The entertainment was planned and
executed by the ladies. all assisting and

building by Blain and Cameron, the
piano by Mrs. Beeson and the organ by
Mrs. Blinn, the use of John Andrews
team, the provisions by the ladies, the
music, notably that for dancing by the
performers already mentioned, and all
the ct ceteras which may not be men,

to twenty-five dollars are to be expend-

able feature of the affair was the sea.
sonable hour of closing. The repeti-
ton of the festival would be received
with great favor.

$4,000 less $l6,25 expenses, equals $2S.75
per ton net returns. In short the con-
contractor has changed the $500 ore,
worthless upon the dump, into ore
worth net to the overs $3.50 per
ton on the dump. Allowing a still
greater charge for expenses of every
kind the concentration has changed
nothingless ore into ore worth at the
least calculation 500 per ton net. 1t
would seem that there was inducement
enought in this to hasten every pro-
perty owner-having property worth
working to taking out the requisite
amount of ore to keep the mill running
to its full capacity and thus keeping
mill charges at the minimum rates.

TRAITOR. They have looked over the
ground and have decided to build a
road out via the Adirondack gulch.
The task will be an expensive one and
the boys will receive gladly any assis-
lance which will be contributed to
them for the work from the citizens of
Chloride. 1t is the expectation that this
mire can furnish twenty tons per day
and will be made to do its best. The
ore works nicely and at the present es-
tablished rate of working can be made
to pay all parties handsomely. The
White Signal, Hancock and Grand Cen
trail mines together have not less than
300 tons of ore on the dumps already.
1t is stated that on New Years eve
there was some little jumping of pro-
perty on which assessment work had
been done and which therefore did not
come within the limits of re-locatable
property. II this is true this is the
first time that any such reprehensible
methods of operation have been resort
ed to for obtaining a claim upon pro-
perty in the range and it is hoped that
the little thus secured will not be in
sisted upon when its shallowness is
shown. The Black range has so far
been remarkably free from jumpers
and it will be a sad day for residents
and property owners here when this
class Of leecles shall begin operations.

MR.. spREcKELs COIN.

During 1882, Mr.. Spreckles OBJ,
tanned contract--nominally under the
Coinage Act Of 1886, but really in
violation Of both the letter and the
spirit of that act-whereby he was per-
mitted to coin silver, according to GER
tain provisions CT that act, and was
promised in exchange for the new coin
age six per cent. Hawaiian bonds, Of
the issue authorized by the Loan Act
Of 1882. These coins were to be OF
equal weight and fineness with Ameri-
can silver coins Of like denominations.
No one has questioned Mr.. Spreckels'
abstract right-as a shrewd business
man--to take advantage of the weak
ness or the folly Of the Hawaiian gov
ernment in misconstruing" the law
to use term mild enough to suit even
mild Minister Kapena. But, if it was
ever brought to Mr.. Spreckers notice
that his action in accepting the con-
tract was, in effect, helping to compound
monstrous violation Of perfectly plain
law, then Mr., Spreckels did that for
which he ought to be punished under
the law in common with the officers of
the Hawaiian government who SO be-
trayed their trust. II Mr.. Spreckels did
not realize-and was not made to
realize-the legal offense Tor, if there
be no law to reach the wrong, the
moral ohense) he certainly deserves
censure for carelessness in his dealings
with government whose prosperity
was so closely Unidentified with his own
interests. Be that as it may, it seems
impossible to believe that any sound
business man could deliberately assume
the morality of purchasing with silver
directly from the sworn officers Of the
law who controlled their issue-bonds
lawfully. negotiable at not less than par.
If spar does not mean gold--if dol
lars be named, in gold double eagles
if pounds sterling be expressed, in Eng
hish sovereigns-then "par is mean
ingless term. If it does not mean the
only ultimate standard of value the
civilized world recognizes, it does no,
mean anything But three Hawaiian
] judges had the courage and the intelli'
gence to say: "No, Mr.. Spgeckels, you
cannot lawfully obtain bonds for silver
Par means gold or it means nothing.
An act Of the privy council fixed the
rate at which Mr. Spreckels' coir
should be taken-y taken-and the
matter rested for the nonce.

We print in another column the full
text of the proposed act to incorporate

presented for the consideration Of the

were needed in the transaction Of our
island business, a bank Of issue based
upon Hawaiian bonds would present
the soundest method by which the cur
rency might be increased. The need
does not exis, and the compensation
OF largely increased capital, available
for the development Of island resour-
ces. does not Offset the danger Of un-
necessary imitation Of the currency. On

THE SECRETARY OF TIE LEGIS-
LATURE.

On more than one occasion has the
secretary of the Legislature delayed the
business of the house by neglect Of
his plain duty. In the matter Of the
resolution, that the opinion Of the
judges of the supreme court be asked
relative to the legality of unnaturalized
subjects holding government office !;
also whether letters patent Of deniza-
ton be sufficient to avoid the naturali-
zation act, so far as holding government
Office, or receiving government pay, is
concerned; and in the matter Of the
resolution requiring the commissioners
Of crown lands to report on their reve
nue., the secretary failed to give the
"official" notice required by parliament
tary usage. Whether done inktnfion-
ally, through ignorance, or through ne
gleei, such conduct is highly reprehensi-
Bile, and deserving Of the sternest rebuke
Next to the presidency Of the assembly,
the clerkship is the most important
Office, and the incumbent should be a
man reliable in every particular. Neither
the history Of the doings Of the secre-
tary during the legislature Of 1881, nor
the acts hereinbefore related, point to
the present secretary as man worthy oi
that full confidence which the incum.
bent of such an Office should enjoy.
The Office has heretofore been occupied
by men, competent, painstaking, and
efficient in the discharge Of its duties,
and we trust hereafter the present hol'
der Of the Office, will better endeavor to
emulate their example.
