CONSUMPTION OF LIGHT WINE.

The increased consumption Of Cali
fornia wine is marked feature in the
wine and liquor trade of this Kingdom
to-day. The light wines of California
are displacing the vile and poisonous
compound sold to native Hawaians as
gin, but which has as much OF the char
acter Of the genuine article as it has of
goats milk. 1t is simply a fraudulently
compounded article, the sale OF which
should be prohibited under heavy pen
alties. As the consumption of whole
some light wines increases there should
be noticeable diminutiOn in drunken
ness and crimes originating in it. For
this reason we are pleased to note the
fact referred to in the beginning of this
article OF course those who oppose the
use OF wine, simply because it is an in
toxicant, will hardly be prepared to go
the length We do in regarding the in
creased use of it as public good, but
they should at least sympathize in de-
gree with any change in the drinking
habits of the native people which makes
for their moral and physical improve
ment.
The policy of the Legislature in pass
ing law encouraging the importation OF
California wine was a good one. 1t
might have been quite as well, however,
if the duty on light wines had been re-
duced, discriminating at the same time
against made or "dOctored" wines.
This would have gone far to protect con-
sumers against spurious wines, so largely
made in Europe and exported chiefly to
the United States and the British de-
Tendencies in the South Seas. Sound
table wines are produced in California
and Australia by the natural process of
fermentation from grapes, and these
wholesome beverages should not be ex-
posed to the competition of bogus wine
prepared by chemical process. The law
as it stands, however, makes no discrim-
nation in favor of the consumer, alcO-
holic test being the sole test; but next
Legislature it would be well if some
memberof influence took the matter in
hand, even were the Government to
neglect 10 do so. We should encourage
trade with Australia as well as with Cal
ifornia, and we know Of no better way OF
doing that than by following out the line
of policy we have herein suggested.

WHAT ARE THE POLICE DOING !?

The escape of Chun Hook and the de-
tail of prisoners to hunt after their self
liberated comrade is the strongest posi-
BILE condemnation of prison management.
Under proper discipline the escape could
not have occurred; but if Chun Hook or
any other convict had made dash for
liberty ne should have been recaptured
or shot down before he ran a hundred
yards But Chun Hook got away with
j bali and chain attached to his leg, his
fellow-prisOners in full cry after him.
The only wonder is that his example
was not catching. If it had been, what
would the gaol officials have done? But
the prisoners did not voluntarily sup
plement the Privy Councils work, and
there is therefore only Chun Hook to
look for
The police nave since been called into
requisition, but they do not seem to
have accomplished anything. Indeed,
they have not succeeded in running
down the man who burglarized Mr..
Hendry's house some time ago and
stripped it of so many valuable articles.
Nor for the matter of that, have they
been one whit more successful in regard
to other robberies OF more remote
occurrence. What are they doing,
therefore? Surely the heads of the Grim
inal department must know the history
of all suspicious characters, and have
complete knowledge of their haunts and
habits. If there are receivers of stolen
property in Honolulu or vicinity these
"fences" should be known, and by that
means a clue obtained TO stolen property
Ii such knowledge is in the possession
OF the authorities, they do not seem TO
avail themselves Of it; if it is not they
fail in their duty, and the rank and file
OF the force are to be eXOnerated from
blame Now that the Attorney General
has returned from circuit, We may be
permitted 10 suggest TO him the neces-
sity for investigating prison management
and police methods with a view to i'm
provement. This matter is becoming
serious. Nothing but laxity on the part
of the authorities can account for the fact
that the Hawaiian Islands have become
a thieves paradise and swindlers' re
treat.

policy in the next Presidential cam
paign. OF course the labor movement
is to be taken into account This may
weaken the Democracy somewhat, but
prohibition may be looked upon as off
setting it somewhat a. against the Re-
publicans Mr. Watterson had word
10 say upon the labor movement which
is worth reprinting He said
The vote for George Is a scare 70 the Re
publicans, a warning 70 the Democrats
and delusion 70 the WorHngmen. George
is free trader; the workingrnen are pro-
tectionists. Here is an anomaly that can
not last. The WOrkingmen who are at war
with the corporations and capitalists on
every other point save the tariff, must
come to see that the tariff is really the
pivotal point When they do all the advan-
tages Of the tariff issue viii whip over 10
the Democrats. In the old slavery fight the
worknen stood out agin the niger" But
/ the tune changed when the real nature OF
| the case made itself known and felt to thu
! cOnsciences and the brains Of the million
! who earned their bread by the toll Of free
/ men So it will be with the robbery which
gees by the name Of protection. It's, for tn
| workingman, only another and a ney
slavery! Our people are equally fond 0
parallels and paradoxes. In the position
Of the workingmen on the tariff they hav
paradox. In Mr.. George they may have
parallel in 1888 10 Fremont in 1856. Blu
the Democratic leaders can prevent this
they are wisely brave and can support tn
labor movement just as the Free Soiler
supported the Know Nothing movement

