Mr.. Spreckels will please take notice
that the Hawaiian (having defeated his
bank-charter billy is now prepared to
defend the public from any future
assaults of the tempter. 1t will be well
also for those gentlemen who constitute
the chamber of commerce to remember
that the Hawaiian (Which defeated the
bank-charter bilD is prepared to con
tract for the public defense to any
amount. We trust the signers of the
various petitions to the legislature, pro-
testing against the charter, will not for
get that the Hawaiian (which killed
the bank charter bill) stands ready and
even anxious to relieve them of any
onerous and embarrassing credit for
the action The officious citizens in
strumental in calling and speaking at the
mass meeting popularity supposed TO
have some weight in moulding public
opinion, are cautioned against infring-
ing upon the rights of the Hawaiian
(Which defeated the billy, and the
members of the legislature, who may
have some lingering suspicion that they
were instrumental in killing the bank
charter bill, are hereby reminded that
the Hawaiian (Which killed the bilD is
the only individual entity which really
and truly did the killing.

The first allegiance of every honest
man is to his conscience; the second
is to his pocket Without the approval
OF his own conscience, no man may
successfully fight for reform. Unless
citizens protect their pockets from the
eXtortion of unjust taxation and the in
roads of monopoly exactions, there can
be no successful fight for reform. Be
cause money is not only the "sinews
of war" but necessity of every man
who owes duty to family, friend or
country. 1t is not only the right but
the duty of every citizen to protect his
pocket. Indeed, he cannot be true to
his conscience if he does not protect
his pocket The fight which the com
munity has now on hand is the fight of
the taxpayer against the taX-eater,
And we are all taxpayers. Some of us
pay very little directly, but we all pay
something indirectly, and if corrupt Of
licialdom is not checked, and danger
GUS monopoly kept within the bounds
of reason, the result must be heavy
taxation, direct and indirect.

uORE TJOIJyJOy or L1U

A reply has been made by the minis
ter of the interior to the resolution ofthe
Hon. j. |. Dowsett, which was passed
by the assembly, asking for information
relating to leases and sales of govern
ment lands. In this reply there are GER
tain things worthy of comment and crit
icism, and among these, is the illegal
leasing of certain lands on Lanai to the
minister of foreign affairs, as follows:
Lands Of Pauili Kealn, and Kamao for 20
years from June a3rd, 1883 at a rental of ST. 50
per annum:
Ahnpuaa OF Mahana, FL years from Novem-
her Ist. 1886, at 500 per annum;
Land of Kaunolu, u years from February
9th, 1890.
The illegal part of the proceeding con
sists in the fact that they were leased
privately, whereas the law distinctly pro
vides that no government lands above
the value of $500 shall be either leased
or sold without having been frs, sdyer-
tised for three weeks, in at least one
English and one Hawaiian newspaper
and that the sales shall be cried by
the minister of interior or one OF his
clerks, and be made in front Of the
government building in Honolulu.
The fact that these leases are only
extended, or that the rental has been
increased in each case, does not cover
the question of legality. The extension
of an old lease makes it virtually Nezs'
lease. The extension has to be neaoLp
signed by the contracting parties, neso1'
acknowledged and A7cly recorded, in
order 10 its validity. And the fact that
the rents have been increased only
makes the sSbterfuge more transparent.
The facts speak for themselves, and
further comment is, at present, I'M
necessary.

that infamo&s document which no
monopolist could contemplate without
intense aloha. If none of the mon
strous provisions of that first marvel.
lous trap for the unwary be found in
the government measure, we shall be
most agreeably disappointed. In the
meanwhile, no honest legislator and
no honest citizen can afford To have
his attention diverted from the general
banking act.

as beautiful as the prize by Captain Knowlton.

ATHLETIC SPORTS.

PoRTLANDs, 8; BIDDEFoRDs, 2.
The game at the Portland grounds yesterday af-
ternoon was, on the whole, a very good one, the
fine fielding of the Portands except the shortstop,
and the hard batting of the Biddefords being dis
tinctive features Quite a delay was caused in
commencing the game, owing to the Biddefords
wishing Mr. Batchelder to pire the game. The
Portlands were firm, however, in refusing to take
him, and as Mr.. Fessenden, professional umpire
was on the grounds they decided that he should
umpire or There would be no game. 1t was decided
for man of better Judgment and thorough knowl-
edge of the rules of the game has never been seen
on any grounds in this State. The Biddefords fin
ally decided to play the game and at 800 Mr.. Fes.
senden called play, with Biddefords at the bat.
Une two, three out, was the result of the 1st in
ing, Fish striking two of them out, The Portlands
twice, one strike being called The Bddefords left
man on third in the second inning, but got no
runs while the P0rtlands secured run on Chatter
tons Two Dagger steal and wild pitch. The
third inning both clubs drew blanks, but in the
fourth the Biddefords got to Fish for three sin
giles, with total of four, and earned run, while
the Portlands secured three runs entirely on the
errors OF the Biddefords. The Biddefords drew
blanks from this time until the ninth inning when
with two hands out, Kendall hit for two bases and
was followed with splendid three-bagger by o.
Connell, sending Kendall home earning the score
and coming in himself ON wild throw by Malloy.
The Portlands got another run in the fifth on er-
rors, and in the eighth with two men on bases,
Freligh hit hard for thee bases sending in men,

