THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE SANDWICH
ISLANDS NOW THREATENED.

TO all those Concerned, on Tie
ZSldnds:-The Bank Charter Act
for the incorporation of the Hawaiian
National Bank as proposed is un-
constitutional, and if passed by the
Legislature, and becomes n law, l
have no doubt must create revelu-
ton with loss of life and and pro-
perty.
1t is. to say the least. Il bogus
Bank Charter, so far as legitimate
banking purposes are concerned, for
it shows itself to be in reality q
"Universal Finance and Comprehen-
sive Credit Company Limited" and
much more.
1t is worse for us than the old
South Sea bubble. We make no
threat, but sound a note of warning
which, if unheeded, will be remem-
bered for generations to come.
The chains were forged in San
Francisco-everything near and dear
to us is at stake should we submit to
have them placed upon us or this
Kingdom.
The Lyceum will be open for pub
lie meetings as well as to organize in
self defence.
All communications on the subject
are permitted to be addressed to the
undersigned on behalf of the Citizens
Committee for mutual protection.

We understand that this docu-
ment is printed and will be largely

sent of the King OF the Government
or the people.
There is no need for comment, but
there arc names in that list which
would hardly have been here, had
they realized the meaning or the
power of the weapon which they as
sisted to hold at the throat of the
nation and the community by whom
they have hitherto been so trusted.
The foregoing statement was
unanimously adopted by the Cham
ber of Commerce, at their meeting
Saturday, and ordered to be pub

HAWAIIAN NATIONAL BANK AND ITS
CHARTER.

For once it appears that the whole
Press of Honolulu is unanimous, at
least the Saturday Press and Daily
Haaodiian have spoken with no un-
certain sound. The BULLETIN is in
accord with them. The DAILY Id
Vertiser awaits further developments
and the Gazette. if it possess or
prize the jewel consistency, which
we have no reason to doubt, is tho
roughly committed to opposition to
this proposed Act.
If the native papers represent the
native opinion, as expressed on the
streets, they too are in accord with
their English contemporaries. We
do not reckon the Elele, as that is
no more genuine Hawaiian than its
master.
The occasion, then, of this won
derful and unwonted unanimity is
the dread of the consequences of
still further enlarging the borders,
and strengthening the hands of this
" black monopoly"
Already the community has been
deprived of the services of the p.
M. S. S. Co., passengers and freight
between this and the Coast are
bound to the Oceanic monopoly.
What if the Inter Island traffic come
into the ring
Monopoly, calling as it is, is only
one of the evils to be apprehended
if this proposed Charter be granted.
:" The Act to incorporate " is very
elaborate, and, to a first glance,
safe; but to those who read between
the lines it is far otherwise. Sec
tion II for instance, so delightfully."-
explicit in appearance, contains
within it the germs of unlimited liti-
CATION and wrong-doing.

HONOLULU YACHT AND BOAT CLUB.

The more boating clubs we have
the better the competition AZ re-
gattas, and with this object Ill view,
the above organization was formed.
Heretofore it has been the practice
for the members of one club to carry
away nearly all the prizes, conse-
quently the sport has been devoid of
any interest. This certainly should
not be so. Suppose we had six fully
organized clubs here, what fine and
exciting races wsNshould witness,
each club trying'to win the laurek.
With this number of clubs formed
an independence could be shown, in
that each club could subscribe q
certain amount to help pay for the
prizes, thus doing away with the
usual routine of begging round town.
The Honolulu Boat Club has already
a.large number of members, a lot has
been leased and a boat house is
needed. 1t is to be hoped our bust
ness men will respend literally tc
any appeal made to them to supply
the wants of this club. We would
suggest that subscription lists be
made out and the lady friends of the
members asked to take hold of them

THE DIRECTORATE.

To what auspicious combination
of planetary influences are we in
dcbted for this visit of cx-Govcrnor
Low?
He came, hc saw, he conquered,
and went away assured of direc-
tors share in the biggest monopoly
ever yet proposed. The eX-Gover-
nor invested five letters of the
alphabet in the hotel book, f. +.
Low, and is to draw untold wealth
in return from this little innocent.
unsuspecting community, very
good bargain-for him. 1t does not
appear what future investment in
this country is expected. The eX.
Governor of California is president
of bank in San Francisco, so that
it is presumable that his business
headquarters will be in that pleasant
and busy city. His name appears
as third in the proposed list of di-
rectors, those above him being Claus
Spreckels and w. G. Irwin, the
latter an old resident.
And this leads to the question as
to whom we shall see as the manager
of this all embracing business, bank
ing, railroading, steam traffic foreign
and domestic and all other matters,
public and private, from the appoint
ment of Cabinet to the cashing,
no not the cashing for cash does not
appear in this prospectus but to the
constant exchange and re-cNchange
of one paper for another, of one
promise to pay for another promise
to pay, notes, certificates, and bonds
are to chase one another in a con-
tinuous circle just like the wooden
horses on the merry-go-round. To
| subscribe OF underwrite is one thing,
to put down cash is another. Ex-
Governor Lows contribution is not
substantial, Spreckels we know and
the others we known, and Governor
Low we should like to know as an
investor of cash, because as one of
six who are TO control everything
within the bounds of this Kingdom,
it might be rs well that like his CO.
directors, he should stand TO lose in
case of certain eventualities if he
stand to win in certain others.
If, as is not impossible, this charter
is obtained the National Bank opened,

of trumpets, great blaze of blue

How to Remove Scars.

