FREIGHT DISCRIMINATION.

We note the fact that the monthly
organ of the Opposition planters has
long editorial on this subject, in which it
practically admits the conclusions drawn
by the ADVERTISER early this year, when
discussing Opposition business methods as
inimical to the Treaty. There is good
deal of childish and irrelevant matter in
the article in question which is not de-
serving notice; and indeed as freight
discrimination" is a dead cock in the pit
since the recent addition to Hawaiian
tonnage through the business enterprise
of the Oceanic Steamship Company, it is
not worth referring to further. We may
not, however, ignore the animus of the
writer as expressing the thoughts of the
impotent coterie behind him. This is
exhibited in the following extract, which
we publish without note or comment, as
illustrating the malignant imbecility of
the Opposition leaders even on matters
which concern their own personal inter-
ests:
The competition in the carrying trade
now eXlSUng VIII be OF 1nucn greater al
vantage to 7American shipping" at large
than it was under last years regime; al
ready the number of vessels III port or on
the way is much larger than it was at the
same time last year. Discrimination
against Mr.. Spreckels is not discrimination
against American shipping, and will do no
injury to the prospects of the treaty, no
matter how widely known it may be. On
the contrary, the strongest argument which
the opponents of the treaty bring to bear
against the treaty is that it is of advantage
to no one but the Spreckels monopoly. 1t
is therefore of positive advantage to have
it known that the Spreckels monopoly is
not supreme.

Hawaiian FInuers

anew book, indigenous Flowers of
the Hawaiian Islands, by Mrs. f. SIN
clair, has just been published in Lon
don. 1t contains over forty water color
plates OF flowers, and is a most valuable
work. Messrs. j. NJ. Dat, Jrs, & Co., will
shortly have copies for sale, and orders
should be left with them at once. The
London Field" of February Goth, has
the following review of this book: ''The
Towering plants OF the Hawaiian Islands,
Mrs. Sinclair states, are said by botanists
to exceed four hundred species, though
she believes it probable that many of
these are now either extinct or becoming
so. Within the last fifty or sixty years,
forest fires, animals and agriculture have
so changed the Islands that one can now
travel for miles without finding a single
indigenous plant; the native fora is be-
ing supplanted by an imported one.
Her book, therefore, though presenting
only a limited collection, is a val
liable one, as preserving forms
which may perhaps soon pass away.
Her drawings bear upon them the
stamp of conscientious fidelity; but
they possess in addition a true
artistic merit. The flowers are al
more or less beautiful, and they are
all most beautifully rendered. To eacl
the scientific as well as the native name
| is appended, and short description il
given by the authoress. Her SUMPTION:
volume will form welcome addition tc

We had pleasant call yesterday from
Mr.. c. II. Munson, of Amsterdam, New
York, who represents the Democrat"
and other newspapers OF that section OF
the Empire State Mr.. Munson is
favorably impressed with what he has
already seen on the Islands, and pro-
poses to make a thorough examination of
their industries and resources. Being 4
gentleman of experience and intelligence,
his letters from the Islands will doubt
less "spread the light" regarding them
in quarters where little is now known.
Mr.. Munson will doubtless have every
facility placed in his way for accomplish
ing the purpose of his visit.

Heavy Sentence.

About month ago Hans Peterson,
Norwegian, who kept a soda water stand
and shooting gallery on Hotel street, was
arrested and fined $3.50 for selling liquor
without license. The fine was 50
promptly paid that it lead to the conclu-
sion some one else was in with him. He
was afterwards warned by friends to keep
within his license. This warning, how
ever, proved fruitless, for on Monday he
was again arrested on a similar charge,
and yesterday was tried before Police
Justice Bickerton. A native testified
that on Sunday night at 8 o'clock he
went to the prisoners premises and pur-
chased three bottles of beer for 81. An
hour and half later he purchased six
more for So As he was leaving the
stopped him and asked him what he had
got in the bag. The result was the bag
and its contents were taken to the Police
Station and Peterson was arrested the
following morning. A short time before
the arrest the prisoner took a coal oil
case to. the store of Mr.. Ramsay, on
Hotel street, and asked if he might leave
it there for time He was allowed to.
This case was found to contain bottles of
beer of the same brand as sold to the
native.
The prisoner, on being asked if he had
anything to say to the charge, denied
selling the beer to the native. His
Honor fined him $500 and sentenced him
to three months imprisonment at hard
labor.

