EDITOR BULLETIN Having care
fully considered the New Bank Char
ter / am impressed with its striking
advantages to the public, and would
suggest that these advantages wouldbe
greatly multiplied by merely extern
ding the privileges of this charter to
every Hawaiian citizen.
Let every man who has the where
withal to purchase bonds do so,
deposit them, draw interest, and
issue his personal notes for an amount
fully equal to the bonds. The notes
would be secure, have they not the
bonds behind them? Every man
could double his wealth in q jiffy,
and the only people to complain of
so national Il plan would be those
impecunious wretches who could get
no bonds to start with.
Yours philosophically,

ment began, and babe him goodbye
and that was the last of him asa gentIe-
man. -
Baker underwent his sentence like n
stole, and upon its termination lett
England and offered his services to
Turkey. The war of 1876, with Russia,
was lust on. and the Sultan was only
too glad to get such q man. he was
made pasha and given the command OF
the cavalry. and from that day to the
present Valentine Baker has been III the
Sultan's service. He introduced vari-
ous reforms. and improved the Turkish
army in a way and with a rpldlty tha'
has excited the admiration of Europe
When Suleiman Pasha was defeated he
covered his retreat in a mastery man
ner. and with twenty-five hundred men
kept thirty thousand Russians III check
Since then his advice upon Eastern sub
iects has been eagerly sought by the
British government. His recent labors
in EQypt are too well known to require
comment. A man who can do such
things in the face of what would crush
most men must necessarily WIN
the admiration of his fellow.
beings, and especially OF
his countrymen. A reaction in popular
feeling long since set in, and now 1t has
eliminated in a pronounced movement
in favor of his being reinstated IN the
army. Naturally there is considerable
opposition. In the main it may be said
to come from officers inferior to him IN
every way, who fear his superior ability.
The Prince of Wales is working hard;
but the Queen, true to her obstinate
preiudices, so far remaines obdurate.
Letters by the hundred, pro and con,
from people of every description, many
from ladies (all of whom are on Bakers
side). fill the columns of the daily and
weekly press; and if nothing more comes
of it, it will at least have afforded people
something to talk about and quarrel
over. If the most sensible opinions
prevail. the nal will be restored to his
rank and position. He has been pun
ished enough for, at the most, a half
hours folly, and England's army Is tC
weak in generals to spare such a one a.
he would make.

Electric Light Fading Out.

John i. Swift, writing from Paris to
a friend in San Francisco, says that up
on revisiting Paris, after six years alb
sence, he was surprised to observe that
the electric light had been driven from
the b~ouIevards and shops of that city.
When he was a resident of Paris six
years ago, the electric light was regard
ed as a success, and it was believed that
in a short time it would supersede the
use of gas. He now finds the electric
light almost entirely given up, and gas
again in universal use. He accounts
for it by saying that the rivalry had
succeeded in bringing about such an
immense improvement in the quality of
gas and the appliances for its burning,
that electricity had been unable to hold
its position. In the encounter gas, by
its purity. clearness, and cheapness, had
driven its rival from the field. The
Place de rOpsra, and the streets 'front.'
ing it, were at one time ablaZe with the
electric light. In London the Thames
embankment was lighted with electric
ity. Gas has taken the place of the cleo
tric light in London and Paris. 1t was
found in these cities of cheap coal to be
more expensive, and has not, with the
modern improvements in the manufac-
ture and the new burners employed,
been able to make Roadway against the
old method.

HawthOrne's Suppressed Stories
llian Hawthorne in the May Century

Julian Hawthorne in the May Century
The witches always had a special in
terest or fascination for my father, as
might be inferred from the character
and tone of the illusions to them in his
published writings. But it is perhaps not
generally known that he wrote a num-
Der of tales having witches for their
subject matter that were said by the one
or TWO persons who saw them to be
more powerful as conceptions of weird
and fantastic horror than anything is
the printed volumes of short stories.
But these tales never emerged from the
manuscript state and were finally
burned by their author, because, as my
mother told me he had explained to
her, he felt that they were not true.
That is, I suppose, they embodied no
moral truth; they were mere imagina-
tive narratives, founded on history and
tradition, and had not the spiritual bal
apce and proportion of what Hawthorne
would deem a work of art.

