THE LAST FOREIGN NEWS.

Suspicious are confirmed The lull
which was observable in the course Of
events in Eastern Europe i but the calm
before the storm. The impression is fast
gaining that a great war is inevitable
some time III the near future,
and that the Winter season. which
would retard military operations
upon a large scale, is being ac-
lively ayaiied Of in the arsenals OF the
great Powers to prepare for the coming
struggle. Russia doubtless has a def
mite plan OF action; its precise nature
can only be surmised The change in
the French Cabinet will not allay that
country's warlike Instincts, which are 100
deeply seated in the heart Of the nation,
and NJ. Goblet has already declared
that the foreign policy Of France
is unchanged That OF the British
Government has been announced in
unmistakable terms and that OF Aus
tria is substantially synonymous, while
Germany, though her additional war
credit is reduced from what was origi-
nally intended, still continues to act on
the forebodimg lately uttered by her
War Minister
The coerciye policy Of the Tory Gov
ernment.in Ireland continues to be rigor-
ously carried out, giving no hope OF
pacification, the principal feature in re-
gard to this at the present moment being
the prosecution OF Mr. Dillon, which is
sub judice.
Cholera is still making its appearance
in fresh centers, the latest benign Chile,
a circumstance which should act as a
warning as regards sanitary matters,
more particularly in tropical attitudes.

LAND COLONIZATION.

We are pleased to see a revival OF the
interest in Mr.. Dillingham's coloniza-
ton scheme. Recent advices from en-
land, where he has sent proposals Tor
carrying out the scheme, are favorable.
1t is u large undertaking, however, and
the energetic promoter must be prepared
Tor delays in the Organization OF colo
nization company such as he contem-
plates, especially in England, where 50
many similar projects are being con-
stantly brought before the investing
public Several of these in the United
States, Australia and New Zealand have
proved disastrous to investors, which may
induce them to look more favOrably
upon this Hawaiian scheme, especially
with such a remarkable record OF fer
tility As our statistics of export exhibit.
Should an English company be organ

in Mr. Dillingham's prospectus, it is
understood that a sufficient portion of

and the almost uniform fertility OF its

prime factors in bringing this to pass

THE VALUE OF RECREATION.

The Christmas season has been
marked by the usual round OF entertain
ments, which for the most part have
been largely patronized, showing the
zest with which the community, es-
pecially the younger portion, enter into
such things. ADJUSTMENTS, at least
those OF a public character, are ordin-
arily less numerous in Honolulu than in
most cities of similar dimensions. Pro-
fessional caterers for the pr; are de
tered in great Ir---dsure from visiting
our shore: oy the remote and insulal
posHTion, and consequently their visits
are few and far between. Hence the
onus OF providing suitable amusement is
cast upon amateurs. Recreation is a
necessity to the rising generation; it will
always be found in some shape or form.
Hence 1t is a matter OF no small import
ance to give it proper bent. This is
one OF the best safeguards against al
lowing the tastes to wander into unde-
sirable channels. II concerts, amateur
dramatic entertainments and the like,
which it must be acknowledged are gem
orally very creditably got up, were a
little more frequent than has been the
case hitherto they would afford a Iegiti-
mate scope of amusement, and in this
way would be indirectly the means of
effecting some good.

THE NEW JUDGES.

Public apprehension has been at last
allayed by the official announcement we
make in another column, to the effect
that the King has been pleased to APP
point Mr.. Bickerton and MIR. Fernandez
to the vacancies created on the Supreme
Bench by the Statute of 1886.
In both instances the appointments
are unexceptionable. Mr.. Justice Bick-
erton has we'll and faithfully earned his
promotion by a long and honorable
career at the Hawaiian bar, and on the
bench as Police Justice of Honolulu, only
second in importance to the Supreme
Bench itself. He is a man of liberal
ideas and sound legal knowledge, and
his social position is beyond question
The appointment Of Mr.. Bickerton to
the Supreme Bench is 4 good one, and
we congratulate His Majesty upon the
sslec5blion 81 100000 in London was
quoted at seven per cent premium. We
have therefore before US as the result OF
the late financial operation this fact,
that 100000 in per cent bonds
were sold or exchanged ut Honolulu
for other bonds at % per cent of
their face value, thereby losing seven
per cent on that amount to the
Treasury; that 81 800, 900 were sold
to London syndicate at the same
figure; and that when the London
market was tested the syndicate melted
IA per cent as their share in the
operation, $l,OOO,OOO being placed on
the market. This cannot be re- ,
garded as very good financing for the
Hawaiian Government; it was admirable
financing for the London syndicate, for !
which they should be duly grateful
We have held all along that a ) per /

been placed at par, but that would not !

Backed by Printers Ink, Can Accomplish.

Many of the older citizens of this young city
ago, whose clear voice resounded upon the
streets in such musical dialect as ''Jurn1 n
Sentinel" "Shine," ETC., and many of these same
citizens, who knew not the lads name, will be
surprised to learn that the aforesaid youth is
none other than Mr.. P. J. Kelleher, whose name
is now known more prominently in connection
with headwear than perhaps any dealer in the same
line in the city. Seven years ago Mr.. Kelleher
engage in the hat trade, and for nearly i've
street. When following his youthful vocation
he could yell as loud run as fast and give as
good shine as any boy on the turf. 1t seems
he has brought the same pushing characteristics
into the management of his business, and the
term leading halter" is an appropriate appella-
ton. Mr. Kelleher has in stage parlance,
'tramped the boards bit," and has made many
good hit in Shakspeare's renditions He has
changed his tactics little now, and uses bill
boards. on which the eternal tramp of "Kelleher,
the leading hatter," goes marching on. Mr..
Kelleher is captain of the Emmett Guards. and
men of the city. His popularity and success as
business man is due to the fact that he is wide
awake, is q judicious advertiser. genial and en-
terprising Always up in the latest styles
and novelties. nothing appears in the Eastern
market more than few days in advance of the
exhibition of the same in the attractive window
at 36 South Meridian street The above facts
were elected from Mr.. Kelleher in a pleasant
chat which the Journal "Man About Town had
with him. And although this enterprsing mer-
chant may be surprised to see this in print, it is
hoped that he will not take ofense at the sugges-
ton that his youthful days were spent in turning
an honest penny as newsboy and boctblack.