FORGIVE AND FORGET.

The Bulletin" is quite correct. We
have changed our opinion OF the Zea-
landia and Australia They are ocean
tramps'' no longer, but will come to us
renovated and renewed, and with a good
conduct certificate as it were, for which
reason we shall welcome their arrival at
Honolulu. They will henceforward be
employed on a fixed trade under the Ha-
waiian flag, and will help to build up the
commerce and develop the Industries of
this country. Under these circumstances
our change of opinion is not surprising,
and our contemporary need not have got
angry about it. We are prepared
to be charitable even to itself.
If It's protested change of mind
be genuine, and it gives reason
able assurance that it will not fall again
from the straight line of duty, and take
to reviling the only business enterprise
that has done permanent good to all
interests in this country, we are pre-
pared to forget even its past Delinquent
cies and class it with the renovated
tramps as A No. l.

Porters of the Dark Continent.

Some of the finest material for porters
las been found among the natives of
Lake NyasSa, who, the missionaries say,
re the most devoted and faithful of
ervantS when properly treated. Messrs
Johnson, Stewart, Law, MapeS and other
Missionary travellers around Lake NyasSa
nave found their native assistants faith.
:ul, ready to go with them anywhere,
willing to work for a wonderfully low
icale of wages, and fraternizing readily
with the people they have met. Bands
of trusty native pOrters have for some
years carried the annual supplies for the
missionary stations on Lake Tanganyika
from Zanzibar, 500 miles, without
European escort, and letters for King
Mtesa, at the north end of Victoria
Nyanza, intrusted to native messengers
at Zanzibar, have safely reached their
destination.
Over 1, 900 Zanzibar poraers have been
in the service of the International asso-
citation for several years. Their Ian
guage, the Swahili, is as useful in Africa
as the French language is in Europe.
The Bantu dialects of the Congo and in
fact of nearly all the great central
African plateau, sufficiently resemble the
Swahih to enable the Zanzibaris and in
land natives to understand one another.
The Zanzibaris have, therefore, been of
great service as Intermediates between
Europeans and the Congo tribes. Their
term of service has now expired; most Of
them have gone home, and the associa-
ton not wishing to depend for its
labor upon so distant source of supply,
is filling their places with Congo
natives. Twelve hundred of them were
by last accounts carrying loads to Stan
ley Pool, of whom 500 were transporting
the steamer Stanley to the pool. 1t will
be a, great point gained for the new free
state if it successfully carries out its ex-
pertinent, now tried for the first time on
a large scale, of developing among the
millions of Congo natives a considerable
body of wage-workers. Il New York Sun.

A ShOWman's Trick.

Numerous are the tricks of the ad-
vertising agent. A few days ago it was
given out with elaborate detail that Adam
Forepaugh, jr., the well known circus man,
was making arrangements to have his
horse Blondin walk tight rope over Mag
ara Falls. The inherent impossibility of
the performance was recognized at once by
all who gave it moments consideration,
and those who have seen Blondiu's indiffer-
ent performance on a twelve-inch wide
plank laughed at the story as mere show
mans trick to get little free advertising.
Not so, however, Henry Bergh, the head
In this country Of the Society for the Pre-
vention Of Cruelty to Animals. In the in
nocence of his big heart, he swallowed the
story and promptly began preparations to
prevent the blood-curdling spectacle. With
impressive dignity Mr.. Bergh notifies the
Snowman that the promised performance
is contrary to the laws governing cruelty
to animals, and that if the attempt is made
he will be arrested and prosecuted. This
information is forwarded to every newspa-
per Of the land and is read and commented
upon. The Snowman never intended to
make the attempt, but he did intend to at
tract public attention to himself and his
horse. This he has done in exceeding good
style, and the best part of it is this mag
nihcent advertising costs him exactly
nothing.

port OF General Wagner, who as state in
spector OF the schools, had made a close ex-
animation into their condition and manage

be expected to constitute an important factor
in the proceedings. It is understood that
thirty specifications OF wrong-doing have
been formulated against Superintendent Hig.

Higbee had gone to Michigan and would not
return until October In view of this fact it
is likely that warrant for his arrest will not

case cannot De brought to trial until the Nov

The charges against the school proprietors
who had protited by the abuses were also
made tbs subject of consultation, but 1t is
said that Superintendent Higbee was regard

A dispatch from Harrisburg says that

readily credited, with the Knowl-
