Two GrOwn-UP Children See Their Father
for the First Time.
Long Branch Cor. n. Y. Journal
Joseph H. Emmons well known citi-
zen of this place, is the hero of highly
romantic story. About twenty years ago,
when young man, Mr.. Emmons settled
in a country village near Hampton Roads,
Va, where he met and married the daugh-
ter of an influential farmer of that section.
The young couple loved each other very
dearly, and would no doubt have lived
happily but for the old gentleman's con-
tinued opposition to their union, which
dated from the time when young Joe be-
gan to pay his attention to the Virginia
lassie.
One day the old gentleman spoke very
harshly to his son-in-law, and young Joe
felt forced to leave his home, never to look
upon the face of his loved one again. He
came to New Jersey and located at Long
Branch, where his brother was engaged in
the hotel business. He has since been fol-
lowing various occupations. He ran the
New York Hotel tor a year, has been to
sea once or twice, and during the past sum-
mer was a member of the Long Branch po-
lice force. A few years ago he married
Miss Reddy, of this place, to whom he
has always been greatly attached.
Having heard nothing from his old
southern home during the intervening
years, Mr.. EmmOns concluded that his
former wife must have died. Shortly af-
ter his departure from Virginia his wife
gave birth to twin babies, a girl and a
boy. When these were scarcely two years
old the mother, who mourned greatly the
loss of her husband. went out one dark
night and threw herself into the sea. Her
body was found the next day by her father,
but no tidings of the dreadful affair was
sent to the far-off husband. The old gem
tleman took the children to his own home
and brought them up Is : offspring.
Three weeks ago the father, who had so
cruelty separated two loving hearts, was
stricken with fatal illness. Calling the
two children to his bedside, he told them
the story of their father and their mother.
sad death. After the old MAJ rody had
ueen buried, the two children started out
in search of their long-lost father, They
arrived at Long Branch on Monday last.
Mr.. Emmons' surprise was truly great
when he was visited by his children, who
were full grown and handsomely dressed.
His surprise was even greater when his
son informed him that his her-in-law
had bequeathed to him large estate in
Virginia and over $4,000 in money
On the following day Mr.. EmmUns and
his two children started for Virginia to-
gether. As soon as arrangements can be
made, Mrs. Emmons will go and join her
husband in his new home in the sunny
South.

THE LEGISLATURE.

The chief aim of the Opposition mem
bers yesterday appeared to be to kill
time. Their tactics were in manner
successful. They did kill time at the
rate OF $S3 per hour, according to Mr..
ThurstOn's calculation of expense, and
we hope their constituents will be salts
fled with their performance. a little
by-play is always permissible i'm Legis-
lative bodies, but when the business in
terests of the country are neglected by
the Representatives OF the people, pro-
test should be entered by the press
This we feel constrained TO do upon the
present occasion. The tactics of Messrs
Thurston and Dole yesterday are cen
surable. If any point of value were to
he made we should not say Il word
about it, but there was absolutely moth
ing to be gained by the Opposition. We
trust that in future the course of public
business will not be blocked in a similar
way, and that instead OF working to pro-
long the session, everything will he done
to facilitate the dispatch of public bust
ness.
The Assembly re-considered the vote
byeWhich the motion for indefinite post
ponement of a bill to amend an Act to
prohibit native Hawaiians leaving the
Kingdom was negatived at the previous
sitting. 1t came up as unfinished bust
ness properly, but the friends OF the
measure fought against a reconsideration
by urging technical points, and it was
not until after the House had resolved
itself into committee OF supply, reported
progress and resumed, that the oppo-
nents of the bill had an opportunity of
shelving it, by formal motion of in
definite postponement, which was car
ried
The select committee appointed to
consider the petition from North Kona
against Mr.. Nahale's election reported
in favor of that gentleman, but inasmuch
az the report in Hawaiian was not ac-
companied by an English translation,
the President refused to entertain mo-
ton to adopt it. A motion to accept the
report and lay it upon the table until an
English translation had been read to the
Assembly prevailed. We think this
was an error of judgment on the part OF
the President The proper way to dis
pose of the report was to have sent it
back TO the committee as incomplete,
and not to have accepted it all. The
argument against its acceptance under
the circumstances was quite as strong
as the argument against its adoption.
Strictly speaking, neither motion was
regular.
The proceedings of the day will be
found reported at length in our columns.

The Schooner Mary c. BOhm.

1t will be remembered that the Ger
man schooner Mary c. Bohm sailed
from Waimea, Kauai, on May 22d for
Honolulu. On the both she was seen by
the steamer Iwalani in the channel,
beating for this port. Since then Moth
ing was heard or seen of her until last
evening, when a boat belonging to the
schooner landed at Waianae on this
island. 1t contained the Captain and
five Japanese sailors. The former stated
that the schooner was about thirty miles
out at sea in a leaking condition, and
that the crew had been without provi-
sions and water for about five days.
The number of souls on board is twenty
the Captain, three Manila and six
teen japanese sailors. The little steamer
Kapiolani, which happened to be at
Waianae, went out last evening to the
schooner with provisions and water.

