The Republican papers are making
more fuss than is necessary about the
appointment of the colored lawyer
Mathews TO be the successor OF Fred
Douglass as Register OF Deeds at Wash
ington. The Republicans appear 10 be
worried because OF the unanimity with
which the colored people indorse the
course OF the administration in making
the appointment. They are afraid that it
means 100000 colored votes that will be
cast for the Democratic ticket in the
next campaign.

that the errors should have occurred. The

SATURDAY
+" ARBOR DAY"

The idea embodied in our leading
article yesterday, to the effect that the
3Oth OF November in each year should
be declared a national or children's
festival, to be called .EArbor Day," has
been well received. We understand
that the Royal Hawaiian Agricultural
Association has taken the matter up,
although we are by no means certain
that 1t is the best agency that could be
adopted to direct the practical work of
'Arbor Day" The sympathies OF
parents and guardians must be enlisted
or the children will not enter into the
spirit of the enterprise. Now, if an or
ganlzatiOn .sdch as the r. II. a: under
takes the initiative and direction it will
lack spontaneity, and the planting of
trees on "Arbor Day. will become a
delegated duty; in other words, there
will be considerable parade and very
little performance as the final outcome
OF it all.
We do not say this to check the ardor
OF the Royal Hawaiian Agricultural AS
ISOLATION. On the contrary, we are ex-
ceedingly pleased that it has taken hold
of the matter, but we cannot help indi-
eating at the same time probable cause
of failure should it attempt to direct
what must be a popular movement to
make it at all successful. Most people
will do voluntarily what they would

derstood that some incorporated soci-
ETY. was expected to look after
its accomplishment. For this reason we
think that whatever may be resolved
upon finally it should take the shape OF
an appeal to the sympathies of young
and old, making it a matter of pride on
their part to do something practical
towards building up and identifying the
country

Flag Presentation at ITonuapo.

On the 10th instant Captain w. f. Bates,
of the steamer w. G.. Hall, was presented
at Honuapo with a handsome silk Com
modore'> flag. The presentation was made
by MIR. c. \. Spencer, of Hilea, and in a
few well chosen words he expressed the
high esteem in which Captain Bates is held
by the donors of the flag and by all resi-
dents of Kan district. The gift of course
signifies that Captain Bates is the oldest
commander in our interisland steam ser
vice, he having for seven years past been
in the employ of the present company,
during which time he has never met with
an accident to his steamer, with the single
exception of the late fire, which, as every
one knows, could not in the least be attrib-
uted to any fault of his. The occasion was
made one of mutual good wishes, and we
join in the hope that the genial Captain
may live long to enjoy the distinction of
being Commodore of our successful and in
creasing feet of steamers. Captain Bates
had his new private insignia flying from
the mainmast as the vessel steamed into
the harbOr yesterday afternoon.

A pleasant and pleasing affair took place
at Honuapo to-day, namely, the presenta-

Bates. The flag was presented, on behalf
of the donors, by Mr.. c. y. Spencer in a
short but appropriate speech, which was
feelingly responded to by the gallant Com

