Mr.. Squires Speaks

EDITOR DAILY Honolulu PRESS =
Sir. AS you have taken the liberty
to bring my name prominently before
the public, representing me as only
commanding corporaPs guard" in
comparison with the strength Of the
old Opposition party, l take occasion
to state that the "corporaPs guard" $50
called), which I have the honor to rep
resent, are quite sufficient to insure our
election or defeat our opponents. l
quite agree with you that the old party
cannot afford to have an Independent
ticket in the field, with any surety of
their being elected. believe it will
not be denied that the old Opposition
has hitherto led the peoples ticket
Granting this to be correct, have they
not led them to defeat instead of to
victory? This is stern fact and un-
deniable. If understand correctly,
the main, or perhaps only difference
of opinion is upon the labor and Asia
tic Immigration questions, both of
which the Opposition party desire to
see continued, as at present, in order
to supply their plantations with coolie
labor, even at the expense of all other
trades or callings. Myself and my
honorable associates on the Indepen-
dent ticket are in favor of repeating
the Labor Act, and stopping further
immigration from Japan and China, in
order, amongst other considerations, to
save the Hawaiian race from further
sacrifices and total annihilation. l am
Sir, yours etc, z. Y. SoUIREs.

An Interesting Case.

The case of Phillips VS. Waller anne
up yesterday in the Supreme Court be-
fore Judge Preston and foreign jury.
The case is one of malicious prosecu-
ton, involving a demand for damages.
P. Neumann, for the plaintiff and Wait
ing and Hatch for the defendant. The
facts, briefly cleaned from the testimony
of the parties, are as follows Some time
last year robbery of money was COM
mitted in Mr. Walters house, Phillips
then being employed in one of Walters
stores. A reward having been offered
for the discovery of the thieves, Phillips
volunteered to find them out, saying
that if the thing had happened in Ger
many, it would soon have been made
clear. He then stated that heswould
make the discovery, with the help of
card defination and some other little
magic known to himself On being
allowed to have the little "kahura'
game, he lntlmated that the robbery
had been committed by three Portu-
guese, residing on Punchbowl, but that
the money had not yet been spent.
Further, he asked for the use OF a
wagon on certain night, all by him
SELF with which to work out his magic
Although rediculing the whole proceed
ing, Mr., Waller humored him, and
finally found Phillips laying on the
ground pretending to be asleep, anc
his magic failed, because he had moi

Since Electricity has been applied for light
ing purposes, all efforts of inventors have
been directed TO construct lamp for general
domestic use. The reason why this problem
has till now not been solved, is that none OF
the inventors could rid themselves of the idea
of gas lighting, and that all have adhered to
the system of producing the Electricity in
some central place, or by large machinery, in
stead of first laying down the principle that
Lamp which should ever become generally
useful and popular, must be portable, like an
Oil Lamp, and contain the generator of Elec-
tricty in itself, i. e., in the foot of the Lamp
The Norman Electric Light Company has
at last succeeded in completely realizing this
ideal Of Electric Lighting, and there is no
doubt that this most important invention will
bring about complete revolution in all
branches of lighting.
Our Electric Lamp needs neither Machin-
cry, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay,
and is neither complicated nor disagreeable in
manipulation all that is necessary is to refill
it every four or five digs with acid. The cost
of lighting will be as cheap as gas ~ cents
per hour, and it has before the latter the inn
mense advantage of neither producing heat,
smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to which the
air is not inquired and remains al the same
degree Of temperature. 1t is further abso-
| lutely nOdOIouSi ana does not need 10 DC
kindled by match, or otherwise, but simply
by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger
Of fire, explosion or suffocation, as in the case
of gas, if the key is left open; and it must be
conceded that this advantage alone is nvau-
able 1t is further preferable to any known
kind Of lighting for the following reasons
~ Its manipulation is so simple thai any
child can keep it in ORDER
(2.) That the Lamp is portable, and can be
removed like any Oil Lamp, from one place
to another.
(3l That it neither requires the disagree
able fixing of the wick, or the cleaning of the
cylinder, as in the case Of Oil Lamps.
(4.) That the light produced is a soft and
most steady one that ii never flickers, and
the fame, though being equal in power OIL
lighting to gas, can be regulated to any de-
gree.
(5,l That every danger of fire is absolutely
excluded, as the light will extinguish immedi
ately, if by any accident the glass surrounding
the burner should be broken
(6,) That il will burn, even in the strongest
wind, completely unaffected, thus being in
valuable for Examinations, lighting of gardens
corridors, etc.

