FROM FATAL FIGUREsy

Accuracy OF statement is essential to the
right understanding Of any question. -Ad0er-
HJey Of Ma,rh 81. ,,.sn
We told you yesterday, gentle organ,
that if you failed to dodge the I" fool
killer would knock youflsilly, and in
spite Of the friendly advice you have
failed to dodge. The Gazette told the
truth ; the :" daily morning organ of the
Opposition +" told the truth the Ad0er.
Hsey of yesterday in its leading editor
ial told the truth-all. but one sen.
tence, and while you were writing that
fatal lie you forgot to dodge and the
fool-killer got in his lick and
Knocked you silly. Poor AdSertiSe,
how did you feel when you awoke yes
terday morning and found the general
public, and the school children, who
have reached percentage, poking fun
at your editorial nonsense
The Press was correct when ii
stated "that the Government organ
has been advised by disinterested par
ties and is perfectly well aware that no
determinations have been made by
shippers here against American vessels .
We further believe that the AG5eyfise,-
Was swell informed on the subject I"
before the following he was printed /:
Considerably over 50 per cent. Of
Hawaiian products shipped to tine
Coast during January and February of
the present year, we're carried in British
and German bottoms as will appear
below" When we glanced at the
table which followed we began thinking
it was either a bad case of Government
gin or else it was intellectual dizziness,
such as great mathematicians are some
times afflicted with. We studied the
table for an hour we read and re.read
the lie preceding it; we read on
through the editorial until we struck
the last sentence which referred to the
table in the following words: sit car
ries its own lesson on its face" Then
light began to pour in upon US; up to
this point we had been treating the HI
1sytisey as sane. The following is the
table upon which the AdSe,hser had
based its lie and upon which we make
our calculation

Cuban Courtship.

One pities the Cuban young man
who is in love- He cannot see her
alone, and cannot come regularly to the
house until fair understanding of his
intentions is arrived at. And when, at
last, he has attained the felicity of being
daily expected, he must do all his court
ing in the presence of the family and
utter his sweetnesses across the critical
ear of his future mother-inlaw. Until
they have been to church the two are
never left alone. The whole family
takes SLY turns in watching them.
There is regular detail made, think,
from the older servants of the house to
keep an eye upon them. But there is
human nature everywhere, even in
Cuba, and the two are always getting
off to window seat or a distant pair
of chairs, though, with equal certainty,
somebody sidles off in that direction
and mounts guard The smitten pair
do not walk together in the evening.
He does not accompany her to the
theatre or to mass. They enjoy all the
bliss they can under great difficulty,
and with all mankind looking on. The
indirect result of all this espionage, of
course, nobody in this land of custom
has ever observed. There are great
many small intrigues and innocent en-
deavors to circumvent the detectives.
There are eloquent glances, signals, fan
talk ard the SLY interchange of notes.
Then the iron-guarded window, instead
of being protection, becomes great
convenience 1t is more than the front
gate is with us. She knows when he
will pass by, and stands inside with a
fair hand clasplng the bars other cage,
and waits for him. They stand there
with the iron between them and talk.
Every day it is so, and if mamma wishes
to stop it she must come and stand in
the window also. There are other res
poets in which the young man has a
hard time, He must come every day.
He must, and she holds him to the
strict letter of this law. He is bound
to show, by every means in his power,
that he holds all other women in con-
tempt and detestation. He must not
dance with any other, and had better
not be caught holding on to any other
window bars in any other street He
tells all his friends about it, and she all
hers, and the matter is diligently dis
cussed. If he should fail to come
around regularly every day he has to
tell satisfactory story. | have known

A Disgusted Caller.