A delightful company assembled in the
spacious parlor of the Kirkwood House last
Tuesday evening to witness the nuptials of
Col Frank D. Pullen and Mrs. Addie M. Saw
telle of Bangor, who is daughter of Otis
Kaler, Esq, the landlord of this favorite sea-
side resort.
The marriage ceremony was performed by
Rev. A. H. Wright of this city, formerly Mr.
and Mrs. Kaler's pastor, in the presence of the
guests of the house, and the friends of the
family. Among the latter were Capt. BENZ.
Thompson and wife, now of Massachusetts,,
formerly of this State, Hon. W. FL. McCrillis
of Bangor, Mr.. and Mrs. Newell Lyon, Mrs.
A. 81. Wright, and Mr.. and Mrs. Charles L.
Jack of this city. Among the handsome flor al
decorations was splendid wedding bell, un-
der which the bride and groom plighted to
each other their solemn VOWS. AS the bridal
party entered the room they were preceded by
Muriel Gault, sweet faced little girl from
Montreal, who strewed flowers before them.
The youthful bridesmaids, Ethel, Annie and
Mabel Gault of Montreal, followed, attired in
white dresses and white tulle wells, each hay-
ing basket of lovely flowers. They were at
tended by Master Willie Sawtelle of Bangor,
and Eddie ard Story Sargent of Boston.
The impressive ceremony was followed by
collation. and an impromptu entertainment, con
sisting of music and dancing, by the little
girls, which was greatly enjoyed by the happy
company. Altogether it was delightful oc-
casion. The moon shone with unwonted
radiance as the welded pair left their friends
to take the midnight train. The guests from
Portland enjoyed splendid ride home.

SUBURBAN NEWS.
Deering.

The Republicans of Deering had a capital meet
ing at the Town Hall last evening. Mr. George
Russell, the Republican candidate for Representa-
tive to the Legislature, presided and introduced
Hon. Frank Hiscock of New York.
Mr.. Hiscock discussed the tariff question for
about one hour ia calm, candid, dispassionate
speech, establishing every point by facts and fig
ures. He addressed himself especially to the
farmers showing the necessity of protecting manu-
factures in order to give the farmers home market
for their products. Stop manufacturing by remov-
ing the protective tariff and the Thousands of en-
pl0yes in the Maine factories will become farmers
themselves or remove somewhere else. Either case
would be disastrous to agriculture. The Jetfer-
sonian doctrine that the United States will be the
great tarm for the world Is fallaciouS. Farming
cannot depend on a foreign market; it is falling,
and offers poorer prices now than heretofore We
must market our farm products at home the nearer
home the better. Farmers should remember these
things, and vote for protective tariff for Amerl-
can manufactures. Neither are prices on man u
factured goods higher than formerly. Protected
American industries encourage Inventive genius,
improve facilities, reduce expense and perfect the
arts. Mr.. Hiscock paid high tribute to Hon.
Thomas b. Reed who he called one of the greatest
men In the country, man that We could not afford
to lose from the councils of the nation.
The audience applauded the speaker frequently
and cheered the allusion to Mr.. Reed.

In spite Of Chsndler's band, which dis
coursed some of its finest music for half an
hour before the meeting was called to order,
but small audience gathered in City Hall
and that was for the most part located near
the door-to hear young Mr.. Quincy's views of
the political situation, and also those OF his
companion in misery, Mr.. Kent of New Hamp-
shire.
Gen. Lynch was chairman of the meeting,
and after a few remarks introduced to the
audience Mr.. Josiah Quincy, Jr., of Boston.
Mr.. Quincy read his speech from carefully pre-.
pared notes. He has good voice and was
rather good orator. AS was to be expected his
speech was merely TRADE directed against
Mr. Blaine. He said he was an Independent
because his convictions wouldn't let him be
otherwise. He devoted quite a time to the
difficult taste of defining what the Independ.
ents believed, and, greatly to the surprise of
his audience, disclsimed the idea that Mr..
Blaine was unfairly nominated. He said the
reform plank in the Republican platform
meant nothing, and tried his powers of
sarcasm on the tariff plank with very poor sue.
cess. he then gave his attention to Mr..
Blaine, and from the language he used we in
fer that he didn't like our next President.
His peroration was quite good for SO young
man, quotations, poetry, metaphor and simile
crowding one upon another in reckless profu-
sion.
After Mr.. Quincy's speech the band played,
and then Mr.. Kent was called upon. Mr..
Kent's speech fell rather fat after the extra
ordinary effort of his younger companion, and
the audience breathed sigh.of relief when he
sat down. He said the contest next November
was between the Democratic and Republican
parties. Nobody opposed this statement. He
contrasted the party platforms, discussed the
merits of "free trade with incidental protec-
tion," spoke of finance and the Irish question,
and did his best to keep what little was left of
his audience.
The Young Mems Democratic Club sat on
the stage sandwiched among the old-timers,
and helped fill up the seats.
During Mr. Quincy's speech large number
of the audience LETT the hall and went down to
the Bijou to hear Mr.. Frye.