MAKE IT A HOLIDAY.

Now let the merchants and business men
of Austin do the correct thing. free
bridge across the Colorado will be given
us next Friday. The barbecue and festi-
val at Fa rgiew park will be the grandest
of the kind ever seen in this section OF the
country. There are to be some fifteen
beeves barbecued, besides number OF
sheep, kids and hogs. Thousands of visi-
tors will be present from Travis and the
adjoining counties, and the affair will be
one of the grandest epochs in the history
of our city. 1t is now that the business
men should lend hand, and
to this end close up their respective stores
and offices on the eighteenth, and give
their clerks chance to enjoy a general
holiday, The season is dull, very little
business to be done anyway, and one days
work will not be missed. Let all the mer-
chants sign an agreement to close on that
day and they will be more than dou6Iy re-
paid in the gratitude OF their employees
and the renewed zeal given them by day
of rest and relaxation.

THE IRISH RIOTS.

The disorders at Sligo, in which the
Catholic party assailed the Orangemen,
has put the two factions about square.
The Pr0testants began the difficulty by
tho mob proceedings and terrible out
RACES in Belfast. The Sligo riot was, pre-
sumably, the sequel in which the outages
committed were not at all inferior to the
Belfast article. Putting Belfast and Sligo
together, we have group of bloody deeds
of violence, compared with which the Chi
cago bomb throwing was but little ahead.
All constitute n disgrace to the boosted
civilization of the age, and give
the lie to our oft-repeated and puritanical
assertion that the present age is superior
TO its predecessor in refinement or practi-
cal morality.
In the case of the Irish riots those
familiar with history must see the same
old hobgoblin-dark, gloomy and bloody
whose footprints, traced in blood, are
strewn up and down in English history
which arose up at the battle of "Boyne
Water" and has presented himself many
times since. 1t is the demon of religious
intolerance-the greatest curse with which
any nation or people can be afflicted or
punished. This is the evil spirit now
stirring up bloodshed in Ireland-the evil
genius of the British throne.
Possibly such scenes of outrage and
bloody violence in Ireland would neve r
occur, if there, as in the United States,
church and state were utterly and perma-
nently divorced.
In Belfast the Protestants would never
have interfered with the Catholics, and at
Sligo the Catholics would never have at
tackled the Protestants, only each fear the
tyranny and merciless oppression of the
other when in possession of temporal
power. For these people English history

NIX. MOORE NOT THE AUTHOR.

The statement, without any foundation
of truth, has been made that ME-. Taylor
Moore was the author of the communica
ton in Sundays issue, in regard to Mr.. G..
g. Caldwelrs promises as to those he
would support in the convention.
The STATESMAN can truthfully say, fur
Their, that the communication and accom-
p6nying enclosures, were gotten up by a
Ieputabiy gentleman, without Mr.. Moore
knowing anything about them. The gen
tiernan WIS instigated by pure sense of
Justice, aud if Mr.. Caldwell desires any
information in regard to him, he can find
out who he is by inquiring at this Office.
If the statements made were incorrect,
the columns of The STATESMAN are open
to any communication he may desire to
make. This paper made no charges, but
only published those of an honorable gen
tleman, with the expectation, if untrue, OF
denial from Mr.. Caldwell. If "Fail
Play" was correct in what he said, ther
the people ought to know it, if he was mis-
informed, or there was any mistake, ther
in justice to Mr.. Caldwell, public denia
of the charges ought to be made.