What so-Caued Society Demands

In Friendship" Ouida puts her
finger upon the exact line which divides
social life from all other kinds OF life.
For indeed man is both a social and an
unsocial animal; there are times when
he Graves companionship, and times
when he wishes te be alone. To regu-
late this ebb and flow, and to give con
tinuity to the social instinct-this. and
this only, is the function of society. In
very truth, society is little more than a
huge club. As Guide says: "There
are many things to be got by society,
and vet, after allit asks very little. So
ciety only asks you to wipe the outside
of your cup and platter; inside you may
keep any kind of ~nastiness that you
like, only wash the outside; do wash
the outside, says Society; and
it would be a churl or an
ass, indeed, who would refuse so reason
able a request" Now, there is much
truth here bitterly expressed. Society
is not directly governed by the laws of
either God or man, but governed by its
own laws. Is a man a scoundrel? If
so, can you and are you willing to prove
it, not merely to the satisfaction of your
own friends, but in an open and notorl-
Gus way, so that Society may know it,
and be authorized to make the necessary
moral distinctions? Society is not inn
moral; rather is it immoral. And Sc it
happens hat a woman may be the mis-
tress of your best friend, and yet, if she
be only suspected, if she pays all her
party calls, she will remain in society,
not because society loves sin, but be-
cause sometimes it is utterly unable to
exclude it.-Argonant.

Love Making In Mexico.

Love making in Mexico is a desperate
passion--it is no trifing bit of senti-
ment. The Mexican is an animal OF
rude instincts in this matter. In fact
Mexicans-I mean the ruling class, the
men with white bloodin their veins do
not trust each other. As arule not one
of them will trust any other a moment
alone either with his wife or daughter.
Before marriage the girl is kept I'M
der constant vigilance, not permitted
to speak to her lover till he has courted
her for months from his perch on horse
back, or to be in his presence alone I'M
til after marriage. At marriage the
father hands over the keys to
his daughters husband and the
Imprisonment is eve more rigorous.
For a married woman to receive any
man alone in her parlor, even once, IS
enough to enrage her husband and COM
promise her reputation. For the Mex
lean and Spaniard assume that men
and women are always vicious if they
have an opportunity. l know
of a lady at the Hotel Anglais here who
STAYS in her room constantly-as o n
stantly as if the door were locked.
Her meals are sent to her and she does
not cross the. threshold of her room
from one week to another, excepting to
mass on Sunday. If a Spaniard should
| call upon her and succeed in getting in
to her room, even to inquire about her
husband, it might seriously damage her
good name.
In sonme cities of the Republic a
curious habit prevails of compliment
ing unknown ladies on the street. Oh
course the lady is accompanied by ia
ther, brother, or duenna' and it is con-
sidered by all parties quite proper fol-

Faith in Popular Gullibility.

Faith in the inexhaustible credullty
of the masses has been the foundation
of many Il charlatan's fortune. At the
time of the South Sea Bubble, when
new projects of the most wild prepos-
ferrous character found promoters with
ease. an astute and audacious adventurer
advertised for subscriptions to an enter
prise the nature of which was to be con-
cealed for a certain time, and he actually
made several thousands of pounds out
oft, the people paying for shares with
ind eagerness. With this ~adventurer
deserves to be ranked the ingenious bu
~unprincipled American citizen who has
inst been arrested for doing an ex-
tensive business in advertising all
manner of enticing things to be
sent on the receipt of post
AGE stamps. Cases of this kind have
occurred before, but the impostors usu-
allv send something. however fraudu-
lent in return for the stamps. This
genius, however, had made no prOvis-
ion whatever in that way. He simply
appropriated the stamps, and refrained
from answering the letters; and though
so reckless a swindle would seem GER
tain to eome to grief i'll q short time. he
appear to have kept up and made con
siderable profits by it, for several
months. He also advertised largely
through the newspapers, never paying
them, but giving them references to
aliases of his own and himself answer
ing all letters inquiring about his char
acter. The defect in his plan was that
il was certain sooner or later to become
the subject of investigation, and the
moment the truth was inquired into the
truth came out.
The number of swindlers who have
waxed fat on similar but more carefully
devised schemes is no doubt very con-
siderable. The rogues who engineer
them rely upon the desire of most peo-
pie to get much for little. They know
that the greed of gain often obscures
the Judgment and that though all cool
headed business men suspect offers OF
the kind, remembering the duke OF
Wellington's maxim that good interest
means bad security" yet there are al
ways plenty to spring at any bate, if it
is only gaudy and glittering enough
The so-called "sawdust" sharpers,
who pretend to sell ounte
felt money, and send the vic
| tim a box of sawdust, act upon a shrewt
knowledge or the baser elements in hui
man nature. They select for their dupe'
persons who are willing to be knave'
themselves, and whose own knavery
shuts their mouths when they find on
the swindle. Probably no professiona
sharpers would enter upon so very bold
a game as the young man of the postage
stamps played, for as they mean t.
make their living by their wits they dar'
not thus openly advertise their dishon
esty. But the fact that such a tricl
should have been so successful, and tina
! it should have been carried on so long
time without detection, shows that tn
crop of gulls continues to be as large a
ever. and whatever else fails there is
prospect of Shortage" in that line o