when the Commodore pushed off from the

fine Minstrel Entertainments

Last evening the members of the Homo
lulu Yacht and Boat Club gave min
strel performance at the Hawaiian Opera
House. The audience was very large
one, filling every part of the hall. The
performance was brilliant success, and
reflected much credit on those who took
part. Mr.. ]. f. Brown was the musical
director, and presided at the piano. He
was assisted by Mr.. Yarndley, violin,
Mr.. Berger, double bass, Mr. Muller, sec
Ond violin, and one of the members of the
Royal Band, who played the clarionet.
The programme opened with a chorus
sung by the full company, some twenty in
number. 1t was capitally rendered. J.
Bright sang white Wings" displaying
good voice and considerable taste. He
was loudly applauded. The next number,
''Ah! There, comic song, was well given
by w G.. Armstrong. At the end of the
song he danced a Jig, which brought down
the house. The BOLD Jack Tar was al
fotted to H. w. Morse, and he gave it in
his usual we'll known style. J. NJ. Dowsett
surprised everyone by his rendering of the
pretty song, IN Take You Back, Kath-
leen," and received a well deserved en-
core. Clarence Macfarlane made hit
i'll singing Climbing Up the Golden
Stairs" Introducing a local hit or two.
The last song was Little Darling,
I'll be True" sung by w. Hogs. a
quintette was given by five native Ha-
waiians in a most excellent manner and
was redemanded. The first part concluded
with a comic sketch, The Skids," which
cOnvuIsed the audience with laughter. 1t
certainly was very funny. The "Skids"
were MesSrs. Morse, Macfarlane, Lillis and
Armstrong.
Part two opened with a character
song by Z. w. Holdsworth. This
gentleman is always entertaining, and on
this occasion fully maintained his repUta-
ton. He was encored, of course. A negro
sketch followed, the characters being sus
tanned by Messrs. Macfarland and Arm
strong. They created considerable amUse
ment and acted their parts to perfection
The trio from the "MikadO, ''Threr li5-
tie Maids" brought out Messrs. Dow=e,t,
Morse and Hogs in japanese costume.
1t was cleverly done, and encOred. J.
Appleby gave a banjo solo, and it is safe to
say that no finer playing has ever been
heard in this city. He is a complete mas
ter of the instrument. His playing of the
blue Bells of Scotland" was particularly
fine. Three times did he have to come out
before the audience was satisfied. |
The performance concluded with farce |
in one act, entitled "a Slippery Day" 1t |
introduced number of local characters, |
and in the end there was only one who was !
able to climb the ladder in safety The |
piece created endless amusement from be- |
ginning to end, and was a grand |
finale to Tery enjoyable evenings |
The boys have every |
reason to be proud of their sue
cess, as everyone went away perfectly |
The financial result will be be-
yOnd expectation.
This evening another performance will
be given, with a change in the programme.
The box plan is open at Wiseman's.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

The disconnected items of intelligence
which reached us on Thursday respect
ing affairs in Bulgaria and the respective
attitudes of the European Powers in re-
gard thereto afford but scant data
wherein to forecast the imm ediate
future. Preparations are to all appear
ance going on steadily, but quietly, for a
great struggle, in which it will be the
object of Russia, if not to effect coup
upon Constantinople itself, at least to
extend the borders of the Empire in that
direction. France, it is said, is urging
her to adopt this course, and
the pressure simultaneously brought
TO bear by the French Gov
eminent upon Great Britain, to
evacuate Egypt is easily recognizable
as part of the Franco-Russian pro-
gramme. Russia could never hope to
accomplish single handed the intercept
ing of the highway to India via the Suez
canal, and is therefore utilizing French
influence to assist in accomplishing her
object. The entente cordiale which has
up DCAACCt b.AC h'lAAteAAA h'AA'A w
Cars Government at so critical mo-
ment as the present is a matter the sig
nificance of which has not escaped the
attention of the British Cabinet, who,
provided there is no change of admins
tration, will pursue a similar line of pol
icy TO that outlined by Lord BeacOns-
field during the last war in the Balkan
peninsula.
The misleading character of that
policy, so far as Turkey was concerned, |
is doubtless still fresh in the memory of
the Porte. 1t is not surprising, there !
fore, that there should be indications of /
a secession In favor of or Il compromise /
with Russia in preference to putting /
faith in what proved to be a broken
reed in days gone by.
Irish affairs are becoming more pa
:ifc, there being concessions on both
ides, while matters in British South
africa are ominous. Whether or not

ECONOMY IN PRODUCTION.

News from various points on the
Islands is to the effect that the recent
rains give promise of bountiful season.
1t is too early, however, to speculate
with any degree of certainty upon the
outcome. OF course heavy crops go
long way towards compromising for low
prices, but it would be exceedingly salts
factory if our planters knew that a re-
action in prices had set in, or was even
probable. The latest advices from the
United States and Europe give very little
encouragement for hope in this direction.
If a general European war were to break
out then the price of Island sugar would
advance. Although this is possible, it
is by no means Il certainty. Our planters
would do.well to husband their resources
as much as possible, and endeavor to
offset low prices by economy in pro-
duction, and in handling the sugar
crop. If they pursue this course
with intelligence and persistence
they will find themselves in much bet
ter position to take advantage of any
favorable turn in the consuming markets
of the world that may occur. For the
present, therefore, the best thing for our
planters to do is to economic and make
the best possible use of their opportu-
mites. There is not now the element of
political uncertainty to trouble them, as
the Legislative Assembly is out of ses-
sion and the United States Congress viii