Banking Department OF Mr.. Horner's
creation held a lien upon all property,
fixed and movable in the Kingdom,
without giving any equivalent, for it is Of
the essence OF his scheme that the cur
rency or circulating medium of the
country should be paper money issued
by the banking department in question.
1t is true that the scheme contemplates
coming money, but as no provision is
made for purchasing bullion, and erect
ing and operating mint, we are reduced
TO the simple proposition that the only
money in use shall be certificates Of ma
tional Indebtedness. The only expendi-
ture contemplated by Mr.. Horner is the
erection Of buildings necessary to carry
on the operations OF this national loan
and mortgage institution.
OF course all this is very ridiculous
and absurd. The scheme might posi-
bly, work if Hawaii had no commercial
relations with the outside world, and
the communistIc idea pure and simple
prevailed. At the same time we give
Mr. Horner due credit for considerable
ingenuity in formulating his inchOate
conception of a universal monetary sys-

KAMEHAMgHA DAY.

Tomorrow will be Kamehameha Day.
1t is to all intents and purposes the
Hawaiian national holiday. Upon it
all inhabitants of the Kingdom are sup
posed to enjoy themselves, free from
the cares and veXations of business.
Early in the history of the country, after
the advent of foreigners, horse racing
became national amusement. Native
Hawaiians, being partial to athletic and
manly sports, readily took up the new
pastime, entering into it with as keen
IL zest as any English or American
''turfman" could do, and money was
literally invested in the introduction
and breeding OF blooded stock. Every
interest in the country benefited by
this, because nothing tends to increase
the comfort and wealth of an agricultural
and settled community in degree more
than the improvement of live stock.
As matter of course horse racing de-
generated here, as it has done occasion
ally in all other countries, into an organ
lied swindle, by which the public
were victimized. To remedy this evil
the Hawaiian Jockey Club was formed.
and a very valuable part of KapiOlani
Park was leased to it, for a long term, at
nominal rent, on condition that the com
munity should have an opportunity to
enjoy legitimate sport, upon all proper
occasions, under club management. 1t
is true it is not so nominated in the
bond" but it is nevertheless under
stood, and was the sole reason for
granting the lease of public
land in question If the Jockey Club
had sought to lease the Kapiolani Park
track on a speculation, the terms would
have been altogether different. In
short, it could not have got the glound at
all.
The Kapiolani Park race track being
therefore in the nature of quasi public
trust, it follows that the Jockey Club is
bound to see that the public are not dis
appointed in the matter of sports to-
morrow There should be good racing
programme to start with, and the club
should see it carried out. But if the
owners of horses withdraw them after
the race programme has been issued, it
is evident that the public will be disap-
pointed They would be induced to 90
to the Park, paying for admittance and
buying programmes, expecting to see
races which do not come off in their en-
tirety, or perhaps not at all. We raise
the point right here, therefore, that in
this matter the public have rights as
we'll a. the owners of horses. OF course, /
it is impossible to compel owners OF
horses to run them if they determine
otherwise, but on the other hand faith
should be kept with the public. This
may not be stable ethics, but it Is the
kind of morality the people will sustain.

HAWAIIAN BANKING DEPARTMENT.

This is the title OF Il pamphlet issued
by Mr. John NJ Horner, OF Hamakua,
Hawaii, supporting to set out "a COM
pIete and comprehensive system of Gov
eminent finance and currency
for the use OF the Government and peo-
pie OF Hawaii" The idea underlying
this scheme is by no means novel, al
though Mr. Horner, with the self con
sciousness of an original discOverer,
claims to WELD "the magic wand" page
81 which will finally adjust the none
tary systems of the world upon peTma-
nent and national basis. In other
words, the currency of country under
Mr.. Horner's plan would be self-adjust-
ing, and of precisely the volume to meet
the requirements of trade and industry
from day to day. If this could be ac-
cOmplished, it would be very great
boon, but Mr.. HOrner has failed to re-
duce his theory to practicable shape
His plan is far too crude to merit seri-
ous discussion. Starting upon the basis
that fixed and movable property of
every kind, and evidences of indebted
ness such as mortgages, bonds, etc,
represent the wealth of country, Mr..
Horner's idea is that all that is needed
TO ;naugurate the golden era of monetary
equilibrium is to establish Il Govern
1nent bureau; which shall make add
vances OF legal tender paper, by way OF
loan, at 1 per cent per aunun, upon the
security OF any kind Of property accord