suppose that anybody who feels bur-
dened with message on the railroad
question, fails in his duty if he does not
submit it. Referring to the rumored
| Lockhart extension of the Sunset road, it
would certainly seem good policy for
Austin to offer encouragement for them to
come thirty miles further, should they de-
eide to come so far as Lockhart. The
extension, if built, would leave hardly
thirty miles more to build to complete
connection with the gulf at Indianola, via
Cuero, the Sunset road having branch to
Gonzales already in operation, The
writer was assured hy Supt. Converse, of
the Sunset road, four years ago, that in
! less than Two years they would run trains
to Austin, via La Grange" to which place
| they had then just finished branch, but
the absorption of the Sunset and Houston
d Texas Central systems by that arch COB
bier of railroads, Huntington, put stop
to that, as he would hardly
care to parallel tine Hampstead &Austin line
unless forced to do SO. If we can, we can
have another line through rich and pros
porous section TO Houston, and ultimately
to Galveston, for the Huntington lines
will, in time, go there.
Let us look at it. Take good railroad
map of Texas, and draw an airline to
Bellville, on the Santa Fe railway. The
line will measure not over one hundred
miles, and passes through a score of fine
little towns, including Bastrop, and, with
a slight deviati - lagrange. What would
Austin, Bastrog Grange, Bellvile, and
the many smaller places give for such
connection-the most desirable one for al
of them that could possibly be made
connecting them with their capital on one
side, and Houston and Galveston on
the other? What would they give
unitedly? Enough, it is sure, to tempt
the Santa Fe, which has built to every
place that offered a decent subsidy.
But, suppose they were not
tempted. What would the Gould system,
which has no opening to the gulf between
Palestine and Laredo, say to putting their
shoulders to the wheel?
To put the matter in nutshell: Such
a subsidy as could easily be raised, on the
route indicated by properly authenticated
agents who should made business of it,
would be sufficient temptation to three
strong competing roads to secure us an
additional route to the gulf, inside of a
year probably, constructed mainly at the
cost of the road operating it, and through
the most desirable route for our convent
ence and profit. F.

BEN BUTLER.

The redoubtable Ben, long since shelved
by the people of this country, has SO long
been concealed by merlted oblivion, that
his coming cut few days ago, in an in
terview, againt the south, is like sudden
apparitioH from the dead. We all stand
aghast at the spectre, unbidden
and unwelcome, the feelings of the spec.
tators being amazement not unmingled
with disgust. This unexpected materiali-
cation from the political tombs talks with
the same malevolence for the south that
has always distinguished Ben Butler.
He says, now that the south
is rehabilitated in the government
and has a voice in the same
trouble may again be expected from the
southern states.
Not war; for Butler as well as every
southern man, knows full well, that the
sword of the south was sheathed a

Appomattox, and forever. But the
venerable hero of the campaign against
the noble women of New Orleans,
thinks the south will after awhile de-
mand payment for ITS losses by the war,
and naturalization for the destruction
of four billions of capital which went
down with slavery.
This Butler knows to be false, as does
every southern man VINO saw his capital
invested in slaves suddenly swept awav.
When the southern states went into the
revolution in 1861 it was we'll understood
that slavery was the vast and prodigious
stake to be played for; and that if we
lost, we should abide by the decision of
the sword. This we have religiously done,
and there is not man in the south to-
day, that ever expects one nickel for
losses, in slave property, which resulted
from that sublime and terrific struggle.
Butler knows this.
But there is one thing he, perhaps, does
not know. 1t is, that the time is not far
distant, when the south will join in with
the west-not to wage another military
conflict against the gOvernment-but
through legislation, to rid herself and the
west-in fact, all the agricultural states
of the vast system of absolute robbery By
a high protective tariff, fastened on us by
the republican party.
