emphasize the programme for Gre
ating municipal oligarchy in Homo
lulu. First, we are not to have
anything approaching to rabble
suffrage" Would our evening con-
temporary tell the people of Honolulu
who among them constitutes the
rabble," which it would be dis
astrous to entrust with municipal
franchise. Is it the law-abiding and
respectable working class If not,
who constitutes the rabble ?"
Then "the franchise would have to
be made high, determined by both
property and educational tests" This
would narrow the franchise to very
fine point. A little property-a
homestead for example-would not
suffice. To entitle one to be en-
trusted with the franchise one must
be large property owner, and he
must likewise be able to pass a first
class examination in general know
ledge.
These are the fundamental prin-
ciples upon which the little coterie
which stands behind the Bulletin
seeks to base a municipal govern
ment for Honolulu. If it succeeds, it
follows that not only would reputa-
bic working men, clerks, mechanics
and others, be excluded from partici-
pating in the civic government, but
10 hn 10
franchised, while the power of tax
alton and expenditure would be con-
eentrated in the hands of very small
bunch of "select men,"
This, however, is not all, objection
able as it may seem. Our contempt
rary declares that the fixed purpose
and intention is to compel the Legis.
lature to grant a restricted franchise
on the foregoing basis, however
long its promoters might be in
accomplishing their design. We
say emphatically that this de-
claration by our contemporary is
7orin1G ,f0cie evidence of a con-
spiracy on the part of those venti.
lating their ideas through its
columns to use the form of munich
pal government for their own selfish
ends. The ADVERTISER is uncom-
promisingly opposed to any such
scheme. Let property be represented
in any municipal corporation by al
means, but let respectable working
men, whether they own property OF
not, have the right to vote. We want
no "rotton borough" scheme foisted
upon Honolulu in the name of mu
nicipal reform.

THE RUSSIAN SCARE.

When it was reported that Rus
sian war ship was in the ofing this
morning, there was considerable ex-
element: because it was anticipated
that the Zealandia from Auckland,
carrying the Colonial mails and pas
sengers, would heave in sight during
the day. If the Russian cruiser did
not put into port it meant business !;
if she did, then it was call SERENE"
To add to the general perplexity, she
was reported as coming from the
North, which gave rise to the con-
lecture that she had slipped away,
after being notified of the declaration
of war, to intercept the two British
steamers of the Australian mail line,
seize and convert them into armed
cruisers. Happily for all concerned,
the Russian had only pacific inten-
tions. She had come from Callao
under sail, having made slow pass
age, and had put in here for orders.
Should war have been declared,
British cruiser may be expected any
moment, because the departure of the
Djighit from CallaO for the North Pa
cific was well known to the Admiral
of the North Pacific Squadron. It
would not surprise us if the Zealandia
continued her voyage without touch
ing at Honolulu.

SENTIMENT OF THE INDIAN PRINCES
AND PEOPLE.

There is a somewhat prevalent idea
that the native princes and people of
Hindustan would hail q war between
England and Russia as offering them
a means of deliverance from foreign
conquest. This is far from being the
case, however. Sir Lepel Griffin has
been commissioned to the greater
native princes of India to arrange for
the organization of an army of India
and Central Asia. He has been very
successful, the native Sovereigns be-
ing uniformly hostile to Russian pre-
tentions. Earl Dufferin, Viceroy of
India, bears testimony to the loyalty
of the native chiefs and princes, who
have offered military aid in the event
of war. These offers bore eloquent
witness, he said, to the steadfastness
of the good faith of the Indian Gov
eminent and the noble fidelity of it's
friends. Indeed, the good faith of the
native princes is above suspicion.
The hereditary chieftains of the Pun
jab, who were approached by Russian
emissaries, offer to employ all
their resources in aid of England
should war ensue. These sentiments
are common to all Indian feudatories
of the British Empire. The Nizam
sent representative to Rawul Pindi
to meet the Viceroy; HOlkar met him
at AllahRbad and Scindia at Tundla.
Thus the great Mahratta chiefs, as
well as the Nizam, are in perfect ac-
cord with Imperial policy, although
some, even in England, were inclined
to doubt their fealty.
The Nizam's political secretary has
published long letter in the Pioneer
of India on the subject of the Russian
advance. He says it is now no longer
''scare" or "bugbear," but an actual
fact. "And what is the effect of this
advance upon the Native States and
people of India?" he asks. "DO we
! look upon Russia as liberator? No;
most emphatically no. Russian rule
means not only imperialism, but des-
potism. Russian rule means the cor
ruption of justice, the sitting of pub
lie opinion, the tyranny and oppres-
sion of a bureaucracy, and servile
courts of justice. Russia may intro
duce comparative civilization in
| Khiva or Bokhara. To such cOun-
| tries her rule may mean progress; in
India it would mean retrogression."
This high native official is man
of wide experience, and his opinions
carry weight in India. He admits
that grievances exist, but protests
against the expression of them being
considered a sign of disloyalty. He
says at is because the people of
India have learnt to put faith in
British justice that now so many
complaints are heard. They have
learnt that the Courts of Justice are
independent; that a British judge
| does not hesitate to give an award
against the Government if the latter
is in the wrong; that British justice
is no respecter of persons, and gives
the lowest subject an opportunity of
appealing to the court of the EN-
press" The knowledge and ex-
perience of these facts are the best
guarantees of the loyalty of the
native princes and peoples of India.
