
stated in evidence - that the police were in pos
session of information which showed that the
accused had swindled some of the inhabitants at
Honolulu to a considerable extent; in one case
he had managed to obtain $4,000. Amongst
other things he had represented himself as
diplomatic agent of the Austrian Government,
boasting at the time of his intimacy with
the Empress of Austria, whom he said he had
accompanied to England on her hunting sea-
sons" After sentence was passed he placed his
hand on his breast and made a long speech. He
said: 80 Nefer haf meself nor me- ancestors been
charged in a Court of Justice. Nefer in my life
hat l done anything ungentlemanly, nor nefer
will do" He was still talking when removed
by the usher
The marvel is how the people here could have
been 50 gulled by a stranger in short space
Of time. and though those who suffered pecuni-
arily are no doubt annoyed considerably, yet
the experience, it ID hoped, will not be without
its good effects, and teach the oft-needed les
son that all is not gold that glitters.'

To the Opposition Press,

a contributor has sent US the following
application to one of Ksops' fables,
which he thinks is peculiarly applicable to
the opposition press of Honolulu
Envy is the most unnatural and unac-
countable of all the passions. There is
scarce any other emotion of the mind how
ever unreasonable but may have some
thing said in excuse for it; and there are
many of these weaknesses of the soul,
which Notwithstanding the wrongness and
irregularty of them, swell the heart, while
they last with pleasure and gladness. But
the envious man has no such apology as
this to make the stronger the passion is,
the greater torment he endures and sub
jects himself to continual real pain, by
only wishing i'll to others. Revenge is
sweet, though cruel and inhuman; and
though it sometimes thursts even for blood,
yet may be glutted and satiated Envy,
which is an anxiety arising in the mind,
upon observing accomplishments in others
which we want ourselves can never receive
any true comfort, unless in deluge, con-
fiagration, a plague, or some general
calamity that should befall mankind for,
as long as there is a creature living, that
enjoys its being happily within the envious
mans sphere, it will afford nOurshment to
his distempered mind but such nourish-
ment as Will make him pine and fret, and
emaciate himself to nothing"

The Telephone in Honolulu.

Several travellers recently coming from
the great cities Of the world have expressed
their establishment at the advance of Homo
lulu in having provided so largely for facil-
tiles Of telephone commandments
three hundred and more wires IN the streets
having excited the wonder and admiration
OF gentlemen recently from London, Paris
and Vienna. We noticed a short time ago
flourish in the European newspapers about
the enterprise of the King of Portugal in
having telephone communication set up
between Ajuda Palace and the Exchange,
lougafter King Kalakaua had provided sim
liar communication between Iolani Palace
and his capital. In telephone matters oar
community has illustrated very satsfactor-
lily its spirit of enterprise, but now there is
a reasonable apprehension that telephonic
business is going to be overdone. Several
hundreds of ugly tall telephone posts with
their several hundred telephone wires are
already a serious incum mbrance in the chief
thoroughfares. and in some parts mar their
appearance.
Now what would il be if we should have
all this not only duplicated but even tripli-
Gated. The Government has something to
say in regard to the location and style of
telephone posts in the streets and may have
reasonable grounds in the public interests
for objecting to too much obstruction and
to too many unsightly erectiOns, nOtwith-
standing the increased facilities of commu-
nication that would be afforded 1t is not
everything to be able to talk to folks, who
are miles away, along the wires:---and pro-
gress must not be allowed to take so COM
plete a hol upon us that Individual COM
fort and public convenience in other re-
spects should be considered of no import
ance. 1t hardly seems reasonable that
three telephone companies will be required
or that they will afford satisfactory Temun-
Grafton in this community, ut the same
time monopoly in providing for amy pub
lie want should be avoided; and when u
very few reap a large harvest in providing
for the public convenience, it is not only
reasonable but it is also beneficial to the
public interests that another association
should be set in opposition in order to mod
crate the charges of public benefit; but
should this competition run in an excess
of organizations, far beyond the commu-
nity's needs and prompted solely by specu-
lative objects, it may then be proper i'm the
of the Government to interpose Il
check to immOderate speculation.

South Sea Islanders.

