IN PRISON..

An American citizen named Cut
ting is lying in prison on the Next
can side of FL Paso, mainly for the
purpose of ascertaining if there is
any virtue in the fact of his being
an American citizen. Leaving out
of consideration the grounds of his
arrest, the fact is unpleasantly pro-
minent that the protection afforded
by the United States is of very
poor quality. When American citi-
zens claim TO be subjects of Eng
land, that they may obtain i'm
munity from annoyances to which
Americans are subjected, the for
bearance which great power has
manifested as weak one ceases to
he virtue. There is no reason,
except readiness to act, why
British protection in Mexico should
be more respected than American.
England could only reach Mexico,
in the event of war, by costly
naval expedition, while the United
States could march an army into the
Mexican capital with no greater
effort or expense. 1t is much to be
hoped that the amiable gentleman
who presides over the State Depart
ment will see that justice is done be-
fore many days have elapsed.
The pretense that the Mexican Gov
eminent cannot act in the matter,
except as the State of chihuahua
may direct, is not entitled to much
consideration. The United States
has no relations with the State of
chihuahua. Any questions that may
arise in which the people of that
State are especially interested must
be presented to our Government
through the Mexican Government.
The subterfuge would not have been
thought of if the subject of a great
European power had been in a
Mexican prison.-[S. F. Call.

ABOUT A CONTRACT.

EDITOR BULLETN:-We desire to
call attention of your numerous
readers to local that appeared in
the BULLETIN of the 10th inst, re-
lating to the several tenders made
by the builders of Honolulu, for
the brick building contemplated by
Mr.. Mendoza. 1t is customary in
all countries to award such contract
to the lowest bidder. The right OF
a proprietor to withhold the con-
tract from the lowest bidder is used
only when needed to protect him
from complications with irresponsi-
BILE and unprincipled parties. In
the case above named the pro-
prietor, Mr.. Mendoza, gave out the
plans and specifications to the
several builders to compete for the
erection of his building. Six tend
ers were received varying from
So, 200 to S1O,9S5. Mr.. Lishman's
tender was withdrawn. We were
the next lowest bidders. Mr.. Men
doza did not consult us in any way,
but gave the contract to Mr.. Lucas,
whose bid was S236 above us, which
caused us not alone loss of time esti
mating but $50 cash on holding mate
rial, which we consider an injustice
us, as it seems that Mr.. Mendoza
knew at the time he gave us the
plans and specifications that he did
not intend to give us the work.
We do not complain when we
give our true and best energies to
estimating for such as ask for our
tender, although sometimes unsuc-
cessful, if we are fairly beaten, but
when we win job by fair open
handed dealing, we do not expect
another to take the prize which he
did not win. The intelligent bust
ness men of this city will not fail to
see the difference between fair and
unfair dealing. Our only reason
for giving publicity to the foregoing
facts is for the vindication of our
good name with the public gen
orally. HARRISON Bros.

FOREIGN NEWS.
GREAT BRITAIN.

At the re-assembling of Parlia-
ment on the 9th inst, the ''grand
old man" took his seat on the oppo-
sition of the house. The members
of the new cabinet are not going to
find beds of roses on the ministerial
benches. The Irish question must
be met. The ministers will be
obliged to contend against the un-
compromising hostility of the Par
nell party, and will be subjected to
the terrible lash of Gladstone's elo-
quence at every step, that is if their
Irish non-policy programme is at
tempted to be carried out. Backed
as the opposition is by the great
mass of the people of Ireland, Scot
land and Wales, they have it in
their power to make abundance of
trouble for the government.
The commission of enquiry into
the causes of the depression of trade,
appointed in 1855, has completed
its work. The commission do not
think the depressions due to any
abnormal conditions in the trade of
the country, but rather to the fail
ures of the past few years in the
agricultural returns of the kingdom.
German competition is mentioned as
affecting manufacturing interests.
The commission think that British
Consuls should report more fire.
quently, and that British manufac-
turers should take steps to suit their
goods to the requirements of foreign
markets.
The government has decided tc
send additional forces to Burmah
where affairs are in rather bat
state. 1t is intended to establish
British rule there on permanent
basis. Major General Sir Herber
Macpherson is to be placed in com
mand of the forces in Burmah.