Scars are always unsightly and are
often painful or inconvenient on &C
count of their propensity to contract
as they become older. DR.. Ward of
New York asserts that they may be
removed by manipulation, which he
directs to be employed as follows:
Place the ends of two or three fingers
on a scar if it be a small one, and on
the margin if it be large, and vibrate
the surface on The tissues beneath.
The surface itself not to be subjected
to any friction all the motion must
be between the integument and the
deeper parts. The location of the
vibraiile motion should be changed
every ten or fifteen seconds until the
whole scar has been treated, if it be
of moderate size. If the scar be the
result of a large scald or burn, the
margin only should be treated at
first /; the advances toward the centre
should be deferred until the nutrition
of the margins has been decidedly i'm
proved. Only a little treatment
should be applied to any one spot at
the same time, but the vibrations
should be repeated as many as twenty
times a day, but never with sufficient
frequency or severity to cause pain.
If the scar becomes irritable, suspend
treatment until it subsidies. In the
course of two or three weeks of faith
full treatment the surfaces of the scars
of moderate size become more movable
and viii begin to form wrinkles like
true skin when pressed from side to
side. All these changes are due to
improved nutrition. consequent on
better blood circulation-the develop
ment of entirely new sets Of blood
vessels in the electrical tissue.

"Sheet-Iron Jack

"Sheet-Iron Jack" an audacious
brigand, fifteen years ago was terror
to several counties Of northern Califor-
MA. He was well educated, hand
some, tall, the son of minister, SO
all accounts agreed, and his name mad
been gained by the immunity from
bullet-wounds that he appeared to
possess. Men did not hesitate to de-
clare that they had seen good shots
fired point-blank at his breast and
miss him squarely. He became
known as the most expert horse-thief
in the region, and innumerable ex-
PLOTS of mis- are related in Shasta and
Tehama counties. On one occasion
he threw his pursuers off his track,
assumed a disguise, met the sheriff's
party, delighted them with his songs
and stories, put up with them at a
little village in, and during the night
escaped with three of the best horses
in the party, after having turned the
others loose in the woods and leaving
a saucy and funny letter of thanks
ending with an apt Latin quotation
for the sheriff, whose wrath was of
such an abiding sort that brief would
have been Jacks life-lease had be
been overhauled ). in less than two
minutes he then were assuredly haul
ed over and dangling from an oak
limb.
One of the most characteristic feats
of this fellow was performed at a
mountain ball in a log cabin. Young
people had assembled from many
miles distant, some Of them coming
a days journey. The ball had hardly
begun when tall, black.haired, we'll
dressed, handsome stranger appeared
and excited much comment. A
particularly handsome young girl was
taken out on the floor by her partner,
and suddenly the stranger stepped up
and with great politeness requested
the gentleman to resign the lady in
his favor. He whispered his name in
the young mans ear, paid a eompli-
ment TO tie young lady, took her
forth and led the dance. Word went
around that Sheet-Iron Jack had
come there to dance with all the pref
ty girls that he had several revolvers,
never missed shot, and probably |
had friends hid within call. The |
long and short of it was that the thirty
young men present were terrorized,
and, one after another, the brigand |
danced with the prettiest maidens in
The room. Then he bowed to the ex-
cited assembly, stood in the doorway
second, said mOckingly that it was
pity the men were not as brave as
he ladies were handsome, and disap-
oeared in the darkness.-New York

FUNCTIONS PLAGlARISTS.

Religious collectors and editors
spend great deal Of time in changing
and mutilating The best English litara.
ture of the day SO as to serve the pur-
pose of their own authorship without
legitimacy. In reality these wouid-be
censors have no place in literature I;
and when they use no quotation msrks
or any other sign Of previous proprie-
torship they are guilty of theft and
fraud. Many of the best verses and
hymns written by real poets and in
terpolated into our language SO thor
oughly as to become a part Of it, is
entirely revised by the vandals who
serve their own purposes in reproduc-
ing it.
1t is also, not an uncommon thing
to find well known authors names
signed to doggerel rhymes which they
never wrote but which have been so
signed as an advertising scheme
by the same piOus frauds.
In addition to the above acts of
falsebood, these people set up stand
ard of orthodoxy which prohibits
them from using in their arrangement
of hymnals such exquisite and appro-
pirate gems of sacred teaching, as,
"Nearer my God to Thee" because
it had not the name of Christ 10 it and
the anthor Mrs. Adams is a Unita-
tartan.
Sch narrow mindedness as the
above should be summarily dealt
with and it is not much wonder that
many of the liberal minded ministers
and church folks are bestowing sharp
criticism upon it.
It would be as well while in the
groove of orthodoxy, to taboo the
Lords prayer, as Mrs. Adams hymn,
for the name of Christ is not contained
In it, neither is there any reference to
a Christ.
Certainly it would teach a better
lesson to the world, if these over zeal
Gus collectors and editors were to
leaven their orthodoxy with honesty
and Justice.