Professor Jacques, as everybod,
knows, has been investigating psychica'
phenomena. The Professor has a
brother who isn't SO much interested in
psychical phenomena as he is. This
brother called the other evening to
make fraternal visit He entered the
house and struck, naturally enough, for
the back parlor The Professor stopped
him at the door.
"Sh-h, sh-h," said the Professor, "don't
come in--don't make a noise-there's
a lady in here in trance"
The visitor started back, and attempt
ed to go into the front parlor. AT the
door he was met by somecody he didn't
know, who said;
"Sh-h, sh-h, don't come in; there's a
man in here who is just going under
the influence p
Then he started for the library.
Somebody else met him as he swung
open the door.
"Sh-h, sh-h, be careful there's a
seance going on, and you'll spoil the
conditions if you come in that wayp
He rushed up stairs and raped
rather briskly at the door of the family
sitting room. 1t was his sister-in-law
who met him this time, and she said
"Sh-h, sh-h, don't make noise You'll
wake the babyw
Then he darted down stairs, took his
hat and cane and left the house. B0s-

Present Condition of the Panama
Canal

PANAMA (via Galveston), Dec. H.
The present condition of the'canal is
described as follows by the officials OF
the company: Operations are under
way on two-thirds of the entire length
Of the proposed canal. The other third
will be the easiest of all to excavate,
as it is composed of soft earth only.
Active preparations are being made for
beginning work on the section, and the
erection of machinery is in progress.
The amount of machinery now in use
is considerable and is constantly increas-
ing. Excavators for the Culebra sec
ton are now being disembarked. If
the excavators in actual practice prove
to possess only one-fourth the power
they have displayed when on trial, they
will be sufficient to excavate the bulk
of the Culebra section in lass than three
years. The company and the engineers
are straining every nerve to bring the
work to a speedy conclusion Nearly all
the requisite buildings are finished and
the American dredgers in the first twen-
ty kilometers are all working to their
full capacity. The number of laborers
employed is $4,000 and it is the pur-
pose of the company to double this
number during the dry season. Work
will then proceed upon all sections.
The inundations of the Chagres river
this season have caused only Slight
damage to the work in progress. There
are in the hospitals at Panama and
Colon at present about 45o canal en-
ployes."

per cent. carried by British and Ger
man vessels. o AG0eyaiSer, AG5eyfiseyl
you have deliberately-nay, we will not
say 1t, we join the general public and
mingle our sorrow and pity with
them. But we will not even allow the
A6aettiSey the satisfaction of the actual
result of its table. From the list Of
British ships we ruthlessly snatch the
bark LAZY Lambsoa, which is owned
by Americans and only nominally flies
the British flag. We further state that
the Lazy LampsOn would to-day be fly
ing the Hawaiian flag if her Captain
had not forgotten on his last trip to
bring one of the papers necessary to
admit her to the protection of this
Government She will be so admitted
the next time she touches here. This
fact will reduce the amount of pro-
ducts shipped by British and German
vessels $7I,oI5.IS which, subtracted
from $4S4572.37, leaves a total of
$4I3,55zI9. This materially reduces
the thirty-four per cent Of Hawaiian
products earned in British and Ger
man vessels and virtually increases the
sixtysix per cent. carried in American
vessels The figures for the two
months of 1886 do not materially
differ from the figures for the whole of
1885, which the Ad0erfissr was forced
to admit. o Adtsrhisey, Advertiseyi I

$4S4s7a 81

We admit that this table is substan-
TALLY correct, with one exception, which
we will speak of hereafter Now, with
reference to the lie American YES
sells have carried $94I,I92,92, and
British and German vessels have car
ried $4SA572.37 worth of products
hence Add the two amounts and the
result is $I,425,76s.2o. The question
to be decided is what percentage of
$L425,765.29 is $4S4s7a.37. The
calculation which we have made,
dropping decimals, is that $4S4,s7z37
is "a per cent. Of $I,425,765,a9 and
that $94I,Io2.9a is 90 per cent Of
$I,4as,76s.29. American vessels,
therefore, from fatal figures published
by the Ad1ertisey, are shown to have
carried for the months of January and
February 1886, sixty-six per cent of
Hawaiian products against thiry-four