A WORK OF ART.

Messrs. G. w. Macfarlane & Co.
have been distributing a fine litho-
graph portrait, painted by Veyras-
set, young French artist. 1t is
somewhat idealized face of one of
the fashionable ladies of the day.
The picture was got up for Tor
chiani & Kremer, of Milwaukee,
Wis, by the Shober Lithograph
Company of Chicago. The artist
got $4,000 for the painting, and the
firm spent $4,000 on the whole
edition, which has been distributed
gratis, probably all over the world.
1t is an illustration of the ingenuity
and enterprise of the advertising
methods of the age. The picture,
which is an exceedingly pretty one,
is published as an advertisement of
Blatz's Wiener Beer. Thirty-one
color stones were used in the litho-
graphing process. 1t has been quite
the rage in San Francisco, and the
supply sent to Honolulu has already
been exhausted. Many of the reci-
pients of the engraving who admire
the picture but do not care for beer
have had the beer sign painted out.
Young Veyrasset is regarded as one
of the most promising artists of the
day, and was pupil of Aimee
Nicoles Morot, who in the four
years, 1877-1881, won all the honors
of the Paris Salon.

HONOLULU RIFLES.

The Honolulu Rifles, in response
to an order from ii. f. Hebbard,
First Lieutenant commanding, as
sembled at the old armory last
evening in good force. After gather
ing all the company's traps, and
placing them in a baggage express,
the members formed line. Three
rousing cheers, with a tiger, were
then given for William Williams, of
Williamsburg, and the old armory.
Having shouldered arms and formed
the line of march, Mr.. w. King
drummed the Rifles to the new
armory, formerly the Central Park
skating rink, where they were intro
duced to their new captain, Mr.. V.
V. Ashford. The captain elect,
without stiffness or formality, made
a spontaneous speech expressing his
admiration for military discipline
while in the ranks. He further said
that no military organization could
become success without discipline.
After briefly abiding to the past,
present and future actions of the
Rifles, and expressing his interest
in the company's welfare, he thanked
them for the honor they had con-
ferred upon him, by electing him
Captain. Shortly after the COM
pany was dismissed to allow the
member to put their accoutrement'

WELCOME RAIN.

Rain began, in gentle showers, at
an early hour last evening, and con-
tinued through the night. 1t has
also been showering, more or less,
most of the day, somewhat retard-
ing building operations on the many
new structures in the course of cree
ton. Rain was badly needed, and
its advent is therefore welcomed.
Cattle down country have been
suffering for lack of grass, and
vegetation in general is in a lam
gushing condition. The rain will
produce covering of green in a
day or two, and all nature will
smile. Although we have not had
enough yet.

A STORY OF SHERMAN.

Among those of our citizens who
called to pay their respects to Gen
eral Sherman when he visited the
city last week was one with whom
he was brought in contact under
somewhat less pleasing circum-
stances a little more than twenty
years ago. The gentleman refer
red to-who is a warm admirer of
General Sherman, both as man
and soldier-had command of
section of country down South
(under Confederate authority into
which Sherman had seen fit to march
with his boys in blue. In that neigh
bOrhood had lived negro, whose
aged mistress had allowed him entire
control of a farm, which he managed
for his own benefit. One morning,
while the Federal troops were not
far away, the old lady was found
dead, with her throat cut, and her
favorite negro had decamped and
got within Sherman's lines. The
people were greatly aroused over
the righteousness of the murder, and
the Confederate officer sent a mes
sage to Sherman, under flag of
truce, detailing the circumstances
and requesting that the fugitive be
returned for trial by the civil author
tiles. Sherman replied that he didn't
just then have much confidence in
the reliability of courts down that
way, especially when runaway
slaves life was at stake, and he
deemed it more prudent to retain
custody of the fugitive. He asked,
however, that the witnesses be sent
to him, in which case he would
guarantee a fair and impartial trial,
and if the culprit were found guilty
he would have him hanged. He con-
Guided his letter to the Confederate
officer with warm request to be
remembered to Mrs. H (the
latter's sister,, whom he had not
had the pleasure of meeting foI
several years. The wearer of tho
gray replied at once that witnessed