Private enterprise again essays to induce
immigration of laborers from the South
Seas. On Tuesday next, Captain Trip
sails in the Julia for the region which has
of late years been known as the Western
Pacific" His primary object is to return to
their homes a number of South Sea Island
ers whose terms of service here have eX-
pred. But the owners of the Julia intend
to recruit for fresh supply of labor In the
New Hebrides and the Solomon Islands or
anywhere else where the right sort Of peO~
pie are to be found. The Government has
granted the necessary powers, and we have
no doubt that Captain Tripp's experience
coupled with the advantage he carries with
him on his mission of returning to their
old homes men who have spent some time
in these Islands, will enable him to make
the voyage a success. AT anyrate, he will
carry with him the hearty "aloha - of
large number of old friends and the best
wishes of all who are employers of labor in
this country. The importation of labor
from the South Pacific Islands has not
brought with it the results which were
originally looked for. Most of these people
want to go back again when their contract
terms of service expire There is nothing
SURPRISING III lulS. ne prospect Vi q
long lazy time on the return voyage
WILL of itself, always be an attraction to a
Pacific Islander. Even if he likes the life
OF laborer on these Islands he knows that
he can ship again at some future time and
have another long lazy time of it on his
way back He is not made of the kind of
stuff to resist the allurement of such
chances as these. Unless we firmly believe
-
turning were more frequent, we do not
think we shall ever see decided set of
population coming this way from the CEN
tral and western regions of the Pacific. We
are therefore glad to find the communica-
ton kept up even though there seems to be
no longer call for the Government to
maintain South Sea Island fleet do
more than see that the contracts to return
the Islanders at the end of their terms of
service if they wish to go are complied
with.

THE SCHOONER JULIA.
Captain Tripp's Mission to the South S

Captain Trips Mission to the South Seas.
Captain Tripp who sailed Tuesday in the Julia
with large number of returning laborers for the
Gilbert and Marshall Groups has received an
appointment as His Majesty's Special Commits
sioner for the Central and Western Pacific. He
will carry with him autograph letters to the more
prominent chiefs of the islands he is about to
visit with the view of establishing close relations
of amity between them and this Kingdom
After delivering his human freight, he will pro-
ceed to the Western Pacific to recruit for labor
ers on account of the owner of the vessel, Mr..
A. Frank Cooke, and will endeavor to establish
in the New Hebrides and possibly also III the
Solomon Islands the name of the King of
Islanders may emigrate with safety and with
profit to themselves. Mr.. F. L. Clarke accom-
panies him as secretary and besides making a
careful report of the incidents and successes of
the voyage, Mr.. Clarke will make a selection
of objects suitable for the Hawaiian National
Museum a special object of concern. 1t is
hoped that our long neglected Museum will reap
a valuable harvest from this expedition at a very
small cost The Hawaiian Museum ought to be
the museum of the Panifr and the Julia's trip
should give it a fair start in that direction We
wish Captain Tripp and Mr.. Clarke (who has
for some considerable time been connected with
this journalJ hearty aloha and a safe return
from the wild regions they about to explore

The Boston Foreign Exhibition.