mlnnehaha Wants to Marry.
[Chicago News.l

Ninnehaha, the daughter of White
Cloud, chief of the Sitting Bull band OF
the Fox tribe of mountain Dakotas, is
stopping at little hotel on the west
side. Major Newell, who has charge of
the little band of Indians of which she
is a member, says Minnehaha's mother
was a white woman, captured years ago
on the plains and adopted into the tribe.
She inherits her mothers blue eyes and
has a much fairer skin than the majority
of Indians. She is 10 years of age, and
is said to be the handsom est squaw IN
the tribe.
ssHer mother discovered gold dust in
the mountain streams, said MAJ.
Newell, land managed to scrape to-
gether a considerable amount as adowry
Tor the girl. 1t is 50, 200, think, and
that makes her an heiress, you know.
The singular part of the story is that she
desires to marry a respectable white
man, and has the sanction of her father
and her tribe. While in st. Louis she
received four offers of marriage, one
from noted young criminal lawyer.
She refused them all. she is kind,
speaks fair English, and VIII marry only
after she has found a man whom she

Made a High Note of 1t.

A lot of girls were practicing some
choral pieces for the forthcoming
Christmas services in the snug and
luxurious Trinity chapel. Brother Dix
is nothing if not intensely literary in
his worshipful duties, and he was just
tickled almost to death because he had
been able to borrow some ancient
music written in the missal style
of the sixteenth century. A
huge page of the precious melody with
notes as big as plaques and embellished
with heads of saints and angels was dis
played on an easel in front of them.
They were expected to enthuse nightly
over this treasure of art and religion,
and to raise their voices reverentially to
the mummifed tune There was one
girl, a high, squeaky soprano, who
seemed to have vocal explosion at a
certain point, sending one note up like
a sky-rocket. Dix was little startled
and let her try it over and over again,
but ever with the same phenomenon.
Il beg your pardon, Miss Sophie, y he
said blandly, but where do you find
that note away up in high G?''
She gazed fixedly at the ornate sheet
of music, with its conglomeration of
notes and cherubim. Then she emitted
a te-he and said: ''Imperil my soul, doc
tor, if l haven't been singing the head
of that bald angel every time Icams
to it. -

An African Soothing Syrup.
Foreign letter.

''The next morning l made some in
quiries and found that the catfish was
a sort of African soothing syrup, and
given to babies quite regularly, or any
one else who happened to need dose.
AS soon as a native child began to COM
plain, tub or vessel of water was
brought out and several of the fish
caught, if they were not on hand, and
the child made to get into it and play
with the fish. Not only do they do this
to cure the sick, but in some tribes the
mother, when washing their infants in
the morning, invariably make them
take a shock by touching the fish. This,
they said, made the baby grow to
strong man. The children, however,
objected to it, and the squalling and
screaming, when the little fishes were
brought out, was something appalling.
The children are also made to drink the
water in which the fish have been, and
finally the fish itself is eaten, so that
the remedy is a veritable cure-all, and
can be taken externally or internally
as the case may be-.

it is difficult to conceive that both
were derived from the same original
stock A comparison of the sturdy,
rugged pony. with the carefully reared
thOroguh bred, in which fineness and
delicacy are so conspicuous, shows an
equally strong contrast. Continued
breeding upon the bleak Shetland islands
through long series of years have so
reduced the size of the animal, that it is
often only seven or eight hands high.
The excessive tail and name are char
acteristic of the breed. The face is
often so concealed by the name and fore
lock, as to remind one of Skye-terrier,
and it makes the animal appear smaller
than it really is. The short neck is well
formed, and the shoulders are muscular
and slanting Though small, the Shet-
lander has remarkable strength, and
will carry a heavy man with ease, pro-
vided the rider can mango to so dispose
of his legs that they will not be in the
way One is said to have carried a man
weighing over $50 pounds, forty miles
in day; in harness, they manifest as
tonishing strength.
The ponies are usually good natured
and allow children, to whose use they
are admirably suited, to pull them about
with as much patience as a Newfound-
land dog. Shetland ponies are of a
great variety of colors, though gray
ones are extremely rare. They were at
one time so abundant upon the Shet-
land islands that any one who chose
could capture them, but so many have
been shipped to England and other
countries, that their numbers are said to
have been greatly diminished.
