When the natives got up the next
morning they thought Old Nick had
been fooling with the pool of water,

The Reception given at the Y. M.

Captain J. M. Brown and DR.. James
Brodie returned yesterday morning
from a flying trip around the island
they were gone day and half and
it is understood that during this time
they thoroughly inspected the stock of
the different ranches and mills along
the route. There is nothing remark
able about the trip except the amount
Of thoroughiwork done by these officials
in the short space allotted them by the
exigency OF the occasion.
Pastor Cruzan's Sunday morning ser

Picked Men," and the evening sermon

neighbors who gossip" All are cor

Day before yesterday noon while
gentleman was going home to lunch
along the sidewalk in front of the
Catholic School on Fort street, stone,
large enough to knock a man down,
was thrown over one of the school
buildings so close to him that it struck
the rim of his hat in its descent. While
he was looking around to find out
where the stone came from, two more
were thrown over the same building
and fell into the street. 1t would be
advisable for the teachers of this insti-
tuition to Immediately put stop to
such careless playing among the child
ren-if they are the ones who threw
the stones.
They say: that the silver question
will be agitated in Honolulu again be-
fore long; that the late report Of the
Collector General was not addressed to
any body in particular, because he did
not know who the Minister of Finance
was; that it is an open question who he
really is; that Minister Kapena took
an airing to give somebody else a
chance to handle the dumps; that Mr.
Claus Spreckels has lost some money
in San Francisco by having it carried
off by confidential clerk; that there
will be some quiet little jobs "put up"
during the coming campaign; that the
newspapers of Honolulu are looking
around for the highest bidders; that
some of them will likely find their
man; that the independent ticket will
not be known until it is published ''by
authority" that the moon will look at
Hawaiian politics in a new phase next
quarter; that the fastest horse does not
eat the most oats; that the "funny"
boys will organize bachelors club;
that Honolulu ought to have dog
show; that the hope of the future can
redeem the political past of Hawaii if
the people have grit enough to realize
it; and that the safest investment is in
foreign bonds.
Captain Abingdon may continue to
send requests to contradict the Press,
but it will not do away with the fact
that some of his sailors have been half
seas-over every time they have been
allowed ashore at night. Did the
worthy Captain ever see a sailor or any
other man that would admit he was
drunk ? 1t makes one smile to imagine
the examination spoken of as taking
place the next morning, 1t may have
been so formerly, but for the last two
years every man-of-war that has
touched here has only succeeded in
adding to the revelry Of our already too