| We are pleased to learn that the Govern
ment has secured a large number Of ex-
| hibitz to be forwarded by the Australia, to
the care Of the Hawaiian Consul at san
Francisco A. might be expected, the ex-
hibit Of sugar will take the lead in quantity
and in completeness. With the grades of
sugar shown will be exhibited specimens
Of sugar cane, which have been preserved
from witheriRg by having the ends Of the
sticks sealed with tar and bagging, also
molasses Of various grades. The kegs in
which the sugar is sent forward are hand
somely made and well-packed 50 as to ar
rive in good order The samples Of rice
sent are ACCOMPANIED by a sheaf Of the
rice in the stalk, giving some idea of how
the crop looks when growing. Not the
least interesting and valuable portion Of
the exhibit from these Islands are the sam
pies Of soils from various localities. These
samples, il is expected, Will be analyzed,
and the report of such analysis will be of
considerable general interest. The coffee
exhibit embraces samples Of this and last
years crop, and we doubt not but that the
quality and flavor of the berry will com
mand much attention. The woods of the
islands used for furniture, cabinet work. in
and pains have been taken to obtain par
ticulars relating to the supply and cost of
the various kinds. There are samples of
canned pineapples, tamarinds and guava,
Jelly in glass, well as taTO flour and des-
sicated tare prepared by the Alden process;
pulu, paia, and native tobacco will also be
represented. The valuable fibres of the
islands have been collected, with specimens
Of the nets and lines made from them; also
hat-braid, and the kopnn cloth with full
set Of the mallets used in its manufacture.
His Majesty the King, has loaned to the
exhibition a magnificent cabinet made of
Hawaiian woods, together with rare cOllec-
tiou Of shells. Portraits of the Royal
Family will be sent, a series of photographs
Of the railway of Hawaii, public buildings,
and other interesting views Illustrating
the growth of public Improvements and
private enterprises. There is also a series
of oil paintings of island views, and many
other interesting products, such as mounted
ferns, scednecklaces, stone implements and
other articles Of domestic manufacture.
samples OF the valuable pigments of the
group and building stones, rough and
polished, will he exhibited, a. also spec-
mems OF leather and book binding.
1t Is rumored that three gentlemen, we'll
and favorably known in these islands, will
be appointed To represent the Kingdom at
the approaching exhibition; and we have
reason to believe that the Hawaiian ex-
hibits will occupy prominent place at the
great Palace Of Industry at Boston.

THE OPIUM TRAFFIC.
How Il Is Obtained---John Outwitted---What Be-
or the Money.


During the progress Of a trial in the Supreme
Court this week, prisoner, who was telling his
own story, recouuted in detail a transaction that
had taken place in opium. He told how he had
been employed by "a couple of his fcllow-country-
men to go with them and procure from white
man, whom he understood belonged to some yes
sci III por. at that time, "a quantity OF opium. lie
related how he had been entrusted with sum
of money by the men who wanted to buy the
opium and that this money was given to the
white man. who thereupon went off ' to get the
opium but had not been seen since. as far as
the prisoner knew. Then the other Cinnamon.
who had left him to bring them the opium, when
they found that he hadn't got it, and that the
money was hopelessly gone, had him arrested on
a charge Of embezzlement, swearing that they
had given him certain sum Of money to ex-
change for them, and that he had not done so,
but had the money still, for all they knew.
The dates given by the different parties to the
suit were somewhat conflicting, and it looked
very much as if there had been two transactions,
or else that one side or the other had done con-
siderable false swearing. That the jury took this
view of the case was evidenced by the fact that
they found the prisoner d" not guilty" in about
three minutes.
There was but little doubt in the minds of
those present but that there had been some opium
transaction on the part of the Cinnamon and of
some white man unknown, and we do not doubt
bat that a large amount of the drug is smuggled
into this and other ports of the Kingdom, and
this through no fault Of the Custom House Off
Oials whom believe 10 be yigilant in the
exercise Of their duty.

GROWTH AND UNITY.
At Saint Andrews PrO-CathedraI.

The Rev. J. Wallace preached yesterday morn
ing the above subject saying, it seems strange
to us that the apostles dealt so strenuously with
their followers requiring that they should grow
and be united.
Let US examine ourselves and see whether in
hearts there is the requisite growth and un
ion required to accomplish anything in this
great work. Look back a twelve-month, we see
that we have really grown a year older, but have
We therein gained years spiritual growth To
become Christian is to grow as a child does,
receiving its nourishment regularly gaining
strength from day to day until manhood is
reached 1t is growth from childhood to man
hood.
Unity-Taking for an example the Cathedral
being built, as stone upon stone is-first hewn
and then placed in position, joint is placed
against joint all cemented to form compact
whole, must every Christian stand in unity
with the whole. AS the mason would be a fool
who expects his work to last without joining
we'll and using cement to firmly hold his-stones,
would the man be less a fool who expects to
stand alone in Christianity. My hand is a part
of my body and every Joint is necessary to
form a complete whole, so must every Christian
be joined in immediate union with the body of
Christianity, and form his part of the compact,
intensely compressed whole
Let US therefore be combined and not sepa-
rated because of a slight difference of opinion
this subject If We thus get ourselves prepared
what work be accomplished, what Joy
will be ours.
Then shall the world, seeing US working in
unity, growing as we work, follow example;
then shall men be drawn from wordIiness and
seek this abode of peace.
