GENERAL ELECTION, 1885.

Our "By authority column contains
the official announcement for the general
election of Representatives of the people,
to be held at the various polling places
designated in the notice, on Wednesday,
the Sd day of February, 1886. The full
est details are given as required by law
We hope and trust that the electors viii
not fail to come forward and poll full
vote. There is general tendency on
the part of those who possess the fran
chise to abstain from voting. This is a
great mistake. The elective franchise is
a sacred trust which should be exercised
upon all occasions for the public good.
Never before in the history.of this coun-
try was this duty more incumbent upon
the constituencies of the Kingdom than
it is at the approaching election. 1t is
contest between progress and develop
ment as represented by the Administra-
ton on the one hand, and retrogression
as represented by the Opposition on the
other. If the Opposition should un-
happily carry the election, re-
and a return to the narrow class
prejudices Of former days would be in
evitable. Should the Government carry
the election, as we confidently antici-
pate win be the case, the progress Of
the country is assured. immigration
and colonization viii be promoted, works
of public utility inaugurated, and an inn
pulse given to business in every direc-
ton which must make itself felt through
out the entire Kingdom. 1t is for the
electors to choose which they Will have
decay of public and private interests
or an era of progress and prosperity.
An Opposition majority in the Legisla
tare means stagnation and decay; a Gov
eminent majority means activity in every
department of trade and industry, album
dant employment and high wages for
labor, and the growth and development
OF the varied industries of the country.

The Tar.I-yernon performance.

Quite a number of seats have been sold
for the dramatic performance on Satur-
day evening at the Hawaiian Opera
House. The programme viii consist OF
dramatic recitals from Shakespeare and
the modern poets, the charming come

The sydney Herald, speaking OF a
performance OF Victor Hugo's "Lucretia
Borgia," has the following regarding
Miss Ward: seldom, if ever, has the
great actress been greater than in that
particular scene, or in the preceding one,
in which, with all the energy of an en-
ragged tigress, she impIored for vengeance
on the miscreant who had dared to tear
down her name from the palace gates
and trail the gilded letters in the dust
The look Of satisfied vengeance with
which She heard the Dukes oath that
the miscreant had been arrested, and
that he should die, was speedily changed
to one Of horror on discovering that the
miscreant was no other than Gennaro,
for whom she burned with more than
mothers love, and that the Duke was
deaf to all her sudden appeals TO spare
his life, and that he had determined that
he should die"
OF Mr.. Vernon, We clip the following
from the Philadelphia Inquirer when
he appeared at the Lyceum Theater as

and It should put to blush the fabricators
OF sensational tales OF distress and decay
which come out generally about the
time mail is being dispatched to the
Coast, for the purpose apparently OF pre-
venting immigration OF a desirable class
from that quarter. These tactics NAV
suit the Opposition, but they tend to
make duh times, and are the cause to a
great extent OF the conditions com
planned OF
Leaving this point, however, and
going 10 tine wider one OF industrial de
veloplnent, We find a state Of facts in
this country without parallel elsewhere
in the world. The sugar crop Of 1877,
eight years ago, was returned at 16,G7j
tons. The sugar crop OF this season will
be from 5000 10 IJJ, 900 tons. This is
skiold increase. Now, what does
this increase represent? Taking the
price oi sugar at 800 per ton, it means
ali addition to the wealth oi the country
OF $7909,911, tiae money equivalent OF
5000 tons OF sugar Bat the price Of
sugar averaged considerably over 800 4
ton during the past eight years, and
therefore Il large addition should be
male to the sum stated to approximate
anything ID the actual result.
Let us see further what this means?

FRIDAY
CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY.


Z In order that the employees oil the Al
vERrIsER may enjoy full holiday at
Christmas, there viii be no paper pub
lished tomorrow, Saturday. Oar friends
and patrons will no doubt acknowledge
the claim Of our staff, inthe various de-
partments, to this reasonable relaxation
from duty which has been performed
by them without intermission OF any
kind during the entire year. In wishing
them a "Merry Christmas" we natur-
ally extend our congratulations to our
numerous patrons, aud with an enlarged
spirit Of charity at this festive season,
we likewise include our opponents within
the range OF our felicitation and good
wishes. May they live long and never
prove greater thorn in our side than
they are at present.

PROGRESS.


To read the Opposition jcreniads one
would be apt to think that the coun-
try was hopelessly insolyent; that
the people had neither money nor EN-
ployment; and that white labor WAS
fleeing the country because it could not
find work, while what remained was be
ing starved. All this is laid ut the door
of the present Administration, although
facts point conclusively the other way.
Let anyone take the pains to 90 around
among storekeepers and merchants and
ascertain the result OF the holiday sales,
and then 90 to the various auction rooms
and find out the amount Of hard cash
mat has been paid for goods, the major
ity of which simply crafty cultivated
tastes and must be regarded as lu1ufies,
and very different opinion will be
formed of the actual condition OF the
poPl stion. The truth is, evers lore III
the city aessl--t in -essonable goods has
been cleaned out There is hardly a
vestige OF Christmas goods left in any Of
them, and as the bulk OF the trade WAS
done for cash, there must have been
great deal OF ready money available at
call.
This is a gratifying statement to make,

A VERY SOUND SLEEPER.
A Buffalo Mans Experience with a

Crazy Woman in n sleeping Car.

A young gentleman from Buffalo was

started back for my own car, almost dead

"When ! opened the door of the other

A sECURE GAMBLING HOUSE
How San Francisco Gamblers Fortify
Themselves Against Interference by
the Police.
From Tire san Francisco CAL.

From TIE san Francisco cal.
On the east side Of Dupont street, near
Clay, a building is being altered for the
purpose Of establishing a restaurant in it
and in connection herewith there is being
fitted up a room which win be used by
Chinese gamblers. The room is p fee
wide by Is deep. The studding has been
covered inside and out with gro0yed and
tongued pitch pine. The outside of each
partition is covered with sheei-irou one
eighth OF an inch thick ana fastened by
means of round-headed carriage bolts, set
about five inches apart.
The entrance from the street is through
a narrow door set in the western partition
and hid from view by n broad staircase
that leads to the upper floor. The casing
OF this doorway is covered with steel strips
a quarter of an inch thick aud several
inches wide, which are as well secured TO
the partition Oy iron bolts as possible. On
the floor, in place OF the ordinary lures
mold, there is thick iron plate. From the
interior the door is fastened by means of Il
swivel bar, which fits into the sockets, and
in addition thereto there is heavy iron
bound piece of timber, six feet long,
which, if occasion requires may be

inch pine, covered with quarter-inch
steel plate, strongly riVeted.
In the rear partition there is door that
opens into "A large Kitchen connected with
the restaurant. The kitchen is room the
walls Of which are Of brick. Two win
d0ws light the room, but each OF these has
heavy iron gratings set in them. This
place is SO strongly fortified that under
the most favorable circumstances officers
having wedges, axes, pineh-bars and IRON
mauls conld not effect an entrance into it
under an hours very hard work.
The purpose of the door into the kitchen
is that in case raid is made the players
may carry lthe evidence, which, if found,
would lead TO conviction, INTO the cook
shop and destroy it by throwing it into the
furnace.
